Fuschia city, a new place for him to explore the man with dark green hair found himself standing at the very entrance of the city itself his hand reaching up to swipe away loose bangs of his hair that decided to linger in front of his crimson eyes, under orders of Cipher he was to come here to Kanto, and map out the landscape for any possible business ventures to further expand the organization. Viridian was first, however it was there where Tsurugi became a bit sidetracked he heard of a vicious battle that took place a few days ago between a woman in a black dress, and a man with features that fit those of his younger brother. Last he had heard of Bunji, the boy was in Lavaridge enjoying a normal life with some girlfriend he had, however it was soon after hearing about his younger brothers newfound love life, and what not that the boy vanished from the radar. It was not until recently that Tsurugi had come across his brother’s trail once more, like the concerned brother he was he had decided to seek out his brother find more information about him if possible. However for now he found himself here in Fuschia City, where he planned to find some information related to his job for Cipher, and not his personal agenda.
The man with the long yellow jacket, and the crimson eyes walked along the sidewalks of the city the night had already settled upon the environment casting shadows, and darkness upon the land. As a result the street lights lit up the city, providing artificial light for all to see, looking around the man tried to find anything he could around him to find some useful information for his business. ”Seem I wont find much of anything…at least not yet” he said to himself as he made himself comfortable on a nearby bench that rested on the sidewalk, not really minding that someone already was occupying the bench themselves. Reaching into his pocket the male would take out his pack of pocky sticks reaching in he would bite down on the vanilla flavored goodness of the stick, chewing it around in his mouth as he continued to eat the delicious delight.
”Excuse me miss” he said to the individual next to him finally acknowledging the woman, ”Are you a native of these parts? I only ask because I am in need of some directions” he explained along with the question, hoping the girl next to him could aid him with his little problem. The man had not put his crimson eyes upon the girl yet, instead he kept eating the pocky stick, unaware that the stranger he was interacting with, was none other than the girl Bunji told him about all those years ago.

She’d taken a break from all the information-gathering and decided to take a temporary stopover at Fuchsia City; and had plonked herself down on one of the park benches that were scattered around the city; she didn’t realize that she’d been sitting there for some time and that not only was the sky darkening (which caused the street lamps to flare into flickering life); she actually had company on that same bench, but hadn’t shifted her point of view to look at her companion. She had been staring at a point in the distance, pondering on just how to keep Bunji safe from “himself” when she heard someone ask her a question. Snapping out of her reverie, she then looked left, then right—her eyes found that someone had taken the opposite side of the bench; and had asked her for directions.
Deciding to humor him, she then replied, “I’m not from this area, but if you need directions… well, it depends on where you’re headed. I just got here recently too, you see, so I’m trying to familiarize myself with the surroundings as well,” she offered by way of explanation—and the first thought that popped into her head was, why the hell is he wearing a drab-looking hood? Does he even have some kind of fashion sense? While resisting the urge to snicker in his direction. She then sighed, and then said, “What brings you to Fuchsia City… it’s not that lively as it used to be,” she added, reaching for her back pocket and then extracting that same note pad and then flipping it open, attempting to read the notes scribbled within.
It would seem the companion on the bench would choose to grace him with an answer, however it was unfortunately for him a useless answer the girl was also new to the region it seemed the male would listen quietly as she admitted to trying to become more familiar with the surroundings of Kanto, something he himself was doing. Taking another bite of the pocky stick the man with crimson eyes kept his gaze focused upon the distant buildings, his mind hopping from thought to thought but overall his ears open to whatever the girl said to him. ”I’m a contractor, I travel regions looking for possible real estate that can be of use to my clients” he explained to the girl, it was a bold faced lie but he did so without even batting an eyelash the man was a professional liar after all it was part of his job as an information gatherer. The man would then have his attention taken away from the buildings, when the girl produced a notepad he watched as the pages where flipped over one by one until the girl happened to stop at a certain page, the man would briefly read over the contents, then his crimsons would widen with surprise at the contents of the very book.
