Max pointed at the building and shook his head "That's all Ash and his Pikachu"

The servant looked at Max and smiled "Seriously that kid just started and look at what he's done. I didn't think that a Pikachu could do this kind of damage though."

"There was another pokémon, a Koffing that belonged to some pokémon thieves, it was spraying some sort of gas and the electricity from Pikachu ended up igniting it."

Lance nodded and looked at the building again "So do we put a stop to them?

"No they seemed to have gotten interested in Ash's Pikachu for now let them be, I'm sure they will help him develop his skills. Right now I want to discuss something else, but let's do it in some other place."

The servant nodded and grabbed hold of Max's arm and they teleported to the river where Misty had dragged him from. He brought out two Fishing Poles and two sodas, and they laid down comfortably.

"I gotta say Max if things will be as comfortable as this then I'm going to enjoy this trip."

Max smiled "Mhmm so at the moment there's something that we lack and that is Cash, I've been thinking of a few different ways that we can make some but I want to develop something that's a bit more secure."

Lance sat up and looked at Max with interest "In the end, I simplified it into 3 different steps. The first one is to find rich and crooked people and dig into their secrets. We blackmail them and make some good money that we use and build a company. At first, I was thinking of making phones but that might be too big of a change for the moment. I decided that having an Amazon sort of company might be pretty nice."

The servant looked at him confused "Amazon?"

"It's a service that makes it easy for people to buy things online, they form contracts with other companies and deliver whatever the client buys."

Lance nodded but he still didn't seem convinced "You sure that's enough?"

Max laughed "Well even if it's a bit different people still have computers, we also have pokémon that can bring the things to their house with someone that we pay to make sure that everything is delivered correctly."

Lance sighed and scratched his head "So you wanna end up like that one dude, batman, a rich dude in the day and a vigilante by night haha."

Max punched him "Shut up Lance, there's still a long way before everything is put in place. For now, what I want you to do is find some people that we can blackmail. I'll travel with Ash for about 4 more days before I come back. Oh and there….."

Suddenly he felt something pulling his Fishing Pole, he used all of his strength and yanked on it bringing out a Magikarp. He threw a pokéball at the fish but it used it's tail and hit back at him. He caught the pokéball that was about to hit his face and brought out Charmander.

Even if the Magikarp was a water type he figured that Charmander wasn't going to have much of a hard time with a pokémon that only had 3 attacks; Tackle, Splash, and Flail. He pointed at the fish "Charmander use bite and scratch on Magikarp."

"CHAR, CHAR"

Charmander charged at the fish pokémon, the Magikarp didn't simply stay there doing nothing but instead, it tried using tackle but it was caught by Charmander and then bitten over and over. The fire-lizard would score in a few scratches every now and then as it clamped it down with his teeth.

After the minute-long 'battle' Max ordered Charmander to release Magikarp. The poor fish was totally scratched and bloody, he quickly threw the pokéball. The Magikarp disappeared and went into the pokéball which began rolling around flashing red.

Then it stopped and the pokéball stayed still, he smiled and quickly brought the Magikarp out and began to heal it. After a few minutes, it was completely recovered and Max patted it a few times "Welcome to the team" then he called it back and laid down again.

Lance gave him a thumbs up "Nice kid that's your first catch right?"

Max nodded "Yeah it is, now back to what I was going to tell you. You know how I like to battle with Zweilous all the time?

The blue-haired servant nodded "Yeah you and your father seriously have a problem. I'm amazed that Zweilous hasn't completely evolved."

He laughed while petting Charmander who was sitting next to him "Well there was a reason behind it, you see when God gave me the summoning system he allowed me to summon a new Servant every 100 battles that I win. During the 5 years, I was battling over and over again so that I could get us some help if we ever needed one and the thing is that at the moment I have 107 battles that I haven't cashed in.

Lance who had been listening carefully nodded and stood up "Well then I think that we should get it over with now."

Max looked at him with a raised brow "What happened with you being worried about me getting new servants since they might not behave."

"Well that was before and the sooner that we can introduce the servant into this world the more help we may be able to get whenever we need it. You said that you would be gone for the next 4 days or something right? That gives me enough time to judge the new servant as I fill them in on what's going on. I could always use the extra help with the info gathering info and evidence to blackmail so yeah let's get it over with now."

Max still wasn't sure but he sighed and nodded "Then let's go back to the cave and see who we end up meeting.

The servant nodded and after putting everything back in Max's storage he grabbed his arm once again and together they teleported back to where everything began, the cave where Lancer was summoned.

Lance looked around and took a deep breath "This thing brings back so many memories"

Max nodded "Sure does, now let's begin."

[Summoning...3....2...…..1]

The same light that had appeared when Lance was summoned appeared once more blinding both Max and Lancer.

When it disappeared the figure of a young woman kneeling remained.

She stood up and glanced at Max before looking at Lancer "I'm at your service Master"

Max and Lance looked at each other and burst into laughter. The blue-haired servant brought out his spear and pointed at Max "Our master is that brat over there haha."

He couldn't see the facial reaction of the purple-haired girl since she had a skeleton mask on but she immediately kneeled "I'm sorry for my ignorance."

He turned towards Lance confused and then walked closer to the girl "Don't worry about it, that big idiot also made the same mistake."

Lance acted as if he were offended "Kid you don't get to call me idiot, what did you expect me to think when there was a 5-year-old half your size claiming to be my master."

