Frank nodded solemnly, taking in Cillian's directive and patting the Pokéballs on his belt in reassurance. Then, as stealthily as possible, he crept along the catwalk toward a section of crates farthest from the patrolling guards. Rex dropped down first on silent paws. [break][break]

They made quick work, opening crates and snatching the most valuable items. Revives, Max Potions, and even the rare Ether. Frank stuffed them in a duffel bag while his Persian kept watch, tail swishing to alert them of guard movement. [break][break]

Eventually, Frank had filled his bag almost to the brim. It was much heavier than he'd anticipated, though, and when he went to climb back up to the catwalk behind Cillian, it banged against the metal. A shout rose up from elsewhere in the warehouse, following by approaching footsteps. [break][break]

Frank froze even as adrenaline flooded his veins and his heart started racing. Glancing up, he tried to find Cillian's eyes and ask him through expression alone what the fuck they should do.

PALOSSAND SWARM (II)

Unlike DAMIEN RUSSO, Frank was enjoying the beach. Though his own sand sculpture wasn't exactly fine art, he felt rather proud of the malformed-looking Linoone. And when the bugs tried to bite at him, his Chatot intervened, swatting them out of the air with AIR SLASH. [break][break]

"Check out my sculpture, Damien!" Frank called out, waving at the other man who had fallen onto his back on the beach. [break][break]

At the moment, however, a Palossand rose up in indignation. It squared off against Damien's Haunter, but Frank was not about to let the wild Pokémon get in the way of their fun outing. [break][break]

"Angelo, go help chase that thing away." [break][break]

The Chatot chirped, then flew forward to PLAY ROUGH. [break][break]

There it was: the anger Damien kept bottled up inside him. Frank let the other man's rage and accusations crash over him. With as much calm as he could muster, Frank guided the truck to the shoulder of the highway, parked, and put on the hazard lights. [break][break]

Then he sat and stared through the windshield into the darkness, his hands curled into fists on his lap. As Damien's tirade continued, Frank found himself turning inward by force of habit, trying to find a solid center amidst the storm. [break][break]

It had been his defense mechanism in prison, a way for him to preserve his sanity. By adopting ruthlessness, he asserted himself over others and survived. [break][break]

Frank did not look at Damien until silence filled the space between the two men once more. And when he did, he tried to keep the sadness out of his eyes. [break][break]

"Are you done?" Frank asked softly, maintaining an even voice. Damien would find no rage thrown back at him, but no groveling apology, either.

Frank, unfamiliar with the basic crime of breaking and entering, accepted the Dhelmise's assistance. Clinging to the Pokémon, he savored the rush of air and sudden adrenaline spike as they ascended to the window. From there, he and his Persian hopped onto the catwalk. [break][break]

The warehouse spread out below them. Frank had never been in one before, and never from such a high vantage point. It was exactly like the movies, and, at the same time, nothing like one. [break][break]

His heart pounding in his ears, he observed the layout of the area. Neat rows of crates filled the center of the large chamber, while shelves of smaller items lined the walls. [break][break]

A pair of guards sat by the front door playing cards, while another pair wandered between the merchandise, flashlights in hand. [break][break]

"Which ones are we grabbing?" Frank whispered to Cillian, gesturing to the crates.

Leaving the unconscious Rangers rubbed Frank the wrong way, like they were flirting with a little too much danger. Coming to a decision, he opened a Pokéball and released his Malamar. She gave him a quizzical look as he pointed to the prone bodies. [break][break]

"Can you use your psychic powers to wipe their memory of the past… oh, I don't know, hour?" he asked her. [break][break]

She uttered a soft noise in response. Then her eyes glowed with violet light. An aura of the same color enveloped the two Rangers for a long moment before fading away. The Malamar gave her trainer a grave nod. [break][break]

"It's done," Frank said to Dane as he recalled both his Pokémon. He started toward the driver's door of the van. "I'll drive this stuff over then. See you around!" [break][break]

With goodbyes said, the silver-haired man climbed into the vehicle and set off into the night.

"It can be," Frank admitted with a shrug. In truth, he enjoyed toying with numbers, finding it a healthy mental challenge. But Cillian did not strike him as a man who could understand that kind of thrill. "It's nothing quite like sneaking around and flirting with getting caught, though." [break][break]

Frank knew that sort of thrill intimately. [break][break]

He waited with Cillian outside the warehouse as the small Zubat slipped inside. Unsure what exactly they were waiting for, he glanced down at his Persian. [break][break]

"Keep an eye out for trouble, Rex," he whispered. Silently, the cat turned his gaze to the street.

