a stroll through the [ P A R K ] ll OPEN

[charles lockett ♣]

The sweet smell of the aromatic flowers; the peaceful sound of chirping pokemon; the relaxation from the absence of trainers; and the lack of leadership over the entire radius- what a perfect place to announce the reinstating of the monarchy that would soon reign over all of Kanto. Instructed solemnly to choose a place and relay a message, it had become a mission of his to find the best area to make a stand and yet make it all known to the Kanto region who was back in business. To him, choosing the perfect place meant the world, it had to be big and not a city; he hated cities. A flawless reason as to why he wasn't in Goldenrod stirring up even more trouble then what was already on the agenda. This place was so peaceful, yet horrible in the sense that it allowed ruthless trainers to come in and try to capture pokemon. This was where he would allow his team to lead their argument, and ultimately destroy this wretched place along with all the little buildings that just happened to get in the way. It was so much fun being the Prince. "Pidge-" Standing high upon one of the cliff edges that overlooked the ever-popular Safari Zone; Charles was glad to see the familiar face that called in the distance, the aviator goggles peeping out through a sea of clouds. "Ace, I missed you so dearly,"

[/b] the Prince cooed, the bird coming to perch upon his shoulder and instantly a hand gave a pet of praise. "Now then, what says Apollo?" Obediently turning around and un-clipping the latch of his bag with his peck, Ace's head disappeared into the little sack and returned with a piece or parchment. Charles retrieved it, opening it immediately.

Dear Charles;

The attack upon Goldenrod will be promptly held around mid-day. By the time you receive this letter, you will be advised to continue the spreading of our global message by simultaneously attacking from your own designated spot. Mind you, that I suggest that you refrain from "overdoing" from what was originally intended. After you have deemed that you have properly relayed the message; report back to me with further information on the assault. I will give you an assignment afterwards. The future of Team Rocket will be known around the regions, and we will take no mercy on those that wish to stop our plans.

- Apollo

He rolled the letter back up, a mischievous smirk crossing his lips. "Don't overdo it huh? That is just like Apollo, asking me to follow his limitations. Psh, I am The Prince, and I set my own limits. Isn't that right my darling,"[/b] Charles asked, stroking the head feathers of the Pidgeotto. Cooing blatantly in response, Ace ruffled his wings slightly, adjusting his position into a more comfortable one. "Now, it is time for my message and time to put some monarchy into this horrible society." Retrieving three pokeballs from within his bag, he held out the first one, looking to Ace with a smile."You have flown with valiant speed to Johto. Allow this to be your time to rest before returning to Apollo."[/b] A beam of red appeared as the ball opened, a veil forming around the pokemon before all of it completely disappearing into the small holding device. Placing that ball back to where he kept the rest of his pokemon, he retrieved a third pokemon to replace the Pidgeotto, releasing all three out behind where he stood upon the cliff. Side by side, two large pokemon stood by each other, both looking stunning despite the side they played for. They were known as the King and Queen, the ones that lead armies and instructed pokemon- whether wild or tame. Then there was the one that did the snooping; the pretty pink stuck up pokemon; why else would Charles call her the princess? "Henry, Elizabeth, Diana. I have a job for you."[/b]


