"Breaking News"
"In a series of unforeseen events, pokemon throughout the region have been going missing from trainers and homes in Kanto. The police have been investigating the strange disappearances of trainers as well..." Director Blackwood stood in front of a group of trained and highly skilled agents on different screens that show the image of agents. Aubree Blackwood was the managing director of this group and was giving them a mission that would take them awhile to complete. "As you can see the news has picked up the news that most poekmon are being stolen along with trainers disappearing throughout the region. We have leave to believe that the nefarious group Team Rocket has made a move to recruit new trainers or holding them indefinitely until they agree or dumped somewhere with their memories whipped from them. The ones that we have found have turned up in other regions then the one that they started in. It seems that they have been covering their tracks much better than in the past. You are our most seasoned and trustworthy agents. I want you to find out what is going on with the trainers, and pokemon of Kanto. Each of you will have an identity of a Rocket member, this was from an inside source from the recruitment part. They are not able to get us much info, but they were able to place the information that each of you have submitted for one of your personas as an agent." Blackwood spoke to the screen with a clear and concise manner befitting her high level within the agency. Pulling out a few different items, she placed them on a device that transported them to the location of each agent.
"This is your standard starting gear for this level of mission. As you can see each of you have a trainer card, this is for the job given to you, as you will starting out as a trainer with the understanding that you would try to find out what is happening to the trainers. You will be giving a pokelink box as a way to keep your pokemon separate from each of your roles as a trainer and Team Rocket member. You must not draw attention to your role as Rocket members, this means doing what they ask in a way to sabotage their inner workings. We need to stop them from the inside. More information will be given once you are in higher ranks of the criminal organization." With that the screen went black, which was the signal for the agents to get to work. There was a beep that signaled to the agents that they received of their mission.

Sarah Winchester was a short girl, which was contrasted with the man standing next to her. "I will be fine Xiaver; I am just going to be going to Kanto. You know Blaze can get to me in no time.' Xiaver was Sarah's long-term boyfriend. He was six feet tall with a strong wiry build. He had thick hair that fell to his shoulders, it was in waves. He wore dark colored clothing, in a punk style with ripped jeans and black leather vest. Around his eyes was black eyeliner that was smudged. "Besides you know that I can handle myself even with a new pokemon that I will be getting later on today."
"I know Sarah, but I just worry about you. I love you, and I will see you later." With a soft kiss given to the short trainer, Xaiver watched as Sarah walked to plane that would take her to Pallet town. The plane ride was easy with the new plane, which was state of the art, and had the room to hold most people in Lumiose City in Kalos. It seemed that her job would be a bit more relaxing than most of her other missions.
The ride was swift and uneventful, which caused her to pull out her tablet and began to read the packet of information. After some time, the plane started to land in the airport of Kanto, which also was close to Pallet town. Retrieving her bag from the overhead compartment, Sarah walked gracefully off of the plane. It did not take her long to reach the front of the Pokemon Research Center, though it did look like it was still undergoing some renovations because of the break in. Walking in, she was greeted by the bustle of activity as workers were taking their time to set everything back to how it was. Closing the parasol, Sarah was greeted by the regional Professors of the region. Professor Oak and Professor Gladiolus who were quietly talking to one another.
"Hello young trainer, we are glad to welcome you to the region. My name is Professor Oak, and this is my collogue, Professor Gladiolus. I am sure you are wondering what happened to the lab, well we had some trouble with a break in. Though that won't change the fact that you will be given a pokemon today. If you would follow Professor Gladiolus, she will take you to the back to choose you new partner." Professor Gladiolus was on the younger side and looked to be around the age of 25. Her hair was pulled back with small braids going into a ponytail, it fades from a soft pink to a brighter pink at the ends. She is wearing a grey pantsuit with a white tucked in shirt. The woman was taller than Professor Oak even without her heels.
Sarah followed the young Professor into the back where the pokemon were kept. In a small area there was a lot of different pokemon set out for the new trainers. "After years of young trainers coming to get pokemon and someone always running out of them, I had finally convinced Oak to allow me to stock up on more pokemon instead of the three he normally kept. Is there one that you would like?" Professor Gladiolus' voice was soft and kind sounding. Sarah took the time to look at the different pokemon gathering and playing. She walked slowly around and knelt next to a green pokemon. She was sitting gracefully on the grass and ate an oran berry. The small Snivy looked up to Sarah with a curious expression. Within a moment, the female starter climbed to her feet and went to Sarah.
"You are a regal and powerful looking young lady. How would you like to come with me on my journey Snivy?" The pokemon looked at Sarah for a moment, and then nodded. She then climbed up the shoulder and settled down to enjoy the ride back into the young professor. "I think I will name you Lady as you are a perfect lady." Sarah was happy to see the expression of her new pokemon was happy at the new name.
"If you follow me, I will lead you where we keep the pokedex upgrades and equipment that you will be given to start your journey with." Professor Gladiolus spoke as she walked the new trainer back into the building and into the room where Professor Oak was setting up bundles of different colored boxes. "Welcome back it is good to see you have chosen a good pokemon in Snivy there. If you will come up to the table, I will explain what is in the boxes." Opening up the nearest box, Professor Oak started to pull out items. "This is a chip to install into your phone it gives you a few different apps for you to use. One will allow you to record any and all pokemon that you will encounter in this region, another is a town map that will show you an updated regional map with one for each town as well. I will let you explore that more later. Here we also have some different types of pokeballs, there will be a list of them in your box." Oak pulled out what looked like a pill shaped container, which was almost as big as a jigglypuff. "This is a portable berry garden. It is for storing berries as well as growing new ones when need." The last item that was pulled out was an incubator. "This last item will help you hatch any pokemon egg safely while out in the world."
Sarah ended up picking the purple box as it was one of her favorite colors. She carefully packed the box in her bag, and walked out of the lab, and towards route 1. She wanted to watch for any pokemon that would be nearby the grass and other places. "Well, are you ready to take your first step as a trainer pokemon Lady?" The small grass type nodded and together the two walked onto the route smiling as they took their first steps as partners.
