She met with in a Sootopolis venue that was at once discreet, upper class, and decidedly intimate. One of the high rises that had been erected in the wake of the Starlight Casino's success, it oozed a sense of richness and refinement that Elisabeth had become familiar with in their shared home region of Kalos.[break][break]

Here, however, the trappings of power settled differently around Elisabeth's shoulders. Rather than being the pretty ornament draped on her cruel husband's arm, she found curious eyes following her rather than the man escorting her inside. Silver tongues murmured their appreciation for the underboss's patronage as she seated herself for their extravagant meal, the faintest tremor of fear lacing through their praise.[break][break]

Elisabeth may have rejected the titles of nobility she had been born and then wed into, but in Sootopolis, she felt as powerful as any queen. Rocket had seen to that as much as her Avatarships had.[break][break]

"Thank you for making the time to come to Sootopolis," she opened, though no true gratitude reflect itself in her words. This was a pleasantry that conversation held them to, nothing more. "I understand that visits like this are difficult for you, given your high profile."[break][break]

Carmine eyes flashed with open curiosity, awaiting for him to deliver on the fruits that such prestige had offered him.

During the first few weeks of Julien's arrival to Hoenn, he spent his time establishing himself within the embassy. He met with each member of the Council, as well as Head Professor , to get a feel for the people with whom he was expected to work. He hired a new assistant and signed on to explore one of these "Ultra Space" realms he'd heard about.[break][break]

Only after sorting through that business did he reach out to the local branch of Team Rocket. And, to his immense surprise, he found a familiar name among them: .[break][break]

She hadn't used the name Fiorelli when they'd met, of course. Fiorelli was the name attached to a family in debt, to a wine vintage fallen in reputation, to the masterful skill and desperate actions of the late Georgiana.[break][break]

No, Lisa had been a Bortiforte back then. It seemed the company and her late husband's estate hadn't been the only things she'd shed before disappearing from the public eye.[break][break]

"Difficult, yes, but easier than one might think," Julien replied, lifting his glass of wine but not yet drinking from it. "Diplomatic immunity and all."[break][break]

He sipped the wine as servers brought out the first course of their prix fixe dinner. The dryness and flavor were exquisite, matching his expectation of fine dining. But perhaps that should not have come as a surprise.[break][break]

Julien kept his expression mild, the corners of his mouth curling in a slight smile.[break][break]

"I'm glad to be having this meeting with you, Miss Fiorelli," he said. "It's been a few years since our last encounter, and I bring news from Kalos that might interest you."

"Ah, yes. Diplomatic immunity. A neat little trick, that, isn't it?" she said, and a sardonic smile stretched across her lips. As he raised his glass of wine, she did likewise, lifting it in toast. "Santé. To escaping unwanted attention."[break][break]

To most, this flavor of wine would be exquisite. To her, it tasted like a pale imitation of what it ought to be; equal parts nostalgia and the immunity her own patron granted her contributed to that disappointment.[break][break]

Still, an echo of pleasure was better than none at all.[break][break]

"It's been a few years, has it?" she repeated, letting the drink swirl within her glass as she contemplated this information. She'd met so very many dull, boring, Kalosian noblemen over the past decade, it was unsurprising to realize this man might have been one of them. The extent of their relationship she sincerely could not recall, but at this moment, it hardly seemed to matter.[break][break]

She held the power between them, now.[break][break]

"Much has changed since then. I'll admit, I'm curious to learn how Kalos has changed since then, too."

Julien was expert enough at reading others that he caught the emptiness in the way she repeated his words. Perhaps Lisa did not remember him after all. Granted, she held no particular place in his heart, either. But she had been the center of gossip and scandal, and he could not forget the way they'd torn each other apart in their entanglement.[break][break]

Their situation was different now, of course. She was an underboss within Team Rocket, wielding power as easily as she held her fork. He was merely a contact for them, a conveyer of news and money.[break][break]

And so Julien launched into an account of major events from the last three years, those of interest to the leader within Rocket. Politics, business, social issues. He spoke as he would with any colleague of esteem, keeping conversation interesting without being too open in his demeanor.[break][break]

However, as the night progressed — and as he drank more wine — he found himself more and more relaxed. Lisa had not changed, not really. Perhaps her personality was more pronounced, but Julien ascribed that to the lack of a husband holding the end of her leash.[break][break]

No, the man who held the leash this time was , and he did not seem to care about Lisa's sharpness as Édouard had.[break][break]

"All that said, is there any topic that particularly interests you?" Julien asked. They were well into their entrée by then. "Something closer to home, perhaps?"

