Bumping for the benefit of regulars.

Hell yeah, charmander quest!

Hell no!

this quest is shit and you should be ashamed of yourself

>>7524036
No quest can truly be shit unless it involves railroading. The only railroady quest that I know of is that Overlad thing, which is plenty awesome enough in terms of art to compensate.

Oh wow, hey Tits. Give me a second, okay?

Okay Tits, I think we were going to get some little mementos to commemorate the formation of the Fellowship. Something simple like bottlecaps I believe. Care to fluff that?

>>7524155

I agree with this statement, and second it.

>>7524155
There are plenty of water and lemonade bottle caps. What would you like to do with them, exactly?

>>7524190
Pass one out to each member. Declare it as our symbol. (kinda corny, I know, but hey - it's all based on a kid's game)

>>7524208
You do this. Snover smiles at you as you pass them out, and you think you can see a gleam of either amusement or pleasure in Magnemite's eye as you stick the thing to her. Sableye takes two tentatively, then licks one, sticking it to Seviper's forehead. Sarina and company then take theirs.

>>7524297

We now must find some sort of pokemon sized bag for us to carry our loots in.

>>7524297
"Let this be a symbol of our Fellowship - a constant reminder of our promise."

We raise a piece of whatever food it is that Sarina bought for us all and motion for the others to do the same.

>>7524328
They do, and the group of you perform your toast of food.

7!? Shit, I have some catching up to do. But please do proceed, although I’ve been here from thread 1, I’m merely a lurker.
Just wanted to say tell Tits and you adventurers to keep up the good work.
There are more people in these threads than you may think… Which sounded more creepy when I typed it than it did in my mind.

>>7524346
(Sweeeeet)

"Now then, Sarina - what are your plans? Do you have a home nearby - some place we can take refuge in or contact you should we be separate?"

FUCKKK I WAS ABOUT TO GO TO SLEEP!
Goddamnit Tits, I hate you and love you.

>>7524387
"Nearby? No, I live in Sinnoh; the Team Aqua base is my refuge here in Hoenn."

>>7524424
"How well do you know Team Aqua? What can you tell me of their leader, Archie? How much influence do they have in this area?"

>>7524469
"They're effectively the government of coastal Hoenn, or at least its police force and army. They have a great deal of influence, as well as connections with Team Galactic, which has helped the place a great deal; Galactic is very, very wealthy. As for Archie himself... he's getting old, and sort of tired, but he's fully committed to the protection of Hoenn. He feels he owes it a debt after he helped to almost destroy it... that's a long story."

Also, I've changed my name.

>>7524528
"I feel that we should meet this man Archie. Doubtless he would be a welcome ally in our Fellowship. If it is at all possible, we would like to be able to work with them - while still remaining free of any human control."

>>7524568
"I doubt that he would be able to join the fellowship himself; he's a very busy man. You could, of course, join Team Aqua, although you, Charmander, might have trouble adjusting."

(personally, I don't know if we really want to join team aqua. if anything, i would prefer to be some kind of freelance contractor or somthing. Or maybe we should even go to Sinnoh and train to become stronger there, with Sarina, whom we seem to trust well enough.)

>>7524606
"I have no intentions of joining a Human organization. No matter how noble their intentions and deeds, I and my friends here will act as free agents. We will help Team Aqua should they ask us, but we will not work FOR them. As for the Fellowship - it is not meant to be just for people who will travel with us and fight by our side wherever our journey may take us. It will include our closest friends and trusted contacts - people we can count on for information, supplies, and shelter."

>>7524693
She nods, smiling a bit. "I see. You and your friends are very brave, I have to admit, but what were you planning to do about that... thing in the lab?"

>>7524717
Our face turns to a more serious expression, as we ponder Sarina's words.

"...For now, we shall avoid it at all costs. That Monster...it is far too powerful for any of us to defeat in our current state. But..." (We look to Seviper and Sableye as we say this) "...when we have enough strength and allies to do so, the Monster WILL be stopped - and it will PAY for the lives it has taken."

>>7524772
Sarina nods again, seemingly impressed. "And what of Team Rocket?"

>>7524799
"As you said before, they have already taken over two other regions. I suspect their presence here means they wish to try and do the same to Hoenn. Should we come across them in our travels, we must deal with them quickly before they can sink their claws into our home. Also..." (We look to Snovel and Magnemite as we say this) "...they are an enemy to our kind - kidnappers and slavemasters, and vile corrupters of life. We must, at all cost, seek to free any of our Pokemon brethren that are taken captive by them."

