From: Insanellama <insanellama316@geocities.com> Subject: [PW!] Chaoticllama meets Claire Date: Monday, June 07, 1999 8:16 PM Chaoticllama packed up the rest of his gear and rode into town. He dismounted at the door to the pokecenter, and lead lowjack and Firestorm in by there lead ropes. He dropped them off at the desk to be fed. He flicked a few coins onto the desk. "Pokemon times please" he said to the clerk. She handed him a copy. He folded it under his arm surveying the pokecenter. Then walked over towards a corner near a woman clad in black. He noticed while casually glancing at her eyes, careful to avoid making eye contact, that while she did have a copy of the pokemon times up in the reading position, her eyes were rarely focused on it. He continued walking toward the corner when something fell from her pocket it was white. Then he realized what it was. It was a white R patch. He casually bent down, and picked it up, saying "I believe you dropped this mam," while handing it to her with is left hand, he brought his rightand up to his cowboy hat, and brushed the cloth cover away from the red R on it. The maneuver would have looked to anyone else like he was politely tipping his hat. Chaoticllama sat down beside her, and behind the papers, they talked. "So you were doing the same thing I was about to do" said Chaoticllama flashing a somewhat lopsided smile. "I guess we think a little alike," she said, a little put off at the way he had said the previous sentence. Chaoticllama realized he was about to feel a very icy shoulder if he didn't stop with this line of talk. So he artfully changed the subject. "Cops tore off into the neighborhood that that lawyer lived in, I figured one of Team Rocket offed him." he whispered. She smiled a little at that, "you're looking at her." Chaoticllama smiled, "that's what I figured, by the way, let me shake your hand, good job on it" I passed by the back window. You got the job done and you got it done silently, but you missed the sensor that activated when you opened the sky light. It was the only security I spotted on the place other than door. No big deal really, no one has any idea, and you got back here quick enough that this is your aliby. I might have missed it myself, if not for the blinking red light that came on after it was opened." said Chaoticllama, offering his hand to her. She let it hang there, saying with contempt "Thanks so much for the compliment. I'm Clair." she almost growled the last out. Chaoticllama said "Well, I'm Chaoticllama, I like your style is all I was saying." He sat his hand back down, and let it fall under his cloak, resting on the butt of his holstered Colt .45 fully automatic pistol. Claire didn't miss a trick, "You're armed, major league armed, I can tell. From the looks of it, I'd say you've got a hand on a pistol butt. The bulge in your sleeve would seem to indicate throwing knives I see the whip, and rope on your rapidash. And from the looks of that smile, there's plenty more where that came from." Chaoticllama smiled innocently, "You got me, in more ways than one, I'm carrying a small arsenal. I also know where I can get plenty more, with no questions asked." he pulled a matte black throwing knife from his sleeve. "invisible at night, very useful for covert ops, you should take it up, The knife is your's if you want it." She let the knife remain there for a good 30 seconds then took it saying, "Only if I can use it to stab you in the back." Chaoticllama smiled, he expected that, "Anytime, no honor in stabbing someone in the back, but what good is honor without a body to enjoy it in. I'll teach you if you like." She acquiesed, "Sure why not, the more I hone my skills, the more useful I become." Chaoticllam stood up, "I'll be right back, I'm going to grab a couple things for ya real quick." That said, he went to a steele smith, and bought 4 more throwing knives. He came back, and sat down beside her again. "I'm hitching a ride to Pokemon Island, on a boat Giovanni wants to dissappear, if you're interested, come to the woods 15 minutes after I leave." They broke off thier conversation, and pretended to read the paper. Then Chaoticllama got up after about 20 minutes, yawning and stretching, and lead lowjack and Firestorm into the woods. 15 minutes to the second after he exited the door, Claire left the pokecenter. She was to the edge of the woods looking for chaoticllama. Then she heard the sound of an owl. She followed it, and Chaoticllama stepped out in front of her. He handed her a glass of rum and coke, "To things to come, and adventures that await." he said. "To victory over all for Team Rocket" she said as they touched glasses. TBC Well, to the beginning of a beautiful, and infamous friendship, I hope....
