    Romeo pays the man. 'Right, now we just need to grab Artemis and head south.' Elly was bouncing at his heels, wanting fed. She'd have to wait till they got outside the city.

    Artemis is about half way to the gate when a thought occurs to her. -Oh, guys. If you pass a TM shop, could you ask the guy about Artemis Frerin's Ralts? I dropped him off there a while ago.-

    Paul shrugs at the Center attendant.

    Sorry sweetheart, but no pain, no experience gain. Hopefully I at least won't need to be back here the rest of the day, but who knows?

    Paul checks on the strange egg he had found on the floor of his place after a rather wild party, then decides to return to the park where he saw the battlers earlier, to help recruit people for the demonstration tomorrow and perhaps get his Pokemon a bit more prepared for Team Rocket's assignment.

    You find the same crowd as earlier at the park. Another battle is going on, one between what your Pokedax identifies as a Picachoo and a Bulbazaurus.

    "Artemis. Got your ralts."
    He nods his head as the group meets again, and Sparky crawls down his back to the pokeball on his belt and lifts it up.
    "Careful with him, application puts strain on them."

    "So I assume you get my text then?" A quick scan of the thoughts reveals they did, and she takes the ball from Gerald. She begins walking. So what are the other geniuses of the group thinking for the job? If it weren't as good as they said I'd assume that we could just trade it, but I doubt he would. Friendly threat maybe? A sort of 'We work for the company that made that Pokémon. It is very important that we return it before others find out and come after you.' sort of thing. Heck, Mr. Sleep-With-Everyone is probably smooth enough to make it believable.

    I concur. If it is as powerful as we have been led to believe, I doubt he will trade it willingly. Though your "friendly threat" as you put it sounds promising. We must be clear that he is in danger but we are trying to protect him and we are not the aggressor. Though we should have a back up plan. If that plan fails, he will know our faces, he probably won't trust us afterwards. So we need to act in stealth or immdiatly when the first plan fails.

    It'd be good to root through motors tomorrow, finding problems and making them good as new. Hadn't been able to get anyone to take him seriously enough to even give him this much of a shot after the gear grind.

    Of course. Like I said, we technically do work for the company. We're simply asking politely to reclaim lost property, but others, less savory people than us, might come after him if word gets leaked, which we fear may have happened. We might have to bribe him a bit, but he should give in to reason. If not, we come in in the middle of the night, accidents happen, put the blame on Devon somehow and we're good. Of course that should be a worst case scenario. Murder gets very messy very quickly. She puts extreme emphasis on 'worst case scenario.' As long as we have a plan and stick to it, we ought to be fine.

    A few people yell at you. Only one person there seems to recognize you, a wizened old man.

    "Quite you kids!" the man shouts, striding into the center of this ring. "When you were all snot nosed little kids, this guy was a great Pokemon Trainer," he says to some booing. "Now, let's see you take him down!" he yells at a kid that was booing the loudest who can't be older than 10.

    "Alright, bring it on!" he says in possibly the most annoying high pitched voice ever. "Clear the ring!"

    Boiler explosions work well for cover ups. Little evidence left. Probably frowned upon, though. Let's wait and see what kind of person we're after-he may want to join, meaning things might go smoother still.
    He pauses for a second.
    Sorry, the first part is why I need help.

    Artemis's look is positive at the suggestion. No, it's not a bad idea. Just questionable why he was messing with a boiler in the first place. Of course a bullet to the head from a silenced gun is just as effective. Or slitting his throat, a gas leak igniting in his house or even a little mental lobotomy.
    Her mind begins to wander on various ways to kill or otherwise prevent their being pursued with their limited resources.
    Hm, we could probably simply steal it in his sleep probably. No blood, no mess, no death. A simple theft. He was warned that this might happen. We just need a way to direct his attention away from us. Maybe warn him this evening and come after him a different day if he says no. Makes us less suspicious, lets him even think on it. The problem is misdirecting him from who stole it. Ideas? Oh, and if it comes to bribery, who has money to offer? I know its tight right now for a lot of us, but it might make things a lot easier.

    The boiler's bad because of collateral damage. What about threats of lawyers? Court case might scare him enough to settle. Too easy to lose everything against a wealthy company, right?

    We could tell him its unstable. For exapmle, if we let it out of its special stasis container for too long it can start going on rampages or cause a critical meltdown, triggering massive fires in the city. As for blame, we can easily pin it on Team Magma. They would jump at a chance to capture a fire type this powerful.

    Dressing up may not be neccesary. Just a simple disguise on a few of us. Me and Romeo approach the boy claiming to be from the company that created it and warn him of the dangers. If he does not give up the Slugma immidiatly, we leave politly informing him where he can find us. Then the others will appear shortly after, claiming to be be Magmas, and roughing him up. If he still doesn't give it up, a stealth mission may be required.

    I like it. When do you propose we do this? Wait, would being threatened cause him to actually report us? I'm not too familiar with law, but I'm guessing Rocket doesn't like their members to have a criminal record on file with the police.

    'I don't want to interupt the brain trust here, but if I may.' Romeo had given Elly her food and she was chowing down on it while he was checking over his egg.

    'This person is a member of the fighter side, right? I have a contact there who is positive to me. Very positive. I'm meeting her tonight. I could try and find out more information on this guy before we try anything. All we know is he has 3 strong pokemon and a friend. If we do this without planning, he could take us all down. I dont plan in getting my ass kicked agian so soon if that's okay.'

    Artemis rolls her eyes. "Well announce our plans to the world then why don't you!" She grumbles a bit. But I suppose you're right. If we threaten him he might get aggressive. You chat with your woman tonight and DON'T **** IT UP and we'll communicate the current plan to Paul. We can meet with you tomorrow. She looks at him with brief disgust as his mind flicks to the fighting girl. Calm, Artemis. You have to work with this guy. "Are you any good with disguising people? We can't exactly do this as ourselves."
