It had been a harsh week of work; working all morning from the wee hours of dawn to the tiny hours of dusk, sometimes even beyond that. From running errands to working in their various departments to missions galore, its a small wonder some of the newbie Grunts didnt start a boycott... (of course, who would want to send a few days in the brig with 1337?)
But, alas, the almighty unseen must have grown pitious towards the Rockets. One of the Agents was heading to the shoreline to train and word had leaked out to one of the grunts, causing her to intercept him in-base. A few words (and some pestering) finally caused said Agent to give in.
"Can I bring a few friends along for the ride?"
Ah, if only he knew how many a "few" were....
~~~~
"Heave ho!" Pushing and prodding forced a deflated floatie into the back of the van. If only that small area was bigger, they could put more stuff in the van....
"Bah..." Jen wiped the sweat off her forehead and replaced her hat back on her head. Oh how she longed to be wandering around in a pair of shorts and her bathing suit but being so close to the eyes of the Higher Ups...She didnt think they'd take well to a Grunt wandering around in a two piece. So uniform it was, at least until they got close to the water. Over head, a tiny bird pokemon flew around the vehicle with excited chirps.
"Oh can it, ya giant bundle of feathers. I'd rather not get in trouble before we leave..." She smiled. "Or at least until everyone gets here."
Jen just hoped the "few" people she invited were being incognito.

Nereus pressed himself up a wall and looked from side to side, surfboard strapped to his back with a string and a masterball pokeball balance on his head as he sneaked around the corner and hid in a plant. "Piiika...pika..piii" His goal was to get into the van without detection, no one must know about his sneaking (though Ezekiel knew....because the man knew everything his pokemon did...even thought said pokemon thought he was an idiot).
The surfing pikachu slowly sneaked about until he made it to the van and hid under it, watching closely as Jen stuffed the van with different items. Waiting until she was turned around to pick up another box and then jumping up quickly into the van and hidding up between all the stuff. "Pikapikapika"

The beach, the beach~ Liam sang in his head, more excited over this small vacation than he should have been. When he had first heard there was an... 'incognito' trip to the beach he been terrified. He had never been to the beach before. Weren't there Sharpedo? And GIANT Wailords that could swallow you whole!? But the more he thought about it, the better the idea got. Artie was a water Pokemon who didn't get to spend much time in the water and Pfeffa was, well... the best beach ball he could think of. He had even bought some beachwear for the occasion, though he had been told to hide it from any Agents.
Wearing his swimming trunks underneath his uniform was slightly uncomfortable, but he just thought of them as baggy underwear... that he could swim in. As for his... 'other necessities,' well they fit neatly in his jacket pocket... for now.
As he approached the van he saw a Rocket he didn't know ands almost shied away. But surely someone he was familiar with would show up soon. He'd just have to pretend that he was here for a training mission as he had been told, until he knew whether or not this Rocket was 'in on it,' so to speak.

It really hadn't been hard to stash all of her beach stuff. She usually left the base with a large duffel bag anyway, so stuffing her sun hat, sarong, sandals, and sun block into the bag was easy. There were a few pokeballs thrown in too, just in case.
Hiding her swimsuit was just as easy, just wear it under the uniform. The only thing she had on out of the ordinary was a red scarf tied around her hair, right under where her goggles set.
Newton trailed behind his partner. He was excited. They were all lucky he couldn't be understood or he would give them all away.
"Floon floon floon floon floon floon." He chanted.
Nyx walked up to the van. She recognized Jen and Liam, she waved and smiled.

"Floon Floon...."
Perking up a bit at the familiar sounding floons, Jen looked away from the box she was loading into the back just as another Grunt joined their little growing pow wow. Nyx, she knew, was here for thier "training". The other Rocket, well, she didnt know him but, if she had to guess, he was probably here for "training" too.
With a broad grin, the grunt walked away from the vehicle while waving at the two of them. "Hey guys!"
Yamir, too, swooped down to perch on Nyx's shoulder. With a chirp, he nibbled affectionately on a strand of white hair before glaring at the evil balloon following the human.
"Yar, stop." Jen frowned at her pokemon. "How have ya been, Nyx? Its been a while since we last seen each other, aye?"

There was a training session for the newbies going on at the beach. With the word party being circulated around, he figured out their little scheme. Parties equaled food and girls. He didn't expect too many of the latter but lots of the former.
Wearing a backpack stuffed with extra supplies, he walked to the Van like he belonged there. Non of higher ups would question one more grunt in a group. Trailing behind him was an excited Charmander, who spotted one person she knew, Newton the balloon. Suddenly straying from her path she ran under him looking up and tried to get his attention. "Char!"

"It has. They sure do keep us busy." She scratched Yamir under his chin and waved at Liam.
