PREPARE FOR DOWNCOUNT

[It was a nice, normal day on Awesome Island.

AND THEN CAME TEAM ROCKET. Granted, at least they aren't directly attacking the CMA, though there is clearly something going on with one of the smaller mountains on the eastern outskirts of the area

6. Forest clearing (Gold, Silver, Archer, Giovanni)

[It had begun to snow rather hard in the past hour or so; it was doubtful that it would interfere with anything, but it put Giovanni slightly on edge nonetheless. It probably had something to do with how ice types were the worst Pokemon ever.

That, and he was already a bit on edge; there was no way that the plan would fail, of course, but he was a bit antsy knowing that all the action was going on at the decoy to the northwest while he was just standing in a clearing waiting for Archer to finish setting up the real transmitter-the one they'd actually use to control the island.]

When did you say it would be ready, again?

[of_the_land]

Good, good.

[because it's cold, damnit. At least he has a nice coat.]

I'm sure the decoy is serving its purpose. We won't be interrupted.

[...in the context of Archer messing with his turtleneck, that could be... interpreted interestingly]

[of_the_land]

Oh, of course it was. It works on multiple levels, I think...

[so excite]

[of_the_land]

Of course.

[GIOVANNI LOVES PUSHING BUTTONS

ESPECIALLY WHEN PUSHING BUTTONS MEANS TAKING OVER THE WORLD

cue the most dramatic button pushing ever, complete with jet noises and speed lines]

[MUST RESIST URGE TO LET OUT AN EVIL LAU

oh fuck it, it's maniacal laughter time

because why not]

Well done, Archer.

[of_the_land]

Well, we'll see which of our enemies are still alive at the end of this, first...

[So this is where they were... Was there something special about the Aurora Forest in particular that made it a good place to conduct their plan? Or was it because it was secluded? Whatever the case, that didn't matter now... What mattered was stopping them!]

You say that like you have the power for such things, Archer! You should be more worried about making sure you can still stand!

[The silhouette of Gold, perched on Togetaro, with Silver close behind are cast against the pale dark sky, drawing close at breakneck speed, until Gold, close enough, leaps off his flying birdplane and lands on the ground.]

[mischiefbreeder]

[Once he's gained his footing, he recalls Togetaro and grins at the duo.]

Really, Giovanni, a radio signal? Isn't that a bit cliche? It's bad enough to repeat the mistakes of the past, so now you repeat the mistakes of that guy's past too? I'm disappointed in you!

...Though, I gotta give you props for that evil laugh. That was pretty wicked. I didn't think you had it in you to be so diabolical!

[tsuuuun]

[And not more than a second or two passes before Silver lands next to Gold and recalls Honchkrow. Gold covered everything he could have said and more, so he doesn't bother to add anything; instead, he immediately begins studying their surroundings, not to mention Giovanni and Archer themselves.]
