Chapter 1
Admin Aubrey smiled as watch the group of kids coming out onto Nugget Bridge. She had been watching them for a couple of weeks just battling or messing with the trainers that came by. Sometimes they lost, sometimes they won. They were perfect candidates. Their leader would be pleased to learn they would have five new potential recruits. Potential? She would make them all join no matter what they decided. They all had the ability to further the cause of Team Rocket.
"I know you're a part of Team Rocket." A voice said to her.
"You do?" Aubrey said as she turned and smirked at the boy who confronted her. This boy definitely had guts to do so.
"Yes. I want to join."
"That makes two of us kid."
"I'm not a kid. I'm 17. I can make my own damn decisions." The boy said to the blonde.
"I'm starting to like you kid. What's your name?" she asked.
"Alaric." He answered.
"And what about your little friends?" Aubrey asked as she looked over toward the four other teens at the end of the bridge.
"They want to join too."
"Are you sure about that?" Aubrey asked. Some of them didn't look Team Rocket material. Maybe two of them could be good for Team Rocket, but she wasn't so sure about all of them. One of the girls was dressed rather nicely and kept to herself as she hugged her arms.
"They just need an organization such as yourselves to whip them into shape."
Aubrey smirked. He already knew not to mess with Team Rocket. It was either you join or get stepped on. They already showed Kanto why they should feared controlling two main cities. They had the strongest trainers for admins. They were trained to be the best and not let anyone stand in there way for their cause. If you were missing something in life Team Rocket would provide it for you. Money. Power. Leisure. Fame. Anything in ones' wildest dreams.
"Don't worry. We have the best admins to show you the true meaning of prepare for trouble." Aubrey smiled as she looked upon her new recruits.
"I'm not so sure about this." Rikka said as she followed her friends and the suspicious woman through the halls of the Cerulean City hideout. She had been friends with them about a couple months now. Emilie, the only other girl in the group, introduced them after they met at a function for the newly reopened cycle shop. Neither of the wanted to be there for different reasons and Emilie's lack of social life seemed to have made them friends.
"Grow up Rikka. How do you expect to get anywhere if you don't take chances? Are you always going to do what you're told?" Alaric taunted. Rikka turned away from and boy having nothing to say in return to his comment.
"Like you have room to talk." Truitt said shoving the boy. "You just kicked out of the Pokémon Academy for harassment."
"What can I say?" Alaric shrugged his shoulders. "Pokémon are meant to be used and you're the same as me."
Truitt also shrugged his shoulders. Alaric had him there. He wasn't any better than Alaric or Kaiser. He had been in the police station a few times for black market deals and he admitted some of the people he sold were idiots. They bought empty balls with empty promises. He even got busted for cruelty. He didn't see what was so wrong about hanging Bellsprout by its vines off the bridge. It was considered training. He Alaric said if this Team Rocket thing didn't work out they should go into their own business together. Kaiser was the quiet one he met outside one day when he was being released. He apparently saw what he did and asked how he tricked people into believing that those balls contained legends. Kaiser was in the looking for strong Pokémon and Truitt offered his assistance. They made a perfect trio. One catcher. One trainer. One seller.
"And so are boys." Emilie laughed. "Everything can be used to get anywhere in the world. You just have to know what buttons to push and what to put out. Don't worry Riky we'll get you up to speed."
"You don't have to do that. And it's Rikka." Rikka said uncomfortable how the other girl was holding her.
"Well you can be Riky. And if you're going to survive then I'll happily take you under my wing." Emilie said with a wink as she connected arms with the girl. Rikka tried to pull away but Emilie only pulled tighter.
"You won't have to worry about that." Aubrey said smirking.
"Why not?" Kaiser asked finally speaking up. Aubrey noted he was a quiet one and it was the quiet ones you had to watch out for.
"All recruits are trained under an admin." Aubrey explained.
"That's not you?" Alaric asked.
"No. I just pick 'em." Aubrey answered. "Just like Team Rocket extorts Pokémon, we do the same to you. We use your abilities to our advantage to get what we want. All I do is see the potential." She eyed up each of the children. "Yours are...in the making. Don't worry your young faces, we have an admin that specifically brings out that potential. Prepare for orientation."
