AN: The second chapter is up! I made sure I had both done before I posted so you could read more into it than what is in chapter 1. WARNING! Again, a cuss word is used, but only for a second. As said, I don't like swearing in the fanfics I write as much as real life or my own vocabulary, but it is a necessary evil. Hope you like it!

Disclaimer: I own nothing in relation in Pokémon.

Chapter 2

Officer Coyle sat nervously in a chair outside the chief's office. He just graduated the academy at the top of his class and had been called for an assignment. He looked around and most of the officers looked definitely more suited than him. He didn't understand why he had been picked for this assignment. He was about to be assigned a partner too. He was so excited about getting a Pokémon as a partner. He wasn't allowed to just use a captured Pokémon. This one was handed picked by him for him and now he was never going to get it.

"Coyle." The chief said in the door.

"Yes Chief Connell. Here." Coyle said jumping out of his seat and saluting. It was faint but anyone could see with a sharp eye that the hand he saluted with was shaking.

"At ease. You can come in." the middle-aged said as he made his way back into his office.

Officer Coyle entered the chief's office to find it rather impersonal. He obviously did not spend a lot of time in his office nor did it look like he wanted too. It was set up with basics and had only two pictures on the desk. The chief back where he was stationed at the academy had his desk littered with them. It was almost like the man's life story on one desk. From what he could see there was one of his family and the other of a little girl.

"Your daughter is cute sir." Coyle said seeing the most of the photo of a dark yet so bright blue eyed child. He was hoping this would break the ice between them. However, he didn't expect the chief to sigh and close his eyes to take a calming breath. What happened to the excited father?

"Thank you, but I hate for you to be misinformed. Emery died over fifteen years ago." Chief Connell informed him still keeping his solid expression.

"Oh, I'm sorry sir for sounding impersonal." Coyle apologized bowing his head.

"It's alright. No one talks about it much. Let's move on as to why you're here."

"Yes sir."

"As you know Team Rocket has been increasing their efforts in business and recruitment. We are busting more black market operations and finding Team Rocket to be the source. They are getting out of hand and it comes down that we need someone on the inside. This is where you come in. Since you're recently graduated we won't have to separate you from a partner or have any other officers or stations involved. Despite being twenty years of age you look seventeen. You will be able to fit in with the selected group we feel Team Rocket will target as potential recruits. We want you to go undercover and tell us any information on Team Rocket." Connell explained. "Do you understand the assignment?"

"Yes sir."

"Good. Here is your cover and the files you'll need to review." Chief Connell said handing him the documents. He saw the name at the top. Not much of a change there.

As Officer Coyle left the office he looked over to see the officer waiting to give him his new clothes and equipment he'd be needing for his mission. He couldn't help but feel all the other watching him. They all knew some details of what was going on, but weren't allowed everything due to security. He was a rookie and was given a high priority mission right after graduation. He thought it would be years before he'd get this chance, not months. Apparently they all thought the same.

"Ignore them." A voice said.

"Huh?" Coyle said as he looked at the chief who was now behind him.

"Ignore them Coyle. They all know why they weren't chosen. Officer, you can go back to your post. I've got this." Connell said to the awaiting officer.

"Yes sir." He said saluting before he left to his desk until he was told to return to his post.

Connell then left inside the storage room and left the door open for Coyle to follow. He cautiously followed his superior inside where a box was sitting out.

"Here. This all you'll need." Connell said sliding the box to him.

Opening the box he saw clothes like he saw the kids on the streets where these days. More name brands that apparently would help him disguise as a seventeen year old boy. That wasn't all he was going to need. He knew he was going to need a no good attitude or something that made him look like trouble. He couldn't just be a crowd pleaser or a goody to-shoes.

"Thank you."

"Not to add pressure on you, but the mayor needs this operation to a success more than we do." Connell said after breaking a moment of silence.

"May I ask why sir?"

Coyle had an idea. Cerulean City wasn't very big such as Saffron or Celadon, but Team Rocket had been wreaking havoc on their cities and even smaller ones for months, if not years. If they could take out the operations, if not the main headquarters then all the cities would have nothing to worry about.

