Before arriving in Celadon you have been given quite the briefing. Your main job is to either
A) Convince the gym leader of Celadon to join Team Rocket. B) Establish yourself as the new gym Leader of Celadon or C) Working within the gym find a puppet trainer to place as gym leader after you drive the other out/ make the other disappear.
You were given no specifics on how you were to accomplish this, only the implication that it was a more delicate and somewhat dangerous job since it involves a league established trainer/location and could bring trouble if things started to go south. High risk brings high reward though, and you've been informed the rewards here are indeed great.

Adriana sighed as she stretched out, it had been a fairly long ride and she felt cramped. Though as she twisted in place, she glanced at Kamille. "So, grass gym huh? Well, as much as I'd like to just march in and put the screws to this Erika lady, I doubt any established gym leader is gonna buckle like that," She said, having a mental image of Drayden choke slamming some poor Rocket grunt for even thinking about doing something like that. It was a hilarious mental image, but one that brought caution to her until they knew more about Erika. "Maybe we should track down some info first? I mean, can't hurt to learn more about this Erika, see if there's anything we can use as leverage," Adriana said as she rubbed the back of her head looking to her smaller wife, looking to see if she agreed with her thought process.

Kamille flashed Adriana a beautiful smile, she knew her wife was dangerous as hell but it was such a turn on when her intelligence shown through. She gave a little nod, looping an arm though Adriana's as she clung to her partners side. Speaking low so others don't hear her she began to head into Celadon with a smile, heading for the pokecenter.
"Daddy's probably cleared my warrant by now and I doubt we're high enough risk to send out warrants to Kanto. Let's pose as trainers preparing to go for the grass badge, not that hard to do after all. Trainers always ask around about gym leaders, they're usually gossips. I doubt we'll find any serious information in the pokecenter, but we may find leads on who to talk to. Yea?"
Kamille looked more pleased to be on Adriana's arm then to succeed at the mission, but both would be nice. Maybe a bit of notoriety would get them a room with a nice bed like Kamille was used to, her body was used to the finer things in life and she expected to continue to live in the lap of luxury when able. Team Rocket should provide if they kept succeeding.

The Celadon gym seems to have gone under some renovations from the original conservatory like build, adding a few additions to itself such as a spa area and organic/natural remedy and beauty products vendor. A few of the employed trainers stand outside distributing coupons and flyers advertising the gyms wares. one of them spots the two of you and smiles before approaching.
"Hi there, welcome to the Celadon gym! We have a wide selection of products all extracted and harvested right here in the gym's personal conservatory, as well a fully serviceable spa guaranteed to make your body feel years younger."

Kamille let out a squeal of delight hearing about the spa and took the pamphlets, leaning back against Adriana with a grin as she began flipping through the little booklet of information on the Celadon gym. Oh this just became SUCH a good idea. Yes, absolutely yes. "Oh my gosh this is awesome, I haven't had a spa day in like a month. We totally should after we consider challenging the gym leader. But we've got to do research on her first, I found the littlest things about a leaders personality, hobbies, relationships... they give advice on how she battles and tests her challengers. Can you tell us what you know about her? Every little thing.... Pretty please!"Kamille let out a pretty pout at the lady handing out flyers that she often used to devastating effect on Adriana. The light shades she wore only seemed to enhance the look as they dipped down to show off her big red eyes.

Adriana let out a snort of laughter at Kamille's squeal. She honestly wasn't sure if she was playing it up or if she actually was excited because a spa day was just the kind of thing her princess would love. Still, she casually read over Kamille's shoulder, one arm wrapped around the smaller woman. The corners of her mouth turned up as she began to lay on the charm though. It was absolutely adorable when she got all manipulative like this to get her way. Plus, it was a far easier method of information gathering than what Adriana would use, and far less noticeable.

The young trainer blushed, not expecting the look she was seeing on the rather high class looking woman before her.
"Uhmm. w.well Ms Erika has always loved the resilience of Grass types. Even as more and more Pokemon were discovered she remained true to her beliefs. If you're looking to face her I'm sure you'll be surprised by her highly endurable Pokemon."

Kamille pouted quietly at the answer, carefully skimming the guide. She didn't expect the girl handing out pamphlets to honestly have much of an idea, but she had hoped for more then that. Friends, family, people who might have dirt on her. That said... huh.
"Wow, it must be so cool that she managed to become leader on her own. Was there any other potential gym leaders fighting for the spot, or was it all Erika?"
An old rival was usually pretty eager to spill secrets about her rivals flaws, so perhaps that would work for her in this situation. Hopefully. Only one way to find out it seems.

Adriana chuckled softly at Kamille's pout, but more at the trainer's flustered reaction. And her Princess already had the girl wrapped around her fingers, it always amused her watching her wife work. It wasn't her expertise, but damn if it wasn't a marvel to watch how she wound and twisted people to her will with just words and a few choice looks. But she definitely appreciated it, as Adriana's way of getting information was far more direct, loud and messy. And they needed to keep this fairly quiet if they were to succeed to the satisfaction of their bosses. So for now she'd let Kamille take the lead and see where it lead them.

"Well, some have thought to challenge her for the spot, but no one here have the heart or courage to do so. We love her as our leader and as such she has a high spot in our hearts. She's very kind to even new trainers who come to face her, and her battles always elegant." The trainer seems lost in thought before snapping out of it. "Oh yes, sorry. If anything I hope she can retire peacefully. Sometimes it seems like she cares to much about us more then herself and her well being."

