“...Looks like I got lost again.”

Milo sighed. The gloomy man had eyebags so wide they looked like smiles under each eye. He had a... vague idea of where he was going and what he was doing. Mint's induction into Rocket was starting to take, but for now he had to play dumb, and measure himself against anyone he saw.

And that meant... that redheaded woman nearby. The cave systems they were all trapped in could've held hundreds. After his cargo mission with Luka, Milo was dying to talk to another person.

“Your eyepatch suits you. It's so cool~. Let me tell you... when I was on crutches, it was much harder to own it.”

He slowly sauntered over, digging a pokeball out of one pocket. Milo smiled, slowly letting a Pumpkaboo pop out. The big gourd wiggled in his arms, like a toddler insisting on being set down. Eventually he relented, setting the thing down.

"I'd love to play with you, for a bit. Atleast until one of our friends shows up. I'm Milo, by the way."

Thank god that cargo job was over! Good heavens- she could finally find solace in the blessing known as silence. So quiet... such a stark contrast to that loud ass motherfucker of a grunt. She was a grunt to, but at least she had some... grace to herself.[break][break]

So she thought. With how absorbed in her thoughts she was, Akira had been a tad too clumbsy. Before she knew it, the sound of a stranger complimenting her would cause her to whirl around on her heels.[break][break]

...Oh shit, oh shit. A league member?! Shit- she was doing so well, fighting was the last thing she had any interest in. "I-" She tried to interject, to maybe talk her way out of this. But with how tired the other man, Milo, looked... she had a feeling No would not be an option here.[break][break]

Come on girlfriend, get your shit together. Quickly her surprised expression would dissolve, procuring the mask of a ruthless woman. "...I wouldn't be wearing the eyepatch if I "owned" it." She said with an icy cold tone. She... didn't actually lose her eye. Heterochromia was too much of an identifying trait. But that wasn't the point. "But fine, if you wish to fight... I won't go easy on you."[break][break]

Yeah, she was totally fucked. Grabbing one of her pokeballs, she activated it- thus summoning forth an elegant looking umbreon. It would make a light grunt of a noise, perhaps a sigh of relief for being freed. Then with little time to wait, "Umbreon, use Confusion Ray!" immediately, the pokemon would begin to charge the ray, before barking and unleashing the move.

“...Love the way you snapped at me all of a sudden. It's kinda cute.”

Milo smiled, throwing his black coat to the ground. Underneath, he wore a student's white button-up, black tie, and black slacks. If Akira looked closer, she could see a sleeve tattoo depicting roses and thorns.

He stuck his tongue out at her, and ran a hand through his hair. He stuck his chin out, trying to catch the ambient light along his face. He then put his hands on his hips and leaned in, swinging his hips a little. Letting his inner bad-bitch out.

“Wish to fight? I'm bored. Well... if you insist...”

He smiled. His Pumpkaboo swayed back and forth with confusion, and tripped over its own feet, losing a turn. Milo leaned in, lowering a hand to pat his baby's head and reassure her. He then... alluded to a prior criminal record, Rocket or not.

"It's okay. Whenever you're ready. --Who are you fighting for, if you don't mind me asking? If you were a fed you would've got me already, so it's safe to ask... I think."

And here she thought all the psychos were in Team Rocket... standing before her was quite the outlier for a League Member. Not to mention all those tattoos.. could kids just get tattoos whenever they wanted?[break][break]

Akira would grit her teeth as the Milo continued to talk at her. He gave off such conflicting vibes. Wanting to play, not confused when a fight begun. How was that an adverse reaction? He was a league member wasn't he? Or- at least she thought that was the case, she hadn't seen him among the other grunts in the organization.[break][break]

"I'm not sure what you mean by that," she said instinctively, responding to his question. "But if you're apart of the league- well, I've been told to defend the cave from the likes of you. Don't take this personally-"[break][break]

Widening her stance, Umbreon would react in turn. Despite the pokemon's fatigue and half-bean form, it would also prepare to attack. "Umbreon, use Dark Pulse!" With a sharp inhale, Umbreon would puff out their chest and charge an attack, before releasing a shot of dark matter at Pumpkaboo.

“...Woke up on the wrong side of the bed today? Well... Ha~ah? You think I'm in the League? Some kind of fed?”

Milo looked astonished for a moment, before tilting his head from side to side, popping his neck. He looked to his phone for a second, and didn't see any cell reception.

