Hello everyone!
I know this is a really weird update time, but I have just finished an exhausting week with my school's musical and I am about to start some testing at school! Not to mention my sister leaving the country! So yeah, a lot of stuff happening.
I may not update next week due to that so I am updating now!
I haven't update this story in a while so what the hell! Let's do it!
Oh! Before I forget, this is literally the last chance you have to vote on my profile before I close it and start on the deciding path! I have an ending for all four choices in mind so choose your favorite (or choose for her to go her own way!) and I will make sure you won't be disappointed!
Without further adieu, the sixth chapter of TPTI!
Disclaimer: I don't own Pokemon. Or the song. Or anything else that I will refer to.
Mr. Know It All
Well ya think you know it all
But ya don't know a thing at all
Yeah baby you don't know a thing about me
You don't know a thing about me
Chapter Six
Alice's POV
"It's only going to be for a couple of weeks." I told Dan as I buttoned up a white blouse over my dark red tank top.
"Still a few weeks. Do you have to go?" Dan asked.
"Yes. It's a mission that I have to do." I replied as I pulled my black sweater vest over my head. I straightened it and checked myself in the mirror in Dan's room. My white hair was in low pigtails over my shoulders while I had golden yellow contacts in and black frame glasses. I wore a white blouse with a black sweater vest over it and a yellow pleated skirt with a black belt. I had black knee high boots on and a lab coat tucked away in the suitcase I packed.
"What is it again?" Dan asked as he sat in his bed, his legs crossed.
"I told you about twenty times already."I rolled my eyes.
"Tell me again." he said.
I sighed. "I'm going to Viridian City to go undercover at a lab there so I can steal their research. I'll be there for a few weeks so I can fit in there and get close enough to steal the data." I explained. I turned towards him with my hands on my hips.
"You look hot like that." he looked me over.
"Save it for when I get back." I kissed him on the lips. "I have to go now." I grabbed my suitcase and walked through the secret passageway behind the bookshelf. I waited until the one in my room slid open. I walked through and ended up in my room. I looked towards my vanity to see all of my pokéballs waiting there. Pikachu was on the bed with Absol at the foot of it.
I looked around and couldn't find Lucario anywhere. I finally sensed her in the closet. I walked over and pulled the doors open.
"What the hell are you doing?" I asked her when I found her looking in a box.
When are you going to get one for Absol and I? she asked as she pulled out the three Mega Stones and Key Stone.
"When I find one for each of you." I answered her as I swiped the box away from her. I placed the stones back in and walked over to my bed. I placed the box on my bed as I examined the Key Stone.
Then why let those sit in that box already made in accessories? Lucario asked as she stepped out of the closet.
Maybe she's right. It's no better time to use these rocks. I already made the Key Stone into a locket and clipped it around my neck. The red metal shaped rose had the Key Stone in the middle of it as it hung over my chest. I tucked it under my vest. As for the Mega Stones, I'll just give them to Charizard, Blastoise, and Venusaur when I get a chance to bring them out.
"Enough fooling around, we got a mission to complete." I told Lucario as I threw the empty box back in the closet.
Fine. she rolled her eyes as she went back into her pokéball. Absol did the same and I picked up the belt with my pokéballs on them and clipped it around my waist.
"Come on, Pikachu." I patted my shoulder for her to get on. She turned away from examining her tail and sat on my shoulder. I placed a temporary tattoo of a heart at the end of her tail, to disguise her of course. When she did, I grabbed my suitcase and walked out of my room.
I walked to the floor with the labs and into a room where they keep the psychic type pokemon for teleportation.
The pokemon here were all bred here so there's no chance of them repelling and end up escaping. It's one of the reasons why Team Rocket has discouraged stealing pokemon. For the most part.
I walked into the room and was greeted with a familiar face.
"Sabrina." I greeted her. At the sound of her name, the Saffron City Gym Leader turned around to face me. She looked different the last time I remembered. She wore a pink spaghetti strap tank top with white skinny jeans with a black belt and pink slip on shoes. On both of her wrists were black cuffs with green glowing lines. I saw that her hair was shorter this time as well. It reached just passed her shoulder.
"I sensed your arrival." she said simply.
