"Alright, I will arrive in about three hours." Do you have anything you want to try and get done in that time or are you just going to wait for Isolde and Anne to get back?

After he hangs up with Isolde, Kage paces the HQ, cursing with frustration.
#No, just waiting.

A few hours later Isolde arrives. "Alright, I managed to acquire a Leaf Stone. It will be 4000 for it. Still looking into the Razor Claw. I spoke to the hacker and he says that he could remove the files from some computers, but its distributed enough that it will be impossible to get rid of at this point. He might be able to remove some of the files that the police have kept away from the public, but he would have to find out what that was first. He says he will tell you what the police are keeping secret for 4000, and base the delete price on how hard the info will be to remove. As far as disguises go, I have you set up. I have three different set ups here, complete with fake pokedexs. It'll be 10,000 for the set or we can haggle if you only want one."

#Sorry about that, I totally missed this post.
Kage listens to Isolde and responds thusly, "Here's 25,000 for all of your wares, Isolde. It's the least I can do for what you've done for me. As for the hacker, I'll take him up on his deal. If you're in good enough standing with him, tell him I am good for the money, as I've just pulled this job and to do whatever he thinks is necessary for keeping me as unidentified as possible. Here's the 4000 to get him started. Thanks again, Isolde. Is there anything I can do for you?"
With every mention of those damn pictures, the darkness in his mind grows. Even now he can feel his abilities getting stronger.

"I appreciate generous customers. I'll send the hacker the money right away. Anything else I can do to help, let me know? Are you interested in trying to get out of town or country, or do you plan to stick around in the shadows?" At this point she finally looks at Victini and says, "Alright, I was not going to ask, but how exactly did you end up with a legendary pokemon hanging around your secret base?"

Before Isolde asks about the Victini, Kage responds, "My intention is to stick around for now and feel out the situation. If things get too hot I'll probably leave. Do you know of any exits that I can slip out of if that is the case?"
"Ah, you noticed this little one, eh?" Kage laughs a bit, "Believe it or not, it was stored in the Vault. It woke up and defended me from a lunatic bomber and since then it's been following me around. Do you know anything about Victini?"

"There are a few ways to get out of town quickly and quietly. The best ways involve having smuggle you out, but if you want to move yourself, then the best way would be through the sewers, or just leaving through the south gate in some sort of disguise." In response to your question about Victini, Isolde gets a bit quite. "I have heard many stories about this pokemon. He is largely regarded as a legend for the stories are ridicuous. Supposedly this creature picks people it thinks are interesting and then accompanies them. While he is with them, they will be assured of victory in every battle and conflict. Losses may be high and costs great, but you cannot lose with Victini at your side. He will stay by your side and do whatever he does until he grows bored and finds another to help out. These are of course only legends, so I would not be too cocky, but now may be the time to try any of your more ridiculous plans."

Rdiculous plans? Kage isn't really the kind of guy that makes long term plans, he waits for inspiration to strike. "Is that so? Victory is assured... I'll have to think on that. Do you know of any high end marks? I haven't explored most of the city, yet. To find the bank, I just followed some rich guy there."

Isolde thinks for a moment and then gets a kinda of "Ah-hah" look on her face. She composes herself and then says, "I would not normally suggest something like this, but you do have a legend on your side." She pauses for a moment and then speaks again, "I'm sure you know that Kanto is falling to pieces in a lot of places right now. Street people like you and I, and innocent children are being ravaged by forces that are evil and sinister. If you want to start a career as a truly legendary thief and a criminal, and you have a Victini by your side, then now might be the perfect time to do something heroic and visible. Get public opinion on your side, so that the common man will help instead of hinder you. Make yourself into a legend. The law may still hunt you, but if you occasionally throw in a well publicized good deed into the mix, then most people won't and the cops will have a hard time catching you when the entire city is on your side. Maybe that sounds like a terrible idea, but I think now might be the perfect time to try it, and it would largely solve your identity problem. Take refuge in audacity, become a hero-thief."

"Alright, I see where you're going, but I'll need more than that. I know little to nothing about this town's political scene nor about it's community. Who do these people look up to? What do they need? I suppose I can take some or most of the money I'm earning through this job and give it to those that need it. Rob from the rich to give to the poor, so to speak. Everyone loves generosity, right?"

"Local politics is neither dramatic enough, nor easy enough to get into. Your big chances are in the following areas I think. There is some sort of war going on with crazy genocidal bugs up in the Pewter area. Being a war hero is always a crowd pleaser. Additionally, Team Rocket just took over Saffron. I know that you are currently working for them, but going and rescuing the city or something would draw some attention. The last easy option would be generosity. I think the best place you could give money too might be the pokemon centers. There has been a bunch of pokemon mutations recently and donating money to help those pokemon would be both dramatic and kind. Additionally, because of the pokemon centers' legal status, they will have no obligation to return the money to the bank, and the money will actually get used for the curing of the pokemon."

"Yeah I'm not much of a fighter, I can hold my own, but it's not where I shine. Nor am I particularly a great leader. I think the Robin Hood approach is the best one. I'm glad we're on the same page. I'm no stranger to misfortune, so helping out a good cause seems like a win-win for me. Once Anne get's back with the cash, that's what I'll do and set-up another heist to add to the pot."

"Alright, I'll begin work on finding someone in one of the nearby pokemon centers who will work with us to make this as easy and provable as we can. I'll also start looking for some ways to make sure a lot of media is there to pick up the deed without putting you in excess danger." She nods and heads out of the base to get to work. The hacker girl seems to have overheard the conversation and says, "I can see what I can as far as making sure the information is displayed on as many screens and terminals as I can hack. Normally I'd charge for something like that, but considering my current financial situation and the general good effects the deed will have on the world, I'll do this one for free."

Kage thanks ISolde as she leaves and responds to Kalli, "Well, I appreciate that greatly. As you may have seen, I tend to reward loyalty and trust, so I won't forget this." Kage smiles thoughtfully. "Now, where are those two with the money?"

As if on cue, there is a knock on the hideout door. When the door is answered however, you find yourself facing the team rocket leader instead of Anne. "We have a bit of a situation. Your girl and my guy were converting the goods, and they stopped by one of the Team Rocket bases in town to get in contact with someone. As of fifteen minutes ago however, that base came under attack by the police and apparently a horde of Drowzee. I would prefer it if we did not lose the base, but based on the numbers, it looks like will happen soon. There are a few things I need to make sure don't get captured however. I'd like to hire you and your team to head in to the base, rescure your girl and my guy, and make sure to grab a few items before getting back out again. Interested?"
