[Video]
[This whole technology thing is actually kind of interesting! And Speedwagon, luckily, is very adaptable and it's not terribly difficult to figure out this nonsense. Despite his best efforts to tune out the majority of this training nonsense thus far. But when he gets the video going, he's got salandit plopped in his lap and a mareep curled up next to him. On one of the damn beds in the dorms, obviously.
At least he probably doesn't look too weird in a dress shirt that has the sleeves unbuttoned and rolled up and simple slacks. The weirdest might just be the black and white checkered top hat. Don't ask. Don't do it.]
Well! Other than this whole nonsense about "training" when this lot couldn't find their own hand in front of their face in a well lit street, there's some rather fascinating things. Mostly the whole [he gestures at everything around him at the moment, that's not exactly telling] majority of this. Street lamps had only been around a couple of years, so lighting as plentiful as this is quite a feat, I must say. [Someone stop him, he's being sincere and it's awful.]
But from what I gather, everyone here is supposed to be some sort of... criminal, then? Because I could have guessed otherwise if these are the types that are in charge of training, I've seen street urchins that are better trained and more versed than these fools are. [Says the man who grew up in the worst alley in all of London, but that's details.] So do tell, friends, did anyone actually need this training or is it simply the locals being this inept?

It's really watered down? Like uh...I guess like if the world was a bowl of sugar, no bugs or anything in it? [She's trying her best.] My point is, things are a lot nicer here- stealing and cheating is genuinely the worst Team Rocket seems to even be CAPABLE of, and for good reason, you can't so much as pick up a butter knife with the intent to hurt someone with it!
...That said yes, we have trained doctors who aren't making guesses if they can help it, and Team Rocket pays for us to see one if we need. And that's for the 'if we NEED' part. General stuff, you can just go to a walk-in, no troubles at all!

So you can't even... [He trails off for a second with a small frown, perhaps it's for the better he long since ditched his sawblade hat, after all. It'd be absolutely useless in a place like this, obviously. A pity.]
Then how do they go about stealing things, if they cannot use some sort of force behind it? If that is the case, I assume these creatures are not capable of harming anyone, either? [The salandit in his lap yawns loudly before shifting around to nuzzle her face into his chest. Of course she would.] Seems rather strange to me, since otherwise you would need to resort to something akin to pickpocketing and that's a rather piss poor method of doing it and the lowest of the low on the ladder of stealing. [HE HAS THOUGHTS ABOUT THIS!!!]
General... stuff? [What does that mean! No one goes to a doctor unless they're sick!!!!] Well, at least it's good to hear that they've learned something proper in this time. Hard to trust them when their methods are just "oh, we don't know, but maybe try this and perhaps you won't die or get worse. But if you do, we'll just... try something else and pray it does something."

You just kind of wake up in the Pokemon Center. It's...weird? But I mean we have music in the back of our head...
Pickpocketting is the start of the ladder, but the bigger heists all use pokemon. And honestly I think it'd be more effective that way as it is! No one dies, you can cover a really large area with sleeping powder, or even just restrain everyone all at once...
...Uh.
So what year was it for you again? Because hoo! That uh. That sounds impressive. Impressively bad! [She turns to shout something at someone, but it's hard to tell what it is, as at that moment something snuffles at the screen, blocking the speaker.
Get away, fool.]
Uh, anyway definitely don't have to worry about that!
no subject
So one has to get creative with their methods, sounds about right. Learn to adapt to the situation and work from there, I'm... certain that these two would be useful for something at some point, even if I'm not quite sure what they are. Other than one is obviously a sheep of some description. [Mareep, the easiest pokemon to equate to a real life animal.]
Mmm. That would be 1889?
Well, yes, bad is certainly a word to describe it. There's reasons not many trust them.
i thought this sent :[
And if you train them up, they'll learn more~! ...I don't think there's too many 'sheep' pokemon though...maybe you have mareep..?
[She trails off, and the year hits her.] Aha- HAHAHA- Oh!
Uh! Well! ...I...Interesting news! That's almost a hundred and thirty years back~! W...Wowee! [ISN'T THIS LITERALLY A YEAR OFF OF JOLYNE'S-
She has to hiss something back at that, and this time it's volume that keeps her from being heard.] Y...You know, I don't think this is the first time that's happened!