"Of course you did." I rolled my eyes. I don't know why, but she chose to join Team Rocket a year after I did. I didn't care though. Stupid girl hasn't been at the base all that often. And somehow, she came to be a top ranking admin, and I mean one of the good ones. She was ranked the same as Dan and I. Well, Sabrina, Surge, and Koga. Don't ask about the other two bastards. I still wonder why they signed up for the job here.
"I was just here conversing with the pokemon." Sabrina looked back towards the pokemon. "They have much to tell."
"I'm sure they do." I said sarcastically as I walked over to an Espeon with a black star birthmark on its cheek.
"I see you're in some sort of trouble?" Sabrina asked me.
"What the hell are you talking about?"I scowled at her.
"You're distressed. I can see it." she replied.
"Just because you're a psychic and in one of the most dangerous crime gang in the world doesn't mean you can just go reading other people's minds." I said as I unlocked the barrier surrounded Espeon's den.
"I don't. I just see whatever fate chooses to show me." she replied. Arceus, she is so annoying right now.
"Yeah, well, if you're done, I must be getting to my mission now. Do you think I like having this on?" I gestured to my outfit.
"No, and I believe no one does." she laughed.
"Wow. A laugh from a woman who never laughed until six years ago." I said as Espeon curled itself around my feet.
"Your future is uncertain. There are many paths in your way that will determine your fate. You just have to choose the right one." she stated.
"The hell? You know what? I don't even want to know. Espeon, Teleport to Viridian City." I ordered. Espeon's eyes glowed blue until the scenery around us changed. Instead of a metal room with white walls and black tiled floors, we were surrounded by the brick walls of an alley.
"Honestly, in my opinion, you should listen to the woman." Espeon said after her eyes stopped glowing blue.
"And you have a say in here, why?" I asked her.
"Giovanni approached me, he had a feeling you would choose me as you always do, and told me to convince you to take me along as one of your pokemon." she explained.
"I already have one talking pokemon to deal with and I'm not if sure if I can handle another." I explained "Plus, I'm not sure if you're as powerful as my other pokemon."
"Oh trust me. I am very powerful." Espeon flicked her tail. "Consider this mission as a test run. If you're not satisfied with my work, than you can just leave me back at the lab."
I suppose having a psychic pokemon on my team would open up a lot more possibilities. Especially one as small as Espeon. She has been raised from the lab ever since I joined, so it does seem like a good idea. My current party is kinda one sided anyways.
"Alright. I give. I'll see if you do well in this mission."I finally said.
"Great! Now, I just need one of your pokemon to send back to the base." Espeon waved her tail back and forth.
I fingered the pokéballs on my belt. They have all been with me since the beginning. Charizard, Venusaur, and Blastoise has been with me even before that. I can't just give one of them up. I have to think straight about this. The lab I'm going to is independent study and I'm going undercover as a student researcher to study the phenomenon known as Shininess and other unusual pokemon colors, markings, or formalities. Pikachu, Lucario, and Absol are needed, but I'm not sure about my other three pokemon.
Venusaur has this leaf shaped marking right on his forehead ever since he was a Bulbasaur, but hardly anyone notices it. Only me. I think that can count. He also had these flower markings on his flower tree petals. Again, no one can notice them, but me.
And then Blastoise's shell somehow twisted the shell plates so it would look swirled together, kinda like water, with his cannons sticking out of rounded pieces which never happened when he was a Squirtle and Wartortle.
Charizard has a scar that runs from under his left eye and down about three inches. He got that scar after trying to melt a dagger with his flamethrower that Dan threw, but it didn't work. I ended up treating his burned scar and beating up Dan for it. That doesn't really count as a marking that happens naturally so I guess I have to send him back.
I unclipped Charizard's pokéball from my belt and looked at it. "I won't be long. I'm sorry to send you back, my friend. Goodbye." I kissed it lightly before holding it out for Espeon.
"Took you long enough to make up your mind." she sighed as her eyes glowed blue. Charizard's pokéball was outlined in blue before it disappeared from my hand. "By the way, just so you know, I can use Psychic, Swift, Shadow Ball, and Dazzling Gleam. Oh, and my ability is Synchronize. Yes, I am a very versatile pokemon."
"I didn't ask, but it is good to know. Where's your pokéball?"I asked.
"Right here." a pokéball appeared in my hand. "but I rather stay out so I can help you."
"I'm not sure if that a good idea. Pikachu's the only one who has that privilege when we're out on missions." I countered.
"But again, I'm a psychic. I can help you read other people." Espeon retorted.
