It
was Sunset. Seigi had come to Sgt. Chewston's apartment, fully armed,
wearing a trench coat. He was curious to find out who Sgt. Chewston's
"Useful contact" was, adn if they could trust him.
Seigi
knocked on the door and waited, shufting his cannon uncomfertably on
his back.
((Me))
Sgt.
Ash Chewston quickly opened the door and ushered Seigi in. Ash was
wearing a thick leather jacket and baggy jeans, both black. For those
in the know, you could have sworn Ash was a mix between Lt. Surge and
a gang thug. He scanned the outside before closing and locking the
door, making sure Seigi wasn't followed. Inside, only the
flickering light of the TV illuminated the medium sized apartment.
Ash took a seat beside the rooms other occupant, a middle aged woman
in tight fitting thieving gear. She was staring intently at the TV as
it cut from a commercial to the latest news.
"This is
Vivian," stated Ash quietly, so as not to interrupt the news, "and
she's our one and only supplier at the moment." Ash jerked a
thumb at a low table in the nearby kitchen, displaying various
automatic weapons, ammunition, and other more general equipment under
the flickering light.
"Shh!" spat Vivian, as she doubled
the volume on the television set.
The aged news anchor droned
on, "...police have no suspects yet. On the international front, a
new terrorist organization has kidnapped two Brazilian men, Georgio
Luz and Joao Renoldo, the local assistant governor of the Amazon
state. The Glyxorkian government has not released their demands, but
we will keep you posted as the story develops. What's strange is
the fact that the terrorist organization is made up completely by
Pokemon. Scientists say they have found no evidence of a direct link
between this strange Pokemon behavior and the violent outbreak of
Pokemon attacks here at home. Dr. Tom Dillidand, leading Pokemon
psychologist, has this to say about..."
Ash smiled grimly to
himself. The Glyxorkian government went all out converting the
sergeant into a Pokemon hunter. He had spent the good part of his
afternoon at the dilapidated government building again, but it was
only at the end of his psychological session both the good doctor and
Vivian revealed themselves. Dr. Tom Dillidand was a major Pokemon
researcher, recently hired by the Glyxorkian government to look into
the recent uprising of Pokemon. Vivian was the doctors government
sanctioned bodyguard, a former CIA operative.
Dillidand's
live public report was coming to a conclusion, and the news anchor
continued into the story. "Thank you, doctor. The international
terrorist organization of Team Rocket has not made a statement
claiming responsibility for the Pokemon attacks, and Trey Stravinski
is reporting live from the Pokemon League."
"Thank you,
Stephen." began Trey, with a slight Romanian accent. "While Team
Rocket has not been directly linked to the continuing increase of
Pokemon violence, one woman bet her life on it." The image cut to a
photo of an elderly woman, while the reporter continued. "Widowed
mother of two, this woman was getting mugged by a member of the
infamous Team Rocket. She refused to let him have her money, and the
mugger advanced on her with his Pokemon, Arbok and Houndoom.
Luckily," the image cut back to the live video feed, displaying the
reporter next to a vibrant Pokemon trainer, "local Pokemon
enthusiast Michael Traner saved the day. Using his own Pokemon,
Wartortle and Sneasel, Michael expertly defeated the Team Rocket
member. However, in a rare show of violence, Team Rocket actually
tried to murder Michael with an automatic pistol." The reporter
turned to the trainer and continued, "Michael, what
happened?"
"The woman was being attacked by Team Rocket,
but I saved her with my Wartortle and Sneasel!" Both Pokemon stood
dutifully by their trainer's side, and smiled compassionately when
their names were mentioned. "I didn't even realize Team Rocket
carried guns until I was staring down the barrel! Sneasel here saved
us all with a hyper beam."
"What was Team Rocket after
this time?" asked the reporter.
"The woman said he wanted
her money, and was threatening her two kids to get it! It's all
very strange, considering Team Rocket has never escalated to this
level of violence before. I actually just finished sending a notice
to the Pokemon League," Michael said, glancing behind him to the
massive building, "and I hope they can clear this all up."
The
reporter turned back to the camera. "Live from the Pokemon League,
I'm Trey Stravinski..."
Vivian gave Ash and Seigi a
troubled look. "That's not he half of it," she murmured,
pulling out a video cassette tape from a briefcase sitting beside
her, "this was received by Glyxork a few hours ago, and by the
Brazilian government plenty before that. It's the transmission by
the Pokemon terrorist organization," she said, while putting the
tape into Ash's VCR, "and it explains a lot." She pressed
Play and leaned back against the couch.

Ash sighed. "So what's our first course of action?"
