Teivel was definitely not lost. Team Rocket members did not get lost. They always knew exactly where they were, without fail. They were like walking GPS systems. He was just momentarily confused, that was all. Truth be told, the grunt didn't have the slightest clue where he was. He had started out on the path into the wilderness, and had intended to stay on that path. His plans had been rather rudely interrupted when Sarka, his Eevee, had suddenly darted off into the bushes. Whatever she'd been after, Teivel hadn't the slightest clue, but the fact remained that now they were both lost. To make matters worse, he'd also lost his Eevee. A Team Rocket member to be idolized, that was for sure.
"Sarkaaa!" Teivel cupped his hands around his mouth as he called for his Eevee, hoping the creature was loyal enough to come when it was called. Wild Pokemon or not, weren't they supposed to like their trainers? It was the Eevee who had decided to stick with him, not the other way around. Where they heck had she gone anyways?
Sarka, on the other hand, was busy eating berries off a nearby bush. Her trainer could wait. There was food!

If Tobias could have counted with his fingers how many people had lost their ugly-good for nothing pokemon out here in the middle of no where, he would need more hands and feet. So when the princessian call came loping over the cliffs and mountains (or rather through the bush), all he could do was roll his eyes in desperation.
Seconds later, the ugliest, fattest, most uncute pokemon he'd ever lain eyes on stumbled into view. Tobias was shocked it was eating beries, completely. Clicking his teeth together, he shifted his postion on a 'remote' cliff edge, which happened to be positioned ten feet off the ground, and only a few feet in diameter.
Never the less, it had been a prime spot to eat lunch. Wrappers and clothes lay scattered everywhere - results of a battle for the release of his pokedex.
"Eevee," the thing chanted, and gave him a bio to match a professors. Nevermind that, the thing was as annoying as hell. He just wanted to know if it was dangerous, which is wasn't.
Grinning, he slid off his rock and onto the forest loam, rice cake clutched in hand. "Hey little fella," he cooed at it, thrusting the bit of food towards its direction.

Sarka's ears perked when the Pokedex did a very poor imitation of her voice, turning her head to look at Tobias. A trainer? She didn't have to worry about them anymore. She already claimed one of those as her own. Still, this one was a bit odd. It was hairless, like the rest of its kind, save for the strange collection of fur on its head. Judging by the clothing, the human appeared to be male. Huh. Well, since he wasn't throwing balls at her, she supposed he was okay. The only really important thing was, did he have food?
Her question was answered when a hand bearing some sort of circular object was thrust in her direction. Was it food? Sarka slunk slowly forward until the rice cake was in reach. The Eevee gave it an experimental lick, before deciding it was edible and munching happily on it. Now this was much better! You could only survive on canned spam for so long. Her trainer really needed to get better food.
Rice cake finished, Sarka looked expectantly up at Tobias. More food please? Me love you long time!

Tobias clecnhed his teeth and grimaced heavily as the thing came sniffing around his rice cake. But never the less, he had to make money somehow, and lost pokemon were the perfect way to do it. Save catching real ones and selling them, of course, but who would want to do that.
Disgusting.
Pulling out another object from his pocket he distracted the eevee best he could before scooping it up with his other arm.
Now where the hell was the things trainer so he could return it?

Oooh shiny! Sarka was quite distracted by the wrapper that Tobias pulled from his pocket, oogling at it even as she was scooped up. Shiny shiny shiiiiny! Why couldn't her silly boy have shiny stuff like this? It was so awesome!
As if on cue, Teivel's voice rang out again through the forest, sounding quite irritated that he couldn't find his Eevee. Sarka's ears perked at the sound of her name, only just realizing that she was being called. Oops. Maybe she shouldn't have run so fast for the berries. Now she'd lost her boy! "EEEEEVEEEEEE!" She howled back, oblivious to the fact she was yelling practically in Tobias's ear. Oh well.

Tobias' eyes grew wide in pain and he almost squished the ball of fluff in desperation to make it shut up. Luckily, one half of his brain still work, and he kept himself from committing any sort of brutal murder. One ear was enough of a death toll for the day. He did however, let himself give a series of curses to his captive.
"Damn things," he grumbled under his breath, but set off in the direction of the sound. If that wasn't the pokemon's trainer, he didn't know what was.
Several cuts, bruises, and valliant battles with trees later, Tobias emerged at the 'path' another was following. Glaring the hat down in front of him, he let his worst insult fly.
"Lose something?"

Sarka ignored Tobias's cursing, quite pleased that she was getting a ride from him. Free rides were so awesome, especially when they were in the direction of her boy. Yay strange trainer! There needed to be more trainers like this, willing to give rides to innocent Pokemon. She would reward him by hanging like a deadweight in his arms. Now this was the life.
Teivel's irritation might have very well rivaled Tobias's. The Rocket Grunt was grumbling under his breath as he kicked stones, still trying to locate his Eevee. Maybe Sarka had found a better trainer. He knew she was getting bored of the spam, but seriously, who ditched their trainer because the food was crap? It wasn't his fault Rocket Grunts got the crappy rations! Jeeze. He was inches away from throwing a temper tantrum when the bushes rustled and Tobias appeared. With his Eevee.
"Of course not!" Teivel replied, turning up his nose at the very thought. "She lost me. I don't lose anything."
"Eeevee <3" Was Sarka's only response as she waved a brown paw in his direction.

