"I've been to these caves almost a hundred times at this point." Howard peered at Svetlana from his single good eye, before turning back to the cave's entrance with a shrug. "You're lucky. You got the best guide in the region, and I won't even charge for it! I've been dying for some fieldwork."

The Rocket Admin was used to filing paperwork overseeing Rocket's hiring process. Hell, it was a major chunk of his work at this point. It wasn't particularly desired work, but there wasn't Howard could do beyond silently complain and do his job. If that job meant working alongside fresh meat, he'd shrug and do it.

Yet working alongside Svetlana meant he got to work outside, which he vastly preferred. Maybe he could find some fossils or meteor fragments this time around. He hadn't added anything recent to his collection in a little while, anyway.

"I'm not the best trainer, but I can fight off a few Bagons if they mess with us." Howard mimed throwing hands, before reaching for his belt and plucking a Pokeball from his belt containing a Sigilyth. It appeared before the duo in a flash. "You ready to go in?"

“Fieldwork…?...Yes, fieldwork.” Svetlana’s tone, apathetic and disinterested, revealed the truth of her emotions: she was utterly neutral on this entire affair. She neither approved of Howard’s apparent desire for fieldwork nor disapproved. She merely acknowledged it, looking towards her partner in crime and dastardly affairs with a hollow and well-rehearsed smile.[break][break]

“Do now worry. I am more than capable of providing protection.” She reached to the keychain dangling off her cello case and pulled three Pokeballs free, holding each of them in the gaps between her fingers, as if to demonstrate the subject matter of battling Pokemon was something she had a deal of experience with.[break][break]

She witnessed the Siligylph being released from their Pokeball, tilting her head sideways but really, she was wondering what exactly the whole point of this mission was. Sure, she worked for Rocket but as a rather new hire, it seemed very out of the ordinary to be dragged along to a meteor filled cave with an Admin.[break][break]

“Yes. Lead on.” She spoke curtly and briskly, answering the question posed.

He lead on.

The trio of Sigilyth were meant to survey the area around Granite Cave and hunt down anything that would interest the two Rockets. Ancient sentinels that guarded forgotten kingdoms were now used to observe and defend on behalf of a new master. A fourth Pokeball on Howard's belt was covered in frost, the device incapable of completely containing Regice's freezing power.

That Pokemon, he'd avoid using. It was simply there as a backup. That, and Rocket's survey of Hoenn determining that there was a ruin related to Regidrago somewhere within Meteor Falls. Howard brought Regice with the hope that it'd do something, anything to lead him to its missing constructs.

That too was an ephemeral dream.

As the two delved into the cave, they came across a small cavern with a pool of water. Suddenly, a Noibat came screaming through the dark, causing Howard to let out an 'eep!' of surprise. The Sigilyths moved into action, using Light Screen and Reflect to box in the wild Pokemon so that it could be fought and hopefully captured by either of the Rockets.

"Bats! I hate these things. Them and Zubats, I swear to Arceus!" Howard cursed and grumbled as he peered into the water. His brow furrowed as he frowned. "What the...?"

A Seaking erupted from the water.

Drip. Drip. Drip. The sound of water dripping from growing stalactites, reaching towards grasping stalagmites, was but one of few sounds of the background ambiance present within the cave. Svetlana breathed deep, her lungs filled with the chilled air, as her hearing turned towards other background noises. The wind whistling through the cave, a gentle caress that breathed a sigh over her skin, contrasted with the gentle thud of her boots on the cave floor.[break][break]

The peaceful ambience was interrupted, broken alongside Svetlana’s focus being on scanning the cave, by the sound of a screeching bat flying out of hell. It was a Noibat to be exact, the lilac and purple bat’s presence being enough to compel a surprised “eep” to slip from Howard’s lips. It was rather funny really but Svetlana would restrain from chuckling at a big bad Rocket admin being scared of a bat.[break][break]

“Please stand back Admin. Allow me to handle this.” Of course Svetlana#s request, delivered in a calm and neutral voice devoid of any emotion, fell on deaf ears as the Admin went to investigate a nearby pool of water. A nearby pool from which a Seaking jumped, leaping through the air with…well not the grace of a bird taking to the wing but some form of grace to be sure. Svetlana’s free hand wrapped around a Pokeball, the red crimson and alabaster orb extending to full size as she clipped the others back onto her cello case in one fluid movement.[break][break]

Svetlana threw the Pokeball forwards, the orb opening like the maw of an ancient beast, and from its depths came a dragon. Not a mighty dragon that soared through the skies above mind you, but a dragon nonetheless. Svetlana whistled a simple tune, her Bagon locking eyes with the Noivern, taking this challenge to her territory a serious matter indeed. All the world’s land was Aine’s territory as far as she was concerned.[break][break]

Proud and regal, with all the arrogant swagger of a tyrant, the Bagon known as Aine stepped forward to face the Noibat. They roared and issued their challenge, leaping into the air and launching a Zen Headbutt towards the Noibat. Hopefully it would hit but regardless, the intention was not to deal damage. It was to distract. Svetlana threw a Pokeball, an empty one, from her supply towards the Noibat to hopefully capture it.[break][break]

Attempting capture of the Noibat.

