♕ THIRTEENTH COMMAND | VIDEO / TEXT | VIDEO - PRIVATE TO ROCKETS
[The video opens to two Team Rocket Grunts. They don't look particularly important, just two stereotypical Grunts wearing the usual uniforms and waiting in what appears to be National Park. It's dark, but the two are still visible. They don't seem to know that they're being filmed.]
Man, we need to pull this off. The boss won't be pleased if we don't. So where are the saps we're supposed to be stealing from?
No idea. He said they'd be here though--
[The second Grunt is cut off by the approach of several figures. Both Grunts reach for the Pokéballs on their belts. They relax almost immediately though; the figures are three NPC trainers who frequent National Park.]
Good, you're here. Alright, hand over your Pokémon! We're taking them in the name of Team Rocket!
[The trainers don't protest at all. They hand over their Pokémon without complaint. The second Rocket Grunt shifts back and forth on his feet, obviously nervous.]
This doesn't feel right. People don't normally hand their Pokémon over like this. And don't they look funny...?
Shut up. The boss said this would be an easy job. He was right!
I just don't like this...
[With the Pokéballs secured in the first Grunt's bag, the two are quick to flee the scene. The three NPC trainers turn and walk out of sight in unison. All is still for a few moments.
Then a pendulum drops in front of the camera and sways back and forth for a few seconds. To those who have raised a Hypno it might look familiar. It's followed by a text a minute later.]
you might be next
[A couple of hours later an unrelated video comes from Archer. He's sitting in one of the rooms in the base, leaning on a desk with his hands folded. He doesn't waste any time and gets straight to business.]
What can you tell me about the microchips? Have you experienced any odd behavior with the Pokémon that have been microchipped? I'm interested in studying the effects on the Pokémon that have been implanted with the chips.
[And maybe implanting more chips, but he'll leave that part out!]
I'd appreciate any information you can offer me. Thank you.
((OOC: Attack is mod approved! The Rocket Grunts are NPCs and are not being controlled, but the NPC trainers are being controlled by Archer's Psychic-type Pokémon! Replies will come from Alekhine, Archer's Alakazam who is behind the video! Archer will get away with this for the time being, but never fear, he'll be captured for messing with peoples' heads eventually!))

Private Video
[It wouldn't be the first time in her life for someone to tell too much about her to other people, really. And no, Archer, you are talking to Utau. Interesting is ... an interesting way to describe it, kind of.]
Oh. The level 15 pokemon was a Shinx, it's been a Luxray for ages, and a level 5 Woobat ...Which wasn't excited for my electric powers, so we don't exactly get along.
[It's a dilemma; she's not exactly the most loyal member of this team but she's not one of those who plan to run away either... Why didn't she just get two cats instead of a cat and a bat that reminds one of her fairies? Yes, very funny idea to give those two to her, Johto... or not, orz.]
