Another mission. Maybe it was due to that one with Gavin the other day with the Willy Wonka business, but apparently Ash had done good enough to get another assignment. Some supply drop, another Rocket supervising over him, driving into it. Basic stuff, basic stuff.

What isn't basic is how juicy it all is- to anyone that isn't Ashley. The other Rocket was someone named Mint. Doesn't take a Rocket scientist, or a rocket scientist, to put two-and-two together, and while it does bother him a little, he swallows his pride and goes along with it.

He was in a better place now mentally as is. There he was, middle of the early morning, waiting for the Rocket to lead the particular raid. He's outside of Mauville, he's wearing a black jacket, one that helps him shield himself in the night, and the black hair, something Mint hadn't seen, helps the blending in too. He was dressed for camoflage.

With Sunny in his jacket, popping his little bunny ears out, the bunny gets pet, as Ash smiles. This was going to be a fun ride.

Mint is dressed for success, which for him was dark clothes and spare safety vests. Run of the mill construction worker off duty and easy enough to put on and take off. He's blonde again, though it's probably about high time he started varying his choice in wig. [break][break]

The grunt joining him was a mystery, not recognizing the alias or even having met them around. As he arrived to the designated spot with the cargo truck in tow, and hopped out. "Evenin'!" he greeted, voice low despite the chipper attitude. It's more controlled without the alcohol fogging up his thoughts. [break][break]

His smile faltered, however, hand moving to something on his hip as he saw . Red eyes widen despite a hand going for a pokeball already. The smile came back, though sharper for a moment. "Sawyer?" there's a pause as he tried so hard to remember details on him. He was fuzzy, but he was also not a Rocket. At least, he hadn't been when they'd met. Had he lied? Valid. But still kind of off putting. The gears shift in his brain and he lowered his hand before letting out a laugh. "What happened to being a cop?"

Yup. There it was. That uncomfortable edge. Rubbing his face as Mint approaches, the moment the voice comes up, Ashley turns his silver eyes to face Mint, only to have that smile of his to falter, as Mint reaches for a Pokeball.

"Didn't listen when we talked, huh?" Time to bury that thought before it came up agin. Any attraction Ashley had before to Mint had already ended, as he lays it out matter-of-factly. "Not a cop. Just a deserter who came back to Rocket after a few years."

That sums it up, as he crosses his arms. Silver eyes closed, he doesn't look Mint's way. "Feel free to interrogate me if you want, but that's the truth. Theo can tell you himself. Gavin and Jayden can tell you too." He names three Rockets at once to solidify to Mint he wasn't full of shit at all, but as he lets Sunny out of his jacket, the Scorbunny waves at Mint to attempt to deflate the mood. The little bunny hoisting himself on Ashley's shoulder with a not-quite-silent climb up.

Already felt awkward.

"We good?"

"The bits I can remember, you weren't exactly pro-crime either." he said eyeing the grunt as he went through hsi spiel. It sounded practiced, and defensive. He had to laugh. Why'd he come back? "What happened to being a pokemon groomer?" he said with a smile that wasn't intended to be malicious. He'd remembered that much. Pet groomer. Cute image for an ex-bad boy. He wondered if all that went down the drain. [break][break]

He was fond of Ashley, in a superficial way. They'd only met for a few hours and Mint had been well into his cups before the guy took him for shots. He wavesd at the Scorbunny despite his smile faltering for a moment. "If you're going to name drop, you better address them properly. Underboss Beckett. Underboss Merlino. Admin Cross." he corrected, not wanting to witness another grunt having fire arm poitned in their face. [break][break]

"Mmm...pay for ice cream later and I'll consider it." he stated, nodding over at the truck as he checked the time. "We can continue this on the drive." With that, he checks the truck one more time before getting back in and waiting for the seconds to tick down.

"I wasn't." Ashley takes a second and waves it off, eyes not wanting to meet back to Mint's, until Mint gave that same smile. It definitely hit a sour note with Ash, but he turns with a serious expression on his lips. Silver eyes hold his pain effectively enough.

