Chapter-1: Two Sides Of The Same Coin

"This is it, the folks Tobias the second time winner of the Sinnoh League is down to his last Pokemon will he be able to make a comeback now, lets find out as both the trainers are preparing for the finale." announced an over enthusiastic anchor while hyping the crowd.

Meanwhile on the field stood a women in her early twenties, she was captivating as it is but right now with her long blonde hair swaying due to the wind boosted her already elite stature, this women was in fact the Champion of Sinnoh Cynthia currently she was eyeing her opponent with her sharp gaze.

"This is it Tobias I am ending this now, although I must admit you have grown a lot since the last time we fought." Cynthia said in genuine appreciation.

Unfortunately her opponent did not share the same feelings….

"I don't need your pity Cynthia the truth is that my Pokemon are still weaker than yours it's due to their weakness that I am down to my last one."said an angered Tobias.

(This person does he truly not care about his Pokemon?)

Thought Cynthia as threw Garchomps Pokeball in the air, similarly Tobias called out his Darkrai.

"Before we begin, tell me Tobias what are your Pokemon to you?"

It was short and sincere question asked by the Sinnoh beauty.

"Huh! what do mean by that isn't it obvious they are my ticket to becoming a Champion, they are just tools to me." replied Tobias.

(Just Tools Huh…)

This was the ideology Cynthia was witnessing a lot these days be it in younger trainers or veterans, it was honestly disgusting I her eyes.

"Well then I recommend that you give up with that mindset you can't achieve anything let alone your dreams." was her stern reply.

"I don't need you to lecture me Champion, I can do as I see fit with my Pokemon I'll work them to the bone if it means I win" was Tobias's natural response.

(I see, in this case I will just end his Pokemon's misery quickly.)

Thinking this Cynthia grew colder and something in her changed, she was angry and it was a fact that didn't go unnoticed by Tobias who gulped in fear.

Needless to say it was Garchomp's victory.

"Damn it Darkrai you were my strongest pawn why are you so weak", Tobias yelled in anger at his semi conscious Pokemon.

Cynthia in turn waved at the cheering crowd and thanked Garchomp for his usual great performance before turning around to leave she thought to herself.

(People like him, don't deserve to be called trainers.)

Around the same time in the deeper part of Santalune forest in Kalos one person was patiently

waiting for someone to return. His light brown skin, jet black hair, his slim but muscular physique were completely hidden in the jungle's lush tapestry. The fact he was wearing a dark cloak was just supporting the above.

(He is late.)

Soon the man heard some leaves rattle only to reveal a bipedal black coloured frog Pokemon.

"Took you a while Greninja, did you find them?" he asked.

"Gren-Greninja" nodded the Pokemon while pointing towards the west side of the Jungle.

"Well then, what are we waiting for lets pay them a visit" replied our hooded figure.

While swiftly moving towards the intended direction our duo's feet halted as they heard laughter in the distance. They moved in closure without making noise and observed the situation.

(Alright looks like we found their camp.)

There were four men clad in uniform talking to each other and our hooded hero couldn't help but eavesdrop.

"Boss will be so proud, we really scored some good Pokemon this time." said one of the four men.

"Ya ya just hurry up and start loading the cages in the truck, Intel says that the rangers are onto us." ordered a man in his late twenties who appeared to be the squad leader.

"You worrry too much man it's time to celebrate" replied another person.

"I'll celebrate once we get out of this dump."

At this point our duo decided to act .

"Greninja take the one who is away from the group loading the cages, I'll handle the front three." said the cloaked individual calmly as both of them moved into position.

The man quickly jumped out of his cover and used the surprise element of his attack to nail one of the three grunts to the ground with a kick, the remaining two although very confused in the beginning quickly regained there composure and moved to attack the intruder. The cloaked person moved almost instantly after dealing with the first grunt and attacked the grunt duo with a flurry of punches and throws until both of the grunts were unconscious.

(It seems Greninja also dealt with his target)

While thinking he saw the cages the grunts were talking about and decided to break them open releasing the captive wild Pokemon inside. After this he pulled out his PokeGear and held it to his ear.

"HQ all of the four smuggler groups in Santalune Forest have been dealt with the culprits behind it have also been dealt with please inform the forest authorities so that they can be arrested I am sending you my coordinates now."

As the man waited for confirmation he tied all the grunts to a nearby tree and also recalled his Greninja.

"Goodwork Buddy" he told his Pokemon Before the red light of the Pokeball engulfed the frog Pokemon.

His Pokegear Rang and as he picked it up he was greeted with the operator's voice.

"The authorities have been informed Ranger, good work as usual Frost"
