[AUDIO / PRIVATE - TEAM ROCKET FREQUENCY]

Good evening.

[The voice that comes over the 'Gear tonight is calm, at least; soft and open, a bit high-pitched perhaps, but generally not unpleasant to listen to. Confident, in a bit of a self-satisfied way. So it goes.]

My name is Solf J Kimblee; I hold the rank of Beta within this organization. I suppose I owe you all an apology for being away from the organization itself for so long.

I think it's time to remedy that a bit.

As one of the field agents in charge of assisting with the training of the new recruits, I would like to extend an invitation to all of you - particularly the new ones that I have yet to meet, although I would like to see those I'm already acquainted with as well. It isn't an order; again, it's just an invitation to talk. I would like to get to know all of you, and to have a fuller understanding of your talents. Should you require orders or simply want something to do, I may have a proposal for you; we'll see.

I would prefer meeting you in person; I'm in the Goldenrod base for the time being, but if you're currently elsewhere, neither time nor money is a problem for me. Let me know where you are; I'll meet up with you.

I must say that I'm pleased with the work I've seen so far, however. Do keep it up, hm?

[artfuldestruction]

[[...yeah, uh

wow

Kimblee

u ok]]

Ah...appreciated, sir....

[[The disc glows briefly and Lussac starts to tremble, before shaking his head and cackling again. Huh. Seems it worked. Let him just....return Lussac to his Pokeball, okay, and pick up the disc, offering it to his senior.]]

Everything alright?

[explosivecombat]

[Kimblee will just continue glaring daggers at that thing until it is quite simply no longer there -

...at which point, he seems to realize what he's doing and it's as though nothing just happened. He visibly relaxes quite a bit; after a brief moment, that light smirk is back as he accepts the disc.]

Yes, of course. As I've said, I don't care for the species very much.

You also have a...Drifblim, I believe you've said?

[artfuldestruction]

Yes, and a Bronzong-

[[Here, let him release Helia and Brunel, alright. Hopefully you don't mind these two species as much as you mind Gengars...]]

....some of these Pokemon certainly are strange, aren't they. But they're growing well.

[explosivecombat]

Mm, indeed - I've raised a Drifblim myself; they're interesting creatures, really, if a bit...ah, unique-looking.

[Loosely translated: they look stupid as fuck, but they're amusing to make explode on themselves.

Either way, he doesn't seem to have anywhere near as much of an issue with either of these, rather content to stay near them while the process completes; it's obvious that he's fairly interested in Brunel there, however, given that his gaze keeps darting over there.]

This one...I can't say that I'm familiar with it; what can you tell me about it?

[artfuldestruction]

What, Brunel? He's a Bronzong, a combination Steel/Psychic type. I caught him on my way back from Olivine City. Fascinating creature; incredibly hardy with some rather interesting Psychic attacks. Even if he does look rather terrifying.

[[He (it???) certainly seems pleased with that TM, anyway. He's a bit of a bloodthirsty thing, what can he say.]]

Interested?

[explosivecombat]

Rather, actually; I may have to borrow him from you as well.

[It's a psychic-type that explodes. Archer kind of linefaces at the "exploding" part when it comes to these things, but he likely won't be too annoyed with the psychic bit.]

[artfuldestruction]

It would be my pleasure, sir.

[[Ohohoho, he is feeling very useful today, oh yes. Hopefully this will mean more toys in the future.]]

You only need to visit me in my lab and you can borrow whichever Pokemon you like. You've been rather good to me, after all.

[explosivecombat]

I'm good to those who deserve it; you've shown potential since you arrived. Consider that offer returned - I have quite the extensive arsenal.

[artfuldestruction]

Then perhaps we should set a bit of a playdate for our Pokemon, and see what comes of it. I could always use new weapons.

[[Have a rather graceful bow~]]

For now, I will seek you out in regards to the Deino egg at your leisure.

[explosivecombat]

[Oh, that's amused him.]

Anytime, Dr. Kato.

Is there anything further that I can do for you, for the time being?

[artfuldestruction]

Not at present; I believe we've covered everything I need.

Unless there was something more you required of me, sir?

[[He can pour you wine if you like! He's good at that.]]

[explosivecombat]

[Well, that's getting into bizarrely intimate territory, hon, but given how his...entire month has been, if he didn't abstain from alcohol entirely at this point he'd take you up on it.]

I believe that's all for now.

[He glances back at those Pokéballs for a moment before returning his attention to Kato.]

Do enjoy yourself.
