And so, quick enough, she raced out of the building and into the Cypress Forest. According to her information, from the north west side of the forest, she would reach Elemi Lake well before making it into the town to the south.
After about an hours walk, the brown-haired rocket eventually made it through to the large clearing, where the sun all but blinded her eyes. After a second, she was able to see and her breath was caught. Before her was a shimmering lake, with Pidgey flying around the surface and between the trees. Aside from that, the grass around the lake ranged from short and trim, to tall and dangerous. For some reason, Nadali had a feeling that in the grass was even more Pokemon, some that she probably had never seen before.
With that, she took out her Pokeball and threw it in front of her, a flash of red appearing before the black and lavender pichu that was her partner appeared. Yawning, the Pokemon looked around in question before turning back toward Nadali, where the girl smirked.
"I think we should train right now, Senka, and just enjoy the weather. It's such a nice day, I don't see why we can't have some fun before we do our research for Team Rocket..."

Mariel had been at the lake for some time now under the pretense of cataloging what types visited the most often and at what time of day they came. It was boring and tedious work but she did it. She was of the lowest rank in the organization and so knew that she would have to put up with meaningless work for a while yet before she got to do anything fun or even remotely exciting.
Beside her sat Grant her yellow Pikachu. He was just as bored as she was but being a pokemon he had a little more freedom so he began to wander around and pounce on bending grass blades. He hated the tedious work as much as Mariel, he knew he could handle bigger and better things! But alas here he was stuck protecting his trainer from a nonexistent threat.
Mariel looked up when she heard someone in the clearing, she had been here for so long that she had grown acustomed to the natural sounds so when she heard footsteps in the grass she knew someone was there. She turned and saw another rocket with a strangely colored pikachu. "Hey look at that Grant" She motioned at the new trainer so he would know where to turn.
Grant had been facing the opposite direction with all of his attention focused on a particular blade of grass he was about to tackle when Mariel got his attention. he looked in the direction indicated and perked up his ears. There was other people! YES Maybe they were here to let them go to lunch? OR maybe they would play! Grant was always up for a game, mostly because Mariel trained him by using games so she could be more hands on in his training. Whatever the reason these people were here he was excited.
Mariel debated on getting up from where she sat but in the end decided against it. She wanted to see how long it would take the other girl to notice her, just as an experiment. But she let Grant run around as he pleased in case he got too impatient to meet a new friend.

Stretching her arms wide around before pulling them high above her head, Nadali leaned back a bit before she felt the light pop. After that, she looked up once more before realizing another fact. She was informed she was meant to meet up with another Rocket, and to assist with the work that the girl had already accomplished. Looking around, she couldn't see anything appearing like another person, and she so shrugged once more.
"Alright Senka, let's work on your attacks...doesn't hurt right?" She laughed at the glare received from her pichu, as if the creature was saying that she didn't need any practice.
"I know baby...how about you humor me with a...charm attack!" Waiting a moment, Nadali watched as Senka stood before fluffing up her fur. The pokemon than did a spin before settling on her haunches and blinking with her deep black eyes. Tilting her head, her ears perked a moment, and Nadali couldn't help but coo.
"Perfect!"

Mariel could see the other rocket and half smiled when she realised she couldn't be seen. It was mostly because of the tallish grass she was in. She had picked a good spot, hidden enough that she wouldn't bother the pokemon but not so hidden that she couldn't see around her. She smiled and relaxed a bit until suddenly an idea struck her. "Hey Grant come here." She called her pikachu over and when he was within whispering distance she told him the plan.
Grant perked his ears up at mariels plan it sounded like fun! He was after all itching to go and do something new. She began to make his way towards the other rocket and the strangely colored pichu doing his best to stay hidden and getting as close as possible. He happened to come by when they were practicing charm attacks and he half snorted half laughed at the little thing. Of course pichu's had to be cute but it always amused him to see them do it. He watched them for a second then began to walk through the grass near them with his tail held high and clearly visible above him. He was curious to see if they would think he was a wild pokemon. He did look healthy and robust except for the few extra pounds he had put on in his days of inactivity. But those were not important right now, only the game was and he was playing to win.

Which was quite humorous, and to her advantage, when she was at sea.
Suddenly, Senka froze and turned, dark eyes glaring at the grasses, ears flashing up high. Nadali, trusting her partner, silenced herself and bent her knees a bit. When Grant came out of the bushes, Pichu sparked a moment, but Nadali stood straight up.
"Wow...look at that Senka...a future you...without your unique coloring..." She laughed a second, smirking slightly before pushing her bangs out of her eyes, "I'll bet the base would be proud if we caught him...eh Senny?"
She touched the balls around her belt, as Senka jumped in front of her partner and master. Both took on a serious face, Senka bending on all four with her tail high and balanced.

