[An outfit change? Makes sense, given the time of day... Silver bows his head in respect and greeting. He's still not adjusted to the idea of having any real power of his own.]

I didn't. I'm ready.

[Silver's accompanied by Weavile today; his partner is a little uncomfortable with their situation, but he's ready for action nonetheless.]

[forprofit]

It'll be a bit of a walk. I'd arrange a car or some other method, but we don't have all the resources right now...

[He looks down at the Weavile. Letting your Pokemon walk, huh? How strange.]

[feistytrader]

I can fly there if you can.

[forprofit]

[Oh goodie, Silver can do that too.] In that case, yes. I have a Golbat I can use.

[feistytrader]

Lead the way, then. [He lets out Honchkrow and Weavile immediately situates himself on Silver's shoulder. Let's fly.]

[forprofit]

[Flying means it'll only take a few minutes to reach the base. It's a simple building out in the woods, likely an old storage house until Team Rocket took it over. Anyone who tries to break in will only see empty rooms inside.]

This way. [Archer flips through a few key cards he brought along. The door to the basement is hidden behind an old poster for a Pokemon tournament. Foolproof!]

[feistytrader]

[...Real sneaky, Archer. Team Rocket's full of idiots...

Silver keeps quiet and makes his way down into the basement with caution. If it's so poorly hidden, it's no wonder why they need to make it disappear.]

[forprofit]

[What? No one else has discovered it so far! But it is the most vulnerable base to clear out first.]

Let's do the labs first. We'll burn the entire building when we're done.

[feistytrader]

[With his Houndoom, huh?] What should I look out for? [What's worth salvaging?]

[forprofit]

Removable drives and disks in the computers, if they're in there. There won't be any Pokemon left to take.

Ah, and some cash hidden in the walls. [He's only briefly looking through some paperwork scattered on the desks.] Everything else can do.

[feistytrader]

[Cash hidden in the walls. Okay. Weavile gets a quick hand gesture before he starts tearing through spots in the wall and looking for cash.

In the meantime, Silver checks out the computers... This one's password locked.

It takes Silver two tries to bust into it.]

[forprofit]

[Don't mind him checking over your shoulder also your hair looks great today]

Impressive. Do you work with computers a lot?

[feistytrader]

You make almost all of your passwords Slowpoketail or something to do with Zubat or Rattata.

[It's common sense. He doesn't have any kind of USB port or CD, so he takes out his old Pokégear to serve as one instead. Let's just go ahead and take anything that looks important off of this computer...]

[forprofit]

I see... [Well, usually the Grunts made those passwords. And Petrel. Maybe that explains a lot.

He'll tear out some hardware from other computers in the meantime. Not all of them need to be checked, just the ones with the most information.] These should be the last ones.

[feistytrader]

[Man, this is a gold mine. He could send this to Blue and she'd do wonders with it.

...Or he could have, were he not part of Team Rocket now. There was a hint of satisfaction on his face, but it quickly fades. It's not long before he's finished with the computer and looks up at Archer for further instruction.]

[forprofit]

[It's not a raid without stuffing everything into a bag when they're done!

...] Is something wrong? [You face expression has altered five degrees what is on your mind]

[feistytrader]

[...What? Why would something be-

He shakes his head and takes the opportunity to stare at Archer for a moment. As stupid as he is, he's pretty sharp, isn't he?...]]

[forprofit]

Alright. [Well, if he says so, but just so Silver knows he can talk to him about anything! Archer throws the bag over his shoulder and plucks Houndoom's pokeball off his belt.] That's everything we'll see. Shall we go outside?

[feistytrader]

Right. [Yes sir. He gives the place a quick couple of glances before heading up the stairs and out the building.]

[forprofit]

[Archer keeps the doors open behind them; no point in locking the place up now. He calls out Houndoom and takes several steps away.]

You'll want to stand back. [Chances of raining parts of building on fire is likely. He knows - he's done this before.] I hope you enjoy the show.

[feistytrader]

[Oh boy, there's nothing quite as exciting as destruction.

Silver takes a couple of careful steps back and upon further consideration, he lets Kingdra out, just in case. Go ahead, Archer.]

[forprofit]

[Now it's time for his favorite part! He points towards the building.] Houndoom, burn it. The usual way.

[Houndoom puffs out smoke in acknowledgement and leaps towards the front, spitting out a blast of fire. Don't mind Archer, he's just going to stand here and watch for a minute.]

[feistytrader]

[It doesn't take long for the building to go up in flames, and it doesn't catch anything nearby on fire. It's well contained. Good.]

[forprofit]

[Let's just say Houndoom has had lots of practice in this. Archer faces Silver with a satisfied sigh.] Shall we? The smoke will get attention sooner or later.

[feistytrader]

Shouldn't we wait until it completely goes out? [Isn't it dangerous to just leave it like this?...]
