"If you do, then I'll be able to grant something for you too." Captain Briney answered.
"But why would this... Team Anarchy... be stealing an old man's flag?" Yuuka asked, thinking what Sherry was thinking. "Their name sounds so silly. Team Anarchy? Really?"
"Silly name or not, they're prevalent in almost all regions known in this world." Captain Briney sighed as he fed Peeko with a handful of Pokeblocks. "They wreak havoc across everywhere, and they can't seem to be weeded out easily."
"So them taking the flag is just their act of... vandalism?" Yuuka hypothesized, to which Captain Briney nodded.
"My flag is a large orange cloth with a central crest that has a picture of my darling Peeko drawn on it. I hope I can get it back soon... otherwise, my spirit will not allow me to sail anymore."

Sherry offered a soft smile and nodded.
"Don't worry, we'll get that flag back."
The agent turned back to Yuuka as her expression hardened with determination. Claire fluttered and chirped as she reorientated herself on the agent's shoulder.
"I've run into this Team Anarchy before, or at least one crook who said he was with them. Little concern for anyone, it seems. Our pokemon may be in for a fight, or we could be as well." Sherry glanced at the door out of the building, already itching to go out and take care of the mission. "I hope you can defend yourself. Who knows what we'll find in Rustboro if there's a hideout there."
Sherry offered a soft smile and nodded.

Sherry did not detect that Yuuka was lying, so she left the issue alone. She had the utmost confidence in her own abilities as an agent, figuring that her agility and small stature could get her out of bad situations while her kicks could give her some breathing room. Getting into fights with living, breathing human beings didn't sit right with her after going toe-to-toe with C-Virus infectees, but she was prepared to do what she could if push came to shove. Besides, she didn't want to pick any fights here in the first place. It seemed to be such a peaceful world, this world of Pokemon. There wasn't even a gun to be found, and Sherry had looked high and low for one.
With another sympathetic look towards the old sailor, Sherry and Claire exited the building and took down the path to Petalburg woods with Yuuka. As she walked, she couldn't help but feel her curiosity rise. So, she acted upon it.
"Where are you from, Yuuka?" she asked. "What do you do?"

Would Yuuka tell Sherry the truth? Hell no, her being a Youkai is going to antagonize everyone.
"I'm a flower shop owner from Japan." Yuuka stacked the cards; told the truth but only half the truth. Kappa on her shoulder fidgeted as Claire the Taillow pecked at his lotus leaf hat.

"Claire, don't peck at people without permission," Sherry scolded as she shooed Claire back onto her other shoulder. She rubbed her back and tried to come up with something to say herself. "Flower shop owner? Yeah, I guess so. I'm uh... A student from Raccoon City in North America. Yeah."
The agent cringed at her own lie, but it got the job done (no it didn't). Unbeknownst to most people Sherry Birkin was the best liar to have ever lived (no she wasn't). Should her position become compromised, she could always rely on her wit and charm to get herself out of a bad situation (bumble around and look adorably helpless). Basically, she was the very model of a charismatic femme fatale (i.e. guilty puppy with an unloaded handgun). She sighed and turned back to the road, thankful that she didn't drive herself to relive Raccoon City again (or remember Leon's driving skills).

Yuuka didn't pick up on Sherry's half-lie. This was good! She breathed a covert sigh of relief at having dodged a bullet there. Explaining Raccoon City and her inner virus was not something she wanted to do, especially with a woman she barely knew. Jake was an exception, as he and Sherry were forced together and had to rely on each other, and they could not do that while keeping things from each other.
"No, I don't doubt you. Japan's a big place, so you knowing your stuff about flowers is certain," Sherry replied. She looked over to the group of young boys and offered Claire a spot to battle. "Another battle? Well... I suppose I could make the time."
Claire the Taillow swooped down and hovered in front of her trainer, ready to fight once again.

"Go, Shroomish!"
"Go, Poochyena!"
The young boys sent out another set of what looked to be a common, everyday type of Pokemon. Sure, Kappa the Lotad and Claire the Taillow were also seen often, but not as often as those two.
Shroomish Lv: 4
Poochyena Lv: 4
"So where was I?" Yuuka went on, not caring too much about the battle at hand. It was either if Yuuka did not care about her Pokemon, or that she trusted her Pokemon enough to let them do whatever they think is the best move. Seemed like the latter was the truer case, as Kappa began to single-handedly scare the enemy Shroomish until the Shroomish fainted. "Oh yeah, so tell me about this Team Anarchy. They sound like a bunch of phonies to me, but what do they do exactly? Do you know?"

The Shroomish looked like some sort of turnip, or a mushroom in Sherry's eyes. As far as she could tell, most pokemon had an appearance based on their type, so the fact that the Shroomish was a mushroom-looking creature gave way to the idea that it was a grass type. Grass types were weak to fire and ice, but were they weak to flying types? Sherry wanted to know that, so she sent out Claire to do some testing.
It seemed that the Taillow's pecks didn't do much against the Shroomish, and besides, it was being attacked by the Lotad already. Sherry directed Claire to swoop down and attack the hyena-looking puppy pokemon and watched as the little bird harassed it. A trainer knew when to utilize different strengths, but Sherry was just starting out. She figured that she could use Claire's speed and tenacity to disorient opponents before sending in her muscle, Mac, to finish the job. As she looked on at the battle, she heard Yuuka's question ringing in her ears.
"I don't know much, to be honest," she replied with a cringe when she saw Claire take a hit on her side. "I believe they just stir trouble, but there's a means to their madness. There's just gotta be, because one member stole some data from Devon Corp. and wounded a researcher in the process. I don't have enough on them to come up with anything good, and I really don't want to find out if they use guns or not."
