The hand of the clock ticks by steadily in the guard room of the casino, counting down the minutes until Amalie's shift is over. Tick. Tick. Tick. Tick. She takes her job very seriously, but she knows that she can't stop every little thing in this casino from this lonely camera room, this is the heart of sin within Sootopolis after all. She counts herself lucky that she can make it to her family in the morning when she clocks out, a lot of people in her position have to do some shady work just to keep food on the table. Tonight, all she has to do is insert a little flash drive into her computer, then turn a blind eye for ten minutes. Her heartbeat picks up as she stares at the flash drive in her hand, why did she have to live in Sootopolis of all places? Any other city and she could feel comfortable just calling the police, she knew who was threatening her, she knew their face and who they worked for.
[break][break]
But there's no point pondering on useless if onlys and what ifs, her family's lives were in her hands now. With a grimace she clicks the flash drive into her computer and turns her attention to her phone. Ten minutes, no more, no less.
[break][break]
Xenon smiles as the light on her phone turns green, she takes both halves of the cheap disposable and cracks it in half with a sharp snap as the plan is set into motion. "Operation Shiny Hunt is a go bone brains, lets make some waves." She mutters under her breath as she gets up from her seat at the bar and begins moving, her wireless earpiece perfectly picking up what she had to say and transmitting it to Kouji. The plan was simplicity at its finest, Kouji would dispose of a guard somewhere and take their credentials and uniform, meet her at the service door by the one armed bandits, and after that they'd walk into the back areas of the casino to find their prize.
[break][break]
It was hardly a plan, but Xenon never liked making complicated schemes that were set in stone. Things made in the past were pretty worthless after all.

Kouji might have recovered physically from all the problems that had been caused during the war in the ultra-deep sea, but he had taken more mental damage following it, than anything during it. He looked at the sight of this casino before he pressed a finger to his earpiece, he disliked complicated plans…
[break][break]
But this one was nice and simple, he just had to beat a guy up?
[break][break]
Where was the chance to prove he could also have brains, he didn’t want to leave his lose to Eris Halla as his last reminder of what would happen. But for now, for this moment, he skirted at the edges of the building.
[break][break]
”You got any sights on any guards moving out, dumbbolts?” He said as he looked at the door, his hand was on his knife but he let go; no point in killing them here and now. He’d just take the man out.
[break][break]
And so Kouji waited on the call, so he could leave, so he could strike.

"Yeah, one heading your way in twenty seconds, blondie with maybe five centimeters on you, get the jump on him and it shouldn't be a problem." Xenon doesn't even miss a beat as she weaves her way through the crowd of the casino, briefly pausing by a couple of inebriated men watching a League match at one of the large TVs scattered through the main floor. Druddigon and a Klinklang, she knew which one she was rooting for at a glance.
[break][break]
And just like she had said, a blonde man in an official looking security uniform was walking Kouji's way as he scrubs away at the lapel of his suit with an annoyed look, she had spilled vodka on his chest and forced him to go to his car to grab a spare shirt, or at least that's what she had bet on him doing instead of continuing his shift smelling of high proof alcohol drifting right into his nose. She knew humans too well, creatures of habit who relied on past behaviors even to their own detriment. "Ten seconds, finish it within thirty and I'll have a treat for you by the time you make it inside." Xenon giggles as she skillfully unhooks one of the better's watches from his wrist, she's gone before he ever even realizes she was around in the first place.

Kouji smirked. ”It better be a drink, maybe a kiss; but I feel like I’d catch some disease from the future.” He said as he cracked his neck; he had to fight, end it in a few moments. Murder was out of the question, he would look at a different path, a smarter path. He kept his knife unflicked, the metal bottom ready before leapt out.
[break][break]
It was a short engagement, the man was busy rubbing away at his clothes and thus had only seen Kouji when it was a second too late. He smashed the metal base into the side of the man’s head, and quickly wrapped his arms around the man’s neck.
[break][break]
His forearm wrapped around the front before he gripped onto his other bicep, and began to crank as he dragged him back into the gap between buildings, his grip got harder, and harder as the man struggled; taller than himself, but the opening that Xenon gave him was more than enough.
[break][break]
Taking that moment to switch their clothes, and make sure his pokeballs were in his pocket, he pressed to his earpiece. ”Switch complete, better prepare that gift for me.” He said as he took the key, and walked into the door, the cap and high collar concealed most of his face even in the brightly lit room.

Xenon smirks as she listens to the sound of struggle and turmoil over Kouji's earpiece, not wasting a second as she swipes a drink out of some poor woman's hand to take as the man's reward. She's about to say something, probably yell, but the woman of the future is always one step ahead as she presses her body in close to this nameless woman and locks lips with her to take her breath away. The kiss lasts for a solid fifteen seconds as everyone around stares at the blatant display of passion and romance, long enough for Kouji to walk in and catch the tail end of it as Xenon breaks away with a smile, leaving her gasping for air and hungry for more.
[break][break]
But already she's gone in the crowd as she makes her way to the rendezvous point. "Enjoy the treat bone brains? Don't let those pants get too tight, we've still got a job to do after all." The smug satisfaction in her voice is palpable as she turns a corner and stops by the door to the service halls, waiting for Kouji to show and swipe his pilfered ID so they could get on with the show. And she of course, holds out his hard earned prize, some fruity cocktail with the vague color of purple and blue swirling about like a whirlpool of neon lights.

