Urakyoto – Yasaka's Office
- Yasaka -
"What have you got to report on the spies within our faction?" I say to my guardians.
"As ordered, my lady, I have set up a network of ink bugs that I have been using to gather information from within. I have created a list of people who have been leaking information to various factions. What I've learnt so far is they are all people who joined our faction at one point, which makes me believe they were sent here on a long-term mission." Sumio replies, handing me a file containing pages with information on each person and the factions they have been providing information to.
There were quite a few spies in the faction; I wasn't surprised to see there were none from the 5 Principal Clans, seeing as they believe themselves too far above us to do such a thing and wouldn't confide in Yokai to send them information.
The Devils New and Old, Grigory, Norse, a group calling themselves the Hero Faction and a few more have all been contacted recently with information about our faction.
"Good work, Sumio. Don't let them find out we are on to them, and feed false information to them when you can."
"Thank you, and it will be done, my lady." Sumio replies, nodding towards me.
"Were you able to find out what information they've sent out recently?"
"Yes, my lady, most of the information is about you meeting up with Souta recently, but they haven't named him from what I've been able to gather. More concerning is that they sent information regarding rumours of our new abilities, but I haven't been able to find the source of these rumours so far. They don't have proof of what our abilities do, but it's the fact that it's being hinted at even though we've not revealed anything ourselves that is the issue."
A frown appears on my face hearing what Sumio said, "That is concerning. Try to find out where the rumours are coming from and check any of the places that we've held meetings before for anything that could have been used to listen in on us."
I held no concerns over the security of my own office; it has been warded specifically against any form of spying or scrying.
"Another thing that I've been able to find out is Elder Hebigoro has been planning a coup with a few other elders to become head of the faction."
Hearing this, I let out a sigh. Of course he would decide to plan a coup. Hebigoro has been an elder of the faction for a long time; he was around during my grandmother's era and had wanted to become the next leader after my mother only to be denied. I had hoped he wouldn't find issue with me with how well everything had been going, but I can see that is not the case.
"Keep me informed on everyone who is involved in his plans and what they plan to do. Once we have enough evidence and know who exactly is part of the coup, then we will deal with it then. Does anyone else have any news they wish to share?"
"Nyah, there has been an increase of devils near the borders as well as a few stray devils entering into Kyoto itself." Mio says, frowning.
"Send out the squads you trust to deal with the strays; any devils that enter Kyoto without permission can be captured for questioning. If they attempt to fight back, then execute them."
"Won't the devils retaliate?" Hiyori replied, 'Hiyori is one of my 6 guardians; she is a Namanari Hannya, a form of Kijo (demon woman). She has purple hair, red eyes and skin and is 6 feet tall and wears a Noh mask.'
"If a devil is killed within Kyoto after refusing to come in for questioning, then it is their problem. I have already warned Serafall that Kyoto is off-limits to any devils. Just because they have 4 powerful leaders, the devils seem to think this allows them to do what they want, so executing anyone who resists will be a warning, and if they try anything, the other factions won't sit back either."
"I understand." Hiyori nods in response.
"How are you adjusting to your new power?" I ask her.
"Good, I'm still getting used to changing forms and handling the increased vision that comes with being a spider, but I am much stronger compared to before. I couldn't believe that a fruit could give me all this even if I saw what they did to the others."
"Believe me, I was also quite shocked when I found out about them myself. I'm just glad Souta is how he is; otherwise, he could've decided on taking over the faction with a group powered up with his mystic fruits."
Hiyori was given the Acromantula mystic fruit after hearing about the new fruits we had to choose from; the last 2 of my guardians also chose to take a mystic fruit each as well.
Shu is a Shōjō; he had bright red hair and black eyes and was 7 feet 8 and stood there holding a jar of sake that he would drink from every so often. He decided to eat the Niffler mystic fruit.
And lastly, Kairi – she is a Rokurokubi whose head was detached and floating from her body. She was the one I sent to guard Souta secretly, as she was best at staying out of sight. She was 4 feet 11 with black shoulder-length hair and blue eyes, and she decided to eat the Fairy mystic fruit.
With the main issues out of the way, the meeting ended with no issues as my guardians set out to do their new tasks.

Grigory Headquarters – Azazel's Workshop
- Azazel -
Azazel is a ruggedly handsome man that looked to be in his early 30s; he had short black hair with golden bangs and a black goatee; he wore black pants and a long maroon V-neck coat with various black belts strapped to it.