It seemed this day was going to turn out to be a lot more interesting than he originally thought, the man would sit there waiting quietly for the woman to comment on what he had said, only then would he himself comment on the girls own presence here in Fuschia. ”So it would seem we find ourselves in the same boat miss, two strangers in a strange city, trying to get a feel of the land. Yet you seem quite captivated with the history of…if I read the name correctly Team Rocket was it?” he asked the girl, a tone of curiosity carrying his words. The man would now have those crimsons focused upon the girl with the amber eyes, a hand would reach up stopping for a handshake a few inches from the girl, ”Tsurugi is my name, Tsurugi Crosslove, and yours miss?” he said to her with a wide grin upon his features.

She heard her companion speak up, and then she could only sigh—was he originally asking for directions; or was he looking for someone to talk to? Now, she was no expert at telling if someone was lying; but the moment he’d mentioned Team Rocket, she stopped from her silent reading—and felt her own eyes widen out of surprise, how did he know what she was gathering information on Team Rocket?! She knew that only Leon (and to an extent, Kaname) knew her little ‘sideline’ of hunting for recent shreds of information about Team Rocket—had someone else found out about what she was doing; or was she just so painfully obvious? She then felt the note pad slip out of her hands and fall with a silent smacking noise against the bench; and then saw that an arm was being offered to her in a shake.
Should I, or shouldn’t… she began, when she heard this individual’s surname… at that moment her gaze suddenly turned into a full-on glower; how did this individual have his last name as well?! She only knew that Bunji was a “prodigal child”, literally adopted by the little town of Lavaridge (since she knew that his parents were gone, or no longer of this world) and then said, eyeing the hand just with the slightest hint of suspicion… “How do you have his last name?” she began, hinting at allusions that she knew someone else with the same surname as he did. And why the hell does this guy have such… drab taste in clothing? Bunji’s I understand… but this guy? She thought to herself as she quickly eyed it, before returning the gesture and introducing herself as well. “You can call me Izumi,” she said simply; if this guy had that (or at least pretended to know) surname, then he would at least know on some level who she was…
Unless my mind is playing tricks on me… she thought, quicky shelving that thought and watching for any more out of place reactions.
Giving the girl the handshake in return when she reached for his hand, the male would take note of her reaction the expressions upon her face, and the eyes that widened so far when he spoke only to turn into a sharp scowl the man had to admit this girl must have had some sort of deep seeded hate towards his brother, it was only when he heard her question that he would chuckle. Once their hands released the other he would bring it up to his face brushing away the bangs of green hair from his crimson eyes, ”How interesting, you are Izumi” he said to the girl with a low tone his eyes focused upon the girl no longer interested in looking around. He had found something far more interesting now, and it was sitting right in front of him with a casual manner the man leaned back onto the bench allowing his back to rest there for a minute, ”….so you know Bunji then?” he asked her allowing a moment of silence to come about when he paused after his question. He would allow for the unraveling of the situation to sink in, it was only then that he spoke again ”You fit the description well, he would tell me about you in his letters. About the girl with amber eyes, and a fiery attitude that matched the fiery battle prowess of Flannery herself. Truly I believed he would stay put there…but it seems you were unable to tame the Crosslove, then again it is never easy to tame a Crosslove” he said with a chuckle the words coming off more as arrogant than anything else.
The man would sit there for a moment allowing the girl time to say her piece, ”Then it is certain you are not even from Kanto, the name, the description it all fits, you are the Izumi I think you are. Meaning you may have some contact with Bunji?” he asked looking at the girl with curious crimsons, it was not very often that he got the chance to gaze upon the conquests of his younger brother, it seemed the boy had done well for himself snatching this one up. Just to add more shock value to the whole situation, or perhaps simply because he felt like it was a crucial piece of information his next words would surely rock the girl to her core, ”You are wondering how I know of you, and Bunji? Simple, I am his older brother” the tone which carried those words was so casual that it almost killed any shock value the revelation may have had.

