EPISODE 62: Suspicion*

Another warm morning rises through the horizon of the Kanto Region. For some unexpected reason, Giovanni has ordered all agents to proceed to the auditorium. Actually, Giovanni ordered everyone. From the elites, agents, and operatives to his very own executives and secretary Ms. Matori.

I start to wonder about the reason behind this. Giovanni only commences meetings like this whenever something wrong has happened or if there are any important announcements.

Of course, no one wants the boss to wait. So the alarm clock sounds, only to gather everyone's attention and perhaps remove their drowsy spirit.

"Luna... Giovanni is calling us again." Charlotte speaks with a drowsy voice. She looks down on me, trying to wake me up by throwing little pieces of crumpled papers on my way.

"Another mission? I'm tired." I yawn then tilt my body to left. My hands then grasp my Bulbasaur pillow.

"It's not a mission Luna. Giovanni is calling everyone to his presence. Even the executives." Charlotte utters. She continues to throw crumpled papers at me, trying earnestly to gather my attention.

I decide to lean my upper torso, causing me to accidently bump the bed on top of me. The headache removed my sleepy spirit.

"That's what you get for being a couch potato." Charlotte starts to giggle as she jumps off her bed. Her jumping off the bed every day? Makes the ladder a useless tool.

"Alright, I'm up! Let's go." I bellow the last yawn of the morning, stretch my arms, and proceed to my daily morning routine but this time at a faster pace than usual. As I open the door, I saw everyone running at a very fast pace. All of them dashed through the halls with discomfort and stress.

"What's going on?" Charlotte puts a grunt to a halt. She queries to him about the events happening.

"Boss Giovanni is calling us, he says its an emergency which requires immediate response." The grunt replies and continues to run.

At the auditorium, everyone seems to have a panicking look at their face. Commotion surrounds the atmosphere with gossips and chatters.

On the stage, the three pillars seem to be discussing something important. I try to look for the executives yet they are nowhere to be found for some reason. Domino is here, as so as the secretary but where are the executives?

Minutes have passed, and finally, Giovanni arrives at the auditorium. He seems to be furious and frantic about something. As Giovanni enters the stage, everyone tilts their head towards him. The gossips which once roamed the atmosphere turned into quietude and calmness.

Giovanni begins to talk, "Greetings Team Rocket. As you have noticed, I've called all of you for a special meeting. Team Rocket is experiencing an imminent threat." A picture then flashes on a screen. To my surprise, the picture depicts the look of a trainer wearing a red jacket.

"Yesterday at around three in the afternoon, the game corner in Celadon City was attacked by this trainer. Countless men lost to him which gave me a decision to enhance the training sessions of every grunt." Giovanni continues. Everyone starts to gossip again after hearing about the trainer.

After hearing about the trainer, I felt enthusiastic to fight him. If I am not mistaken, he goes by the name of Red from Pallet Town. I also concur with Giovanni to enhance the training sessions of each category.

"Aside from this. I have noticed suspicious activities going on within the organization. Someone or something is telling the opposing organization about our missions. Therefore, I have come up with the decision to investigate further.

I also ask everyone to find the traitor or point out anyone who seems suspicious. And as for the traitor who I presume is lurking within these walls right now, I am warning you. Better show yourself before getting into further conflict, or worse, I will expel you." Giovanni warns with his eyes glaring at each of us.

Everyone starts to gossip again, trying to figure out who the boss is trying to assume. As for the loyal ones, they concur with Giovanni's instructions to find the traitor for him.

Me? Since I have a week of free time, why don't I join the hunt for the traitor? After all, I have Charlotte and Xavier who could help me too perhaps.

Giovanni then ends his discussion and leaves the room with his feline compadre following his trainer's footsteps.

Due to Giovanni's announcement, Team Rocket's quietude has dispersed. Everyone starts to question each other... who is the turncoat of this vast organization? The hunt is on.
