Pokemon: Alpha and Omega

Chapter 56

Author's Notes:
What's going on you ask? Well isn't it clear, another chapter of Alpha and Omega is up! Why did I update so soon you ask? Well, maybe it's because I wanted to share my excitement over my other story "The Secret Prince" hitting over 250K views! Maybe it's because I wanted to say thank you to all my followers as I hit 900 total followers now! Maybe I'm just being a nice guy? Or maybe this is the beginning of weekly updates? But I guess you'll just have to wait and see if I update next week to see if that's the case.

Until then, if you like my work please vote, feel free to comment, and please share this story with your friends. I now present to you Chapter 57, enjoy.

At a secret Team Rocket base in the Johto region, a Team Rocket guard was just finishing his rounds through a server room. He then turned out the lights, walked out, and locked the door. Just a few seconds later, one of the ceiling tiles raised up by one of the security cameras, and a black gloved hand came down and attached a device to it before going back up and the ceiling tile went back in place. This repeated three more times at the remaining cameras, but at the last, instead of the tile going back in place, a figure dropped down. He was tall and was wearing all black. Even his face was covered leaving only his silver eyes exposed. He then ran to one of the servers and pulled out the key board and screen, and began typing. He wasn't at all worried about the security cameras, as the devices he placed on them caused the cameras to show a loop of the empty room. The man then connected a thumb drive and began copying Team Rocket files containing information about their activities all over the world.

This man had one goal in life, the destruction of Team Rocket, and he hoped these files containing their plans would help. As he was searching for any important files that weren't specific to a region, he found a file named Ash Ketchum. Curiously he opened the file and began reading about Ash's exploits against criminal organizations. The file mostly contained information about Ash, but also contained information about all of his traveling companions as well. As the man read the file he was impressed, and felt that he had found a kindred spirit, another whose goal was to stop Team Rocket. However all this changed when he saw the list of past orders regarding Ash, 'Do Not Kill', 'Push towards Teams Magma and Aqua', 'Push towards Team Galactic, 'Push towards Team Plamsa', 'Push towards Team Flare', and 'Capture before Operation Overlord'. This man now became confused by Ash's file, as he was starting to look like a Team Rocket tool, with his encounters with Team Rocket looking staged to keep his affiliation with the organization a secret.

The final capture order also left him curious, as it was a fairly recent order, meaning the operation listed must be still active. He quickly typed in a search of that operation, and found it under its own specific file and not affiliated with a specific region. He began to download the file as he began speed reading it, seeing that most of the operation preparation was being conducted in Kanto, but also with connections to Sinnoh, Kalos, and Unova. He speed read through the file, looking for the final location, and learned it would be held in Torrent.

Just as he was about to start reading over the details of the operation, he heard talking outside the door. Quickly he disconnected the thumb drive, hoping that enough of the files were downloaded and weren't corrupted, and ran to the opening left in the ceiling. A few seconds later the door opened and light were turned on, just as the ceiling tile was put back in place and the security cameras began operating normally.

About thirty minutes later in an empty alley, a manhole cover raised up and was moved to the side, as the man climbed out. He then started walking towards the street as he removed his mask, allowing his long red hair to drop. As he exited the alley, he walked within the crowd of ordinary people, disappearing as he blended in.