My concentration was broken as the door to my workshop was slammed open as my fellow cadre and the chief secretary to Grigori walked in with a large pile of paperwork.
"To what do I owe the pleasure, Penemue?" I turn around and ask while already knowing what she wanted.
Rolling her eyes she says, "Bringing the paperwork you have been neglecting for the past week and before you say you've been busy working on trying to understand father's sacred gears, I can see the illicit magazines you hid as I walked into the room."
Turning back to my desk, I quickly check, as I thought I'd hidden them properly, only to see they were actually hidden.
Turning back to Penemue, I smile weakly after giving myself away; she just glares at me and drops the paperwork onto my desk, which has me slumping. I should never have become the leader of the Grigori.
"Any news you wish to pass along before I begin my torture?" I say, looking for a way to escape this.
"Zeus has been raging about the devils recently, and a young man has been seen meeting a few times with Yasaka of the Kyoto Yokai. There was also a report sent from a spy regarding rumours of strange new abilities in the faction," she says, pushing her glasses up.
"Bah, Zeus, he'd rage at the mirror if he saw a hair out of place. I'm more interested in Yasaka meeting this young man; I feel like I should head over there to proclaim my affections again." Standing up to head out, I was instead grabbed by the clothes around my neck and forced to sit back down.
"Do not use that as an excuse to avoid paperwork. I will chain you to a chair and force you to attend every meeting for a month if I have to do it again. Is that understood?" she says, smiling dangerously.
"Yes, ma'am." I croak out.
"What do we know about these rumoured abilities?" I ask, interested at the idea of potentially more sacred gears to research.
"Nothing as of yet; it was just rumours so far. I've asked our contact within the faction to find out as much as they can."
"Good, I wish to know as soon as possible if they're Sacred Gears. I'll have to look into getting into contact with Yasaka to study them." I'll also get to check who she's been meeting with; anyone that catches the interest of Yasaka has to be important for one reason or another.
"I'll let you know as soon as I hear anything."
"Now, what's Vali been up to?" I ask, getting a sigh from her at the question about my adopted son.
"What he's always doing is challenging anyone he can to a fight; the medical team are sick of seeing anyone he fights."
I wince slightly at that. Yeah, Vali has always been a bit of a battle maniac. I dread the day he finally finds Albion's rival.
Shaking my head at the thought, I say, "Let him know I've got a job for him; it should keep him out of trouble for a while."
Turning around with a sigh, I pull the first sheet from the pile down, and a vein pops out due to the anger I feel from reading it. It's a document asking for permission to remove the picture of me from the wall of cadres. Honestly, I don't even care if it was removed; it's more the fact they added it to the pile of work I had to sign.
Vaporising the sheet with my light, I hear Penemue laughing as she walks out.

Lucifaad – 4 Satans Meeting Room
- Sirzech Lucifer -
Sitting at a round table with 3 others was Satan Sirzech Lucifer, formerly known as Sirzech Gremory. As Satan Lucifer, he oversees domestic affairs within the underworld. He is a handsome man who looked to be in his 20s; he has shoulder-length crimson hair and blue-green-coloured eyes, and he was wearing a crimson suit with a white dress shirt and black tie.
To his left was Ajuka Beelzebub, formerly known as Ajuka Astaroth. He is the Chief Advisor for the Technology Department and most famously known as the creator of the Evil Pieces and Rating Games. He is, if not more, handsome than Sirzech; he appeared to be the same age as Sirzech and had light blue eyes with short green slicked-back hair. He wore a white lab coat with a green dress shirt underneath and black pants.
To the left of Ajuka was Serafall Leviathan, formerly known as Serafall Sitri. She oversaw Foreign Affairs for the underworld. She appeared, like the other 2 Satans, extremely beautiful and in her early 20s. She had long black hair that was tied up into twin tails and blue eyes, and she was wearing a blue suit with a black dress shirt underneath.
Finally, the remaining Satan, Falbium Asmodeus, formerly known as Falbium Glasya-Labolas, was in charge of military affairs; he had no hair on his head and a goatee, he wore grey comfy clothing and seemed to be ready to fall asleep.
"As always, thank you for joining me for this week's meeting, despite how busy we all are." I say, getting nods and a cheerful agreement from Serafall.