"Excellent work, Ms. Kuznetzov!"

Howard poked his head out from behind the grunt as she dispatched of and captured the Noibat with remarkable ease. Hopefully Svetlana didn't tell the other grunts about Howard's reaction. He was a fairly popular Rocket Admin, but people loved to take a statement and run with it. A fact became a story, a story a myth, a myth a legend. By the end of it all, there was naught but a shred of truth in a tapestry of fiction.

Hell, the average grunt still thought that he had beaten Fernando Silph in a six on six Pokemon battle. In actuality, Howard had almost lost a fight with the Gym Leader's Natu. It wasn't his finest moment, but it was, in the vaguest sense of the term, a 'victory'.

When history credited you with success, you ran with it.

While Svetlana toyed with the Noibat, Howard's swarm of Sigilyth struck the Seaking back into the water. It wasn't a fair fight, but there was no need to fight fair. Wild Pokémon couldn't declare a victory clean or dirty when nature was as cutthroat as Rocket was. When the Seaking vanished, the water erupted with two new Pokémon.

Arrokewda... Tasty, admittedly.

Arctovish... Howard's eye narrowed, and his demeanor changed.

"The Arctovish is mine. I can't allow something like this to taint Meteor Falls for any longer than it already has."

Working in unison, the three Sigilyth zapped the abomination with a slew of Air Slashes, Psychics, and Ancient Powers. It was, without a doubt, overkill. Three was a crowd, but Howard wouldn't take any chance with a mistake like Arctovish.

A ball flew through the air, tapped the Arctovish, and the Pokémon disappeared within the orb. It clacked against the ground and began to shake.

The compliment was appreciated, or at least Svetlana would pretend it was by nodding her head, yet she remained focused on the matter of hand. The Noibat and Seaking were not the last Pokemon who chose to get involved in this, for an Arrokuda and Arctovish reared their heads. Svetlana had to stifle a laugh, finding the Arrokuda’s expression rather laughable. It was a very cheeky looking grin, the expression of a cat that had done its business on the baby’s bed.[break][break]

“Oh? As you wish.” The sudden change in Howard’s personality, the grim tone that took over his voice, aroused Svetlana’s intrigue. At first she had found Howard simply to be like any other human, ordinary and uninteresting, but the sudden change in demeanour revealed a hidden secret and a buried truth. Hidden truths and buried secrets were one of Svetlana’s favourite things to unravel and expose, naked to the world.[break][break]

With a simple whistle, a specific tune that compelled the Bagon forwards, Aine unleashed a searing gout of flame upon the water bound Arrokuda. It was an attack that obviously would do little in the way of damage and yet, that was to Svetlana’s advantage. She was intending to weaken them rather than defeating them after all. With a simple flick of the wrist, she threw a Pokeball towards the Arrokuda.[break][break]

“Howard…you seem concerned about the existence of the other Pokebmon. Tell me..what exactly is the issue?” She turned her head towards the more senior member of Team Rocket, hoping that the secret (if there was one) at the heart of her question would be an interesting secret.

"Ugh, now I'm pissed!" Howard snapped, turning away from the caught Arctovish, only to find himself staring down a Salamence. An average person would've immediately thought of freya morningstar, but Howard, the great academic that he was, thought of something else.

FUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCK

Compelling. No wonder he was Rocket's quartermaster.

Hell, there was a reason he still was. He ran. He ran fast. He bolted out of the cave with the giant dragon chasing after him. There was a reason that wild Dragon-type Pokemon were so strong. They did not deny their nature. Trained Dragon-types were often forced to reject their brutal existence.

Nature did not offer such comforts.

"FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-" The whole time, his Sigilyths were peppering the beast with a slew of attacks, desperately trying to fend off the dragon. Finally, the dragon stalled slightly to blast the Sigilyth from the sky.

"Eep!" Howard threw a ball that hit the Salamence in the eye. It roared at him. Then it vanished.

Wobble. Wobble. Wobble. Click! Salamence was caught. Howard stumbled towards the ball and collapsed, cradling it. "I thought I was gonna dieeeeee!"

He looked around. Where was Svetlana?
