4TH PIECE - [VIDEO/ACTION FOR THE GOLDENROD TEAM ROCKET BASE]

A - [VIDEO]

[[When the feed opens, it's slanted and awkward, as if the Gear had fallen to the ground and currently lies forgotten. There's a good reason for its owners forgetfulness, really; Kato's Zweilous has finally evolved into its final form, Hydreigon, and can currently be seen on the feed, snarling.

What makes it awkward is the fact that the person it is currently snarling at is its trainer, who is pressed up against the wall with an expression full of anger and fear. In the background lie fragments of what must have been a large, powerful machine.]]


Pluto, I am your master, and you will-!!

[[There's a sudden fiery flash of light, and a Flamethrower attack collides with the Hydreigon's side, causing it to shriek in fury and lunge forward. Not, however, at the Pokemon attacking it from offscreen, but at Kato, who isn't able to avoid the attack and starts screaming as the mindless beast digs its teeth into his upper arm, the duo falling to the ground as the feed cuts out.]]


B - [LOCKED VIDEO/ACTION]

[[The feed opens up again soon after, showing a non-descript hallway in what could be some sort of....warehouse? Factory? For those of it who are familiar with it, however, it's obviously the Team Rocket base, and sitting right in the middle of the hallway is a growling, shrieking Hydreigon, clawing at the walls and firing off Dark Pulse attacks up and down the hall. It's obviously seeking an escape but can't find one, and a bad burn spread across its side is causing it pain, only serving to make its rage increase.]]

Fire Flamethrower again!

[[The voice belongs to Kato, and a Typhlosion immediately appears on the screen, flames blazing across his back as he charges up and releases another fiercely powerful attack, colliding perfectly with the Hydreigon's other side. Kato doesn't appear on the feed but his presence is obvious, judging by the strained breathing heard in the background of the image. His own injury is aching, but he doesn't have the time to get it treated. Not, at least, until his rogue Pokemon is brought to heel.]]



C - [LOCKED AUDIO/ACTION]

[[It's later on, and Kato's Hydreigon has been successfully subdued. The scientist is currently sitting in the laboratory, looking murderous, while a nervous assistant wraps a bandage around his injured arm. He's discarded his glasses, coat and cravat, and looks incredibly dishelleved. His hair is untidy, his black shirt untucked, unbuttoned and half-off while the poor assistant does her best to give him first aid. With his good arm, Kato punches a few numbers into his Gear, not really in the mood to send a video message while he's half-naked.]]

If my Pokemon caused you or your property any damage, report it to me. I'm in my lab.

[[Once he finishes speaking, he shoves the Gear back into his pocket, snarling in pain as the bandage pulls against his wound.]]

Will you be careful?




[[OOC: Just pop the letter corresponding to the option you'd like in your subject line! And yes, the video feed is unlocked, so non-members are free to engage Kato in option A should you like to! :>]]

[Gorthan responds with a small, slightly forced smirk.]

As always, "he who sows the wind"... and so on. You yourself admit that your apparent shock is unjustified, then.

Tell me of your failings as a parent. And if you will listen, in return, I will tell you of mine.

Oh come on, that was fun!

[Ahh, good times. Now if only Team Rocket would let him drive again... Oh, what's that? Still bleeding, are you? Ryuunosuke tips his head a bit at that, but he's distracted by Kato's words quickly enough.]

He's around level 80, so I'm getting up there! I'm really glad Mister Kimblee gave him to me; he's so useful! Have you seen the way Mister Kimblee rides on him? I've been trying to learn how to do that, but it's a lot tougher than it looks! I guess balancing isn't one of my numerous talents!

Or too little time, perhaps.

Though unless you have some other method you plan to use, won't further 'training' just make it worse?

[...ah. Wow. Is there even a proper way to respond to this that isn't "nice job breaking it," because seriously, nice job breaking it. He isn't even sure what you've broken, but...]

Well, I must say that was quite the impressive display, though obviously quite the unintentional one. Are we to assume you're still in one piece, then?

[...well, it takes Reaver a moment to figure out that tilting the 'Gear like that's going to change your camera angle will not, in fact, do anything; however, he's seen a fair amount from those previous two videos of yours, Kato.]

And dare I ask what this "that" in question is?

A. this is good and you should feel good.

[Luke is smirking broadly, absolutely unsympathetic to Kato's plight. In fact--]

EAT HIM! C'MON, GO FOR THE NECK!

[He's just. Slow-clapping over here.]

Having some discipline troubles?

NO! GET OVER THERE, KEEP--

[But alas, off wanders the Hydreigon, and Luke is left sneering disdainfully as Kato comes into view.]

Ha! Not feeling so good now, huh?
bellyshirt: (♪ Who does she think she is?)

[personal profile] bellyshirt 2012-09-12 02:30 am (UTC)(link)
[There's a flash of defensive anger in Luke's face because yes, he was precisely thinking that way, but he stifles it.]

Nah, it's just nice seeing you get taken down a peg or five.

There's a third method, actually, but from the sound of it you'd be even less interested in it than either of the others.

But in any case, I'd advise you to keep today's post in mind when considering your options. For your own sake as much as any other's.

[Luke's sneer morphs into an all-out snarl.]

Just wait until I get my hands on you...!!

I certainly will. Once I've finished my business here, I plan to revisit the base. It's been quite some time since I've been there, and I plan to make up for lost time!

Oh, believe me, I noticed.

[And he does not seem deterred by all that rationality you are displaying over there; his attention is on the dragon.]

I suppose one could say that dealing with high-spirited and rather violent creatures with absolutely no self-control is a bit of an interest of mine. Do let me know how much you'll take, in terms of monetary compensation, for one of its offspring - assuming you can convince anything to spawn with it, of course.

[Because really, Logan's been engaging in quite the game of pass-the-infants around with one of our coworkers; like hell if Reaver is going to pass up the opportunity to do the same.]