"If I let you, then will you stop arguing with me and let me start this mission?" I sighed.
"Yes."
"Then fine. Just don't get on my shoulder." I said.
"Works for me." Espeon curled around my feet. I sighed and grabbed my suitcase. I walked out of the alley and was greeted with the glare of sunlight. I pushed my black frames back up and looked towards the direction of the building that lab was supposed to be. It was right across the road from the Viridian Gym, but as far as I know, there's still no Gym Leader and no trainers in there. It just sits there as a memory of how Team Rocket was once so close to the League.
I rolled my suitcase behind me as I walked towards the lab. I stopped outside the gym just for a moment, just to absorb how Giovanni was able to run a gang like Team Rocket without getting caught as he ran a Gym.
"And yet, I still made the right choice." I smiled. I walked away from the Gym and across the street to the lab. The building was large and looked to be about ten stories tall. The front doors were a pair of glass sliding doors that slid open as I walked through them. I was greeted with the sight of a reception area when I first walked in. A woman with ice blue hair and rosy pink eyes smiled at me as she sat behind a desk.
"Hello! Welcome to the Viridian Research Facility!" she greeted me. "What can I help you with?"
"Oh, my name's Amari and I'm supposed to be starting my student program here." I slipped into my cover. "I'm researching Pokemon Rarities."
"Of course! I have your room assignments right here." the receptionist gave me a sheet of paper. "Now, you should head up to the third floor where Professor Ivy should be waiting for you. From there, she will give you a tour of the lab and your dorm."
"Thank you!" I nodded as I smiled at the receptionist. I grabbed my suitcase and rolled it over to the elevator. Espeon weaved in and out of my feet making it very hard to walk straight. I got in the elevator without tripping and pushed the button to go up to the third floor.
When the elevator doors opened up, I saw a long hallway in front of me. The walls and floors were all white with very few doors in the hallways. I'm guessing the rooms here are very big for there to be this few doors. I stepped out of the hallway and down the hallway when I heard some voices. The hallway split either left or right in front of me so I don't know where the voices were coming from. I feel like one of the voices sounded familiar.
Just as I turned right, I bumped into somebody.
"Oh! I'm sorry!" I exclaimed.
"It's fine." Shit. You have got to be kidding me.
"Gary? Are you okay?" the woman next to him, Professor Ivy, asked.
"Yes." he nodded.
"And who are you, young lady?" Professor Ivy asked me.
"I'm Amari Jaune." I answered as I readjusted my glasses. "I'm supposed to be starting my student research today."
"Ah yes. I remember. Pokemon Rarities, am I right?" Professor Ivy asked.
"Yes ma'am." I nodded.
"And I see you already have some pokemon with you to help with your research. Excellent!" she smiled. "Gary, do you mind giving Amari a tour of the building?" she asked.
I froze. This boy, who broke my heart all those years ago, someone who dismissed me so easily, is going to be around me for the next few weeks? I rather face that sorry excuse of a brother I had! These people are no longer connected to me. I will not treat them the same as I used to.
"Whatever." he shrugged. "Follow me."
I gritted my teeth together and followed him with my suitcase rolling behind me. He showed me the different rooms, which were work labs, and told me about the different floors.
"You'll be working on the fifth floor." he said as we stepped off the elevator to said floor. "Since you're a student right now, you'll be working with a supervisor, meaning me."
Arceus, I am regretting accepting this mission right now. Why? Can I just say why? I really wish I can just stab one of my stars in his eye right now! But I have to get those fucking files first before I can do anything.
"Your lab is connected to mines so call me if you need anything." Gary said as he opened a door to one of the rooms. The walls were lined with various machines and metal tables. On one wall was a large screen. "I'm focusing on Pokemon evolution right now so our fields overlap a bit."
"I'll be sure to ask you if I need anything!" I forced a very, very, strained smile.
"Dorms are on the tenth and ninth floor." Gary explained as we exited the lab. "Professors and older researchers are on the tenth floor while younger ones, like you and I, are on the ninth floor. We each have a room to ourselves and we split the wings by boys and girls." he explained as we rode the elevator to the ninth floor. "This is your room." we stopped outside a door marked 13.
"What about you?" I asked him.
"I live outside the lab, but I do have a room here just in case I have to stay overnight." he answered. "Come down to the lab when you're done being settled in." he walked away.
I forced a smile and waited until he was out of sight. I quickly went into my room and closed the door.