"Now who would like to start us off with any issues that they have been having recently?"
A loud groan comes from Serafall as she begins saying, "Mou, it's annoying. Sirzech-Chan, Zeus has been up in arms all week about some devils in his territory trying to find members for their peerage. After investigating what happened, I've tried to appease Zeus by saying it was their own choice to leave, but he won't take that for an answer. Plus, I hate dealing with the Greeks; all they do in Mount Olympus is leer when I turn up there."
"Well, if they've already been informed that it was a choice that was made and not forced, there is nothing we can do about it. He'll continue to kick up a storm about it until something else catches his attention. If it was forced recruitment, what we would be dealing with would be much worse. Thankfully it is not. Don't worry about heading over there again for now." I say, getting a grin and nod in return.
"The borders thankfully have been calm; previously the fallen angels of the area would attempt to goad our own into starting a small skirmish, but they seem to have been swapped out for another unit. From what we've gathered, the previous unit are followers of Kokabiel and were unhappy with how the war ended." Falbium said as he laid his head down on a cushion he brought along with him.
"That's good news. It would be bad for us if fights broke out when our plans are heading towards peace between our factions. The last thing we need is another war; we're still recovering from the previous ones as it is." I say, getting a solemn nod from the rest of them.
"On my end we've been investigating a few energy spikes that have been coming from the demon pits. I've had a few units sent by Falbium and some of my own scientists sent to check the reasons why, but nothing has been sent back so far." Ajuka calmly stated.
"That's concerning; please keep us updated. The last thing we need is anything to destabilise the demon pits; we all know what happened previously." I say, getting grimaces all around.
Many years ago, before the wars had started, the Demonic Pits had a mass outbreak due to the original Lucifer performing tests on those inside, which led to a demonic beast wave which made the land in the area surrounding the pits unliveable due to the corruption from the blood of the beasts, who also managed to kill a lot of devils before being properly dealt with.
"I recently got some news about the Kyoto Yokai. Yasaka has been meeting up quite a lot with a young man recently, but we don't know the reason why. Our spy thinks it could be a new lover. Another thing is there are rumours of new abilities appearing in the faction." Serafall said, wiggling her eyebrows at the first part.
"Interesting. If the rumours are true, it could most likely be that they have managed to acquire some sacred gear users for their faction. Another thing to note is I came across a post about new magic books for sale at a store in Kyoto. I am interested in finding out if the post is telling the truth, but I haven't had time to purchase them for myself." Ajuka responded.
"Really! So-tan would love to learn about new magic. Maybe I'll pick some up for her and get loads of praises and hugs and kisses from her." Serafall exclaimed, easily slipping into her daydream.
"Ria-tan would love it as well," I mumble under my breath, imagining how happy Ria-tan would be.
A loud popping sound brings us both out of our wandering minds as Ajuka had cast something to make a loud noise as he was shaking his head at us.
"As endearing as your love is for your siblings, please don't forget the meeting." Ajuka says with a deadpan stare.
Serafall and I share a sheepish smile before getting back to the meeting at hand.
The meeting carried on for a while longer, going over various reports, before the rest of the afternoon was spent as a break between old friends before we all went our separate ways to carry on with our duties.

Route 209
- Souta -
Trudging through the long grass as I made my way through the deep woods of Route 209, just to be safe, I had my wand at the ready, and I was prepared to summon my grimoires at a moment's notice. Dennis was sitting on my head, looking around curiously while also keeping an eye out for other Pokémon like I asked him to.
After overhearing a couple of trainers talking about the rumours yesterday, I was confident enough in my abilities to investigate the rumours. While I wasn't expecting to find anything since the rangers had apparently reported finding nothing in the area, I thought it would be fun just to check it out anyway, and who knows, maybe we'll come across something interesting.
"Have you spotted anything?" I asked Dennis, who tapped my head twice to indicate no.
After a while we eventually left the long grass, so I didn't have to push my way through anymore. We did come across a few Pokémon who blocked our path but were more than happy to leave us alone after chucking a few berries towards them; some we avoided entirely since Dennis had spotted them first.
While the grass wasn't as long as before, it still went up to my knees. In front of us was a massive mountain wall that had various holes throughout. I knew there was a mountain in the area behind the forest after reading up on this route, but if I hadn't previously studied it, I would never have known due to the lack of knowledge the games offer about the world.