A roar echoed out over the Safari zone, a lone eye scanning over the vass amounts of pokemon. The tauros stopped in their stampeding; the nidoran gazed in awe at their older evolutions; the bug pokemon halted in their movements; almost all had stopped motionless under the sight of the large Nidoking, who had stepped forward in front of Charles. "Citizens of the Safari Zone, I come to you; the leader of a revolution. For many years have you not notice your manipulation; your reason for living? You are but a game to those that put you here, that enclosed you to these living quarters. The humans of the town do not see you as meaningful; they throw rocks at you, torment you, tempt you with falsified pieces of food, and most crucially, pay others off to hunt you and capture you. Do you feel safe living under such condition?"[/b] Henry roared, looking throughout the crowd for signs of acceptance, most stared awestruck. "We must rise up against those that suppressed you, destroy the buildings that house those that hurt you, and crumble the environment that they built to contain you."[/b] A small red flash lit up behind Henry and Elizabeth, as they stood before the pokemon; no one seeming to notice the quick lithe purple form disappearing into rock. At the same time that the red beam flashed, fingers that moved in synchronization had stopped, a strong psychic beam catching a Kangaskaun off guard at the base of the cliff; quickly the Clefable disappearing back into the brush. As soon as the Kangaskaun went into an uproar, all was downhill from that. The prime herd leader that headed the Tauros bucked wildly into the air, charging into the crowds with no regard; the whole lot following close behind. Like a domino effect the forests stirred with a new found chaos; the bug pokemon swarmed together in preparation to invade the city; the Tauros charged through brush like nothing; the Kangaskaun had been thrown into an outrage, knocking over trees as they looked to find the source of the original attack; and the Nidorans looked up to Henry and Elizabeth, looking for them to lead in their own payback to the trainers and humans. The Nidoking and Nidoqueen smiled towards each other, moving down the cliff to lead the front of the pack as a large group of pokemon headed for Fuchsia City.


"Spectacular work Diana, if I do say so myself. You really riled up those Kangaskaun," a small cynical laugh cackled from his vocals, the Clefable beside him sharing the same sort of amusement. The plot to destroy the Safari Zone had gone all according to plan. Moved by what Henry had said, the pokemon had not noticed the movement of Diana when she positioned herself for an attack; nor had they noticed Komori, who had easily taken possession of the tauros herd leader. It was all spectacular how his pokemon could operate so smoothly. And now, as most of them moved in the direction of Fuchsia City, Charles was able to implicate the last part of his plan, which had involved the undercover work of his Scizor. Speak of the pokemon. "Ah, Sir Carlisle, you have been successful yes?" The bug pokemon didn't even get the chance to nod, Diana had already started to run after him. Before she could, Carlisle was gone, a disappointed glance turning into a angered one as Charles tucked away Carlisle's pokeball. "Clefable!" Diana was clearly discontent with his decision to draw back the scizor. As for right now, though he didn't care. "Diana you must wait for leisure time, this is an important mission yes. Now please go join Henry and Elizabeth at the front of the pokemon herd, we want to make sure that the second half goes as smoothly as the first. Please my dear."[/b] The Clefable disobeyed, turning away from him with her arms folded. "Please my dear princess Diana," the tone was much softer, more exquisite. The Clefable couldn't stay mad. Nodding in a sort of annoyed yet loving manner, the pink moon pokemon bounded off towards the group, leaving Charles to his lonesome. But he wouldn't be alone for long. Within his hands gripped his last Pokeball, the lone member that had not been included in the fun as of yet; but that was about to change. He tossed the Pokeball up, and from there it released him.


Standing elegantly before his master; its body a pristine pearl; its main a beautiful dancing fire, Artemis looked to Charles before gazing out into the half destroyed Safari Zone. "My dear, you have the most important job of all. I mean, you can't relay a message if you have no message. Now you see those trees over there?"[/b] the male pointed to the sliced trees of Scizor, and the Rapidash nodded. "Burn them. Burn them and the whole forest will come with it! Fire Blast!"[/b] With no hesitation between master and pokemon, Artemis reared back before releasing a stream of flames towards the logs, an immediate flare catching on the wood. The fire spread quickly from log to log, each one more important then the last. Branching out into different parts, when finally the logs had been lit into a giant fiery blaze, they spelled out something. It was a giant R. "Overdoing. Ha, why would Apollo ever think that?"

[♥ LEAF ♥]

Leaf wasn't sure herself who she had chosen to go Fuchsia of all places, probably just to go somewhere. A lot of the trainers she knew from her journey had ventured to Johto, or... Like Green and Red where somewhere else. Green taking care of his Gym probably, and Red... Who knew. Those two was never really informing, at all. When they did something, they usually did it and then told someone. Not that it worried her or annoyed her, it always included some sort of fighting and that wasn't her cup of tea. Then she'd rather know about it later if that was the way they wanted. Sometimes she wondered if they even saw her as a friend, or just a person they talked a bit more with than the usually.

