Sitting across from the parts shop, at one of the outside tables at a local cafe, was a figure that most certainly didn't look like he belonged in a port. Dressed all in white, with not hair out of place, was Firaniel, one of Cipher's admins. Despite the fact that it may have been a good idea, he didn't bother with any sort of disguise. His elegant eyebrows would have given him away anyway.
Curled up in his lap was the warm weight of Tsun, his Vulpix. Part of the reason he hadn't bothered to evolve her was because he would miss this. He was also worried that Tsun would forget she was evolved and try anyway. He didn't like the idea of a Ninetails trying to be a lap Pokemon. His other Pokemon, Oracle the Lucario, and shadow Leafeon were in their Pokeballs. He didn't want to draw too much attention to himself.
As he took a sip of his tea, his PDA went off. One of the peons under his command was questioning their mission. Firaniel wasn't the type to be angered by such things. As part of Cipher, they had the right to question things they didn't agree with. "Of course darling. The message said. "The people need to know we're back." He could practically see the woman blushing when she read the word darling. The peons needed to think he cared after all, that's why he always made their messages a little more personal.
The peon and her partner were still a little reluctant, but the mission had to start. Somebody came out of the shop holding the box of parts they were after. The two peons sent out their Pokemon. A Golbat and a Sneasel. The jumped out of their hiding place and attacked. "Cipher wants those parts." One of them said as they had planned.
That was Firaniel's cue. He would pretend to be one of the good guys and save this other person from the peons. They had the entire thing planned out perfectly. Firaniel lifted Tsun off his lap and got up. "Just like we planned darling. Make it look real but don't hurt those other Pokemon."
Tsun gave a reply, showing she understood and the two of the ran across the street to 'help'. "Tsun, Fire Spin!" Firaniel ordered. The fire attack swirled around Golbat and Sneasel and the two Pokemon pretended to be hurt. One of the peons swore and they both returned their Pokemon. "You may have won this battle, but you won't win the war." The female peon said before both of them fled. The fire attack was showy and had drawn a lot of attention to the area.
Tsun rubbed herself affectionately against Firaniel's leg and the admin reached down to pet her. "Are you alright?" He asked the person who had just happened to come out of the shop.