Akira gritting her teeth just made him want to double down. To be more of a thorn in her side. He smiled. Frankly, Mint owed him one, for dragging his feet on getting him in. Milo didn't even look the part of a made man.

“I'm... My application is on someone's desk right now."

"And I know you Rockets build pipe-bombs, but I think I can bring some... jouissance to the table. Like maybe... We could hit some poses. A little... prepare for trouble and make it double. You and me.”

Pumpkaboo flinched, and got knocked out before it had a chance to do anything. Milo called his Zweilous, his two-headed dragon. Both heads growled, first at eachother, then Umbreon. Zweilous opened with Dragon Breath, trying to stun the thing. He then rolled his eyes at her.

"I'm taking it very personally, actually. I'm gonna call my brother from another, my breastie, mint frost later. I'm gonna cry about how the grunts treat me."

"...Today being a horrible day would be the understatement of the century," It came out like a grumble more then anything, but it was a response to a question. Despite the fact, Akira would narrow her eyes in distain. Was he a spy? A pending member of Team Rocket?[break][break]

She.. couldn't just trust him over some fluffy words. "We're in a dark cave crawling with both League and Rocket members, and I've got orders to follow. Sorry if that hurts your feelings." she huffed. "And if what you're saying is true, well- I have no interest in rising in the ranks. That's a problem for tomorrow's me to deal with."[break][break]

Meanwhile, as Zweilous's stun would land on Umbreon. While it would damage the pokemon, Syncronize would active- rendering the other pokemon stunned as well.

“...That's a shame. I hope you get some rest soon.”

Milo couldn't believe what she said to him. She had some attitude. And he couldn't help but smile. Finally, someone he could go tit for tat with. He rolled his eyes, and looked down his chin at her.

“Could be a problem for today-you, if I had cell reception down here."

"I'm waiting for a chance to tell a higher-up about a shipment. I peeked in a crate or two.”

Zweilous was lagging, considerably. Umbreon might even have a chance to react first, but in either case... Zweilous started thrashing around with Outrage. Milo then decided to test her. To test him too. Is he really nuts? He threw his swiss army knife to Akira, and whistled.

"If you doubt me... don't doubt yourself. Act now, or live with regrets. I won't hold it against you."

Peaked around at some crates? What- what crates? Akira wasn't very high on the intelligence ladder as a Grunt. But if there was something important like supplies around, she felt like the grunts would have been ordered to guard it...[break][break]

Perhaps that was apart of an assignment she hadn't been given yet. She was, after all, trying to get out of this fucking cave. "-Is that so? Uhuh- Well, I suppose I'll have to deal with that then."[break][break]

Meanwhile, Umbreon would let out a squeak as the already stunned pokemon would get ran over by onslaught. It was clear that Umbreon was on their last leg at the beginning of the fight. And, when struck, would be thrown back into the cavern wall. Yet when it should have been knocked out, struggled to stand. She'd then take a hefty huff and- with a bark- would begin to glow as it activated Moonlight. When the turn finished, it seemed they were somewhat better- but it was clear the move didn't do much for them.[break][break]

Meanwhile, as the knife was tossed towards her- she allowed it to hit the ground in front of her. What? Did he just- want her to stab him? Sure she was fighting a losing battle but...[break][break]

...An idea came to her. Quietly she would kneel down to grab the knife. She would then begin to walk towards him, uttering a commanding tone: "-Give me your phone."

Milo rolled his eyes. Maybe he hadn't told anyone yet about the shipment with Luka. Could be a perk of not going public yet. He was a public figure, certainly, but it's been a while since his band was on the radio. He could remember whining out Everything Sux like it was yesterday.

"Find someone else. We need everyone in on this before I spill. You get to know that I was tasked with transporting two crates. Felt heavy. Coulda been bombs, other forms of contraband.”

Zweilous felt stiff, but as was the case with every Outrage, the thrashing continued. Milo considered for a brief moment whether or not they'd get overheard and found out. In either case, he was ready to go out fighting everyone in sight.

Akira then approached him, knife in hand. As requested, he turned his phone over to her. He then decided to be coy and play with her a little more, a smirk on his face.

"Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm. Can't you take a guy out to dinner first? Didn't think you had this in you, either. I'm impressed."

