Several hours later they sat in the mess hall around a table that had a color coded map of the museum on it. "Ok from this map and my own observations I have deduced that the best way in is threw the skylight here." The sergeant pointed the stick he was carrying at a point in the direct center of the central dome. Jorrin nodded he had considered robbing the museum when he had been in Pewter city but the hole incident with Brock's sister had kind of forced him out of town. "Once we're inside Corporal Smith will use his extensive skills with a dart gun and his black belt in Karate to immobilize the guards, anything wrong with that?" Jorrin raised his hand "Yes Corporal Smith?" "Umm… I don't have a black belt nor have I ever used a dart gun." "But they said you have the skills necessary to disable the guards in the museum!" Jorrin paused "… I do but I'm just not into martial arts or dart guns." The Sergeant frowned "Ok then you have a better idea?" "I have a Butterfree and a Jigglypuff available to me I can slip past the guards and have Jigglypuff use the museum com system to knock the guards out while Butterfree pumps in sleep powder threw the air conditioning ." The sergeant paused mid frown "Ok that's actually a good idea except-" "And our guys can take a large dose of Awakening before starting the assault so they'll be immune at least until the guards are down." The Team Rocket sergeant was rapidly rethinking of few of his prejudges about kids today at this point "Is that all Smith?" Jorrin nodded "After that we will go as a unit to each of the four targets in the museum-. Yes Corporal Smith?" Jorrin had raised his hand mid-sentence "Why sir? Why don't we simply deploy shape appropriate pokemon like Machop and Meowth?" The sergeant paused again "Ok that's… That's… That's an excellent point Smith you receive an A+ for noticing that obviously intended blunder." Jorrin nodded "So our targets are in the Archeology department, The Geology department, the art department and-" He paused for a second "apparently our corporal would only join us if we hit the Natural history department." "Ok so our first target is an old Kanto Empire Era crown." He pulled a picture of it out of a folder he was carrying. It showed him grinning with his thumbs up in front of an old looking ruin covered crown. "Security around it includes bullet resistant glass, Surveillance cameras, laser grids, and auto turrets. So Corporal Jackson will lead a team of four grunts to deactivate the laser system and cameras with his Magnamite then your jobs will be to slip past the auto turrets and use these-" He pulled out a strange looking circular device "To carefully- Yes Smith?" "Why are we sneaking past the Auto turrets?" Jorrin asked calmly. "So we don't get shot." Said the Sergeant blankly he was really getting sick of this young upstart. "Why don't we simply smash them I'm yet to see an Auto turret that can stand up to a Graveler or an Onyx, or better yet why don't we hack them using a Porygon or a Porygon 2?" The Sergeant stared at Jorrin. Jorrin stared right back "Porygon are immensely hard to get-" The sergeant began. "We have several hundred in celadon city." Jorrin interjected. The sergeant glared "Why are you trying to sabotage my plan?" He snarled. Jorrin's eyes flashed "I'm not. I'm simply trying to make sure that we all get threw this in one piece." Jorrin responded coldly, there was murmuring of agreement coming from the other corporals and the grunts. The sergeant glanced around before deflating. "Very well where are we going to get an Onyx or a Graveler?" "I will have access to a Graveler as soon as the Rocket techs can get them away from Oak and as for Onyx we have a cave full of them about a half a days walk from here give me a day or two and I can find one." The sergeant nodded "Well we'll just use the Graveler then." He said then he turned to the other members of the strike team. "After you get it your to use the Abra you were assigned and teleport out." They nodded "Anything to interject Smith?" The sergeant asked Jorrin shook his head. "Ok then the second target is a collection of evolutionary stones not the crap they sell at the Celadon city department store but the real stuff." He pulled out another picture. This one showed him with his arms wrapped around the shoulders of a severe looking woman in front of a display case full of stones. One of the corporals raised his hand "Yes Corporal Jackson?" "Umm… If you don't mind sir what's with the pictures?" The sergeant glared at him "That's none of your business corporal!" He snapped. "Yes sir!" The corporal seemed to be barely controlling a smirk. "Corporal Parker will be leading this group and your job is pretty simple seeing as the defenses around the stone will be mostly wiped out with Corporal Smith's Butterfree/Jigglypuff joint attack. You're to run in use a device to cut around the glass then use your Abra's telekinesis ability to take the stones and place them in your bag then you're to teleport out." Parker nodded "Ok for the art department we are after a famous picture painted by Leonardo De'Johto he pulled out another picture that showed him laughing with two young children on his shoulders in front of a painting that showed a mysteriously smiling woman. "I'm going to lead a team of four grunts in and rip it off the wall run, run away and hope for the-, Yes corporal Smith?" Jorrin took a deep breath "For starters how do you know it's a real painting? I suggest brining a Smurgle and using it to tell if paint or printer's ink covers the surface, Secondly there are probably motion sensors placed behind the painting that will probably have the entire Pewter city police force on us like stink on rice, Thirdly I have know doubt there's