Tobias frowned, looking at the pokemon and back again. He knew nothing about pokemon, but it didn't look like it was a very lost or worried eevee to him.
There were many things wrong with this situation.
1. The trainer was a snot
2. The eevee seemed to like him
3. His arm was never going to be useful again
"Well, someone got lost, and people don't get returned for free," Tobias shot back, his eyebrow twitching from lack of composure. He was so dumping that girl and heading home - right after he got his money from this sap.

Well of course Sarka wasn't worried. She knew she'd eventually find her boy (though before or after a temper tantrum was debatable). It wasn’t like he had to worry about being snatched up by unsuspected men and carried off to be sold. Okay maybe he did, but she had to worry about it more. Besides, Tobias seemed nice enough and had yummy food, so why should she worry?
"Che," Teivel grumbled, resisting the urge to roll his eyes at Sarka. He settled for an 'I'll get you back later' look, before returning his attention to this strange man. "You telling me that you're going to hold her hostage until I pay you?" The Rocket Grunt raised an eyebrow. This was totally not cool. Stealing Pokemon was supposed to be his job! "Good luck with that."

Tobias shrugged and reached into his backpocket to pull out another tasty item, this time, he was hungry.
Settling down onto his haunches he ate part of it, and broke off another piece to give to the eevee. He wasn't sure how long he could keep this shinanagin up, but by the end he hoped to have the man either beating him up to take his eevee back (and him running away quickly), or a large pile of money in his pocket.
Somehow, the plan wasn't working as well as he'd hoped.
"You know, I've always wanted an eevee," Tobias muttered. 'Please let him take this thing back,' he said in his mind. There was no way in hell he was keeping this thing for more than an hour. If he hadn't made any headway by then, he'd just give it up.
He'd scrounge berries or something for food. If that eevee hadn't eaten them all.

Oooh food! This human was just too awesome! Sarka munched happily on the food item that was offered to her, rolling onto his back so she was cradled in Tobias' lap. She reached up to paw his hand in an attempt to coax more food out of him, looking quite pleased with herself.
Teivel sighed. He knew it must have been the food that was making the Eevee stay. She was such a pig. With a shrug of his shoulders, he turned and started back in the direction he came. If Sarka wasn't going to come then he was going back to his hotel room. He wanted a nap. "Come find me when you're finished eating his food," the grunt called back to his Eevee, before jamming his hands in his pockets and stalking off. Urg. Why hadn't he run into a Houndour first?
Sarka waved a brown paw in response, before settling back down in Tobias's lap. She stared up at the young man with her best puppy eyes, hoping he had more food.

Damn it.
Tobias could have cried himself a river right then. This was going completely the opposite of his perfectly thought out plan. Biting grudgingly into the last of 'his' food, he swallowed it down with indignation, eyes watching the retreating figure of the person.
"I'll get you some more food," he told it, without really planning on doing that at all.
With any luck, it would get lost, the crazy trainer would come back to find it, and what then? Would he pretend he'd had it the whole time?
Oh who cared! Hissing at himself he stood and shook off the remaining crumbs that dusted his clothing and pounded back through the bush, with the full intention of being left completely alone on his sunning rock.
Now he was down food and money. People had sour gratitude these days.

More food? Yaaay! This human was the best! Sarka leapt neatly off his lap when Tobias stood, taking the moment to wash her face. There. Now they were both clean! With the promise of more food in mind, the Eevee trotted after Tobias, following him back towards the rock. She hoped this food was going to come soon. It was so much easier having food handed to you than having to go and find it. Of course, this human would run out of food eventually, but then she could toddle back to the hotel room and have a nap on her boy's chest. Yes, that sounded very nice.
"Eevee?" She queried, wondering when the food was coming. Sarka had places to go and people to see, you know.
Teivel, on the other hand, was rather miffed at the event's progression. Stupid Eevee. He was really going to have to start buying better food if he wanted her to stick around. How could he report back to headquarters about his Eevee now? Oh hi, my Eevee takes to random strangers and doesn't come when she's called. That would go over really well.

Tobias heard too many patters of feet behind him and froze. It was like a scene from a horror film. One dominated by little fuzzy creatures that killed you through starvation and bankrupcy and he was the main character. Why couldn't he die in a house of wax, instead?
"Oh, no, oh no no no, no no no!" he said, snapping around and shaking his finger at the creature. "You," he pointed to the eevee, "stay out there," his finger changed directions back the way they'd come. "I'll get the food." He gave a wink and sighed, ready to coil up on the ground there and die. It probably didn't know what the hell he was saying.
Then an idea came to him.
"On second thought, yes, you come with, and I'll let you pick what you want."

Wait what? What the heck was this human doing? He was making all sorts of weird gestures. Sarka blinked owlishly up at Tobias, tilting her head to the side as he pointed. There was no food back there. They had just been there. Honestly, she wasn't that stupid. The Eevee raised an eyebrow at Tobias, blue eyes watching him intently. Okaaay... she knew what the pointing meant, but what did closing one eye mean? Humans were so weird.
Only when the tone change did Sarka's ears swivel forward, recognizing the phrase "come." Now that was much better! "Eeevee!" She replied, moving to stand at Tobias's heels. Lead on, oh wise food provider!
