Neon lights shine bright in the eyes of the people of Lilycove, illuminating the night and blotting out the stars above as heavy bass rattles Xenon's skull. She sits at the bar of The Ultramodern (formerly known as The Black Note) with a White Kalosian in hand, staring down at the dance floor with amusement and taking a sip of her drink. She had spent a lot of time and money on beating this city down with the proverbial stick, now it was time to offer the carrot.
[break][break]
The club formerly known as The Black Note was something of a dive before Xenon had forcefully taken ownership a few months prior, consistently in the red with no signs of recovery, next to no patronage from any of the locals in town, Xenon barely even had to break the owner's knees before he was begging for the woman to take the damn place from him. She still did of course, he was sleeping with the fishes down by the harbor after he had called her newly acquired club a curse, but the point is that it was an uphill climb to get to opening night tonight.
[break][break]
And what she had to show for it was good, real fucking good. She put in the time advertising around town, had all her grunts putting up fliers and badgering people to swing by, she even spent actual real money putting up ads on social media! That's a legal course of action right there, completely legitimate way to attract business! Promotion through algorithms! The atmosphere was moody, the music was bouncing, the people were dancing, a few weeks of this legitimate business and she could move on to recruiting the disenfranchised youth of the city. Organic propaganda!
[break][break]
Xenon sets her drink down on the steel railing and smiles as she leans over to the club, time to get this night really fucking going. "Thanks for coming out to the club folks, let's get a complimentary round for everyone here on the house!" The crowd erupts into ecstatic cheer as glasses clink against one another and the music kicks up, everything was going perfect. So why then... was she getting that tingle on the back of her neck? That tingle that let her know when the future... was taking a turn...?

"The Ultramodern". What a disgrace! To steal the Black Note from her was one thing, and to put the kibosh on The Black Note on it was another, but this? It was like putting clown makeup on a corpse and propping it up at the circus! And did they really think she would just take this sitting down? No. There was a price to pay for insulting the Valentine Gang, and tonight, Xenon Civitas Antheili was going to write the cheque.

And Bullet Danger Valentine was going to cash it in.

The plan was simple - First, she needed to get inside. That was easy-peasy. See, she had a few of her boys working in the delivery company, and they managed to smuggle her in right under their noses. Sure, sitting in a crate for eight hours was no fun, but on the bright side, it was a crate full of napkins, so it was the comfiest eight hours she'd ever spent inside a crate! Stepping out of the box and walking off her various cramps and pains, she'd successfully managed to infiltrate the basement.

Second, she needed a disguise. Something that'd let her get close to the owner so she could knock her off. Skulking up the stairs and through the hallways, Bullet managed to make her way to some kind of locker room. This had to be where all the employees changed into their newfangled hideous fashion outfits! And it was good timing, too, because there was only one other person in here. It was all too easy to perform a silent and stealthy takedown...

SLAM! THUMP! THUMP! THUMP! THUMP! THUMP! THUMP!

One tackle and six punches to the face later, the poor bartender was unconscious, and Bullet claimed her outfit for herself. It was a shiny dress, the kind meant to provoke reactions from the classless bottomfeeders that flocked to these dens of degeneracy. Upon donning it herself, it became immediately apparent that it didn't fit her at all, being meant for someone far taller, wider, and bigger than herself. Worse still, it didn't exactly have much in the way of pockets, which made it difficult to conceal any weapons on her person. All and all, it was a poor choice of camoflauge, but needs must when there was a hits to carry out! She'd just have to make a few compromises, pull a few strings, tape a few parts. It'd all work out!

And after a good ten minutes of fiddling and adjusting, she would move onward, leaving the locker room behind and entering into the club proper. Time for the third part of the plan - Track down the mark.

...Oh. There she was. She was making a speech up on the second floor, drink in hand, smile on her face, and seemingly unaware that tonight was the night she was going to meet her maker. Perfect. With her target spotted, Bullet would make her way across the dance floor and up the stairs, trying to get closer to Xenon.

All part of step four, of course - Closing the distance.

