Meanwhile, back at Team Rocket HQ, Dr. Miles Zeigler sat in his cramped office, peering over various reports. He then looked over at his watch and rose from his seat to lock the door so that no one would disturb him. He picked up what appeared to be a bluetooth earpiece and inserted it his ear. Once he pressed the button at the center rim, he "transported" to what appeared to be a grotto complete with waterfall and ferns growing overhead. Technically speaking, he was physically in his office but the earpiece was in fact a psionic transmitter invented by the faction of Team Galactic led by Saturn. It was connected to an array of psychic Pokemon that acted as the "switchboard" that allowed for untraceable communication with his REAL superior.
"Greetings, Dr. Zeigler," a heavily muscular man with Asiatic features with a thin beard and mustache. He wore a black slacks and a partially unbuttoned shirt that revealed his biceps. He was Archie, late of Team Aqua and now leader of Team Gaia, "I trust you can provide us with information during Team Rocket's plans."
"Only a little," Miles said, "Team Rocket sent agents to observe Mewtwo. One of our agents in Celadon reported overhearing a unidentified trainer attempting agitate some trainers at Fuchsia City Pokemart after a combined earthquake and psychic discharge damaged the Pokemon Center and surrounding areas. Giovanni claims that he is brainwashing a trainer called Lexi Shanks and a small group of trainers that includes the leader of the Celadon City gym."
"Hmmm," Archie murmured, "I doubt Giovanni would really be concerned for the welfare of an anonymous trainer. Tell our agent in Fuchsia to continue monitoring the situation, but do not intervene unless necessary. We need to strike when Team Rocket makes its move."
"Yes sir," Miles said before he heard a knock. He pulled the transmitter from his ear and slipped it into his coat pocket before he opened the door (and was quietly thankful that he was transmitting his thoughts so no one could hear his conversation) to see who it was.
"Hello?"
