Celadon City: Rocket Base Of Operations
"A Kirlia and a Rockruff…?"
The voice came out from the shadows before an injured man. He wore a trench coat and a flat cap with a shirt portraying a red 'R'. On both sides of the man, men in all black jumpsuits stood in an orderly line with a red R proudly won across their chess.
"Yes, sir… They took us all out before we could do anything… We also saw the Kirlia take out Vincent's pokémon without a scratch. A few people even heard the Kirlia talk using telepathy."
"Vincent…? The one who is supposedly the strongest of the lesser battle district? Hmm…" The light flickered to reveal a large desk with the silhouette of a man. Next to him loomed a towering crimson figure.
"And you failed to capture them… Eike!"
A figure was produced from the shadows. He had spiky hair black hair and black jeans with a teeshirt that held the signature red R. "Yes, sir!"
"Make the capture of these two pokémon a secondary priority."
"Of course, sir." A glint appeared in Eike's eyes as he smiled. "It will be done."
After Eike had vanished from view, the man from the darkness spoke once again. "Your failure is not something that we appreciate here at this organization."
A large thud resonated from next to the voice. "You have already failed us enough times. I think it's time that we reconsider our relations with you."
The man began to sweat profusely. "But, sir… I– there was nothing we could do!"
"Nevertheless, you have still not complied with what I have asked of you. It was all too simple. And you even endangered our operation. The government now knows that we are here. Who else am I to blame? I believe that this is the best decision."
"Please, sir… I can do better! Please!"
"Krookodile…" A larger thud came from next to the voice.
The man began to shake. "Please! I beg you!"
"...Kill."
Who is this mystery man, and what is his goal? And geez, he's ruthless. He's even after Zach and Fels! What will this entail!? Find out next time!