She could only stare at this individual in surprise—how the hell did he know about Bunji…?! Her lips were moving but there was no sound coming out of it; and then she decided to answer the entire thing...or rather, most of it. “I knew him. Rather, the entirety of Lavaridge knows about him, and his crazy antics. He’d only come back recently from… from wherever Rocket had taken him,” she said, waving her other hand dismissively. She knew exactly the entire details—well most of the details he’d told her at least—and then it was at this point she noticed that instead of having the same red hair as Bunji, his hair was green—yet they had the same eyes. Is that really a trait of your family, Bunji? she thought to herself, before answering the rest of his questions.
“Contact? Well… what makes you ask if I’ve seen him lately?” she began with some suspicion in her voice; not sure if this guy was stalking her as she was tailing him—and then he said something that made her stand up and go over to where he sat like a king; albeit in a very lazy manner. “W-what. You… you’re his brother?!” she blurted out, looking at him. Sure, there’s a resemblance with the eyes… but how can he have a brother?! He only told me about his parents… she thought, her mind suddenly awhirl. After several seconds of potentially awkward silence, she then voiced out what was on her mind…
“He… he never told us of any other family except his parents. Mother died while he was young, father just simply up and disappeared. So how sure are you that you’re his brother?! What if you’re just faking it…” she trailed off, quickly backing away, her right hand going deep into her pocket and clenching around one of the six Pokeballs she carried with her.
”Team Rocket?” he echoed the girls words when she mentioned his brothers allegiance with the organization, was Bunji still with them? The thought would not be allowed to linger for very long in his head seeing as the girl was quick to throw a barrage of questions towards him, so it would seem Bunji never truly mentioned him, hm how interested this was to Tsurugi. The male would sit there in a very relaxed manner, not even flinching when the woman approached him only tilting his head as he snapped at him with a tone of confusion, and suspicion of course. However when he saw her reach for one of her Pokeballs he raised a hand with the universal gesture for ‘stop’, ”No need for such fuss Izumi, I will happily explain what I can to clear all this up for you. So why not just sit, and relax as you were?” he said with a rather charming smile upon his features. Whether the girl chose to sit or not he would continue with his dialogue aiming to give Izumi the information to clarify this big mess his little brother had made, ”I am Bunji’s older brother, the eyes my dear they are a trait of our family. More dominant in males, than females though our females mainly have striking sapphire eyes as oppose to the crimsons, however I left our family when I was old enough to be a trainer, since then I have become a salesman of real estate leaving behind the ways of the Pokemon trainer, focusing more on my career. Although I do carry Pokemon for protection, trust me dear I am a horrible trainer” he said to her with a chuckle, making himself seem weak, and insignificant was always his game. At least this way he could manipulate the girl into settling down, perhaps even get comfortable around him if she believed herself more powerful than him.
”Now the reason why I ask about my brother is, that I recently came across a crater ear Viridian City, rumors down the grapevine spoke of a red haired male in a cloak engaging with a woman whom had raven black hair, and a black dress…so seeing as you are the famous Izumi, that my brother was head over heels for I only believed it safe to assume you kept contact with him” he admitted with that harmless smile on his features, and another chuckle slipping between his slightly parted lips. ”….however my dear, you did mention Team Rocket, and my brothers involvement with them. Now I do not mean to pry, but is this information recent? In fact your little notepad from what I skimmed over when you had it so carelessly open in your hands, I read the name Team Rocket on there. Is that information by any chance for Bunji?” he asked her all with curious tone, those crimsons of his focusing upon the features of Izumi, if there was one thing Tsurugi was good at it was sniffing out liars.

“You better be sure about that,”she growled once she’d seen him hold up his hands in the universal “don’t hit me” pose; and then resumed her seat on the opposite side of the bench as he began telling her something about himself—but what was this; why was she doubting around half the words he’d said? Her eyebrows began to rise, and they had reached the point where they were arched so high, they threatened to be swallowed by her own hairline if they just kept on going. “Horrible? Pfft, I wouldn’t think so, Bunji’s a beast when it comes to battling… so maybe you’re just as talented as he is too,” she said simply, staring at the same eyes that she was so used to seeing on the red-headed individual.
