raid on the city!!

[forprofit]

[Hello, fellow Rockets and general wrong-doers! You may or may not recognize this man in his dashing white uniform and red insignia wandering around the plains, seemingly searching for something or someone. He's had a long enough while to get more familiar with this place, so now he's in an exploring mood. Maybe there's a nicely furbished abandoned building around here he can claim...

There's a sharp-looking Houndoom next to him, but that aside, he looks pretty harmless - unless you're a hat-wearing kid with too many morals. He might be up for chatting.]

Am not!

[forprofit]

You'll need to be sneakier than that. What are you doing out here?

[redheir]

None a' your combee's wax!

[forprofit]

[guuuhhhhhh] Don't start. Now tell me what you're doing.

[redheir]

I don't wanna. You're not my boss.

[forprofit]

[True, and someone could be the boss here ya know.] You've found a place to sleep around here, correct?

[redheir]

Not here, you im-bih-cile!

[Learning some big words lately! Yeaaaah reading!]

Mother found a place to stay.

[forprofit]

[He didn't mean here, you insufferable - mother?]

Ariana is here?

[redheir]

Why wouldn't mother be here?

[Everything he ever wants is never far away. Even his father, though hard to pin down for personal time, is available sometimes. The idea that people might not be present is beyond him.]

[forprofit]

[Of course - they'll always try to be around for him.]

Nevermind that. I'll have to see her as soon as I can.

[redheir]

She was looking for you. You're only around when no one wants you, never when we do.

[forprofit]

[Charming!] You know I'm a busy man now.

[redheir]

You're my father's peon, that's all.

[forprofit]

I see you haven't skipped out on your reading lately...

[redheir]

You listen better if I'm smarter, right?

[forprofit]

Words will only take you so far, you know.

[redheir]

I know. I have to get strong, like father.

[forprofit]

That's right, Silver. And how can you become strong like him?

[redheir]

I'm gonna raise a super strong Nidoking just like father! I'll have a whole team of really strong Pokémon that I know perfectly!

[forprofit]

Yes, that too. But more importantly?

[redheir]

...Uhhhhhhhhhh.......

[????]

...Using... Team Rocket at my disposal?

[That's the thing you said like all the time, right?]

[forprofit]

Correct. You're getting smarter by the day.

[redheir]

I don't need you! I'm gonna be strong all by myself!

[forprofit]

[Well, some progress is better than no progress.] And you may throw me away if you wish, once you become Boss.

[redheir]

No way. I'll have you all to myself!