"I will not suffer being a slave to them again, and I will extinguish my own tail-flame before I allow them to hold our kind hostage!" (Our tail-flame seems to burn brighter with the passion and conviction in that last part)

>>7524799
now now, you're going to risk losing Seviper and Sableye if you keep with this Rocket bashing. They'll turncoat on you.

>>7524928
hurr durr was meant for /co/mrade. >>7524917

>>7524917

"We must stop them from stealing pokemon from others. We must also stop them from moving to take more territory. But most of all, we must stop them from experimenting on pokemon.

>>7524917
"Very well. Just... I admire your sentiments, but I'm no crusader against Team Rocket, and, well, you're wild Pokemon. As soon as they figured that out, they'd capture you and bind you to their service."

>>7524799
"what of them? I'm sure they could be potential allies of ours if we play our cards right if we want to deal with this monster. Them being a tentative friend would make it much easier to find out just what this thing is, and more importantly how to deal with it. We can address their political and economic might later, right now the monster is the real problem, he is still watching us even."

>>7524957
We fume with courage and confidence in our voice, our tail-flame burning slightly brighter again.

"They may try it, if they dare! Let any Human who dare try to capture me learn the price of such an action, when I scorch the flesh from their very bones!"

>>7524995
This one, I'll need a consensus on, now that there are other people here.

>>7525038

I do say, we should resist capture at all costs, as that kinda means GAME OVER.

Show no fear in the face of the Oppressor! We will live our own lives, and give freedom to any that wish it! If someone tries to stop us, we will burn a path through them. If someone tries to capture us, we will repel them until our dying breath! Better to die free than live as a slave!

>>7525144
Fair enough.
Your enthusiasm, though, is causing Sableye and Seviper to give you ambivalent and faintly hostile looks, respectively. Also, Sarina is looking skeptical again.
"They have Pokemon too. And are used to the dangers of the wild."

>>7525202
"I care not for their numbers - it only gives us motivation to become stronger."

I don't know, I would have played it off as us avoid capture at all costs but not downplaying other pokemon and humans who choose to live that way. As it is, we sound like militant atheists. I wish we could do a do-over, but it's already been said.

Our choice to avoid capture isn't something that actually goes hand in hand with our goals, just something that is a quirk of our fearless leader, and as such, I didn't think it should have been brought up.

>>7525296

I second this guys opinion. We didn't need to sound like militant aethiests.

>>7525202
>>7525296
We notice the unsettling looks from our comrades, and attempt to explain our views again.

"I have no quarrel with Humans who treat their Pokemon with dignity and care. Those humans - such as yourself, and Seviper and Sableye's Master - are in fact a blessing upon this world. However, I will not stand idly by while eggs are snatched from their nests, younglings torn away from their parents, and innocent Pokemon are put to the chain and cage - like I was."

>>7525368
good, this is better, don't alienate potential allies with your views, bard-talk 101.

so what is our groups next course of action, i think it is to find out what this monster is, and to do so, we'll have to travel to another region and talk with Rocket. also, we need to level something hard.

>>7525368
Sarina nods. "Of course. I only want to warn you that few, if they see you travel unaccompanied, will have any compunctions about capturing you. They'll think you to be ordinary wild Pokemon." Your companions seem to have been reassured.

>>7525407
First we should help Sarina and Archie in stopping Team Magma from taking over Hoenn.

>>7525448
pretend you're our trainer, not all pokemon travel around in pokeballs surely. and since most humans can't understand us, it won't be that big of a farce!

>>7525448
"If they think us to be ordinary Pokemon, they would come to find they are mistaken - especially if they attempted to capture us. We are a Fellowship - we travel together, we fight together, we protect each other. If any Human attempts to capture one of us on our travels - they will soon find themselves up against the others as well."

>>7525452
I'm sure team Aqua has it under control, they are team Aqua after all. I mean, water does beat ground/rock/fire after all.

>>7525519
According to the previous threads, Team Magma has taken over half the region since the death of their leader - and they're still trying to take more territory. Team Aqua has been able to hold the coastal areas, but who knows for how much longer.

Once Hoenn is safe, we can focus on the bigger enemy - Team Rocket

>>7525511
it's that attitude right there that WILL get us captured. there is a difference between being confident and being over confident.

