A group of toads were not-so-stealthily surrounding a sushi shop in the middle of rainbow square. Normally this sort of gathering might attract more attention, but there was no question as to why they were there. Their officer uniforms identified them as the police, and they were there making a raid on a fraudulent business. It probably wasn't something often seen. Seedy businesses weren't very high on the toad's priorities. However, this particular shop had involved itself in a bit more than simple fraud.

...Blue casually moved her way to the front of the restaurant in her little black dress. She looked her best, even when things were about to go down. One could only imagine how important her looks were to her if she bothered to put in the time right before a raid. Then again, she did have a habit of using those looks to her advantage. The sushi shop was housing a few customers, and by the looks of it they were actually eating food. The police report couldn't have been wrong, ...could it have? The girls, plus a stranger to their cause, knew their jobs.

"This job seems pretty straight forward, by the looks of it~"

Yellow walked alongside Randy as she kept him close. She wanted to help him stand up to his fears... And as against fighting Pokemon as she was, she wanted him to not fear Rocket. The solution was showing him they can stand up to them. She still had Chuchu and Gravvy in case Randy wanted to hide. He seemed to be working up some form of confidence however... As weak as it currently is.

Yellow might not even of tried this infiltration normally... But Rocket has been stealing Pokemon for their own cause... And she wondered if they found her Pokemon before her. She had to find them if her friends were here. Her friends were definitely worth the risk involved... They were all given to her by close people and she could not leave it to chance they weren't here.

She approached the Sushi Shop and noticed Blue. It seemed she came here to ruin Rocket's plans too. Yellow felt a bit more confident with her being there and some of that confidence leaked into her bond with Randy as she followed. Yellow looked around at the seemingly normal Sushi Shop. They had to be here somewhere. She did not want it to be wrong if her friends really were in Rocket's possesion.

"Hi Blue! Glad to see you are here too," Yellow greeted while Randy just kept his distance a bit. Blue was pretty scary when it came to Yellow.

A storm was basically brewing as a turbine tail generated stormcloud could be seen by onlookers who were curious as to whether there would be rain caused by a kyogre's drizzle ability, though sadly it wasn't the case as a small blue electric sphere decended from the black cloud and disipated to reveal the warlord of dragnor himself, Oda Nobunaga.

The generated stormcloud dissipated as well to reveal the source of said cloud as Zekrom, the deep black pokemon of unova and a legendary pokemon to boot as it dropped down and landed gently as the people decided to back away. It was a good thing too as they knew not to underestimate this one pokemon, but even after they went back to their business they knew that this one man with two girls was possibly a oddball match made in heaven.

"So, this is the place Zekrom?" Nobunaga said as he walked towards the young trainer, sizing her skills up so as to learn who she was. "Indeed it is, shall I send word to the other two dragons so they may come here?" Zekrom replied telepathically, asking if it was alright to call the other dragon pokemon in Nobunaga's team. "not right now, too many onlookers present. If I gave the order for the black basilisk and three headed hydra to storm the area, the civilians would collectively piss their pants, it would be best to keep them in reserve as backup for now." Nobunaga responded, taking into account that it wouldn't be wise to unleash the full might of a pseudo-legendary and two legendary pokemon on an unsuspecting villainous group until safety was assured.

"I feel an introduction might be in order, I am Nobunaga; and it is a pleasure to meet such a young person who befriends pokemon." Nobunaga said in a calm tone, holding out a hand go blue to shake.

[Mari]

Blue turned her gaze upon Yellow as she approached, smiling brightly at the other. However, she was rather surprised to find a tall ... armored man approaching her. Blue had a deceptively 'endearing' appearance. Natural beauty combined with well-maintained hair, subtle application of makeup and some pretty jewlery made for a strikingly pretty young lady who could fit in in even the most high class of clubs. Nothing about her appearance suggested she was the hard working type, least of all her hands.

When she turned to accept Nobunaga's handshake her hands were soft like silk, lacking any of the calluses one might expect from someone who had done any heavy work in their life. Yet, perhaps more shocking was that Blue was thinking the same thing about Nobunaga's hands. She hadn't been expecting a grip quite this ... weak! The surprise showed on her face, but she declined to comment on it, instead reaching out to wrap an arm around Yellow's shoulder and pull her into a side hug.

"The pleasure is mine~" Blue replied in a rather sugary sweet tone, grinning mischievously at Nobunaga. "My name is Blue, and this is my favorite Pokemon Yellow~" she went on to remark, claiming ownership of her no doubt slightly bewildered companion on the spot. She seemed to be teasing Yellow, judging by the tone of her voice.
"You're here for the mission, right? You'll be working with Jiggly, Blasty and Skitty today." Blue explained, revealing the rather childish nicknames for her pokemon.

[Coolshaymin]

Yellow turned around as she heard a man's voice... What was that Pokemon behind him all about? She has never seen anything like it before with it's large size... Seemed weird to bring indoors given how large it was. She kind of wanted to read it's mind and memories out of curiosity... But she resisted the urge since there was no reason to and she did not think it was a good idea after the last dragon she read the mind of... That was an experience she rather not encounter again and she did not know the nature of this large black one.