Walking closer to one of the holes at my level, I could feel a warm heat blowing out from the tunnel, which I hadn't expected. There was a slight smell like that of a match after it had been blown out.
Breaking me out of my thoughts was Dennis, who had already climbed off my head and onto the floor; he was tugging at my pants and pointing further down the wall to let me know he found something.
Following him, we make our way along the wall while being careful of any Pokémon that could jump out at us from the tunnels.
After a short walk Dennis pushes me into one of the tunnels as we make our way further inside to be on the safe side. I had summoned the water and earth grimoires that I kept small and close to me.
Dennis tugged on my pants again, getting me to stop, while gesturing to be quiet. Crouching down in the darker part of the cave, I wait until I finally hear people talking.
"Tch, why do we have to be on lookout?" said a gruff male voice.
"Well, it was this, or you could have questioned the leaders' orders and either got punished for it or put on toilet cleaning duty like the last ones who spoke up," said a more nasally sounding male voice.
"Hopefully the rangers that have been sniffing around turn up; I could do with a good battle to let off some steam." The first voice said maliciously.
"Don't say that you know if we have to cancel the operations here Commander Mars will punish us for the failure." The second voice said with a shake in his voice.
Commander Mars, if I remember correctly, she was a member of Team Galactic, so this must be one of their hideouts, and for whatever reason, they want it to remain hidden.
Pulling on the bond with Dennis, I ask him to distract the two guarding the area to get them to face away from me.
With a thumbs up he digs into the ground, and after a short moment the conversation they were having stops as they both hear the shuffling of earth near them.
"What's that?" said the second voice.
"Probably a Pokémon that's wandered into the area; look over there." Said the first.
Taking that as my cue, I round the corner with both grimoires ready and cast 2 quick stunning charms from my wand towards both grunts. "Stupefy."
"Wha-, who?" they both manage to get out as they turn after hearing me before they both slump to the ground unconscious. Noticing their belts with 2 Poké Balls each, I use the summoning charm "Accio", yanking both belts towards me while snapping the clips holding them together apart from the force of the spell.
Grabbing the belts, I quickly put each of the Poké Balls into stasis mode, making sure the Pokémon can't release themselves.
"Good work, Dennis." He preens at the praise as he makes his way towards me, pointing towards the hatch that I've already spotted after knocking out the 2 grunts.
Shrinking their Poké Balls and putting them into my bag along with whatever else I found on them, I cast "Petrificus Totalus", paralysing both grunts until I come back later, as I make my way over to the hatch and use the keycard that they had on them.
With a small hiss the latch releases, and I make my way down the now open bunker with Dennis now on my shoulder and leave the latch open behind me.
Inside was mainly made of flattened-out stone with metal beams and walls acting as support every so often. As I crept along the wide manmade tunnels slowly, I noticed there weren't any cameras so far, either due to negligence, thinking no one would come across this base, or the fact that they didn't want any visual records to be saved anywhere.
After a while the tunnel we were walking down came to an end and split 2 ways; hearing noises coming from the right, we decided to head that way first. Eventually we came upon 3 doorways, with the one at the end of the tunnel being where we heard the noises coming from.
As we got closer, we managed to make out some of the noises were from Pokémon growling and the sounds of electricity and sometimes whimpers. Peeking through the window on the door, I managed to see a room filled with cages that had a host of Pokémon, with all of them being fire types.
"Get in the cage, mutt," a woman with a stick that resembled a cattle prod shouted as she zapped the whimpering Growlithe, only for a Vulpix to leap in front of it and growl, teeth bared, at the woman.
Seeing enough of the cruelty, I prepared myself to head inside. There were a lot more grunts in here than the 2 on guard; they were all stacking cages on top of each other or forcing Pokémon into them.
Once again, I pull on my bond with Dennis, asking him to head further into the room where none of the grunts were and quietly release some of the Pokémon from their cages. While the cages were locked, I noted the bolts were thin enough for Dennis to grind through them with his arms since they were made for grinding down metal anyway.
Nodding towards me, he digs into the ground. As I wait, I switch the water grimoire for the DADA grimoire.
Hearing shouting coming from inside, I use the keycard again, which unlocks the door. I pull it open and make my way inside while everyone's attention is on the escaped Pokémon.