Aubrey left the group of five an empty training room or more like battle field. Observing the area the place was well used and recent too. Scorch marks were littered all over the walls and they could still see the remains of rubble on the ground.
Kaiser walked to the wall and touched the scorch marks. He then brought his fingers to his nose and sniffed. He turned toward the others and said, "A strong fire type caused these marks."
"Dude. You're so weird." Alaric said as he turned and looked around. However, as his eyesight passed an area that the lights were knocked out something caught his eye. He stepped closer to get a better look, but stopped upon hearing a growl.
"What was that?" Rikka asked as nervously hid behind the others.
"Gr..." the growl became louder.
"Get out here you useless Pokémon!" Alaric shouted.
"Roa!" The Pokémon shouted and they all gasped as a burst of flames came from the shadows. Alaric and Kaiser dodged out of the way in before they were nothing but ashes.
"Go...Damn it!" Alaric swore as he tried to fight the unknown Pokémon with his own, but remember Team Rocket took them before arriving. He was informed they would be received new Pokémon anyway so he had no use for such weaklings and ones from Team Rocket would at least be in prime condition and form.
"Move!" Kaiser voice called. Alaric looked up and saw a Fire Blast coming down. He moved out of the way as the flames kissed his face. He quickly brushed his face to remove the burning sensation and singeing of his hairs and skin. "Are you alright?"
"Fine lug head." Alaric said as he took the hand to help stand and get back to the others.
The flames died down and a large red and orange Pokémon dropped in front of them. The dog Pokémon growled and barked at them as a flame leaked from its mouth.
"I don't wanna do this anymore..." Rikka said as she hid behind the others.
"Oh please this overgrown mutt can't hurt us." Alaric said taunting the Pokémon.
"Raaa!" the Pokémon roared and charged at them.
A snap broke through the roar and the fire type instantly calmed. Glaring at the teens the Pokémon sat down and looked up toward the balcony where a shadowy figure stood with a hand in the air in the final pose of a snap.
"Arcanine. Stand down." The voice said before the figure step on the edge and jumped down landing behind the Pokémon. Walking to the side of the large dog the Pokémon moved out of the way. She had dark brown hair and black glasses that covered her eyes. Her outfit looked similar yet different to those of the other members of Team Rocket. She had black boots that went up her calf, red pants, and a white jacket with a black shirt underneath. Arcanine moved to her side and made a slight bow to her. Obviously this was Arcanine's master.
"And who the hell are you?" Truitt asked.
"You don't ask questions." She snapped. "But nonetheless I will answer you as it is inevitable. I am in charge of your training. You will be under my supervision until seen fit or pass the final exam."
"Doesn't tell us who you are exactly. We don't know anything about each other." Emilie said.
"Emilie. Age 17. Previous partner was a horribly trained Nidoran. Poor little just needed someone to whip it into shape." The girl said.
"You saying I can't train Pokémon?!" Emilie shouted.
"You're skills are undeveloped and with a temper like that you'll be eaten alive by any trainer with well-trained Pokémon.
"Why you bitch!" Emilie growled and attempted to charge the girl.
"Rao." Arcanine stepped in front of the two and barked. Emilie stopped in her tracks and stared down both trainer and Pokémon.
"I suggest you not try that again or you'll have a one way ticket out of here with nothing more than the clothes on your back. Pft, even if that." She sneered.
Emilie glared at her before looking to see if Arcanine would lower his guard so she could make a move on the girl. Apparently not, but the Pokémon simply had this smug look on his face that appeared to be the same as his trainer. Knowing she'd lost she stepped back and joined the others.
"Fine." Emilie huffed.
"Now that's settled. Why don't we get you adjusted? Any good member has to have a strong Pokémon to back them up or our word means so little. A name can only strike so much fear." She said turned to walk toward the door on the other side of the entrance. Arcanine looked at them for a few seconds longer before swiftly turning to follow the girl.
"I know you don't want questions..." a small voice echoed belonging to Rikka, "but what do we call you?"
The girl stopped as her last step echoed through the arena. She turned to look at the girl and smirked. "Call me Hunter."
