[i]"Err, hey,"[/i]

Eagun smiled at the woman sadly as Velis asked if he had problems with Cipher.

"Yes...It's my fault that they managed to take over Agate and destroy the Relic Stone." He said quietly as he recalled the events of that horrible day. "They marched into the village led by a man wearing a black and red robe. He called himself Hiri and his eyes were filled with cruelty and rage. His Shadow Pokemon badly wounded my Pikachu in the first battle and then attacked me one he knocked out Pikachu. I was badly wounded. Hiri...he took great delight in having his Pokemon beat me. When I was helpless and couldn't move..."

Eagun's eyes teared up but he wiped them away. "His Pokemon destroyed the Relic Stone. It...It was horrible. A flash of green light appeared in the forest and Celebi appeared. They tried to capture it but it managed to flee through time. It was then that Hiri decided, if he couldn't posses Celebi, he would destroy my life and everything that I vowed to protect. The Cipher peons with him used their Pokemon to set fire to the forest, to this day, only ash remains."

He looked up at the two women. "I was once Eagun. The mythical trainer. But now I am nothing. I failed everyone and I failed the Pokemon of Orre. I failed my wife and my Pokemon when I allowed them to be captured."

[i]"Can you sense Cipher?[/i]

Ross looked up and saw two Cipher Peons looking down at them from a tree. They jumped out and landed in front of the trio. Ross looked at them and saw that one of them was the blue Cipher peon who had attacked him earlier. Ross narrowed his eyes. "The one in blue is mine." He said quietly as the Blue Peon released two Pokemon that appeared in blazes of red light. A Larvitar and a Bayleaf.

The Cipher Peon dressed in red grinned behind his mask as he looked at Tinder and released an Alakazam and a Marshtomp. Ross looked at the Marshtomp uneasily. Something seemed...off about it.

"Hello little girl. I heard you scared my friends off earlier. I think it's time you learned a lesson in manners."