Something was wrong here, she could feel it at the back of her neck. Most would dismiss it as anxiety or baseless paranoia, but Xenon hadn't risen through the ranks of Team Rocket ignoring her instincts. That was a perfect way to get a knife to the kidney when you least expected it, if there was anything valuable she had obtained from her past it was a honed instinct for danger.
[break][break]
But she couldn't let anyone know that anything was wrong, she had to play the fool and act as though everything was peachy keen. She keeps a smile planted upon her face as she steps away from the railing and towards her private table, a set of five Pokeballs are held within a glass display case, her best Pokemon for when she needed to keep the damage to a minimum. They weren't her strongest though, something that could be a problem if this ended up going loud, but her gut was telling her this would be a quiet hit. Nothing was exploding yet, which foretold good things.
[break][break]
Xenon reaches out and opens up the display case, palming one Pokeball and releasing her Gothitelle in a flash of crimson light. The gothic lady seems confused for a moment as she looks to Xenon with an arched eyebrow, all the Rocket has to do is tap her fingers on the glass table to communicate what the Psychic needed to know as her brow furrows and she turns to look out at the crowd. Maybe if she had taken a little more time to screen her staff and remember their faces she might have noticed the girl in the all too big dress starting to approach her, but it's precisely because they were so unimportant in her eyes that Bullet would have her opportunity. Provided of course, she could work around the psychic Pokemon scanning everyone nearby for any kind of malicious intent.

Ah, drat! That was one of those there Gothidames, wasn't it? The kind that could read minds and see the future? That was no good. If she tried to go through with the hit now, she'd be sniffed out in an instant! But then again, she couldn't exactly stop and turn around either, could she? That'd be even more suspicion than if she kept going. No, there was no turning back now. She'd just have to think on her feet.

It was a good thing, then, that this god-awful club was so packed. As she swam through the sea of people, she briefly passed by some manner of waiter, and took the opportunity to snag a pair of expensive-looking drinks from their tray. And the best part was, she got away with a hitch! That rube didn't even know what hit them... Or, maybe they did? With all the flashing lights and booming music, it was hard to tell, and even if she was noticed, she couldn't exactly be followed, what with the bustling crowd... Oh well! Either way, it still went off without a hitch!

With that hurdle cleared, all that was left was to do was to fool that Psychic type. Luckily, she was pretty smart when it came to this sort of thing. She had a mind like a steel trap! All she had to do was carefully cultivate her thoughts to trick it...

So, as she approached the Xenon with drinks in hand, she would do just that.

Oh BOY, I cannot wait to DRINK ALCOHOL with the OWNER OF THIS ESTABLISHMENT! I would love to hear her TALK ABOUT HER NICHE INTERESTS and LISTEN TO HER PHILOSOPHIES! I sure hope there's nobody has a problem with that!

There are many ways to fool a psychic Pokemon actively on the hunt. There are humans who are colloquially known as "Dark" in much the same manner as the Pokemon, those who are resistant or outright immune to the psychic attacks and scanning of Pokemon. Xenon herself fell under this banner, a fact that caused her no end of frustration when trying to communicate with her Psychic type Pokemon.
[break][break]
One could also hypnotize themselves, fooling even their own mind into thinking they were someone else, thus passing under the radar of Psychics. This was a well tested method by many Rocket assassins, sleeper agents implanted within a government as servants or cooks, programmed to get closer to their target until just the right moment.
[break][break]
And then there was whatever the hell Bullet was doing as she waltzed up to Xenon and her Gothitelle, thinking incredibly loudly about just how much she wanted to talk about philosophy and drink good alcohol. Now any proper human hearing this would immediately sound the alarms on such an obviously phony alibi, instantly attacking Bullet without remorse and dragging her to the basement to be interrogated. But a Gothitelle was not a proper human, she did not understand the mentality of humans, nor did she even fully understand the language humans thought in. What Hafnium was reading from Bullet right now was intent, a very enthusiastic intent to talk to her partner about things she already loved to talk about. So against all odds, the girl's steel trap mind manages to pass through the metal detector and get her right up to the table, bringing her to the final hurdle in this hastily planned assassination attempt.
[break][break]
Xenon herself. The club owner turns a curious eye on Bullet as she approaches, somewhat on edge, but otherwise smiling confidently as she motions for the "server" to sit down with her. "Lovely night isn't it? The music is bumping, the people are dancing, the future is bright as the stars in the sky. Only thing that could make it better is a good drink with an equally lovely lady~"
