In Viridian City, Giovanni was reading up on a bunch of reports. He frowned as he petted his Persian's head.
While this Warlord vacancy does sound intriguing, it requires me to capture that boy or his friends. And with Cynthia forcing the Navy to recant their bounties and cease their search, that is a big no-no. Ketchum is well-connected, so going after them directly would be an extremely foolish and costly move. Giovanni brooded. Suddenly, his eyes grew wide.
Wait a second! What if Uta and the Straw Hats aren't the only ones who showed up here?! he mused. Giovanni smiled wickedly and snapped his fingers.
What if there are others?! he thought. Giovanni picked up the phone receiver and dialed in a number before holding it in his ear.
He waited until he heard a cold woman's voice say, "Yes, Giovanni?"
"Quick question, ma'am. Are there other people besides Uta and the Straw Hat crew in this dimension?" Giovanni asked.
"Yes, there are. But I don't suggest going after most of them. Reports say Cutty Flam, also known as Franky, lost a Rhyhorn Race to Ketchum. So if we capture him, that brat will more than likely be on our trail. 'Demon Child' Nico Robin has always eluded us, so CP9 is undertaking that mission to apprehend her. That's how dangerous she is. And Charlotte Pudding is the daughter of Big Mom. So if we get her, we risk going to war with an Emperor of the Sea." the woman answered. Giovanni hummed in understanding.
"Are there any others besides those three?" he inquired.
"...There is one other person: Princess Vivi." the woman responded after thinking on it. Giovanni's eyebrow rose in intrigue.
"A princess, eh? Any connection to Ketchum or the Straw Hats?" he queried.
"No, there isn't." the woman confirmed. Giovanni grinned at that.
"Perfect. Leave getting her to me." he declared.
"...Then I'll fax her picture over to you. Also, word of advice: Search the desert area in Kalos." the woman replied.
"Yes, ma'am. Giovanni out." Giovanni stated before hanging up. Soon, he had the picture in his hand.
Oh? Never seen a duck like this before. Giovanni mused. He once again grabbed the phone receiver and made a call.
"...Yes, sir!" Cassidy exclaimed one ring later.
"Cassidy, I want you three to search the desert area for a young woman." Giovanni ordered her.
He described the woman and her companion while adding, "She is very important to our cause. Don't screw this up."
"Yes, sir!" came Cassidy's instant response as she hung up. Above Lumiose City, she, Butch, and Vicious stood in a hot air balloon that resembled the head of a certain Pokemon.
"We have a new, very important mission from the boss. Search the desert area for a certain woman." Cassidy confirmed. Once she relayed the description to the men, Vicious looked intrigued.
"Oh? She sounds like royalty." he stated.
"...If she's royal, then that means..." Butch started.
"...capturing her will potentially help us take over Kalos!" Cassidy finished, sounding excited.
"Precisely. Let's go to the desert then." Vicious concurred. And with that, the trio flew northwest to the Lumiose Badlands. Soon, they arrived and began looking around with their binoculars.
"...Hm, if I was a princess hiding in a desert, where would I be?" Cassidy wondered out loud.
"...Well, she'd need water to survive. So...an oasis?" Butch guessed. Cassidy nodded as they looked for an oasis. Soon, they found one...and near it, a young woman of medium height alongside a duck. She had chin-length wavy light-blue hair, with two locks hanging down, one on either side of her head, which she tied into a very high-positioned ponytail, and brown eyes and was wearing a shirt with dark blue and white circles, shorts fastened with a belt, a white coat, and white high-heeled boots. And the tall duck had yellow-brown plumage with black-tipped wings and tailfeathers, a black band around his bill, and tetradactyl feet with ostrich-like talons and wore a usually unbuckled blue-and-white chullo, pink goggles, a large saddle carrying multiple saddlebags, and a barrel-sized canteen around his neck complete with drinking straw.
