Speical Delivery (Redo)

[DarkChaos44]

(continued from The Pier. I'll put a link in later.)

Chaos had just got back into the base after getting the package he was told to get earlier. His Sableye was right beside him, holding the parcel in its hands.

'Whatever is in that box must be important to Team Rocket. Even more if I was yelled at by a Admin just because I was supposed to bring it sooner.' Chaos thought as he walked down the hallway that led to the Bosses Office. Chaos wanted to give the package to the boss since he didn't want anyone trying to take credit for bringing it to the boss and also, Chaos had never seen the boss due to his low rank and to know what was in the box.

Chaos stopped before knocking on the door, taking in his thoughts of how he was going to do this. Finally gathering his thoughts, Chaos knocked on the door, hoping that the boss would be behind it.

[Tara]

"Enter." came a voice from inside of the office. There was a shuffling of papers, as if Tara were cleaning off her desk before her visitor could see them.

The inside of her office was cold and dimly lit, but apparently she was able to see well enough in the dark to read papers. The center of her office was filled with a large, elaborate wooden desk, with three chairs in front of it for any visitors. The walls directly next to the entrance were lined with sealed glass bookshelves, filled with a combination of pokeballs, CDs, and books. Behind the desk was a large, comfortable leather chair, which swiveled as Tara turned in it to greet her visitor. On the walls behind her flashed numerous screens, each of which showing security cameras of numerous places, including private chambers. That was probably how she knew what was going on at all times.

Lucius shifted on his comfortable bed, which probably looked similar to a beanbag chair. He was laying in the corner, next to a screen that displayed the entrance to the Rocket Headquarters.

[DarkChaos44]

As he heard the voice, Chaos opened the door. The cold air escaped out the door, blasting Chaos and Sableye as they entered. He quickly adapted his eyes to the darkness of the room as he walked to the desk. He stopped and bowed to the boss. "I`m here to deliver a package to you."

Sableye put the package above its head, layed it on the desk then backed away quickly.

Chaos kept his head down, waiting until he was told to. Sableye looked around the room until its eyes set on the Persian that was sitting in the corner.

[Tara]

Tara looked the package over, standing up from her chair to get a better look at it. Even Lucius pricked his ears slightly, but perhaps it was because he was keeping a close eye on the Sableye. Either way, Tara pulled the box a little closer, before glancing over at Chaos.

"How interesting. Where did you get this?" she asked him, before beginning to open the package.

[DarkChaos44]

Chaos looked up and answered. "Vermillion city, at the pier. I had been told by a Admin to pick up the package earlier, but due to a battle that I was challenged to by a fellow member of Team Rocket, I didn`t get breifed about it before running off." He took a moment to look around the room, but mostly on the screens. He only looked at one screen showing the same room that he was in. Maybe it was to see anyone without having to turn around like some cheesey ninja flim that he saw.

Chaos quickly snapped back to the boss and continued. "But when I got back, the Admin had yelled at me since I ran out before being told to go get it."

Sableye took a step back as it was being stared back at by the Persian. Sableye let out a small laugh before stepping foward again, continuing to stare back at the Persian.

[Tara]

(Just letting you know... you've been talking a lot about an Admin telling you to do that, but there was nothing anywhere about Chaos being yelled at by an Admin, or ordered around by an Admin. Again, there's the whole thing about it having to be your own character or not at all. I don't mind it right now, since you're still getting used to the whole style of roleplaying here, but just keep that in mind, alright? Oh, and. Whatever's in the box is up to you, since it's your box. I can't exactly say what's in it until you let me know what it is.)

Tara gave a small nod, taking it all in with her usual thoughtful silence. She cast a glance between the Sableye and her Persian, who was watching the pokemon intently. It seemed to sense its master's gaze, and turned to give a curious look. She gave a slight motion, and Lucius stood up, moving over to sit next to the chair that Tara occupied.

With her Persian next to her, and out of the line of sight for Chaos' Sableye, she felt more at ease. She knew the playful nature of Sableye, and if it taunted Lucius, she'd have to show it why it needed to give more respect to her and her pokemon. She wasn't feeling very up to battling at the moment. By now, she had finally opened the package, something that she was somewhat curious about.

[DarkChaos44]

(Okay, I just wanted to begin on a plot or whatever. I was thinking a device that can create one shadow pokemon, a part to a important machine thats in development in the lab or a shipment of Unova pokemon.)

Chaos saw the Persian move to the chair after the boss motioned it. He looked at Sableye and saw that it must have been playing around again. He looked at the boss and said. "Is my Sableye getting in the way?" He took out Sableye`s pokeball and pointed it at Sableye. "I can always put it back. Sableye knows to act better with me around."

Sableye stared at the pokeball that was being pointed at him. He knew that he was going to be strictly punished later if he was sent back now so Sableye got on its knees and begged not to be sent now.

[Tara]

(xD It's alright, don't worry about it. Next time you plan on incorporating someone else you don't control for plot-based reasons, just send me a PM. I'd be glad to help with that. And I don't mind that kind of device. After all, it would be similar to the device on Pokemon XD: Gale of Darkness. That way we can further the plot a little better.)

