Ezra never did like Slateport City. Despite his sudden spur-of-the-moment decision to move to Hoenn, he absolutely despised water. Especially SEA water. Not only does it stab at your eyes and throat like needles piercing your entire body, but it also always manages to seep into the fresh air around it, contaminating the entire area with unimaginable levels of salt. Yet, despite this aversion to the ocean, here he was, walking alongside it's roaring waves, barely able to avoid it's shimmering gaze.

Gliding his hand nervously over his slicked back hair, he continued to pace up and down the docks, searching the ground for Arceus knows what. Occasionally he would attempt to readjust his black rimmed glasses, only to be reminded of their vacancy. This quick realization would induce more levels of stress within him, thus continuing the cycle of anxious pacing and infrequent out-loud thoughts.

Tick tick tick.

The clock continued to move forward. Each second brought him closer and closer to his possible demise; thoughts of the various possibilities would sometimes even play in his head. Most involved his death.

But this is what he wanted - what he worked for, really. Every painstaking second spent gazing through binoculars was for this; every second spent following men into rough looking bars was for this; every second spent memorizing the addresses of dangerous strangers was for this; every second spent learning how to pick locks and evade low levels of security was for this. To finally meet with Team Rocket and infiltrate their operations through becoming one of their slimy little grunts.

An alarm suddenly brought his attention to his phone.

2:30PM

"Oh mother of Wooloo..."
Taking one last moment to gather his composure, the man began to make his way through the bustling port and towards one of the nearby buildings situated about a block from where he was having a mini panic attack. As per the instructions he received, he circled behind the building and search for a singular white door with gray frame. With balled up fists, he confidently rapped on the door. Three loud knocks. Fake it til you make it, as they say.

The door unlocks.[break][break]

Bars of metal slide out from their slots with a clunk. Then, seemingly of its own accord, the entrance slowly creaks open. The dilapidated interior of a former fish-packing warehouse is revealed. Boxes, now like melting piles of cardboard, litter the floor.[break][break]

To Ezra's immediate right, there is an office. Cracked windows offer a look into a cove of scattered papers and eviscerated electronics. But there is no sign of the man the young lad has come to meet... yet.[break][break]

"... Who are you?" A voice inquiries, its echo traveling all throughout the warehouse. The source of it remains hidden somewhere further. "You're not the one we asked for... but I see you've come alone."[break]

A ripple of shivers ran down his spine. This place, which was a presumedly desolated warehouse, was the perfect setting for one of those stereotypical murders. Ezra could already picture the shot’s layout: him hung up from one of the building’s steel beams, dead. Two detectives would be circling his remains with lit cigarette buds littering the ground around their polished dress shoes. One would probably angrily curse out Team Rocket and declare his undying effort to throw them all in jail. It would the perfect scene, really.

Returning to his dim reality, Ezra took in a deep breath before taking a step forward. Darkness enveloped him and the grotesque smell of rotting fish almost immediately assaulted his nose. “Yeah, I’m not.” His curt response hid the quivering boy inside. Whether his sharp tone was enough to mask the absolute terror in his eyes was up to the mysterious man behind the veil.

”But I’m here for the same reason.” Ezra took a moment before cautiously approaching the office to his right. He made sure to only go as far as permitted, which seemed to be a few feet from the entrance at this point in their conversation. He hoped his ability to get in contact, even through this method, was enough to show he has some merit in his abilities.

How curious.[break][break]

Such an act was just as liable to be punished as easily as it could be lauded. Though this was nothing new: plenty of would-be members endeavored to impress early on. At least he had been saved the trouble of keeping the other one out of the organization.[break][break]

Getting caught and having your meeting hijacked was a sure-fire way to keep Team Rocket from recruiting you.[break][break]

"The man you've replaced," The voice continued as a swarm of mice-sized Dreepy (INFESTATION) slowly emerged from the surrounding walls and ceiling. "What's become of him? And what is your name?"[break][break]

An opportunity to lie was a trap for the future-- and the subsequent reveal of true intentions. The miniscule Dreepy put the pressure on as they chittered closer to the stranger from all sides.[break]

Ezra gulped. The sudden appearance of the dreepies made him sick with apprehension. It was clear that this was a mere intimidation tactic, but the intentions didn't dispel the fact that it was extremely effective. "Him?" He approached the question cautiously. In truth, he hadn't done anything to the man besides swipe the ticket to this meeting. Violence was still a very off limits method for the reporter. He was a writer, not a fighter. Still, he knew 'nothing' would be an insufficient answer. Or, at least, that's what he thought.

