Sting led Ivy to a dumpster. "He should be around here..." he knocked on the dumpster, and Esh jumped out. "Speak quickly." Sting gestured to Ivy, who was behind him. "This girl attacked Shade. I told him I'd get her to talk, but... I don't exactly know how..." Ivy smirked. "Knew it!" The three legged Silvally smiled and his crest and tail fin turned red as he used his fire memory. "Let me at 'er." Ivy growled. "Come at me, threelegs." Esh pounced on the Sceptile, and suddenly Pokémon filled the alleyway, watching. Ivy smirked. "Ooh, tough guy. Do your worst, I'll never talk." The Silvally's claws were engulfed in flames. "I don't care if you talk. Killing you is the top priority." He dug his claws in, his eyes burning red. Ivy looked into the Silvally's eyes. "Kill me? Heh... if you do, you lose your quickest route to your missing friend, and I don't mean Slasher. That is, if you can get me to talk." Esh stopped and looked at her he was silent for a few seconds before speaking. "I know where Team Plasma is... I don't need any more information." Ivy chuckles a little. "Then kill me. It won't make a difference either way. But would you please at least be honorable and free my arms so we can have a real fight?" Sting looked at the two, worried. Esh growled. "Honor? No. I don't do honor. I was never given honor." His eyes narrowed. "Your blade... reminds me of Aria's sister." He slashed his claws across Ivy's face, leaving three perfect cuts with burn marks. The Sceptile winced, and closed her eyes. Sting panicked. He did the only thing he could do. He used haze, covering the area in a thick black smoke. In the confusion he grabbed Ivy and ran. "Okay, that failed." Ivy was coughing. "You think!?" They turned a corner where the haze didn't spread to, and stopped. "That was close... I honestly didn't know he'd react like that." Ivy rolled her eyes. "Some interrogator you are." They heard footsteps, and Sting turned and saw the Krokorok from before giving chase. "Uh oh... look, I don't want any trouble." He put himself between Ivy and the Krokorok. The Krokorok sighed. "There were nicer options, ya know? Now Plague might not help you..." Sting spread his arms. "I can't have him killing this girl. She... might be our closest lead to Aria and Slasher." Ivy smiled and said with a sarcastic tone, "Aw, you do care." The Krokorok sighs. "Fine, but I'm still reporting this to Plague." With that, he walks away. Sting and Ivy look at each other. Ivy tilts her head. "Wait for Shade?" Sting nods. "Let's try and last."
