THAT RED AND BLACK UNIFORM {silver}

[Soul •]

Soul gazed rather uneasily at the bundle of black material in her arms, never had she ever thoughts about wearing this uniform, never. Here she was though, with the Team Rocket uniform in her arms, given to her by a grunt who seemed way too eager to give it to her, now she just needed somewhere to change. She had to keep reminding herself over and over about why she was doing this, so she didn’t just throw the uniform in the trash and be done with it. Team Rocket had taken over the Radio Tower by force and she had heard some rather disturbing rumours about why they had done it, therefore, Soul knew they needed to be kicked out of there as soon as possible, before they could do anymore damage. She let out a sigh, feeling quite nervous about how this whole plan would go, of course, she tried to stay positive about the whole situation.

It didn’t take long for her to find somewhere to change, the grunt who had given her the outfit offered to give her a place to get dressed but she politely refused the offer, she didn’t trust the man after all, who knows what he could have done! So, she had dashed off to the large department store in Goldenrod and dashed off into the toilets to change. Shifting off her normal attire, Soul stuffed it into her yellow bag before slipping on the uniform she had been given. Of course, she was used to wearing shorts but this wasn’t like her normal dungarees, considering the uniform was pretty tight, clinging to her skin and showing off the curves she had. Stumbling around in the small cubicle, Soul pulled on the thigh length grey boots and the long gloves before clipping the belt around her waist. Soul looked down at herself and cringed just a little upon seeing the large crimson ‘R’ across her chest, she hated it but she told herself she wouldn’t be wearing it from now on, only for today. Soul hoped today was over quickly. Unlocking the cubicle door, she secured the ebony hat on top of her head before walking out of the toilet, her caramel gaze not daring to look at anyone as she exited the department store.

Alright, here it was, the Radio Tower. Soul took in a deep breath, her heart was thumping nervously in her chest as she eyed up the large building as well as the Grunts wondering around outside. She reminded herself not to glare at them as they nodded politely at her, which she copied before swiftly shuffling inside. The Radio Tower was pretty big, the floor covered in tiles and pictures hanging on the walls, as well as a couple of plants in pots by the reception and down the hall. Okay, she needed Team Rocket to believe she actually was a grunt and not some imposter, Soul breathed in and out and summoned her confidence before striding around the corner, noticing a grunt at the end of the hall in front of the stairs. Soul felt her fingers twitched towards her Pokéballs attached to the belt as she walked up towards him, as if she was expecting a battle which would have normally happened if she wasn’t wearing this stupid outfit. “I haven’t seen you around here before.. I’m guessing you’re a new member then?” Soul stopped before the Rocket member as he spoke to her, nodding at his words. “Yes, I’m.. Lyra, just been enrolled as a Grunt.” She responded, forcing her fear down and staring up at the man calmly. Though she may have seemed collected and calm on the outside, on the inside, she was nervous and a little worried about something going wrong. Thankfully though, the Rocket Member seemed convinced, nodding at her and stepping out of her way, giving her access to the stairs. “Welcome to Team Rocket Lyra, you’re free to go upstairs.” Soul almost didn’t respond to him, not clicking in straight away that he was talking to her considering he called her Lyra and all. “Thanks.” She quickly piped in, remembering that she had given him a fake name as she went over to the bottom of the stairs, well.. That went better than expected.

[atrb=width,300px]The city was floating with Rocket grunts, and they didn't exactly make it easy for Silver - he admitted that. So far he had been able to get here without much trouble, only a few grunts recognizing him - but luckily none of importance and those was quickly beaten. He wouldn't care if they told anyone he was here, they wouldn't know where he moved next anyway, as he pretty much just slipped from shadow to shadow. Only moving when they looked away, or was too busy to notice him. They were so dumb, lacking completely of any reflexes. Well, they were good for simple things as keeping away dumb people from their plans, no wonder most grunts were dubbed dogsbody. It actually surprised him that two had been able to recognize him, since the dogsbody type of Team Rocket was changed pretty often. They was usually the first people to get caught.

