10Rage of the vixen.

Chapter 1

"Okay girl you know the drill, get in, get out safely." I told the zoroark sitting beside me.

She nodded and listened on quietly.

"We get in, save the Pokemon inside, and regroup when we finish. If things start to mess up, get out of here fast." I told her.

"What about-" she asked sternly.

"I'll be fine, don't worry about me, be safe alright." I told her, patting her on the head and getting up slowly.

Our job was to break into a experimental lab owned by an evil corporation who stole Pokemon and did unjust experiments on them to use them as weapon.

~Flashback to two weeks before~

"I'm going check the mail girl!" I yelled to the zoroark spread out on the couch, she made a small grunt of acknowledgement and went back to dozing off.

"Lazy bum." I said to myself as I walked outside and towards my mailbox near the street.

I greeted my neighbor as I walked down the driveway until I reached the mailbox at the end of the road. I looked inside and saw a wrapped envelope.

"Heh been a while since I got one of these, wonder what it is now?" I thought.

Usually these meant I had a mission. I am a hired mercenary for the government, they send me an envelope with the mission details and I did the job for pay. Usually it was hijack, rescue, or sabotage missions. I was highly renown for being a high ranked merc, me and my zoroark, Angela, would do the jobs. We were highly renown because our success rate of 95%, Angela would disguise herself as whatever she needed to be to infiltrate the enemy compound so I could get in next.

"Angela, we've got a new assignment!" I said into the house as I walked back inside and into the living room where she slept.

Her ears perked up and she got up lazily, stretched and walked over to see.

"Hmm, sabotage and rescue mission." I said as I read the envelope aloud.

"You are to infiltrate the compound owned by The alpha association, get inside and release all the experimented Pokemon. It doesn't matter if you get noticed, just get it done, this is a mandatory assignment. Please no foul ups, we don't want to get rid of you agent falcon." The note said.

"Are you sure we should do this one? I don't have a good feeling about it." Angela said worriedly.

"Don't worry girl, nothing will go wrong, it's just the same as always." I told her as I rubbed her chin and caressed her head, making her purr lightly.

"I still have a bad feeling about it though." She said again.

"I said don't worry about it, everything will be okay." I said as I grabbed her head lightly and touched her forehead on mine, looking deeply into her crystal blue eyes.

"It will be fine, we got this." I told her as I let go of her and walked to my kitchen.

I reached underneath the counter and pressed a small button that opened up a small compartment that led down into my basement. A tile moved out from the counter and revealed a small opening with a ladder that led down.

"I'm going get my equipment, prepare for prep in two and a half hours, okay?" I told her cooly, she nodded lightly and looked out the window as I climbed down the ladder.

(Angela)

"I don't like the feel of this, I don't want him to get hurt." I said to myself worriedly.

I looked out the window at the pidgeys that hung on the telephone wires and did their usual bird routine. They were doing what they usually did, me, I'm not so sure. I'm pretty sure I'm very different from most zoroarks, living with a human, being a mercenary. Living alongside one of the most renown mercenaries in the world made it to were I was also well known, I was called the "vixen of Salem" because of my ability to change my form into whatever I wanted with an illusion. It's considered "dark magic" and witches had a lot to do with that sort of stuff so it seemed fitting.

"A maiden like me shouldn't have to deal with these kind of things." I said solemnly with a giggle.

"That damn idiot is gonna get hurt one day and he will have to retire, I'll have to take care of him." I said with a sigh.

"Why does he expect me to get ready for? I don't even bring anything with me." I said to myself as I walked into his bedroom lazily.

I did bring one unimportant thing with me, it was a small plush of a Zorua that I liked to carry in my mane. He didn't know that I did that, he had given it to me when I was just a Zorua.

He used to tell me "this is for when you feel lonely." He told me that it was my sibling because I always longed for a brother or sister but I never knew if I had one. My mother had died when I was just a kit, I didn't know if I had other siblings or not. I grabbed the small plush from under his bed and blew the dust off of it and put it in my mane, the way it stayed there made it look like a Zorua pup laying in its mother's mane and sleeping.

"You ready yet girl?" Rick said as he walked into the room.

"Ahh! Nothing! Just playing with my mane." I said nervously, I didn't want him to know that I was still attached to that doll.

"Ok? I can groom it if you want." He said cooly.

"Really? I would like that." I told him happily as he walked into his bathroom and went to grab a brush.

Even if he was a big bad mercenary, he was a sweetheart to me, it was really funny seeing the drastic attitude change.

I pulled the doll out and hid it back under the bed and waited for Rick to come back. He walked back in with a grooming comb and sat beside me in the bed.

"You're lucky I love you cause this is a lot of hard work grooming this." He said with a sigh as he ran the comb through my mane slowly and gently.

"You're lucky I'm around, without me you wouldn't be as famous as you are." I told him smugly.

"Whatever." He said quietly.

Within an hour he had gotten tired and fell asleep laying on my new well groomed mane.

"Just sleep for now we've got a lot to do later." I said as I laid down and let him rest peacefully.

~back to present time~

(Rick)

"So you go in and disguise yourself as a scientist for their group, get to the security system and cut it off so I can get inside, after that we both release as many of the Pokemon as possible and then get out." I told Angela as I held up a sign of a captured worker so she could disguise herself as him.

She stepped back and disappeared in a cloud of black smoke and reappeared as the same man with the outfit and everything.

"I don't know what I would do without you." I told her, she giggled and walked to the entrance slowly and carefully.

There was a eye scanner at the doorway and she looked into, the door opened and she walked inside and it closed behind her loudly.

"Ok tell me when you're done." I told her through the microphone headset on each of our ears.

Within 15 minutes I got her reply that all the alarms were off and all the security systems were shutdown, the doors slowly slid open and I was able they get inside.

"Okay, is everything alright on your end?" I said into the mic.

I waited for a response, none, I waited longer.

"Is everything okay?" I asked, no response.

My body froze in place. Did something happen? Was she okay?
