"So what's the plan?" Nate asked.

"Haven't thought it through yet," Justin replied.

"Yeah, thinking doesn't seem to be your strong suit. Maybe we should take a little bit of time to figure out how we're gonna go about this."

"I don't see how we need such a big plan," Justin shrugged. "We just gotta let loose some chaos into this place."

The two Team Deception members stood, side by side, in front of a caged Seviper. Surrounding them were other caged pokemon, captured, not by pokeballs, but by hand. Nate and Justin had, themselves, captured this particular Seviper, which hadn't bothered them so much until looking at it like this. It was angry, afraid and sad, refusing to blink as it stared down its captors.

They made a promise - Well, Justin made a promise - to Taggarty Lee, to find a way to release the Seviper from its cage. After all, they had abused Tag's trust and tricked him into helping them capture it, hence his interest in the case. What made things tricky was that these caged animals were recently on display for a zoo as a front by Team Deception. Now, about 25 pokemon were locked up in a warehouse in central Gigarte. Justin and Nate, members of Team Deception, could not simply release it, as it would be known that it was them. Leaving the organization was potentially deadly in and of itself, but betraying it? Well, they didn't want to be caught.

"They know we're here," Nate said. "That's why we need a plan. If something goes wrong right now, of course they're gonna blame us."

"So what do you suggest?" Justin asked.

"We need to find somebody who can take the blame for us," Nate replied. "Think about it, man, there's young pokemon trainers all over the damn place just looking for an opportunity to be heroes. Let's just give them that opportunity."

"That sounds, uh-"

"We're still in Team Deception, after all," Nate smiled. "Come on, let's go find us some fall guys."
