A couple of hours before the Slateport Invasion.

"This is Agent Striker! In pursuit of the suspect in the skies! We're currently above the Department Store, over!", Thomas called out through the earpiece.

"Copy that!", the voice on the other end confirmed, before requesting officers to fly out over the rooftops.

Moments ago, Thomas caught word that a vandal had been spotted in Lilycove. While this would normally be far from his problem, two things caught the attention of the Interpol Agent. One was the fact that suspect was tagging buildings with Rocket insignias. The other was the fact that she physically attacked the cops that caught her, taking them out before flying off on her Staraptor. So needless to say, as soon as Thomas heard that a possible Rocket was fleeing violently at that, Thomas quickly joined the pursuit.

Thomas flew in behind the woman on the back of his Flygon. The green dragon was happy to be back in action, after what happened in Unova. Though the woman's Staraptor was fast, the Flygon was fast enough to keep up with the large bird. Thomas could either manage to catch up to her, despite the head start she had, or keep up the chase just long enough to get out of the city limits, before attempting to knock her out of the air with Kiryu's Boomburst.
