As they knocked out a sufficient number of patrolling grunts, all of them changed into the clothes acquired by the now-unconscious grunts.

And then, they started to walk towards their target, the Team Rocket's headquarters, with practiced and natural footsteps, as they already observed their targets' body language. And without letting anyone suspect a single detail about them, they infiltrated the base with ease. Now, the real mission starts...

After going through the entrance,

"Now, it's time to split up. CCTV cameras will be off for 3 minutes, so you need to get in there in the available time, Jessie. Now, let's go." James said eying every one of them.

With nods of acknowledgment, everyone split up and went to their designated locations to complete their individual tasks.

While James and his team went to set up the explosives in some important areas of the building, that keep the whole building structure from collapsing, Jessie with Demo, went to free and capture the confined Pokemon while ordering Rick and George to go do the same as James' team. Mainly, near the monitoring and communication sections, so that no one can call for any reinforcements... if they had any.

Jessie and Demo stealthily moved toward the targeted room through the long corridor, silently passing through many patrolling grunts, giving some of them nods here and there.

After walking for a little while, they finally reached the containment room and saw two guards unmovingly guarding the metallic door with their serious faces, like their lives depended on it.

They gave nods to the guards, but didn't receive any response from them. If someone doesn't thoroughly look at them, then anyone will mistake the two for stone statues.

They eyed the communication devices the guards were carrying on their belts as they silently passed through them and went to a sharp turn on the left.

Now hidden from the guards, Jessie silently signaled to Demo with a nod, as Demo took out a customized Pokeball from his belt so that it don't produce any sound like the normal one does, and summoned a tiny spider-like Pokemon, covered with yellow fur. It had blue eyes and was so tiny, that it was staying in the palm of Demo's hand, waiting for his instructions.

"It's your turn to shine, Static. Show me what you got." Demo said to the small Pokemon encouraging it.

Then, Static the Joltik, while giving a cute and serious nod to Demo's encouraging words, taking advantage of its tiny figure, stealthily moved toward the standing guards by crawling to the corner of the ceiling...

After stealthily crawling for a while, he went over the two guards' heads, released the ceiling, and silently landed on the back of the guard's neck.

And-

"Huh?"

-SIZZLE!

Joltik gave a sizzling shock, using [Thunder Shock] to the unsuspecting guard without giving him any leeway to utter his confusion.

"Shit-!!" Before the other guard could even touch his communication device, Static quickly jumped towards his unguarded face and gave a [Thunder Shock], making both guards unconscious.

Then, Jessie and Demo silently went towards the door as Joltik quickly climbed on Demo's shoulder, giving him a proud look, expecting to receive his praise.

"Job nicely done," Demo said with a smile, patting Static on his tiny head.

Now, Jessie's eyes narrowed as she spotted the keycard reader on the side of the door. Then she looked at Demo giving him a nod to proceed.

While giving her a nod in return, Demo pulled out a small device from his pocket and began cycling through the keycodes, his deft fingers swiftly flying across the blue keypad...

-TAK, TAK, TAK...

But then, they suddenly heard someone's footsteps as Jessie quickly looked toward the direction the sound was coming from.

Then Jessie spotted a shadow on the left side of the door. At the turn of the corridor, the shadow on the wall was getting bigger and bigger, informing her of someone approaching them.

"Demo, hurry up," Jessie whispered nervously, hurrying the white-haired man, who was brainstorming through the codes.

"Just 10 seconds..." Demo quietly informed her with his full concentration on his ongoing task, sweat visible on his forehead, as he hurriedly started typing across the keypad.

After coming so close, he wasn't ready to throw away all of his hard work into the mud just because of some little variable. So, he applied everything he had known until now and speeded up his typing on the blue screen to his limits...

Meanwhile,

On the opposite side of the restless duo, a dark blue-haired woman with an hourglass figure, who was wearing a distinctive black uniform and a red colored "R" on the chest, that shows her allegiance, was calmly walking near the Pokemon container room in the long corridor.

She was checking out her subordinates like she always does, if any of them were slacking off during their duty. But, as she turned left on the sharp corner, she saw the door of the containment room. And, the place was empty.

'... The fck?...' she thought in disbelief.

She saw no one was guarding the third most important room in the whole facility. And, it made her very angry.

- BANG! BANG!

"Tch! These fuckers! I told them to never leave the post even if they have to wear a diaper! If something happens, all blame will be on me for having incompetent bastards like these!!" She said full of anger, stomping her feet on the floor, scorn written across her unnecessarily beautiful face.

"Just let them come... He! he! I'll bloody kill them with my own hands!" She said with a maniacal smile across her face, wholly destroying her womanly charm.

Then she grumpily walked towards the door, took out a shiny black card from her pocket, and swiped it on the keycard reader on the wall.

After the door automatically opened with a mechanical sound, She looked toward every corner of the room. And no matter where she looked, everywhere were only Pokeballs, contained behind the glass of the six-rowed shelves. There were more than hundreds of them.

"Sigh~, thank Arcues, no one entered." She said with a sigh.

As she didn't catch sight of anyone in the room after eying every corner without going in there, she walked away giving a maniacal smile, vowing to "discipline" her subordinates as the doors automatically closed with a click.

But... In that room, she was unaware of the four individuals... or five individuals above the door, dangling on the ceiling, like spiders, with webs covering the two unconscious guards...
