Pokémon Leaf Chronicles

Part 84. The Might of Team Rocket

There within the deep basement of the Hidden Floors rested a shadow of an Executive within the flag of the organization. Reclining himself into his exotic, brown, office leather chair. Lighting a cigar just for the perfect occasion.

Giovanni, the Leader of the organization, noticed strange movement on a large flat screen within the Hideout office. The room was darkly lit. With subtle, blue lighting to hide their faces with discreetness. They had finally procured the Porygon that they needed in order to use him for their intended purposes.

He had a remote within his grip, flipping through each channel on the feed. The CEO of the organization inhaled and puffed smoke emitted from the tip of his cigar. The man wore a black jumpsuit with black, shiny shoes. A manicured balding from the top of his head, neatly shaven in appearance. He was muscular and had a more robust, chiseled look about him with the "R" insignia stitched to his left pocket.

His eyes were slanted, fixed on the security feed of his high office. Among the Leader behind a large, polished mahogany desk was the two Team Rocket Executives, both of whom were from Earth One. The same Rainbow Rocket duo that we teamed up with during our dimensional swap from Solress's powerful StarWarp machine.

"Ariana, Archer, how soon do we expect the Pokémon in question?" He inquired with a gruff voice.

The two froze from his stout-like appearance; he wasn't like the Giovanni they had met on Earth One. Sure, he was just as serious as this one was, but he had a blood lust that was very apparent from his anti-social behavior. Their had to be many people that had lost their life after encountering him. Including many Pokémon in the world of Kanto, though that didn't stop Earth One's Giovanni for his quest for power in the Johto region. For Earth One's Giovanni was more Machiavellian then him.

The smoke emitted from his cigar was unbearably palpable within the room that even Ariana and Archer were wondering on whether or not they should leave? They'd already risk being berated by him, of course.

"Y-you mean Porygon?" Asked Archer with a hushed tone.

The slender man took in another puff of smoke and jammed his cigar into the shiny ashtray across his desk. He reclined back into his chair and pulled his arms back behind his head with a stretch, while also resting his feet along the beautiful polished desk in front of him. He couldn't help but smirk after that question. He almost felt within his heart that Porygon was coming close.

"Nevermind, I know he'll be arriving soon." He grinned with even more satisfaction.

"Who?" Entreated Ariana.

Suddenly, the room started to flash red around them. A loud siren and an automated voice started to permeate the hidden floors of the Hideout.

"Intruder Alert, Intruder Alert." Howled the automated female voice as every anxious Rocket Grunt scrambled about them on screen. Almost as if they were concerned about the approach of an unknown enemy.

Ariana and Archer were just about to disembark from the room until a rough voice echoed within the decadent office.

"Wait here, you are not leaving your Executive here alone."

"But sir—

"There are intruders!" Rebutted Archer in response.

"I am aware."

Giovanni then flipped to the main lobby of the hideout and caught a glimpse of two Trainer's that had sounded the alarm. One of them Battling the Grunt's. Derek had the bag with the Pokémon species Porygon inside. Protecting their most prized catch from the onslaught of my friends, who both had their Pikachu's ready to fight.
