This is a mistake.[break]
A major fucking mistake.[break][break]

Wasn't joining a criminal organization supposed to toughen your heart, blacken your soul and eventually give you the ability to drink the blood of your enemies without a second thought. Sure she hasn't been a part of Team Rocket for very long, just short of a month or so. But shouldn't joining be enough to screw up her moral compass enough that she wouldn't feel obligated to save an unconscious eleven year old from the clutches of a ravenous band of human-eating sentient trees?! Excuse me?! She hadn't even meant to travel up to Mt. Pyre, the kid's mother, who happened to be a client, had begged her to find him after he failed to show up for the evening. They were supposed to fit his Shiftry with a new prosthetic leg to replace the one it had lose while protecting her trainer for a giant toxic bee. He had apparently promised his mother that he'd be home just before Syviis would arrive so he could talk his Shiftry into letting a stranger touch it.[break][break]

She'd arrive but he never showed up that afternoon.[break][break]

Syviis had no intention to really look for the kid. The mother made a nervous comment about how 'kids these days always getting caught up in their adventures' and how she dearly hoped that 'he hadn't wandered up to Mt. Pyre to visit his friend' while knowing that there have been unsettling rumors about people who go missing in the idea. 'He had a Sandslash' his mother had unconsciously told her while rubbing away at the same glass she'd been cleaning for the past thirty minutes. 'It had gotten struck by the same attack his Shiftry had, you know. It... It wasn't just its leg that gotten caught.' She never did fully elaborate on the severity of its wounds and Syviis didn't need to hear it. Instead she had pretended that she had some business to take care of up at Mt. Pyre anyway and had offered to go looking for her son while up there. [break][break]

What business did she have there?[break][break]

None. None at all but the woman's relieved face suddenly made it her business.[break][break]

Apparently joining a criminal organization didn't stop one from fretting over young trainers that get in over their heads when they decide to go on dangerous adventures. She had convinced herself on the climb up that she was doing this so that she could guarantee her pay. She already found herself working on a free for PokéTarzan so she couldn't possibly afford to lose a commission that could be easily rectified by finding some kid. She could even charge a bit a bit more for finding him. It was supposed to be so easy.[break][break]


To think that she was actively hiding in the nook of a mountain with an unconscious boy clutching an empty pokeball pressed against her side. They had hidden themselves within, from what she could only assume now that she noticed all the bones on the floor, one of the Abomasnows' dens. The nook, which really is just a large cave, hug against the side of a cliff that had a very nasty drop to the ocean below. The path that led to the cave, that had nothing to stop a traveler from plummeting into the ocean should they slip of a sheet of ice, was the safest way to get down to them outside of jumping down from the cliff above. Syviis could only assume that that's the reason why they haven't seen an Abomasnow in a bit but this is one of their dens. Sentient tree dens... Why the fuck do trees need a cave to stay i-- Anyways... She refused to believe that those things weren't aware of the walking talking snacks hiding in one of their hideouts. [break][break]

No way, there has been too much walking above them for it to be a coincidence. What were they waiting for? For them to pass out from the cold or is it because of the very irritated Cinderace laying at the front of the cave. Agitation fueled embers flickered across his fur like dew drops before disappearing into wisps of smoke. She's honestly never seen her Cinderace this angry and she can only asssume it's because that even after her Lopunny's Healing Wish, he still hadn't been able to ward off all of the Abomasnow that had ambushed them. It wasn't his fault. Neither of them had suspected the severity of the situation even after they stumbled upon the kid and the glacial remains of his Shiftry. 'Fuck. Right. Not getting paid for that anymore, am I?' She chuckled a very abrupt chuckle that has her trying to clutching her side.[break][break]
Right, the fall that had them finding the Abomasnows' den in the first place still wasn't sitting well with her. Her luck just kept getting better huh?