"For the love of Arceus, this is a bunch of Tauros shit!" I exclaimed once my door was shut. I took a deep breath to calm myself down. Having feelings is very hard to handle, I just go random mood swings sometimes. I forgot how it felt like.
"Ah, ah, ah. Best not your temper get in your way." Espeon said as she sat in front of me.
"I can easily sent you back to the base if I want to."I warned her.
"Hey, I'm helping you out here." she objected as she placed my stuff away in the room using her psychic powers. Once she was done, she looped through my legs. "You should be grateful."
"Grateful, my ass."I grumbled as Pikachu climbed down from my shoulder to talk to Espeon. I opened the door behind me and walked out, closing it after Pikachu and Espeon walked out with me.
"And you forgot this." Espeon teleported a white lab coat in my hands.
"I never did see the appeal in these things." I muttered as I slipped my arms through the sleeves. I buttoned the first three buttons and walked over to the elevator. It opened and I went down to the fifth floor. I went over to the door Gary told me about earlier and turned the knob.
"Ah! Blastoise! Not that hard!"
I stared blankly as Gary was rocketed from one side of the room and crashed into the opposite wall. I blinked once, twice, three times before the water stopped. Then, the water sprinklers came on.
"This is a very good impression, no?" Espeon flicked her tail.
"Pi pikachu kachu pi chu." Pikachu told her.
"Well there's no need to use such harsh language like that!"
"Um, Gary? What's going on?"i asked him in an innocent voice. Argh, even I'm making myself wanting to throw up.
"Oww...oh." he said as he looked up at me after sliding down the wall. "Sorry that you had to see that. I was just practicing with my Blastoise's power in its Mega Evolution."
"Mega Evolution?" I asked him. I instantly regretted that when it came out my mouth.
"I guess you never heard of it. Most people wouldn't since only a few can use it." Gary said as he walked towards me. He started to talk about Mega Evolution which I zoned out a bit. I snapped back to it when he started to walk away.
I followed him and saw several machines and computers at a desk which I'm guessing is my work station.
"This is your station. I'm right next to you if you need anything." he said before walked away to his station. I nodded and looked back at where I was supposed to be working.
"Okay. There is a reason why I work in the field and not in a lab." I muttered as I looked at the computers.
"May I suggest giving your Pikachu and I a check up? I mean, we do have markings on us. Well, mines is natural; you tattooed her heart on her tail." Espeon said as she jumped on the desk.
"If you're going to jump on anything, do it on the table, not the desk." I glared at her.
"Fine. Whatever." she jumped from the desk and onto the table. Pikachu hopped on the table.
"Thank Arceus Bree taught me all I needed to know about your anatomy." I muttered as I wrote on a clipboard.
"Watch out!" Espeon warned as I was finished checking them. I looked over and saw a Shadow Ball heading towards my way. On instance, I kicked it and deflected it.
"Shit."I groaned as I noticed Gary running up to me. Why did I just have to do that? Damn you reflexes!
"Whoa! How were you able to deflect that?" Gary exclaimed as he spotted the hole in the wall where the Shadow Ball slammed into.
"My parents made me take self defense lessons in hopes of me being a trainer, but as you can tell, it didn't really work out. I became more interested in researching pokemon than training them." I lied. "I was able to keep some of my training though."
"Seems like it came in handy." Gary noted. "Sorry about that though. I'm not really making a good impression right now." He rubbed the back of his head sheepishly.
"It's fine!" I placed on a fake smile. "Everyone makes mistakes."
"And I seem to be making a lot of them today." Gary rubbed the back of his head sheepishly. "I should let you get back to your work. I'll make sure I won't disturb you anymore." with that, he turned around.
I gave a small smile as he walked away. I turned around and let that smile fade. "Jackass." I muttered.
"Now, now. Language." Espeon chided me.
"If you're surprised at that, than you really don't know me at all." I retorted
"Fair enough." Espeon relied. "So do you have any idea on what you're doing?"
"Yes I do and let me get to it." I glared at her as I sat down in the seat facing the computer. Easily enough, I didn't need to log in since I was already log in for this little mission. I scanned through the data and couldn't find any files linking to the M-2 Project. As I suspected. They won't let such important documents on a public computer of a lowly student researcher. I have to get to a computer of someone higher up.