Most of the night progressed as anticipated.[break][break]

The exchange of information was a tidy trade, and of the underbosses in Rocket, she was more uniquely positioned than the others to discuss matters that required a degree of social finesse. It was the warfare she excelled in, if not the warfare that Kanto had bred into and .[break][break]

Hers was a lack that proved more dangerous than the one those men possessed, if she were to be honest with herself. Even so, a strength was a strength. She would acknowledge hers when it suited her.[break][break]

That being said, she hadn't anticipated for to acknowledge her tonight beyond her own basic competencies. When he opened the door to other information regarding Kalos, she blinked at him with a moment that revealed her own naked surprise, before her previous nonchalance returned.[break][break]

As much as she tried not to care about matters of Kalos, it was difficult to shake the ghosts of one's past entirely.[break][break]

She lowered her fork and knife to the table, then brought her napkin to dab at her lips as she considered the opportunity laid before her.[break][break]

"I would be remiss if I didn't inquire about the present state of your family, the Demassieux," she began, laying the groundwork for her following query. "In truth, I am curious about the state of the remaining blue bloods of Kalos. Such as the L'oiseau."[break][break]

Though it was positioned as a general pulse check of the status of Kalos's greatest houses, Elisabeth found herself privately intrigued by the state of 's family back in Kalos.[break][break]

He never spoke of them in part due to the secrecy of his lineage, although she knew of his brother, Agustin L'oiseau. That man was married, she knew, and if she remembered correctly had children of his own. He was the heir apparent of Barnaby's family, while Barnaby...[break][break]

She didn't know what his family expected of Barnaby, in truth. Though she recalled how he had confessed to her he, too, would ascend in Rocket if given the chance. More than that, she recalled what he had told her a year ago: "I was born a wolf. I didn't have a choice."[break][break]

A smile smoothed any tension the question might have invited.[break][break]

"I'm sure it's all the same tawdry gossip as always, of course."

Waiters took away their dinner plates and refilled their glasses of wine. Julien did not touch the latter at first, instead folding his arms across his chest as he considered what to share with Lisa. She likely did not care about his own family, but her mention of the L'Oiseau was too specific.[break][break]

"We're doing fine, thank you," he said, deciding to get the formality of discussing his own family over with, first. It was nothing she couldn't learn on her own while reading the latest news. "The Duke of Snowbelle recently celebrated the birth of his third child, a healthy girl." Julien's niece.[break][break]

A different set of waiters arrived carrying the final course of their meal: an assortment of desserts. The platter set on the table bore several ice cream flavors, fresh fruit, and two squares of chocolate fudge brownies.[break][break]

Julien finally took a sip from his wine glass. "As for the L'Oiseau, they were lucky enough to avoid being implicated in a massive journalism scandal. They've benefited greatly as a result, actually."[break][break]

He picked up a spoon and scooped some raspberry chocolate ice cream for a taste.[break][break]

"Baptiste L'Oiseau was seen at a charity gala among the aristocracy recently, some say due to a new political patronage. Others say he's merely become that much more influential."[break][break]

All the while, Julien watched Lisa's face for her reaction. He did not know what the L'Oiseau family meant to her, but perhaps her emotions might reveal some information.

Elisabeth's mother-in-law had taught her one lesson, against her will, many times over: to show emotion is weakness.[break][break]

The late Dowager Countess Bortiforte and her son had wielded any such weakness that Elisabeth had dared to reveal to them -- whether it be hate, pain, confusion, or some traitorous, fleeting happiness -- in so many cruel, unthinkable ways. Necessity had taught her to furl up like one of her rosebuds, refusing to allow the truth of her emotions to peek through.[break][break]

Yet despite this, so much of who she was flourished in the depths of emotion that she'd sought to bury beneath the surface. Her Avatarship to Wo-chien was proof of that.[break][break]

"That sounds like him," she said of 's father idly, leaning back. Fingers restlessly drummed against the armrest of her seat, before her carmine eyes flickered up to meet Julien's. "You recall my relationship to the media and the press during my time in Kalos," she said in simple explanation. "Call it a morbid reciprocal interest."[break][break]

She'd learned how to hide behind half-truths, giving enough of what was true to hide what she sought to keep buried in the darkness.[break][break]

"The conversation goes both ways, you know," she added, tilting her head towards him. "Is there anything you wish to know of Hoenn? You'd be surprised how well-connected some of us in Rocket have become."[break][break]

Herself included.

