[The video screen clicks on to Jack, leaning back in his black leather office chair, a Meowth on his lap. He's wearing his Rocket uniform, but under his gray blazer and he's not wearing his domino mask. Just the usual mask that's always stapled to his face.]

So you all might have noticed our buddy Claude hasn't been around for a while.

That's because the idiot's in jail. He was sloppy. He got caught. He's gonna stay there and think about all the mistakes he made so he doesn't make them again.

I want everybody to remember this. You screw up, you suffer the consequences. There's no room for mistakes here. Nobody's paying your bail, nobody's picking your ass up out of the fire. And if you do screw up and get caught...

You better believe your ass is on janitor duty for the next countable number of months.

Look at me! Never been caught, never even been accused! Not even casually. That is the level of professionalism that's expected of you. Do what I do, listen to what I say.

Just something to keep in mind, kiddos.

Now get out there and steal some Pokemon, mess some shit up.

[Aside from some NERVOUS LAUGHTER before she hits record because.

Aha. Someone has been deliberately hunting out rare pokemon, catching them, and to top it off as of late just teaching them secret power with that re-usable TM to avoid being squinted at.

It doesn't work she's being squinted at. But really, there's T e c h n i c a l l y nothing but good in getting a bunch of Rare pokemon so...Hooray?

REGARDLESS.] ...How on earth did he get caught?

[Says the one who hasn't done anything that she can Be Caught doing yet.]

[thedifferencebetween]

He spent too much time yapping and literally got his ass kicked.

Didn't even have time to send out a Pokemon before some old dude was on him, just whaling into him.

Don't waste time with speeches and shit.

[insidescoop]

Whaaaat, seriously?

That feels like...second nature? You can't just talk if you've got nothing going for you, that never ends well!!

[Spoken like a true former anime villain.]

[thedifferencebetween]

It's a thing. The whole monologuing 'moo-ha-ha I've got you now' thing. I never bother with that shit. A witty quip as I'm throwing some giant killer Pokemon in someone's face, sure, but that's it.

[insidescoop]

You don't really have someone until you Actually have them though y'know...

Well I mean I guess you know, you're not the one in jail...man, really though...

[Ridiculous, she's sure!]

[thedifferencebetween]

In case you haven't noticed, there's not a whole lot of brains running around here.

Be better than Claude, kiddo.

[insidescoop]

I've admittedly been out...a lot.

I'm trying to expand my coverage~! Get as many teleports active as I can~!

...

I'll be better though.

[thedifferencebetween]

No, getting your DNA logged in fast travel stations is important. Or...whatever the hell they call it here, we call it fast travel back home.

And I'm guessing you're meeting your quotas while on the road 'cuz no one's said anything about it.

[insidescoop]

Yup~

I've managed some really nice ones too~! [She got a Miltank while right beside the dang farm, even. ...And then leveled it herself a bit.

There's desperation to hold your morals within the ranks, and then there's That, Carly.] Honestly it's a bit easier this way, since I'm not really in the same place more than a little bit...I just float under the radar...

[thedifferencebetween]

See? Smart. You're a smart cookie, kiddo.

Where are you now, anyway? I...probably oughtta be checking up on you and stuff.

[insidescoop]

Right nowwwww I am in...a mountain.

[Heck yeah.] I'm heading for Mahogany~! Only two more teleports in Johto to open up, I'm doing great!

[Little does she know, SOMEONE is going to get a cold, and force her to finally use her escape rope in a panic.]

[thedifferencebetween]

In a mountain.

Okay. Whatever, that's fine. Gonna officially record that as 'in transit'.

Hey, you see any cool Pokemon in there, grab some for me.

[insidescoop]

Can do! I dunno how many people I'll see in here, but catching is always a thing at least...

[thedifferencebetween]

Even if you run into people, don't try and rob'em. Enclosed space, lack of exits, unfamiliar ground...bad move.

Nah, just catch me some shit. I could use some new Pokemon that aren't dogs.

[insidescoop]

Oh yeah...

Got thrown off by how roomy it is in this cave- you know, I'm on a gogoat right now?? These tunnels are big enough to ride a gogoat!!

But yeah that's not really handy ahah... And I really don't want to use that escape rope....

[Anyway.] I'll see what comes up then~! And note 'not dog' on the check list too!

[thedifferencebetween]

No shit? I tend to not go into caves, because terrible things happen in caves.

No, no dogs, I got enough friggin dogs. I got all mine, all the ones my husband left me, my kid keeps giving me more dogs...

I got all the dogs I could ever need.

[insidescoop]

That's a lotta dogs. I'll make sure whatever I find is the opposite of a dog!

...and that doesn't mean a cat, I should note.

But yeah- I mean, the tunnels are fairly roomy as is I find, but this is really something!

I figure the underground waterfall has something to do with it. It's...

...Well it's something.

I don't have that badge for 'surf' though, soooooo...trying not to think about what would happen if I fell off a cliff right now.

[thedifferencebetween]

What would happen is you'd drown or get smashed to pieces on rocks and wake up at the nearest Pokemon Center.

Try and avoid that.

[insidescoop]

Eeuuuuhhhhhh....

[Not great!] Avoiding it....

[thedifferencebetween]

Good girl.

Lemme know when you're finished hitting everywhere in the region.

[insidescoop]

Got it~!