Now Leaf was more or less just wandering around in Fuchsia, not really knowing what to do. A big light brown Pokemon was following her around, as the only one. It was a Kangaskhan, or Rua as Leaf had named her. The most unusually thing about the Pokemon was probably that it's pouch was lacking a younger Kangaskhan. Instead, and probably more weirdly was a small Vulpix. It sometimes popped its little head up to look around, and then dived down in the warm 'pocket' once more. The little orange fox seemed to be trusting the bigger Pokemon fully, and she rolled herself to a little ball and started to sleep. Like she had done so many times before. Rua walked softly as only a Kangaskhan with a young in the pouch could do. But Flare and Rua was surely a weird pair.

Suddenly Rua stopped dead in her track, and straightened to listen. Her body tensed a moment, and Flare gave a little annoyed sound when her sleep was disturbed like this, so suddenly. Rua just stood there listening. Leaf turned and gave her a wondering look. ,,Rua? Anything wrong?'' Had Rua seen anything? Leaf tried to look in the direction Ruas head was turned, but she could see nothing. Maybe she could hear something? In that chase Leaf wouldn't have a chance to hear it. Leaf placed herself next to the big Pokemon, and tried to point her ears and attention towards whatever Rua could hear or see. She thought she could hear something, but she wasn't sure if it was her imagination or if there really was something out there. She couldn't even put a finger on what it could be.

Flare popped her head up one more time, and looked up at Rua. ,,Vuuu? Rua? You stopped...'' the little Pokemon complained, but Rua didn't seem to take much notice of her right now. The Vulpix stared at her a little longer, before diving back into the pouch and the sleep. Leaf suddenly saw what Rua had her attention on. Was that ... smoke?! It came from the Safari Zone it seemed. ,,My, what could that be?! Let's go see! C'om!'' She started to run, and her Pokemon just had to follow as quickly as she could. Flares head popped up once again, looking more annoyed this time. Why were they running all of sudden? She looked at the sky, where a thin smoke had began to spread, getting thicker.

[charles lockett ♣]

It was beautiful, was it not? The trees and flowers becoming nothing but ash; the sky swirling with a ghastly gray smoke; the pokemon being led to destroy by yours truly. It was all in a days work for the classy team rocket member. Within no time at all Fuchsia City would be sacrificed in order to spread their global message. It wasn't like this place was even that important. Perhaps it would be wise to even capture the rampaging pokemon, there was a bit of new technology Charles had stowed away in order for a situation like this. But even so, he felt it was unnecessary. His pokemon would make sure that the plan would go better then as planned, while in the mean time, he could enjoy a snack or two. Destroying mass areas did take a lot out of a person, and besides, he needed to write that message to Apollo anyway. "Absolutely wonderful job if I do say so myself, Artemis you never disappoint." Walking elegantly over to the horse pokemon, Charles bestowed his affection onto the beautiful Rapidash, stroking her mane with the utmost of care and gratitude. In response the pokemon nuzzled into his hand and accepted his affection, her flames purposely unfit to burn the hand of her caregiver. "Well, shall we have a bit of food? Perhaps a crumpet and some tea. I would like to see whether or not someone answers the call of Team Rocket." While the forest continued to burn and the smoke continued to accumulate, there was Charles, perched up high on his cliff edge preparing to enjoy a bit of an afternoon snack. He was curious to know how things were going on the ground, whether or not Henry and Elizabeth had reached the start of the park yet, but still he was more into starting that message to Apollo and partaking in a nutritional meal. Carefully setting out a small checkered cloth while Artemis took up a laying position behind him, he could hear the crackle of the falling timber while he prepared his picnic. Pulling out a couple choice food items and some type of drink; Charles gave a last minute decision to release Ace, the beautiful bird pokemon rousing to roost near Artemis. Silently but peacefully, the three began to enjoy their picnic.


