EPISODE 87: Message!***

The members of Team Rocket begin to argue against one another while me and Virgo watch them. They are like children to us, pointing who should be the one to speak. Each of them is shrouded with timidity as their body tries to lift their cold feet. The executives, on the other hand, panic for we are running out of time. The officers are infiltrating every room, and soon the control center will be too.

Their fingers point, and once a person rejects they point to the other. It is an endless cycle wherein once everyone has been pointed, we will be returning to the first pointer. I can already hear the police outside the door, fighting off the assigned men who are willing to guard the door just for the sake of this mission. Astonishment this is, knowing how faithful Team Rocket is to Giovanni because of the lies that inspired them.

I am already getting annoyed by this never-ending cycle. I do not have faith in Giovanni but I will be willing to say the message for the sake of this mission to end once in for all. If Giovanni returns, then I have been proven wrong if not then Team Rocket will have no choice but to leave and return to the island.

"Let me be the one to do it!" I interrupt the fighting, raising my hand to the sky. Everyone stared at me as I walk to the microphone. They were shocked to see someone volunteer. My decision has also put a smile on the faces of the executives.

In front of the microphone, I exhale deeply while pressing the green button which will automatically interrupt all stations. I am scared too, but my fear is lesser than the ones behind me. What makes me scared is that the whole Johto Region is listening to my speech but no one will be able to see or talk back to me.

With full confidence, I say the speech, "People of the Johto Region, we are Team Rocket. You have heard of us many times. May it be in the Radio, the News, or have seen us somewhere. We are everywhere and we would like to make an announcement.

Giovanni, we know you are within this region. Team Rocket calls back to you. This is not the time to hide in the shadows because of a mere failure that happened months ago. This is our time to rise, for the whole world will know our name. Wherever you are, we beg for you to return. Without a leader, Team Rocket will not have the capability to strive further. We are in need of your assistance." I end the speech, releasing my finger from the green button. I know for one I said the speech with fake feelings, but for the rest, it seems real. Now that the whole world has heard our message the only thing left for us to do is to wait for Giovanni to return.

We know, it is impossible for him to arrive right away, so we will be waiting for a few days, clinging with hope.

"Executives! They're hitting the door." A grunt alerts. The officers are starting to use force. I do not know what you call the big cylinder thingy which is used to whack down doors but I'm sure this is a big trouble for us.

"Let us hope Giovanni has heard our message. Come on, we must leave immediately." Executive Ariana says.

"And how are you proposing to do that?! We're stuck in a room with only one door out and prison lies outside that door." One member says sarcastically.

From the skies, a helicopter appears out of the large windows of the tower. Xeryll has arrived to help, eager despite being tired from all these shenanigans. She extends a rope for us to cling on, and shatters the glass with a grappling hook. One by one we aboard the helicopter before the armored police succeed in getting in.

"The other pilots were able to rescue a few members as well. The others have been apprehended by the Pokemon International Police. I'm afraid, the Johto Branch of Team Rocket is officially experiencing the scarcity of members. We only have our reserves to rely on." Xeryll reports while returning to the island with the other helicopters of Team Rocket.

"Good grief. What should we be doing now? Our only hope is Giovanni, and we must wait until he reveals himself once more." Proton says.

"And what if he doesn't?" I query.

"Then I'm afraid, we must do what must've happened after the fall of Giovanni Industries. Do not lose hope Luna, he has heard your voice, and he will be willing to search for you. I am sure of it." Ariana persuades.

The moment of waiting has begun. Will Giovanni return to Team Rocket? Only time will tell the answer. I have a slight feeling that he will be returning, but more of me says he won't. I do hope Giovanni won't let down those who have sacrificed himself for the sake of our message.