We need a disguise, not a bold-go-fuck-yourself attitude.

I vote we attempt to convince Sarina to stand in as a mock trainer to prevent unwanted captures. it's taboo for other people to try and take another trainers pokemon. with rocket though, they don't have that problem, so even if Sarina were our actual trainer they would still try to capture us, but they wouldn't know we were wild and would try to take empty pokeballs.

>>7525569
Agreed. I was going to go for this, I just hadn't gotten to it yet. The plan was to travel with Sarina ever since we formed the Fellowship

>>7525550
team rocket isn't an enemy, and neither is team Magma, they are parties playing for economic control of regions, something pokemon don't care about, that's a human thing. What we should care about is why rocket is hatching eggs and doing experiments, and just what it is they released on the world.

Ignoring the BBEG isn't a good idea. We need to get in touch with rocket and figure out what the BBEG is. I mean, it killed pokemon and humans after all. Magma, to my knowledge hasn't been offing pokemon.

>>7525511
"Very well. In that case, I agree that you should follow me at all times; I can pass you off as Pokemon who don't like Poke Balls. Seviper, Sableye, can you stay in yours?"
Both nod.

>>7525649
okay, so about this monster, what does everything think we should do, certainly Rocket has SOME idea as to what they created, I think we need to find that out.

this evil pokemon is still talking to us and by all rights, we should be far away from him.

>>7525673
that should have been in quotes

and everything needed to be everyone, as in addressing all pokemon and human.

>>7525624
Team Rocket IS an enemy. They're kidnapping and enslaving Pokemon, and performing bizarre genetic experiments on them. Seviper and Sableye's master might have just been an innocent guard, but the organization itself and it's goals ARE evil. Especially when you consider that they took us from our mother.

Team Magma isn't our enemy directly, but they are Team Aqua's enemy at the moment - and by extension, Sarina's enemy as well. We have to help fight them back to keep them from taking over the entire region for our allies' sake.

As for the BBEG, he's too powerful to deal with at the moment, and for all we know he's made himself a poison-filled fortress in the facility he destroyed. We have to avoid fighting with him for now - otherwise he most likely won't show us mercy if we get in his way like we did when we saved Sarina.

>>7525649
"Alright then, shall we return to see Archie now?"

>>7525721
that's why we go to rocket to deal with them and their experiments, while in turn finding out more about the BBEG, it doesn't matter if he's to powerful right now, we do ourselves a disservice to not find out as much about it as we possibly can. Whatever time we waste on other problems leaves this monster all the time in the world to get more powerful, and puts us in a bind when it comes time to deal with him.

Our quest is to deal with stop Rocket's experiments and deal with the monster they loosed, and if rocket tries to deal with the monster themselves, I wouldn't say it would be a terrible idea to help them.

we are schism OP, and I feel there is only two of us posting. Anyone on the sidelines feel like giving their two cents?

I want to confront Rocket and see where that takes us. Surely Sarina had friends that were killed in that lab, and Seviper and Sableye certainly want to get started with dealing out justice.

Going with Aqua and helping them does nothing to further our and our allies goals.

Plus, we deal with rocket and we'll find out where they took our eggs, and we're that much closer to finding our mother.

>>7525828

Actually, it does.

Experience.

>>7525790
Rocket's presence in this area isn't as strong as Magma's though. If we focus all our attention on Rocket, then our allies at Aqua may be overrun by the hordes of Magma troops that have them under siege.

We help our allies take care of Magma first, then we can focus purely on Rocket. We can still investigate Rocket every chance we can spare, but our primary focus for now should be avoiding the BBEG and stabilizing the power of our allies.

>>7525846
This too. Overall, Magma is a weaker group than Rocket. It'd be easier to gain experience from fighting a single-region group than trying to take on a global organization that has already taken over two whole countries.

>>7525863
What do our allies want to do OP? Helping Aqua for experience seems a little thin. A LOT thin imo.

I shall join the Charmander Crusade. Well, goal I guess.

Our main goal is to take down Team Rocket, and we need experience to do this. Not just battle experience, experience with fighting against a large criminal organization. Fighting against Team Magma will allow us to get ideas to use against Team Rocket, which will be useful in the long run.

>>7525916
Seviper and Sableye both emphatically want to investigate the lab monster. Snover doesn't give an opinion; she's not quite sure yet what she wants, except to not be separated from you. Magnemite doesn't respond at first, as it's right now staring into the sky.

