Cinder (the charmeleon) wore a trenchcoat to keep inconspicous. "We're at the gathering place. Do everything you say. If you make a mistake you'll probably be shot." Cinder said as he knocked on a seemingly inconspicous section of building. "State your name and password." came a voice from inside the building. "Cinder, password 38ElectabuzzDragon5Alpha. I've got tentaclees, tuff guy and a new recruit with me." cinder said through his translator. A small section of the building slid open with barely enough room for cinder, tuff guy (the wigglytuff), tentaclees and darwin to squeeze through, one at a time. 300 feet above: The rocket looked down on them from the roof of a nearby building, using his standard issue rocket binoculars to amplify his vision. "HQ, this is observer 4. I've located the entrance to the resistance base. It's at 136 9th street. Also an unexpected bonus: That black eevee we've been trying to catch is there. Over and out." He said quietly into a wristwatch communicator. Back down below: A golduck with a magnun clenched tightly in her webbed hand lead darwin, tuff guy, cinder and tentaclees down a dimly light and small section of stairs. When the stairs ended darwin and the gang were in a war room filled with maps and charts. A large table stood in the middle of the room. It was covered with a large map of saffron city stuck with bobby pins. Around the table sat a meowth, a wartortle, a ninetails and a green haired man who looked like he might be a former rocket in metal foldout chairs. In one corner of the war room was a small bar with various pokemon and humans sitting on the barstools and drinking. "Cinder! We need you to review those plans for the latest raid on the police station." A venonat said to cinder. "Well darwin I gotta go. I'll hand you over to our recruiter and trainer. Muscles, could you teach this greenie the basics?" "Coytainly Cinder." replied a machoke dressed in camoflauge (sp?) gear. The machoke led darwin into another room lit by a black light. This room was signifigantly less dingy than the war room. "Pull up a chair, eevee. Foist thing we gotta do is equip ya. Ya don't get much so don't get yer hopes up. First, and most importantly you get an antidex, the circular thingy i'm handing you right now. It contains as much information as you'll ever need on how to resist, from starting rebellions in gyms to acquiring and using weapons and explosives to how to infect pokedexes with viruses etcedera. It also can be used as a wristwatch, communicator and detonator, should you ever get your hands on remote mines. Ya don't get a gun. Ammo is precious and we can only use it for the most crucial operations. However we do provide ya with up to three TMs for your use. Just tell the diglett at the supplies desk what ya want and he'll see if we have it. Tell 'im muscles sent ya. Ya also get a set of 3 lockpicks, for freeing caged pokemon and a free subscription to rolling stone. Now that ya got all yer equipment let's go over rules of conduct. First and foremost make sure ta minimize damage to civilian property. Second always be discreet. Don't use your communicator too much or someone might pick up da transmission and don't gather in groups of more than 6 in daylight. Third it's okay to hurt trainers in da process of freeing pokemon but try not to kill dem. We're not dopplers followers, although we do work with them. And most importantly DON'T DO ANYTHING STUPID! Dat includes stuff like trying to bomb indigo plateau or assaulting a police station single handedly. Combat training is here, tommorow at midnight. Once yer done with training you're free to find your own way of resisting. Combat orders are kept to a bare minimum to give each resistor maximum flexibility. And if yer ever in trouble just yell our distress code 3 times. Da code is 7500. Write that down somewhere. And if ya ever need to show your'e a member just display our logo: A pokeball in a red circle slash. Dat's all for now." Darwin walked to the front desk to pick up his equipment......
