Fateen shook her head in disappointment as she watched through the window what Faust had done to the Cipher Peon he had killed. "He may prove more dangerous then Cipher if he continues down this path..." She said quietly to herself.

Ross walked out of the Pokemon Mart holding a large box in his hands. Ryhorn and Machoke followed. Machoke was holding a handful of Pokemon snacks that were steadily being devoured one by one. "Make em last, Machoke." Ross said. "This might be the last time we can get them for awhile. The Shopkeeper said he was running low on them."

Machoke let out a sigh and handed the rest of them to Ross who placed them in his pocket. "He looked at Ryhorn and Machoke and looked over at the Pokemon center which had at least three Cipher Peons standing in front of it. Ross shook his head. "Why do I have the feeling that they're keeping an eye out for us?" He muttered.

"Because they are." A familiar voice said smugly from behind him. Ross turned around and saw three more Cipher Peons behind him led by the one who was wearing blue from earlier. "Not so tough when it's six against one, huh?" The Peon said smugly as the three from in front of the Pokemon center approached him from the other direction. Ross narrowed his eyes.

"I get the feeling your holding a bit of a grudge from earlier. Strange. I didn't think you were the angry type." He said sarcastically as two Pokemon appeared in blazes of red light. A Kadabra and a Quagsire. 

"Psybeam." The Peon in blue commanded and a beam of light shot from the spoon that the Kadabra was holding and slammed into Machoke who hit the ground with a thud before Ross could do anything. "Water Pulse." he commanded again and a blast of water slammed into Ryhorn who hit the ground in a heap.

The Peon smiled and the two Pokemon returned to their Pokeballs as flashes of red light enveloped them. "And now for you." The Peon said smugly as he slammed his fist into the side of Ross's head as the peon's formed a circle around Ross. Ross hit the ground with thud next to his Machoke and Ryhorn as a flurry of punches and kicks hit him. The only thing he could do was try and cover his Pokemon. He could feel fists and armored feet impacting with his face and the other areas of his body.

"Not so tough now are you?" The Peon exclaimed as he stepped back to admire the work he and the others had done as a few of them continued beating him. Ross looked up with his bruised, beaten and swollen face and grinned. He was missing a few teeth. "That the best you've got?" He gasped in pain.

"You don't know when to shut up do you?" The Peon said with a smirk as he approached him yet again and prepared to kick him in the face.