This time, however, the one staring back at her had green hair; and she could only wonder how that could have happened. At the mention of the ‘crater’, her face darkened, before the beginning of a scowl crept across her lips—and then she realized that she’d left the notepad open to the world! Wondering just how the hell this guy was able to read her Waitress’ shorthand penmanship, she then let the scowl bloom on her face as she turned to look at him straight in the eye, before quickly attempting to snatch the notepad away. “What I do and what I look at is none of your business…” she trailed off, her voice getting edgy at one point. “Do you think I’d share what I’ve discovered to someone whom I just met…?” she continued, maintaining that fierce glare in her eyes.
The man could not help but chuckle as the girl spoke of how well his brother battled, so it seemed Bunji was making a name for himself here in Kanto eh? Truly this day was getting more interesting the more time passed, however it would seem that the girl was not fully convinced she was putting up a very solid defense he had to get around. Leaning back into his chair the man stared at the girl as she gave him that intimidating glare, it made him visibly nervous seeing as he chuckled with a shaky tone, and raised his hands in surrender still playing the weakling card. ”Now now, there is no need to be so aggressive truly I am just concerned for my brothers wellbeing.” he would pause for a minute as the clever trickster’s head put together the next words carefully, he needed to drop this furious girls guard otherwise he was going to meet opposite form her at every corner. Finally deciding what he was going to say the man would give himself a moment to clear his throat before saying, ”…time to be honest, Izumi I am not a salesman, I am here looking for Bunji. I left home because I wanted to better myself, as such I joined an academy in Kanto it was known as the school of hard knocks by many. A rough training program, it was from there that I sent the first letters to Bunji, he got me through the school, always rooting me on…” the mans previous demeanor had vanished slowly replaced by a more serious, and genuinely emotional vibe as his story went along. ”…in the end I graduated, and joined the police. I became an officer, at this very moment I am undercover here in Kanto trying to see if the rumors of Team Rockets return are true, you mentioned my brother has ties to them? I need you to help me, Izumi please we can save Bunji together, and prevent Team Rocket from rising again” this time the man spoke with great passion in his tone, looking at the girl his eyes filled with hope would the girl help?
The man sat there in silence giving the woman time to absorb his story, the man was a liar this entire story despite the passion he showed, the hope that showed in his eyes, and his overall newfound demeanor, and everything was a lie. Tsurugi is a member of Cipher, the man was here to do other things but any information he could find on enemy competitors was more than welcomed in his eyes, besides he was sure Scarlet would love to hear about Team Rocket, that is of course IF they were really active as the rumors claimed. Needless to say his curiosity had been peaked now, he was interested in what he could squeeze out of Izumi whether she was an encyclopedia of information, or just knew next to nothing it did not matter a lead was a lead after all.

Izumi knew that her immediate defensive front would deter him from any initial “interrogation tactics”; and was secretly glad that she knew how to assert herself in front of any person. She then looked at him and almost chuckled as he mentioned “the school of hard knocks” and then went on about how he’d gone on his own merry way into the world; and then he finally got to his objective—about why he was here in the first place. Police? Still sounds fishy to me… what with Bunji’s reputation for causing more trouble than he can control, she thought with a scoffing noise. After some silence, she chose her words carefully, before speaking;
“What you heard is correct—he was affiliated with Rocket at some point. Right now, he’s just a lone man, with an insane ambition, trying to take down an entire system by his lonesome…and it’s just stupid of him to even try and do it, because he’s risking his own life in order to do what he wants,” she said in one go, resisting the urge to roll her eyes to the heavens because of Bunji’s hard-headedness. She didn’t want to admit that she wasn’t getting nowhere with the search for more information—as it was difficult enough looking for more recent news about Team Rocket in the known grapevines and rumor mills… she then hissed out of displeasure, and then looked him over once more.
“Why did you just suddenly appear? What exactly do you have in mind? Are you going to chase him down, or do you have your own agenda…” she trailed off, eyeing him with some suspicion still present in her demeanor at the moment. You never know what could happen… so it’s best to tread on the safe side… she thought as she waited for him to answer.
