Subject: Re: [PW!] [ATR] A new ATR member Date: 1 Apr 1999 16:44:20 GMT From: simynlocke@aol.compadre (SimynLocke) Organization: AOL http://www.aol.com Newsgroups: alt.games.nintendo.pokemon > "Are you Sirius?" > Sirius didn't know what to do. > "No. That's Sirius," he said, pointing to Neo. Neo was awake, paging >through >an issue of the Pokémon Friend. The man seemed oblivious. Titan looked at the digital photo in his ATRdex, it clearly showed a young man with short black hair, who looked a little like Lance. After staring blanklessly at the real Sirius, Titan said, "Sir, you have been requested to visit my boss." "Your boss?" Sirius said, "what'd I do?" "Nothing Sir, but this meeting is of the utmost importance, your presence there is highly valued." "Uhhhh.... I don't know if I can-" Before Sirius had finished, Titan unzipped his jacked and allowed the emblem on his chest out into the light. "ATR?! What's this about! I'm no Rocket!" "Precisely, now if you please, we have an escort jet waiting outside." "Escort Jet...... can I bring my friends?" "No, commander wants just you. We'll bring you right back here after buisness is finished." "Ok, I'll go." Sirius said having his doubts, he began to sneak away from the group and out the door, but just in case he left a note with Neo. "This way sir," Titan said pointing to the rather large Jet parked right in the middle of the street. "Why do you keep callin me Sir..." Sirius's eyes fell upon the Jet, "woah!" They got into the jet, and with harrier capabilities they vertically took off. Sirius was left alone in the luxurious compartment, while Titan snuck off the front. After about an hour, Titan came on the PA, "Sir, we're approaching Ivory Island." Sirius looked out to see a glacier with some dewgongs on it, but as they got closer, he saw that the shoreline was completely white sand. "Woah....." Sirius said in awe, after the sand it was the white grass and trees that gave it away to be an island. "Ivory Island..." The sun reflected off the walls of the complex, revealing it's existance, completely white in color, it would have passed for any glacier. As the Jet landed, he saw many ATR members scrambling around, some with launchers, and some not. The door hatch opened, and Titan motioned for Sirius to get out. Down the steps, there was an armoured escort vehicle waiting, presuming it was for him he got in. After the ride was over, he got out and into a room that looked like a dungeon. "Hey, wait! You're not keeping me-" In an instant, Sirius was teleported up and away. * * * Simon waited in his office, anxiously awaiting Sirius whom he had hand picked from only a select few of trainers. The teleporter light went on, as Sirius appeared on the platform. In a defensive posture, he soon relaxed when he saw Simon. Simon, in his White ATR uniform, and his traditional Paperbag pulled over his head, awaited to see Sirius's reaction. Sirius managed to crack a smile, which made Simon happy as well. He stared right at Simon's paper bag. "Hello Sirius, welcome to Ivory Island. I'm Commander Simon of Anti Team Rocket, but you can call me Simon." "Thank you Simon," they did a firm shake, "But.... why did you bring me here." "Well, first things first, Please sit down." Simon tried his best to sound buisness like, but inside his paperbag he was almost laughing. When they were plopped on the leather sofa's, Simon started. "Sirius, I want you to join ATR." "Me?" "Yeah you, we need a person like you. You are the best at what you do, second only to Lance." "Well.... not for long." "Hhee, we've seen you in action. On the SS Anne, at Erikas gym, and we need you. Your skills in dragon training are essential, if we have any hopes in stopping team rocket you would be a vital key." Simon said. Sirius sat quietly and listened, it made Simon feel better to have his respect. "If you join, you will always have permenant residence here on Ivory Island and unlimited resources supplied by ATR, but I hope that's not all you're after." Sirius remaned quiet, unable to comprehend what was going on. Out of nowhere, he got shipped so some far away island to be asked to join an Anti Rocket orginization... He thought about if for a while, how much he hated Rockets, and how much he wanted to see Dreadite die... "Ok, I'm in." Said the Dragon Trainer. Simon smiled, "Good, we needed you." Simon got up to walk to his desk, "But not right now. You are to go back to Celadon, like none of this ever happened. I want you to be undercover, so Team Rocket will know I haven't gotten to you yet." "Ok, gotcha." "Our first mission together is at the Pokemon Auction in Celadon, Team Rocket is expecting a shipment of very, very powerful TMs stolen from the pokemon league. I want you to meet me up there, but remain undercover, the place will be crawling with Rockets." Sirius internally hoped that he'd have another chance at Dreadite... "Ok Sirius, I'll meet you down there, but I'll be in disquise as well." "Then how will I find you?" "It shouldn't be too hard," Simon said pointing to his paper bag. Sirius didn't want to ask any questions about it, the new prospects of being on an anti rocket org was still on top of his mind. Now he had legal reason to beat rocket ass. "Sirius, good luck." With an electronic buzz, Sirius was teleported out of there. Simon let out a deep, deep, breath and jumped on the sofa. "Man! I'm glad that's over with! Guys! You can come out now!" Through the pokemon door out raced Aqua, Mercury, and a tired looking Spike. For the rest of the day, Simon finished what he had been doing before Sirius arrived, training his Pokemon. * * * When Sirius walked back into the Celadon Pokecenter, he found his friends who were......
