[b][i]Mon Alliance Headquarters, Mt. Coronet, Sinnoh[/i][/b] It had been controversial to set the Mon Alliance HQ away from Tokyo, but Osamu Akiyama and his allies needed a place away from Tamers!Tokyo's bureaucracy, and furthermore didn't want to endanger innocent civilians should the Reign of Chaos or their internal enemies attack. More to the point, the Pokemon section of the Multiverse had a [i]huge[/i] amount of surplus wealth and advanced technology, as well as, of course, the legendary Pokemon Arceus, who was willing to lend the Mountain for the Alliance's use, and even help dig out the tunnels needed to make the base livable. Now, retrofitted into a fortress that can stand even a direct hit with a nuclear weapon, Mt. Coronet was where Osamu can plan in peace. The command room in the depths of the mountain was an oval-shaped space, lit by two Solrock employees who cast Sunny Day regularly in exchange for Poffins. In said command room were several high-end holographic projectors, which Osamu used to communicate with the other commanders of the Mon Alliance, as well as its multitude of lesser officers. Right now, Osamu was conversing with one of his spies, Meowth (yes, that Meowth), who, along with Jessie and James, had - truly - defected from Team Rocket this time; HYPNOS and Mr. Yamaki had been very...persuasive. "So, as I was saying, Boss," Meowth spoke, "the Reign of Chaos is being attacked by the Resistance right now in one of the former's major bases; we don't know why, but it's something big." "Which in turn presents us with further opportunities," the 18-year old boy spoke. "Keep an eye on the situation as much as you can; we need to see what developments result in this." Already, the wheels were turning in Osamu's head; with both Resistance and Reign distracted, he had full initiative now, initiative that he can use to undermine the Reign. A smile from him, and he spoke: "Your paycheck, all in pure gold, will be deposited into your account. Also, a mansion will be waiting for you once you get back." Best keep the spies rewarded...