So the girl spilled some info after all, from what he gathered his brother had been once a member of Team Rocket, and in the end he quit them? He wondered why he would do that, also the woman with the black dress that Bunji battled in Viridian was she also a Rocket? The man would tap his chin as his mind held up all the pieces of the puzzle that had been presented to him, the man really had a lot of holes to fill, and so much more information to gather but then again it kept his mind preoccupied so he had no complaints. Tapping his chin some more he lowered his hand when the girl continued to speak, her tone showed obvious distaste for his brothers actions, but also a series of questions were fired his way which he deemed to be normal the more questions he answered perhaps the more comfortable the girl could become, allowing him to get more information from her. ”Well now, I do agree with you there. It seems my little brother is causing up quite the storm of trouble, which I have to admit is somewhat disappointing. When he would tell me about how happy you made him, I would’ve thought the two of you would have stayed together in Lavaridge…” the male paused as he brought the pocky back up to his mouth biting off another piece. The male allowed the vanilla coated treat to melt in his mouth as he chewed on the cookie bit of it, moving it all around in his mouth, the man would swallow just before turning his attention back to the girl.
”I told you, I am part of a special police unit that is throwing a full-fledged investigation against the rumors of Team Rockets supposed return, however now I am suspecting that it is not rumors. I mean you mentioned Bunji is or well was part of them, and is currently hunting them down no? This means that they do exist, now all I need is concrete proof that they are around, take it to my superiors, and we can bring the fury of the law down upon them. Stamp out this little problem before they grow…” taking another bite from the pocky stick the man would again savor the artificial flavoring of the vanilla on his taste buds. His mind continued to throw around ideas, and thoughts that seemed to trouble the man, he had to get information for his organization, AND carry on this façade of being a cop now, and also he had to find more information on Team Rocket. The man would finish off the rest of the pocky, before looking over at Izumi once again, his stunning crimsons settling upon her features ”You know something Izumi, if we work together we can tackle Bunji down, get him out of harms way, and I can get the information I need…do you by any chance know anything about, the crater in Viridian? They say Bunji battled a woman in a black dress” the man’s eyes shined with intrigue, as he waited for the girl to hopefully give him a good answer.

“Right,” she said, deliberately drawing out the emphasis and intonation on the word that he’d muttered just now; she was secretly wondering if she would still believe him—because if he was a member of the police, then he’d have shown her a badge, or something similar to identification at this point in time. She could only sigh at his next words—also, was it her imagination or did they sound alike…?! She then looked at him; before saying, “Well… he’s gone off the deep end, that’s what,” she began, before looking at the ground once more. “I only stopped following him temporarily because I have to check out something here in Fuchsia City… I’m chasing down any lead I can find, no matter how small it is,” she ended.
He’s just hell-bent on taking them down single-handedly. He’s insane, she thought, shaking her head at the dreadful images that were now dancing in front of her field of vision—who knew that he would be so much trouble to keep an eye on? She then sighed, before looking at him again—and hen saying, “If you even think of planning something stupid… I’m going to chase after you, and make sure you take full responsibility for whatever actions you would take against him,” she said, the threat clearly evident in her voice—had she just given away one of her greatest weaknesses to someone she’d only met?! Who knew what was going on in Tsurugi’s mind at this point; but what was on hers was that she needed to protect Bunji from himself.
The man would not be able to contain his chuckle that escaped from his smiling lips, he could feel the intense suspicion coming from this girl despite his story she was really doubting him wasn’t she? But then again could he truly blame her? He was after all a complete stranger that had appeared out of nowhere, sat on a bench, and began making outlandish claims that would surely bring about suspicion, however Tsurugi was not one to break under pressure. He would instead maintain his persona, with the following dialogue the man would surely only further to solidify his lie ”So my brother has stepped further into the abyss eh? He always was unstable, his mindset at least was never a stable on…to be honest I am not very surprise” the man pushed up from the bench allowing himself to rise up to be upright. The man would reach up placing his hand on his chin, as if allowing himself to be lost in deep thought, his false mask remained on but what was genuine was the concern for his younger brother, the man had to admit he was worried about Bunji he did not know what to say or do about this. Lowering his hand from his chin he would turn to face the woman that sat on the bench while he stood, ”…we need to try our best to not only find Bunji, but intercept him. You will never accomplish anything by following him, if he is as smart as I suspect him to be the only reason you still know where he is, and are tailing him is because he’s letting you” he explained to the girl hoping not to offend her in anyway. She had done a good job at tailing Bunji, and a good job at gathering information on the organization known as Tea Rocket, with what he had gathered he would soon report back to Scarlet letting her known of all these interesting little bits of info.
