[m] how the mighty have fallen

a small cemetery had been put up in Sootopolis.

the civilians that lost their lives, along with their Pokemon, were remembered by Rocket. how ironic, considering the often brutal and selfish ways of the organization. Siobhan stands before one marked lot. there hadn't been time to erect a stone.

there was just a small tidbit of a name, the lot claimed by family. it was a civilian. her eyes were downcast, staring at the earth. soon it'd be filled. soon the grave would be dug. but right now? there was work to do.

as a folklorist, she knew the significance and draw of death. spirits easily condescended on this location now. they were here to draw them out, capture them and hand them over to Rocket. 

today, the Executive was working with . she did not know him at all; did not even know what type of person he was. guessing would get her nowhere in particular. Siobhan waited for the man to arrive.

that's all she could do.

seemed to have a thing for psychic types. she was going to call out her new Abra for the job, but he beat her to it. "thank you" Siobhan says to the Admin, rising from her seat.

the recruits were coming in one by one with their groups. she gestures for the psychic-type Pokemon to follow her. "I will let you know how it goes" she adds over her shoulder. with luck they'd have a fresh crop of Grunts.

5/5

sixty percent.

"the majority of them seem to be struggling helping even Grunts out." she points out the ones on the monitor. not a vast majority. a few of them had been paired with higher ups, and they were being scolded or praised depending.

"only thirty percent show excellent promise. ten percent lack but can be molded." which meant; they weren't a lost cause. Siobhan was just one of more groups fleshing the recruits out. there were plenty more where that came from.

"I suppose I'd just tell them to go home" she shrugs "many are sympathizers we've built around Hoenn. I asked them why and they said we do 'good work'. the others? they want easy money. none of them seem to be"

she pauses, squinting.

"a threat" no undercover League folk anyway. they all were scanned for association "but I want to wipe their memory of the interview. anything can be sold to League for information."

4/5

another waste of time.

Siobhan glances idly at the Shinx as she leaves it be. there had to be something here. she could feel it in her bones. another Shiny, another rare looking Pokemon.

but if she could not find one? she would waste the spheres on something to trade away. she could always use more fodder for her trading schemes.

"you got jumped?" Siobhan's eyes flickered briefly with concern. Enes would state he was looking for something big, mean-looking. something with some force behind it. "have you considered dragons?" she asked him before her gaze looked to a Venonat.

she could do with a worse poison type.

calling out her Dusknoir, it made short work of the weaker Pokemon. a few Fire Punches here and there, and the bug was defeated. she tosses a Pokeball at it. "I like to collect" Siobhan adds "I'm on the hunt for poison or bug types."

but make no mistake - she gave all her Pokemon equal treatment.

"thank you but" she pauses "I'd rather not know." Killian would surely understand that statement. Rocket was not known for their 'bonds' with Pokémon. they used them, sometimes abused them.

and she helped capture more for them.

it was her fault the Pikachu were captured in the first place. she'd rather not have guilt on her mind. "some are showing promise" she says, gladdened for a change of subject "but I suspect 60% of them -"

she leans forward to look at the screen. "need a bit of a refresher." she frowns softly. most of them who joined needed money, and saw Rocket take Sootopolis as a sign there would be more work. they weren't wrong.

"I'll weed them out" Siobhan adds. but they also weren't right.

3/5

order up!

the bell rings and they set to work. dressed in barista outfits, Siobhan would order her Primarina to start the dish. a water gun was controlled; it filled the cafe cups.

as they went about their business, she makes a note to move the filled mugs to the next person in the cook line. "ready?" she states to the rest of them, feeling a bit worn out already.

preparing food for other people was difficult work.

ooc; first order! eevee latte!
1X WATER GUN
1X EMBER
1X UNBURDEN ABILITY

ah, so he went to the debt talk again.

Remiel would state he didn't know what he'd do once the war was over. she was going to say 'i'm sorry' to him, for what it was worth. not having a decision about your future was terrible.

but - he had to talk like she owed him. which she did, but no longer. she wasn't a toy.

"I have enough to pay you back" Siobhan would state, almost sharp as a knife "my promotions and jobs have gained me a sizable fortune." but despite her matter-of-fact tone, she was inwardly saddened.

the money he spent smuggling her into Hoenn was going to be repaid. but also, a small test. to see just how much they had grown as people, as allies... she dare not hope for anything more.

because there was no hope, was there?

"I doubt you need the money" she goes on quietly "but I made a promise to repay you. if you don't take it, it'll just be thrown into the sea."

"nothing much."

she was a bit surprised to see the young man she helped weeks prior. how time flew. before she knew it, the take-over had happened in her absence. Groudon was still at large. so much was happening.

"looking for new Pokemon, mostly" Siobhan adds to the other "and you?"
