Welcome to Gaia! ::

Once the initial confusion was over with and he'd handed over care of his patients to more qualified individuals KO, like many low ranking Rockets, had found himself assigned to go out and bring in supplies. Buying in massive bulk would arouse too much suspicion or so he assumed at any rate and of course he was limited by what he could carry on his transport.

The newly promoted Grunt though pretty pleased about his slightly less lowly position found himself giving a weary sigh. He would be glad to get out of Ambergris, sure, but really. "I can't believe I'm reduced to this."

"Awrf?"

Shaking his head KO adjusted the bag-covered harness on his Arcanine. "Nothing Viceroy, nothing at all." He wasn't a fan of riding on pokemon even on ground level but the TR vehicles were not available for this shopping trip so there wasn't exactly a choice. He was however to expect company, he hadn't recognised the name of the Grunt he was going to be working with but it was always good to make new friends.

As satisfied with the harness as he could be KO gave Viceroy a pat and waited for the arrival of his compatriot.

Ahhh, so this was his partner for the day? That was some Charizard he had there, though an impressive pokemon said nothing about the person themselves of course. KO looked Tama up and down though he wasn't critiquing clothes today, forced into borrowed jeans along with one of his own shirts and waistcoats as he was - 'low profile', tch!

"That's me. You must be Tama then." The kid looked somewhere in his mid teens but already equalled KO in height. "I believe Jinko is our destination du jour... ever been there? I must confess I've only even driven through at high speed." He hadn't been in Kodo all that long before he got Star to recruit him so he hadn't exactly been exploring; Camphoreon he knew well, and he could see himself getting to know Ambergris better than he wanted to but he hadn't visited the other settlements.

<> Viceroy greeted the other fire type. <>

Wow. What a charmer.

KO smiled and gave a relaxed shrug. "Oh well, I know the way and it can't be too hard to find what we're after... well what I'm after, I don't know if you've been told different. I'm after fruit and vegetables, fresh, and some cleaning supplies." Not all that exciting but he could buy for himself at the same time he supposed; a bottle of wine would go down rather well right now and he could check it out separately to avoid having it show up on the TR bill.

Viceroy blinked, looking a bit bemused. Viceroy often looked a bit bemused. my master is going so it must be important. Maybe your master just doesn't realize,> the fire type reasoned after a few moments; it made sense to him at least!