"Changed when my old best friend tried to kill me few months back, my ex-mentor abuser came back in my life." He has his hands in his pockets, as the Scorbunny is giving a happy-go-lucky smile, patting Ash's shoulder as he continues. "... yeah, no. Calling them Theo and Jayden. I'll at least give Gavin the courtesy of Underboss Merlino." Ash doesn't care if he had a firearm to the face. Jayden had already tried to kill him. And he was Theo's problem, so a gun there didn't bother him either. Gavin was the only one of the trio he respected.

Jayden wasn't getting that respect. Theo was earning it back, but slowly.

The demand for ice cream just has his head in his hand, but with a sigh, he nods. "Fine." He doesn't say what he wanted to say. Sass wasn't necessary, and would just burn Ash more. Mint was too nice of a person, so as he approaches the truck, he enters beside of Mint, arms crossed, as Sunny sits in his lap with a very happy mewing.

He doesn't say much else. A heavy awkwardness in the air. Is it one-sided? Ashley isn't sure. He's happier now, but as his silvers look to Mint, he can't help but scoff.

Course he was a Rocket. It should have been obvious. He should have read the signs.

"Everyone's just Rocket these days, huh?"

He doesn't want to be insensitive, but there's a lot Ashley dumped on him in that moment. Perhaps a vain attempt at closing off the conversation expeditiously. Not a chance. Context clues align and Mint raised his eyebrows quietly. Old best friend/Ex mentor. Theo/Jayden. He would sympathize if it weren't for the fact that he expected it from Rockets. Especially . He still remembered the hands on his back slowing their massage in the hot spring as he questioned his loyalty to Rocket for a split second. [break][break]

But he won't press Sawyer. Grinning and letting out a small, 'Yippe!' as he went about his work. "I'll drive slow, buddy." he said to the Scorbunny as he moved the truck forward. "Mmhmm. Disappointed I don't look like the type?" he asked, voice lilting so sweetly in a tell-tale sign that he was annoyed for a moment. But not at them, at himself. "Wouldn't be the first." [break][break]

He gave a glance at him through the rearview mirror before teasing, "Don't pout. It'll give you frown lines." The truck inched out of the route and into the city proper now. Alls quiet so far. Pale green eyes stare straight ahead, idly placing a pair of glasses on his face. The radio on it springs to life with a small report update. "No news is good news..." he muttered to himself.

It's a lot to unpack, yeah. That's why Ashley is quiet the whole time. Even as Mint gives the yippe, that does admittedly make him smile quietly, though sheepish as it is. It was... nice to be honest and talk on equal footing.

Mint's question has him shake his head. "The cop question should have been a giveaway, but people try to make excuses over accepting hard answers." Sure, context matters, but with a shrug, Ashley just kind ofturns his glance back to the front.

That's as much as he was going into. Instead, as the truck is in city proper, all quiet. When the radio turns on, with the line of his frown, he laughs. "It's impossible for this to be awkward, huh?" He almost outright calls it what it was. After all, he still felt a little bitter about how things were left, but Mint was acting like it didn't phase him at all.

Probably because he couldn't remember.

Instead of letting it affect Ash though, he leans against the side. "So, what brought you in, anyways?"

He laughed. He'd probably been a little tipsy when he'd asked that. Then again, he didn't fully remember. Splashfest was a blur. A bad coping mechanism. Ashley, too, had been a victim of it. He'd apologize, but it wasn't like they spoke anytime after. Maybe that was selfish of him. "Wooow, really? Could've been a rich kid with drugs. Or a minor with a fake ID. Occam's razor and all that." he said. But he hadn't. [break][break]

"Projecting, much?" he asked, though he's more teasing than anything. He pulls on the steering wheel just a touch, their truck and low light moving with ease on empty streets. He obeys traffic signals and speed limits. Practiced despite not owning a car. "Doesn't have to be awkward. Just tell me what's wrong." he added, words gentle as they head for the racing gym. Its strange to visit it at night. Last time he'd been there it had been clear skies, sunshine on full blast. [break][break]

"Money." It's a curt answer. A simple answer. An acceptable answer. Now who doesn't want to talk? But Ashley doesn't need to know all the intricacies and feelings and baggage that came with him. Just that he was loyal. And he was good for his word. " ." he added with another laugh. That sauna. Threat on your life seemed to change brain chemistry.

