determinator | ♕ TWELFTH COMMAND | VIDEO / ACTION [MAHOGANY TOWN, TEAM ROCKET BASE]

[ VIDEO ]

[The video feed opens to Archer playing with a Venipede. Said Venipede is glaring at the camera - how dare it take his trainer's attention away!]

I've been in Johto for one year.

[Yes, this is a very important announcement. Archer doesn't look up at the camera, instead continuing to toy with Kann's anntenae.]

To those of you who have been here for quite some time, have you decided that you want to stay here? Why or why not?

[To those of you familiar with Archer, he seems quite a bit distant today. The fact that he's not looking at the camera is one sure sign, but he's also looking a little... down, for lack of a better word. He's not even trying to be threatening. This must be a first!]

I'd appreciate any opinions, even from those of you who haven't been here for very long.

[He gestures airily and the Alakazam running the 'Gear turns it off.]

[ ACTION - MAHOGANY TOWN, TEAM ROCKET BASE ]

[Should you find yourself in Mahogany Town today and you decide to explore the Team Rocket Base (which really shouldn't be all that difficult to find if you know what you're looking for), you'll find that the place is rigged with Voltorbs that will explode as soon as they enter a battle. They're not the only threat, however! There are five Psychic-types just waiting beyond there, all with orders to attack any intruders. They're also high leveled, but don't worry! They'll at least let their trainer know before attacking you!

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to enter the base and either defeat the Psychic-types or persuade them to keep from attacking! Show them you mean no harm and they won't hurt you! After all, there might be something valuable or useful inside that base ~~probably not~~...

Archer is holed up in a room inside the base (Kimblee's old room, to be specific), still amusing himself by playing with Kann, the ridiculously powerful Venipede. Feel free to come bother him!]

[Train...ing... ahahahahahaha... hahaha... you're kidding right does Archer looks like he does anything but sit in Kimblee's house ~~eating donuts~~??]

I've been training my Pokemon; I've raised quite a few of them to the maximum level, but when I'm not doing that I'm studying. There's quite a lot of things to learn about the creatures here.

[A pause. A battle does sound good, however~]

I do hope you've improved your team and prepared them for double battles. I would certainly like to see your progress, Major.

[[ARCHER CLEARLY WE NEED TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THAT.....HOW ABOUT SOME MANLY WEIGHT LIFTING]]

Ah, I have been reading a few books on training myself! I find a good combination of the theoretical and the practical results in the best sort of understanding.

[[Battles are always okay! Hopefully with less bickering this time...]]

Now that my primary team have all reached the maximum level, I have been working on my secondary team! They're all roughly around the half-way mark, and doing quite well. Double battling is still a bit of a challenge for some of them, but what is a good battle without a bit of a challenge!

[[Let him pause and think for a moment.]]

Where are you located at present, Colonel?

Excellent. It's good to have a secondary team in case your primary one can't handle the types of Pokemon you must face.

[He's almost proud of you! You finally learned to box your Pokemon! \o/]

I'm currently in Mahogany Town, but I spend time in Goldenrod as well. Are you near either of them?

[[....YOU DON'T KNOW HOW LONG IT TOOK, ARCHER.....]]

Ah, alas, I am afraid I am in the vicinity of Violet City! My travelling partner has someone to pick up from New Bark Town, you see.

Would I be able to contact you once I return to Goldenrod?

Of course, that would be perfectly fine. Might I ask whom you're travelling with, Major?

Why, none other than the charming Lord Archibald! We have many things in common and have bonded quite well! Although he still seems somewhat resistant to my attempts at training with him...

[[And he ain't talking about Pokemon...]]

Regardless, it would be an honour to fight you again, Colonel sir. I promise that this time, I will present a suitable challenge!

[Oh, you mean that guy that looks like a blond Archer? He seems pretty decent.]

I can't imagine why...

[OH GOD RUN, LORD EL-MELLOI RUN]

Excellent. I look forward to it.