It was at this moment his façade began to slip. Ezra was no stoic, nor could he ever pretend to be one. Especially when put in tense situations. "I...I would be surprised if he hadn't left town already." A nervous chuckled struggled out of his lips. With nothing but anxiety pumping through his veins, his mask of fearlessness was struggling to stay on. "He'll meet his fate soon enough." A half lie. While he attempted to sound like one of those nasty criminals from his favorite detective show, the reality was that all he did was spread a few webs after swiping the slip. You can learn some crazy things through stalking someone. Things that could get you killed if found out about - worse than killed in some spheres. All he had to do was leave a note indicating that some of that kind of information might be leaked soon.

Running his hand nervously through his slicked back hair, Ezra took another shaky breath before speaking up again. "I'm..." It took a moment for him to recollect his thoughts. What WAS his name going to be? "...Raz."

So the man remained alive.[break][break]

The lad wasn't some homicidial maniac. He didn't seem like the type, anyway. But, even so, the admin planned on confirming the answer on his own after this encounter. Manipulators and liars were naturally attracted to an organization such as Rocket.[break][break]

In an almost perfect radius surrounding the young man, the swarm of miniature Dreepy stop. Their constant rolling over one another, and chittering, continues as they stare at the target in unison. If there's a command they're waiting for, it doesn't arrive... yet.[break][break]

Just as the tension seems to raise its peak, however, a shadowy portal opens up against the north-facing wall of the warehouse office. With little warning, a Dragapult flies out from it mid-croak, gliding past the front desks and causing a whirlwind of papers. Moments before it collides with Raz, the spectral dragon sharply swoops upwards and seamlessly disappears into the ceiling.[break][break]

What remains in its wake is the shadowy portal... now slowly closing after a hooded figure passes through it, taking his place in front of it. Garbed in a black cloak, boots, and a kitsune fox mask, the admin adresses his guest with a slightly muffled (and certainly altered) voice. Even so, it carries a tinge of Galarian.[break][break]

"You may call me Admin Fox," He says, producing a sheathed dagger from inside his cloak. "And if you're intent on going any further with this endeavor... then you must be tested first." Effortlessly flipping the sheathed dagger with his fingers, he steps forward to offer it (handle first) to Raz.[break][break]

The name was almost certainly an alias. The hesitation gave it away. But the admin didn't blame him, really. After all, he was the one wearing a mask and calling himself 'Fox'.[break]

Blinking, Ezra stared back at the horde of Dreepy, unsure of how to react. Again, it was all such an obvious intimidation tactic, but for someone as normal as him, it was super effective. Was his answer insufficient to the recruiter? Did they want him to go into more detail? Thoughts rattled in his head as his legs trembled at the sight of the Pokémon looming closely in front of his eyes. “I-“ Before he could continue, a portal etched itself onto the north facing wall of the warehouse, releasing croaking Dragapult.

The sight of this large Pokémon flinging himself towards Ezra nearly brought a blood curling scream out of his quivering lips. Nearly. Thankfully, right before the Dragon’s appearance, Ezra had taken the initiative of biting down on his bottom lip. By the time the Pokémon had disappeared into nothingness, a stream of blood had already begun to swirl in his mouth, leaving a bitter taste of iron.

That’s when a male figure erupted from the darkness. Donned in all black and a Fox mask, he approached Ezra with a dagger, at which he soon offered the trembling man after mentioning how he had to “prove himself”.

