Chapter 4
"I can't find Eevee!" Rikka panicked. She couldn't breath. She ran here hoping her friends would be able to help before she got into any trouble. She didn't want to think about what would happened if someone found Eevee before she did.
"What?" Truitt said jumping off the bed and pulling the girls inside. He put his hand on her shoulder to calm her before she had a panic attack.
"I can't find her. She disappeared. I looked all over for her and nothing!"
"What happened?" Truitt asked.
"Well after dinner we went back to the room. We left our Pokemon outside their balls to get some air and when we came back in Eevee ran out! I couldn't catch her and she kept using Quick Attack to avoid me!" She tried to chase down the small brown fox but she was too quick and the hallways seemed forever twisting.
"Calm down." Kaiser said in his monotone voice.
"Yeah, freaking out isn't helping." Truitt said.
"Of course not!" Alaric snorted. "She'll be mopping floors before tomorrow."
Rikka's eyes scrunched up and tears began to well up. She didn't want to mop floors, she didn't even want to be there anymore. She just wanted to take her Eevee and leave this place. Neither of them belonged here.
"Don't worry. We'll help you look for Eevee." Emilie said. "Right boys?"
"We will?" Alaric asked.
"Yes." Emilie said as she sternly looked at the older boy.
"Whatever." He said.
"Well we better get moving before the guards do rounds. If we or Eevee is spotted someone is going to get in trouble." Truitt said.
"Right." Everyone agreed as they got up and quietly exited the room.
They decided it would be best to split up. They would cover more of the base that way and each of them agreed staying as a group would take longer and none of them really wanted to get in trouble if caught.
Alaric walked down the hall looked down the other turned around and did the same before going back inside the room. He helped looked. He didn't see that little rat. The others couldn't say he didn't. He had better things to do than look Rikka's lost puppy. It was her fault she couldn't keep track of it. That wasn't his priority.
Alaric was focused on how he could get stronger. He needed to get into the ranks as fast as he could. He needed too. Team Rocket could change for the better with him at the reins than some of the fools he'd seen running around. He would take them all down one at a time, starting with Hunter and take them all down.
He laid on his bed comtemplating what to do to when he heard a beeping noise. He looked to his communicator and saw he had three messages.
Truitt: Any luck?
Emilie: Wanna meet up?
Unknown: We should meet. I can help.
He answered all three of them before getting up. Screw Truitt, he was getting on his nerves anyway. Emilie would have to wait. This unknown messenger was worth his time. Apparently he just found his way to inflitrate Team Rocket and take these fools down.
Truitt ran toward the area where Pokemon were stored. He knew it was more dangerous sectors to search due to increased security but he had to take a chance. He was taking the chance because Eevee was a Pokemon not accustomed to Team Rocket. Perhaps she would feel safer with other Pokemon and back where they met. It was a small chance but he had to take it.
He entered the room and all the Pokemon looked at him. The room still felt warm meaning someone had just been in there. He guessed he lucked out if it was the guards meaning they wouldn't be back for a while giving him plenty of time.
"Ur!" a Pokemon cried out.
Truitt looked over to see a Pokemon he knew was from Johto called Teddiursa. It clawed at the cage before reaching out and grabbing at him. Truitt couldn't believe that the Pokemon looked hopeful to have attention.
"I think not." He sneered before walking in another direction. "Eevee. You here?"
"No. I would say Eevee isn't here."
Truitt stopped in his tracks hearing anothe voice other than his own. He turned toward the voice and saw a man sitting next to some cages. Inside those two cages was a Magikarp and Slugma. He was much older than some of the other people he had met since arriving at the base.
"Who are you?" Truitt asked.
"Enzo. I'm an admin. Seeing if there was an Eevee here?" Enzo said.
"Yeah, those are pretty rare Pokemon." Truitt lied.
"We had one but given to a recruit. A couple of the admins wanted it but the admins in charge said no. Damn shame if you ask me. Would have worked better under an admin especially with the battles coming up. Better get out of here kid before the guards come back." Enzo said.
"Battles?"
"Nothing you don't need to prepare for rookie. Go."
Truitt said nothing more before leaving storage and continuing his seach to find Eevee or at least the others.
