{Please let me be doing this properly, I have next to no RP experience} A girl, with reddish hair with a bright green streak in it that falls across her right cheek, enters the building she's been told is the Rocket HQ. By her side is an Umbreon, who has a scar on his nose and has a slight golden tinge to his fur. "Verdant, look cool and poised, this is an important day, got it?" says the girl to the Umbreon. "Hello? Hello!?" She calls out into the empty room, without any response. "Ugh! Hmm... Petal, come out!" She tosses a Poke Ball into the air and a yellowish Glaceon with a flower behind her ear comes out. "Pet, use Fake Tears to make someone show up please!" The Glaceon begins sniffling and then wailing, drawing out from the wings...

A Persian.
The curious feline trotted out into the entrance hall from the dark hallways, stopping in the doorway. However, it wasn't just any old Persian. It was Lucius, the pet that Tara never seemed to be without. He tilted his head, watching the two of them. Then, hearing a sound behind him, turned and let out a low meow.
Footsteps approached, and soon Tara had joined them, somewhat flustered that the Persian had run off down the hallway when she was in the middle of an experiment. She paused, looking up to see the three in the entrance hall.
"Ah, I see. So you three are why Lucius ran off so abruptly. I see you are new to Team Rocket; is this your first time in the Headquarters?"

"Yup. I didn't feel like waiting so I had Petal... speed things up." She glances at the Glaceon who is now washing her paws.
"I'm Claudia, and this is Verdant," she gestures to the Umbreon who is yawning. "I'm pissed at many people and I'd like to hurt each and every one of them. When to I get to go after them?" Claudia is practically snarling by the end of this statement, and the Umbreon is growling, the two clearly sharing a deep emotional link. She takes a deep breath and calms down, Verdant calming with her.
Claudia notices the Persian staring at her. "Here kitty, here kitty-kins!" She coos and smiles at the Persian. What an abrupt change in attitude!

Tara was silent, watching her thoughtfully. She had potential, and quite a bit of it... but seemed quite volatile when it comes to her emotions. Well, who said that the members of Team Rocket were stable, anyhow?
When she began to coo at Lucius, the Persian growled and laid back his ears, staying close to his master. Tara laughed at his reaction, and he quieted down, casting a confused glance at her. He didn't know why she found that funny, but he didn't expect any explanation, and nor did she give one, ignoring his glance.
"Don't mind him; he doesn't like people very much. In fact, I doubt he likes anything other than himself, but there's no denying that he considers me his only superior." Tara told Claudia with a hint of a smile. While Lucius grumbled in irritation at what she said about him, Tara continued speaking.
"I am quite intrigued, Claudia. We get quite a few recruits who have grudges, but none with ones as intense as your's. You can go after them whenever you feel you're ready, but first, I'd like to tell you that it won't do much good until you've gotten enough experience and training. That's something that only Team rocket can offer, which, I'm sure, is why you're here. Tell me, who do you most want to get back at? Who is the one person you carry more fury at than any other?"

"Hmm... My high school's human anatomy teacher. She dissects cats." Claudia snarls, with both Petal and Verdant bristling in agreement. "I want to bring her misery. Lots of misery. And maybe a few scars from cat claws." She grins maliciously at the mental image of the woman suffering under the paws of the creatures she cared little about.
Claudia looks at Lucius who is growling slightly, and then at Tara. "Do you think she deserves the same pain as those cats did in their last moments?" She says softly in an icy voice, and she and her Pokemon all staring intensely at Tara.
"Teach me to cause pain, for I wish to give it to those who deserve it. Team Rocket is good at pain inflicting if my information is accurate. Am I mistaken?"

Tara was quiet for a moment, listening to her. She seemed to be very fond of cat pokemon.. Interesting. She ignored the question, for now, instead responding,
"We know how to inflict all kinds of damage. I can teach you psychological warfare, or perhaps help you gain the strength you need to inflict all kinds of vengeance upon your enemies. Which one would you prefer?"

"Hmm... Is all of the above an option?"

Tara's mouth quirked in a small small, finding their new recruit a bit amusing. She nodded, casting a glance over the pokemon beside her. After a moment, she placed her hand on Lucius' head, unconsciously petting him while she considered.
"Hmm.. I suppose it is. I have no problem with it. After all, you do seem to have the potential to become quite a Rocket. You have the motivation and drive to go far, something that we always need in our members."

"Excellent. Where do I begin?" Claudia says with a grin.
*snoring*
"Verdant!" She yells at the Umbreon who is fast asleep at her feet. "Could you focus for like ten minutes! Return!" She groans as she returns him to his Poke Ball. "Sorry about him, he has the attention span of a Rattata. At least you're alert Peta-" She cuts off as she sees Petal curled in a mound of fur. "Return," Claudia sighs. "There's no finding good help these days is there?"

