A teenager wearing black informal clothes stood infront of a casino.
???'s .P.O.V. Ula' Ula' Island
Ilefa Casino. Filled to the brim with criminals, thieves and war-lords.
I turn the camera and audio on my glasses up.
"Boss," I whispered. "You can see everything, right?"
"Positive, Agent Gladion."
I went in.
The hall was fancy and massive. Orange three-seater couches, lined with red and pink velvet. Golden Chandeilueirs with sparkling white diamonds, bronze eating utensils, dark brown oak wooden tables and chairs lined with grey leather...yes, it was impressive to Gladion.
Too impressive. A bit distasteful. So fancy that......it reminded him of.....there.
He shook his head. He couldn't think of his early days, no matter what.
So he approached Team Cosmos (Skull) Boss Guzma's snooker table, and played.
4 HOURS LATER
He sighed, and put P10,000,000,000 in his bag. The amount was, indeed, ridiculous. It could power the whole of Saffron City! Well, maybe not.....but it was still much too much!
On his way out, a Cosmos grunt attempted to kick him. He jumped, and the grunt fell on the floor.
Cosmos grunts were strong. They often wore Black Trousers, and these White Socks that are actually elastic shoes, with red pads under. They had silver belts and a great balls, usually. They wore the same Grey tops as Team Rocket, but with a Galaxy symbol, and they had long blue hair and a Beartic-fur hood, with a rifle and katana. Lately they had been known to each have a Kantonian Sandslash, and many had Rhyhorn, from a raid of two patches of Grass near Hammerlocke Hills in the Wild Area near Hammerlocke City, in the Galar Region. 4 officers were known for Kantonian Persian, and most Grunts had a Toxtricity. So Gladion was not amused by the stunt.
He put his foot on the Grunt's head. He had wanted to do this for a long time.
"Yo beat ah leader. So we'we bee yo up. (You beat our leader. So we'll beat you up.)"
I stared. This man, I told myself, was clearly drunk.
And I found myself surrounded by an army.
I let out my main partner, a Galarian Rapidash, and Gardevoir, Silvally, Zoroark, Umbreon, Lucario and Noivern. Within 15 seconds, the grunts were unconscious and the Admin Plumeria had taken to a beating. I won.
No one's .P.O.V.
Guzma stared, impressed.
"Hey Kid...." he started. "Do you wanna be my enforcer?"
Gladion stared again.
"My name's Gladion. And what's in it for me?" he made sure not to sound too eager.
"Loot, 30,0000,0 a month,in charge of a third of the grunts, above the grunts, scientists and even the Admin and Powerful Pokemon, Fame, in return for your loyal services. See ya' next Saturday."
After waiting patiently, to appear mentally debating, Gladion agreed.
He stepped out of the Casino, and was swallowed in a pink light.
When Guzma's eyes got back to normal, he wasn't there.
Needless to say, some of Team Cosmos weren't happy with this.
Poni Island Tapu Town:
In a gust of wind, snag of claws, and flash of pink-coloured light, Gladion appeared on his house's door, and entered.
4 minutes later he left, looking different.
His glasses were gone. He had magenta hair, due to experiments. It was long and silky, and fell to his back. His right eye was red, his left black. He held a black walking stick, with a katana on his waist-sheath and a rifle slung over his back. He was wearing the same thing as his alternate universe's Ultra Guardian suit, but without the symbol. A purple cloak with black fastenings was strapped to his back, and underneath was the same sort of bag that the boys have in Pokemon Sword. He then teleported again.
No one could no where he was now. He was deep inside the Crown Shrine in Galar. A warm, lovely, golden Palace awaited him.
He thought to his branch. The Alolan Branch of the international Police. And how he would be infilitrating Team Cosmos on purpose on Saturday, four days from now. It was common, for a regional Branch to have a HQ in another region. He was said to be the strongest in his branch, but he had rivals among Kiawe, Hau and Ilima. The quadrant were all extremely high officials. Then he thought to Hapu, Nanu, Olivia and Hala. They trained Recruits. They all had Code Names, which were easier to talk about him, because his name was so long.
Kiawe was Klar,
Hau was Lorst,
Ilima was Nexcro,
And Gladion was Inori,
But they only referred to Gladion with his Code Name.
Speaking of which,
"Hello Inori," said Kiawe.