Tara glanced up, somewhat surprised at his question. "Hmm? No, no. I was just worried that Lucius might not take well to him. If the Sableye teased him, I'd have to show it why it should never do so to me or any of my pokemon. I don't feel like battling today, so I decided to nip this in the bud, as a bit of a precaution." she told him, before turning her attention back to the package. There seemed to be some kind of device inside of it... but she had no idea what it did. Tapping the metallic object, she asked him, "Do you know what this is?"

[DarkChaos44]

Chaos placed the poke ball back on his waist and said. "I understand. I just don`t like Sableye staying out most of the time since it can get me in trouble after awhile." Chaos thought of one time when Sableye accidentally pushed a boulder heading for him and nearly killed him but he escaped with a few broken bones. Chaos shivered at that horrible memory.

Chaos stared at the device that the boss was holding. Something in his mind was telling him that he seen it before and to stay away from it, but ignoring the warning, Chaos suggested. "Hm... I`ve seen it before but I can`t remember what it does. Should we use my Sableye and see what it does?"

[Tara]

Tara smiled softly; she could understand why his Sableye would get him in trouble. However, she pinned more blame on the Pokemon, and its attitude, than its owner. She didn't continue that line of the conversation, however, moving on to the inspection of the newly uncovered device. She warmed to the idea of using the Sableye to understand what it was, although they could find out what it did in the lab, but only after hours of testing.

"Yes, I believe your Sableye would come in very useful here. Perhaps its Keen Eyes could detect what it does. If not, I could see if one of my pokemon could figure it out."

[DarkChaos44]

Chaos nodded at the statement as he looked to his Sableye, seeing that its Keen Eye could help with figuring out what the device does.

"Sableye, scan that device and somehow tell us what it does!" Chaos commanded. Sableye quickly nodded as it jumped onto the desk to get a better look at it. Sableye walked around the device, looking at every detail while trying to avoid knocking off whatever else was on the desk. After minutes looking at the device, Sableye points out a part of it that had some letters that was faded and very hard to read. Chaos looked at it and said. "Shadow Device... Sadly, its impossible to make out the rest."

Sableye then pokes it three times to see if there was anything else hidden. After the third poke, the device turned on and made a quite loud buzzing noice.

[Tara]

(Again, sorrysorry for not posting any sooner. Like I said, I've been insanely busy, and I'm a few weeks behind on my schoolwork, so... yeah. ._.; Anyhow.)

Tara was intrigued by the aspect of having some sort of Shadow Device. She'd heard of one of them, but couldn't remember any of the details as to what it was, or what it did. Something about stronger pokemon...

The buzzing noise startled her out of her thoughts, glancing at the device before motioning for the Sableye to get off of her desk.
"Good work, but let's not tamper with it any more until I can get it into the lab. I want to see everything that this device can do."

[DarkChaos44]

(Its okay. I maybe the same way in a few weeks.)

Sableye immediately jumped down from the desk and stood beside Chaos in a proud manner, in which, made Chaos a little irritated. "Its not like you solved the worlds hardest question Sableye. And who said you could turn that "Shadow Device" on?" Sableye scratched its head and shugged it shoulders at the statement.

Chaos turned to the boss and said. "I would like to know what it does but we can`t have it getting broken so that question will have to wait. But anyway, may I take off now?" Chaos bowed to the boss and faintly smiled as he thought of the battle that was going to take place in Viridian forest days from now and he need to go to the hidden part of the forest to get everything ready and to go train his pokemon for the upcoming battle.

[Tara]

(...okay, this time I admit I forgot about this entirely. Sorry! Dx)

"Mmm.... oh, what? Yes, you may go. You have my gratitude for finding this device." she said, startled out of her thoughts by his question. She looked back to the device, intrigued by it. Almost as an afterthought, she told him,

"If you would like, I can arrange it so that when we test the device, after the initial run-through, you can be present in the lab. Just.. make sure that your Sableye remains in its poke ball."

[DarkChaos44]

(Don't worry about it. as long as you answered back within in a month then I guess I won't mind.)

Chaos proudly smiled that the Boss gave him her "gratitude" for getting that device. He then rose and slowly walked off with Sableye following him.

But Chaos stopped when he heard the offer the boss had proposed. He turned back to the Boss, amazed that he would be able to see the device in action. He humblely smiled and answered back. "I would be honored to see that device in action. So when its ready to go, if you have my PokeNav number or you can just get Dan to call me. And don't worry, I'll leave my Sableye in my room so he can't do anything. But until then, I'll be taking off now."

Chaos resumed to walk out of the office, taking a final glance of everything before opening the door and walked off.

[Tara]

(Well, I guess this concludes this thread. I'll post where it continues to once I figure out how we're going to work the shadow pokemon and their stats, since they're supposed to be "stronger than a normal pokemon" or something. I'll be doing some research on it.

Yep, figured it out. I'll post that in the guides section, later. Also, this thread continues here.)