Geez, it's uncomfortable in here. Sunny was a warm spot, but the air is almost like pulling teeth. He doesn't really want to talk, but he was ordered to assist. He needed to. Which meant he had to get over it. So he swallows his pride, pets his Scorbunny on the head, and just answered.

"Occam's razor usually puts the Rocket idea in my head first. Comes with the territory. Lot of good people. Lot of bad people. Every reason under the sun, and they're in Hoenn to boot." Mint's own reason is simple. Money. Ash was projecting, truthfully, and he gave himself the excuses. He thought Mint was a pretty face? Rocket. He meets a cool dude on a beach in Isaac? Rocket. He goes out to lunch with Isaac's friend, Kepler? Rocket. He goes on the beach and talks about Slowpokes with Mars?

Point proven.

Still. It's when Jayden's name comes up, that he shrivels, but it isn't a frown. This time, it's confusion. Mint can see conflict arise in the young man, and he places an arm on the window of the vehicle, head turning it out. "Yeah. Me too. Though I'd blame myself more, personally." He closes his eyes. Flashing back to the lighthouse with the knife. The border dome with Theo.

He laughs. That was weird. Why did he laugh? He hated them both. "He a friend of yours? Jayden, that is?" He wants to ask how he's doing, but that question is lost in his throat.

"Mmm...I don't think assuming everyone you meet is Rocket is the simplest solution, every time." he countered. Not even criminal was affiliated with Rocket, even if he remembered a push for Sootopolis centric ones to join. There's a type of extremism that's associated with Rocket not everyone can agree with. But everyone can find common ground when it comes to money. If they were as numerous as that, then they wouldn't be struggling for power with League, but overrunning it like Kanto. [break][break]

Then again, maybe a factor in the Kanto win was the brutality of it all. He sets aside the thought to ask about later, in another ass beating session. [break][break]

The mood turns more sullen, and he frowns, glancing over at the pair every so often as he slows the truck in front of 's gym. Or well, the hub of it. He let's the engine idle for a moment, smiling brightly despite how difficult it might've been for Ashley to ask. "I consider the first friend I made in Rocket." he said. The awkwardness of their older conversations afforded the Admin a certain type of genuineness to his words and actions. He would fucking kill him, if Mint so much as breathed mutiny to Rocket. But he helped him too. Advised him as efficiently as he could. Acquiesced to his demands. It didn't matter if it was appeasement or not, one sided or not. "And probably the only friend I have left." Perhaps that's a lot to put on another man, but Mint is inherently selfish. [break][break]

He eyes Ashley with sympathy. Rocket is not easy for him, he can tell that much. But he can't comfort him either. He doesn't understand the hurt, and can't begin to imagine their situation. He barrels past it instead, opening the door and hoping out with his case. "C'mon, we're on a time limit." he said, breaking the flow of the conversation entirely and getting to work. He set down his little suit case, unlocking the back of the truck and letting out a sleepy looking Tangrowth. "Linguini, show him what's up." he said, voice low as the pokemon waited for Ashley and Sunny.

"Yeah, maybe I'm jaded." He decides to admit, giving Mint the high ground in their banter. It's when he looks away, that he doesn't feel the mood darken, turn much worse. Instead, he listens to the engine.

He hears Mint give the same response he would have given when he was younger, and he laughs again. How nostalgic. He grabs towards his face, feeling at his forehead. Fuck, this feeling was familiar, and he hated it. The first friend; a cold, conniving killer. A piece of shit. The perfect mold for Kanto Rocket. So why then?

Why did Ashley care?

"Mine too. Back in Kanto."

He doesn't elaborate. He doesn't detail that life. To him, that friendship was dead. Ashley wanted it to go to rot, to burn. And maim it dead with Sushi's passing.

When Mint hops out, so does Ashley, Sunny still in his jacket. This conversation still got way too heavy for him to care about, as he rounds the corner. Only to hear that he named the Tangrowth Linguini, and Ashley's mouth curves upwards. That was the first genuine chuckle he had that didn't feel somber, but almost cheery.

"Sick name." No sarcasm in his whisper, he loved the convention. He almost wants to give the Tangrowth a high five, but Sunny pops out of the jacket onto Ashley's shoulder, holding up a paw of his own.

