[AUDIO]

[Well, the last month has seen Cobra attacking a bunch of children in the name of...taking over the world or something (and apparently plotting something else, if his last post over the Rocket frequency is any indication), one of the new scientists attempting to vivisect a Voltorb and threatening to blow up the lab in the process, Gorthan being a goddamn alien, and some member of the organization apparently losing his mind and going on an anonymous rampage the likes of which are rarely seen outside of...I don't know, 4chan.

Between all of this, March has pretty much confirmed to Descole that he is the only sane man in Team Rocket, and come the full moon he won't be surprised if everyone else in the base mutates into something horrific and develops an unholy craving for chicken hearts.

Today, he's trying to get his mind off of it; he's not exactly in the mood to put on much of a performance for the camera, so you can have an audio post instead today, Johto. His tone is clipped and a bit annoyed; this is due to the fact that he's had this damn...egg-thing for over a month now and he's trying to resist the urge to punt it across the room, but no one really needs to know that right now.]

For those creatures that are supposed to evolve through...I don't know, friendship or happiness or whatever you feel like calling it - how can you tell if these things even like you, much less are close to evolving?

[PRIVATE TEXT TO EMMY ALTAVA]

I see your "friend" struck a second time.

We need to talk. Are you in town?

[...wherever would he be without that completely obvious first point, Cecil, thank you. He'll just be ignoring that bit of wisdom in favor of focusing on the second part, if you don't mind.]

Move Tutors, is it...where can they be located?

[Hey, considering the brain power of some of the trainers here...]

One lives in Ilex Forest and teaches only Headbutt. The others travel between cities, but they are simple enough to find. Keep an eye on the Pokémon Center; you should find one there within the next two weeks, if he or she is not already in town.

[...okay, he'll actually grant that one.]

Good to know, then - consider it appreciated.

You're welcome. I'd suggest requesting attacks that cover your Pokémon's weaknesses. There should be one or two available, even if they might not be particularly powerful.

[...Cecil, stop helping the criminal.]

[No, no, Cecil. Keep helping the criminal.

Although at the very least, this one's a tremendous nerd that likes to study all the things, so offering Descole information like this is closer to preaching to the choir rather than giving him anything he didn't already know in some way. It's just getting these things to like you.]

Do they demand anything in exchange for these services?

[Luckily, Cecil likes to share all the info. It comes with the length of his stay and the whole helpful paladin thing.]

Nothing beyond our thanks and gratitude. That is their main advantage, compared to the more powerful yet expensive TMs.

[...no but can he keep you though

we can always use a few more helpful paladins around here and you're precious]

Well! I'll definitely have to keep that in mind.

And who do I have to thank for this information, hm~?

[because no really anything that'll keep him from punting this goddamn togepi is appreciated]

[Isn't he more useful as a self-updating source? He's been travelling a lot and taking notes, after all. He could always be kept later~]

My name is Cecil. Cecil Harvey. It's a pleasure to meet you, sir...

[Sir Totally-Not-A-Criminal.]

[Totally not.]

Jean Descole - and believe me, the pleasure is mine.

We'll simply have to share it, then.