I slipped out a flash drive from my pocket. I plugged it into the computer and uploaded it to the main data drive. When it was done, I took the flashdrive out and slipped it back into my pocket. In that flash drive was a computer virus that is untraceable. It would be able to go through every one of the computers in this building and alert me when it found something. It can also destroy every piece of research they have once I'm done.
I spend the rest of the day scouting the lab out. The people seem so gullible, I almost feel bad for them. Almost. They seemed to welcome me so warmly, it makes me sick. How can all of these people just accept a new stranger to where they have been at for so long? At Team Rocket, you have to fight to reach the top. I did and I'm working directly under Madame Boss. Sure, she's a bit intense, but that's the price you pay if you want to be the best and I really want to be the best.
Settling down at this place needs some getting used to. I have to act fast to please Madame. The people here already trust me, but I can't just grab and go. No. I have to befriend the one person who is truly in charge here. The one person who betrayed me all those years ago. I never wanted to see him again, but here we are. Of course it had to be Gary, but I have to bite my tongue and go with it. Starting tomorrow, I'm starting a personal mission: become friends with Gary Oak.
"Rise and shine!"
"Pikachu!"
"Ow! That hurts!"
"Pi! Chu! Ka ka pi!"
"Well, there's no need to use such harsh language."
"Would the both of you shut up?!" I yelled at them. I glared daggers at the both of them before they trotted back to the desk where they were sleeping. I would have Pikachu sleep on my bed, but it wasn't big enough. How odd. A goody-goody lab company is too cheap to afford bigger beds than a villainous criminal organization.
That aside, I flung the itchy thin sheets of fabric they dare call blankets off of the bed and swung my legs over the side of the bed. I cracked my back. I swear, this place has money to afford all of this technology, but they can't even buy decent beds and blankets for the people sleeping here. I stretched my arms over my head and reached down to stretch my legs as I touched my toes. When I was done, I stood up and walked to the connected bathroom.
Another thing about this crappy place, there's no hot water. I swear, Team Rocket knows how to treat their workers better than this supposedly better place. I'm glad I joined Team Rocket and not continue my stupid ass journey. I took a quick shower and brushed my teeth. I was still drying my hair with a towel when I heard a knock at my door.
"Who is it?" I called out.
"Gary." a muffled voice came back.
I sighed. I don't want to see him this early. I really don't. I looked down at what I was wearing. A spaghetti strap tank top and a pair of really short shorts. I can't be wearing this! It would ruin the whole mission! I got to think of something.
"Put this on." I turned towards Espeon only to have my face covered by something. I snatched it off of my face and looked it over to see it was a really baggy shirt.
"And how is this supposed to help me?" I glared at her.
"It would hide your shorts and top. Just put it on." she responded. She flicked her tail before staring at the door again.
I growled softly. She is so getting on my nerves. But I took her advice and put on the shirt.
"Amari? You okay in there?" I heard Gary asked.
"Yeah! I'm fine!" I answered. I finished putting the shirt on and I grabbed the towel from earlier. My hair was still wet as hell. I grabbed the doorknob in one hand as I held the towel near my hair in the other. When I opened up the door, I felt a throbbing sensation in my nose.
"Ow..." I groaned as I held my nose with my hand without the towel. I might have trained in advanced fighting with deadly weapons for six years, but that just really hurt than anything else I have faced.
"Oh I'm sorry." I opened my eyes to see Gary with his fist raised. "I was going to knock, but then you opened your door and..."
"It's fine. It's fine."I said. No it's not. Because of this, I'm just going to get him back harder than I planned.
"Well, I'm still sorry." Gary rubbed the back of his head sheepishly. I saw him drop his eyes and then his face turned red.
"What's the matter?" I asked him.
"U-Um, I d-didn't realize y-you're not dressed y-yet." Gary blushed further.
Somehow, I blushed myself when he said that. I forgot about the pain in my nose and closed the door a bit more. "S-Sorry! I'll meet you downstairs!" I said quickly before I closed the door completely. I pressed my back against the door and slid down. I wrapped my arms around my legs and just sat there.
Why was I blushing? I'm already with Dan! There's no way I have feelings for a guy like him. No way. Not after what he did. I will never forgive him for that. I need to clear my head. I really need to.
"Boy problems?" Espeon asked me as she hopped down from the desk.
