016. [Anonymous Text + Images]
[And tonight, with no fanfare, a text hits the network. Completely anonymous, as always; those who have done their homework would recognize the 'Gear number as the one ascribed to the device that's been showing off several other attacks that have been broadcast to the network.]
Good evening, Johto.
The last few times we've spoken have been a bit unbalanced, wouldn't you agree?
[Ah, there are the pictures. Still images from the attack on the square in front of the Goldenrod Department Store, along with a few other images - the attack on the Kimono Girls and against a few random civilians, the Goldenrod Pokémon Center being destroyed. Little unpleasantries like that. Scroll past them and the text will pick back up, don't worry.]
You've told me so much about yourselves, during those attacks. I've gotten to know several of you quite well, actually.
For the time being, I would like to even the playing field a little. It will keep things interesting, I think.
From the time that you contact me onward, you have an hour to ask me anything you like. I can't guarantee you'll like or be satisfied with the answers, but it'll be better than nothing, I imagine; anything is up for discussion, short of my current location.
And don't worry - I'll introduce myself, just to spare you some time.
[There's one more image after the text ends; it's the sort of picture that usually closes out these transmissions to the network - a shot of the Rocket agent in question from the chest down to about the waist. The room behind him is dark, though it appears to be a meeting room of some sort, if you squint; the Rocket insignia emblazoned across his shirt is clearly visible above his hands, which are obscured by the pale gloves that come with the uniform. Instead of the usual Pokéballs clasped in his hands, however, there's a white card with a few words written on it in thick, blocky writing, as though someone had written the letters and gone over them repeatedly, rendering them unidentifiable through handwriting alone. The words are highly visible, standing out against the stark, glaring white of the card in the flash of the camera:
MY NAME IS SETH.
PLEASED TO MAKE YOUR ACQUAINTANCE.]

I'm doing my best to keep my ego out of it, but it's a struggle.
no subject
As for your question, unfortunately, I'm not the highest-ranking individual in the organization. As such, I'm not authorized to speak on its behalf. I understand that you likely won't find this answer satisfactory, but I imagine it's better than lying to you and leading you in the wrong direction entirely; my apologies for that much, at least.
no subject
I suppose I should thank you for your honesty. You're under direct orders to make these attacks, then? If you don't mind another one of my annoying questions.

That isn't always the case, however; obviously, there have been deviations from that pattern.
no subject
Those are all the answers I need for now. I'd offer you the chance to ask me any, but I don't want you to accuse me of being self-important again.

I'm curious as to why you're doing this in the first place. I've explained my motives to you, though you didn't seem too thrilled about them; do you simply desire to see all who do what you deem "evil things" to be punished/brought to justice, or is there a more personal reason?
no subject
I'm doing this for a few reasons; I want to solve the puzzle of you and Team Rocket, and I also want to avoid people getting hurt. I work for the greatest gentleman in the world, and he definitely wouldn't approve of what you're doing.
That, and I enjoy taking down criminals. I've helped the police in the past, and it's quite the rush! I'm not used to being defeated but our first battle was full of major mistakes on my part; I like to think that next time we meet, I'll do better.
And maybe you'll see me as a little more than just an annoyance; you never know.
no subject
As for your reasoning, it's certainly more interesting than I would have thought from what you've given me to work with in the past; thank you for the answers, though I can't say that I agree with them any. I've never been one to risk myself in the name of others' protection.
no subject
I'm not trying to make this sound like some sort of 'special' rivalry - I know how much you seem to hate that - but I do consider you a challenge worth solving. You're a tangible person, now, rather than just some shadowy force hiding behind the Gear, and even though I ended up worse for wear after our previous fight, I feel energized for the next round.
I'm sorry; I probably lost you a fair few sentences ago. You can think of me how you like, I don't really mind. I'd just like to earn my way to the point where you consider me a worthy foe. Even if I've got a bit of work to do; that's the fun of it.
Stopping people from getting hurt is just a perk!
no subject
I do find it interesting, however, that you seem to prefer humanizing your opponents over demonizing them; most seem to work the other way around.
no subject
Take you, for example. Before we met in person, I found you quite terrifying. You weren't a person, you were more of a....force, I suppose. But now I see that that was a bit silly of me; you're just another man, albeit a type that I've never experienced before. That was where the fear came from, I believe; fear of the unknown, of things unfamiliar.
You're definitely not from London; I can at least be sure of that.
no subject
Humans in general are an odd sort, however; the way they behave and the patterns they fall into are often predictable. Understand where one comes from and you can usually work out how they'll respond to certain stimuli; they'll continue to respond in the same way nine times out of ten, usually until something - either internal or external - forces them to respond differently. Many people are surprisingly easy to control.
At the same time, that one time makes them worth observing, I think.
no subject
Does your 'nine out of ten' rule apply to you as well?
no subject
But at the same time, I'm not going to claim I'm above that particular rule, as I am human myself. At least, in the most literal sense possible; I've done something horrible enough in the world I come from to have my claim to being a member of the species permanently revoked, I'm fairly sure. That's not bragging, nor is it exaggeration for the sake of trying to scare you; it's just the way things are back home.
no subject
But I'm sure you've heard it all before, so I won't press that particular topic. I just want to know if you're preparing another attack any time soon.
no subject
As for the next attack, I've told you already that I can't speak for the organization; it's possible they'll move before I do. While I do have some plans, they aren't anything that will come to pass within, say, the next week, don't worry.
no subject
But that's all the more motivation to put a stop to you, I suppose! Thank you for answering my questions; this has been very educational for me.
no subject
And that was the purpose of this little session; good to know that it was successful, at least in that regard.
no subject
Regardless, do have a nice day.
no subject
Consider that returned, however. It's been a pleasure.