All color drained from his face. This was the moment he feared the most. The dreaded evaluation of his worthiness. With a shaky breath, he reached out and accepted the sheathed dagger. He gulped. ”Alright. I’ll...” He really didn’t want to say it. He really really didn’t. ”I’ll do whatever it takes.”

Names could be easily fabricated. Even appearance could be changed on a fundamental level. It was in the proving of one's self that truths were laid bare. Though a lot of that depended on the keen eye of the overseer, and the guile of the participant should they try to cheat the system.[break][break]

Every recruitment, every encounter, was a challenge that Admin Fox took upon himself. It was a dangerous game, and the context of it scarcely presented itself in full at the start of it. But he had plenty of experience with it-- on both sides of the proverbial table, no less.[break][break]

The masked man nods at Raz's shaky approval. "Very well." Turning to look at the swarm of miniature Dreepy that surrounded them, the mysterious admin uttered a single word afterwards. "Hier." And summoned their creator: the Dragapult that had disappeared into the ceiling earlier.[break][break]

Poking its horned head out from above, the spectral dragon seemed to know exactly what to do from there, opening its maw and leaving it hanging as the ghostly Dreepy swarmed inside it. Once it finished gulping up said swarm, the Dragapult dove down and out of the ceiling, entering the wall behind Raz next. In its wake, it left a second shadowy portal, about seven-feet tall in height.[break][break]

"Enter the portal," Admin Fox speaks. "We start your test now."[break][break]

| | |[break][break]

[after entering the portal]
[break][break]

The black miasma that engulfs everything finally gives way to a different sort of darkness as you exit the portal: dank, subterranean, and marred by the harsh fluorescent lighting of a single bulb hanging above. As soon as you step through, Admin Fox follows in tow, and the portal closes behind you. The Dragapult is nowhere to be seen.[break][break]

At the corner of this shadowy basement, there lies a table. And, upon that table, an unmarked brown paper bag carrying... something. The walls have been scrawled with markings chronicling the passage of time. The floor reeks with the stench of sweat, copper, and... other unpleasant aromas.[break][break]

Whatever is in the bag doesn't appear to be wet. But, for a second, you think you see it squirm inside. It must have been your imagination. The entrance you've come from may have disappeared, but there is a wooden staircase leading to a white door behind you.[break][break]

"Take the bag," The masked man speaks. "Don't open it."[break][break]

A mixture of awe and terror swirled in his eyes as he witnessed the Dragapult's obedience to the man's single trigger word. The way it dove straight down and swiftly created a large gaping portal behind them was both haunting and intimidating, as it served to be another reminder of the severe power difference between them. The reporter ran his forearm across his forehead, wiping the drops of sweat from his brow. Then, with shaky reluctance, entered the portal as the man had directed, knowing that there was no other alternative left for him.

Darkness clouded his vision briefly, making it feel as though all the world's light had been gulped up by that Dragapult, leaving behind only his withering thoughts to cling onto for support.

His brown eyes flicked from left to right, hastily examining the rooms entirety. What a fucking horror show this was. The walls were tall and suffocating, the air was thick with dust, and there was a pungent smell seeping out from the floorboards below. And, to top it all off, there was a single wooden table situated near the center of the room. On that table laid an unmarked brown paper bag. Ezra's eyes fluttered back to the masked stranger as he desperately tried to read SOME kind of emotion passed the fox-like shield. This person, whoever he was, had to be human, right? 'Fuckfuckfuck.' He thought to himself as the man barked out another command. Never could he have imagine his night would devolve into this. Not in a million years.

A heavy breath slithered out his mouth as he is forced to face the nightmarish paper bag once more.

He took one step forward.

Then another step.

Then another.

Eventually there was nothing but a few insignificant inches between them. As Ezra stretched out his arm, he noticed something squirm from inside the bag. But, as he already figured out, there was no other alternatives right now. He shakily grabbed the bag from it's top and turned back towards the devil himself, a frown pressed against his face. "Wh-what now...?"