Julien tilted his head in acknowledgement of Lisa's explanation, though she had not needed to provide one. He remembered the rumors circulating tabloids and reputable news sources alike, especially after Édouard declared his wife mentally unfit.[break][break]

While the desserts were decadent, and while Julien did have a sweet tooth, he put down his spoon. A few bites were enough; his Kalosian sensibilities prevented him from eating more.[break][break]

"The Kalosian government assigned me to this Arceus-forsaken region to understand what, exactly, is going on here. To prevent what happened to Galar from happening to Kalos," he explained to Lisa, expecting her to know already.[break][break]

After all, news traveled quickly — and gossip even moreso.[break][break]

"I've already met with the League Council and offered our aid. I get the sense, however, that your people already know more than they do, and that you have more than enough resources at your disposal to meet these otherworldly challenges head-on. So perhaps you'll indulge a personal curiosity instead."[break][break]

Julien sat back in his chair and folded his hands in his lap, lacing the fingers together.[break][break]

". He owned and ran Greater Mauville Holdings until recently. Rumors say he simply vanished one day. I want information on his whereabouts, the current status of his company, and any related projects of interest."[break][break]

And like the dutiful younger brother he was, Julien would relay the information back to his brother in Snowbelle City. Gigavolt Energies was looking to expand, and Hoenn was ripe for the harvest.

A smirk dimpled her smile. Well. He was certainly forthright.[break][break]

Nothing he said particularly surprised her; not until he got to the topic of Greater Mauville Holdings, at least. She pursed her lips, considering the former Head Scientist , before a laugh fluttered out of her.[break][break]

"GMH has passed hands in Clayton's absence, though to whom, I'm uncertain. As to his whereabouts, that's a mystery that I wonder if even himself knows. The two always seemed close." She flashed a daring smile his way, winking. "You could always ask him, if you really wanted to know."[break][break]

Another dark laugh bubbled out of her, before her hand rested once more on the stem of her wine glass.[break][break]

"But I can tell you that there is a power plant in Mauville City that you are able to access through his connections, if you like." She let that information settle, before she nonchalantly shared the more interesting piece of intel across the table: "There is a Zapdos that haunts there, you know."

Julien arched an eyebrow at Lisa's answer. It did not surprise him that one so unconnected from GMH would not know enough to provide a satisfactory answer. And he doubted her suggestion to speak with himself was a serious one.[break][break]

The mention of the power plant in Mauville City, however, did intrigue Julien. He'd heard of it and has already planned to scout it as a new base of operations for Gigavolt.[break][break]

However, the mention of a Legendary Pokémon using it as a home only sweetened the potential.[break][break]

"That's certainly worth looking into," he said, tilting his head toward the woman seated across from him. "Thank you, Lisa. For the information and your companionship tonight."

Elisabeth took a final sip of her drink, watching as Julien pocketed this small piece of information she'd slid over to him. Greed, predictably, intrigued powerful men. Legendaries provided an incentive greater than any gold could offer.[break][break]

"You're quite welcome. I hope my companionship proved more enjoyable than that of the League's council."[break][break]

The faintest hint of a jest whispered in her smile. What was, in essence, a business dinner began to wind down, and the pleasantries moved into the falling action of departure.[break][break]

Only then, as he prepared himself to depart, did she seize on intel he'd handed her moments ago.[break][break]

"By the by, Demassieux. Lisa isn't my name."

Julien's smile widened by a fraction. "Indeed. Once again, I find myself preferring your company to that of our less fortunate peers."[break][break]

They moved to leave the restaurant. Only at the threshold of their parting did the woman stop him with one final comment. He understood what she meant at once.[break][break]

Lisa Bortiforte was dead and buried. Only stood before him now.[break][break]

Julien had the grace to look apologetic. "I misspoke, then, Miss Fiorelli. My apologies." He paused for a heartbeat. A note of new appreciation entered his eyes. "The black hair suits you, by the way."