Kamille smiled brightly at the sweet girl, as if she found the idea absolutely heartwarming. She now knew exactly what Erika valued the most, her underlings. Honestly though she respected that, even if it was a gym rather then something shadier she knew that protecting the people you cared about most was always a good sign of a persons character. And that they'd stick to any agreement they made. She looked first left then right and leaned in whispering conspiratorially to the flyer girl. "So..... She sounds amazing, but just between us I have family in a plant nursery up in Kalos. I don't wanna make any promises but I was thinking I might try to set them up with business. Are there any plants or herbs or grass types Erika is just going wild to find but can't? I don't wanna get her hopes up if I can't come through, she seems way too sweet for that."
Kamille had leaned in dangerously close, one hand lovingly grasping Adriana's arm but definitely in the girls personal space with her wide eyed look and playful smile, hoping to coax out any information she could about what kind of things Erika wanted for herself or her gym.

Adriana smiled widely, rubbing Kamille's head gently, almost like praising the woman for her kindness. But in truth they both knew it was her uncovering a weak point they could pressure that pleased Adriana. She was more than happy to try the carrot first, as Kamille seemed want to do. But if push came to shove, Adriana had no problem being the stick needed to get this resolved in their favor. She laughed good naturedly as Kamilled continued to press the woman for information, "Now now dear, no trying to bribe the Gym the leader with your family's plants before we have a chance to try our hand at the badge." There was a teasing, lighthearted tone to her voice, obviously joking at the moment. Plus she hoped adding a little humor would help to sell the over eager couple asking questions about the local gym leader.

Turning a shade of tomato the young trainer responded, "W..well shes been interested in one of those cherry type Pokemon from the Sinnoh region I think originally." It was clear she wasn't sure where the Cherium was from but she seemed to know what she was talking about at least.

As much as Adriana enjoyed pokemon, she couldn't tell you every pokemon by name or region where it was first found. So while Kamille talked with the young trainer, she pulled out her own pokedex and searched through it for the pokemon that the trainer was mentioning. With a little grin at finding it, she showed the pokedex to Kamille, though she might not need it. It wasn't some extremely rare thing as far as she could tell. "You know, we might have some friends who might have one of those, don'cha think Princess?" She said with a smile, Team Rocket wanted this to happen, so she doubted they'd care about parting with a single pokemon to help grease the wheels to keep this whole thing going smoothly.

Kamille flashed the red woman a bright smile but leaned back as Adriana got her attention, considering the pokemon on the pokedex shown her. It definitely didn't seem too rare or hard to find, just a bit region locked. Easy to import or steal with the right connections. She gave a little nod, tracing a finger over the cute little cherry thing. She still preferred her Angel but she could see the appeal to others.
"Yea, I'll send a text now to see if they have any for trade. Thanks so much for your help miss, I think its time we checked out the gym and maybe the spa. You make this Erika sound so amazing I can't wait to meet her."
Pulling out her own pokedex she sent off a message without much ado, stating they may need a cherubi as she waved politely to the girl before heading into the gym. She doubted their contact would know offhand if the team had any spare or could get them easily but it was worth asking for sure as she lead Adriana into the gym. Time to look around before meeting Erika.

The gym looked like a mall in layout inside. A fountain in the middle and shrubbery lining the halls. Skylights keep themselves open to the rays above giving the whole place a warm and cozy feeling.

Kamille wasn't in a rush per say to get straight to Erika, but she also didn't want to dilly dally too much lest Adriana get restless. She knew her wife was willing to let her take the lead, but if the taller woman got bored all bets were off. And so she moved casually through the gym, taking her time as she paid attention and most importantly listened in. You could hear a lot of gossip by staying quiet and walking around, least of which was the route to talk to Erika without an official gym battle. And if all else was said and done, she'd look for a receptionist. She could probably flirt a fake business meeting out of them. "Mmmm I do so love mid-sized towns, people here are so... chatty."

Adriana purred in delight at the natural lighting from the skylights. She didn't begrudge artificial lighting or anything, but she enjoyed the warm rays of sunshine on her skin. Even if she was naturally darker skinned, she loved to layout in the sun in nearly, or sometimes actually in, nothing. She understood immediately what her partner was planning as Kamille tugged her along around the gym. Taking in the shops and plants and other things were only as it allowed them to listen in on other trainers and employee's to see if they could overhear any juicy info or gossip. But if nothing else, if they wanted to get some one on one time, or rather two on one time, with Erika, if nothing else she could take a more common route. Challenge Erika to a gym battle, and though it would sting her pride some, she could throw the match and ask for some private advice afterwords. Grinning to Kamille she nodded as she leaned down, placing a kiss to the top of the woman's head lovingly, "Agreed love."

As you walk along the Gyms interior you hear the others around you continue to chatter about any and everything. One group about boys, the other about makeup and the salon, even a few on Pokemon
"Oh my gosh, did you see Erika's Vileplume? It's grown so much, what do you think she uses on it?" "I don't have any clue but I love her new Tangela, it' the one she got from that trainer who visited from Hoeen." "Oh the guy with that plant fossil thing, yeah I remember that."

Kamille walked slowly on Adriana's arm, a slow pace specifically so she could listen to the trainers in the area as she enjoyed the pretty view. There was a reason she had chosen a greenhouse of a gym to target after all, the spa was only an immensely added bonus. She kept her back straight and her head tilted against Adriana's arm as she lead her large lover to the front desk with a soft smile. "Hi, I was wondering if Erika took meetings to discuss business opportunities and trades? My wife and I are in town and figured we'd talk to her about this weird cherry pokemon we found on vacation."
Kamille put on a bright smile, so sweet it seemed sugar wouldn't melt in her mouth. She was still waiting for a response from her pokedex and the higher ups about a list of if they had said cherry pokemon in storage to offer as a bribe, something she had made sure was already sent out. But really she just needed a private meeting with Erika so they could talk without hanger-ons, and she had the bait she needed to get it.