The masked man points up.[break][break]

"You take it upstairs. Room 217. It's on the second floor." His hand drops, and he stands to the side beside the stairs. A simple assignment. At least, seemingly so. Not one that necessitated great skill... but one that demanded strong mental fortitude.[break][break]

From what he'd seen of 'Raz' so far, Admin Fox wasn't convinced he'd pass it. But he'd seen larger miracles before. And, in the end, failing or passing this class would mean a lot more to the youth than it did the masked man.[break][break]

"Mind the patrons." He nonchalantly adds.[break]

The fox pointed upward, indicating both Ezra's next destination and task. Any extra movement or time wasted would push the ticking time bomb in his head further towards explosion, so a curt nod was all he could offer in response to the man's directive. No more, no less.

Ezra's brown eyes flickered towards the staircase leading upwards. He gulped. Then, with a heavy foot forward, he began to trudge his way across the room and then up the stairs, paper bag in tow. Sweat trickled down his face in miniature ravines. Every few seconds or so, whenever his willpower weakened, his eyes would drift down towards the bag. It was oddly heavy for something so assumedly small. Scarily heavy.

Reaching the top of the staircase, his left hand shakily reached for the door handle. It was rusted and worn out, carrying a glint of old age. He jiggled the nob softly, then attempted to push it open with his knee.

It didn't budge.

He tried again. Nothing.

A ragged breath escaped his chapped lips. He could feel his own heart pulse in his chest, the pace slowly growing faster with each attempt. His eyes briefly steal a glimpse of the paper bag again. Why was it so heavy? What could be inside? He forcibly returned his gaze to the door, his grip tightening, knuckles turning white. He attempted to push the door open once more, this time with a considerable amount of force. The door begrudgingly creeks open, it's hinges howling out in pain. With another breath he moves forward and into the unknown.

Polished granite tiles, sparkling chandeliers, and exotic furniture was what his weary eyes were greeted with upon exiting basement. It was a hotel lobby. Unfamiliar faces freckled his surroundings as the lobby was bustling with chattering guest and overworked staff. No one paid a single mind to him or his paper bag.

The oddly heavy paper bag.

The squirming paper bag.

Ezra shook his head. There was no time to waste - his objective was clear and his time was ticking. So, he pushed himself forward, no clear direction in mind. His eyes, both wide and dilated, searched the area as he moved. It hopped from face to face. Each time he did, it felt as though their eyes would slowly begin to meet his, piercing both his heart and soul. Were they staring at him? Did they know why he was here? It shouldn't matter. The paper bag shouldn't matter. Was that another squirm or was that his own heart beat rattling his entire body? Forward, he had to move forward.

"Excuse me..." He would murmur softly as he crept across the lobby. His eyes flickered up; there was the stairs, placed right beside the elevator. So up he went, each step growing harder than the last, as his body trembled fiercely. "Room...Room 207." The higher he climbed, the more the flames of fear licked his mind, draining his mental state.

Eventually he made it to the door with the bag still in hand. The damned paper bag. The eerily heavy paper bag. The awfully warm paper bag.

There's a faint murmur of conversation on the other side of Room 207's door– but the voices sharply hush at the sound of a knock on the door. For moments, nothing else seems to occur. Then there's the sound of footsteps approaching before the door opens.[break][break]

A man in a sharp brown suit greets with a debonair grin. His tanned, bronze skin glistens under the artifical lighting, and his teeth shine like blindingly iridescent pearls. He smooths his slicked back hair with one hand, extending the other for a handshake. "Oh, we've been waiting for you," He excitedly remarks, gesturing for the young man to enter. "Please, come in!" He hollers. as if greeting a hero.[break][break]

Inside, Ezra finds a rather unassuming hotel room. It appears like any normal hotel room, really. It even had some of those shitty, stock paintings hanging up on its walls. It was slightly larger than average, he might think. Or, perhaps, seeing the queen-sized mattresses separated so far apart from one another only made it seem that way.[break][break]