"Dear Apollo. It was funny that you should mention overdoing things, cause dear boy I near destroyed the whole safari zone... No, no, that sounds horrid,"

[/b] he paused, whimsically gazing off into space while the quill in his hand twirled subconsciously. Laying his back upon the sleeping Artemis with a piece of parchment gripped tight in his fingertips, the date and Dear Apollo were the only things scribed onto its fabrics. Giving a heavy-hearted sigh while stroking the feathers of his beloved Ace, he pondered how his king and queen were doing. They had in fact missed a short lunch and still had not given notice of their return. He suspected they were quite busy but still, things had become a bit too quiet around the safari zone. Perhaps it was time to catch up with his other pokemon. "I can't do this right now, the inspiration is just not coming to me. Every letter must contain the essence of the Prince and this is just not cutting it. Oh well, I guess it will have to wait." Gingerly and carefully folding up the paper and tucking it into a small bag, mentally Charles made a note to take care of that later. "Come along Ace; Artemis." Under the command of his master - as if Artemis had been awake the whole time- the Rapidash shot up into a full upright position, her flames flaring heatedly along her mane. Following in suit, Ace perched himself onto the Prince's shoulder, finding this to be one of his favorite spots. When Charles had noted that both were prepared to leave, he peered one last time into the blackened abyss that had once been the safari zone. With first glances he had deemed it empty with still sections of the forest being burned, but no one there to stop them. But out of paranoia he looked one more time, and it was a good thing he did. "Well, well... it looks we will get to have a little fun," a psychotic grin crossed his face, Charles turning around to leap on Artemis and gallop off towards the disturbance.


Trotting through the ashes of where the beginning of the fire had already fully burned through the area, his gaze lay fixated on a further point, a small amused smile still perched on his lips. Common sense had told him to stay away, but Charles could not resist the need to get rid of those who intended to stop his destruction. It was a pet peeve of his. As Artemis approached closer and closer to where the flames had begun to be extinguished, Charles slid off of the Rapidash, a flash of red engulfing her into her pokeball. Allowing Ace to stay upon his shoulder, Charles moved through the ashes towards the streams of projectile water, noting the still large amount of smoke encircling the atmosphere. Upon entering the enemies line of vision, the cruel sadistic smirk died away instantaneously, his nature becoming an ill-sweetened charming manner. "Oh my my my, what a fine young lady," Charles chimed in, revealing himself with a dastardly alluring gaze. "Is there anything that I may do for such a damsel in distress?"

[atrb=border,0,true][atrb=cellSpacing,10,true][atrb=width,100px] 695

[atrb=width,300px]Wow. The Safari Zone really had been set on fire. Leaf didn't believe her eyes, didn't want to believe her eyes. Who would do that? No. No one would, it was just a accident. A bad one. Leaf stopped, just to make sure Rua was still with her. The Kangaskhan stopped right behind her, with a rather worried expression on her face. This was her old home after all, Leaf guessed, but she didn't say anything aloud. Flare was looking at the fire with a bit of amazement. Not surprisingly, she was a fire Pokemon after all wasn't she. Leaf considered a moment to call them both back, but quickly dropped the thought. Rua would want to help, and Flare ... would probably just want to see what happened. No need to worry for them, Leaf thought. Rua was one of her stronger Pokemons after all, and she could easily protect Flare if she had to.