Of all the things, that had not been the thing Kouji had expected; but then again perhaps he should have learned to expect a thing such as that, or rather, learn to expect anything and everything from this person.
[break][break]
”You’re never going to do this again huh?” He said as he lifted his jaw off the ground, and took the drink from her hand before gulping it; ignoring the bile that rose up the moment he felt it hit his stomach; the sickly sweet flavor he hated. Between that, there was no time for a barb for him to throw…
[break][break]
”Anyway, my trouser’s aside…What’s the plan?” He said as he slid her the id that he had pilfered from a sleeping guard. ”We don’t have all that long either.”
[break][break]
That person could be awake this moment, or they could wake up in an hour from now; time was variable, but then again; that was the core ethos of this very person.

"Never say never, the future twists and turns in ways you can never predict after all." Of course she wouldn't give him a solid answer for that one, it's much more fun to keep him hoping and wondering like the caveman he is. But that's that and this is this, she's already moved on as she takes the ID from his hand and swipes it through the little card reader that was blocking her from the future she craved. The light dings green and the door unlocks, all it takes is a single push and they're into the service halls.
[break][break]
Now for the fun part. "The plan from here on out is pretty simple. The room we're looking for is gonna be four intersections down and to the left. That's the entirety of the plan. From here on out we improvise like real ultramodernists!" Xenon laughs as she starts skipping forwards, literally skipping as she releases Argon from his pokeball to start moving ahead and acting as a forward scout. Best warning he would be able to give his about two seconds, but that's all she needed.
[break][break]
One intersection, two intersections, it's the third where trouble rears its head as she hears footsteps coming from around the corner to her right, Argon's head peeks from the wall with a panicked look, but Xenon hardly even responds as she slips a knife from the pocket of her coat and thrusts forwards without hesitation. She has no way of knowing how tall this person is, how fast they're moving, but still she trusts in the future to bring her to where she needs to be as her hand moves into empty space. The man rounds the corner, steel cuts through the jugular vein and tears apart the throat, he's left on the floor drowning in his own blood as Xenon drops the knife on his already stilling body.
[break][break]
"Welp, I think it's about time we hurry things along now!" She giggles as she breaks out into a run, uncaring if Kouji could keep up the pace or not. They were in too deep to back out now, not that he ever would have.

Kouji had sought to think things through more, to use the little gray cells that sat within his cranium. ”The hell was that?” That wasn’t trust, or an awareness of the future but recklessness.
[break][break]
Kouji couldn’t stand it, but…
[break][break]
What?
[break][break]
”Fuck it, we roll.” He said as he began to chase after her, the flow of these rooms, the turns of the alleyways; the depth of tension, Kouji knew this sensation, and he missed it. Using his mind was hard, thinking his actions through, to plot ahead of those he was faced against.
[break][break]
There was none of that in that moment, Kouji charged ahead, bowled ahead, his hand went straight into his pocket, his knife flicked out; the glint of his mega stones caught the light for a moment as he turned the corner; and threw the knife at one of the guards, the other seemed to freeze at the sight of his uniform, Kouji didn’t miss that moment to tackle the man.
[break][break]
”Take the room, I’ll be right behind ya.”

Results spoke for themselves as the two rush forwards and turn the corner, Kouji one step ahead of her as he pulls out his own knife and goes straight for the kill, as he moves in to tackle the other guard Argon would emerge from the floor and knock the second guard's feet out from under him just in time for the ruffian's tackle.
[break][break]
Xenon would waste no time rushing past Kouji's brawl, stepping right over the spasming soon to be corpse as she hits the door and swipes her pilfered key card to bust it open. And just as she expected, floating right there in a pretty little gilded cage, was The One. It doesn't take more than a glance to tell this Beldum is special as it curiously stares out at the new visitor to its prison, its metal coat an absurdly beautiful platinum silver as the light hits its body and sparkles in the darkness. This is what Xenon is here for as she crouches down to stare into the beauty's solitary crimson eye, blood dripping from her hands as she reaches between the bars and strokes the Beldum's body lovingly. "Just as I thought... an ideal fragment of the future, how lovely~" She whispers, shivers running down her spine as she forces herself to pull back and start working on the lock.

There was no choice but to slash the man; the brawl was something worthless; his knife flashed in the struggle, and he slipped it in between the ribs of the man, his expression fell from a smirk to a neutral expression, a deadpan. He never enjoyed taking lives, he would never like it either, he was just a machine and this was the result of his operations.
[break][break]
The other man was someone to take out, someone to take on, someone to break down, and so he brought the knife down on his throat before he followed Xenon. His mind was fixed on the image in front of him, his eyes didn’t change direction from it.
[break][break]
Yet, he didn’t expect that to be the goal.
[break][break]
”Beldum huh?”
[break][break]
”Was it really worth everything?”

"You'll understand someday, once you've gotten a firm glimpse of your ideal future." Her voice is unnaturally soft as she pops open the lock to the Beldum's cage, watching it slowly meander out and take its first glimpse of the world outside the cave. Its crimson eye peers inquisitively at the dead bodies on the floor, absorbing the visual stimuli of crimson life staining the grey tile of the hallway outside the storage room, staring at the glassy eyes of the dead man as Xenon steps over him and looks back at the baby pokemon.
[break][break]
"Come on then. You don't want to get left behind." Xenon coos as the Beldum speeds up its approach, just in time for the girl to crouch down and poke a pokeball against its forehead and claim ownership of it for herself. "You shall be key to creating the future, an essential element to make sure the steel of my blade never dulls and never rusts. You shall be Chromium." She presses the pokeball to her lips as its lock clicks shut, a chaste kiss that lasts for but a brief second before she tucks the pokeball into her coat and turns back to Kouji.
[break][break]
"Alright bone for brains, we've got half a minute to blow this joint before the alarm goes off, another minute after that the doors are gonna lock and we're sitting Psyducks. Time to move!" And just like that she's off like a Boltund, running back the way they came and making a hard right as she follows some ingrained path in her head towards the back exit. It's all up to Kouji now to keep up.
