You have no chance to survive
Who: Rocket Grunts, Magma Grunts, and Aqua Grunts! Basically all the Grunts!
Where: The Whirl Islands and Cinnabar Island
When: February 1st
Summary: Pretty much this
Rating: PG-13? It doesn't need to higher than that? Right, guys?
Log:
The orders are pretty simple. Go in. Wipe out the Team Aqua and Magma Grunts. That's it. So there's not going to be any farewell speeches or anything like that from the Admins because they're of the opinion that you guys have totally got this.
And if you don't...
Well, don't worry about that for now.
Instead, just worry about getting to the nearest base and boarding a helicopter. After that, you've got a short (or long, depending on which base you're heading to) ride ahead of you to some islands in the middle of the ocean, inhabited by a bunch of Aqua and Magma Grunts who have no idea this surprise is on the way. So just do what you do best, Rockets!
And as far as the Admins are concerned what you do best should be to win at all costs. Anything less and well, that would just be an embarrassing return to the region for them. And nobody wants that.

Besides, this is...curious. And frankly, unsettling.
So she was waiting for permission? From him, as opposed to her own trainer?
...You know, he's long expected that he probably shouldn't trust the Pokemon he was given by the organization to the fullest degree (why else would he have caught the rest of his psychic team by hand, from the wild?), but if this is the proof of it, that at any time Schlingel could refuse one of his orders in favor of getting a superior's permission...
Well, fuck that, basically.]
You take orders from her, not from me.
[Maybe he'll regret that someday, but no one ever said he was a strategist, either.
Maybe he'll regret that the remark comes out a little quieter than he means it to, as well, but that would involve admitting to regret in the first place, and professionally speaking he hates that.]
If you want out, then go.
[He pauses, reaching for the balls at his belt long enough to retrieve his Zoroark, which when called out abruptly takes up its place at his side like it's supposed to.]
...But if you want to stay and wreck shit, an illusion might go a little farther for you than trying to keep your hands over your face.
1/2
As you wish. I will take my orders from my trainer, in lieu of you.
[She'll have to try and explain this to Celes when they return home, but...how much is she allowed to reveal? This...this interference from Team Rocket has never bothered her before, but then again...her trainer has never done work for them before, has she?
Closing her eyes, Victoria casts her mind over to Celes', keeping the conversation between the two of them.]
I can teleport us back to the helicopter if you like, Celestia-sama. It would be best if we stayed with the Team, for now, but I will keep people away from you if you wish it.
[Celes remains silent after Victoria has spoken, still glaring at Jaeger through her fingers.]
If I'd wanted to use a Zoroark, I would have brought my own.
[Her voice is uneven, and she's not making any effort to hide the bitterness that flavours it. It's...too late now, isn't it? It doesn't matter that she's hidden her face so desperately...he knows who she is, and he's seen her face, her disgusting face...why would he want to stay around her now, especially after she's done her best to be cruel?
He's interested in Celestia Ludenberg, fool. Not you.
The thoughts run through her head with uncomfortable force, but Celes can't banish them; not here, not in this tense situation, not...
...]
2/2
[The next seconds zip past in a blur; her Milotic flies safely into her Pokeball, while Victoria sends her one of those scarves they'd discovered in those Magma crates. Wrapping it roughly around her face, up to her eyes, Celes gives Victoria a nod.
They're getting out of here. She can't take it any more.
The second before she disappears into the Teleport, Celes locks eyes with Jaeger. She's not going to the Helicopter; not now. Not when she's feeling this worked up. As long as Victoria sends her somewhere else in the base, far away from him, she won't mind.
She's got work to do, after all.]
