Logan sat atop Dragonair, one hand propping up his chin as he asked casually.
Across from him stood Sabrina, wrapped in a long coat—clearly trying to hide the Team Rocket uniform underneath. But Logan's mind drifted back to the sight he had glimpsed in her psychic world: her flawless, ivory-white skin and nearly perfect figure. Despite the strange and eerie surroundings, he suddenly felt a strong urge to pin her beneath him.
He sighed. Ah, youth... the age of stirring desires. Especially once a man has tasted a woman—it becomes even harder to restrain oneself.
Still, Logan knew that if Sabrina ever found out what he was thinking, she wouldn't just slap him—she'd likely vaporize him on the spot and bury his ashes on the same floor. If he was lucky, she might skip the tombstone.
Honestly, Logan didn't expect her to answer his question. He figured she'd keep her objective a secret. But to his surprise, Sabrina fired back with a question of her own.
"...Why are you in Lavender Town?"
Logan smiled playfully.
"Of course... to see the one and only Miss Sabrina."
She shot him a death glare.
He quickly changed tone and said seriously:
"Alright, alright. I actually came because a friend of mine—Blue Oak—has gone missing here. I'm investigating."
"Blue? As in Professor Oak's grandson?"
It was obvious Team Rocket had extensive intel. He'd barely mentioned a name, and she already knew exactly who he was talking about.
"Yeah, that's him. He may be a pain sometimes, but he's still my friend. And since I'm nearby, I figured I'd check it out."
Logan kept a light smile, though deep down, he was hoping Sabrina might know something useful. After all, Team Rocket often had better intel than the Pokémon League itself.
Team Rocket had power on both sides of the law. Their goals were simple and ruthless—money, power, and technology.
Sabrina hesitated for a moment. With her identity already exposed and Surge's cover blown too, there wasn't much point in keeping secrets from Logan anymore.
To be fair, Surge really had it rough this time—he barely escaped with his life. He was still recovering in a hidden Team Rocket base. If not for the fact that he had completed Giovanni's assigned mission ahead of time, his failure might've derailed their entire plan.
"I'm here looking for someone too…"
Sabrina finally answered. Her reasoning mirrored Logan's: maybe this unexpected meeting could lead to valuable information. Logan believed Team Rocket was omnipresent—but Sabrina thought Professor Oak might be just as resourceful.
Even within Team Rocket, there was lingering doubt about how their attempted kidnapping of Professor Oak had gone so easily.
"Oh? Someone from Team Rocket went missing? Important enough to send you personally?"
Now Logan was intrigued. Everyone knew Giovanni was the top boss, but if you ranked influence, Sabrina was arguably number two—the queen behind the curtain. She simply didn't enjoy managing affairs.
"It's Koga. One of the three Rocket executives."
She answered without thinking much.
"Koga? The Gym Leader of Fuchsia City?"
Logan's eyes narrowed. The name wasn't uncommon—but if she mentioned it, it had to be that Koga, the famed ninja Gym Leader of Fuchsia.
"So… the three Rocket Executives are you, Surge, and Koga? Excluding Agatha, I assume. Looks like this is the real core of your organization."
Sabrina glared at him sharply. She hadn't meant to reveal that much.
"Don't give me that look—you were the one who said it."
Logan shrugged nonchalantly.
Sabrina took a deep breath and gave up trying to hide it. Team Rocket was preparing to emerge from the shadows. A few leaked details didn't matter anymore.
"The Pokémon Tower in Lavender Town was originally one of our secret bases. It's full of Ghost-type Pokémon—which made for an ideal natural defense. But the team we sent in to survey it vanished shortly after reporting that all the Ghost-types inside had disappeared."
"Then Koga went in himself to investigate… and he disappeared too."
Her tone turned serious. Even Logan stopped joking around and became grim.
Koga was no rookie. A veteran Gym Leader—even if he wasn't quite at Giovanni's level—was leagues above newbies like Brock or Misty. Surge had already proven how strong Gym Leaders could be. And now he had vanished too?
Lavender Town was shaping up to be far more dangerous than Logan had expected.
What began as a casual investigation now felt like walking into a trap. He was grateful to have run into Sabrina and gained this critical intel.
"This is bad... I thought Blue might've just gotten into some minor trouble. But this is major."
Logan muttered under his breath. Thinking back, when Professor Oak mentioned the disappearance, his expression had been oddly calm—too calm. That old man definitely knew more than he let on.
Logan glanced at Sabrina—and just as he did, she looked back at him. Their eyes locked for a second. Logan's playful smirk made Sabrina avert her gaze in embarrassment, her cheeks flushing red.
She quickly grew annoyed with herself. Since when did she get flustered just making eye contact?! She used to intimidate people into silence just by looking at them.
"Miss Sabrina, Lavender Town is clearly more dangerous than we thought. A missing Gym Leader isn't something to take lightly. What do you say we team up and check it out together?"
Logan's eyes lit up. This was a golden opportunity—a powerful ally.
Sabrina felt a sense of relief at the offer. Truth be told, she had been considering it ever since they met. Regardless of her personal feelings toward him, she acknowledged Logan's strength.
"Fine. I'll begrudgingly go along with you... but don't get too close. I might not be able to stop myself from punching you in the face."
She said with a huff, eyes narrowing in her usual aloof way.
Logan chuckled and shrugged.
