016. [Anonymous Text + Images]

[And tonight, with no fanfare, a text hits the network. Completely anonymous, as always; those who have done their homework would recognize the 'Gear number as the one ascribed to the device that's been showing off several other attacks that have been broadcast to the network.]

Good evening, Johto.

The last few times we've spoken have been a bit unbalanced, wouldn't you agree?


[Ah, there are the pictures. Still images from the attack on the square in front of the Goldenrod Department Store, along with a few other images - the attack on the Kimono Girls and against a few random civilians, the Goldenrod Pokémon Center being destroyed. Little unpleasantries like that. Scroll past them and the text will pick back up, don't worry.]

You've told me so much about yourselves, during those attacks. I've gotten to know several of you quite well, actually.

For the time being, I would like to even the playing field a little. It will keep things interesting, I think.

From the time that you contact me onward, you have an hour to ask me anything you like. I can't guarantee you'll like or be satisfied with the answers, but it'll be better than nothing, I imagine; anything is up for discussion, short of my current location.

And don't worry - I'll introduce myself, just to spare you some time.


[There's one more image after the text ends; it's the sort of picture that usually closes out these transmissions to the network - a shot of the Rocket agent in question from the chest down to about the waist. The room behind him is dark, though it appears to be a meeting room of some sort, if you squint; the Rocket insignia emblazoned across his shirt is clearly visible above his hands, which are obscured by the pale gloves that come with the uniform. Instead of the usual Pokéballs clasped in his hands, however, there's a white card with a few words written on it in thick, blocky writing, as though someone had written the letters and gone over them repeatedly, rendering them unidentifiable through handwriting alone. The words are highly visible, standing out against the stark, glaring white of the card in the flash of the camera:

MY NAME IS SETH.

PLEASED TO MAKE YOUR ACQUAINTANCE.

Did you happen to see the other anonymous message sent out the other day? With some nonsense about stopping the world from burning?

I had a rather enlightening discussion with the writer. Apparently, someone has been leaking my lists to the enemy.

[He doesn't suspect anyone yet, but that's something he feels he should share.]

If I had a name, I'd have given it already. Have you noticed anything out of the ordinary? I've been in Kanto until very recently, so I haven't had much face to face interaction with the Team. Anyone acting paranoid, jumpy, strange?

[Besides Cobra obviously.]

Let me know the second you find anything out. Our anonymous writer even knew the list was divided by priorities and mocked my ability to take out the high priority targets.

Promising? I find a lot of unorthodox things to be promising, but leaked information are treason certainly aren't among them. At least, not when done in a way that doesn't benefit me.

Perhaps you're right. I'm not sure though. Keep your eyes open. If you notice anything strange, let me know. I'll do likewise.

Good. Then that will be all for now. I'll leave you to your tormenting of the rest of the network.