motions sensors and cameras all over the place in the art hall I suggest using a weather controlling pokemon like Castform to fog the room. Or a physic pokemon like Kadabra to create an illusion. This is a priceless work of art you're going after I suggest you move carefully." The sergeant nodded slowly "I suppose your right I had better do that." "Now for the final item I understand Smith is going to lead a team of four grunts to steal five fossils from the natural history museum I'll let him lay down the plan seeing how he's so good at questioning other people's." The sergeant smiled and handed the pointer to Jorrin. "Go ahead." He said with a smirk before sitting down. Jorrin stood up. "Ok. I'm not very familiar with the defenses of the museum," (At this point the sergeant smirked) "but common sense tells me that we are going to be dealing with the same thing the guys in the archeology department are dealing with. So I'm going to move accordingly. Before we move in our job is to use a reasonably powerful electric type pokemon to overwhelm the circuits of the video cameras then to deal with the laser field I'm going to use a weather changing pokemon to call up a fog so we can see then it will take simple acrobatics to get threw. As for the motion sensors I believe that I can use a Porygon to simply overwhelm them with illogical data. Auto turrets can be dealt with by my Graveler. Once all the defenses are disabled we are going to move in and take down the bullet resistant glass by using my Growlith to melt it carefully. Once that is done each of us is going to take a fossil place it in our bags then use an Abra to teleport away. Any questions?" Corporal Jackson raised his hand "Yes?" "Why are you only a Corporal?" Jackson asked "Because that is the highest possible rank they could start me out with. Now I think the sergeant will be the one to split up the teams or should we have a middle school volley ball arrangement?"

Officer Inspector Jenny had just finished her patrol and was sitting at her desk dinking a cup of coffee and reflecting how it seemed to be beyond the skills of most of the police core to do even this simple task of making a decent cup of coffee. When one of the officers knocked on her door, "Come in." She said calmly. The door opened to admit a nervous looking young man with a small goatee "What is it?" Jenny asked coolly, "Chief Carter wants to see you ma'am he says it's urgent!" Said the man nervously, "At ease officer did he say what it was about?" The officer shook his head "Only that you should go to him at once." Jenny nodded "Very well." She stood up and walked around her desk and out of the office. The officer followed her "Have you heard ma'am?" Jenny glanced at him "Heard about what?" She asked curiously "There's been some sort of disturbance at the pokemon tower I heard the chief talking about it." "Do you know what's happened?" She asked anxiously, "No ma'am but I hear it's bad." At this point they reached the chief's office. Jenny knocked on the door "Come." She opened it. The police chief of the cerulean city police force was sitting at his desk directly across from the cerulean city gym leader Misty. "Sir I heard you called for me?" Jenny said, the chief nodded "Sit down." He gestured at the chair next to where Misty was sitting "Ok officer it has come to I and to leader Misty's attention that there has been an unusual amount of team rocket activity in and around our fine city." Officer Jenny nodded "What about it?" She asked "Well we heard about the disturbance on the bridge and I think it would be best to hear from you exactly what happened with this… Jorrin character," Officer Jenny took a deep breath and told him. Misty nodded "I think I might know who you're talking about Brock ran into someone of that description down near Pewter." "What did he do?" Asked Jenny curiously, "Apparently Brock's sister." Said Misty grinning "Oh, What's on his record?" She asked, the chief pushed a key on his computer "A number of disturbances over the years but nothing more than you would expect from someone with his background." "What do you mean?" "He grew up on the streets of Saffron in the bad part of town. The police chief there was sure he was going to be a hit man for one of the local gangs but at about age fifteen he seemed to turn around, gave the police chief reports that led to the capture of one of the leaders and a large number of dealers. Used the reward money to buy himself some basic supplies hasn't shown up officially until he was given a loitering ticket by you sister in Viridian." The chief shook his head "and then this… I don't know what to make of him but from both your and the Saffron police chief's reports he's already dangerous and as long as he stays with team rocket he'll get more so." Jenny frowned "Why?" "He's smart and really knows what he's doing as far as I can tell he never does anything without reason." (I think it would add to the story to say that Jorrin was at this point roasting marshmallows and making S'mores on mount moon) "But this is all useless talking about him he needs to be stopped, him and the rest of team Rocket need to know that Cerulean will not stand for their lawlessness. So your job is simple. You and leader Misty here are goanna lead a team of the combined forces of her pupils and our officers I'm going to send you the location of their base and you're going to come down like a ton of bricks. Is that clear I want the entirety of team Rocket in this area arrested give them the chance to surrender then you know what to do." Jenny saluted "Yes sir!" "Very good make your preparations in the morning." The chief grinned "I want you to make sure no Rocket will ever show his face in Cerulean again."
