Forces of Darkness - Part II: South Korea
Chapter 6: Anyonhase-what?
Seoul, South Korea. O Month, O Day 2010... (In Daisuke's case, this is day 1)
(Scene: A harbor in southwest Seoul, South Korea.)
The cargo ship that carried the six sleeping Team Rocket members and the Jeep slowly drifted towards the morning-tinted harbor in southwest Seoul, eventually hitting the dock and waking Daisuke up from a six-hour slumber.
"(What the hell do you think you're doing here?)" a fisherman called in his very fluent Korean. "(I swear, stragglers these days...)"
"Oh, great!" Daisuke muttered. "We've come all the way to Seoul and I can't speak a word of Korean!"
"(Oh, no!)" the fisherman whined. "(They came all the way from Japan and I can't speak a word of Japanese!)"
"Guys!" Daisuke called to his half-awake teammates. "Does anyone here know how to speak Korean?"
"(Quick! Does anyone here know how to speak Japanese?)" the fisherman asked the rest of the his crew.
"(There's no need for that!)" another voice called to the fisherman. It was the voice of another Team Rocket member, tall and burly, wearing the full uniform.
"(General!)" the fisherman said as he and the rest of his crew saluted.
"Quick, salute!" Daisuke said to his teammates. "It's a higher-ranked Rocket!"
"(Don't you have someplace to be?)" the general asked the fishermen.
"(Uh, right!)" the fisherman replied as he and the rest of his crew hopped into another boat and took off for the sea ahead of them.
The Rocket general turned to the Japanese Rocket members and smiled. "Ah, don't worry about them." he said in his fluent Japanese. "Whenever someone comes from another country, they freak out because they don't know the language."
"Great!" Daisuke cheered. "A fluent speaker. We were going to be lost for sure..."
Butch sighed sadly. "(And just when I was going to show off my knowledge of Korean...)"
"I have heard from Giovanni that you were coming here." the general informed. "But, where are my manners! I should introduce myself... From here on out, call me General."
"A pleasure to meet you, General." Daisuke replied. "And the people behind me are-"
"The unfriendly unit!" General stated.
Daisuke and the rest of his unit face-vaulted at the remark.
"What I've heard in the past is that two of the Yamamoto siblings can't seem to get along with the team comprised of Jessie and James." General added.
"Hey!" Meowth yelled to General. "What 'bout Meowth, huh?"
"It may look like we're getting along, sir," Cassidy stated in monotone. "but, in fact, we're deeply enraged that those two had to join us."
"And we feel the exact same way!" Jessie countered before she and Cassidy turned away from their rivals, crossed their arms and sighed angrily.
...Everyone else sweatdropped at this sight.
"And you, Daisuke Yamamoto," General stated. "you're ordered to keep everyone in your unit in line..."
"That's right." Daisuke replied. "It's a dirty job, but someone has to do it!" He threw his head back and laughed at the remark he made before Cassidy and Jessie drove their fists into his head.
"And to think that an assassin is after you! But, these are the times that we have to face with..." General paused for a moment. "Why don't we discuss the rest at the base, huh?"
"If breakfast is ready," a pleased James said with a gleam in his eyes. "we'll be there in a heartbeat!"
"(If it's not, I'll make a banquet for everyone!)" Butch cheered.
Everyone, except General, stared at Butch, trying to figure out what he said.
"(...What?) I mean, what?"
Everyone continued to stare while sweatdrops fell behind their heads...
(Scene: Team Rocket Base, Seoul, South Korea.)
After a hearty breakfast (possibly sweeping the kitchen storage clean with the way all six humans and the sixteen Pokemon ate...), the team went into a small meeting room where they informed General about the chase through Viridian through their own eyes.
"...And you had to leave the country because the cops were chasing you..." General asked.
"We had no other choice," Daisuke replied. "we were forced out of town basically."
"Weren't there other streets you could've gone down?"
"There were..." Mondo replied. "but, I'm really not fond of going into the Viridian Forest just to lose people..."
"And that girl that was trying to kill you..."
"We don't know much." Daisuke replied. "A Global Police officer hired her to kill me and make it look like he did it."
"If it was the Global Police that hired her, she must be famous."
"Well, we never heard of someone by the name of Kuroi." James stated.
"Chloe." Daisuke quickly corrected.
"Then, does she go by another name?" General asked.
"...Noir." Cassidy stated. "I think that's what it is..."
General gasped. "N-Noir, you say?" he stuttered.
"...Yeah..." Daisuke replied.
"I... I'd never thought that Noir would attack another one from Team Rocket..."
"Anudder one?" Meowth asked.
"Giovanni said almost the exact same thing to us last night." Jessie said.
"I see that he still remembers the whole thing..." General muttered.
"So, what happened back then that's reoccurring now?" Daisuke asked.
General paused for a moment before replying with, "All right, I'll tell you. But, promise me you'll keep this story secret from the others..."
To be continued...
