Fifth Sting [video/action for those in Violet City Pokemon Center]

[The feed shows Chris with only three of his pokemon shown: his starter Maya the Pawniard, Rain the biting Squirtle and his irritable Houndour Daniel with three eggs as Maya guarded them with a fierce determination. Chris looked vaguely annoyed, but didn't speak for a few moments. Then he turned to the feed.]

Well, that certainly put a dent in my savings. Good thing that Butterfree dropped off the eggs before the storm hit. I imagine everyone is staying inside if you are able to. If it weren't for this weather and the fact I should wait for my eggs to hatch I would've been caught outside Violet City. Speaking of bad things... does anyone have any information regarding Team Rocket? I know there's not much I can do at this moment, but once the weather subsides I'm hoping there's something I can do to assist Falkner.

Also um... does anyone know a trainer by the name of Twilight? She helped me quite a bit and I would like to do something for her as a gift but I've never been good at gift giving. So if anyone has suggestions for a gift I would appreciate it. Thank you.

[Another one asking? ...Okay, now it's just getting silly. Is the theft of a Gym Leader's Pokemon all it takes to get them involved? ]

Learning about Team Rocket doesn't mean you'll be able to track down those Pokemon, you know. They're good at covering their tracks.

[Too good, really, for a world with no one trained in tracking them down. Etro, she misses Fang...]

I haven't been here as long as some people, but when I heard about the theft of some Level 100 Pokemon you have to think about what Team Rcoket hopes to achieve. Without Badges they won't listen to anyone but their trainer.

And the fact that they did this under the nose of local Police when as far as I know, no one in this world is trained for that sort of thing. They're not military so where did they learn things like that?

And what makes you think whoever took them didn't have badges? We don't know anything about who did it or why. For all we know, they were taken just to prove that they could be.

[She has other theories, but none are any better. All she knows is that Rocket does nothing without a plan.]

They're not a military group, but that doesn't mean that some of the people working with them don't have a military background. [shrug.] You can't assume anything when it comes to them.