Umbreon would let out a ruff of annoyance as the Zweilous came at her with another Outrage. In a tactical motion, instead of attacking she would leap up onto a large rock as a means to create distance between them. She would then let out a bark, as if taunting it to try and climb up as well.[break][break]

Meanwhile, Akira would swiftly take Milo's phone from his hand as it was given to her. She seemed somewhat surprised by this, however. Didn't he anticipate what she was going to do? Wordlessly, she switched the knife out in her hand, while gripping Milo's phone in the other and...[break][break]

*stab* *stab* *crack* *crack*[break][break]

It only took a few moments for Akira to stab the shit out of Milo's phone and break it into bits, before letting the tarnished device and knife drop the ground in front of him. Armed with a deadpan look, she did not seem like she was playing along with his big. "Sorry, I'm not cheap enough to just stab someone for the hell of it." She said in a sharp tone. "But at least that'll take care of the communication worries..."

Milo cut Zweilous' rampage short, and called his beloved Liepard. The cat growled as it came out, circling the two humans. She then turned, standing between the two of them and her Umbreon. This switch-out gave Umbreon first move in their battle.

All the while, his phone was smashed into a million pieces. He raised a brow, and had to put his foot down. Playtime was over.

"You're gonna hand me your phone and password.”

Milo then reached for the collar of her shirt, and tried to pull her closer, so the two of them were face to face. He then whispered, looking her dead in the face as his eyes widened, forming a devilish grin. This side of him hasn't been out to play in a while.

"If you do, I'll drop the matter entirely. If you don't... I ran with some fiends when I was younger. We're gonna steal you piece by piece. Your credit card, your laptop, every part of your car down to the serial number. Your outfit's going up on depop."

Despite the predicament she was in, Umbreon was quick to realize that her trainer was in danger. However, the rampaging Pokémon below it had been swapped for an agile opponent. Releasing a bark of annoyance, Umbreon would fiercly charge down the rock and jump at Liepard and bark out a mighty Dark Pulse- aiming to harm and flinch them.[break][break]

Akira, however, was not prepared for her shirt to get snagged- being drawn forward towards the man she'd just broken the phone of. She wouldn't yelp, but her teeth would visibly grind together to express distain. "-So thats what makes you mad?"[break][break]

Deep down she knew she'd fucked up big time. She wasn't the type to stab people for the hell of it- that was just cruel. But how did he have a worse reaction a phone being broken? If anything, she was doing him a favor. If he'd met any other Rocket they would probably... kill him or something. But if she handed him her phone, well... she wouldn't have a way to phone for assistance when she got out of this fucking cave.[break][break]

Silence would ensue between them. And, with a false smile: "Bite me, bitch. You're not getting shit from me."

Milo gritted his teeth. Wrong answer. Frankly, if she stepped on his sneakers, he would've had Liepard attack her.

Her disdain for him egged him on. Frankly, he enjoyed others' unrest. He hasn't felt a high like this since he cajoled his girlfriend into doing a robbery with him. Milo had a toothy grin.

"What makes me mad is disrespect. We're gonna be coworkers soon. Remember that.”

The Dark Pulse landed, flagging down the otherwise agile Liepard. The psychic wave gave her a pounding headache. However, Umbreon rushing in let Liepard lunge, and try to get in close with Play Rough. All the while, he stared her down.

He was gonna justify this internally, and forgot that it ever happened. He had the urge to snitch, but it'd slip his mind. Milo... isn't that bright. Crafty, but not that bright.

He then threw his foot at her ankle.

"Shoulda killed me when I gave you the chance. When I'm admin, you're out. Changing oil at a mechanic shop."

Umbreon would let out a yip as Umbreon was tackled by Liepard, thus being stopped from helping their trainer. The duo would tumble against the cavern floor, before Umbreon would try and snap it's jaws against Liepard's neck and unleash a confusion ray.[break][break]

As for Akira- she was slowly yet surely beginning to lose her patience with this guy. Talking so much shit for a little game of his, throwing what she thought was a tantrum over a broken phone. Considering in the last 24 hours she'd been shot at, chased after, and targetted... This was just childsplay.[break][break]

Akira was not an evil person. Quite frankly, she tried to avoid violence when she had to. But she wasn't a pushover either.[break][break]

"ACK!" Akira found leg staggering as the man kicked her in the ankle, almost stumbling to the ground if it weren't for the grip on her shirt. Through gritted teeth, Akira would swiftly raise her hands to grab Milo's shirt as well, "Shut- the Fuck- UP!"[break][break]

It broke the rules of combat. But as swift as the ankle kick came, Akira would raise her leg and kick Milo in the balls.