Kaiser wasn't having much luck either. He decided to check near the other quarters. He didn't call for the Pokemon, but every once in a while he'd snap hoping the Pokemon would come. Seemed to work with other Pokemon and Magby responded...mostly. He heard a beeping noise and looked down to his communicator. Kaiser rolled eyes before turning around to get out of sight. Looking for Eevee would have to wait and wasn't his problem. He'd bet the only person looking for her was her trainer and maybe Emilie and Truitt. Those two seemed to babysit that girl. As he was about to round another corner he stopped seeing Emilie come out a room in a hurry. Apparently she wasn't looking as hard as everyone thought by her appearance.
Rikka carefully wandered down the hall. It was quiet. She was about to round a corner but quickly stepped back out of sight at the sound a voice echoing through the hall. She listened in to see if she knew who it was and if she had to worry about what they were speaking about.
"You've got to stop." the voice said. Rikka's eyes widen. She did know that voice. That was Hunter! Who was she talking about? "I'm not your trainer."
"Vee..." Eevee whined.
"Eevee!" Rikka exclaimed in a whisper.
"No. Go back to your trainer. She isn't far." Rikka pushed herself farther into the wall hoping Hunter didn't know she was there. "I know you're there."
Rikka carefully moved from the shadows of the hall into the light where she could see Hunter standing outside a room with Eevee at her feet putting her paws on her legs like she wanted to be held. Her admin looked different. She wasn't in her normal outfit, but dark shorts and a tank top. Rikka guessed this must be where her room is located.
"I'm not going to be in trouble am I?" Rikka asked.
"For what? You were having a private lesson with your admin."
"Thank you." Rikka said bowing her head to Hunter.
"Don't thank me." Hunter said with a straight face. "Keep an eye on her and get back to your room. If you happen to run into any guards on the way send them to my quarters."
"Wait!" Rikka called out as Hunter turned around to go back into her room.
"What?"
"Why does Eevee like you so much?" Rikka asked. She pieced together tonight and the first time she met Eevee. The small normal type seemed attached the Rocket Admin more than anyone including the girl who cared for her.
"I don't know what you mean." Hunter answered.
Rikka mouth dropped an inch. What did she mean she didn't know? She stuttered a moment before she answered, "Your Arcanine likes you and Eevee just wants to be with you. The Pokemon respect you. You're a part of the Team Rocket. Pokemon should be scared."
Hunter stayed slient for a moment as she looked at the girl before she said, "I treat them as anyone else would." With that said she turned into her room and shut the door.
"And what way is that?" Rikka asked an empty hall. Eevee responded by rubbing her face against the door before running to Rikka's arms. With no actual answer Rikka silently returned to her room.
Alaric sent his messages before going to the training fields. The place was as dark as the day he arrived. He kept an eye out in case some crazy mutt was going to appear and attack him. As he stepped closer to the center a medium size black figured jumped out and landed in front of him and growled. The dog Pokemon barked and a flame leaked from the sides of his muzzle.
"Stupid mutt." Alaric said prepared to get his own tool ready.
"That is enough." a smooth voice said calling off his Houndoom. The Pokemon turned to his master and sat down to only glare at the boy.
"And who are you?" Alaric asked.
"I've been watching out since your arrival Alaric. You interest me and have the most untapped potential. Surely, the fool teaching you won't see that you're at your prime. We're a lot alike. We have the same goal in mind and hate the same people."
"Not that hard."
"What if I told you I could make you stronger and get revenge."
"I would want nothing more than to put that bitch in her place if you know who I mean."
"Don't doubt me that I do. I hate Hunter as much as you do."
"Then we're on the same page, but don't think I'm stupid to work for someone I don't know." Alaric glared at him. He didn't know him and he wasn't blindly going to follow someone. That's how people got dropped and became weak. That wasn't an option. Other than that, this was perfect he could find out about Team Rocket and become stronger. This was just what he needed. "Alright. I accept."
"Good. I'm Archer." the admin smiled. Finally.
By the end of the search two separate messages went out under a untraceable line. Both started similiar, but certainly didn't end the same.
"No, they have no idea who I am. Just checking in. I have yet to find out any of information, but there seems to be tension among the admins. I am going to investigate this and others leads further. Keep you posted. Coyle out."
"No, these idiots have no idea who I am and won't ever. They aren't as smart as we are. I'm currently attempting to move up the ranks into to access and information and Pokemon we want. Do not worry, I won't fail. Titan out."
