003. Audio/also one other thing

[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?

[...huh. Well. He shoots another glance at the useless little thing before continuing.]

I don't see why not - and if we're talking about a paid transaction, I don't see why I can't allow you to have access to a few of the others as well.

[And a few moments later, list get, Archer.]

[Archer studies the Pokémon list closely for a moment before replying.]

You certainly have collected some interesting Pokémon. I would like an Togepi egg as well as a Metagross - what do they start as? I'm not familiar with the species, but the typing is certainly fascinating. How do you like it?

[Oh, wait, there's one more...!]

It might take me awhile since I need to obtain one of my own to breed it with, but I'd be interested in obtaining a Scyther egg in the future as well. It has some interesting egg moves on it - did you obtain it from a breeder?

[Audio]

[scientificflair]

I'm sure you've noticed the trend in this place - where the first stage is utterly useless in just about every way imaginable? Metagross is no exception; the first stage learns all of one offensive move that results in recoil every time. However, I'd say the end result is definitely worth the effort of training it.

As for the Scyther, yes, that would be the case - I assume you're going to be allowing me the use of that Ditto for the other two, breeding-wise? Where are you located?

[Audio]

[determinator]

I suppose that's to be expected.

[Ugh, why are all these creatures so useless to begin with?]

I'm in Goldenrod; yes, I'll let you borrow the Ditto for the other two and I'll work on obtaining a Scyther for the third. Thank you.

...this transaction will go rather quickly indeed, then; consider it done.