[cs=2] Leaf nodded to them, showing she just wanted to check they still was with her. Rua nodded back, and Flare just stared at the fire. She was a bit surprised that a Kangaskhan could keep her speed. Not that she was the fastest runner on earth, but still. God, how could she even think about that while the Safari Zone - and soon Fuchsia City - was on fire?! She kept running, trying to clear her head and to focus on the fire only. It wasn't going too well, since her thought kept drifting off to something else. Stuff she meant would be more effective if she thought about later. She entered a area where the grass had been turned to ash by the fire, she slowed down looking around. Rua who was still right behind her, slowed a bit down too. ,,Kaaaaaa?! {Hello?! Anyone?!}'' the big Pokemon called out, Leaf guessed she was trying to get attention from other Kangaskhan, but there was no one around them right now. Leaf partly ignored her, or there wasn't anything she could do anyway. She couldn't call any higher than Rua, and she didn't want to try. Instead she stopped in a good distance of the fire. Nervous. She had dealt with many things, but never fire. It wouldn't be bad to have Mex right now, she'd had killed the fire with her big water cannons like it was nothing. That would had been a help, specially because the fire wasn't only here. It looked like it had spread in many directions. ,,Siren!'' Leaf called, and threw a Pokeball into the air. Out of the red beam came a Lapras. The Pokemon slowly unfolded itself, as it came out of the red light - looking calmly around. She seemed a bit surprised by seeing all the fire around her, but not heavily affected by it. ,,A wild guess Siren? I'd like you to help with the fire.'' Leaf said, Lapras just looked at her. Not nodding or anything, like waiting patiently. ,,Okay then! Water Gun!'' It wasn't the strongest of all the few water attack Siren knew, but it was the best for this purpose. She opened here mouth, and spouted water at the fire. The flames hissed angrily back, and damp began to rise. Leaf turned by automatic when someone talked to her, or she guessed it was her since she was the only person around. A rather 'weird' looking person met her eyes, well she had seen more weird people through her journeys but eh.. was that a crown? And why was he just standing there, shouldn't he help? Leaf shot a quick glance to Siren, simply to tell her just to continue the Water Gun. Then she turned to the person again. ,,Hi there?'' She said, placing her hands on her hips now eyeing the stranger bit more careful. ,,Well you should help put out the fire.'' waving a hand towards the flames behind her, that Siren was trying to get control of. Was he one of those hero type persons that really had to fire off tons of lines, and ask for permission to help before doing anything?! She gave him a rather special stare that almost asked that.

[charles lockett ♣]

Deep empty blue eyes came to level with Leaf's, an unseen amusement beginning to course through his veins. The way that she looked at him; the way that she questioned him; the way that her body motioned her overall feelings, it made Charles more and more intrigued about the conversation that they would further based on something he had started. At the same time, there was something about her that had sparked a subliminal idea in the back of his mind. Perhaps it was a memory, a picture, a message; he wasn't exactly sure, but there had to be a reason behind the sudden deja vu. Tilting his head in a peculiar fashion, while she questioned his motions, Charles silently surveyed over the girl once more in an attempt to draw forward more data. It took a couple moments for him to think about it and consider the open-ended ideas that popped into his head one after the other, but after some recollection a firm image was placed in his mind. There had once been a lecture in rocket headquarters concerning a group of trainers that had been more then troublesome to their operations. It was more focused on showing the new recruits who to watch out for, or if they were risk takers, who to go after. At the time, Charles just happened to be in the vicinity and decided to eavesdrop on the lecture. For the majority of the slide show he found himself dazzed, bored really; he had already been through orientation. Then they showed pictures of the group; they all looked like little kids. Red, Blue, Green, Gold, and Crystal, that's who they said they were. There was one more that they hadn't mentioned, one that he was already well informed of. Silver, that bastard. Charles would never forget who he was. Drawing back to the present time, Charles figured that this was the Blue character that they had been talking about, but she looked a bit different from back then. No matter, this was still a prime opportunity to do a bit of ground control.

"Well you should help put out the fire.''

Her words had almost whisked past his ear; he was glad they hadn't. It was quite bland what she said, almost a mocking way to his earlier rhetorical question. Despite this, he found that his amusement rose enough to cause a small smile start to form on his face and his head to tilt slightly. He could see it in her eyes her false assumption of him, the thought that he was actually some type of idiotic hero character; Charles couldn't help but feel prideful. He was a prince indeed, but not the one that she would expect. "I would if I could darling, but I haven't a water pokemon to my name," he lifted his shoulders in a shrug, a cold expression covering his face. Placing his hand upon his head in a thinking way, he attempted to move the bangs out of his eyes. It failed miserably, but it was probably better that way. "Besides, we must be at a misunderstanding here," his hand took hold of a pokeball, a flash of red revealing the one that had been the start of the fire. Immediately Charles strolled over to her, stroking the firery mane with much love and compassion. "Who do you think started the fire? Surely you wouldn't think that some idiot just happened to throw a match into the forest? No, it was a message fit for a king, my king." Charles couldn't help but kind of go off in his own mindset momentarily while petting his dear Artemis. Before he could get too off topic though, his gaze turned back into Leaf's direction, his hands on another pokeball. With another flash of red and a dangerously evil grin across his face, an armored Scizor appeared in front of Charles, his eyes set to kill. "Now dear dear Blue, don't take it personally that you need to be executed. Its for the good of the people, eventually," drawing back his Pidgeotto and Rapidash, Charles turned to face Blue directly, only Sir Carlisle left. "Now, I will allow for some last words, perhaps a final attack or something. Just hurry up, I don't have all day, I am a busy Prince you know." Carlisle didn't budge or move, he stood his ground with a heartless glare in his eyes.

