A grass/poison type, huh? Sailor watched the Amoonguss and Foongus with a sigh. No chance they'd be allowed to take one with them...[break][break]
An ideal solution to this predicament would be to have a Pokémon that resisted those types or could use a move to make sure the stowaways were unable to react and shoot out their spores.[break][break]
Sailor had an Obstagoon and a Galarian Weezing to use.[break][break]
They approached a crate that should have had counterfeit Luxury Balls inside but it was easy to spot the hidden 'mons -- they should have picked a crate of regular balls. Sailor smirked, "Obstagoon, use Scary Face so they can't escape and Weezing..." Sai was sidetracked for a moment by their sibling. "Hm, do you want to try collecting some? Or maybe a bit of the Toxic Chain?" They signed back before they grabbed a Foongus and holding it out for their sibling to see. The pink-purple chain wriggled when the Pokémon moved.[break][break]
Obstagoon used Scary Face which caused all the 'mons to freeze up and then when they started wriggling again, it was a lot slower, lethargic even. "They seem weak." Sai tossed the Pokémon onto a pile that had been extracted from crates already. [break][break]
No doubt Rocket would find a use for them, regardless.

Sai gestured for Obstagoon to move back a bit and looked at the phone. Their brows rose slowly, "You think that pixel blur is me? Should I be insulted?"[break][break]
Hm, interesting that this guy had evidence like that. Of course, the stream set-up. Either he was smart enough (doubt) to grab a screen grab himself, or someone from his audience (likely) did it.[break][break]
"Hm. This is a really common brand, a lot of people wear it." Sai flashed the watch as they took out their phone and messaged Fenelle Miller to look into whoever this guy was, to find out about his background and whatever else dee could dig up.

Sailor was patient and used to Fen's ways. If dee misses the signing, then they just repeat it until dee got it. [break][break]
It seemed Morgrem really was a perfect match for Fenelle, Sai noted as they watched them interact. They smiled at their sibling and pat Weezing again, "I think you can manage that. Might have been a little easier with an Impidimp but, Moregrem looks smart." They compliment the 'mon on purpose, to win it over. [break][break]
They nod at Fen's words and then add, "Honour is well and good but you have to be willing to do what needs to be done. We're the good guys, don't worry about that. Everything we do is for the greater good."

Sailor stood back as they watched other trainers tackling the Rabsca swarm. They note someone who seemed familiar leaving on the back of a Crobat but stay their ground, "Deal with any that get too close." Is the only command given to Obstagoon and Weezing.[break][break]
They don't have a way to deal with speed-swap but Sailor spotted some Trapinch traps and grinned, "Lead them this way, we can use this to our advantage." Sai said to their 'mons. The trio backed up and the Rabsca, unaware of what laid in store for them, fell victim to the Trapinch waiting under the sand.[break][break]
Sai took this as a chance to back up further, so they could observe and send information back to HQ. They did take a cheeky selca with a trapped Rabsca to send to Fen.

"Glad you like it." Sailor smiled but they weren't too fussed on the tea. It was cheap, so it had been their first choice -- just something to use as a prop.[break][break]
"Ah, do you remember the girl who worked as a receptionist at my job? I'd gotten closer to her and her friend." Two female grunts and Sai sighed, "Sadly there was something that happened to her Pokémon so her friend went to help. They told me to go ahead." Sailor glanced at the table next to them.[break][break]
Who were derailing part of the poaching operation that Rocket were undertaking at Slateport, "Oh you'll know her when you see her next time. She has the most amazing sense of style and her Buneary is so cute." Sailor laughed as though they had said something funny. One wore her hair in buns.[break][break]
Little details that all built up to a big picture, "I'll message them later, to check up on things." Will send you their names and pictures through our secure channel.

Mid-sip, Sailor turned to face the stranger once more. Stupid, tall, idiot.[break][break]
"Hm? Let it go, we don't know each other." Sailor remarked with a sigh. It was tiresome dealing with people like this. And this guy? He had that do-good personality and an energetic Cinderace -- he had to be a Ranger.[break][break]
Obatagoon glared at the Cinderace, blocking Azure and the 'mon from getting closer to Sai. They merely smirked and continued sipping their drink.

As soon as Azure approached, Obstagoon stood in the way and started to growl. Sailor looked up from their phone with a bored expression, "It’s fine, stand down." Not that they cared about what this guy had to say.[break][break]
Of course, Sai remembered him -- how could they forget the dude that was making a fool of himself in front of a live audience? But to his face, Sai merely shrugged, "I don't think so." And when their name was called, they collected their drink and started to walk off.[break][break]
Obstagoon growled once more before he followed Sailor.

It was Sailor's turn to order when they got a prickly feeling on the back of their neck. Being in their line of work, Sai was pretty good at figuring out when someone was watching them. Next to them, Obstagoon let out a grunt but Sailor ignored it and went ahead with their order.[break][break]
Standing to the side, they pretended to check their phone while doing a sweep of the area. Oh. Yeah, it was that dude with the Cinderace... Was that Pokémon eating fries?![break][break]
That was almost enough to throw them off but Sai went back to being nonchalant without missing a beat. Once they had their bubble tea, they could just leave the mall.

Another night, another job.[break][break]
Sai didn't bat an eyelid when they were asked to meet their superior on the roof of the Oceanic Museum for this heist. They just accepted that as part of what they had to do and, thanks to their skills, found the climb quite easy.[break][break]
Obstagoon would just have to put up with being look-out down below and trust that Sai would keep themself out of trouble tonight. Well, at least they had their Weezing as well.[break][break]
They hurried along the rooftop and spotted their partner quite easily, "Evening." Sai greeted with a nod, crouching down next to Oscar. They couldn't wait to hear the plan this guy had for them.

Even Sailor liked to have lowkey days and, when they didn't have to worry about something scheduled by a boss, they liked to go to the Mall and window-shop. Today, they managed to convince Chu-e to come along with them and about ten paces behind them was Sai's Obstagoon, keeping watch and making sure they were okay.[break][break]
"Should we stop and get a coffee first?" Sai asked as they headed into the Mall. The entrance they chose was closest to the food court so if Chu-e agreed, it would only be a short detour, "I fancy an iced coffee with vanilla." They continued, hoping to convince their companion.

Sailor knew to act casual whenever Cillian arrived and sure enough, the other asked them what they were drinking and Sai slid another to-go cup across the table, "For you. It's a seasonal berry tea they're offering." It was quite refreshing, actually. They suspected some vanilla had been added too.[break][break]
They sipped their drink and added, "You should come to the Night Market more often." More small talk to let anyone listening in just think this was a nothing conversation. Sai glanced at Cillian, "A few of my friends had wanted to come but they couldn't make it." Which was code for 'I have found something suspicious about some members.'[break][break]
Cillian would know what to ask next.