Frank took mental note of the other man's prickly demeanor but brushed it aside. Plenty of people who made up Team Rocket's ranks had chips on their shoulders. He had no desire to let their attitudes affect him. [break][break]

"I peeked into all the offices with windows and they're all dark and empty," he said, keeping his tone light despite the serious expression on his face. "The conference rooms in this wing, too. So I was thinking, maybe someone else saw them or knew where they'd all gone?" [break][break]

He threw the stranger a meaningful look before continuing in a mild tone, "If you're close with Admin Cross, maybe you can try giving him a call?"

Frank could not imagine it from Dane's explanation, but he nodded anyway, as if he understood. "Huh! You make it sound so easy," he said with a shake of his head, as if unable to believe such a thing could be possible. "Maybe you can show me how you do it sometime, yeah?" [break][break]

They finished loading up the van. Frank then turned to the two Rangers, still lying unconscious on the ground nearby. [break][break]

"What do we do with them?" he asked, gesturing. Despite signing up to join a terrorist organization, he didn't feel like taking two lives. [break][break]

Plus, murder would complicate things. The two grunts would have to dispose the bodies, and who's to say they would be able to get away with it?

It was over before Frank knew it. Dane emerged out of the SANDSTORM and pummeled the Rangers unconscious. Nearby, their Pokémon made quick work of the Ivysaur and Dachsbun. He'd hardly had to lift a finger. [break][break]

Maybe battling wasn't so bad, after all. [break][break]

"Thanks, but it was all you, really," Frank said with an easy smile as he helped Dane load the equipment into the back of an unmarked van. He often used it for smuggling cargo from city to city, but this time, they would drive it to Slateport for transfer to a new hideout. [break][break]

"How'd you disappear like that in the sandstorm? You must have a lot of training with your Pokémon."

"I thought the same thing about war prep, but wouldn't that mean the submarine would be busier than normal?" Frank pointed out. "I couldn't even reach Admin Slayte on his phone." [break][break]

Sighing, he crossed his arms over his chest and looked around with a frown, as if the empty hallways should answer for the crime. [break][break]

"I'm trying to remember the last time I heard from one of them, or saw them." He glanced at the stranger. "Are you here to look for one of them, too?" [break][break]

Why else would a grunt—he assumed the other man was a grunt like him—be in the area?

It was quiet on the submarine. Too quiet. [break][break]

Frank scratched his head, bewildered. He'd originally wandered into the North Wing to speak with howard slayte about some cooked numbers he needed to un-cook, but the man's office was empty. Dark. He hadn't answered his phone, either. [break][break]

That was when Frank noticed all the other offices were dark and empty, too. In fact, that entire section of the North Wing was unoccupied. [break][break]

As he was leaving, he spotted an unfamiliar face in the passages. "Hey man, excuse me. Have you seen the bosses anywhere?" he asked. "I know a few of them are out and about most of the time, but I've never seen the place this empty before."

More and more, the excuse of "I'm an accountant" seemed to mean nothing. Rumors spread among Frank's fellow grunts that war with the League was on the horizon, though he hadn't confirmed it with his superiors. [break][break]

That is, until none other than Underboss Cillian Quinn summoned Frank to accompany him on a special mission. [break][break]

"So there's going to be war after all," the silver-haired man murmured as they approached a warehouse in the dead of night. Inside, the League stored medical supplies intended for distribution in emergencies. [break][break]

Their goal was simple: procure as much as they could for Team Rocket instead. [break][break]

"Why pick me to come with you, though?" Frank asked Cillian. Dressed in black clothes and a mask, he felt like a caricature of a burglar rather than his true profession. Beside him, his Alolan Persian seemed the better thief.

Had Dane disappeared? Frank could barely see anything through the thick storm, though he caught a flash of fire as his Krookodile engaged with the Ivysaur. [break][break]

Shouts from the Rangers drew his attention. He held up his hands in the universal gesture of surrender, but then yelled back, "Hey! Look, I'm just a guy. There's really nothing to see here, so you can turn back around, maybe even end your shifts early?" [break][break]

But then Kathy lashed out with BRUTAL SWING, knocking the Rangers to the ground while dealing a blow to the Ivysaur.