>>7525933
My thoughts exactly.

So, shall we go to meet Archie now?

>>7525954
and Sarina? and what is Magnamite staring at?

I say we help aqua. More experience, a good number of powerful allies, and a stable area upon which to base ourselves.

>>7525972
Magnemite is staring at a Magneton passing by overhead. "I apologize, I just felt a strong signal from up there."

>>7526017
and Sarina's opinion?

Sounds like a trip back to Aqua is in order it seems...anyone wanna explore the town first?

>>7526065
I suppose we could, but it really depends. Exactly how long has it been since we hatched and escaped from the facility? I'd rather meet Archie as soon as possible, but if we have spare time a scouting mission in the city would prove valuable.

>>7526065

We should do that. Exploring the town allows us to get situated, understand the area a bit better. Plus we may find another Pokemon to join our cause.

Or experience, whatever works.

>>7526060
Sarina, for her part, was planning on returning home to Sinnoh for now.

>>7526100
our "trainer" is who we need to stick with then. her organization seems just as powerful as Aqua, and it is unfettered by being tied down to a cause.

>>7526100
Well crud, there goes the scouting mission. I say we ask her to take us to talk with Archie about all this, and then we'll accompany her to Sinnoh.

>>7526116

Second. This seems a good way to have everything we want: mobility and Humans who arent stuck to one ideal.

>>7526116
>>7526129

Agree with both choices. If we are to keep up the belief that she is our trainer, we need to accompany her back to Sinnoh.

You agree to this, after checking it with Seviper and Sableye. They're not terribly pleased, but they understand the wisdom of this decision, for now, at least. Sarina smiles at you, then stands up, withdrawing her Pokemon back into their balls.
"Shall we go, then?"

>>7526116

To deal with the Team Rocket slavers, we'll need a human "master" and the mercenary style gives us the ability to access the different organizations research data possibly via favors and repayment, so we can better understand teh monster.

go back with Sarina, let shit sort itself out there.

>>7526186
yes, watch, follow, and learn.

>>7526186
Go where? Can we meet Archie first, or are we going straight to Sinnoh?

>>7526269
"What would you like to speak to him about?"

>>7526318
nevermind.
Let's just go with Sarina

>>7526318
exactly, nothing, we have no incharacter reason to do so. Just go with Sarina and let things go from there, I convinced you last night that we could always talk with Archie at a later date if our needs required it /co/mrade. Or did you forget that discussion.

Aqua has nothing to do with our goals.

anyone else ready to continue with the quest and just follow Sarina? Those worried about experience, I'm sure we'll find plenty with her.

damn, almost missed this one.
pic is a little thing i made after last thread but didn't get to post.

voting to go with sarina, she's totally part of the team now! plus freelance pokemon working with a mercenary teams have unlimited awesome.

I say we go with sarina.

>>7526402
(I didn't know there was an option to go to Sinnoh. I had assumed, since OP said that Sarina was taking refuge with Team Aqua, that we were going to stay in Hoenn for now)

>>7526402
Let's go!

To the batboat!

>>7526422
Wh-....tha-.....
...I'm speechless here

Screw Archie, explore town.

There's always potential for easy XPs via roleplaying small quests in town exploration.

Maybe find a Meowth.

>>7526422
haha, Awesome!!!

>>7526422
Awesome.
Anyway, you all agree to go with Sarina now. She stands up, and the bunch of you exits the department store, and heads down to the boat, which pulls out of the harbor and begins heading east.

>>7526491
So, we're on the water now?

>>7526524
oh yeah buddy!!! off to explore the great blue yonder, the world is our oyster!!1eleven

>>7526491
search around the boat to see whats around, we don't distrust Sarina or anything but it would be nice to know if there are any guns e.t.c. sitting around to let us know exactly how 'team moon thingy' work.
Failing that i'm sure theres something interesting in a glove drawer or something

>>7526542
........
..."I'm tired and I wanna go home~
And crawl into my bed~"

>>7526566
I HAD A DRINK ABOUT AN HOUR AGO
AND IT'S GONE STRAIGHT TO MY HEAD!

>>7526566

In the navy! We can sail the seven seas! In the navy!

>>7526560
I'm all for just jumping ahead until something interesting happens. Maybe get Seviper and Sableye to give us lowbies some pointers?