Max smiled at the spear servant and turned back to the girl who was just summoned, he wasn't familiar with her so he could only assume that she appeared in some other season of the fate series. He looked at his system board and found that her name was Serenity Hassan.

The closer he got to her the more he became convinced that her skin had an odd coloration. When he was right in front of her he finally confirmed it, at first he thought it was because of the shadows in the cave but no, Serenity's skin was actually grey. He was about to touch her hand to lift her up but she literally jumped back.

He stopped and looked at her "Sorry about that I just wanted you to stop kneeling."

Serenity shook her head "That's not why master, it's just that if you touch my body you will be poisoned."

That got Max to get even more curious about the girl "Do you think that you can control it?"

She shook her head "No, It's been my curse since as far back as I can remember."

Lancer walked next to Max and sighed "This is going to be a serious problem, if she can't control it then she might end up poisoning us. She also won't be able to have any pokémon because if she ever ends up touching them they will die."

Max was listening and nodded, he walked closer to her "I'm going to touch you and I don't want you to move okay?"

The girl hesitated but nodded in the end. He walked up to her and took her mask off revealing her face, she had purple eyes that were the same shade as her hair. Max held her hand as he looked into her eyes. She had tears coming from them and he wiped them away "There's no need to cry I won't do anything bad to you."

She shook her head "That's not why I'm crying it's just that after a long time you're the first person that had looked at me with such kindness and yet I ended up killing you."

Max hugged her and whispered into her ear "Don't worry I'm not going anywhere, I'll explain it to you later on."

He released her and looked at Lance "You and I will have to make a quick pitstop and catch two people that have misbehaved."

Lance seemed confused at first but then he put the puzzle together and gave an evil grin "Well it seems like I did my homework ahead of time hehe. You only wanted two right?"

Max didn't understand where exactly the servant was going but he nodded "Yeah that's right"

With spear in hand, he walked out of the cave and after around 2 minutes he walked back holding 2 unconscious men. "I got these 2 on my last visit, I figured that since you were going to start your whole cleaning the trash thing you would actually need to start getting to know the feeling of killing someone. There's another one with your name on it after this."

Max looked at the servant and sighed "Dude you really gotta stop talking to me like killing is something normal, I don't want to develop a bad habit."

Lance shrugged "Well it is going to become normal that is what we trained for after all."

Max looked back at the girl and noticed that he hadn't stopped holding her hand, he released it and noticed that she seemed to get disappointed. He knew the reason why, it was probably the first time she had touched someone without killing them.

He looked at her and tried to find a good way of explaining what he was thinking "Listen after all this I'll explain further but the important thing to know is that my body is immune to any type of poison. I have a theory. The thing is that I have no idea if it will work but if it does you might end up losing your poison for good, is that okay with you?"

She immediately nodded and began crying "Please even if it's a small chance I don't care what I have to do just get rid of this curse."

He patted her head "Remember I don't know if it's going to work"

Max brought out a knife and cut himself "This is going to sound weird and disgusting but it's worth a try, drink some of my blood. Its properties might help keep your poison in check."

Without thinking about twice she grabbed his head directly above her mouth and began to drink the falling drops. He took his hand back and began healing it "Let's wait for 5 minutes to see if it has any effects"

As they waited the atmosphere became tenser and tenser after an estimated 5 minutes they stood up, he looked at her and asked: "Do you feel any different?"

She shook her head, showing a sad face. Max grabbed her hand and took her to one of the men and let her touch his face. After a few seconds nothing happened. He saw tears filling her eyes as they dropped on the man's face.

He sighed and patted her shoulder "I'm sorry I got your hopes up, I actually thought that it might work."

She quickly turned around and hugged him "Thank you so much, I will happily serve you in any way that I can."

He looked at Lance in confusion as the servant walked to the man and felt his pulse "Looks like you did it brat, the man is alive."

Max began to laugh and pat the girl's back, after she calmed down they separated. He looked at her and then pointed at the other man "I know that I might sound like an a.s.s for saying this but try to see if you can poison him."

He expected her to hesitate but with a simple nod, she walked over to the man and touched his face. After 4 tries she succeeded and the man began to spew blood from all holes in his body. She turned and looked at him with a smile "Master I can finally control my poison unless I will myself to poison someone they won't be poisoned."

He nodded "That's good but don't call me master. Call me Max."

She nodded and smiled.

'Umm not to ruin this moment or anything, I'm glad that she won't poison us and all that, which is important but am I the only one that notices that she has grey skin. I know that the people of this world are pretty open about color but grey is going to be hard to pull off."

Serenity smiled and suddenly her skin began to gain color, she ended up having the same shade of tan as Max. She looked at the two surprised men and giggled "I wouldn't be much of an assassin if I couldn't do this much hehe."

They both nodded and looked at the dead man who was laying down "Max can you take the poison out of him?"

He nodded and began to heal the poison out of the man. When he was finished Lance drew a rune and set the body on fire and looked at Max "Now we don't have to worry about making the poison airborne."

"When are you going to teach me that?"

The servant smiled and shrugged "Dunno maybe when you beat me once in a sparring session."

They waited until there was nothing left of the man and he began walking away with Serenity behind him. Max suddenly felt someone grab the back of his shirt and then he heard the voice of the man who had tortured him for 5 years "Where do you think you're going kid? You still have 2 people that you have to help reach the afterlife."
