As Jon said the trainers name, Dylan and Abbee both recognized it from the briefing he gave the pair of them before they joined his squad...

"Remember during your first summer here, when I talked about the responsibility of being a trainer?" Jon asked the pair.

"Vaguely." Abbee said, "That was three years ago, and a lot happened since..."

"Yeah, you talked about how the more powerful a Pokemon is the more the trainer needs to be responsible in their training and behavior." Dylan explained, Abbee shocked he remembered that after all these years.

"You also remember the story I told you, about the trainer with Jirachi the Wishmaker, that was allowing it to be out of its Pokeball from day one, when it's trainer had no way of knowing it was safe to be around people, and how within two days it had used it's abilities to affect people without it's trainers orders or their consent, one of the people nearly being Alyssa..."

Abbee knew where Jon was going with this. It was the end of that summer at the Eon Academy where she met and bonded with Victini who had been her partner since, a year after he parted ways with his previous partner, Cassandra Silvers. Victini had filled her in on the circumstances surrounding that story.

"That trainer was a league operative I worked with on the S.S. Wishmaker called Jimmy Kendo. The reason I tell you this is because I saw his name on the operative list for this mission. Unless something changes between now and then, or he requests a transfer, he hasn't been placed in my squad so you probably won't be working with him directly, but may meet him." Jon explained, "Last time I saw him, I made it clear he needed to get his act together as Jirachi's trainer, and that I would be willing to help how I can but he needs to put in the work. I never did hear from him after that, and neither him or Jirachi have been detained so that's slightly comforting that Jirachi may be better trained. But I am telling you this, so you know to be careful around him, since Jirachi is usually not far away, and until we see with our own eyes that Jirachi is safe, it is to be considered dangerous..."

Jimmy then began referring to a lot happening in he last four years with a little troublemaker, however Jon's somewhat cold expression didn't shift, as Jimmy explained being informed of the situation.

"Well consider this your chance to show Jirachi's progress. Actions speak louder than words in situations like this." Jon said as Cassandra informed him of the need to get back.

"I have a few things I want to discuss on the way, so I will take you back in." Jon said, handing Cassandra one of the helmets, qiickly flicking the switch, powering the Bluetooth microphone and speaker so they could still talk whilst riding back, as he turned to Jimmy.

"I command Eon Squad who made this discovery and one of the rules we have is that intel doesn't leave the squad unless it's via me. The league don't have a good history of containing leaks." Jon explained, "I have ideas on how to respond to this, but they only work if we keep this information on a need to know basis, so I need you to not tell a soul about what you heard here today. I will let your COs know, but want this kept secret for now..."

"I'll see you around, Cuddles." Jon said, before putting on his own helmet and starting the bike. Before he climbed on Dylan walked over, his voice difficult to hear over the sound of the engine.

"Are you going to look into the name?" Dylan asked.

"At some point but I agree, it's probably a red herring, if anything, so I will be dealing with other things first." Jon explained.

"Then can I be reassigned?" Dylan asked, "I think there is more to this than we are giving credit for, and want to make sure it isn't something big before too much time has passed."

Jon thought over Dylan's request for a second.

"Fine, both you and Abbee are reassigned." Jon said, "But I don't want you getting too close. If this woman you saw is Brianna Levine and you get too close it could tip her off since she saw you here. Abbee hasn't been seen in her human form so she is probsbly best to be in the field for this. Let me know if you need anything. CCTV access or anything."

Dylan nodded as Jon climbed on to the bike. Once Cassandra was ready, they departed heading back to the hospital.

As they rode back, Jon spoke o Cassandra via the Bluetooth helmets.

"The people who you have treated so far, if the hexes they were affected by were hybrids like this one, where they are now eyes for the targets, would your treatment have cleared that too? Or is it likely that it could have slipped by if you didn't know to look for it?" Jon asked, "If we can't say for sure that they are not compromised, I will need a list of names of all the people you three have treated..."

"I have the beginnings of an idea... But it means not treating these people for this hidden hex." Jon explained, "I think we are pretty safe in saying our targets don't know that we are aware of them being able to spy on us, and if we treat them, that gives away that we do. I will talk to Steven and Cynthia, but I think that we leave this connection as is, give them false information, and use it to lay a trap for whoever is on the other end, or maybe even see if you three can figure out a way to tap into it, and see what comes out the other end..."

"If we go ahead with this I will make sure they are all transferred into roles that are safe for prying eyes to see." Jon said as they rode into Heahea City, "But what do you think?"