Mariel watched patiently from the grass, a small smile playing on her lips. She could see where this was going and she laughed softly to herself. She really had nothing to fear from pokeballs since Grant was already hers and he was most likely a lot more powerful than the pichu if not faster. If this did happen to end in a fight she trusted Grant to win. but she knew it wouldnt Grant was having too much fun and of course he was oblivious to anything that she could see. Oh how she loved her pikachu even if he could be a little thick headed sometimes.
Grant was extremely happy to get such a reaction from the trainer and her pichu. Of course he would make an entrance he was just that cool (in his mind at least). But now was no time to be suave he had to remember he was playing a game and like all games he REALLY wanted to win. Of course he had no idea that the trainer and her pichu were unaware of his game. But that was trivial to him.
Grant crouched low to the ground and smiled like a racecar driver about to hit the accelerator. oh yeah he was ready. He waited untill the trainer started going for the balls at her belt, almost time just a little closer.....The second that her hand touched the first ball Grant exploded from where he was standing. He was a fast pikachu naturally because of his love of play but of course since he was playing he had the extra boost of his Agility in play. He ran around the trainer and ran past the pichu on his way back into the grass. As he ran past the pichu he tagged her and bounced into the grass making happy squeaking noises and heading straight back to Mariel. That Pichu would never tag him back this game was EASY!! He speed like a little yellow bullet back to his trainer with the biggest smile on his face.

She would have to be smarter, and would have to be safer with all her moves and actions.
However, as soon as the first move was made, she knew she wouldn't have a chance. It was agility, something she hadn't learned, and she couldn't keep up. The pikachu was a golden blur, racing around before he brushed against her pelt. Letting out a shock in surprise, which of course would not faze the other electric pokemon, she reeled back toward Nadali. Than, he was gone, leaving both girls stunned and unsure what to do.
"Uh...well...uhm..." Stupefied, Nadali took another moment to collect herself before she grew serious, "Senka, we need to train harder...and the first thing you need to do is hunt down that Pikachu..." nodding, Nadali was embarrassed for herself and her pokemon.
"Of course, while you may not have speed, you still have your sense of smell, and I know you can do it...so lets make a game of it...alright?"
Senka, just as determined as her master and friend, seemed to nod as she slowly ventured toward the grass where Grant had disappeared.

Grant had gradualy decreased speed as he got closer to mariel and eventually he came strutting out of the grass towards her. His ears erect, tail held high, he looked as if he had just won first prize at a pokemon show. But of course he was indeed quite full of himself and at the moment fully convinced that he had won this game of tag in only one try! He strutted over to where mariel sat indian style in the grass and leapt into her lap demanding a good petting and belly rub as his prize.
Mariel giggled as she watched Grant come back to her and settle in her lap. She knew what he wanted and she was glad to give it. He was always so easy to please that it kept things easy on her. She began to rub his belly and scratch his ears untill his eyes closed and he began to doze off. She looked up again to see if she could find the trainer and the pichu and began to notice them coming this way. She smiled, they would prabably find her soon, then at least they could all be introduced and maybe she could have someone to talk to on this lonely assignment. She wondered what the pichu would think of the lazy pikachu in her lap. It must be a sight to see a pikachu at top speed then find it half asleep in its trainers arms haha if only they knew exactly how lazy grant was! She scratched him affectionately and waited for the trainer to catch sight of her. Maybe it would do this little proud pikachu some good to have others see him in his lazy state. She thought silently to herself as she smiled and waited.

Senka sniffed around the grass, though she didn't really need it since the bigger pokemon's path was still fresh. The grass bent where his paws had landed, leaving her an easy way to get through. Nadali, on the other hand, just walked slowly through the grass, looking down instead of looking ahead of the path. Had she done that, she might have seen Mariel sitting ahead.
Senka finally reached the other side of the grass, stopping suddenly to look at both the human and the apparently wild pokemon. A few steps behind came Nadali, who let out a sound of surprise and than a soft laugh.
"...This...doesn't make sense much sense anymore..." Laughing a bit more, she held out her hand to a wary Senka, waiting for the pichu to jump to her shoulder before deciding what to say next.
"Erm...hello!"

Mariel smiled and patted the ground next to her " I would get up to greet you properly but my Grant here seems to have gotten heavier and lazier." mariel patted and scratched Grant before he jumped out of her lap with angry sparks coming out of his cheeks. mariel smiled and stood up slowly "Well it seems he decided my lap wasnt worth it. I'm mariel, and this is Grant, sorry if he troubled you earlier, he seems to love tag like games a little too much." Mariel smiled affectionately as Grant stared up at her still angry about her fat comment. Mariel looked this girl up and down as was her habit, she didnt mean to look intimidating, but some people percieved her that way, she was just observant. "My what a strangely colored pichu you have there." mariel raised an eye brow as she saw the black and purple beast, it was quite cute but strange none the less.
Grant could NOT BELIEVE that mariel had called him fat and lazy! He was not LAZY! He just liked a good rest now and again. He completely ignored the fact that these two might have seen him laze about and started sniffing around the new girls shoes. The pichu was up on her shoulders so it was out of reach for another tag. Grants Tail stayed stiff as he assesed the situation. he could care less about what the people were saying, if it was important mariel would make him listen. He stood up and tried to get a good look at the pichu on the trainers shoulders. How to tag her again....

Eying them both with surprise, she realized that the pikachu was sniffing her feet, and gently lifted her shoes to try and not step on him. While her gloves may have been anti-shock, she had a feeling her shoes may be missing that happy perk. Once she decided she was safe enough away from stepping on the creature, she nodded and looked Mariel over as well.
"I'm Nadali, and this is Senka...I was surprised to see your pikachu, but I guess it makes sense that he has an owner..." She looked at the slightly overweight pikachu, the weight showing that he was well cared for, and was surprised she missed it in the first place. Scratching her head, she moved to pat Senka, who seemed to be glaring down at her evolution below.
"..and please...ignore Senka...she doesn't take well to strangers."
