01 $$ [video/action for Rocket base]

Excuse me!

[ A man with a long white ponytail and an immaculately tailored (though unusually green) suit graces your PokéGear screen this morning. He appears rather put out, for some reason. ]

I demand to know who is in charge here! I ask that you kindly return me to where I came from! I'm a very busy man, and I don't appreciate being... kidnapped, or whatever it is you've done to me!

[ He pauses, takes a breath, and smooths down the front of his suit. ]

Whoever you are, it is in your best interest to release me before my employees get here. [ His lip curls. ] And if you were going to go so far as to provide me with clothes, you might at least have made them a bit more fashionable. How you expected me to wear those rags...

[ Having said his piece, he reaches for the Gear, presumably to turn it off, when a long green snout comes abruptly into view, sniffing inquisitively. His Snivy's curious about the lighty box, it seems. ]

Ah, yes - and if someone could elucidate me as to what exactly these... creatures are, it would be most appreciated. At least this one seems to have good sense, for the most part - stop smelling that!

[ The Snivy straightens up, trying to look dignified. This is the sort of Snivy who would never think of sticking his face all over a PokéGear. What would make you think that? ]

[ The man, for his part, turns back to the camera. ] If you can provide me with some answers as to what's going on in this place, I will see to it that you are handsomely rewarded. The sooner, the better.

[ And the feed shuts off. ]

[ Any Rockets hanging around the base, feel free to bug Valmont if you run into him in the hallway! You'll recognize him. He's the one in very non-regulation green and a foul mood. ]

[Enjoy the face of a little girl, apparently hanging upside down off the side of a couch if her hair is anything to go by.]

Yeah, good luck with that, Princess Ponytail. [Vanellope, you have a ponytail too, don't mock his...] Y'know, if you offer people rewards they could just lie to you. Trust me, people don't know much more than you, even if they been here forever.

Well...no one really knows what's going on, but I'll do my best to explain. We've all been brought here, for reasons unknown to us, and assigned Pokémon - which are the creatures you were referring to - as partners. As far as life here goes...we pretty much have the freedom to do whatever we'd like, but the general objective here is to travel to each city and challenge the gyms to earn badges. You're not required to do so if you don't want to, though; it's just a suggestion!

[...]

Um, that's pretty much it... I hope I could help shine some light on the situation. If you have any more questions, I can try to answer them. I'm still fairly new myself so there's still a lot I don't know, but I think I can at least help with the basics.

[That suit...]

[France is trying very hard to restrain himself, but all he can hear is that rap song that goes I look I feel I smell like money, just look at me dummy.]

I -

[He coughs.]

Excuse me. I was saying: I'm afraid this place has a habit of bringing people here without rhyme or reason. Unless any of your employees are already here, you are unlikely to have their services at your disposal.

[Oh, this guy looks like a party and a half, doesn't he.]

Well, monsieur, you aren't the only one who's an incredibly busy man; unfortunately, no one of any use to me has been brought here either, though perhaps you'll fare better than I have.

I would think someone dressed like that would hardly be in a position to complain about fashion.

[Yeah, she's going there.]

Unless that IS what they gave you? That would be awful!

[ valmont isn't the only one invested in fashion— well, there were always different types of fashion, and this little figure isn't much of a suit guy ( if anything, he goes for vests and still keeps his punk look ). skull is one who also ( at least for the time being ) refuses to change his helmet and full leather sport's bike suit in favor of some dull rocket cap and uniform. the only uniform he dug was his own— peh. surely he could get away with it, right? he's gotten away with so many things ( and maybe that's a lie ).

but, enough of that— here we have— a baby. yes, a baby. at least, he's as small as a newborn, albeit walking around on his own two legs with a helmet that's a tad disproportional . . . but he can't ditch the helmet, man. it's his do'. said baby ( or just very small person ) is walking around pretty quickly, always looking behind him— because that is also a bag of really putrid trash toddling after him. ]

Ack-!

[ gross— ]

G-get out of here!!

[ AND IT KEEPS FOLLOWING HIM with this content expression like it's just found a new friend. poor thing is too naive for her own good, sadly— skull, on the other hand, runs while looking over his shoulder, giving the fastest sprint he could— before hitting smack dab against valmont's snivy, with enough force to topple both over in a pinch.

it's also funny that they're basically the same size ]

Wah-!!

[Kato has been watching Valmont's message with amusement as he makes his way down the hallway of the Rocket Base, a number of folders clasped under the arm that isn't holding his Gear. Really, watching new recruits arrive never quite gets old - especially when they're as agitated as this particular fellow.

Oh well. He'll work it out. Closing his Gear with a sharp snap, Kato continues to stride down the hallway, his Lunatone following closely behind him. Turning a corner, he-

...

...oh. Speak of the devil...

...might as well have some fun with it.]

Still offering that reward?

[Hello, Valmont - meet one of your smugger co-workers. He's dressed in a fitted white labcoat with a bright red 'R' on the breast, and has the general demeanor of an experienced employee. Maybe he'll actually be helpful!

...maybe.]

I might be able to assist, if the price is right.

"Handsomely rewarded," huh? And what does that entail?

[Nagi has made it a point to keep his eye on the Network, particularly now since he's been spending most of his time outside of his room- for once- training his new Hoothoot. He's still young but seems eager to perform for his trainer, taking down wild Pokemon at Nagi's instruction. So while the little owl rests from air slashing the heck out of a group of Murkrow, he checks the Network and....sees Valmont's video. It seems like a lot of people have already provided their two cents, so he's content to just leave this man to his own devices.

Once he's through with training, Nagi heads back to the Base and back to his room at the end of the hall, his Hoothoot hopping along behind him with the promise of being fed a few berries for his good performance. Of course, as obedient as the bird is, he's still young and curious...

When Nagi disappears into his room, the Hoothoot stays outside in the hallway, balancing on one foot with his eyes slowly blinking. Before his trainer returns he spots Valmont passing his way, and naturally he's inclined to follow.

Hop hop hop on one foot after him, hooting softly as he tilts his head this way and that.]

[ah... it seems like someone else has obtained THE BEST POKEMON]

Well, I can't say I need a reward, and I'd rather doubt you'd be able to get it to me anyway... but I presume you've already gotten the general idea of things.

Mostly, I just want to say that you did get lucky with that starter. They're fantastic creatures, really.
