Cielo port was hustling and bustling as usual. People and their pokemon companions docking boats, coversating, and offloading cargo. Many different trainers existing in coherence minding their own business.

To the far end of the port a large fraitor came in with a strange insignia painted on its side. The insignia was a Maroon colored dragon type pokemon, much like flygone, but with more furrouse features. It must've been from a neighboring region. Fraitor pulled into the port and tied its ropes down and some folks wearing all red with M insignias on their red bandanas got off. Some port officials came out and the nearby office checked the paperwork that one of the guys dressed in all red handed to them. After a few signatures the guy in all red motioned to start unloading the fraitor. Taking large brown crates filled with potions, evolution stones, and TM/HM discs. Taking about four and a half hours to offload all of the main crates the docks had cleared up. Most of the people had gone at this point and the sun began to set.

Five trucks decked out in black. The fraitor had a few crates left bringing them down and opening them open for the men that hopped out of the trucks. The men that hopped out of the trucks wearing team rocket outfits.

"Is this all you guys have this week? Team Magma's been slacking. If you guys don't come up with better numbers next week we are gonna start doing business with Team Aqua. Anywho, Joan take care. Fox does want to see you at the TR headquarters in a couple of days." Asked one of the Team rocket majors as he handed twelve briefcases to one of the guys dressed in all red that seemed to be the head of the crew.

Joan the team magma major took a second before securing the briefcases. Thinking to himself why the leader of team rocket would want to talk, must be important. He just nodded as he went back to the friator. Going into Ceilo City he grabbed some things for his family back at Furliel town.

While in town he saw the local gym was busy today even for a night run. Usually it closed at midnight though they were still open. There were a few trainers conversing outside of the entrance.

"Dude, Dorian the Rock leader gym leader has been on a roll. No one has been able to even get to his chimchar all day. His Cranidos has been putting in work." Said one of the trainers to the other.

"He's got this whole place rocking today. I don't think he'll stand a chance against my Fralagator." Said the other trainer before they entered the gym.

This peeked Joan's interest. He hadn't thought about gym badges in months considering the fact he had three wasn't bad. He could go ahead and get his fourth while he had the time. Jumping inside he saw a guy with pink hair that was short and spiked wearing a slick brown button up and blue jeans. The pink haired guy stood next to his Carnidos as he took out another trainer's pikachu. The guy began boasting that he took out another trainer on a win streak today. The guy looked familiar to Joan.

Joan sat and watched as the pink haired guy took out trainer after trainer, his famed Carnidos not sustaining much of any damage. The announcer had gotten tired of calling the pink haired guys name in victory.

"Dorian wins again, that's a fifteen streak today. Amazing job. That's all for today folks. Come back and try again tomorrow." Said the announcer as the lights of the gravel filled gym.

Joan waited at the entrance as Dorian was feeding his Cranidos some food.

"Yo it's been a while Dorian. Didn't know you became a gym leader. To think so long ago you and your eye were getting our gym badges." Joan said, walking up to Dorain.

"Woah Joan, you're looking good these days. Much has changed since then. How's the family?" Dorian said, jumping to his feet excitedly.

"They're doing well just picking up a few things for them now. Anywho are you still looking for your brother in team Aqua?"

"That's great, I'm glad they are doing well. Yeah I haven't had much time to look due to the Gym being so busy."

"I don't mind keeping an eye out for him. Got to get back to my job. Great seeing ya." Joan said before going back to the docks.

Making it back to the docks he decided to head to the Team Rocket headquarters.