The man did not seem to take notice of her though as he offered his hand to Blue. Amarillo did not really feel very offended but still he almost acted like she was not there for a second. Still, there was something about Blue's expression that made the young girl wonder what she was thinking about. She looked surprised by shaking the man's hand for some reason Yellow was unaware of. Randy was watching the shake too but was more interested in the fact Blue was surprised by something in the man. The girl felt a lot scarier than the warlord but he had something that surprised her... Was he actually really strong?! He had to be impressive to shock a girl.

The younger and shorter girl was not expecting Blue's next course of action however. The sudden side hug pulled into Blue's grasp which she squirmed in for a second. It was mostly out of surprise and she did not really put much effort into escaping the grip of the hug. She also soon quit after the intial reaction and just embraced the position.

"P-Pokemon?" Yellow questioned at Blue's introduction of her. Her face turned a bit red in response to the apparent claim of ownership. Blue kind of had a talent at flustering Yellow with her choice of words though it was most likely intentional. The idea of being called favorite was appealing even if it was just teasing. Randy watched the girls as they hugged and Yellow was teased... The fact Yellow was suspectible too was kind of relieving... Though it was an odd kind of bonding girls had...

"I-I brought Chuchu and Gravvy. Over there is Randy," Yellow stated, having about as equally childish names for her Pokemon as Blue. Notably she did not deny being Blue's Pokemon even after recovering a little. She was still a bit flustered but she has grown a bit more used to the position she was in at the moment. Being this close to Blue was oddly comforting despite the dangerous task.

"... Not to interrupt anything... But shouldn't we get to work?" Randy spoke up. The way Yellow and Blue were acting was a bit uncomfortable for him...

[Maverick Hunter Zero]

"I oppologise if my handshake was weak, which is a flaw I keep forgetting to correct. This is Zekrom, one of my three dragons, and yes he is able to understand human language since he communicates via telepathy." Nobunaga said as he looked at yellow, a smile giving away his rather stoic demeanour. "Don't worry, I'm not going to be fighting at my full power since it has to be utilized fairly. But I do not mind communicating with telepathy to let you know that he has a black Rayquaza and Hydreigon in reserve as backup." Zekrom said telepathically to both blue and yellow, stating his intention of helping his boss and master with this mission as Nobunaga began looking for anyone suspicious to keep his eyes on, his hand on the hilt of a sword that was in its scabbard and not being used unless someone is intent on attempting to take what was not rightfully theirs pokemon wise.

Blue hesitated a moment. Why was there a voice in her head? Why was there a voice in her head? ...She didn't understand a word the voice was saying either, so she decidedly paid none of it any mind. Blue released Yellow from her side hug and began reading her smashdar. "Huh... Well, I guess we should head inside." Blue replied casually, moving to lead the way into the restaurant.

Entering the restaurant, Blue strolled her way up to the sushi counter to address the chef at hand. Like many restaurants in the apocolypse, it was rather understaffed. It seemed like a single person restaurant, somehow. This raised the question of whether there were actually any rockets here, or if it was just this one man. He smiled nervously at Blue as she approached, the young lady putting her charms to work by meandering up to the counter and leaning over it, planting her arms before her and flashing a sugary sweet smile.

"What kind of operation do you got goin' on here, handsome~?" Blue cooed rather tauntingly.

The chef seemed unnerved by Blue's advances. One could see him squirm where he stood, apparently feeling the pressure. He promptly served Blue a plate. "Sushi?" he replied, and to no one's surprise Blue looked down to find exactly that on the offered plate. She was no stranger to receiving free anything at restaurants; her presence was enough to boost business on it's own. However, it didn't seem to be a very appropriate reaction given the context of their visit.

...Or was it?1d20+5

[Coolshaymin]

Yellow was confused for a moment as a voice entered her head... Usually she was the one that forced Pokemon's minds into her's so that was a bit awkward. She probably understood it a bit better than Blue did given how reading the minds of Pokemon is her specialty... But this backwards way was confusing her senses. She could not fully make it out but she deciphered a portion... Was it natural for Pokemon to be capable of doing that?

Before Yellow could actually begin to question Pokemon projecting their thoughts of their own accord, she was distracted by the loss of embrace. The embrace was making her feel so comfortable she half did not want it to end so soon... But they did have Pokemon to save from Rocket... She will have to hold off on her desire of affection from Blue for now then. Randy did have a fair point after all.

Yellow nodded cheerfully to Blue which it being Blue probably helped given the situation. She grabbed her Fishing Rod and followed her friend into the Sushi Joint... Which looked pretty normal for being understaffed admittedly... But Rocket was probably good at hiding their operations. It was probably around here somewhere.

"Hey, Randy, could you sniff around while I go with Blue?" Yellow requested in a whisper so the staff did not overhear. Randy hesitated for a moment before nodding. He raised his nose to the air and began to do some sniffing to the check the area.

