008. [Anonymous Images + Text/Action for mid-Route 36]

[ANONYMOUS IMAGES/TEXT]

[Today, Johto, you're in for a treat - clearly, someone has decided that there aren't nearly enough photographs shot from hipster angles on your Gear. Don't worry, that will be remedied shortly. After all, a series of images has hit the network this afternoon!

Granted, the images are a bit...unusual. A couple of unconscious NPCs, shot from incredibly close up. A few glimpses of the Rocket uniform on the person pinning said NPCs against the ground for the sake of the images. A set of Pokeballs in gloved hands, the telltale red R visible in the background, emblazoned across the clothing of the person holding them - anyone who's familiar with the organization can infer that said Pokeballs have been stolen.

...oh.

No glimpses of the face of the Rocket who's done the stealing; the images have been submitted anonymously. Accompanying the last image - the stolen Pokemon, the red insignia - there's a line of text, equally anonymous.]


We're still here.

[ACTION]

[A short while after the text goes out, there's another attack.

There's some poor sap of an NPC on the ground, having come out on the losing end of their confrontation with a member of the criminal organization; the Rocket has his boot planted firmly in the center of the NPC's upper back, pinning him down at the shoulders. At a distance, the Rocket looks similar enough to the rest of his organization: dark hair of indeterminate length - it's either very short or tucked up under his hat, it's a bit difficult to tell; long gloves and knee-high boots, pale grey and sharp-looking over the dark clothes; the red R emblazoned over the chest. He's rather thin, and his shoulderspan is incredibly narrow, and there's an odd, shaking tightness to his posture; there are a couple of stray locks of hair at the front that have managed to work themselves out from underneath the hat, falling down into the man's face.

He isn't bothering with the mask issued for official work; his face is visible. Were he in Goldenrod this would be different, but now...why bother? It isn't as though there are usually many people on this particular route anyway.

He's smirking like a madman; his amber eyes are alive, the pupils constricted. Get close enough and you can hear him laughing a bit, though the sound is quiet today. Controlled.

Welcome to Route 36, a couple of days outside of Violet City; Kimblee's been a bit overstimulated lately, that's all, the stress of playing nice for the last two and a half weeks finally getting to him.

It's nice to let some of it out.]

I thought this fact went without saying.

[Though now he thinks about it, you might be onto a good idea there Kimblee. He could really punch things right about now.]

[A message went out to the network not all that long ago asking what to do about an unresponsive travelling partner. Archer recognized the voice as one of the two Kimblee was travelling with and set out immediately. He could hear Emmy in the background of the message, which meant that Kimblee was the unresponsive one.]

[He's currently riding on his Onix's head like a boss and fiddling with a Pokéball. He has his main team of five and the Onix obviously, though he really shouldn't run into trouble. From the sound of it, Kimblee just stopped functioning - he wasn't attacked or anything.]

[Still, it's better to be safe. Archer can't see much from twenty-eight feet in the air, but the Onix draws to a halt a good distance away from the action. Archer sighs and orders her to let him down. Might as well figure out what's going on--]

[He'd recognize that uniform anywhere. Team Rocket. What the hell are they doing all the way out here? From the looks of it, it's just one man. Archer rolls his eyes and goes to greet the other Rocket. The Onix follows shortly.]


Having fun?

[Now that he's closer, he's definitely aware of the laughing. It... It sounds like Kimblee. But Kimblee was...?]

Well, that's quite a dramatic way of getting the job done.

[He was right. Archer quickly hides the surprised expression, focusing instead on the NPC. Well, he doesn't appear to be dead at any rate. Not that it matters; Archer really couldn't care less if Kimblee was out murdering people.]

Well, it's good to see you're doing alright.

[He folds his arms and shifts his weight a bit. This is awkward. He hadn't expected to find Kimblee out here. Now what?]

[Well now that Kimblee doesn't seem interested in antagonizing Archer, he can relax a bit, right?]

There was a message sent to the network a few days ago from Isaac. I could hear Emmy in the background. He was asking what to do when your travelling partner simply stops responding.

[He's silent for a moment before finally asking the obvious question.]

...What happened?

so your team isn't completely useless after all.

[Envy approves of this! That NPC is nobody he knows, and Johto could use something interesting happening.]

Oh, I never said it was a bad thing. I just hope you know what you're doing. If you get caught, you'll only sully our reputation further.

[[Upon seeing the pictures flash up on her Pokegear, Emmy is so angry that she hops off her bike so she can respond properly.]]

Not for long!!

[[It's all the justification she needs to know her choice to join the anti-rocket group was the right one.]]

Exactly. The public already sees us as a joke because all of our operations have ended in failure so far. They don't see us as much of a threat at all. A Team Rocket member trying to stir up trouble only to be arrested in the end will only further bring home the fact that we're not to be taken seriously. But if you really know the police as well as you claim, then I suppose I have no reason to worry.

True, have been doing little since train fiasco.

Is shame, had fun on that trip~

Other than posing for camera do you have anything else in mind? Perhaps I can... Assist in some manner.

I could say the same to you, you know!

[[Oh Mr Kimblee, if only she knew....]]

You're nothing but petty little criminals hiding behind anonymity! It's disgraceful!

Where talents lie?

Where ever they need to, but have been told am rather good at getting I want, regardless of what stands in way of it.

Interrogation is also something of a hobby of mine, though a not entirely sure how useful that would be... and since guns and wars seem all but useless here, the rest of my skills are somewhat redundant.

Also, am much better showig talents than talking about them. Am rather modest in that regard~