Welp. High five or not.

"What's fresh, Linguini?" Another whisper, low to not attract attention.

Mint doesn't respond, but he files away that little detail in the back of his mind for later. Kanto. Another one. But Ashley is not as sharp as Jayden. Maybe he was better at hiding it. He puts a pin in it and works on his cameras, opening a little laptop and typing away on the ground. He runs through basic checks. The lenses, the connection, whether or not his little cams are recording properly before they're ready to set.
[break][break]

Linguini meanwhile coos softly, pleased at Ashley's compliment. He lifts an arm gently high fiving the little bunny and nodding form side to side. He's happy to meet people, especially on this kind of mission. Quiet, and without conflict. The Tangrowth did not seem fond of brutality, and the sharpness that was sometimes asked of him.
[break][break]

He gestures at the truck full of wooden crates, covered with loose tarps. Though, a vine moved to lift up one of the edges and show Ashley. A bright red Rocket R is emblazoned on the cargo. But the peak would reveal almost every facet of the wooden crates were like that. He drops the tarp back down before more vines curl out of his body and he begins unloading.
[break][break]

They're close enough to the gym that it would, very obviously, be found as well as cause a scene. Liguini points this point by gesturing before pantomiming a camera with his hands and then a surprise expression. Hand rise to his face as he quietly gasps before dropping the charade and getting to work.

Pleased with Linguini as well, he watches Sunny and the Tangrowth high five, and if Ashley's honest, this is perhaps one of the cutest scenes he has ever gotten to see. A big lug like this guy, and Sunny? Best of friends, Ashley just knew it.

When Linguini revals their plan, the wooden crates with that red R, the cargo they had hauled here, it was clear from Linguini's lovely showing of charades what the intention was. Now this, this was something Ashley could get behind. Making the League look incompetent, and having dealings with the League. He cranes his head to Mint, gives a singular nod, and begins to assist Linguini where he directs.

At this point, he works under Linguini's command, with Sunny helping as well, though... tiny rabbits don't have arms.

Ashley wasn't particularly the brightest around. No formal education makes it hard to really say he's anything BUT street smart. He learned everything from an orphanage when he was young, after all, and left when he had enough with it. Foster care wasn't great for it either. But he knew what he was good at. Every crate he helped Linguini with, he made sure to listen to where it needed to be. He could do this much.

So, he would. But oddly enough, the whole time, he keeps thinking over his friendship of the past. Jayden. It's leaving a bittersweet taste in his mouth, because all he can think of right now... was the happier memories.

Mint gives a grin and a thumbs up at Ashley as he sits on the truck, clicking away at a laptop. It's practiced at this point. He can do it faster than before now. The case of little cameras blink on, various colorful LEDs blinking to show they were ready for action. If one looked closely they might even see the lenses moving and adjusting in a test recording. [break][break]

He doesn't mind the quiet, ears perked for any other cars or pokemon that may come aorund. But it's quiet, and Linguini was capable of doing perimeter checks. Plus they were disguised for a reason. He hadn't given the gym leaders a break, attempting his best as making each of these drops right after another. Weeks of prep and organizing logistics with so he could just dump all of these as quick as possible. [break][break]

"I'm ready, Linguini." he said, waving over the grass type. He looked down at Ashley. "I'm gonna set up these cameras, and they'll videe and send me whatever the gym leader does tomorrow when he finds these." he said kicking his feet. "The supplies are real, courtesy of Wyndon Pharmaceuticals."

Once finished up, Linguini and Ashley having the contraband placed about and at the ready, he ruffles Sunny's head, the little Scorbunny hopping up in sheer delight. Ashley listens to Mint as he explains the techno-babble. Essentially, a recording to hit them as hard as possible from a reputation level.

"Sheesh, sounds like you got this figured out. Kep's kind of my techno-buff." He seems more easygoing with Mint now, leaning against the truck. It occurs to him he doesn't even know the Gym Leader in question. "Who is it for, anyways?"

Aside from Wyndon Pharmaceuticals, who he assumes is a Rocket-controlled organization to make this happens, he doesn't think to ask who this was all for.

Probably unimportant. But he did like to know where his work went in the end, even if he wasn't a technology wizard.
