[Viridian City Discovered]

[You received 10,000 points]

Hmm, this is very good. To think that I’d get so much points just from finding Viridian City. On a side note it seems as though that the city looks similar to the anime version rather than the video game, which makes more sense considering that in the game the number of buildings didn’t even pass double digits. As for the points, I’ll take a look at them in the store later on and see what I can purchase with them, but first it’s time to meet Giovanni.

Staravia makes a slow descent in front of the Gym and walked inside, with me in the bag still. At first it looks like a regular Pokemon Gym from it’s appearance. A big open battle field with a plain ground with only painted white lines to show the outlines of the field and some seats for spectators to watch from. Very plain. Staravia heads towards a hidden elevator at the back of the room, hidden behind a big statue of the Viridian Gym Badge. After a few minutes of waiting inside it started to move automatically. It’s probably done manually by some Team Rocket grunt acting as surveillance. Once the doors slide open, I was encountered by a very metallic looking hallway with a glossy floor and armed to the teeth with people in uniforms everywhere, either on patrol duty or getting to where they need to be.

Staravia continued to march on through to the end of the hallway where we were met with another elevator, not automatic this time. It wasn’t long until we reached the bottom level. This time though instead of meta, it was stone, a stone hallway with statues of various people all lined up against the wall with a red carpet in the middle. It gave off a mysterious vibe, like I was about to enter the depths of the earth.

Soon enough Staravia had already pushed open the wooden door into an office like room with a man calmly sitting in a black leather chair behind his big wooden desk and a Persian at his side, and was wearing a formal black suit. It’s Giavanni. At his side there were two others. One was wearing the standard black uniform with some slight differences and had blue hair, and the other had red wavy hair and a white one-piece dress that looked similar to a suit, I have no idea I’m not a fashion designer. They were Team Rocket executives Proton and Ariana.

“Sir! Mr and Mrs Quill’s Staravia has arrived with a package!”

The grunt that escorted us said Quill. Are those my parents?

“You’re dismissed for now.” (Proton)

“Sir!”

“Seems that they’ve finally sent us an update.” (Ariana)

“Well, they sent it so it’s a well and good isn’t it? They’re under a lot of pressure, being under the eyes of the Government and all. Just be grateful we have any data.” (Proton)

So my theory was right after all. My parents were assaulted by the Government. Not that I’m deterred from my revenge plan or anything.

“Let’s take a look in the bag shall..... uuhh.” (Proton)

Giovanni’s once calm look turns sour with furrowed brows, staring intensely at me as I was taken out of the bag. Scary~. Please don’t look at me like that, I can’t control myself in this baby state. At this rate my body’s gonna start crying.

And just like that, i started bawling my eyes out.

“The heck is a kid doing here?! Do they take us for fools!” (Ariana)

“I actually have to agree with you on this.” (Proton)

“Sir, we should just get rid of the chi-” (Ariana)

“Enough.” (Giavanni)

With a deep voice Giovanni silenced the whole room. Not with a loud voice, but one that seemed to be authoritative and commanding, making those who hear it follow and obey on reflex. The signs of a great and powerful leader.

“The child belongs to the Quill family, the boy’s name is Red Quill.” (Giovanni)

“”What?!”” (Proton & Ariana)

“I was informed of his birth earlier this month, he’s only 6 months of age right now. For them to send him to us means that they’ve been compromised.” (Giovanni)

”....There appears to be a USB and some floppy disks still in the bag. What should we do boss?” (Proton)

“Proton, you’ll gather a search and rescue team with Staravia and return to where The Quill’s were last seen. Ariana, you’ll bring the data to the others and start looking through what we have to work with. As for the child.... we’ll need t raise him ourselves, I’m willing to bring him in as my own son if necessary. If he were to go to an orphanage and was somehow found by the officials then who knows what they’d do considering his family background.” (Giovanni)

“Sir, though I’m not against you raising the child. However, we’ve got our hands full at the moment and need you to attend to a lot of internal matters within the organisation before anything.” (Ariana)

“How about we get someone else to raise him?” (Proton)

“Who do have in mind?” (Ariana)

..............No......no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.......not them.

“Prepare for trouble.”

“Make it double.”

“To protect the world from devastation.”

“To unite all peoples within our nation.”

“To denounce the evils of truth and love.”

“To extend our reach to the stars above.”

“Jessie!”

“James!”

“Team Rocket, blast off at the speed of light.

“Surrender now or prepare to fight.”

“Meowth! That’s right!”

.........I’m gonna cry for real.

“Boss! What are your orders?” (Jessie)

“Just tell us what ya want and we’ll get it done for ya.” (Meowth)

“We are yours to command” (James)

”.... *ahem* The reason I called for you today is to appoint a special mission for you three.” (Giovanni)

“””Ooohhh!~””””

“Just say the word boss!” (Meowth)

“You are to keep this child under your protection at all times. He is the son of some of the founding members of this organisation, unfortunately they’ve gone missing and no one here is able to take care of him. So I’ll be leaving him in your care. That is all, dismissed.”

“””Eh?”””

And so began my life with the bumbling trio of Team Rocket.