"Boss, some of them have escaped their cages," a grunt shouted.
"Well, don't just stand there; get them back into you, useless bastards." The woman who I now know is the boss shouts.
Acting fast, I cast "Stupefy" at the nearest grunts in the confusion, stunning them before they could release their Pokémon. The DADA grimoire was casting Petrificus Totalus at anyone I had stunned or grunts that were panicking from the flames the Pokémon were releasing towards them, while the earth grimoire I had out was using Quicksand, which led to a lot of screaming coming from the grunts.
Seeing everything going against her, the leader spun around to see the cause of it all and spotted me.
"YOU, THIS IS YOUR DOING!" She growled out, releasing a large Skuntank.
"Rip him apart, Rex, but make it slow; I want to hear him scream in pain for messing with us," she said with vicious glee.
Ok, this woman is nuts.
Most, if not all, of the other grunts had been dealt with. There was an overwhelming amount of Fire Pokémon that had been released by Dennis, so I focused on the leader, trusting them to finish the rest of them off.
Deciding not to reply to her, I jump onto the earth grimoire, dodging the sludge bomb fired my way by the Skuntank, getting a look of surprise from them both.
"WHA- WHAT IS THAT THING!" She shouts.
Ignoring her, I cast "Stupefy" towards the Skuntank, who was too shocked to dodge the spell, not expecting it to come from me. As the spell hit the Skuntank, it knocked it back slightly but didn't knock it out, to my surprise.
I make a mental note of it for later but focus back onto the fight.
"HOW ARE YOU DOING THAT!" She screams, frothing with rage.
Seeing as the stunning charm has no effect on Skuntank, I aim at knocking out the leader instead. "Depulso" –a wave of force is sent towards the leader, sending her flying backwards.
Dodging another attack from the Skuntank, I swerve towards the leader to stun her, as Dennis comes out of the ground beneath the Skuntank, sending it flying. As I reach the leader, a Houndoom has already charged towards her, and large black fangs appear around its mouth, ripping through her neck.
"Shit!" I shout, seeing the Houndoom kill her.
The Houndoom just looks at me and growls, seemingly preparing itself.
"Wait, I'm here to help." I say quickly.
Either not believing me or caring, the Houndoom's mouth licks with flames until it stops and looks down at a Houndour biting its leg and attempting to pull the Houndoom back as best it can.
"Thank you." I say to the Houndour, while the Houndoom just grunts and grabs the young Pokémon by the scruff of the neck and walks away.
Grabbing the Poké Ball from the corpse, I make my way to Dennis as quickly as possible, who was struggling to dodge against the evolved Pokémon and had made loads of tunnels in the floor from digging. Returning the Skuntank to its ball, I place it into stasis much to Dennis' relief, and he lies on the ground breathing heavily as I thank him for his hard work.
I began doing the rest with the Grunts' Pokémon, as all of them had been knocked out at this point. It took a while since I didn't know what ball was linked to what Pokémon, but I eventually got them all locked away in stasis.
As for the grunts that were still alive and knocked out, I moved them to the cages to keep them locked up for now since I didn't want them waking up to just cause more trouble.
It was unfortunate, but I wasn't able to locate a phone on anyone here.
Turning to the fire types in the room, I noticed they were wary of me, but seeing me help them, they were a bit more trusting. I noticed a few of the grunts had died from the fights, but if the way I had seen the fire types had been treated through the window was anything to go by, then it's no surprise they wanted revenge.
"Hello, I'm not here to harm you. I found this place with my Pokémon and saw what was happening in here, so I decided to help you. This is the first room I came to after hearing the noises. Now I'm not sure how many more there are, but there are some rooms left in this base, meaning more grunts to deal with. I could do with the help with saving any others in case they are being kept in another part of the building. What do you say?" I say calmly to the Pokémon gathered in the room.
Surprisingly, it was the Vulpix I saw protecting the Growlithe that had stepped forward.
"Vul, Vulpix, Vullll!" 'Exclaimed the Vulpix, shooting a spray of fire into the air.
The Vulpix shout seemed to rally the rest of the Pokémon as they stepped forward before telling the younger ones of their line to stay behind them.
The Pokémon in the room consisted of Rapidash, Houndoom, Torkoal, Magby, Magcargo, and, surprisingly, some starter Pokémon: a Cyndaquil, Torchic, and Charmeleon.
