[Game] Lord Windos' PokeRole Adventure: Celadon City Vandel

[Dragonstrike]

Spoiler

"Your most welcome. Yes..... Proton informed me you did well in accomplishing that mission,  completing it quickly without once being detected and escaping well before the alarm was raised. Most impressive, Mr. Arendse...."

After that perfunctory greeting/praise was conducted, Archer listed to your report with that characteristic detatched, analytical gleam in his eyes, before he minutely raised on of his eyebrows at you.

"That is a rather......vague and open ended explaination, Mr. Arendse, and do believe I asked for a detailed report of your activities, no a summation. Last reports indicated that the Gym Leader tried to persuade you into accompanying her back to Blackthorn, and you managing to calm her down and lead her to the Tea Shop for further conversation, before survaliance was lost and you regained contact with Team Rocket several hours later. Both Giovanni and all the Executives, including myself, wish for a complete recounting of event in the interval of time so that we can fully assess for ourselves the full ramification of Clair's unannounced arrival in Celadon, so if you would please clarify and expand on your statements....."

The sharply dressed gentleman, after taking a moment to give you an expectant stare, then continued without hardly missing a beat.

"I see your missions from the Boss hold the highest priority for you.....a most excellent thing indeed. It a most respectable and laudible quality to have such dedication, and I encourage you to cultivate. After all, you are soon to be the Boss' newest Executive, Mr. Arendse."

"Getting back on topic, we dispatch some Grunt to the location you indicated, and have indeed found and secure the areas. Management and harvesting of the various fields has commenced, and fortunately there were a couple of fully mature Balm Mushrooms ready to be picked. They will be sent once this meeting is conclude."

A faint but definitely genuine smile appeared on the Executive's face at this point, and a bit more warmth crept in his polite tone of voice.

" With this, Erika will be firmly and definitely placed under Team Rocket's control, moving the organization one step closer to fully consolidating our control and powerbase in Celadon City. A most monumentous occasion indeed, one that will greatly please the Boss...... I congradulate you for job done most excellently, Mr. Arendse. You've have and will have done Team Rocket a great service accomplishing your missions this week, helping further our goals of achieving complete and utter control of the Tohjo region. On behalf of the Boss, I thank you. Your tireless work and dedication will be amply rewarded, and I believe he couldn't be prouder of you, in my humble opinion....."

Well, seeing Archer smile was...weird.

It wasn't going to last long though, that's for sure.

"Not much of particular interest.  I attempted to have a nice chat with her, it then devolved into a battle which I barely managed to convince her to keep away from the city's population (and rightly so, since that explosion everyone heard was a couple of Z moves clashing with each other), and then I beat her in that battle and KOed her.  Took her pokemon and possessions off of her, made her disappear.  I'll finish my business with her at a later date, when I don't have a load of other things to worry about."

"I can tell you right now what the consequences of her not succeeding in her mission are, though.  You familiar with what a Wild Hunt is, Archer?  Because when Clair fails to return to Blackthorn with me in tow, that's what the Elders have planned next.  Dragon Tamers are going to be swarming the region, and they're all going to be looking for me.  We have maybe a week tops after the Flower Festival to prepare for that.  At best."
