“Machamp, high lens. No, no, not that one. You know what, just wait in the car. Things might get a bit dicey, and I’d like a good escape route.”
Two piles of muscle stood at the edge of a icey chasm, a machamp, and its even more muscular professor, wearing a tattered labcoat. The machamp was stomping on the ground as it made it s way to the car, muttering its name under its breath.
The professor didn’t seem perturbed in the least as he set up a mountain of instruments on the ground. Despite the ice around them, he didn’t wear more than the broken labcoat. On one of the screens he was messing with, a blip suddenly showed up.
“Yes! Yes! Yes!” Out of the chasm a blue blur flew past. Majestic, frost covered feathers blowing in the night air, leaving a sparkling trail as it flew by, its wintery tail trailing in it. Its eye turned, and brown eyes locked with the professor. “No! No! No! Machamp! Start the car!”
Turning towards him, a bright blue aura formed in its mouth, and a beam shot towards the large man, who just managed to dive out the way in time, a glacier of ice forming where he had been standing the entire time. He was laughing. It flew away a bit, the beam recharging.
“Magnificant! Machamp, go!” He grabbed the back of the jeep in one hand, and lifted himself into the passenger seat just as the the jeep shot forward. Another glacier of ice formed where they had been, the professor ducking as an icicle speared where his head had gone. “Go! Go! Go!”
The car continued swirving missing the large blasts of ice as a ‘♪Hooked on a feeling♪’ started blasting in the car. Grabbing his phone, the professor was instantly greeted by screaming.
“Professor Joshua! Where have you been!? I’ve been trying to get you for the last two hours.”
“Field research dear. Oof.” The car swirved again. “How can I help?”
“You have assistants for that.”
“Not field research like this!"
“There’s some legendary pokemon chasing you right now, isn’t there?”
A terrible screech resounded, shaking the car. “No? Anyways, details, woman! What do you need!”
“Its team Blackleaf! They broke into a mansion in the Arcus Oasis. Where are you now?”
“There’s a mansion in Vera Valle? Oof. Persistent bird! Don’t make me wrestle you myself, you damn frozen bird! Anyways, I’m in the Nacreous Glaciers, a wee bit busy setting up instruments. Send out some of the new trainers.”
“Sir, this is a criminal organization, do you really think children are the best idea?”
“Damnit! That mirror was expensive. Anyways, yes I do. They are the rising generation, and I see potential in a few of them. Call up Micah, Daria, and Lena. Those three should do. SHIIIT!”
Screeching metal resounded across the phone call, followed by fires starting. Then heavy panting as Professor Joshua and Machamp continued running on foot.
“Was that the jeep?”
“Yes. Yes it was, anyways, I’m rather busy. What else you got for me.”
“Well, we’re hearing some rumblings of unusual sightings in the Cirriform ruins. We’re curious if its a new pokemon, or many a legendary. Was going to have you check it out, but it looks like the jeeps out of commission for a bit.”
“Send Akira, Ianthe, and Laren out. Anything else?”
“Yes, send me the code to the transmitter I know you set up. I’ll rather set it up now than when you’re in the hospital in a few minutes.”
“Really woman!?” The sound of crackling ice interupted the conversation. “Same password as everything else, add a 86 at the end! Anything else!?”
“Nope. Happy hunting.”
==================================
Across a warehouse, various blackleaf grunts moved boxes, and loaded up vehicles. One particularly paranoid one kept watch. One face seemed completely unperturbed. Sitting atop a crate, he threw a pokeball up and down.
“We have the weather rod…. A generator… we’re just missing the key pokemon for this next operation. You! What grunts are open right now?”
A man in a newsy cap was straining against a box. He stopped, looking up at the man on the box, and motioned to himself with his finger.
“Yes you.”
“Well, I mean, I could.”
“You’ve got to get this stuff ready by tonight, and I mean tonight. I meant what newbies are here?”
“There’s that clown kid. Baron something.”
“Baron Arthur Legends. Get him. Maya and Kenneth should also be around.”
“Sir, if you don’t mind me asking… why do you know everyone’s names?”
“Because if we’re going to catch a legendary, we’ll have to do the impossible. And I will use every tool at my disposal to do so. I can also tell you every wrench in this damn warehouse, and how many cops in Cumulo we’ve paid off, and their names. It’s a small thing to learn a face or two. If you don’t have everyone’s name here down by the end of the week, you’re fired.”
“Y-yes sir.”
“Get those three to me for a quick briefing. After that, I want a field report from Anlon and his group.”
A siren sounded in the distance, and the entire warehouse started to panic. A loud voice boomed through it.
“QUIET! I’ll take care of it, back to work!”
“D-do you still want me to get those three for a briefing, M-mansel?”
“Did I say I wanted you to cancel it? This won’t take but five minutes. Tell them to ignore the sirens and be here in five minutes. If it takes me more than five minutes, have my admins take care of it.”
The man leapt down the boxes, and snatched a pokemon from his belt, holding the ball in front of his face as he walked out. “Let’s go Dragalge.”