Tara's smile grew slightly wider at the girl's exasperated comment. She didn't know how right she was, considering the reputation that Team Rocket had been given by their defeat at the hands of a mere child. They had been made to look like a bunch of incompetent fools, and she planned to make sure that Team Rocket would never seem that way, under her leadership.
"For right now, I'd like to see how you and your pokemon work together. Would you object to a small battle? Nothing too serious, of course, I just want to see how well you do, and how you work with your pokemon. From there, it will be easy for me to tell where you should begin your training."

"Okay. Frost Leaves! Verdant! Petal! C'mon out!" Claudia tosses three Poke Balls into the air, releasing the two Pokemon she had just called back, and a grayish Leafeon with a twig in his mouth and a small hole in his tail. "Petal, Verdant, WAKE UP!!!" she yells at the two who had been napping, startling both awake. "So what kind of battle were you thinking? Single, Double, Triple?" Claudia inquires while scratching Petal behind the ears.

She certainly seemed eager enough, Tara had to admit. Removing a poke ball from her belt, she released her Mewtwo, who was one of her favorites.
"You may use however many of your pokemon that you feel you need. I, however, will only use one." she said, casually continuing her petting of Lucius, who enjoyed the rare opportunity.

(You're going to need to remember that when we start battles, you have to put the pokemon's stats in every post you make, until the battle is over, and keep track of your dodges. If you don't know your pokemon's stats, then for simplicity's sake since this isn't a real battle, use this generator. Also, typing with one hand, since I have a kitten sleeping on one of them.) | Mewtwo | Level 100 | Status: Poisoned (Toxic) | Pressure (Tension) | | HP: 353 | ATK: 281 | DEF: 216 | SP.ATK: 309 | SP.DEF: 216 | SPD: 296 | Dodge Count: 0/2 | Tara seemed somewhat pleased by the sneak of the first attack, but seemed to want to do nothing to stop it. Mewtwo took the Toxic, allowing himself to be poisoned. He glanced at his trainer, as if wondering why she had him fighting a new recruit, and she gave him a small shrug in return. That was all the answer that the Mewtwo needed, apparently, as he turned towards the Umbreon whom he was supposed to be battling. He didn't make a move to attack, but instead seemed to be waiting. | Poison damage: 22 | HP: 331 |

(um okay, trying to do this right)

"Okay Verdant, nice, now Confuse Ray!" Claudia commands.

(Looks fine to me~. ..Though just letting you know that if any of your attacks land, they'd only do 1 damage, even if they're super effective. xD; As for statuses that can go away, like confusion, you use a RNG. I do one that randomizes 1-100, and if it hits 50 or above, it means that my pokemon is no longer confused. However, since confusion lasts a maximum of four turns, if you're unlucky enough to remain confused that long, once you've done four randomizers, you don't have to do a fifth, since by then you're not confused anymore. Does that make sense?)
| Mewtwo | Level 100 | Status: Poisoned (Toxic), Confused | Pressure (Tension) | | HP: 331 | ATK: 281 | DEF: 216 | SP.ATK: 309 | SP.DEF: 216 | SPD: 296 | Dodge Count: 0/2 |
Tara seemed content to let Mewtwo simply remain immobile where he was, taking the attacks as they were thrown at him. He became confused, and chose again to do nothing. It seemed like Tara was only using Mewtwo as a means to see how Claudia took down her opponents, and she seemed to find her methods very intriguing.
| Poison Damage: 44 | HP: 287 |

Switch out! | Leafeon | Level 15 | Status: Normal | Leaf Gaurd | | HP: 51 | ATK: 40 | DEF: 54 | SP.ATK: 30 | SP.DEF: 31 | SPD: 40 | Dodge Count: 0/2 |
Claudia wondered why Tara was letting her use Mewtwo as a punching bag, and decided to work it to her advantage. "Verdant, switch out! Frost Leaves, your turn!"

She could have almost laughed out loud. What perfect timing. She was going to give her one more turn with Verdant out, and then have Mewtwo turn up the heat. But now she would be able to see how she fought with her Leafeon. She paused, noticing that the Toxic had begun to take its toll on the psychich pokemon. With a small frown, she commanded,
"Mewtwo, use Recover!"
(RNG: 81 (..lolwaitwhat?)) Almost as if his master's voice had snapped straight into his mind, Mewtwo was brought out of his confused state, and used Recover to heal himself.
| Recover: +176 (fully healed) | Poison damage: 66 | HP: 287 |

"Hmn... Frost! Use Dig!" She commands the Leafeon, then turns to Tara. "I'm not paying for any damage."

Tara only smiled softly, finding the girl to be quite the prodigy. Oh yes, she would go far. Without a word back to the trainer, she instructed her Mewtwo to repeat his move, and he once again healed himself from the damage that the poison had done to him earlier.
| Recover: +176 (fully healed) | Poison damage: 88 | HP: 265 |