>>7526593
Wherever we may roam *bum bum*
By land or sea or foam!

>>7526566
Your heart is abloom
Shoots up through the stony ground
There's no room, no space to rent in this town
You're out of luck
And the reason that you had to care
The traffic is stuck
And you're not moving anywhere

You thought you'd found a friend
To take you out of this place
Someone you can lend a hand
In return for grace

It's a beautiful day!
Sky falls, you feel like
It's a beautiful day!
Don't let it get away!

You can always bet we'll be singing this song
Show us the way to go home!

well, that was beautiful, but can we get back to charmander quest now?

>>7526687
Yeah yeah, just figured I'd take this moment to sing some sailing songs for shits 'n giggles.

>>7526465
Meowth uses payday.

>Basically, it looks like a crescent moon with fangs.
>bright red symbol of some kind that you can't quite make out.
>It's basically a large crescent with some longish spikes extending from the inner curve

That was the group that was holding the eggs...

Does Sarina know why Team Rocket's uniforms were different than before? No longer just a red R?

Perhaps we should ask Sarina about Sinnoh? Perhaps learn more about the freelancing organization she works for?

>>7526735
there are two groups. team rocket which have a red logo of some sort (a red R, like tradition, but we can't read). Sarina is part of another group who uses a fanged crescent moon as their logo (i forget the name).

>>7526793
Team Nightfall was Sarina's group name

Aw crap, I'm late. Also:

"I'm sailing away
Set an open course,
for the virgin sea"

>>7526786
What would you like to learn?

>>7526879
How large is the group? What is the leader like? What are the other members like (are they all as nice as you, or are they just mercenaries of all sorts?)? how does that logo actually work, is it like the bad moon logo?

>>7526879

Pay, ranks, can Pokemon hold positions, the usual clients, etc.

>>7526921
She tells you that the group is a few hundred strong, and that their character varies a lot from person to person; many are perfectly willing to work for Rocket or Magma. The identity of its leader is unknown.

>>7526969
yes! this works in our total favor. We need to know what Rocket was up to, and with members working for them, this should be easy!!! Not to mention we could get "hired" by Rocket to get inside information.

>>7526969

Sounds like some cuthroat politics is in order...Seviper might be interested maor now.

>>7526969
"I thought Team Nightfall was about helping trainers and pokemon in need; why would you work for Team Rocket?"

>>7527018
we have a plan, pretend to be pokemon of a mercenary (pretend that he's really shy/too hard at work to talk to employers) and get employed on a mission with team rocket (or find out about mission and go on it before anyone can stop us, i doubt team rising moon wants to ruin relations with an important client) then we'll be in a rocket base and and fuck around with shit.

>>7527048
"We work for those willing to pay us. We can accept jobs ourselves or not, but many members of my team are less scrupulous than I am."

>>7527048
they follow the money dear sir, nothing wrong with that, and it works perfectly for our situation.

bump did everyone die?

>>7527281
Not dead; rather they are just sleeping.

>>7527281
I'm here, waiting for another action to be voted on.

>>7527298
that which is not dead can eternal lie, in strange eons even death may die
la la, charmander fthagn

>>7527325
timeskip to arrival?

>>7527325
Well, shall we head out to Sinnoh?

Also, I've been wondering. Surely there are trainers out there with teams of pokemon in the high 80s to low 90s; why not ask them to stop the mystery pokemon? Surely they would be better able to do it than us? Or is it more a matter of not knowing where they are and being unable to contact them. If only we could find Red...

>>7527354
I'm all for this.

>>7527354
>>7527371
The boat speeds on to Sinnoh. The sky gets steadily darker as you continue. Do you want to get some sleep?

>>7527413
We've had a long first day of life, I think we could use a nap, since we're not even a day old and all.

>>7527413
One of the privileges of youth is Nap Time. Take full advantage of it!

>>7527420
>>7527437
You curl up on one of the seats. Snover sits herself in the curve of your tail, although making sure not to set herself on fire. Magnemite sets itself down next to you, and all of you sleep.

>>7527540
This needs drawfaggotry. Or spritefaggotry, if that masterful guy who's been providing us with sprites would be so kind?

>>7527540
are we going to leave off? that gives you time to plan out what's next since you have an idea of where the quest thread is headed now.

I've just noticed the thread has gotten much slower paced and you're responses have been not as good as what the earlier threads have shown.

>>7527560
I knew it! The burn out; it's happening!

