raid on the city!!

[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.]

[Who the what? That's not- this is a serious and heated conversation, not a time to talk about love and Pokemon.] So you're still on that. Your disappearing act seems to have changed nothing about you.

I know what's important. He knows what's important.

[Red points to Houndoom!]

... ... ... It's only you.

[forprofit]

And what is the point of stating that? Of course I'm his priority.

[highestlevel]

... You'd be strong, too. I heard Giovanni got stronger...

[He lets out his Snorlax. He's ready to start this fight.]

...but Team Rocket will always lose, without friendship.

What do you know about Boss Giovanni? If that other boy hadn't gotten in my way, Giovanni would have come back ages ago!

[He throws out a hand and Houndoom crouches, ready to act.] Flamethrower!

[highestlevel]

The "other boy"...

[Snorlax takes the flamethrower, drumming its belly confidently.]

... ... He defeated Giovanni. Told me a funny story.

Body Slam, Snorlax.

What? [The newest Champion fought Giovanni? When? How did he find him before-

The Body Slam's going to smart, but Houndoom isn't giving up just yet. Just one more hit, at least...] Crunch!

[highestlevel]

[Snorlax is already chewing leftovers...]

Earthquake.

[Holy-! Archer wasn't aware that a Snorlax's quake could be this powerful. He stumbles to his knees as the ground trembles. Houndoom doesn't stand a chance against this.]

[highestlevel]

[Sure doesn't! Red's unflappable.]

... ... ...He gave me an appreciation for earth-type moves...

[Giovanni, that is. Snorlax isn't the only Pokémon with earthquake on his team.]

Don't speak of you like you know him. [He pulls out Houndoom's pokeball. They're definitely gonna need to establish a secret base around here so he doesn't have to deal with all these kids.]

[highestlevel]

You're weaker than last time.

[Come on, don't look so sour! Or if you do, throw a tantrum like Green, Green's at least really hilarious about it.]

[forprofit]

[You leave Green alone you jerk. Archer just frowns and says nothing. It's not his job to be a Pokemon Trainer; what does Red expect?]

[highestlevel]

[He expects you to get the hint eventually and quit. He'll be battling you and getting money out of you until you do.]

Return, Snorlax. Go, Lapras.

[forprofit]

[Like Archer's gonna give one pokedollar to this rotten kid-

Calling back one big Pokemon and sending out another big Pokemon? Houndoom's all Archer has left, and attempting to punch a Lapras in the neck sounds like both a terrible idea and unstylish move. Is he really out of options already...?]

[highestlevel]

[Red's an ass, he likes to intimidate his opponents by just shuffling his team through battle. They could use the shared experience, paltry though it was.]

Done already...?

For today. But will take more than that to stop me from my goals.