The starters were the only ones of their type here.
"Thank you for trusting me. I'll get us out of here, and hopefully get you all back home. As soon as I can, I'll contact the rangers, who can help you with that better than me."
Getting some nods in return, I make my way to the door with my temporary team.
A quick check into the rooms to the left and right of the corridor reveals they were just storage rooms containing empty cages and more electric rods as well as fire-protective clothing. I did manage to take some potions and burn heals that were stocked in there as well.
I used a lot of the potions on the Pokémon, getting some grateful responses in return.
We made our way quietly down the tunnel leading to the opposite end of where we were located. There were 4 doors on this side. Coming up to the first door, I peeked through the window and saw that it was a lounge area with a kitchen set up. There were a few Galactic grunts chatting away.
Before making any moves, I stay low and check the remaining rooms. One was a storage room that held a large stock of food for both people and Pokémon; the next room was an empty office, but I managed to see a phone on the desk, which led me to believe this was the leader's room.
The last room was a large open training area that had a few grunts practising with their own Pokémon or forcing reluctant Pokémon to listen to them, and if they didn't, then they were punished. This was the first room I decided to deal with after gritting my teeth from seeing what the Pokémon had to go through.
"These 2 are the only rooms left with people remaining; we'll start with this one since the ones in there will just think it's training noises if they hear anything. Be careful since some of the Pokémon in here are being forced to train against their will." I say quietly, getting nods in return from all of them.
Using the keycard again, I unlock the door and push in with a rush of Pokémon behind me. Shocked at the sudden intrusion, the grunts fumble their orders as they are dodging the fire moves heading towards them, giving me a chance to stun them as they go down.
With their Pokémon returned, I find the Poké Balls attached to the Pokémon being abused and, to their relief, snap the ball linked to them before healing them all with a potion each.
"Ok, let's go clear the final rooms."
Like with the previous room, the grunts weren't expecting someone to bust into the room, giving us a chance to take them down quickly and put their Poké Balls into stasis mode.
"Good work, everyone. I saw a phone in the last room, so I'll contact the Pokémon Centre since I don't know the number for the rangers. I'll also open the storage room so you can grab some food in case you're hungry, so grab what you can." I let them all know; the younger Pokémon all perked up at the word 'food'.
After opening the storage room, the older Pokémon dragged a few boxes out and ripped open the boxes, spilling food everywhere as they all began eating, while I headed into the office, which required a few Bombarda to break down the door since the keycard I had didn't grant access.
Walking into the room, I take a look around the room and notice I had been followed in by the Vulpix, Growlithe and Cyndaquil, who was riding on Dennis' back.
"Are you not hungry?" I ask them.
Instead of getting a reply, Dennis just started pouring out food from his pouch, which all 4 Pokémon started eating.
Shrugging, I decided to look through the drawers on the desk. I found out the reason they set up a base here: it turns out they had access to the grand underground from this location, which they were using to capture Pokémon from the Volcanic Cave area to expand the teams of their grunts by indoctrinating the Pokémon they had captured to their cause through punishments.
I found it sickening that people could do that to others.
The phone begins ringing through to the Pokémon Centre since it was the only one I had learnt so far.
"Hearthome City Pokemon Centre, Nurse Joy speaking. How may I help you?" Luckily or unluckily for me, Nurse Joy was on duty; she will not be happy that I'm here.
"Hi, Nurse Joy, it's Souta."
"Oh, Souta, what can I help you with?"
"Well..." After a long conversation and some stern words from Nurse Joy, who was just glad that I was safe, she asked me to wait on the line while she went to make a call. When she came back, she said to stay on the line, as Officer Jenny and the rangers would be gathering a group to head to my location by tracking it.
Glad to finally have someone coming to help, I lean down to stroke the belly of the Growlithe who decided to sleep next to my leg, which had me smiling as his leg began kicking in his sleep. Vulpix just cracked an eye open from where she was sleeping close to Growlithe before huffing and going back to sleep.
Thank you for reading the chapter. ^^
Multiple POVs this chapter: we have a few moles in the Yokai faction to deal with and a coup; the other factions are taking notice, and Team Galactic have been up to no good.
If you couldn't already tell, I have plans for Vulpix, Growlithe and Cyndaquill.
If you have any feedback, let me know, and as always, I hope you look forward to the next chapter.