"Shut up." I snarled at her. I stood up and grabbed my undercover clothes. I rushed into the bathroom and got changed. When I stepped out, my hair was dry and was tied in the two pigtails I had them in yesterday. I put on the lab coat I draped over the chair before I went to sleep last night. I grabbed the glasses on my desk and placed them on. I already had my contacts in.
"Must not show emotions." I reminded myself. "Save it for when this mission is over."
Espeon and Pikachu trotted behind me as I strolled out of the room. I went to the elevator and pressed the button for the staff relaxation floor. Yes, they have a separate floor just for it. When it arrived, I stepped out and headed to the little cantine they had there. It wasn't that busy. Everyone must be waking up or off to work already.
I quietly made my way over to the fruit salad bar they had. I grab a cup and filled it with random berries. I ate my breakfast in peace before heading off to the floor I 'm supposed to be working on. But before that can happen...
"Miss Amari! Miss Amari!" I winced at the high pitched voice calling out my undercover name. Should I or shouldn't I? I really don't want to be bothered right now. I want to just come and go undetected.
I started to walk towards the elevator again, but a girl suddenly walked into my path. She was my height with lilac purple hair and sky blue eyes. She had this goofy smile on her face and she was bouncing with every second. She was wearing a light pink dress with black leggings and white flats under her white lab coat. Her dark tan skin contrasted with the light colors she wore.
"Sorry if I surprised you!" she apologized. "But I was so happy to know that that's another student here who's doing their research!"
"Oh." I placed a fake smile on my face. "I wasn't aware that there are more students like me."
"But there are!" the girl nodded. "My name is Sakura. Nice to meet you!" she stuck out her hand.
Recently, I grabbed it. When I did, the girl suddenly pulled me in a hug. I was about to give her a piece of my mind when she whispered something in my ear. "Rocket's Venomous Flower is at your service."
I widen my eyes. I know who this girl is. She's another general, but she wasn't based in Kanto. She's all the way from Alola. We just started a branch there and it seemed to have picked off very well. I have heard a lot about this Sakura. Her real name is Lilo. She is known throughout Team Rocket for being the 'Venomous Flower'. She fights using several poison laced metal flower petals that disables her enemies. A personal favorite of hers though is a dart gun with darts also laced with poison, guaranteed to knock out anyone. We chatted a few times, but never met face-to-face.
Lilo let me go and smiled at me. She skipped off back into the room, giving me my freedom to the elevator. I regained my composure and walked into the elevator.
"So, do you know who that girl is?" Espeon asked me once the doors were closed.
"It's hard to not know who she is." I replied. "Lilo Yokani. One of the first to sign up for the Alola branch and quickly became rising star because of it. We talked few times over the phone to compare our teams, and if I must say, we are on good term on each other because of it."
"Seems like you did your homework." Espeon flicked her tail and curled it around my leg.
"I always make sure to keep up with Team Rocket news. But the one thing I'm wondering is why she's also on this mission." I said.
"Maybe she was sent to help you. I know making chaos in such an important place takes a lot of work. Too much work for one person." Espeon replied.
"Not that I don't mind her here, but I do feel insulted that Madame doesn't trust me enough to take care of this mission myself." I muttered.
"Don't be. Lilo has been here for a few weeks to know the ins and outs of this place. After all, she's under your command. Here, you're in charge of her despite the fact that both of you are generals." Espeon said as the doors opened.
"Hmm. I do see your point." I whispered to her. "This mission has just gotten more interesting." I walked down the hallway and opened the door to the shared lab with the ID I got yesterday. The lock beeped before it unlocked. I walked in and towards the little lab area I had.
I just got to my seat when Gary walked up to me. I was hoping for this confrontation to be much later. I swallowed my disgust and looked up at him. "Yes? Is there something you need?"
"I just thought we could get to know each other a bit more today. After all, we're going to be working together for a while." he answered.
Okay. This was not how I imagined it to go out, but it works nonetheless. "That sounds great." I smiled at him. "But what about our work?"
"I'm sure it can wait until a little bit later. Come on. Let me show you the preserve. I'm sure it will help out with your research too." he motioned towards the door.
I nodded and stood up. Pikachu hopped on my right shoulder while Espeon weaved in between my feet with every step. I just have to check that virus later. Making faux friends with this idiot seems more important.
We walked out of the room and into the elevator. I said nothing as I watched the floor number go down, down, down...
I'm going to the belly of the beast.
And there you have it! I know you all have been waiting for it!
