Sage stepped onto the second floor of Silph Co with her heart racing as the entire place seemed tense as she adjusted her disguise to make sure nothing was out of place.
She walked with purpose, her steps echoing softly in the empty hallway as she surveyed her surroundings as the building felt oppressive and she could sense the air thick with secrecy.
Why would Team Rocket invade this place" Sage thought as she knew about Silph Co since her mother used to work here in the past and Silph Co was that main reason why Kanto is so modern as they were the ones who set up the magnet train.
Suddenly the quiet was interrupted by the faint buzz of her room phone as Sage's heart skipped a beat as she made sure no one was watching her as she retrieved her phone and saw a message from Red.
I managed to hide a card key on the sixth floor of Silph Co. You'll need it if you want to open the locked doors. Good luck.
Sage couldn't help but smile as Red had already done his part and now it was her turn as she had to get to the sixth floor and retrieve that card key but before she could make a move, a voice interrupted her thoughts.
What are you doing here?" The voice came from behind her as Sage quickly turned to see one of the grunts with his eyes narrowing suspiciously.
Your post is on Floor Seven to guard the hostages" The grunt said as Sage immediately snapped into character as she straightened up and nodded slightly.
I'll get back to work" Sage muttered in a bored tone.
Don't fail us Tessa, you know how the boss gets when he sees us slack off from our duties" the grunt said as he walked away.
As soon as the grunt turned the corner, Sage let out a quiet breath as she had to stay alert as one slip-up could ruin everything.
Pulling herself together, Sage reached for her belt and released two of her Pokémon: Shadebark and Pikachu.
Shadebark, Pikachu, listen up" Sage said in a low whisper as the two Pokémon looked up at her with their expressions serious.
I need you two to be as quiet as possible and sneak up to the sixth floor as there is a card key hidden there. Get in, find it and bring it back. Understood?" Sage said as both Pokémon nodded as they knew the importance of the task ahead.
Good now go and don't get caught" Sage said as Shadebark disappeared into the shadows and Pikachu crawled through the vents
Sage smiled slightly as she walked casually down the hallway as she passed by a few more grunts who paid her no mind and qs she neared a corner, she quickly ducked into an empty room and stood still with her heart pounding in her chest.
Her mind raced as she was thinking about everything that could go wrong but she knew there was no turning back now
She had to trust that Pikachu and Shadebark can find the Card key and while the do that, she will make sure to free the hostages on the seventh floor.
