"...you don't even know the half of it, buddy. Keep it quieter than even the most silent grave. We don't need my other cousin to show up as well. Nor do I want our coworkers to know about the specifics of that particular event."
Silence.
"...look, I'm not calling to talk about that right now. There's a more immediate issue currently. Namely, that fallout zone. I don't think I need to remind you why THAT particular issue is worrying, so I need ya to do me a favor and cover the cost of a set of Elite Riot Gear at the Survival Kings stand. Total of that particular purchase is $25k. And if you've turned up anything at all on what might be going on there, I need to know sooner rather than later."
An audible wince resounded across the connection as you brought up you all well too known cousin, as if the mere allusion pained him in some way. "Nooooooooo, we definitely don't need that red head having any reason to make an unschedualed trip to Celadon, 'cause we all will end in up in deep dragon doo doo by the end of it, if you catch my drift. I'll damn well screw a tight enough lid on this to keep from getting out, so mum is the word from here on out!"
...
"......Yeah, but I just wanted to let you know anyway, 'cause you don't have to handle this by yourself. He He He....I know you and opening up 'bout this type of stuff comes as naturally as a spritely Fairy type queing up with the sleepy Poison types, but if you ever talk about it sometime, I'll be right there in a jiffy, with plenty of stiff drink and all the time in the world. What are friend for, if we can't stand by them when they need it?"
Silence for a moment, before he picked right up again in a much more chipper tone and continued like nothing heavy was declared.
"Anyway, you are cutting it rather close to what the Boss considers coverable under a Favor, but I can get you the Poke lickty split. Just wait outside the stand, and I'll send my Gengar over to with the care package. Have to say I'm surprised a stall is carrying premium Imperius Machina tech, but if I recall correctly Grillsby runs that place, so maybe he haggled them of his old army friends somehow. Anyone wearing that sweet gear is pretty much impervious to Radiation and most of what natural and science can through at ya, though, so we got nothing to complain about, am I right buddy?"
(...)
"About that.....I have some good news and bad news about the Nuclear Research Facility. Good news is that its seems that all the reports I could scrounge up about Nuclear Pokémon indicate they are confined to that area, and that nobody but the National Guard is loitering around that place, so you don't have to worry too much about going on a wild goose chase hunting glowing green monsters around the city, and you have free reign of the place once you slip past the cordon they have around that area. Oh, and that I managed to grab the security codes that'll open the gates and front doors of the facility without triggering all the alarms and any defense systems they could afford. That'll make it much easier for you to get into the place without stirring up the wrong type of trouble, but once you are in there you are on your own buddy. Sorry about that..."
"Bad news.....well, I'll be blunt and quick about it: it seems that place wasn't as mothballed as we first thought. Not by a longshot. Turns out that despite the City Council closing things down their officially several years back, it seems like some bigwigs from the Central Tohjo Government Branch and the United League Federation quietly moved in and restarted things under the city's noses a few months later. Been quietly opporated and kept real hush hush ever since until about 3 months ago, when something happened that caused all activity their to grind to a bloody halt. Couple weeks after that the first reports of Corrupt Nuclear Pokémon prowling the streets around the place and near incident and the National Guard swoop in to contain the situation and....well, that's just about all they've been doing actually. Well, 'sides from sending a couple of recon teams into the place, but from what I read they the first one came back missing a couple of members, and the remaining looking like all the worlds evils came and tore them into like a fat kid and a ham shank, and was and the other one....they didn't come back at all."
"Since then they've been monitoring the place, and shooting down anything that tries to enter or leave the place unauthorized. So yeeeaaah......something is Wishiwashi with that place before shit hit the fan, and now its become so dangerous that even the National Guard struggling to do more than seal the area.......or they've been ordered to ONLY do that, 'cause I know those guys have bunker busters and enough heavy ordinance they could have easily turn the whole facility into a pile of rumble. Either way, they're doing jack all to fix that mess currently, and if nothing is done about it that whole mess might not be the only thing that could go Critical..... If push comes to shove Team Rocket going to either have to start throwing its weight around to get the job of scrubbing that place clean done right, or pull up and move shop somewhere faaaar away from Celadon, and I can tell you right neither option will make ANYONE happy or better off than before, least of all us. Hopefully you and Mew can do what the feds can't, as otherwise I'm not seeing any endings without a whole lot of drama, death, or dramatic deaths. Take your pick, 'cause they are all equally awful!"
".....That being said, is their anything else you need? Speak now or forever hold your piece, He He He.....yeah, I ain't got nothing that can lighten things up. Damn it all...."
