Thankfully the living grunts are trying to give Xiao a proper burial. Though they aren't sure if they should tell Aleister what happened or not, though...

Or they should let him piece it together.

But it is your problem girl... Not mine...!"

And yet, Xiao Guis eyes would be devoid of life as he'd just limp lifeless. Is he finally gone? It seems so....

He isn't totally heartless here. He wants Reuniclus and the others to get a loving home here after he is gone. Perhaps he isn't 100% heartless. Mostly 98.5% heartless here...

"Welcome to... royal families and politics. Everyone needs to blame something... It's so damn easy to cause a war...-

"Hah... when something like this happens, every family needs a blame.... Something to push themselves for retribution...."

He is coughing up a lot of blood more as he is shaking a bit. But he may as well ask this...

"...If you want my Pokemon, take care of them... That is all I ask."-

if they learned I got killed like this, Nashi would want war..."

To him, he doesn't seem to care one bit if he is dead. The political retribution is going to be interesting after he is gone.

"H-Hah.... Sometimes a dull life is what creates killers.."

Payment to get travel and supplies without arousing the royal families suspicion...

They never knew... And they won't know... Even if they learned who I am, they'd just..."

COUGH!

"They'd deny it. And all that'd matter is retribution to the region they found me dead... Poor Alola here.-

one-upping another assassin. And all because he grew bored of being a rich prince...

"H-Hehehehe.... I always had that urge to kill... Something that was hidden. Until it was unleashed.... And over the years, I decided to have Reuniclus to help me with targets.

Good payment for my services.-

"Hah.... Prince of a certain Nashi Region that grew bored of everything. Bored of this life... Bored of the royal life.

And then I killed an assassin in self defense as a kid... And of course, the same assassin group hired me in with how the kill was..."

From a Prince to an assassin after-

ask them now..."

He's actually respectful of the woman who essentially put him on deaths door? That is a rarity among Kingchester agents here...

Guess the damned bastard was right. I would get a good challenge..."

It does seem like Aleister did hire him with the promise of having a good fight here. He technically got his wish but as he was bleeding out...

"H-Haha... You did good... But if you have any last second questions, best to-

And there was a hole through his stomach as he collapses to the ground.

And yet... he is just laughing?

"H...Hah.... Haha.... So this is what pain feels like, doesn't it...? Decades of being part of the royal family, not feeling happiness... And no challenge as an assassin back home... Hah...-

Unfortunately not even his usual luck could stop her here. And it feels like a cruel joke that the Pokemon that he killed in front of Reina was partly dark type and then here comes her sister, aiming a dark type move right at him.

Even Esmeralda should sense the irony here in this situation.-

your best then!"

This is going to be a nasty clash with both of them coming here...

blood. That jaw may be permanently wrecked here.

"No matter... You gave me a fight i always wanted. Even against those Pokemon didn't do anything here..."

He's just going to keep his claws out to swing. It's now or never! Either he hits Esmeralda with them or he dies...

"Tch... Come with-

"Hah.... Pathetic.... On both of us here. But given what you are, you don't have much to worry about death, even if it does happen.

You and your family reeks of death. Death and blood sucking."

He really has no respect for the children here as he is trying to get back up, coughing up-

"Ah? I take it you have been learning about your past life, Miss Cedar?"

Or rather, it seems like Blackwell has a feeling. Especially ever since Cedar told her she can't remember anything coming here. But she has been putting out some dinner next to Cedar.

Courteous to her assistant.

various souls that can't even reincarnate...?"

He is just having that wicked grin, holding onto that dislocated jaw. He knows he'll lose. But he may as well learn as much as he can here..

he keeps having a wicked grin, coughing up more blood as he is backing away a bit more.

"...Your entire family are nothing but monsters and this confirms it... Hah....! So, so beautiful it is...

So much instability, so much hatred, so much violence... How does it feel becoming part of-

instantly. The poor guy got vaporized in his place!

But the bad news is he is essentially on the ground, coughing up blood as his jaw looks to be dislocated from the blast.

"Yooooouuuu... So that is what you truly are.... One of the maaanny spirits bound by evil and death..."

And yet-

That could explain why she wasn't so worried about that future sight. And probably why she didn't seem to care about anything this assassin would throw at her.

At this point Xiao Gui is understanding what this woman even is now.

If it wasn't for that unfortunate meat shield, he'd be dead-

"Now, now, Malamar... Remember what I told you? Don't scare people like that. Last time you did, Mina was-"

Her eyes did freeze up onto this girl here. Huh... She never seen anything like it. But there felt to be an odd connection here.

"Huh... This is a new one. Come right in here, miss."

out some Hitmonlees, Aggrons, and a Cradily to try and slow down all of her Pokemon!

the poor mans shoulders, unintentionally using him as a shield!

"I... gotcha.... Oh... Did I have too much wine..."

Oh, he's going to turn green. If she did manage to hit him in the throat, it'd probably be the messiest wound possible!

But a few of the other henchmen of his are throwing-

the Confuse Ray at him....

"I... Hnngh... Uuuughh... Yoooouuuu!!! YOOOOUUUU!"

Well... Good news even with the confusion, he may find a way to shield himself from Esmeralda...

The bad news, it's one of the assistants who aren't getting Drain Punched as he sank those long claws deep into-

At the rate this is going, there's going to be more than one body here as things go on! The only saving grace for him is that his Reuniclus's Trick Room is still up for a little bit longer... But for how long?

He would keep a grip onto his claws, preparing to slash at her. Though he did get-

It all seemed quiet at first at the door... And then a thud... And another one... And yet another one!

Until..... The door bursts open.

["MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!"]

That is one way to greet a would-be assistant as this Malamar would just rip the door wide open, laughing!

Thankfully this flier does have a location for her lab. A rather two-three story large Apartment building... Only owned by this woman. Repurposed into a lab.

It is very easily noticeable, especially with rumors of the "Whacko scientist" who spent her fortune buying it and electronics...

"Just going to sent out applications for an assistant out here for my research... Free housing and food as long as they work together..."

This strange woman has been trying to bring out a lot fliers in hopes of getting someone, anyone to get to her side... To help with her research here..

that have done anything with his henchmen here?

["S-Sorry, little buddy... So sorry. He'd have my head!"]

he put his Kingambit and Dusknoir away. And yet he'd throw that Glalie out, Mega Evolving it...

And then... KABOOM!!! Refrigerate Explosion causing a huge BOOM all over, freezing some spots all over! This did buy him enough time to try and get some more Pokeballs to deal with her... But would-