"His daughter has gotten mixed up with the wrong crowds and the group you are to engage is who the mayor's kid has been sighted with."

"Am I to protect her?" Coyle asked.

"No. You are to do as said. Gather information. On the other hand if you can prevent the child from officially falling into Team Rocket's clutches than it would be greatly appreciated. He doesn't want his only child to be lost." Connell said. He clutched his fist and Coyle could see him tighten his jaw.

"May I ask what happened?" Coyle asked remembering about the chief's little girl.

Connell sighed. He remember reviewing his file. Coyle was good at analyzing others and making spot on predictions. That and his ability to blend in and attract others was why he had been chosen for this operations instead of anyone else. He should have expected this. Everyone else already knew so why not.

"Emery was seven years old when she was kidnapped."

"Kidnapped. Sir, then that means..."

"Everyone told me to forget about her. I've accepted that she's dead and so has my wife. We had taken Emery to the park to play since it was my day off. I was a lieutenant at the time and recently Team Rocket changed tactics and started targeting our forces including officers and their Pokémon. I should have noticed sooner and I beat myself up every day for not. Anyway, I was called away as one of our stations was attacked and robbed. We lost so much including incriminating evidence, Pokémon, and some officers were injured. After we had calmed the situation there I got another call from the chief at the time saying I need to get down to Cerulean General Hospital. There my wife was being treated and police were speaking with her. She was hysterical and when she finally calmed down enough she told not long after I left they was surrounded by men in black. They attacked her and kidnapped Emery. I searched everywhere for her, but came up empty until a month later when a civilian came across the scene where they found the body. Despite the decay it was Emery and I hope that one day I can find the bastard that did it to her."

"I'm sorry sir." Coyle said. He was sorry he also asked. The man before him had a great deal on strength to be able to retell the story and seemingly keep a straight face. He could that inside he was truly hurting if not traumatized. He hoped one day he would get his peace and Coyle knew he couldn't fail his mission. So much rode on his shoulders for it not too.

"Enough of this. You need to be out by Nugget Bridge by noon if you catch with those kids." He explained.

"Yes sir."

He made it by noon and met the kids. He identified the mayor's kid and fit in with the rest of them. It took weeks, but they were finally noticed by Team Rocket. The true mission had begun when he reported that he was being brought to headquarters to begin the process.

"So where we going?" Alaric asked as he put his hands behind his head bored. This chick led them down the same halls over and over. Or at least they all looked the same. Where was the awesome Team Rocket gear, frames, and labs he knew about.

"What did I say about questions?" Hunter asked.

"Don't remember." He scoffed.

"Maybe Arcanine should melt the wax in your ears so you can hear. No questions and if you were paying any attention you would know exactly where we are going." Hunter replied.

Rikka's eyes widen at the threat. She wouldn't really hurt Alaric would she? Would any of them be hurt as a form a punishment? That was horrible. She looked around and couldn't find a way out. She was trapped and couldn't back out. She had seen too much and wouldn't make it back.

They finally reached a door and Hunter put in a code on the panel before placing her palm on it. The screen scanned her print before turning green as the door slid open revealing a large room filled with cages and tables. Rikka's eyes widen. This was horrible. What were they doing to those poor Pokémon?

"Now this is what I'm talking about." Alaric about to rush in but was stopped by Hunter's arm.

"You will follow me and wait to be instructed." Hunter said.

"Listen bitch, I'm not going to let you boss me around like your own species. I'm here for Team Rocket, not some boot camp."

"I suggest you not refer to me as such again." She had heard it before. Not that it bothered her, but if the others heard some kids referring to her as such she not get much respect from either spectrum of groups.

"I'll call you whatever I want..." Alaric grumbled. She might be kind of hot but he could deal without the crappy attitude. It seemed like her only redeeming quality was her good looks before she apparently was a horrible trainer. Arcanine should be cowering at her feet not standing beside it. Loyalty from a Pokémon is brought by fear.

"You will address me as Hunter or Admin. Your choice and I do not care. Any other names and you can expect extra training." Alaric only glared at her. He understood. "Good. Now each of you will be given a Pokémon. This is the only one you will receive from us. Others must be caught, stolen, or received under special circumstances. Lose it and you'll be the grunts moping the floors." Hunter explained.

