A Team Rocket Story (Name in Progress)

Chapter 28

He soon picked up, "Hello?"

"Hey dad it's-"

"TESSIE, HI! I MISS YOU!" He started to yell. He wasn't even on speaker and James and Meowth could hear him across the table.

"Dad, calm down, I miss you too, but calm down." I said quickly, "Look I have a question."

He calmed down and quit yelling, "Oh, sure what's your question?"

"Have you ever took someone's life?" I said in a hushed voice.

My dad hesitated, "Well..." He paused again, "I hate to admit it, but yes I have."

"Have you gotten away with it?"

"I got away with it, but that was," he paused and started mumbling numbers, "22 Years ago Tessie..."

"Please tell me what you did."

"W-why? Tessie, what's going on?"

I looked around, "Hang on, I'll call you back." I said and hung up, "Let's go somewhere else," I told James and Meowth, "I can't talk about this here..."

James nodded and stood up, "Let's go back to the hotel, you still have several hours before your other match."

We waited as Meowth choked down the rest of the cookies and his milk, then we left, but not before saying thanks to our waitress for her free meal. At that we left. James drove back to the hotel, and once we were back in our room, I called my dad again, "Okay I'm back, dad." I sat on my bed and waited for him to respond.

"Okay, so what's going on?"

"Giovanni... Uh." I pulled my dads hat out of my bag and put it on, as well as my mothers pendant, which I had wrapped around the brim of the hat, "Hang on... No. Jessie dropped part of her Team Rocket uniform somewhere, so now Winston Larouge-"

"The tournament guy?"

"Yeah, he's onto the fact that there are Rocket members somewhere in the stadium."

"Hmm.. I see, oh I watched your battle on tv, you did great, by the way!"

"Wait, how'd you know-"

"Tessie, I know you're Zaria. No ones Arcanine is that strong, That Persian is obviously Giovanni's, and I know what my own Rhydon looks like."

I rolled my eyes, although only James and Meowth could see me do it, "right, Thanks dad, but right now I'm focused on my mission."

He laughed a little, "Sorry, Tess. Well from what you've told me, it sounds like Giovanni wants him dead before anything can get worse."

"Yup. I just don't know how I'm going to do this." I flopped back onto my bed.

He sighed, "Well... I had to kill the CEO of what used to be PokeGear Tech. The way I did it, I just slipped some poison into his drink."

"How should I kill my guy?" I asked.

My dad paused again, "I'd say, since you're ranked best actress in the base-"

"Wait, how do you know that?"

"I still know how to get into the database, Tessie, anyways I'd say fake another persons attempt."

"Fake another persons attempt?"

"I mean blame someone else."

"Maybe, what else?"

"Poisoning?"

"Next."

"Stabbing?"

"Too easy."
