[i] "Far as I know, Eagun spent a lot of time near the falls. He could be hiding out there?"[/i]

Ross could feel his strength returning and was able to stand on his own. "Only one way to find out." He said with a smile as he looked over at Ryhorn and Machoke. "C'mon guys. It's time to get going. We're going to help these nice folks out."

Machoke eagerly jumped to it's feet while the Ryhorn looked up at him, yawned and then slowly stood up and followed Ross and Machoke as they headed for the door. Velis turned to look at the others with a bemused look on her face. "He's certainly eager isn't he?" She said with a laugh.

[b]Agate Village[/b]

Two of the Cipher peons who had been attacked by Tinder and Garchomp ran up a hill before stopping behind a figure who was sitting cross legged and had his eyes closed and bowing respectfully and a bit nervously. "Master Hiri, We have intruders in the village."

The figure didn't open his eyes but he uncrossed his legs as he listened.

"We were dealing with that trainer who appeared in the village a few days ago when a woman with a Garchomp came out of nowhere and attacked us. There is also a woman with a Croconaw and a Quilava here as well along with possibly a few others. We couldn't get an exact count of how many they're are. Sir, do you think they could be going after Eagun's wife and Pokemon?"

The Figure got up and stepped out of the shadows for to reveal an old man wearing red and black robes with a hood covering his face. His eyes, when they could be seen were cutting and cold. "Be silent and use what little brains you have. If they had come here to rescue the old man's wife and Pokemon they wouldn't have given themselves away so soon. They must be here for something else."

Hiri approached the two Peons and stared down at them. He smiled a cold smile as he saw them cower in fear. "I will be heading for whats left of the Agate Forest. You will find these trainers and deal with them. And just in case I'm wrong which I highly doubt, post a couple extra guards in the Cave near the back of the village. No one is allowed in. If anyone tries to get in, deal with them and bring them to me."

The two Peons gulped and bowed before turning and running away. They knew better then to question Hiri. He cruel nature was legendary with Cipher and was known to torture people who questioned his methods, even members of Cipher.
