Chapter 2: Second Mission (1 / 2)!
[VIRIDIAN CITY, THE NEXT DAY]
The sun hung high in the sky as Officer Jenny and Officer Henry were patrolling the streets for any sign of Team Rocket.
I lazily stretched on the bed before switching on the Television.
"This is Viridian News, Where News runs wild." The reporter said, She had short brown hair and a nice face.
"Yesterday, Team Rocket struck the Viridian City Department store and looted it. They made away with many things...Team Rocket has gone too far, Even Officer Jenny and her assistant officer, Officer Henry lost against a member. Team Rocket carted away Evolution stones, TMs and most importantly, Potions, Super potions, Burn Heals, Paralyz heals and other things. This has to stop.
Why can't we come outside and see that our streets are safe, Must we be vindicated to these Hooligans who keep on reaping what they did not sow? No! This has to stop!
Team Rocket has dug deep into our economy, How can we not safely live in a city that we worked so hard to build?!..."
I turned off the T.V.
They're weak, they all are. If they weren't, They might be able to take on the Viridian Branch but now they're just talking about ending Team Rocket but that will never happen, No matter how many protagonists come and try to stop it, They'll never succeed. Why?? Because they're weak, Weak-willed idiots.
I got off my bed and stretched around, My share from the loot was on a table.
10 Carbos, 10 Calcium and my TMs. I gave Pikachu the Carbos to drink and it gained speed, It also drank the Calcium and its S.P Atk increased by a longshot.
I looked at the 10 TMs I had picked at random, They were:
o TM: Substitute.
o TM: Iron Tail.
o TM: Dragon Claw.
o TM: Acrobatics.
o TM: Thief.
o TM: Hydro Pump.
o TM: Double Team.
o TM: Agility.
o TM: Shockwave.
o TM: Thunder Punch.
I taught Pikachu Acrobatics, Agility, Double Team, Substitute, Shockwave and Thunder Punch since they were compatible.
Suddenly, Someone knocked on my door.
"Who's there?" I asked.
"It's Rick, Boss said I should call you and we should meet her at the meeting room." Rick said before leaving, "Also, You might have to wear your Team Rocket Uniform."
Three minutes later, Rick and I were in the meeting room with Lisa. Her beauty always seemed to amaze me whenever I saw her.
"Your fellow grunts were not able to catch any Beedrills yesterday and the Pewter branch is requesting them for their missions, I need both of you to go to Viridian Forest and capture 10 Beedrills with Red potential." She said, handing Rick a briefcase. The Briefcase contained Special Pokéballs which were black and had the Team Rocket Insignia on them.
"You have from now till the end of the week to capture them or you fail the mission," Lisa said with an expressionless face.
We left the Hotel in our normal clothes and went to Viridian Forest before changing to our Team Rocket grunt clothes and entering the Forest.
The Viridian Forest was Eerie in a way but I saw many bug Pokémon, Caterpie, Weedle and some others.
"Team Rocket grunts are required to train their Pokémon for missions, Apart from your starter, Team Rocket does not supply you with any more Pokémon. It's sort of simple, If you don't train your Pokémon and catch new ones, You won't be able to complete missions and if you don't complete missions, You don't get paid." Rick said.
"What about you?" I asked.
"Kid, I have 6 Pokémon with me. They are Rhyhorn, Weavile, Raticate, Pidgeotto, Fearow and Magnemite. Unlike Pokémon trainers, We are allowed to carry any amount of Pokémon with us." Rick replied, "The only reason I have a limited set of Pokémon is because i'm stuck in the Viridian Branch."
"Why haven't you been promoted?" I asked.
"Well, I have gone on 100 missions since I joined Team Rocket, Out of those 100, 50 missions were failures. I'm not blaming myself though, Viridian Branch is the easiest there is." Rick said.
"What do you mean by that?" I asked.
"Pewter Branch has become a hard place for business now that Flint has come back as the gym leader, With each higher branch, The death rates increase." Rick replied.
"But don't you want to leave Viridian City? Do you want to stay here forever?" I asked.
"I was getting to that, Kid. As I said, You also have to have connections. Requests are needed. There are two ways to get out of a Branch;
One, If you were requested by another branch and two, You get promoted by your Captain. Captain Lisa hasn't promoted anyone in a while now." Rick said, "I don't want to go to Pewter City branch or Vermilion city branch, The violence there because of the Gym leaders are high. If i'm requested in Cerulean City where the babes are, I'll go." Rick said with a smile, fantasizing about the girls.
Rick was a man, he was 30 years old right now so It's still a surprise he wasn't married.
He suddenly face-palmed himself.
"I forgot about our mission," He said as he tapped the R on his uniform. The R brightened up.
"I thought these clothes were just pieces of cloth," I said.
"It's not your fault, Every rookie thinks like that. Anyway, This scanner can be used for identifying potential." Rick explained as we walked into a Beedrill and he scanned its potential.
"Holy shit! It's a red one, Let's weaken it then capture!" Rick exclaimed, bringing out one of his trusted Pokémon, Weavile.
This was a Pokémon found in Kanto rarely and he encountered it years ago and caught it. I sent out Pikachu.
"Weavile! Let's start it off with Bulk up!" Rick ordered.
"Pikachu! Acrobatics!" I ordered. Pikachu soared into the air at blinding speed, crashing on Beedrill. A slashing sound was heard as a huge cut was made on Beedrill.
It was Super Effective.
"Seems like you made a decent haul of TMs, Weavile! Icy Wind!"
