[attr="class","anyapost"]she twirls a finger around long brown longs. black wire-rimmed glasses rest atop her nose, dotted freckles smattered carefully over her nose and cheeks. she wears a professional brown suit, white blouse, yellow tie. her hair, a wig of expensive make, curls over her shoulders, changing the angles in her face. 

she didn't recognize herself when she left this morning. 

she flicks her cigarette to the ground and twists her heel over it, withdrawing her lions into their balls. she's a good ten minute walk from the meeting place and she takes her time leisurely, taking the time to admire other passersby enjoying their days. 

when she comes across the aforementioned bench, both men are seated at it. she stifles a snort. the two stick out like sore thumbs, clearly uncomfortable with the other's presence. so she walks onward, hands in her pockets, and stops short just by the lakeside. 

she withdraws a picnic blanket from the purse at her side and settles down on it, following up soon after with a thick paperback. as she thumbs through the pages, she drops a pokeball at her side. 

a fennekin pops out and looks up at her inquisitively. she flicks a finger; another ball falls out. envy joins her fire-fox friend and the two tumble over one another in a playful scuffle. they tumble over anya's lap and then chase each other near the bench. 

moscow drops something from his mouth in front of the two boys as he passes. two bluetooth earpieces. 

anya waits.

[attr="class","anyapost"]the poochyena would make better use of itself as a meal for her lions. this much she thinks when it remains blatantly oblivious to the danger it was (and still could be) in. it's not honorable courage, either. it truly is ignorance. and why its trainer--champion stone, she comes to realize--continues to bother with such a creature astounds her. 

but she imagines it has some level of worth to the man. she can make logical sense of that much. 

he's cautious, overtly so. she can appreciate that. cold recognition flits under the surface of her gaze, smothered by a false warmth. the corners of her eyes crinkle as she dimples a smile and shrugs her shoulders. 

"they were actually rescues. my father actually rescued them from poachers in kalos." a lie. 

she sucks in a sharp breath and then juts a hand out. "where are my manners? i'm molly. and i mean, of course, you're...well, you know who you are. it's an honor to meet you."

[attr="class","anyapost"]it's a vacation spot, a halfway marker, nothing more than a pit stop at the edge of the world. people come and go and all around are unfamiliar faces. it's why, when she chooses to meet with others from her line of work, she opts to make her way all the way out here from the mainland. 

and, given that she prefers to travel by boat rather than on the back of her newly acquired talonflame (for the very reason being that she's a new addition), these people she's meeting with must be worth the headache they've already caused. 

she sips hot coffee from a to-go cup, mouth full of caramel, and then takes a drag from her cigarette to wash it down. shiva and kain sit at either side of her, tails tucked neatly around them, and they appear statue-esque. 

her contacts know where to meet her. they'll make their way together into the park first, find a small bench, and she'll pass them by and decide if they're worth her time.

[attr="class","anyapost"]shiva and kain have had their fill of hunting these past couple of weeks. they've been accompanying her on these little excursions, and on the road between her soon-to-be-abandoned lab and the new place. so they're a bit more docile as they walk, halfheartedly sniffing at the pokemon trails alongside the route anya walks along. 

still, they've been given their commands. they'll run after something if need be. 

alexander, and india for that matter, are lucky that the lions aren't hungry, for their first instinct would have been to rip the poochyena apart. instead, they back away from it, hackles raised in warning, sharp teeth glinting as they hiss. 

anya almost lets them have it, but then her gaze flickers. something else crashes through the bushes, following. she subtly holds out a hand and her pyroar back down.

she laughs, a tinkling cherry-sweet laugh, and waves flippantly, smiling warmly. "yes, yes. my lions are a bit skittish and this little guy gave them quite a scare. i'm assuming you're his trainer?"

[attr="class","anyapost"]she crushes a half-finished cigarette beneath the heel of her scarlet shoes. curled hair, immaculate perfection, graces snow white cheeks. there's a slight pink to her nose, spreading the more boxes that she carries. she wipes at the thin trail of sweat above her brow and stares down at another box. 

fingers itch. her lions rip into a fresh kill in the other room, their open quarters. plush pillows are stained with blood. they needn't come with the move, she reminds herself. it's still a waste. 

she leaves them to her device, clacking footsteps echoing in the empty room. they're several floors below the true basement of a chemical supply company. electricity hums; the lights flicker. it's been her home for some months now. 

her current experiments will be the last they need to move. that's where she'll need his help. she grabs a clipboard, plucks a silver pen from her desk and tucks it behind her ear. double doors yawn open before her and a couple of cages start rattling. she ignores them in favor of the pokemon sealed in a glass box. 

it turns its head weakly towards her as she approaches. its bindings tighten as she unclasps the sliding glass door and inspects its severed arm. she takes out a tape measure and then jots a note down in her book.

[attr="class","anyapost"]she keeps her head down and it's paid off. now that silas has fallen, that rocket has 'disbanded,' names of the defected are on the league watchlist and, without protection, they're being hunted down like prey. 

her name is kept from public records; she's just another pretty girl with cherry lips who makes a living off strangers in the night. she's debated putting up a storefront, joining the working class so that smuggling her goods might be easier, but she's had to reluctantly downsize enough already. she's in the midst of moving all of her things to a more secure location. no doubt the league is going to do a clean sweep once all the rest of the defected are captured and slateport's officially retaken. 

some of her things are in transit at the very moment, but the going is slow. can't attract too much attention at once. so, rather than twiddle her thumbs, she's out exploring

and finding new subjects for her research.