They affirmed their orders and stood in line awaiting their given Pokémon. Hunter walked to a scientist and they exchanged a silent conversation before they turned to the group. Five poke balls laid on the tray.

"You kids are lucky." The scientist said. "Admin Aubrey talked to Admin Hunter and got her to agree to give a good batch of Pokémon. Some of these we acquired were quite proud of so don't screw up it."

Each of them remained quiet looking to the admin in the room awaiting for her response. She only nodded agreeing with the scientist before speaking.

"Each of these Pokémon were obtained by me. I certainly don't them to go to waste as I couldn't keep a couple for myself." Hunter said as she picked up the first ball and handed it to Kaiser who was the first trainer on the bridge. "Here."

Kaiser took the ball and opened it.

"Magby." The Pokémon said as it glared at his new trainer. Kaiser smirked. He was pleased with the Pokémon he received.

Hunter then took another ball and handed it to Rikka. She opened the ball to see a small brown fox.

"Eevee?" the skittish Pokémon said looking around in fear. She looked up and caught the eye of Hunter and she took a step toward her. Hunter tapped her foot and scooted it with her foot. Eevee looked to Rikka and the girl before her smiled. Cautiously she walked over to the girl and was scooped up into her arms.

"Do not evolve until instructed." Hunter said before moving on.

Rikka nodded nervously but looked down at the frighten Pokémon that was shaking in her arms. However, Rikka couldn't help notice that Eevee kept its eyes on Hunter as she handed Truitt his Pokémon.

"Porygon?" Truitt said as the dense looking Pokémon floated before him when he released. This Pokémon looked a little slow like it was missing a few screws. Porygon levitated to Truitt and stood beside him staring out into who knows where.

"Don't be discouraged. Aubrey's report on you seemed to tell us you could handle such a Pokémon. I convinced the scientist here it would be in the best interest if the organization that a young man such as yourself should be promised with nothing mediocre. Not of you for that matter." Hunter explained. "Here."

"Go!"

"Smoochum!" The Pokémon said being release and winking at everyone. Hunter rolled her eyes.

"Ar!" Arcanine barked at it and Smoochum instantly ran toward Emilie in fear of the fire type.

"You'll be okay dear." Emilie said "That mutt isn't going to hurt you anymore."

"Don't baby it." Hunter remarked.

"How can I not when she's so cute?!" Emilie squealed. "Like me? Don't you think?"

"No." Hunter said bluntly before walking away. She was happy to be finally rid of that Pokémon. A Pokémon that gave her a headache, but it seemed like she was just getting another one from another human. Couldn't escape them all.

"Finally!" Alaric said eagerly trying to grab his. He had to have ranked the highest. There was no way. He defeated the others in battle multiple times. Sure, he lost to the others sometimes but he had more wins than losses. However, before he could grab the Pokémon it was swiped. "Hey! That's mine!"

"I think not." Hunter said with the ball in her hand. "It is a privilege to be given such a Pokémon. You do not steal from Team Rocket."

"Fine. I get it." Alaric said only agreeing so he could receive his Pokémon. Hunter gave him the ball which he excitedly opened. "Go!"

"Tyrogue." The Pokémon said it then low swept Alaric right under his feet causing him to fall on his back.

"Hey you stupid little!" Alaric went to shout but looked at the Pokémon before him. He smiled. This was perfect. If he couldn't break the Pokémon then he needed one that would be able to dish out what he gave. "I think this one will do nicely."

"Like you have a choice." Hunter said as she walked to the center to address them. "Like I said. Don't lose your Pokémon and don't steal from each other. At the end of the day all these Pokémon belong to Team Rocket and now so do you. Now, this grunt will show you to your rooms where you'll find trainee uniforms to wear for your duration here. You're dismissed until tomorrow morning."

AN: I think that's where we're going to end it for now. I've hit a stopping point and already have chapter three coming to mind. I hope you're enjoying it and please review, favorite, and/or follow in the meantime! Thanks for reading!
