"All I'm saying is, that it's been what, 9 years?" a young man asked.

"For your information, it's been 10 years," a younger girl said. The girl took a drink from her cup and continued to scan a newspaper looking for something to catch her attention.

"Fine. 10 years. You haven't found him yet. And as unfortunate as this may sound, you may never find him," the man said.

"Leave her be Adam," another girl said. "She's been looking this long, she isn't going to quit just yet."

"But Megan, her search has lead her nowhere," Adam said. "Mom and Dad are expecting you to eventually marry. Even if they have to force you into marriage. So, you need to stop searching for him, and find someone soon that you can live with before they find someone that you won't stand for, Leta."

Leta took another drink from her cup. "I'm not going home until I find him. And since I'm not going home anytime soon, I don't have to worry about them forcing me into a marriage." She turned the page of the newspaper and saw a huge 'R' in the middle of the page. That's their sign! She read the article beside the letter and gasped.

"What?" both Adam and Megan asked.

Leta started to read from the article. "A cloaked Neo Team Rocket member has been spotted in the Eterna Forest area! Witnesses claim that the cloaked figure was training his Eevee around a huge moss covered rock. After defeating a rookie trainer, the Eevee evolved into a Leafeon. Satisfied, the cloaked figure left the forest and wasn't able to be followed." She looked back up her brother with a gleam in her eye. "And you said I'd never find him."

"How do you know that's actually him?" Adam asked, skeptically.

Leta turned the article to show Adam. There were several pictures on the page of the article. One picture showed the cloaked figure behind an Eevee while battling. Another showed the figure with a newly evolved Leafeon. And a third photo got a real close up of the figure. Although the face was hidden by the cloak, it wasn't the face that Leta pointed to. "I gave that pendant to Chase as a Christmas present 10 years ago. Is that plenty proof for you?"

"I do have to say," Megan said, "that is pretty coincidental. It might actually be him"

"Now, where is this Eterna Forest?" Leta looked around for a local. "Excuse me sir," she asked a man walking by, "would you know how to get to Eterna Forest?"

"Sure would. It is just west of Eterna City," the man said.

Leta tuned back to the table that she was sharing with Adam and his wife. She pulled a map out of her back pack and opened it up. "Let's see. We're here in Sunyshore. And Eterna is all the way over there." She jumped up and put the map back in her bag. "This is the first hopeful lead I've had all these years!" she said excitedly. "I hate to eat and run, but I got to go! BYE!" she yelled as she put on Chase's old cowboy hat and ran off.

"She didn't even leave any money to cover her meal," Adam moaned as he looked in his wallet. He realized that he didn't have enough money to cover for all of them. As he pulled out his credit card, he mumbled, "She sure is costing me a lot."

"Don't worry about her," Megan said. "If that truly was Chase, then her search should be over here soon. Then your Mom and Dad can finally relax about her."

"I hope so," Adam said, as he handed his card to the waiter.

A cloaked figure walked into a building just outside of Veilstone City. As he pulled up a chair to a table, a newspaper was slammed in front of him. On the opened page was a huge 'R'. "I see they got my good side," the figure chuckled.

"This is no laughing matter Chase. We are under cover until Mother and Father tell us to start with the plan. And how can we be undercover if you go out and get caught?" a masked figure asked Chase.

Chase read the article. "Well, the good news is that they didn't get a chance to catch me. And they don't know where we are hiding. So, I don't see the problem."

"The problem is..." the masked figure started, but was interrupted by a phone ringing. The only people who knew the number to that phone were Mother, Father, and Master.

"Well, go ahead. Answer the phone," Chase said laughing.

The masked figure picked up the phone and answered the call. Mask didn't even have a chance to say 'hi' when a voice yelled out.

"PUT HIM ON THE LINE NOW!" the voice growled.

Chase grabbed the phone from the masked figure. "Yello!"

On the other end, a voice growled lowly. "What do you think you are doing? Are you trying to get our cover blown this early in the operation?"

Chase got agitated. "First of all, I follow my own rules. I do your bidding all because you are paying me. But when I'm not doing a job, I will do what I want, when I want. And what I did was for me. I will finish my personal agenda. Secondly, all they say was that a NTR member was spotted. They didn't even say that they feared an operation was going on here."

"Remember kid, I am your master. You will do what I want you to do," Master growled. Then he slammed the phone down.

"That's what I was worried about Chase," the masked figure said.

Chase starred at the phone for a while. Who does he think he is? He may be my Master, but he can't tell me what to do in my off time. But he knows he can't get rid of me. No. I may cause him some trouble here and there, but I get the job done. And we come out with way more than usually expected. "Mother and Father trust me, why can't he?" he asked the masked figure.

"He's the leader, he has to be picky about who can trust. Heck, I think Mother and Father are the only ones he really trusts. So, while we wait for his next command, what should we do?" the masked figure asked.

"Anything but try to figure out my past. No one knows anything beyond 10 years ago. So don't even try," Chase said, as he leaned his body up against the wall, pulling out the pendant that hung around his neck, looking out the window. Why can't I remember anything beyond then? But then again, why do I have this urge to find more Eevees? He starred at the pendant. WHY CAN'T I REMEMBER?!

Master slammed the phone down on the desk. That kid is testing my nerves. But I cant get rid of him. He is one of my best agents in the field. The best. But he needs to learn to keep his cover!

"Well, at least no one found out his identity," Mother said.

Father was starring at the photos. "True, his face is pretty well covered. But that pendant in the picture," he said pointing to the pendant, "might be recognized by someone if it was of any importance."

"Keep an eye on him," Master growled. "He may be your son, but I will cut him loose if he causes me any trouble. Leave."

After leaving Master's office, Father said, "Chase needs to settle down for a while."

"I agree," Mother said. "Perhaps he can do his own thing while not wearing that cloak. So that no one will recognize us."

"Good idea. Call him and let them know," Father said.

Okay, the ten years have passed. And now Chase is working for NTR! WHAT'S GOING ON HERE?! I know! You need to read to find out!
