These wannabe unversed are worthless.

I seriously have to train them to make them stronger?

Pathetic.


[Hello, fellow Rockets! A newcomer is in your midst and...frankly he's just unimpressed with everything. And bored.]

Where can I find better ones?

[For those lucky enough to be wandering the hallways, Vanitas won't be hard to miss. Rather than change into his Team Rocket issued uniform like he'd been told, the young man is still wearing his outfit from home--helmet and all. He's got two tag-alongs in his exploration, one being his Phantump and the other his Woobat.

The first is drifting along quietly and obediently, pausing whenever Vanitas does to avoid running into it's master. The Woobat, however, is darting all over the place having the time of it's life now that he's out of his Pokeball!

Which of course just makes Vanitas hate it even more.]


You're pathetic. [The Woobat just squeaked in delight and Vanitas rolled his eyes behind his mask before veering down another hallway to see who or what he could find.]

And lo, down this hallway was none other than Walter, wearing his black Rocket shirt, white lab coat and with his hair tied back. His Weavile, Joseph, was at his side, occasionally scratching a mark into the walls to denote something, as Walter himself was going over a clipboard of information.

He spotted the strange, masked person at the other end of the hallway - and then carried on with his life, returning to his clipboard without pause. He was not interested and had more important things on his mind than the other recruits. While he had spotted the Woobat...that's what Joseph was here for.

On the one hand, Walter couldn't believe this was happening for a third time. Why everyone approached him in Team Rocket, he just didn't know. But it certainly was becoming a pattern. But he had learned that the quickest way to get rid of someone was to answer them; his default tactic of ignorance hadn't worked out so far.
"What is your question."

He shied away from the Woobat but Joseph gave a toothy smile and greeted it, jumping up to Walter's shoulder and nuzzling him slightly.

"He is a Weavile. I obtained him on Four Island, in the Ice Cave." While Walter wasn't fond of bats, he levelled Vanitas with a cool gaze. He knew Phantumps. He had one of his own and knew what they supposedly were. He had never liked people who used their control to torment children. Joseph tilted his head and narrowed his eyes, also disliking Vanitas for interrupting his conversation wit his Woobat.

"No, I do not know that name. Is that all?" Assuming it was, he waited for Vanitas to merely confirm it so he could leave.

"...It's Four Island. Of the Sevii Islands. It cannot be made any simpler. And no. But I have other things to be doing." Walter answered, still as calm and cool as could be.

Joseph looked between Walter and the boy, and then to the Phantump. And winked. Don't worry lil guy! His trainer knows what he's doing.
11121_assumption: (Sounds wrong)

"You cannot have him." Walter said curtly. "He is loyal to me." Joseph purred, nuzzling Walter's scruffy jaw.

"The information you want is provided when you arrive." Walter had made a point of actually looking at his Gear and familiarising himself with what it had to say about his partners and his location. And afterwards, the training had established everything else. This was purely on Vanitas for not paying attention.

So a book could be faked...but he didn't think people could also just lie. Walter casually slipped a pokeball from his belt, holding it lightly in his hand. And he didn't realise that while human loyalty was a flimsy, weak thing, the loyaty of Pokemon was something else entirely.

He turned to leave. He had answered Vanitas' questions. He refused to hand over his Pokemon. There was nothing else to discuss.

Joseph grinned and pulled a face at Vanitas as a parting shot. Later loser.

Both were big, big mistakes. Walter jostled back as the Woobat was shoved in his face, dropping the Pokeball. As Vanitas reached for Joseph the Weavile hissed and swiepd at him.

And before he could try to reach him again, a large, fluffy pink Bewear appeared in a flash of light, directly in his way, looking down on him with a low rumble. Walter remained stoic but he was actually very, very grateful for Robbie's appearance.

"Do not come near me. Or Robbie will remove you." He warned Vanitas. Joseph slid into his arms instead, watching with sharp eyes.

Walter didn't even need to move.

Robbie swung his arm and smacked Vanitas. In human terms, even putting force behind such a motion, wouldn't be so impressive. But Robbie was a very strong, highly trained Bewear who didn't hold back when ordered to attack. So when he swung, it was with enough power to snap a telephone pole - aimed right at Vanitas' face.

Whent he attack connected, Joseph screeched in laughter.

"Night Slash." Walter said calmly. But he wasn't speaking to Robbie now - Joseph gave another manic, gleeful cry and launched off him, claws glistening with darkness and slashing through the ghost. It was overkill, it was a strong attack, it was super effective, Joseph was many, many levels above the Phantump.

Looking over at Vanitas calmly, Walter gently touched Robbie's back.

Walter calmly walked up to Vanitas, followed by Robbie. "They would kill you." He explained, very calmly and very slowly. "And I would kill you." Robbie growled and nodded.

Joseph gave the Woobat a look. "He's right you know. If your trainer tried to take me, I'd take his throat out! So if you like him alive, keep him back....or if you want him dead, just say so. These humans come back, so we cna kill him again and again and again!"

"Then he will die! Again and again and again." Joseph shrugged, with a big toothy grin. "Our Trainer has endured suffering. But we won't let him suffer."

Walter simply straightened and motioned for Robbie to come with him. Joseph paused however, quickly looking over the Woobat. "Hey...if he turns out too bad to ya...the stealing thing isn't just a one way street." He winked, before jumping up to Walter's shoulder again as they left towards the labs. Restricted access meant it was safe from people like Vanitas.

[Wow, stick out a little harder, why don't you. Seeing as Vanitas is an obvious newcomer, Manaka is all ready to sweep in and offer help and feel out how useful he might be to her — but then he opens his mouth, and she pauses on her way to intercept him, standing several feet away as she tilts her head and watches him.]

Eh? That's not very nice of you to say! [...Of course, the sincerity of her objection is questionable when her tone of voice is as light as the smile on her face.] What's wrong with letting it enjoy itself?

[If Vanitas (or maybe his Pokemon) found themselves hungry at some point during their relentless prowling of the facility, they might eventually stumble across the cafeteria and its many smells of varying degrees of appetizing-ness!]

[And in doing so, they might, in addition, come across three individuals.]

[The first, an enormous purple LUMP tipping part of one of the tables slightly upwards-- it's a Granbull who apparently decided the place to be was 'partially wedged under a seat five times smaller than himself'.]

[The second, a tiny, easily-missed blue bat hunkered down on top of the table and nibbling on a single grape.]

[The third: a wild-haired youth of... frankly indeterminate gender at first glance. Said youth is hunched over a piece of paper and scribbling wildly with a marker. Also muttering. He's very engrossed in his task.]

[Investigate? Y / N]
