“I… I have never seen you before…” Said the redhead although now with some awe and respect in her expression and voice.
“You are Jesse, once a promising young agent, now considered to be a small time crook and an unsuccessful one at that.” I state as kindly as possible. She makes a sour face at this.
I raise my hands to try and placate the fiery woman.
“Personally I see more potential in you then any agent. In fact you remind me of myself. I only wanted to prove to you that I am who I say. I mean how else would I have seen through your disguise so easily”
“But you are so young…” She says, struggling to grapple with the new information.
“Oh, this?” I say raising my arms, “this is just my cover. I have been in deep cover for a long time but I am almost ready to start making my moves.”
“I… I see, sir. It would be an honor to be included, for the right price of course.” Said Jesse raising a contemplating finger to her lips.
“I will get you everything you need baby, starting with three meals a day and a bed to sleep in. When was the last time you ate?” I ask even though I already know the answer.
“Two whole days ago!’ She moans.
“Well, you need wait only a bit longer, I am going to need your help to run a grift at the prize casino. They have a TM there which I must acquire-”
She interrupted me with her concerns.
“-I am throwing only a cacoona and a houndour, I cannot contend with the casino security and if there are officers in the area…”
“There will be no battle that is the nature of the grift. We will pose as players and sit at a card table. When I give the prompt, Albatina here will zap the dealer with confusion. Then you will run behind the table and call even more attention to the situation while I swipe a generous amount of chips off the table. Then I will get my prize and take you home.” (where you will give me ~another~ prize, I think)
“I have never heard of anything like it. But you are going to commit violence against a human with a Pokemon?” She questions with a pout.
“No one seemed to have any qualms about doing the same thing to you. And for what? For no good reason.” I demanded and she agreed vigorously.