[cs=2] Silver quickly and swiftly avoided the gaze from two grunts, two that was keeping the watch fight outside of the Radio Tower. Supposed to keep away every not-Team Rocket persons, but not doing it very good was they... Another grunt approached a bit ... weird. The others greeted her and she quickly greeted them back. Very weird indeed. The person didn't seem to like the situation and hurried inside. The grunts didn't notice anything it seemed, well Silver wasn't surprised; they probably wouldn't recognize an enemy unless they walked directly into them. Silver sneaked closer, he would like to keep an eye on that Rocket girl. She even seemed somewhat familar to him. As if he had met her before, and her whole way of just hurrying inside. She had brown hair from what he had been able to see, tied in two pigtails. A thought hit him, and he narrowed his eyes. If it was her, what the hell did she think she was doing then?! The two grunts looked away, and he didn't waste a second before he was inside the tower. He had been there before. Checking out the Radio Tower as he knew Team Rocket would have it as a target at some point; not only the official part of it that the tourists only got to see but also some of the more boring and limited for the public. Rooms he had sneaked into without anyone noticing, giving it a quick scan and then moved on. It was far from the whole tower he knew, but at least he had been taking a close enough look to know where to go if he had to get out quickly or something similar. There was no one around, or well, he couldn't see the whole room from where he was right now. He quickly moved away from the door, it was transparent after all and he liked to have his back covered. He heard a bit of talking, though it was a bit away from him he still picked up a few of the words. The girls voice seemed to hesitate a bit, and Silver easily recognized it. There was no mistaking it, that grunt girl he had seen before it could only be Soul. He sighed soundlessly and turned around the corner. Knowing the Team Rocket grunt would see him by now, but he didn't care much. He had to be sure it was her, and if it wasn't well then too bad. Though he quickly confirmed to himself that it was, even if they was in the other end of the room. ,,What the hell do you think you are doing, Soul?'' He asked a bit loud, wanting to be sure she heard him and just not got the chance to run away. Staring at Soul, he started to walk down the hall so she didn't have to shout the reply. He completely ignored the Team Rocket Grunt.

[Soul •]

Soul almost let out a sigh of relief as she put her foot onto the first step, she had really done it! She had snuck into a place crawling with Team Rocket, now all she had to do was battle her way to the top and get them to get the hell out of Goldenrod. Sounded pretty straight forward, right? Second step, third step.. She never made it to the forth, finding her body was frozen in shock and horror by the sound of someone calling her real name, she should have just kept going and pretended she didn’t know who this ‘Soul’ was but now that she had stopped in her place on the third step, it would look rather suspicious if she ran up the stairs now. She had recognised the voice that had shouted to her but secretly, she wished it wasn’t him, knowing that if it was the plan would be all be for nothing if he did anything else. Upon turning to face the person who had shouted to her, demanding an answer for her actions, she was stabbed with shock that it was indeed the redhead. Clearly luck wasn’t shining down on her now.

Her caramel gaze flashed over to the grunt, who had a confused look upon his features, clearly because of the sudden name switch. Great, she told him a fake name and now, Silver had to show up and ruin everything. She couldn’t help but frown at him, her heart thudding in her chest as she prayed things would be fine and that he would just leave. “What does it look like?” She told him bluntly, her gaze held firmly on him as she walked down a few steps, until she was standing on the first one. “I’ve joined Team Rocket.” If luck shined on her at all, then hopefully, that would be that and she would be free to go upstairs and kick some Team Rocket ass. Unfortunately, a small voice in the back of her head told her it wasn’t going to be that easy anymore. She gave a fake smile to the grunt, which appeared real on the outside thankfully; her fingers twirled her brunette hair for a moment. “Soul’s just a nickname~” She said confidently, a small charming smile still on her features as she held his gaze before turning back to Silver.

“What are you doing here.. How did you even get in?” Soul questioned Silver now, still frowning slightly and her voice not holding the friendly tone she usually tried to have around him when they bumped into each other. Though usually that friendly atmosphere around Silver tended to vanish in a matter of seconds whenever they bumped into each other, most of the time anyway. Personally, she was a little curious about how he got in, wasn’t there Rocket Grunts guarding the entrance? Yes there was because they wouldn’t let her in when she was in her normal clothes, so how the hell did Silver manage to either get their approval to go past, or slip in unnoticed?

[atrb=width,300px]She hestiated on the stairs. Yep, it was her. Just from her stopping, he could tell. She wouldn't be like this if it had been another random grunt. He was kind of relieved that he didn't have to explain things if it hadn't been her. Then again, he probably had to fight her too. But really; she didn't exactly scare him. Soul seemed to decide to stay and take up the fight instead of running away. Silver stopped a few meters away from them, or so. Eyeing Soul with patient stare, though a bit demanding; wanting to have an explanation, and a good one.