[atrb=border,0,true][atrb=cellSpacing,10,true][atrb=width,100px] 617

[atrb=width,300px]Leaf began to feel a bit uncomfortable as he didn't react the way she expected. Just standing there, as if he didn't notice her only to suddenly make a somewhat smile. It freaked her a bit for some strange reason. It didn't help when he started to talk. It was almost as he was royal or something. And a misunderstanding? How's that. Leafs expression has now taken form of a slight confusion. Or maybe a want to figure out what the hell he meant. His king? Now he just sounded even more royal - and weird.

[cs=2] She didn't move when he called out a new Pokemon, unsure what to think. Would he try to help with the fire with a Scizor? Though something in her back head told her that wasn't the case. Did he just call her Blue...? She blinked in surprise and a somewhat shock. Blue was a nickname she got because of Red and Green, it was mostly used by Team Rocket. Why she didn't know, probably because they tried to annoy her with it. She preferred to keep her real name after all. Executed?! Who the hell was he? Her head kept refusing the thought of Team Rocket. They were gone, they haven't had a sign of them in ages. Why would they be back all of sudden?! Leaf tried to meet the Scizors look without fear, though it was hard. She knew she was weak, and she knew how strong a Pokemon was when she saw it. She had seen all kind of strong and weak Pokemons, and she knew the difference. She was one of the weaks herself, the only Pokemon she had that was capable of making a somewhat battle was Rua. But she hated to battle, and only did it when necessary, and she was no wonder after all. Not much stronger than the wild Kangaskhans in the Safari Zone. ,,What the heck is it with you...'' It wasn't a question, and if it was it was more meant to herself, and yet she said it out loud. She didn't care if he heard it, he probably wouldn't give her a useful reply anyway. Siren behind her had stopped her Water Gun, and turned to see what was going on. Of course she'd notice when her trainer was threatened like that. Rua kept close too, a bit uneasy, but ready to try defend if possible. Flare was hiding in her pouch, trying to get so little attention as possible. Leaf eyes flacked away from Scizors, happy to be out of its eyes. She gazed back on the person, wanting to meet his eyes but finding the impossible as it was hidden under his hair. Normally she'd be curious about a person like that, but right now she just wanted to be everywhere else but here. Away from the fire and someone who was threatening her. ,,What ... what would you gain from 'execute' me?...'' Leaf asked, hoping that she could talk herself out of this - though she knew that wasn't an option. As he stood there with his Pokemon out - armed to the bones - he didn't exactly look like one to stop an attack just because of talk. She was getting a bit desperate from confused, but managed to stay calm. How was she a threat to anyone? She had once 'helped' getting rid of Team Rocket for some time. But, back then Red and Green had done most of the work, and the few times she had helped had she used Mex. Now she didn't have the Blastoise anymore, traded for Siren. She was glad to have the Lapras on her team, but right now she'd rather have Mex.

