Vincent was bored.

This was a whole new level of bored Vincent had never experienced. There was no way on earth that anyone could be so out-of-work as he was. And for Pete's sake, he had a job. His boss was so mad at him, because she wasn't able to file a completed seasonal report. Why?

Because Vincent had failed the last mission on the report.

And as punishment for being the 'worst Grunt of all time and a disgrace to Team Aqua,' Vincent was forced to reside in his room, alone, and do nothing. He couldn't leave for anything. It had been nearly two days now, and Vincent hadn't eaten anything since then. Thankfully, the room had a complimentary bathroom with sink and shower, but he was starting to get lonely and hungry. Very hungry.

His pokemon were no better. All of his pokeballs had been confiscated and were being withheld, forcing his pokemon to roam around the room and suffer with him. None of them deserved this, especially Sneasel. It had worked so hard to defeat the Rebel Engineer with the Houndour in the secret hideaway at Montague Point. Poor Sneasel was tired and hungry, even two whole days after the battle. Shellder was also whipped, taking on Adrian's Poochyena, Anubis, all by itself. Seel and Snorunt were unhurt, but starving.

The monotonous afternoon passed by with nothing exciting or even mildly amusing happening. Vincent lay on the bed, arms behind his head, legs draped over the side, staring at the ceiling. His pokemon slept, trying to stave off their hunger with unconsciousness. Vincent was jealous of them. They had superpowers and near-human intelligence. Why should they be so lucky?

Vincent's radio buzzed loudly across the room, waking up all four of the pokemon in the room as well as startling the radio's owner. He jumped up out of bed and answered the receiver.

"Grunt Vincent Lance, reporting."

::Lance. Guess what? I've decided to let you redeem yourself. You are to go into the city and locate the disk you so easily let slip through your fingers two days ago. I'm not giving you the intelligence report that said it was located at the far end of Noverus, because you have to figure it out yourself as punishment. Your pokeballs are at your door, retrieve them and be on your way. You have forty-eight hours, so GET MOVING!::

Vincent was used to saying one sentance to the Commander and ending the conversation. She was stupid, but she could easily ramble all of the answers to any of his questions into her opening/closing statements.

Vincent hoped the High Commander would fire her.

He opened the door and picked up the pokeballs, returning each of his pokemon to them. Then, with a sigh of relief to be out of his room at last, he exited the dormitory section and headed to the Supply Depot.