"Its too bad we can't get a break, now they're sending us on this training mission!" Nyx grinned. Newton stuck his tongue out at that mean ol' pidgey.
"So.." Nyx leaned closer to Jen and dropped her voice down to a whisper. "Do you think anyone packed any food? Huh?" There was a charmander... wearing a scarf. She looked up. "Oh hey! Its Panther!"
Newton floated down to the little Charmander and waved. He remebered her.

Very obtuse surfboard, check. Bright sunny day, check. Both best friends from youth, err . . . at least there is one? Annoying lime green colored speedo that just seems to suffocate his loins, check. Sorano was ready for this day at the beach. He was tired of everyone and everything at the base making his life a living hell, rather than the other way around. As he pushed his luggage into the vehicle's compartment, he sighed. He couldn't wait, he just wanted a day of relaxation.
"Weather's sure nice, 'ey Neva?" asked Sorano suddenly as he turned towards his Flareon.
"Flare . . . " mumbled Never, not really paying attention. He yawned a little out of boredom and curled himself up while sitting on a stack of suitcases. He'd rather sleep through the trip than wait. Sleeping was much, much more entertaining.

Liam saw Nyx wave in his direction and decided to dash on over. It was always best, in his opinion, to stick to those you knew, especially those who had helped you before.
"Hello, Miss Nyx, ma'am! My hands are all better now, see?" He held up those same hands to show her not even a trace of the cuts from a few weeks prior was left, hoping she would find that satisfactory.
Artie poked his head from behind Liam's legs, still the same mischievous Totodile he had always been, if only a bit tamer. He noticed a familiar purple face and a new orange one and waddled over.
"Toto! Totodile!" he called in greeting to the two other Pokemon with a big smile.

Jen laughed, both at Nyx's words and at the puffball Yamir had become as one of his favorite humans starting scratching him. "I agree. Demolitions has been on the go lately and its stressing. Nearly had a close call a week ago when someone who was sleep deprived handled some blasting jelly." Casting a friendly wave to Panther and Liam, Jen had started loading up the boxed up portable grill when a flash of bright green out of the corner of her eye caught her attention.
Teeth ground against one another as she shoved the box haphazardly into the back before dashing over to Sora. That damn IDIOT!
Grabbing him by the arm, she quickly dragged him over to the van and pointed to a random uniform someone had left on the seat. "Get in that uniform. NOW"

Nika grinned up at the Dirfloon and waved her hands, and then clutched at Nxy's boot to avoid being stepped on by a suddenly angry human.
Panther gave a casual wave and leaned on the van, listening. since when did team rocket have a demolitions department? He was going to ask when he suddenly spotted lime green and covered his eyes. If the idiot didn't understand the would subtlety, he should not be in team rocket!

"Oh... my... Arceus..." Nyx spotted the green... Didn't anyone tell this guy that this was being done under the guise of a training mission? Who was that, anyway? He looked familiar...
Luckily Nyx's attention was grabbed by Liam. He showed her his hands and she smiled. "Good, good. It looks like you haven't gotten in to any more trouble, either."

Emilie trotted down the hall to the elevator, Leo at her heels. A small towel peeked out of the corner of her messenger bag and underneath it lurked an assortment of paints, a few brushes, two water bottles and one of her smaller pallets. If she were caught there'd be no way of explaining them, or the medium sized canvas she held at an angle behind her back in some ridiculous attempt to not draw attention to it, but the risk was worth it. Painting at the beach! She hadn't done that in years!
As she entered the garage area she felt conspicuous in her red trainee's uniform, sitting over her bathing suit, but if the grunts and agent in charge agreed to take her then this "training mission" would substitute for her usual routine.
She could see the group ahead. "C'mon Leo, lets find out who's in charge of this thing."

A victim to the anger of the she-devil, Sorano haphazardly slipped the pants over his head and the shirt onto his legs. He ran away from her next, screaming in terror as he scrambled and tripped his way over to Never.
Never gave Sorano a side glance before turning his gaze over towards the Totodile. "Flare." he said, nodding his head with respect. He wasn't too fond of Water Pokemon, but this one seemed harmless at least.

Someone spoke up from the back of the crowd. They sounded male, and utterly confused.
"What the heck.."
Hayes - in sandals, blue and gray board shorts and a somewhat faded black t-shirt bearing the Deceptimon logo - adjusted his glasses and did a quick head count. One, two, three.. okay, maybe she'd meant a few dozen.
Switch, hanging off his shoulder, stared as someone went by in a Speedo.
"Jen?" the agent called, voice echoing in the confines of the garage. When the grunt responsible for this revealed herself, Hayes gestured at the gathered crowd. "Uh." Explanation please.
