Pokémon: My Titles Know No Limits! [120]

“Officer August, the above is all the intel I’ve gathered from my years of infiltrating Team Rocket.”

Dressed in a Team Rocket uniform, Sabrina delivered her lines flawlessly.

Then, activating Teleport, she vanished from sight.

“Cut!”

The moment August called it, Blue quickly clapped the slate shut in front of the camera.

Watching the playback, August couldn’t help but be impressed.

“Sabrina, your acting skills are spot on. Ever considered a career in the film industry?”

If this had been before, Sabrina would have already turned anyone who dared order her around into a doll.

But right now, she had no choice but to endure.

Ignoring August’s sarcasm, she simply asked, “Are we done?”

“Of course, we’re done.”

Seeing her complete lack of enthusiasm, August shook his head in disappointment.

What a shame… The entertainment industry just lost a future international superstar.

Still, he carefully stored the memory card containing the footage—

A very useful insurance policy.

It held a full recording of ‘Team Rocket double agent Sabrina’ handing over intel to ‘International Police Officer August’.

If Sabrina ever tried to betray him, all he had to do was release this footage—instantly turning her into a League hero.

Honestly, he was being way too kind to her.

Sabrina took a deep breath. “So, does this mean I’m officially part of the International Police now?”

“Of course! Welcome to the Kanto Division of the International Police—you’re now a proud… informant.”

August smiled.

“Granted, our Kanto division’s salary and benefits probably mean nothing to someone like you, but look at Blue—she started as an informant, and now she’s a fully recognized International Police officer.”

“As long as you work hard, you too might become an official member one day.”

Now that she was under his command, it was only right to properly motivate her.

Blue, catching on, nodded in agreement. She had walked this path herself—now she was technically Sabrina’s senior.

Sabrina wasn’t Blue, though.

She saw through August’s bullshit immediately.

Still, as the newest double agent, she had to play along.

“I’ll do my best.”

August didn’t expect heartfelt gratitude.

In fact, if she had genuinely looked grateful, he would have been suspicious.

This level of compliance was enough.

At his signal, Gardevoir finally withdrew the psychic field suppressing Sabrina’s abilities.

The moment the mental restraints were lifted, Sabrina felt an immediate sense of relief—her psychic powers flowed freely once more.

Then—

She realized something odd.

Her psychic energy… had actually grown stronger.

Not by much.

But enough to be noticeable—as if she had gained a full month’s worth of meditation in just a few hours.

Why?

Her thoughts immediately drifted to the shameful experience earlier—

Was it the Pokéblock August gave me?

The very thought made her feel humiliated.

Oblivious to her inner turmoil, August gave her a puzzled look.

“…Why aren’t you leaving? Don’t tell me you like it here? Should I have Indeedee redecorate this cell for you?”

Sabrina snapped out of it and immediately shook her head.

She wasn’t insane.

Following August and Blue out into the open air, she took a deep breath.

Her cold, expressionless face softened—if only for a moment.

It had only been half a day, yet it felt like half a month.

Her entire world had turned upside down.

In just a few hours, she had gone from a Rocket executive to an International Police informant.

The thought sent a chill down her spine.

This had to remain completely classified.

If Team Rocket found out she had defected… the consequences would be unimaginable.

Taking a deep breath, she turned to August.

“What’s my mission?”

She knew August was calculating.

There was no way he had gone through all this trouble for nothing.

“Your mission?” August thought for a moment.

“For now, just track the progress of the Mewtwo Project.”

That was his biggest unknown right now—he had no way of knowing how far Team Rocket had come in creating Mewtwo.

With Sabrina’s help, he could time his approach accordingly.

Hearing this, Sabrina furrowed her brows slightly.

“Giovanni values the Mewtwo Project highly. If I push too hard, it’ll raise suspicion. I can only try to gather intel.”

Did she just stop calling him ‘Boss Giovanni’?

August smirked slightly but simply waved a hand dismissively.

“No rush. Just do what you can—your safety comes first.”

Sabrina paused.

She hadn’t expected him to be concerned about her well-being.

“By the way,” August continued, “Team Rocket should already be looking into the Masked Man in Johto, right?”

From the way she had reacted to Lt. Surge’s arrest, he had a strong suspicion that the so-called ‘Masked Man’ was his doing.

Sure enough, Sabrina nodded.

“The Four Generals have already found some leads.”

“Good. Keep an eye on that. If a fight breaks out, let me know.”

At that, Blue’s eyes lit up with interest.

She wanted to see that chaos unfold.

“As for the Gym evaluation,” August continued, “just tell Giovanni you passed and that you got some intel from me.”

“…What kind of intel?”

“Anything except [Mega Evolution] and the [Mind Plate]. Feel free to tell him anything else.”

[Mind Plate]…

Sabrina finally learned the name of that strange slab Gardevoir had.

After running through a few more security measures and setting up a direct contact line, August nodded.

“Alright. Head back to Saffron Gym before things get too suspicious.”

He trusted her.

Or at least, he trusted his countermeasures.

However—

To his surprise, Sabrina didn’t immediately leave.

Instead, she hesitated.

“Um…”

August raised an eyebrow. “What?”

Sabrina averted her gaze slightly, then finally spoke.

“…That Pokéblock from before… can I have another one?”

The moment the words left her mouth, her expression stiffened.

A faint, embarrassed blush crept onto her otherwise icy face.

August blinked.

Blue’s jaw dropped.

Sabrina… wanted more?!

After that reaction?!

Blue had found the experience mortifying just watching—she couldn’t believe Sabrina was actually asking for another one.

Didn’t expect this from you, Sabrina…