”Try something?....What you mean like betray you? Oh don’t be silly I would never, I am just a humble officer of the law, charged with keeping the peace. I assure you Izumi my intentions here are sincere, I only want to help in the best way possible to bring about some peace to this chaotic world” his words carried by a false tone of sincerity, the man would reach out towards Izumi holding his hand out for her to shake once more, but this time it was not for a greeting. ”I know what Bunji must mean to you, perhaps your romantic past is what ties you to this obligation you feel you have to protect him, or perhaps there is something more. I do not know, but what I do know is that together we can do a far better job at helping Bunji, than alone…so let’s put our heads together, and get this done eh?” he said to the girl waiting for her to take his hand.

“Further? You… you’ve been watching him, haven’t you?” she began, still looking at him with a very careful eye. She was taking great care not to lower her guard too much, because it would prove to be a disaster if ever she let something slip that would turn to be Bunji’s greatest downfall. His next words made her eyebrows go up very slowly at first, and gained height the more he continued. They were now back at that same height she’d gotten them accustomed to whenever she was listening to something incredibly incredulous… “What. I doubt that. He needs someone to save his ungrateful ass every once in a while, you know,” she said, re-folding her arms across her chest once more—before he drew himself up to full height and then offered his “services” (if it was a service) to her.
Right… she thought in the back of her mind, still not trusting some of what Tsurugi was saying… because for him to turn up and suddenly reveal details about Bunji was just… too… perfect. She then decided to take this with a grain of salt and then sighed, before muttering, “You don’t even know the half of it…” before considering the hand that was poised in front of her. There was no way in hell she was going to get bossed around…besides, only a few people got that privilege, one of them being the red-headed headache. “I’ll be watching you, all the same,” she continued before taking his proffered hand—while still harboring her suspicions about this individual in front of her. It’s all too good to be true… she continued to herself as she shook on it; but all the same she’d still keep an eye on this green-haired version who possessed the same crimson eyes…
Shaking her hand in return the man with the crimson eyes would smile at the girl as the two shook each other’s hands, then released the other form their grasps with that Tsurugi would slip his hands into his pockets ”Now, on a more casual note what do you say we get us some food eh? My treat?” he said to the girl hoping she would accept his offer. All the while his mind raced with several ideas trying to figure out just how he would go about getting this girl on his side, despite the fact that she shook his hand he still had that gut feeling that the trust between them was next to none existent the man had to find a way around this strong wall she had put up. Waiting for Izumi to take his offer, and hopefully stand from the bench he would turn his eyes off in the direction of the far off buildings that adorned either side of the street, it was not as lively here as it may have once been but there was bound to be a place open to get some food in them. ”I haven’t been watching him by the way, I just know him always have. He is my blood after all, I have a kinship with the boy, he is my brother I need to know him like I know myself…I am genuinely worried about him though, despite the hate he harbors for me…” the man said the last bit with a tone that weighed his words with regret, with a sigh the man’s grin would fade replaced by an expression of genuine concern.
His mind all the while was filled with thoughts of the past, the mistakes he had made so long ago, the end result of those mistakes as well the man could only shake his head as his eyes closed themselves shut ”Another thing about Crosslove men? We tend to abandon people we care, because we feel its best to take on crazy tasks all alone…hah…we are a wild bunch” he said more to himself than the girl as he sighed once more. With both hands still in his pocket, and his crimson eyes focused upon the distance the man found himself waiting for Izumi to give him an answer to his offer, in the meantime his mind preoccupied with wondering thoughts of his brothers wellbeing.
