♕ FOURTEENTH COMMAND | VIDEO

[determinator]

[Good afternoon, Johto! Archer is seated at a desk, glancing over a list of papers when the feed turns on. He smirks at the camera after a moment and folds his hands.]

I have several eggs here that I'd like to sell. I'm willing to give anyone who replies on this channel half off. I can assure you, the eggs are definitely worth it.

[It's shortly followed by a list. It's missing ten of the eggs, but that's nothing you need to worry about~ The feed ends there.]

[Several minutes later a public broadcast goes out featuring the same list, plus ten other eggs.]

As you can see, I have quite a few eggs I need to sell. The prices and egg moves are listed, just let me know which ones you're interested and--

[He's suddenly interrupted by a Tynamo floating into the screen near him. Archer tries to shoo her away, but that just seems to upset her. She moves to latch her x-shaped mouth onto his hand and shocks him.

Archer yelps and tries to pull her off, finding it impossible. Clearly there's only one solution.]

Kimblee!

[...yell for his Kimblee, obviously. The feed cuts out there.

It comes back on shortly thereafter, with Archer looking even more pissed than usual. His hand is bandaged though the injury doesn't seem to be too bad. Tynamo aren't very powerful, after all.]

As I was saying, I'll send the eggs wherever you need them, either through the Centers or with one of my Flying-types. Thank you for your time.

[And end feed!]

Comments

[action]

[explosivecombat]

[And after that feed is over, you have the most skeptical Kimblee in the world to deal with. Ladies and gentlemen, his commanding officer.]

I still haven't the vaguest idea how you manage to do these things to yourself, you know.

[determinator]

It wasn't my fault!

[Tyrant's just a bitch, okay.]

[video]

[artfuldestruction]

....

[[Kato was examining the list sent out by Archer when he manages to catch that....very dignified second broadcast there.

...you do realise that was absolutely hilarious, don't you

good lord

forcing down a smirk, Kato switches his Gear into the feed.]]

I'm interested in a few of these eggs, presuming everything is alright over there.

[video]

[determinator]

[It wasn't hilarious at all okay!!!]

Yes, yes, everything is fine.

[Tyrant's back in the ball and the injury isn't serious, so!]

Which eggs are you interested in?

[Rocket Video]

[cobraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

[Cobra watched the initial broadcast, and managed to catch the second one too before responding. He's not going to comment on it if he can avoid it, but what is with Rockets and their Pokemon lately? First Kato's monstrosity wrecks the lab, then Dist almost gets eaten by a Gyarados, then the same thing almost happens to that Luke brat, and now Archer's whatever that was.

He's going to have to start keeping a closer eye on his Pokemon to make sure he isn't next.]

Is that Ssssneasel still available, Archer?

[Rocket Video]

[determinator]

[Horrible luck all around, that's what it is. This thing isn't even microchipped!]

Yes, it is. Don't worry about the payment. Where are you located?

[...He's just going to act like that totally didn't happen!]

video

[islandshore]

[Oh, hey. It's that chill dude who bought some eggs off of him and recommended getting a Porygon-Z. Seems Riku's made at least some progress on that note, given the Porygon2 floating around in the background.

Upon catching the broadcast, he peruses the list. And when a particular set catches his eye...]

Geez, those are some tough Swinubs.

[And tough is good, given the weaknesses of ice types. Hmm...]

You got any experience with their evolved forms? Been thinking about adding another ice type to my roster.

video

[determinator]

[Oh, hello again. It seems the kid's taken his suggestion to get a Porygon; they are quite useful after all!]

Indeed they are. I haven't raised one myself, but my training partner has. I've fought against it several times and I can assure you that it's an incredibly powerful Pokémon. I've actually hatched the Swinub eggs to make sure they came with the correct moves, so you won't have to worry about hatching them.

[audio]

[darkenedgales]

[... Mother of Quetzalcoatl, that is one heck of a huge list of eggs. Some Crow has never even heard of in his life, and that itself says a lot concerning its quality, given the time he's spent in Johto. Which is why he can't help but let out an impressed whistle.]

Eggs, huh...

[There's a long, thoughtful hum on his end; technically, he's already got one egg to take care of, and he's been planning to focus on training with his team for the tournament rather than getting new babies to raise... but...]

Can't say I've heard of all of those; care to tell me what Flying-types you've got there? Birds, specifically.

[audio]

[determinator]

[Flying-types... let's see here...]

The birds I have are Murkrow, Skarmory, Natu, Togepi evolves into... well, I believe it's some sort of bird, and Torchic, though it's not a Flying-type.

I also have Zubat, Combee, Sigilyph, Drifloon, and Yanma. Do any of those interest you?

[Audio]

[leftinbasketforfbi]

I'd, uh, may I please buy one of the Eevee A eggs? [He really shouldn't get more eggs but come on they're so fascinating] I'm in Violet City, so it should be pretty easy to make a transaction.

[Audio]

[determinator]

Of course. I'll send it over to you right away.

[Video.]

[shakespearealien]

[While Gorthan isn't sadistically amused in any way - he swears - by the incident with the Tynamo, he does, however, seem to show a certain morbid interest in Archer's injury.]

How interesting... it seemed like a very powerful attack, for such a small body. What is that species?

[Video.]

[determinator]

Apparently they generate electricity somehow. It looks more like a Water-type than an Electric-type.

[Still a little mad over that, alright.]

