Sitting in the massenger seat, Kokou was getting ready for a big score.
[break][break]
The young Rocket Grunt had recently been thrown into the gauntlet. While he was at work, Kokou got caught bragging about how he does so much for Rocket. Well one of his superiors thought it would be a good idea to give him a taste of what Rocket is really about. Most of Kokou's jobs were simple muscle jobs, flex a little power and get the debtors to pay. It was easy and he liked it that way, but today wouldn't be so easy.

As Zev gave Kokou instructions on the job, it occurred to him that he would be stealing jewelry. Up until that point, Kokou had just been content knowing he was robbing somewhere. To know that it was a jewelry store, Kokou felt special. His grimy little mitts could have stolen anything, but he got to steal diamonds. How fortuitous," Kokou thought to himself, then snapped his attention back to the task at hand. "Steal the best they got on the sixth floor. Rendezvous, two blocks north east. Got it, boss." Kokou gave Zev a thumbs up. He was excited to be working with on of the higher ups, it felt good to be recognized for his work, but the pressure was most certainly on for Kokou.
[break][break]
Opening the door, Kokou exited the sedan. It was pitch dark outside, and his black outfit made him nearly impossible to see. Kokou snuck up to the department store and began climbing up the wall using action hooks on his boots. Kokou got to the window he was looking for and released his Pokemon. Ren the Rookidee came flying out, silent as ever. She started pecking at the glass, opening a circular hole in it for Kokou to sneak through. As Ren finished up her job, Kokou radio'd to Zev. "This is Kokou, over. I've managed get into the jewelry store."

Inside the jewelry store was tight. There were expensive pieces of jewelry all over. Necklaces, rings, watches, bracelets, earrings, there was all sorts of high end merchandise for Kokou to pilfer. Taking Zev's guidance, Kokou walked carefully around the store. He didn't want to leave behind any scuff marks from his boots, and as he reached his hand into the repositories to retrieve jewelry, he was extra careful not to smudge any glass. He had gloves on, but with modern technology and Pokemon it was easy to make a mistake. Kokou went through the jewelry store, filling his backpack up with diamonds and other rare jewels.
[break][break]
"Alright Zev, i've got at least a half million of jewelry in my bag. Gengar is going to get me out of here." Kokou spoke into his walkie talkie, addressing Zev informally. He seemed like a cool guy, and they hadn't come up with codenames, so Kokou spoke candidly with him. "We should be out of here in less than three minutes."

Walking over to the window that he had entered the store from, Kokou motioned for Gengar to get him out of there.

When the guards burst in, Kokou was facing the window he planned to escape out of. "Freeze motherfucker!" Or something like that, Kokou was wracked with nervousness as soon as he heard someones voice, he couldn't focus on what the pig was saying. Backpack jingling full of diamonds and rubies and sapphires, Kokou trend around slowly. Two fuxx were standing there, Pokemon at the ready. A Riolu and a Glaceon were staring Kokou and Gengar down, oh and Ren the Rookidee too, cant forget her.
[break][break]
"My apologies, young men. We seem to have come to a misunderstanding. I disturbed you from your strenuous work, and you disturbed me from my perilous task at hand. You could turn around, forget this happened?" Kokou couldn't help but smile, and then he gave a sharp whistle command to Ren.
[break][break]
Flying into action. Ren swooped down at Riolu. Making several attacks, the bird came at Riolu from several directions, confusing the Emanation Pokemon. That's when Kokou gave the final command, he whistled a loud sharp command and Rookidee started flying toward the other end of the room. Riolu stood there dizzy for a moment, trying the collect itself, and Ren started soaring. From the other end of the jewelry store, Ren began collecting speed and formed a sharp arrow made out of wind around her body. Ren shot through the jewelry store at psuedo-mach speed, like a truly Brave Bird, and busted the Riolu square in the heat. The two Pokemon went flying through the window, Riolu falling to his death.

Grinning wickedly, Kokou whispered to the guards, "Forget about it." Then he started dashing through the jewelry store and towards the now open window.

After phasing through the sky with Gengar, Kokou found himself firmly footed on the ground. The General's ghost Pokemon took off, and Kokou was on his own. He whistled softly to Ren the Rookidee, commanding her to keep watch of the streets, then he took off through the alleys. Dashing through dumpsters and hobo nests, Kokou made it to the rendezvous point. He saw Zev's unmarked, black sedan parked, and walked casually up to it, still a little out of breath. Kokou got inside and threw the heavy bag of jewelry in Zev's lap. "It went good, for us." Kokou smiled devilishly to his superior. 
[break][break]
After telling Zev about what happened during the mission, and the Riolu that lost it's life, Kokou told Zev, "They must have had an extra security system in place, by the time I was ready to go, two old fucks had their Pokemon out on me. I got all the jewelry in the front of the store though." Kokou wiped the sweat off his brow and pulled out a pack of menthol cigarettes from his pocket. "You smoke?" He offered Zev a cigarette.

Pulling down his black mask, Kokou rolled the car window down. He put the cigarette in his mouth and replied to Zev, "Nah, no body saw my face. Heard my voice, but that's not going to hold up in court." Kokou finagled a yellow lighter from his baggy pants pockets and lit his cigarette. Inhaling deeply, he said, "I think that mall will be shot for future stick ups. Probably will increase security after I killed their Pokemon." Kokou exhaled deeply out the window, then washed his cigarette. "Your Pokemon are professionals, that's for sure." Kokou pulled the passenger selfie mirror down and looked at Gengar and Rotom, giving them a thumbs up.
[break][break]
Just then, Rookidee floated down from the sky above and landed on Kokou's open window. She tweeted noisily in the car, sporadically preening herself in anxiety. Kokou translated for Zev, "She says the police are mobilizing on the streets. Putting up blockades. Think we can make a smooth exit?" Kokou ashed his cigarettes again, between Rookidee's legs.

Smoothly, the two drove through the streets and made it to the blockade. When Gengar poofed outside of the vehicle and Mega Evolved, Kokou was in shock. "I had no idea your Pokemon was so powerful." Kokou said to Zev as the two sped through the former blockade. When Gengar returned, Kokou turned around in the seat and gave him a congratulatory fist bump. Kokou was geeked up to see such a powerful Pokemon at work.
[break][break]
When Zev gave Kokou the proceeding instructions, he nodded affirmatively. "I can do that." Kokou replied and grabbed the jewelry from Gengar in the back. "I'm sure I will see you again, General. Thank you for helping me score, and may fortune be on your side in the coming battle." Kokou gave Zev a half cocked military salute, the jewelry jingling on his back behind him.
[break][break]
Taking the jewelry with him, Kokou headed off to find Pier 3 and return home with all the riches he had stolen with Zev.