Yellow meanwhile followed Blue to the counter. Amarillo had to remind herself not to react to Blue's flirting to the chef. She knew she was only trying to get information out of the guy. Flirting was kind of her style afterall... Wait... Did that mean she said those things to her just to say them?... The girl distracted herself from those doubts by looking at the Sushi the chef handed over to Blue.

Nobunaga walked right on in, Zekrom swapped for the big bad Hydreigon, which looked almost menacing in its own right, though it no less wanted to harm anyone unless they were in the stadium with the intention of fighting the warlord.

"Sushi, eh? I may as well take some to nibble on, and some ponigiri for my pokemon." Nobunaga said as he placed an order, giving the chef a look that made said chef look like he was being x-rayed.
Nobunaga CHA ROLL: 14+5=19{intimidating, isn't it?}

[Mari]

Randy was... having a tough time finding anything noteworthy, other than the tasty smell of sushi. It seemed to be overpowering his ability to smell anything else in the area. Meanwhile, the sushi chef just sort of froze up when Nobunaga asked him for some Sushi. His words said he wanted sushi, but his eyes said he wanted something else entirely. The chef's expression twisted into one of great distress and disturbance as he glanced between the girl and girly man man staring him down. He seemed like he was cracking under the pressure, judging by the way his composure completely vanished.

"...A-Am I being robbed?" the chef finally asked, drawing a blank from Blue. The girl gave Nobunaga a funny look in response to the chef's question before turning her attention back on the chef. "...No. We're looking for something--but it's not your money." Blue explained, daintily dragging one of her nails across the counter in an intimidatingly lax manner. "We're looking for some Rockets. You wouldn't happen to know anything about that, would you?" Blue went on to ask.

"What..? Why would I?" the chef asked, avoiding anyone's gaze.

[Coolshaymin]

The smell of sushi was too strong for Randy to reliably sniff anything out. He just kept getting sidetracked by all the food around. Looked like it was up to Yellow and the others to find anything out... Which this man seemed to not be helping much. Either he did not know anything or he was trying really hard to hide it.

Yellow had an idea and brought out her drawing notebook for a moment. She seemed to be focused on drawing for a moment before pulling up and presenting a rather adorable picture of her, Nobunaga, Blue, Zekrom and Randy. It was kind of a quick sketch but it still looked cute in it's style. "Don't worry, we don't want to cause trouble. You can have this picture if you tell us anything that might help us find them. Anything you know would help," Yellow said as she held her drawing out. Either she was trying to get his attention or trying to pull a Blue... It was hard to tell.

Nobunaga simply looked at the chef, his eyes not blinking as though he were in a staring contest that was being won based on determination and three people. "that is a nice sketch, maybe I should try to get back into my calligraphy work sometime." Nobunaga said calmly without taking his eyes off the chef, hoping to get him into spilling the beans on where this criminal organization was hiding.

{short post in before the week gets done.}

[Mari]

The chef hesitantly took Yellow's drawing, looking entirely bemused. After a long moment of looking back and forth betwixt the girl and her drawing, his gaze settled upon Yellow. "...I'm not with Team Rocket, you know?" he replied, shifting his eyes back and forth in a flighty manner. Blue, decidedly not willing to allow the chef to be a distraction any longer, interjected. "You probably shouldn't be harboring them if you're not with them, then." Blue snapped, preying upon the chef's anxiety.

"Okay, okay! ...I know where they are. They're operating out of the basement." the chef would finally admit, gesturing along the wall to what appeared to be ... an inconspicuous poster. "They will ruin me if they find out! It's a lot harder to run a sushi business during the apocalypse than you think, yeah?" the chef went on to blurt out in protest of being interrogated. "They're going to figure out no matter what we do. Maybe you'd be safer with the police. Right now we have to deal with your little infestation, though. Is there some kind of switch to operate the door?" Blue remarked and in response, raising a brow. On cue, the chef reached down and pressed a switch.

"...They probably know you're coming..." he warned quietly, considering the prospects for his future. On cue, the poster pulled back to reveal a secret doorway leading down into the depths of the presumed rocket base!1d20+5

[Coolshaymin]

Yellow gave a confused look towards Nobunaga for a moment. Calligraphy? As in that fancy handwriting thing? That seemed like an odd thing to get back into after observing her drawing. That did not matter much though as the chef looked back at them now after her drawing. He confessed he was not part of Rocket which was good... But Yellow was still not confident that was all it as she gave a questioning stare at him.

Fortunately she opened an area for Blue to attack quite effectively. So the Rockets really were hanging out here. Yellow was unsure about actually handling another base of Rockets... but she had to remain strong in case they really were here. Yellow put away her drawing noteback and walked towards the door with Randy. They had to take down Rocket in case some of her missing friends were here.

[Maverick Hunter Zero]

Nobunaga simply shrugged, his Zekrom back out for the effort it was going to be using in its attacks, luckily team rocket only hid here, and if this was one of their bases, then this would be complicated as all hell.

"I guess we should be prepared for anything in case those common rocket goons try to derail our efforts." Nobunaga said in a calm tone, his mind resolute in ensuring the job get done, he had the distinct advantage of not being openly known to team rocket, especially since he came from a region known for its warlords and history.
