[One Week Before Team rocket's Invasion]

The Guild Master of the mercenaries that Green had hired, Akari and her Vice, Hanzo strolled through the tranquil lanes of Pallet Town, with its quaint houses and gentle breeze whispering through the lush greenery.

Hanzo casted a side-glance at Akari, his usually stoic eyes flickering with an unsettling tension. "Akari, have you heard the news?" His voice was a low murmur, hardly disturbing the serenity enveloping them.

Akari, her eyebrows slightly lifted in intrigue, responded with a gentle, "No, what's going on?" Her eyes, deep wells of wisdom and calculated calm, fixated on her vice.

Hanzo paused for a moment, his gaze drifting towards the horizon before he spoke again, "The other mercenary guilds were given missions similar to ours."

Akari's steps halted, her gaze sharpening, "Coincidence?"

Shaking his head slowly, Hanzo revealed, "No. They've been stationed at specific points in other cities, all on the exact same date."

Akari's mind raced, her initial conjectures of their assignment dissolving into thin air. They were stationed in Pallet Town, the very place where the renowned Professor Samuel Oak resided. The initially plausible theory that they were simply there to safeguard some affluent individual securing a Pokémon starter for their child now seemed woefully inadequate given this new information.

As they approached the quaint restaurant, her thoughts were an intertwined mesh of possibilities and caution. Hanzo, noticing the distant look in Akari's eyes, gently prodded, "Are you okay?"

Akari blinked, her focus returning as they entered the warm, cozy interior of the restaurant. The scent of freshly cooked meals wafted through the air, a stark contrast to the swirling unease within her. "Any idea what's so special about June 28th?" Her voice was a soft whisper, almost lost amidst the gentle hum of patrons' conversations.

Hanzo shrugged nonchalantly, but his eyes held a shadow, "I don't know. But our contacts reported similar positioning from other guilds."

As they settled into a booth, the gentle rustle of fabric announced their server's arrival. Delia Ketchum, her eyes warm and welcoming, greeted them, "Welcome! What will you be having today?"

A moment of professionalism eclipsed Akari's turmoil. "May we see the menu? We'll be around for a week or two."

Delia, curiosity sparkling in her eyes yet respecting their privacy, nodded, "Of course, I'll fetch the menus."

With Delia momentarily gone, Akari leaned slightly forward, her voice barely audible, "Hanzo, what's troubling you?"

Hanzo hesitated, then leaned in, his words a mere breath, "It's about your earlier question, regarding which guilds..."

Akari leaned slightly forward, "Yes?"

His next words fell heavy between them, "All of them."

Akari's heartbeat pulsed in her ears, "Pardon?"

He reiterated with a weighted pause, "All the mercenary guilds in Kanto. All hired. All for a security job on June 28th across the entire nation of Kanto specifically for big cities alongside the fact each guild was given explicit instructions on where they needed to be stationed all of whom were hired by a single individual."
