Nate was a scientist, a sadistic one at that. He often enjoyed seeing others' pain, and he did so now. Taking a disinfected syringe, he injected some sort of green liquid into it. Walking over to one of the cages consisting of just steel bars, he faced a harmless-looking Shinx. It cowered in fear, as it had seen what he had done to the other creatures. Since they were becoming a waste and no one, not even the grunts wanted such a weakling, Nate considered this a sort of early spring cleaning. Some extra research, if you will.
The Shinx backed up, quickly reaching the end of the small cage, with no where else to hide. As a last resort, it tried to charge up electricity in it's fur, if any physical contact was done to the creature. However instead it was sent back into the creature, giving more of a shock than it had intended for Nate.
"Hmph, it's best for you that you're gotten rid of. If not, you'd be put through worse experiments. Hypno, use Hypnosis, if you will," Nate said. Instantly, the Hypno that was behind him, moved infront of him and with a simple movement of the hand, the Shinx was instantly unaware of it's surroundings. It's eyes a dull grey now, the Shinx just stopped moving, unless for breathing. The Hypno then moved back as Nate stepped in. Putting a hand through the steel bars, he held the needle and injected it into the Shinx's neck.
"Give it a half a hour, and hopefully it'll be put out of it's misery under the trance, or this serum will actually work. Come back, Hypno," Nate told his Pokemon, before having it transform into a bright red light that traced back to a red and white sphere. He had lied though, about the last part. The serum was one of the few used to put down some of the Pokemon he just didn't like. The Shinx was overly active on it's own and made the small laboratory given to him, one of the loudest places he would rather not deal with due to the Shinx's attempt to chat with the once remaining Pokemon, and the want to just gain attention. One of the Elites had even told him, that the Shinx was an annoyance they don't want around. So he had decided it was time.
"ATTENTION ALL TEAM ROCKET MEMBERS! REPORT TO THE MEETING ROOM IMMEDIATELY FOR A BRIEFING AS WELL AS TO RECEIVE YOUR NEW MISSION ASSIGNMENTS," the deep voice of Giovanni yelled over the intercom. As soon as it was over, the intercom made a small beep and Nate proceeded to leave the laboratory, but not before locking it first. It was best not to angry any of his superiors yet, and locking his laboratory prevented any of the sneakier grunts and elites from sneaking in, peaking or even stealing his research. With some members of the Rockets, there was much distrust. He was one that often was the target of this, mostly from the grunts who didn't know how Team Rocket actually worked.
Done with his research, Nate had proceeded down the narrow hall his room was located in, and headed towards the meeting room. Important missions from Giovanni himself haven't been assigned in years. It would be a good opportunity to learn about new Pokemon, as well.
