Karai "Kar" Horoshi
Hellcat chopper, Arriving in Vermillion city, Kanto
Affected RPers: N/A

The chopper touched down on a helicopter pad near the city reserved for police and military. The stealth feature that we had on this particular one allowed it to change the appearance on the outside. Right now it had identification as a Kanto Police Department helicopter, though of course we couldn't change the look from a military helicopter. There was a big KPD emblazoned on it now, as well as the proper identification. The chopper auto pilot was programmed to take off afterward for a nearby clearing in the wood where we would find it later anyway so it's not like it was going to be staying around very long. We just didn't want to be stepping out of thin air or out of a door to nothing. That would look even more suspicious. The five of us had our masks and KPD uniforms on, which had long been swiped from the real KPD. We weren't planning to stay in the region long if we could help it, anyway. We headed over to the guy in the sailor suit checking papers, clearing our throats to prepare for changing our voice to match the pitch and accent in Kanto. He was a bit taken aback at us just showing up, but quickly regained his composure.

"Papers, please. Kanto is at war and I can't take any chances. I'm sure you understand." He held out his hand for the papers.

I nodded. "Of course." We each reached into our pockets and pulled out our completely authentic badges but forged papers and handed it to the man. Dan had hacked into their database on the way here and inserted our info. He would remove it when the Op here was done.

He scanned them with a gadget that looked like a metal detector and it chimed a pleasant chime. "So, what brings you here Officers? Usually we call the KPD if we need it or patrols just show up."

As the usual voice of the squad I answered the questions unless one of them was addressed directly. We were a tight-knit group and what went for one went for all. Though this time I really wasn't aware of what the Op was, so Dan stepped up and handed the man what looked like a warrant. "We're chasing a wanted criminal last seen in Saffron City. He's wanted for two counts of murder and one count of burglary." Of course I was sure the warrant was completely forged, but it would come up as authentic when scanned. The machine beeped a pleasant chime again and the man nodded.

"Everything checks out Officers. Welcome to Vermillion City. If you're not in too much of a hurry, you should check out our tour which includes the Gym and the S.S. Anne." He said with a cheerful smile. Dan smiled back and we filed past the sailor. Once we were out of view I had to ask him about this.

"Dan, are we really chasing a criminal?" I asked him as we hurried north toward Route 6. He looked at me like I was crazy and otherwise didn't say anything. I answered my own question. "Of course we're not. So what are we doing on this globe trotting adventure?"

"We're tracking the black market and sales of manufactured Burst Hearts. I figure more of them for Aqua's cause counts as helping." The rest of us nodded as we quickened our pace.

About ten minutes of walking we reached Route 6. We were about to just continue when what seemed to be a trainer completely not watching where he was going bumped into me. It was always an awkward feeling when somebody bumped into me like that, especially since he was shorter and his head ended up in a weird position. "Kid, keep an eye on the road next time and not on your phone." I told him, still in the same Kanto dialect.

"You bumped into me, lady!" I looked him over now. He was wearing a white t-shirt over his tanned skin with a vest, and blue jeans. He also wore a local team cap. He pulled out a Pokéball, made it large, and gripped it tightly.

"Oh, a rude one eh? I can detain you for annoying an officer of the law!" I yelled at him, though really I couldn't and didn't know where I'd take him anyway.

The kid gripped his ball tightly. "Rude?! Seriously, YOU bumped into ME! Battle me and let's settle this the fair way!" I shrugged as he grinned and threw out a Charmander. It had the same cocky grin as it's trainer. I decided to play with him, tossing out my Venusaur.

"Saur!" Leafy bellowed as he roared out his name. The Charmander started laughing with pieces of his voice in there.

"You're really using a grass type against a fire type? What kind of trainer are you?" He was laughing really hard, but managed to ask his Pokémon to make a move. "Charmander, Ember attack!" The fire lizard started spitting embers as he jumped up.

"Leafy, Razor Leaf!" Leafy spit out a colossal storm of leaves from of his flower bulb. Some of the leaves got burned by the embers, and Leafy even took some hits as well, getting knocked back, but most of the leaves hit the Charmander, taking it out.

"No way!" Yelled the cocky kid. "There's no way. That attack only burned some leaves, but it did hit, I saw it!"

"So? My Venusaur is just trained better. You never had a chance." Leafy nodded and smiled, proud of himself. I then patted him on the head lightly. "Go and train then maybe you'll have a shot at the Gym here." The boy sighed and recalled his collapsed Charmander.

"I'm sorry. I really should be watching where I'm going while I use my smartphone. So what are you going to do now Officer, arrest me like you said?" He sighed and put his arms out to be cuffed.

"I was kidding about that." I slapped his wrists, recalling Leafy. "Just go train." The five of us walked past him as he let out a long sigh and leaned against a nearby tree.

We headed north toward Saffron City and were at the gate in no time. The guard didn't even pay attention, the slacker.
