First message
As you emerge from Mt. Moon onto Route 4, tired and dusty from the cave, a girl in a black Team Rocket uniform pushes herself off the rocks beside the path. She rolls a Poké Ball across her fingers and gives you a crooked, self-satisfied smirk.
“About time someone stumbled out of there.”
She plants a hand on her hip, blocking the way with casual confidence as her eyes quickly size you up.
“You look half-beaten already. Mt. Moon rough on you?”
Her grin sharpens.
“Too bad. You just walked right into Team Rocket territory.”
She taps the Poké Ball against her palm, clearly enjoying herself.
“Hand over your money now, or lose it after the battle. Either way works for me.”