There was a bathroom to his immediate left as he entered, and a closet to his immediate right. What likely captured the entirety of Ezra's attention, however, was the sight of a dozen or so seniors sitting at the edge of the mattresses and on chairs scattered around the room. Cramped, but seemingly unperturbed by the fact, they turned to smile at the newcomer and greeted him with nods and waves.[break][break]

The man who had invited Ezra in would close and lock the door behind him, then moved to grab an empty chair at the corner of the room. "This is the young man I've been telling you all about!" He announces, all grins and pep as he lifts the chair carefully over to the center of the sitting circle they'd created. "Please give him a warm welcome: he's traveled far to be here."[break][break]

As the seemingly charismatic stranger pats the chair, gesturing for Ezra to sit, the gathering of old folk all take turns in vocalising their pleasure to see him there and welcoming him into their group. The stranger takes a step back, waiting for the young man to take the seat he was offered and, conveniently, blocking the exit with his broad-shouldered frame.[break][break]

"Please, introduce yourself."[break]

 Hazy, fuzzy thoughts rattled in his head. None of them had a clear destination or purpose. They were just there, floating back and forth, occupying his mind in an instinctive effort to retain Ezra's sanity.

"Oh." With a solid plop, the word fell from his mouth like a ball of drool, both heavy and moist. There was nothing else worth saying. Nothing worth communicating. Besides, the infectious fear had already numbed his body and mind, making the process of replying harder than it should've been. A task more daunting than it's worth. So, rather than echo back the man's enthusiasm, Ezra quietly entered the room, his head kept low.

That's when his noticed the various wrinkled faces that filled the room. Confusion overtook the waves of fear inside him as he questioned every inch of these scene before him. Sure, the man who greeted him inside was odd himself, but he held not even a candle light to the sheer absurdity that was his audience. His eyes hurriedly looked back towards the exit only to discover the man's convenient position in front of it. Of course. Ezra was a mouse stuck in a labyrinth set up by the masked fox. There were only two set options left for him: find the cheese or get discarded.

He took a seat.

"Um. I'm..I'm.." Ezra attempted to abide the man's command, but he was struggling to cough them out from the pits of his stomach. They felt lodged deep back in his throat, completely out of his reach. Open, close, open, close, open, close; his chapped lips were stuck in an endless loop. Until they weren't.

"I'm...Ezra...?"

The charismatic man guffawed. "Ezra, my boy! Why so quiet? These good folk here are happy to see you– aren't you all?" He adds, turning to look at each eager nod and wrinkled smile that followed his statement. One of the old men went as far to shakily raise the air tank he was hooked up to via his nostrils. Another was seized by such a delighted grin that his dentures almost slipped out/[break][break]

"Hear, hear!"[break][break]

"We've been waiting for you all morning, dear."
[break]

"Well, get on with it! I don't want to keel over 'fore it happens!"[break][break]

"Don't rush the poor boy, Ernest, he's clearly exhausted!"
[break]

The granny suddenly sitting next to Ezra pulls out a hander kerchief from her purse. Gently, and with a vague sense of familiarity, she proceeds to pat his forehead dry of tiny beads of sweat. Her eyes are caring, but there's a gleam of something sad deep within them.[break][break]

A large hand suddenly sets itself upon the lad's right shoulder: a firm, intimidating presence in the guise of something reassuring. "Well... go on and show them what you've got in that bag there, sport." The man's smirk feels like radiator, brimming heat down the back of Ezra's neck. All eyes have been on him since he'd entered. But, suddenly, each gaze intensifies.[break][break]

They're all waiting for him to reach into the bag with rapt attention and anticipation. Even the sweet granny beside him has her eyes fixed on the crumpled brown bag, unaware that she's gripping the slightly damp hand kerchief in her hands like a stress ball. None of them seem to notice the lurking phantom in the upper-corner of the room behind them: a strangely discolored... Dragapult?[break][break]

Meanwhile, should Ezra gather up the courage to open the bag and stick his hand in, he would pull out something that was perhaps slightly unexpected, given the prior stimuli:[break][break]

A chalky stone, smooth to the touch.
