From: Insanellama <insanellama316@yahoo.com> Subject: [PW!] Kiniro leaves Celadon HQ Date: Monday, July 19, 1999 8:08 AM Kiniro walked out of Celadon HQ into the bleak summer sun. It burned down on the grey streets illiciting heat waves to rise up from the ground, obscuring what you probably didn't want to see anyway. In its hay-day, celadon had been a beautiful city, but as cities tend to do, as it grew it lost its luster. People didn't care anymore about a ltitle garbage in the streets like they used to. Dead crickets were turning the street a sickening brown. They were piling up and creating a putrid smell, in this part of celadon. He trudged on knocking crickets out of his path with his boots. [OOC] Crickets really do pile up like that. In a small town in Texas last year, they covered the streets, in some places up to 2 inches deep. [OOC] He passed by what was left of the Pokecenter. The remains were still smoldering a bit from the explosion. Soon he knew that people would be stepping in to rebuild it. He continued on his route. He was going to meet up with one of the youth gang leaders, his boss had a mission for them. Sid was standing by a dumpster smoking. Kiniro walked up to him, and when he was within arm's reach, backhanded the joint out of Sid's mouth. "No smoking on the job kid." Kiniro's next step landed on the joint putting it out. "Whoop de do, look at the big man in black, thinks he can push me around guys" said Sid. Kiniro now knew that the kid was high as a kite. There were no guys anywhere near Sid, and Sid new full well, that any adult member of team rocket, including Jessie and James, was above the you gangs in the Team Rocket authority ladder. Kiniro grabbed Sid by the shirt collar, and pulled him up nose to nose with him. "Now listen close, cause I'm only gonna say this once, We have a mission for you, call your guys over here now." The kid's eyes rolled a little farther into his head, "What if I don't." Kiniro calmed visably, and said cooly "Then I'll leave your brains splattered all over the street for your friends to pick up with a blotter." Sid made a noise that resembled an owl call, and 11 kids showed up. Kiniro relaxed his grip, and let sid back up a bit. "First off," kiniro began, "Make sure your leader here doesn't smoke while he's on the clock anymore. 2nd we've got a mission for you to accomplish. The remains of the pokecenter, are littered with pokeballs ripe for the picking. Sack them up and bring them back to hq. In return you may each have the pokeball of your choice from the take. That is all." Kiniro spun on his heal, and walked off. TBC
