she was doing some random shit today. tagging buildings with obscene messages. setting fire to trashcans. the usual biz. that's when the call came in. she'd flip to her cell and get the deets. ah, capture some rambunctious Pokemon? sounded easy-peasy! and it paid well too - a bonus.

Porygon were just brilliant little assholes. they wrecked havoc on the electricity that made Rustboro what it was. black-outs were noticed as she strolled along the streets, whistling a tune. the lights flickered on and off. the people around here were crying for their precious technology to work. some even threw their devices - FUN!

but as much fun as that was, she had to wait for someone to come and help her out. apparently, Rocket didn't like to leave things to chance. but... it was also open-ended. like, some League arsehole could also come along. then she'd be forced to disguise herself. bo-ring. she wanted to cause some ruckus.

Skill are honed through practice, senses kept sharp through even the most mundane of tasks. When he's not being sent to take down unruly resistances, Bael finds comfort in busying idle hands. His attention hovers over the message, his attention piqued by the notice of working in a pair. The administration knew better than to partner him up with just about anyone - Whilst his performance wouldn't be significantly hindered by the presence of another, Bael couldn't care less about ensuring their safety nor sanity.

So what then? He turns the corner all too readily.

"Figures." Brusque is his greeting, his gaze dripping over the elusive companion. "Fires only after the Porygons, Nikki."

twirling on the spot, Nikita would face the man she had been sworn to cover in the military business. a cracked grin spread across her lips. "well! that's no fun at all!" she pouts, gesturing wildly with her arms "I was making a distraction - if you must know." sure enough, fire sirens were heard in the distance.

that oughta keep the League dogs off their backs for a bit. no goody-two-shoes around to ruin her chaos tonight. "I guess they sent your sorry ass to cover me, huh?" pivoting, she'd march along the streets again. funny how the tables turned in Rocket. Nikita was just itching to get going and snag some of these Pokémon - oooh! one flew by her head, beeping a cackle.

or what she assumed was a cackle.

"Megawatt - fetch!" she threw a Pokeball, revealing her Manectric. the grizzled hound snarled and took off after the Porygon. laughing, Nikita booked after her partner.

2/5

It is the prerogative of chaos to adorn herself with the ornaments of madness, beauty lying in the scent of gasoline and char that lingers upon her fingertips. While deemed unnecessary, he cannot fault effort that ultimately produces results. He can, however, be openly disapproving of her actions regardless.

A frown tugs at the ends of his lips, a sigh withheld even as he raises an eyebrow - The usual signal that he'd give: Don't breathe a single word about it and you won't have to explain yourself to the admins. After all, anything is considered legal in Rocket's eyes as long as you don't get caught doing so.

Ah, but sometimes he truly doubts that she's listening. Watching as Nikita immediately rushes after a stray Porygon, Bael finally releases the sigh he's been holding, a soft whistle wavering in the passing winds as a Hydreigon appears.

Track.

Megawatt already cornered one. he jumped on top of the Porygon, snarling as the pixel-like Pokemon cowered. Nikita was quick to capture it with a Pokeball before turning to face Bael. "one down" there were at least five of them - four now - gliding around. "this is too fuckin' easy." she was almost disappointed. easy cash was easy cash. she shouldn't really bitch about it.

if Bael's dragon could track from the sky, her dog could track from below. the often bomb sniffing Manectric was useful, so she kept him around. the feds thought she needed a therapy dog. they'd be browning their pants if they knew she was using it to wage war against some League government types. luckily, Nikita was small fry. she didn't really make waves.

not yet anyway.

the canine gave a deep woof before taking off after another Porygon. this time the bugger fought back, using Tri Attack. it hurled the attack at Megawatt, who jumped easily over and tackled. his fangs tore into the Pokémon's virtual hide, effectively making it faint. another ball tossed. "two down! how you doin', Bael?" she threw over her shoulder at him.

3/5
