Turn 007 // Text to Rockets, 6:45 a.m.

[I am so sorry, Johto trash squad. Fearless leader's not done harping at you guys yet. :( Ignore or obey his commands at your own discretion; he just likes being detailed.]

Johto garbage squad. You've received your general orders. Pair up for looting - one person watches the other's back. Don't forget your masks. In case of civilian interference, capture photo and video of the fiercest resistance fighters if you can.

In relevant areas, a pair of agents should target our own strongholds, but don't actually destroy anything. Let's create the illusion that these establishments weren't spared. (Quinn, don't take this mission. Your...talents...are required elsewhere.)

...on that note, I'll need two Goldenrod agents to rendezvous with me later today for a covert sub-mission. Details after I've accepted your offer, but before you arrive.

I'll expect inventories of your loot every evening, when possible. Don't disappoint me.

[Just when Clive was trying to fall back asleep after waking up to that last text from Team Rocket, he's disturbed by yet another one. Come on, people, it's too early in the morning for this shit. 8( But he forces his eyes to stay open anyway and read through the whole text.]

I'll rendezvous with you. What do you have in mind?

[He has this plan thought out in detail, but that doesn't mean you aren't getting the short, snappy "hook" version first.]

I need someone to defeat me.

[Clive can understand why something like that would be necessary, so he won't even bother asking him to clarify.]

What levels are your Pokémon at?

Mostly mid-forties.

As you're my Johto senior, we wouldn't even have to act, would we?

[He still hates admitting he's less powerful. But it'll serve him well, in this case.

(And his audience isn't even allowed to see half his Pokémon, so they won't suspect him later.)]

[Mid-forties... Oh Malik, you're such a precious baby...]

Not even in the slightest.

I'm assuming one of us will be in uniform while the other will be in normal clothes?

[You try having time to train when you're duping your arch-nemesis 24/7. :( I mean. If the trap is laid well enough, battles become moot!]

With an audience, yes. I'm wearing the latter.

Everything should be in place by mid-afternoon, should the pieces move as planned.

[An audience... Oh boy...]

All right, but would it be okay with you if I disguised myself? There are two people in the city that absolutely cannot see me in my Team Rocket uniform, and especially not terrorizing an "innocent person."

That would be ideal, in fact.

We can also battle inside the Game Corner, if you prefer. Within reason - we wouldn't want any more accidents.

[Says the guy who helped the guy who tried to blow up Team property. Whoops.]

It doesn't matter to me where we battle. I'm fine with whatever your preference is.

Then let's see how things stand when it happens.

[Though he's leaning towards outside: after pointing out no one should actually damage Team hideouts he isn't about to be the cause.]

I'll contact you again once everything's in place.

[[poking on plurk works once malik & yuugi (his "audience") are where he wants?]]

All right then.

[Time to go the fuck back to sleep now.]

(( That's fine with me! ))
