''I remember it like it was yesterday…do you?''
It was a cool night in the streets of saffron city. A young man was walking down the street speaking to what seemed like himself. The wind was blowing gently through his long black hair, the air smelled so sweet if he would have cared to even smell it.
''…''
No I know you do I just want you to remember the feeling again. It's so easy to let that feeling slip, only its memory lingering around.
The boy spoke again while people around him passing by glanced at him as if he was insane. A sudden gust blew through his hair.
''…no we can't just walk around these parts willy nilly, she could sense us if we get to close. Hell, she might know were here now.''
''Oh is that so? You can tell she doesn't know were here, well you cease to amaze even me. Heaven help us if we alert the great gym leader Sabrina to our presence…
You know I don't fear her but this needs to go off without a hitch for a while if this is gonna work and if the elite four gets involved then you know who will to...''
''What? The contact, yeah he is trusty enough. I didn't go through the trouble of making this much money just to be swindled.''
''He'll be here soon.'' The boy looked at the suitcase he was carrying. He reached into his coat pocket and snagged a candy bar. Chewing it fondly.
'' You want some or have you munched enough of my thoughts. You know that gets annoying when I actually have a good dream.''
''I know you don't mean to but you should really try new things like we used…'' just then he spotted an old newspaper on the ground being tugged by the wind. He picked it up. He read as he chewed his snack.
'' Yesterday, huh?'' 'After the pokemon battle contest prize of a valuable moon stone was swiped by what appeared to be team rocket members the police have officially recognized the crime syndicates fool return as stated by the tape recording sent in to the police head quarters months ago that was thought to be a hoax, the stolen moon stone is considered to have been stolen by rocket members to-' blah blah those punks probably just want to use it to make a cheap copy so they can sell them to none the wiser trainers…but that means-''
''Hey you the contact?''
The boy looked to his side to see a portly man who looked to be in his late forties walking up to him. It seemed like the portly man had been running as he was sweating a bit.
''Depends..on the password.'' The man looked to be thinking back to himself.''…its uhhh…Pidgeot! Yeah that's it.'' The boy sighed.
''For a man so desperate for money I would think you would fully memorize that.'' The man just chuckled and scratched his head.
''Not for nothing but you mind if I count the money first?'' the young boy lowered his eyelids thinking.
''I don't see why not.'' The man slowly walked over to the young man as he handed him the brief man set the case on the ground, opened it and counted the money with glee.
''It's all here, so I just follow the note and that's all?'' the young boy nodded. The man lowered his head and looked back to the boy.''Hey how do you know I will keep my word? I mean your handing me money to do this and I'm grateful because I really want to take good care my family and the factory is cutting back so I need the money and yet you have no way of securing this.'' said the man as he grabbed the suitcase. The young boy tilted his head seeming to be in thought.
''Honestly you seem like a very nice man, truly you do but I do have a a way to do just that.'' The boy said motioning his pointer finger behind the man. He quickly turned around to see a large purple head with blue flames around it baring black piercing eyes. The man gasped as the creature opened its mouth wide with sharp teeth being revealed grabbing onto his head.
''AHHHHH! HELP ME !'' He screamed loudly but no noise could be heard.
''It would be best if you stop fighting it.'' The boy said as he saw the man run helplessly in circle like a confused pup. He fell to his knee and held his hands on his head until he suddenly fell into a sleep-like state with lowered glazed eyes, suddenly just dropping his hands down.
''He had good will power.'' the boy admitted. A few moments passed when the man stood and awoke out of his stupor and looked at the boy.
''Well then thanks again kid really.'' The boy smiled.
''No worry I hope you and your family do well.'' And they parted ways. The boy smiled cruelly.'' Did you do it?''
''Good, and he doesn't remember anything?''
''Great. So the hypnosis will make sure he does his job good. Oh and by the way, did he really mean to do his job or was he gonna cause trouble?''
''Ah good then things are working out, soon I will finally have team rocket right where I want them, with them crying out their final countdown.''The boy and the Gastly laughed while walking down the street heading toward the city where they planned to take the train.