>>7527558
sorry, i don't have the skills to make something like that. thankyou for the complement though.

>>7527560
Ah, thank you for reminding me. This whole time, my computer's been running slowly and crappily, and my mood's been a bit darker. Leaving off now would be a good idea, yes; I'll also be eating soon.
Do note that I'm relying on you to decide the direction of the quest, although I do promise that there'll be adventure for you.

>>7527607
Ah well, cest la vie.

>>7527621
My guess is that we're going to try and use Sarina and her organization's ties to find out what Rocket was doing and what the monster is. I'd get working on characters and plot hooks! It should be fun!!!

>>7527621
Well I hope your computer gets better and your mood improves. See you around!

>>7527621
yeah, thanks for the quest threads, get to feeling better!!

>>7527666
I'll do that, then. When I make the next thread, I'll link it here.

In the meantime, perhaps you can plot here?

hmm...I think our best course of action is to sneak in to a rocket gig, although there's always the risk of capture. might be better to just stay and look for intel on whatever the hell blew the shit up.

>>7527666
I'm with devil poster on this motive. seems crazy enough it just might work. Although, I think this plan will be more of a "play it by ear and take advantage of what comes"

As Sarina surely wants to find out what it was that killed both her companions, it shouldn’t be to hard to convince her to take on a mission from Team Rocket so that we can do some research about the laboratory.
I’m sure the news of the annihilation of an entire research lab will have spread throughout the entire organization by now, and thus what they were researching there will be a hot topic for the entire organization, which will make it easier to get the info.

>>7527883
this.

>>7527883
>>7527666
This sounds good. I hope we do manage to get a job somewhere in Kanto/Johto; my favorite enemy in my favorite countries? Hell yes!

1. meet Sarina's team
2. find way to use them to get to rockets
3. try to get revenge on rockets, and gather information on the "thing"
4. ???
5. PROFIT!

>>7528007
>Dewachu

WHAT HAS SCIENCE DONE?!?!

Quest over for today?

Plan.

1) Go to the base of operations for the team.
2) Meet important people.
3) Explore nearest town, also meeting up with important NPCs.
4) Try to get a job to get a feel for how to operate as a team (and get some easy XPs and money) while getting into a better position within the group.
5) Get a cell-phone to contact Selina and some packs in order to have an inventory. Purchase emergency medical supplies and designate a team medic. Buy some provisions of the appropriate type for everyone (batteries for Magnemite, some nice starchy things for Snover, some cheap gems or whatever for Sableye, and some small edible cooked animals for Seviper. Plus some spicy food or whatever for Charmander. All of these preserved along the lines of freezedried food or whatever).

ALL AGREE?

>>7528249
I suppose some cooked Rattata would do for Seviper. And once we've got all this, we hope that we can find a job involving Team Rocket so as to find out more About this Mystery Pokemon.

>>7528357

Indeed, gotta start as soon as possible on the ground floor and prove our worth. Also, I like the idea of having a "shy reclusive but efficient trainer" in order to have some self-sufficiency.

Also, weren't there regular animals in the Pokemon universe-there's fish who aren't Pokemon, and things like worms that Pidgys eat. Perhaps better save off the Ratatta eating unless it's necessary...can always use the locals for help with directions when traveling if Seviper won't eat them.

I suppose it depends on how OP runs it. Almost all if not all real-world animal references have been ret-conned; Pidgys eat Caterpie and Weedle, Ekans eats Rattata and Pidgy, Humans eat Miltank as hamburgers. I mean, they don't address it in the anime, but even in the games you have mention of Slowpke Tails as a delecacy along with Farfetch'd.

Now, that's not to say that this makes it really Grimdark, just more so than most of the media portrays it.

A good thing to keep in mind when we finally do come in contact with the Rockets is to not go all racist on them at once, for the sake of our new comrades Seviper and Sableye, since their devotion towards us is rather dented after our grand speech, a damage that has to be repaired imo.

To be fair, I'm guessing that there are plenty of Rockets like the Grunts who don't know just how evil their Team is. I figure the jobs of actually stealing pokemon and the like is undertaken by members who are higher up on the food chain, while the grunts just sit on guard duty.

So yes, let's not just assume thatall Rockets must be 100% evil and go full-on HATE RAGE when we finally do meet up with them. If for no other reason than hate clouds good judgment.

I'm back. Here's the new thread: >>7528751