[cs=2] She held his gaze. This wasn't going to be fixed out easily he guessed. She was frowning at him, but it didn't affect him at all. He just stared his usually cold stare, yet this time he seemed somewhat more angry. Silver didn't care whatever she did, but when it had something to do with Team Rocket and Soul suddenly was dressed like that then yes! Then he wanted to know what was going on. She simply replied him, asking him back what it did look like. He didn't even reply the question inside his own head, before she answered it herself. Joining Team Rocket!? What the fu- He was just about to give her some kind of rant, when she continued herself. He just waited, as long she stayed here he had all the time in the world. Or right now he did. He let out a sound of sarcasm, and barely rolled a bit with the eyes. More of annoyance, well if she really did insist on being difficult. Annoyed with the charming tone she suddenly held towards to Rocket. Mainly annoyed by having a whole city filled with Team Rocket like this in general. How he got in here? He turned to the Team Rocket grunt who was still standing there. Somewhat same questing look on his face as Soul, even if he didn't know what was going on. Good thing for Silver was that he didn't seem to recognize Silver. Luckily, as it'd only make things worse, if he did. ,,You guys wouldn't even notice if a Steelix tried to get inside'' he grinned at the grunt. Clearly trying to piss him off, and clearly telling that he had sneaked himself inside without any problem - well maybe with a bit of exaggeration, but it hadn't really been a diffucult for him. He did something like this almost every day anyway. He turned to Soul once again, and ignored the Rocket. Even the reaction, as long Silver wasn't attacked. ,,Joined Team Rocket you say?'' He eyed her again, almost making the elevator look. Yeah, she really was wearing the Rocket uniform. No, it wasn't a uniform. It was... he had no word for it. He caught her eyes and gave them a long cold and dark stare, as if they was telling her that was a very bad move to do. He wasn't really sure what to do now, a big part of him kind of knew she was lying. Another even bigger part of him wanted to kill her for wearing the big red R. A red R he knew and hated in almost every possible way. He suddenly moved, and in an eye blink - or maybe even faster - was he standing right before Soul. Staring the little way that was down at her. He simply took off her puffy Team Rocket hat, and looked at it as if it was a filthy Rattata that had to die for gods sake. He ended up throwing it in some random direction, not really caring where it landed. ,,I'd be really careful with what I do and what I say now, if I was you.'' he said coldly. Now looking down at her again, his silver eyes filled with warning.

[Soul •]

She couldn’t help but want to smirk at Silver’s words when he criticised the Rocket grunt, about the whole not noticing a Steelix breaking in. She had to admit, it was pretty true that the Rocket grunts were rather crap but she remembered to keep her cool, after all, she was supposed to be a Grunt too, even though she hated the idea. The grunt near the stairs didn’t seem too happy about Silver either; she could see his hand twitch towards the Pokéballs at his belt. Personally, she sort of hoped that he would challenge Silver, which would give her plenty of time to shoot upstairs and face off against some Rockets. But what if he wanted her to join in the battle as well? Soul knew she didn’t want to battle Silver right about now, it wouldn’t help her in anyway and she would much rather kick some grunts ass right about now.

Soul gazed at the redhead standing at the bottom of the stairs, almost trying to tell him with her eyes that this was all just a plot to get inside the Radio Tower, she would never join Team Rocket for real! Come on, sure they weren’t really friends but he knew her better than that right? He should know she would never do anything like that, she had battled against Team Rocket loads of times, why would he believe her to be actually joining them now? A sigh escaped her lips, knowing Silver wouldn’t be able to read her mind or the certain stare she was fixing on him. Soul was a little stuck on what to do next, a part of her wanted to run up the stairs, another to just smack the Rocket Grunt over the head while he had his back turned to her.. That was a good idea actually but she didn’t trust her physical strength to actually knock a fully grown man out, if she attempted something like that, she bet he could easily wrestle her to the ground and sound the alarm to his Rocket buddies.

Inside she was still panicking on what the hell she should do now! If Silver didn’t show up, things would have gone smoothly and she wouldn’t be stuck in this crap situation. Couldn’t he just go away and stop showing up at all the wrong times? “So..?” She huffed at Silver’s words, her long glove covered hands curled into fists as she stepped down from the last step and gave him a warning glare that screamed ‘shut up and go away’. It would be a miracle if he did that though and before she knew it, the redhead was in front of her and snatched the hat off her head. Personally, she didn’t care about the hat considering she hated the outfit but it was a shocking a weird move for Silver to pull on her. Soul glared back fiercely at him, her caramel eyes refusing to waver. She was deadly serious about this whole thing going according to plan that she refused Silver to stand in her way. “What does it matter to you what I do anyway?” She snapped straight after he had threatened her, she didn’t even notice the Grunt back away from the two teenagers; clearly he wasn’t sure what to do in this situation. “You don’t even like me, so why would you care if I joined Team Rocket? It’s none of your business Silver!” Soul hissed at the redhead, pleading him in her mind to just leave before something worse happened.

“And your threats don’t scare me, so don’t even bother trying.” She was nervous though, only because they were in Rocket territory and there were loads of the members ready to jump out and attack upon command. She pushed that feeling away though, her main priority right now was to make sure that Silver either left her alone, or at least got the message that she wasn’t stupid enough to actually join damn Team Rocket.
