She was hesitant. [break][break]

And honestly, he couldn't blame her. If he'd been in her position, if he felt like he was being backed into a corner, he would have definitely reacted more violently and abrasively than she had. She'd just been snapping at the air, more bark than bite. If he'd been in her position?

[break][break] There would have definitely been more than a fair share of bite marks.

[break][break] "I know," he said, with a pause. He knew, because he'd had to do those things too. And possibly worse. He remembered the first time he'd thrown up in a trash can, and it had almost not been worth it. "But I'm asking you anyway."

[break][break] He glanced at her out of the corner of his eye. For a girl who'd been so fiery seconds ago, she suddenly looked so vulnerable. He hated it. Flynn pushed himself to his feet again and turned around to face her. " I can't do any of that. I can't make promises -" he paused, meaningfully. "But I can tell you one thing. The boss - the club president is dead. And we've got a new one, and he's... he's different. A good different."

[break] [break] Flynn waited then, something like a smile on his face before offering her a hand. "Well, what'll it be?"

[break] [break] It was her choice this time. They weren't gonna force her.

Geeze, she wasn't going to make this easy for him, was she?

[break][break] Not that he expected her to. It was the entire reason why he hadn't wanted to be the one to come up and collect. Then again, he had been the one to find her files and been the one to notice a missed opportunity — or well, what might have been a missed opportunity.

[break][break] Flynn turned around fully this time and looked down at her, teal-blue eyes glowering underneath the light of the room. "I told you," he repeated. "That is why I'm here. You're popular, the club took notice."

[break][break] The man paused, and then plopped himself on the bed next to her, not caring if they were too close. "It's not a guarantee but," he said, glancing at her as she filed her nails. "We can help again, if you want."

[break][break] As much as he hated to be, he was vague on purpose. He had to be — you could never tell who was really watching.

MISSION, 2 PAGE

PERSIM BERRY

allows you to change your pokemon's ability. hidden abilities can be selected.

damsel in distress
tldr; flynn meets a spicy redhead in an alleyway and clean up some of team rocket's loose ends.  

[break]

flynn x virgil roach [break][break]

they could be BROS??

[break][break] likely, they probably met because flynn was working with rocket and had to do intel work for a while, so i imagine he probably frequented his bar loads to get that information. also, i imagine flynn could be counted on to break up a bar fight or two. aand im sure flynn drops off some pokemon at the black market every now and then.

[break][break] also if roach needs someone to pick up a shift, here or there, he could've called on flynn for help.

[break][break] they could've known each other since flynn appeared in hoenn, which is about as long as rocket has been in hoenn! though, its really up to you! also maybe he knows about flynn's PAST w his ex-wife thea -- maybe flynn got a bit too drunk one day and spilled?

[break][break] more present era, flynn has been working for lilycove police for about 1-2 years, so he might also know roach from there too. we could work out how much/if he knows about flynn's involvement in rocket if you want.

[break][break] just a bunch of random ideas, really, hmu if interested

"Yeah," Flynn confirmed with a nod, looking as the woman appeared just around the corner. The moonlight illuminated the unconscious heaps of body on the floor, but just as well, the woman's short-cropped hair as she stepped back into the alleyway. "Thought they needed a little nap." His tone was dry.

[break][break] There was a flash of light as the Klefki swooped and intercepted the keys that had been thrown it's way, and Flynn could not help but give a look of appreciation. "Nice catch," he commented. "Ever try baseball?"

[break][break] Was Flynn actually joking?

[break][break] Maybe the relief of their successful heist had gotten to him. For some reason, he felt like he needed a drink.

[break][break] "Yeah, yeah, " he huffed, returning back to his normal, grouchy self. "I'm not half bad, sometimes." He nodded as she looked to him, calling her Zweilous back for their escape. He gave a slight courtesy. "Ladies first."

As it appeared, they didn't have to wait for long.

[break][break] Flynn had only just entered the cavern when there was a swimming shadow beneath one of the nearby rivers. The Team Rocket grunt glanced down at its dark depths, but he immediately recognized the shadow for what it was. Though it wasn't exactly what they had come for, it would do for now.

[break][break] Reaching down into his backpack, he grabbed some pokekibble that he'd kept in a side-pocket for just such occasions and scattered it into the waterbed. When the Dewgong came up for air, he threw a pokeball at it, hopefully attempting capture.

"Oh, right, forgive my lack of manners!"

[break][break] Honestly, he couldn't really fault her for her reaction. Besides the fact that he had always known Serena Malcolm to be a spitfire of a person, probably most people would have had a similar reaction to finding a strange man on their balcony, uninvited, and unexpected. That was something, he supposed, that should have probably occurred to him when he'd decided to scale it.

[break][break] Actually, it had occurred to him. He just hadn't given a fuck.

[break][break] The idea of potentially meeting one of her family members, or even a friend, before meeting her was not a social interaction that he planned on stomaching. Getting yelled at by Serena Malcolm however... that was pretty common practice.

[break][break] She screamed at him, and then he paused. "A beer would be nice."

[break][break] Maybe she would slap him.

[break][break] Eventually though, she did step to the side, however unreluctantly and Flynn ducked a bit as he entered her room. It was everything that he expected it to be, her being an influencer and all. It just screamed gamer girl. Somehow.

[break][break] "Cozy," he drawled, watching as she plopped on her bed and gestured for him to sit. Flynn shook his head, and instead opted to look around her room, eyes curious. He eyed what appeared to be some anime figurines on a shelf, poking at a ceramic bunny that tilted when he poked it and then righted itself automatically. "No, it isn't about Jake. Plus, your debt to him died when Silas did."

[break][break] He glanced over his shoulder to look at her. "Just wanted to say hi. I noticed you're pretty popular on the internet these days." Though, his tone was dry, filled with sarcasm. It was obvious that he didn't mean it in a good way.

"Yep."

[break][break] The Klefki turned it's body into the keyhole of the safe and it fit perfectly. The door swung open wide, showing a pile of glittering gems and dollar bills, all of which Flynn shoved quickly into a dufflebag and then threw over his shoulder. He nodded at the Klefki, signaling that it was good to close the door, and waited as the door shut closed before placing the picture frame back on the wall. He stared at it crically for a second, making sure that it looked exactly how it'd been placed, before ducking back down the corridor whence he had came.

[break][break] Flynn quickly made it to the door, but before the exit there was an obstacle. Likely for Lulu too, if she was coming down the steps of the security office.

[break][break] Luckily, Flynn had a plan for it. Shutting off his flashlight, he reached into his pokeball and released the Magcargo that he had caught of Lilycove's beaches. The pokemon sludged forward carefully, emanating heat, as the two bodyguards remained ignorant to the approach of both Team Rockets and their pokemon.

[break][break] Opening it's maw, the pokemon released a YAWN which let out in slow-moving puffs of air and then hit the two guards in the back of the head. Within seconds, they crumpled to the ground, asleep, and Flynn jerked his head towards Blue to use THIEF on them to steal any important information, though he doubted they had anything relevant.

[break][break] Swiftly, Flynn made it back to the entrance that they had come from, stepping over the bodies. With any luck, due to the shuttered security cameras, any passerby would have just assumed the two nightguards had just taken too many night shifts and though they could sneak in a nap or two.

[break][break] Left in the cold air of the outside, Flynn waited until he spotted Lulu Flint . He tossed her the items that Blue had pried off of the guards, which would be a small camera and a keyset that looked sort of peculiar, a skull-shaped key that didn't look like it belonged to the jewelry store they'd just ransacked. "Thought this might be interesting."
