"No! We are not going after him," Lanie said irritably to Hoover, her Houndoom that stood by her side on the sandy coast on the outskirts of Fuschia. They had narrowly made it safely from the Seafoam Islands, and it was only because of that guy Rai. Who the hell was he, anyway? He acted like he had known her for her entire life. She didn't understand it, and in any other instance she wouldn't have cared, but there was something about him that stood out. He mentioned Vergil. How the hell could he have known his name too, talked like he knew them both? She hated not understanding. Hoover snorted at her and pushed at her hand with the top of his head. "Stop," she complained, though she knew the pokemon was right. He was often right. While the Houndoom had been her closest friend for as long as she could remember, it still baffled her how he could be so perceptive.
Lanie sighed quietly through her nose as she dug through her memories in her head. There had to be somewhere she had seen him, somewhere...no. Impossible. How? It couldn't be that Rai. That Rai didn't even know Vergil, only her. She met Vergil long after Rai had... "... That's impossible. It's not him," she muttered.
Still, it left the question. Why?
Why would he risk himself for her? Anyone else would have tried to save themselves. But he didn't! She couldn't wrap her head around it. Hoover snorted down again at her and barked. She frowned down at the pokemon before sighing. "... Fine. Fine! Arceus this is not going to be easy," she complained to herself as she went into Fuschia to get some things she needed. Sneaking around was a bit of a task, but she ended up getting what was desired before heading out to the beach once more. She considered flying, but that would be far too obvious if they were still looking for her. Instead she decided to take the sea route. Midas, her Milotic, was exchanged for Hoover, and together they made their way to the very same place she was trying to avoid: Cinnabar. "I can't believe I'm doing this," she complained one last time.
Once they hit land, Midas was immediately returned. "Hopefully this place hasn't changed much. Gerald." The Gengar let himself out of his pokeball and grinned at his trainer. Lanie reached up and gave him an affectionate rub behind one of his ears. "Let's have a little fun with these jackasses," she said with the smallest smirk. The ghoul grinned and chuckled quietly as he spun around a bit before fading out of sight. "And let's go get Rai." If there was one thing she was thankful for from being a Rocket, it was that she was trained well in what she did. She knew how to move without being seen, and tonight was one of those times it came quite in handy. As she eavesdropped on various conversations, there was one that caught her interest. From the sound of it, they were talking about Rai, and she knew where exactly to find him.