She's a Tynamo; a friend of Kimblee's found her near the Power Plant in Kanto and sent her over. I've looked up her evolutions and she certainly looks like she'll be useful in the future. She's a very curious one - she has the ability Levitate and she's an Electric-type, meaning she doesn't have any weaknesses.

[Rocket video]

[meikyuubutterfly]

[That's... a fucking huge list, she'll give you that, and she is actually planning to get much more than one of those species.

But, considering her current roster, it lacks a common type.]

Got any grass types?

[Rocket video]

[determinator]

Let's see here... I have Snivy, Deerling, Turtwig, Petilil, Seedot, and Cacnea. Do any of those interest you?

[Video]

[usedwrench]

[Clearly buying little monsters is the best way to deal with Ed and Al going home.

Winry looks worried about that injury for a moment, but it really doesn't seem to be too bad according to her medical knowledge anyways, so...

Have a smile instead.]

Is one of those Minccinos still available?

[Video]

[determinator]

Ah, Miss Rockbell. I wasn't aware you were in Johto again.

[It's been quite some time! Ah, but onto more important matters--]

Yes, I take it you'd like one? Where shall I send it?

Video

[nasa_dreams]

I'll take that Riolu off your hands!

Video

[determinator]

Of course. Where would you like me to send it?

Video

[red_roses]

U-uhm....I would like to buy an egg...if it's not too much trouble...

Video

[determinator]

Of course it isn't. Is there any particular species or type you're interested in?

video

[kyoukashotennis]

[Ouch, looks like someone had some trouble with their Pokémon. Though it also seems that it's been taken care of pretty well. Shiraishi would know, he's been working with bandages for good a few years now. So he won't ask about that, now.

Though that's an impressive amount of eggs. Most of them are names he hasn't heard before. What sparks his interest today is grass types; There are a few with Grass type moves he's seen before, so it's easy to guess that they could be grass types... but you can never be too sure with Pokémon logic.

So have a kid who always has a bandage on his arm asking a curious question.]

I'm interested in the Cacnea. Is it a grass type?

video

[determinator]

Yes, Cacnea evolves into Cacturne, which is a Grass and Dark-type. It's an interesting Pokémon, though I haven't raised one myself.

[In fact, he should probably raise more Grass-types now that he thinks about it...]

text;

[doitrockapella]

That's an impressive list. You've got nearly a hundred eggs listed there.

text;

[determinator]

Indeed. I've been breeding Pokémon for the last six months; I figured it would be best to sell them all at once.

[video - rocket filter]

[saxsongs]

[Hmm. The difference between lists is pretty odd. Then again, it could be that he updated the list after the one for Rockets... but still, odd.

Though there's so many eggs it's almost unbelievable. Ren had thought there was a limit, but apparently not. Though if there's a discount for Rockets he might as well get himself a type he's lacking.]

That's impressive, sir. What water-types do you have?

[video - rocket filter]

[determinator]

I have quite a few Water-types available: there's Feebas, Tentacool, Eevee, which can evolve into Vaporeon, Shellder, Staryu, Shellos, Magikarp, Poliwag, Lapras, Kabuto, Squirtle, Mudkip, Oshawott, and Totodile. Do any of those interest you?

[dreamsofahero]

*oh, he remembers you from when his and Ryner's pokemon had eggs...*

Ah, I take it you've been getting on well with that spiritomb?

[determinator]

I have. It's a very interesting Pokémon. I'm rather fond of the typing, though it seems to be one of the very few with that type combination.

[rocket video]

[ortion]

[Oh, well that is a list. He browses through it a few times before deciding on something to request.]

I'll gladly take an Onix off your hands, Mr. Archer.

[Well, "gladly" isn't exactly the right word; he is so unsure about the fact that those are exploding Onix. But Onix evolves with Metal Coats so it would be good experiment material...

Also he's going to ignore the Tynamo incident because bro, he feels your pain. Sort of.]

[rocket video]

[determinator]

Of course. I'll have it sent to you right away. You're in Goldenrod, correct?

[We Rockets are an unlucky bunch. Also have fun with the exploding massive steelsnake that looks like it could eat you!!]

[video]

[enjoymyatelier]

[...should he be requesting eggs from this person after that...

ah well maybe it can be trained out of any potential offspring or it won't be a problem to begin with! SO]

I've been rather interested in training a Ghost type, but I admittedly don't have much experience. Which ones would you recommend?

[video]

[determinator]

[HEY HEY THAT WAS A FLUKE HIS OTHERS ARE WELL-BEHAVED because he threatens them with an Alakazam if they aren't BUT THAT'S NOT THE POINT.]

Ghost-types are absolutely fascinating. Let's see, there's Gastly which evolves into Gengar; it has a very odd type combination of Ghost and Poison, but it's Special Attack is quite impressive. There's Litwick, which is a Ghost and Fire-type, though it's final evolution does require the use of a stone. It also has an impressive Special Attack. There's Spiritomb, which is a Pokémon with no weaknesses due to its typing. Drifloon is a Ghost and Flying type that ah... is rather difficult to take down. [Also it looks like a balloon...] And finally, female Snorunts can evolve into Froslass, which is an Ice and Ghost type.

Do any of those sound like they would fit your team?

[voice] let's pretend i'm on time.

[supersnipe]

Letsee... I could use some eggs myself.

You still got any of the Lunatone and Vanillites left?

[voice]

[determinator]

I have both. I take it you're interested in them? Where would you like me to send them?
