Welcome to Gaia! ::

To say that Seth was looking forward to meeting with Lucere, would be lying. However, it wasn't unexpected and the summons was something that Seth had to obey. However, the elite was exhausted, not to mention filthy. His uniform was ripped and dirty, while his face and hands was streaked with ash and hair matted down with sweat. Not to mention he smelled like sulfur and... more sweat. It wasn't at all pleasant. The only clean part of him was where his wound on his back had been treated just before getting the call from the boss.

Unhappy but silent, Seth stepped into the elevator and allowed the car to take him to the top floor where Lucere's office was located.

Despite his calm and tough front, Seth wanted nothing more than to clean himself up and go to bed. Needless to say, it had been a long day. But first things first. And there was that name. He almost hated hearing it.

"Sir," Seth replied and gave his superior a salute, not quite being able to completely hide the fatigue in his voice. He then seated himself.

"Yes, sir," Seth said as Lucere asked for an explanation, before going into the story behind the unexpected results of the raid.

"Unfortunately, agent Kunai and I were separated from the group early on due to an earthquake, and I wasn't able to witness the entire situation. However, from what I do know, the group found the egg inside the volcano. The Ho-oh appeared after they attempted to secure the egg and engaged in battle with it. I arrived after they had weakened the bird. One agent attempted to capture it, but failed. However, before I was able to throw the Master Ball, Team Galactic arrived and captured the Ho-oh. Despite our best efforts, we were unable to retrieve it, sir."

Seth's brows furrowed slightly, a sign of the boiling anger he felt towards the team that had dropped in on them and stole their legendary right out from under them.

"Indeed. Their leader, Deimos, and some of his lackeys arrived in a ship shaped like a.. Ninjask." It had been a rather moronic display, really. And the fact that a caped buffoon had stolen their Ho-oh, made it all the more infuriating. "They netted the Ho-oh and fought us off. But we were able to secure some feathers, and the egg, as you already know." And then there was a detail, that Seth suddenly remembered. "And he seems to know who you are, sir." After all.. Deimos had mentioned not seeing a blue haired one among them.

Understandably. Despite whether or not the anger was directed at Seth, it was not surprising that Lucere wasn't exactly pleased about the news that he was bringing him. None of the Rockets who had been on the raid were happy either.

The elite sighed before affirming his leader's words. "Yes, sir."

The elite raised a brow as he watched Lucere pace from his desk to the window and back. Everything eh? Well... Seth would tell him everything he knew and observed at least.

"From all appearances... he seems to be a moron." But admitting to be defeated by a moron didn't exactly make them look good either. Thus, Seth didn't leave it at that.

"Either that's a facade, or he relies on his two agents to do everything for him. Orion and Tethys were their names." Naturally Orion stuck out to him the most, the damn punk. "I only saw two of his Pokemon. A Gliscor and a Shaymin. Some of our agents recognized him from the last raid. Apparently his Shaymin was the cause of the explosion."

"That's exactly what I'm saying, sir." Seth replied in all seriousness. How they managed to pull this off though, remained a mystery. He then scowled. "I'll be frank. Clearly they are getting information from somewhere. There was also that attack a few months ago. Between the mole and the leaks that are getting to Galactic, I am concerned about the future success of our missions and welfare of our agents."