[charles lockett ♣]

He let out a laugh- not any haha sort of jester; no, it was a cynical deepening cackle that had taken time to accumulate in his throat. The prince had found amusement in her confusion and an alluring quality in her fear. The look of her eyes, the scent of her body, the uncertainty of her voice; it was like heroine to an addict. Despite having not expected his luck of today, Charles had begun to feel the venomous idea of murder spread through his neural pathways, the stimulant fueling his ever-growing excitement. There was a clear cut reason that he was so high in the ranks of the Rocket staff, and so unrestricted when it came to missions such as these. Apollo may be considered a very very close acquaintance to the Prince, but even he wouldn't allow an average joe friend join in the high ranks without proving themselves. Charles had; and there had been a price to pay for him earning that position. Lets just say it wasn't associated with picking flowers and daisies for poor sickly children. As Carlisle stood frigidly still in await for the flick of the wrist or a snap of the fingers, the words that Blue spoke had begun to sink into his mind and spin around in a whirl of moral damnation. Funny enough for him, it was a wasted attempt at retrieving any sort of human mortality he had buried within the back of his deluded mind. Time and experience had caused a disintegration process to take apart piece by piece the threads of his mind; leaving him day after day with a little less shred of care for any value of human nature what so ever. A hollow bloodthirsty creature had birthed forth from the ashes of what had been a rotting boy, but in the sick fantasy that he had created, such a thing was known as a Prince. As he shared no eye contact with the female that stood before him, the Prince gave a slight shrug of the shoulders and calmed his manner. The flames barely remained visible within a good surrounding radius, but a hidden fire still burned deep between the two.

"What ... what would you gain from 'execute' me?...''

Charles pondered for a legit reason to properly answer that question. His mind was already set on the idea of doing the action that he didn't stop to think of a clear set in stone reason as to why he was doing it, and then he remembered again. Though he had to say, that the real reason and the standard reason were two very separate mindsets. "Bait my dear," the words hissed out of his mouth, slipping off the tongue with a touch of seductive venom. "You see, your existence causes problems for my kingdom; and while it may seem cruel and unusual to simply eliminate a differing opinion, it is better for the region as a whole. Besides, there are others of your kind that lay waiting in the shadows in order to seize an opportunity to revolt against the king. What better way to draw those people out then with the death of someone they care about,"

[/b] he shrugged his shoulders once again, fingertips running through his hair just inches from his small crown. Lingering upon his lips was the beginning of a malicious smile, a cold- hearted cynical smile that gave no effort in hiding his bloodthirsty intent. Even as the pokemon began to notice the change in atmosphere and his ill-natured intentions, there was nothing that they could do to stop him. The fate of Blue had been sealed the moment she had strolled into the safari zone and decided to provide her assistance to the already deserted pokemon. "You will be the starting point of a secret elimination of those that stand in our way. We know your friends, we know your accomplices, we know everything. There will be no mercy given to those that choose to disobey Team Rocket; a new order shall be established." A cackle reigned from the depths of his mouth and with a singly snap of the fingers, a wisp of air encircled the two humans, Carlisle vanishing almost as if he evaporated into thin air.


The full objective of Charles's extended mission was to execute Blue and take hostage of all her pokemon. Leaving the pokemon with her corpse just seemed a bit too lenient. They would serve much better use under the care of the Rocket experimentation program. Any pokemon could prove useful to that cause. Seconds later after Charles had signaled for Carlisle to begin his onslaught, the glowing red eyes glared through the mask of steel that embodied the Scizor's face while he appeared before Siren. Lapras were known as slow and sluggish, and while Charles didn't have much time to kill Blue before the real authorities would charge to the area, playing games with her pokemon seemed entertaining enough. "Fury Cutter," smooth as silk with arrogance attached, Sir Carlisle's eyes glinted with a new even colder ferocity as suddenly he went into a mad rage of amazingly fast cutting attacks, slicing into the Lapras without much trouble at all. The attack wasn't meant to kill, wasn't meant to do paralyzing damage; it was more of a playful kick to the start of a battle. "Show me what made you known to be one of the few highly ranked trainers. Fight for your life like the measly peasant you are." Blood had begun to splatter as Carlisle made more and more lacerations into the long neck of the sea pokemon. A thrilling aurora started to radiate from the bug pokemon, and all though he seemed more serious then anything, there was a secret maliciousness to him that even Charles could not understand. Still, finishing the attack with the ground beginning to be painted a new color, Sir Carlisle retreated back to Charles's front. It was Blue's turn to give an attack, and the Scizor respected such. Though it didn't matter what the girl would throw at him, Charles and Carlisle were one in the same about keeping their word; the forest began with a flare of red, and would end the same way.