[attr="class","anyapost"]she mulls over the information, nodding quietly. later, she'll scribble it in a notebook at home, make a note to cross-reference it with her own observations as soon as she acquires its lesser form. shiva and kain smell the oncoming wild pokemon as well, but they step back at anya's command, watching as hades catches a stunky with swift precision. 

color anya impressed. 

its partner, a cacturne, tumbles out from the bushes and raises a spiky arm. anya cocks her head and snaps her fingers. shiva stands from her seated position, tail flicking. fire erupts from her jaws; her mane burns intensely, embers sparking. the cacturne is consumed. it squeals, writhes, and anya ends its pain just before it goes limp by throwing a ball. 

"like those stories of old," she says as kain fetches her the still ball and brings it to her waiting palm. "of the men who changed forms when the moon was full. i've always loved those silly stories."

lips twitch in a smile. "a play on your name then? i was told you favored spiders."







catching cacturne! for science

[attr="class","anyapost"]several office chairs sit empty before her. she keeps her looking subtle, but still she observes as she sits, distant gaze flickering only to take in his features--several decades older than her, pale eyes, sharp nose, simple black glasses. she commits these features to memory; he's fairly plain, as far as men his age go, and she supposes that that's the point. their job isn't to stick out. 

"good evening," she says as she leans back in her chair. she folds her hands in her lap, crosses her legs. the air crackles with the tension of strangers. 

a smile curls at her lips and she laughs a teeth-bared laugh. cherry lipstick resembles blood. "so it's true then." she waves a hand. "do what you will up on your thrones. i care only about my funding and my resources and that they'll still be secure after these management changes."

she purses her lips, extends a hand to rest it on shiva's muzzle. the lioness purrs and leans into her palm. "how may i be of assistance in these regards?"

[attr="class","anyapost"]she welcomes change. warfare, slaughter, has been the same for a millennia, and she's grown bored with the current state of affairs. if silas hadn't been so easy to manipulate and take advantage of in his manic state of mind, she'd have turned to other outlets a long time ago. the world is an unforgiving place and there's many who would reward her methods.

she raises a cigarette to her lips, inhales, leans back against a dilapidated building just inside the confines of slateport. what boats haven't been ransacked by unchecked grunts drift against their bindings. 

she flicks ash. her pocket buzzes. unknown caller. she raises the phone to her ear, inhales more smoke, half-closes her eyes as she listens. 

a smile curls at her lips. 

this is evolution. 

she's an inkling as to who's on the other end of the line. as the call disconnects, she thinks back to the footage she'd witnessed several days ago, the public outcry following the aftermath of the goliaths that now threaten their world. 

rocket is gone, promise the league, and we will turn towards this new foe with unwavering resolve. we will protect you. 

but now that silas has been disposed of, the metamorphosis has begun. they've only jump-started the next chain of events. warfare, slaughter--the tactics never change; people die with bullet holes in their chests, choked by psychic forces from armor-fitted pokemon. 

it's brutish, boring. but now rocket has a clean slate. now they can fester in the darkness like they're supposed to. cockroaches don't die so easily. 

she flicks her cig to the ground, clears her throat. the statuette lions at either side of her blink, shaking out their coats as they rise to follow her. they arch their backs in unison, stretching with jaws open, tongues lolling, teeth glinting. 

she boards one of the boats, sniffs disdainfully when a half-drunk grunt is woken from his slumber. "i's all over, lady. we're--hicc--eughall finished. i's done." 

"kain, dear."
the male pyroar lunges, grabbing him by the collar of his shirt and dragging him overboard. 

"w-wait, i can't swim!"

she turns incredulously as she twists the boat's key (withdrawn from her pocket) in the ignition. shiva's jaws snap around the ropes tethering it to the dock. he flounders in the water and anya laughs. "then what the fuck were you doing here?"

the engine sputters to life and she heads off. the twin pyroar stare at the wake she leaves behind. fingers slip under the waves. 

x x x

the arrangements are as promised, though she's not surprised. she takes the elevator to the 26th floor, as per his instruction, hands lovingly scratching at the backs of her pyroars. they purr affectionately, though fall quiet as the elevator doors click open. her heels clack against the floor. 

1209 looms before her and she knocks twice before entering. the lions follow behind her and she shuts the door.

[attr="class","anyapost"]she's aware that someone is following them only because of shiva's grumbling yawn. the lioness' ear flicks; anya eyes the movement in her peripheral, but otherwise doesn't react. the pokemon will protect her should this person mean her harm. 

and, in slateport, surrounded by people who don't know who she is, that's happened more than once. she's been warned to stay in her quarters, to keep to herself, or at least wear the rocket symbol, but she sees no point in uniforms, in the militaristic order of things. 

the man has stretched himself too thin. it will only be a matter of time before plans reach their apex. 

her gait slows when the stranger makes herself known. she turns, looking surprised, and it takes her a moment to recognize the beast from the files she's studied. ah, the wolfe

she looks curiously at the lycanroc by her side. "nor am i," she says; red ringlet curls grace her cheek as she tilts her head. "though i see we both crave companionship on this lonely night."

shiva and kain sit in unison at either side of her. "tell me, what determined the shape in which your lycanroc took upon evolution?"
