The sound of plates and other items being placed on the table, neatly arranged.
"Mr.Giovanni, please enjoy your meal."
"Polite, aren't we?"
Giovanni picked up his knife and fork, slicing the meat in front of him in half.
"What's this?"
"Sir, that's Slowpoke meat prepared in a minced style. I've combined it with various fruits to make it as nutritious as possible."
"Hmm."
Taking a bite, Giovanni smiled and wiped his mouth.
"Are you satisfied, sir?" the small, blond-haired young man asked.
"I won't say much, but your chef has some skill."
"Why, thank you!"
*'The black market isn't easy to find good stuff in, but when you do, it's top-notch.'*
"Alright, let's get to the main point. What do you want?" Giovanni eyed the man before him, the boss of this entire underground city.
This place was unique, dealing in everything, where Pokémon kidnapping was just another day.
The reason he agreed to cooperate was that the benefits outweighed the risks. After all, they had found what he needed.
"If there's something I want, it's a good relationship with your Team Rocket. Rocket has been infamous for ages, even considered the most dangerous criminal group to ever exist. So why wouldn't I seize the chance to get close to you?"
"Quite the silver tongue. You've probably said that to plenty of others, haven't you?"
"Oh, I'm not *that* smooth, sir."
"Hmm... Fine. I don't lack suppliers for contraband, but you've impressed me, so I'll invest in this place. Don't disappoint me."
"Oh, thank you, Lord Giovanni!"
After that, Giovanni finished his meal and left with his subordinates. That was when the underground city's boss finally let his smile fade.
"Phew, dealing with someone that powerful is such a hassle. Bring me some wine."
"Yes, sir!"
He sat on a throne-like chair as his subordinate approached and filled his glass.
"Report."
"Sir, today we acquired over 100 Pokémon and other items, but the casino's profits dropped noticeably compared to yesterday."
"Tch, useless. Only a hundred Pokémon? What's the point? And the casino—advertise it more aggressively," he said, draining his glass.
"Yes, sir. Next, the revolutionary group seems to be planning something. It looks like they might be preparing to take us down for good."
A smile spread across his face.
"Those little rats are nearing their end. I want to see their final struggles before we turn them into slaves. Just thinking about it is thrilling!"
His subordinate swallowed hard, unnerved by the innocent smile on that youthful face.
The Boss was known as an unpredictable figure, his actions and demeanor utterly erratic.
At times, he behaved like a child; at others, like a hot-tempered middle-aged man.
And most notably...
"Bring in a slave. I want some entertainment."
The sound of chains clinked, revealing a wretched man dressed in tattered rags.
He was a gambler who had lost everything and racked up insurmountable debts, forcing him to sell himself to the Boss.
Selling yourself to the Boss was no different from putting a knife to your own throat.
"Come out, my dear Pokémon~"
He tossed a Pokéball, summoning an immensely powerful creature.
RAGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Its roar echoed through the room, forcing the subordinate to cover his ears.
The slave, meanwhile, was paralyzed with fear, his legs giving out beneath him.
The Pokémon before him was a dual-type with many weaknesses but still considered stronger than even some legendary Pokémon.
A tyrant of the sandstorm, Tyranitar!
"Tyranitar, crush every part of him. I'll be delighted if you do it slowly, letting him feel every bit of pain," he said to his Pokémon.
Tyranitar lumbered forward, causing the slave to collapse, sweating and crying in terror.
'Ugh, I don't want to watch this…' The subordinate covered his eyes and turned away.
"What's that? Don't want to watch?"
"I still have some humanity, Boss."
"Then I suggest you toss it aside. If you're with me, you'll experience what I find fun. Oh! Here comes the good part! Look!"
"I'll pass."
"How boring. Fine, pour me another drink, and I'll describe everything Tyranitar does!"
"I'll pour, but I don't want to hear it."
"His leg's been crushed to a pulp, bones sticking out! So thrilling! Now rip his stomach open, let his guts spill out so I can see every part as he dies."
"..."
He was a freak in human form.

"Achoo!"
"What's wrong, senpai?"
"Nothing, just a feeling I'm about to meet a devil in human skin."
Rey glanced at the communicator, its array of buttons dizzying to the eyes.
"Senpai, do you know how to use this?"
"Of course I do! Trust me!" Rey pressed a button.
At the casino hall...
Suddenly, the loudspeaker blared, catching the attention of gamblers, managers, and security.
[Attention, attention, attention! Listen up! Everyone hearing this must immediately engage in mutual... uh, activities. No complaints! If you do it with a Pokémon, even better—we fully support your preferences! Long live LGTV! Long live Say Gex!]
...
"...Senpai, I'm a girl."
"Just... don't say anything."
They noticed another button.
"What's this one?"
"Definitely the communication button! Press it!"
As soon as it was pressed, the loudspeaker spoke again.
[Announcement: Per the directive of CSN's high command, we order you to surrender all female Pokémon to our leader, especially those with attractive appearances. If you have a Vaporeon, any gender will do—our leader's also quite fond of femboys.]
...
"...Senpai, I'm starting to think this is a porn hub, not a communication room."
"...Just wait."
After fumbling around, they finally found a legitimate communication button.
"Alright, ready to contact Red!"
"Senpai, you've got this!"
"Thanks for believing in me. After we're done, I'll treat you to a black coffee!"
"I hate black coffee."
"Whatever! Press it!!"
Rey hit the button, and the screen displayed a message connecting to the nearest person.
"...Wait, senpai, how are we contacting Red like this? Just pressing that button seems kinda weird."
Rey looked at Rin, grinning.
"No idea."
...
...So we're just doing pointless stuff?
