Route 2, just south of Viridian Forest
"You've been doing well today," Leaf said to her Gengar, Loki. They had just been in a battle with a local bug catcher. It was a tough battle, and she could tell that he had raised his Scyther well. Loki had managed to defeat the Scyther in the end, though.

Leaf had been doing nothing but battling all day. Viridian Forest was a great meeting place for trainers, both beginning and advanced. She came here often to pick out the strong trainers and battle with them. Sometimes she won, sometimes she lost. Each battle, no matter the outcome, helped her and her Pokemon grow stronger, though.

Today was different, though. She wasn't battling just for the purpose of training. She was trying hard to keep her mind busy. Lately, she had been hearing rumors of sightings of Giovanni, the former boss of Team Rocket.

She hadn't heard about him for years, not since Red defeated him in that fateful gym battle. She wasn't even sure he would remember her. But she knew that he was one of the last people she wanted to run in to.

It had been many years since he had travelled through Kanto, although he had spent so much time just west of the region.
Since his official return to business, he had spent most of his time in Johto, being as that was where his executives had rebuilt the business. However, there were still a number of assets to his business that remained in Kanto.
He had to rebuild the Kanto branch.

Viridian city was his home. The gym may not have been his any longer, but his manor was. Situated somewhere near, but concealed by the forest.
And so that is where he was, within the forest, some distance away, accompanied by two other men, likely grunts from his organization.
They spoke softly, in hushed tones, likely impossible to make out what they were saying.

She had never paid much attention to the manor. She had taken this path many times to get home, but the manor was well-concealed by trees, so it didn't stand out much. However, the men whispering by the manor caught her attention.

Curiosity had taken over common sense. She walked closer to the manor. She then remembered that Loki was still out of his Pokeball. And he was eyeing the men just as she was.

"Loki," she whispered, "I know you probably want to sneak up behind them and play a trick on them, but it's not a good time to do this. I need you to get back in your Pokeball."

The Gengar looked slightly annoyed, but he reluctantly returned.

She crept closer to the manor, being careful not to make any noise. The whispering men were still hidden by shadows, but she could at least understand what they were saying.

She knew she probably shouldn't be spying on them like this. But she couldn't run away.

	"Being surrounded by the Pokemon and people that love me makes me happy," she told him. "I don't assume you know what that feels like." She wanted to play on his insecurities, just as he was doing to her, but she honestly didn't know very much about this man. Plus, he seemed so self-confidant. "Does anyone love you? Could anyone possibly love a man like you?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Yes." He nodded firmly. His face fixing into a stoic mask, though there was something in the narrowing of his eyes that gave the slightest impression that he was hiding something. "Care only for yourself, and no-one shall let you down. No-one will backstab you, no-one will double cross you." He circled around her. "And abandonment means little."

	"I understand." She hoped to never come anywhere near Team Rocket ever again. But with her luck, she somehow knew they would cross paths again. "I can't believe I wasted this much time talking to you," she said under her breath. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Good." He stepped back a little, preparing to turn back, to head towards his manor. "Now if you will excuse me, I have far more important things to do than deal with you." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
