she's got the movie star smile [tr]

[Felicity Gray !]

Her long green-blue haired floated behind her as Felicity walked casually down the halls of the Team Rocket base. It had been a while since she had been here, considering she preferred the freedom of wandering around in the regions, rather than being stuck in this cold place. However, she had been summoned back after the Goldenrod attack, which she hadn’t participated in, to discuss how everything went and what Team Rocket’s next plan of action was. To say the least, Fell wasn’t too excited about it all, she didn’t agree with many of things the organisation did and currently, she secretly felt bad for the citizens of Goldenrod, a once beautiful city Felicity had enjoyed visiting. Of course, she didn’t express said feelings out loud to her colleagues, those thoughts were for her only.

Apparently, the meeting wouldn’t be till tomorrow anyway, so Fell gathered she had a lot of time to burn and little much to do, there never really was anything entertaining to participate in around here. Apparently fun was frowned upon. Felicity decided to do a bit of training to pass the time. While she wasn’t as weak as a grunt anymore that’s for sure but she certainly wasn’t on her brother’s level just yet. Perhaps if she got even stronger, then her brother would finally look at her in the way that he used to, like he actually cared for her instead of looking though her, like she was invisible to him. Felicity sighed, she hated the way he acted towards her, how she wished she was little again so she could cherish the time they spent together even more.

Before long, Felicity entered the large room where most Rocket members trained, it was pretty simple, a few battle arenas marked out on the floor and that was really it and a few benches around the walls to rest on. The room wasn’t exactly a sight she would want to look at every day. There was already a few people in there, battling together or just practicing their moves. Felicity wondered what she should do, wait and see if there was someone to partner up with, or perhaps practice some commands with a few of her pokemon?

Ooc: TR only. ♥

[Takenji]

Within the confines of Team Rocket's headquarters was a large office located within the research department. Inside the room was lavishly decorated with various statues and classical paintings, there were several bookshelves stacked with literature, and the furniture appeared to be of the highest quality. Sitting behind the desk was a middle-aged man whose attention was fixated on the contents of the report. Standing on the opposite side of the desk was a red haired man, wearing the standard uniform of the task force unit.

There was silence in the room, all save the flipping of the pages in the folder and the mumbled comments of the man behind the desk. When he was finally finished with the report he closed it and leaned back in his chair before removing his glasses. "You do seem to be making progress...," the man said casually as he slid the report across his desk. "But you're taking too long," his voice suddenly becoming more serious. "Five years you've been researching this 'Aura' and yet to come up with anything conclusive."

"Proper research takes time," Takenji interjected. His face was stern and his blue eyes stared down at the man. The tension in the room seemed to rise a little as they stared at each other. Letting out a sigh the man continued.

"As I was saying, I do see the potential that this research holds. Not to mention the potential you have as a researcher. It's why you still have your job. However, the higher-ups aren't going to keep funding this unless you start bringing in something substantial," he said as he pulled out a document from his desk and wrote down something on it. "Your next review will be in six months. Don't disappoint me. Dismissed."

With a simple nod of his head Takenji turned around and exited the room. An anger seemed to course through his body as he walked down the hallway. He despised having to work underneath the pompous and ungrateful bastards that ran this organization now. Back during the time when Giovanni was leading Team Rocket he wasn't constantly being tied down by these time restraints. He was free to conduct the research thoroughly.

But there's no point in living in the past.

Figuring that he'd take out his frustration on some lowly grunts he headed towards the training facility. As he approached the room he couldn't help but notice the blue haired girl that had just entered. Normally he didn't pay much attention to the other members of Team Rocket, but there was something odd about her. She didn't seem to carry any of the greed, malice, and belligerence that many of his colleagues embodied. On a whim he decided to approach the young woman, stopping just beside her.

"You seem lost," he commented idly. "Or rather...you seem a little out of place."
