[[Kato has been fairly quiet for the past month or two, spending the majority of his time in the Rocket laboratories, focused solely on his research. Now, he's decided that it's worth updating the rest of the Team with his findings.

The video opens with a view of Kato from the waist up, standing in front of an open area of the lab. There's an odd machine sitting behind him, out of view, and his Lunatone hovers near his head, as always.]]


Good day, everyone. I hope this video finds you well.

My name is Dr Kato; I'm one of the scientists working in the Goldenrod labs. My main area of study is weapons, particularly explosives. For this reason, those Pokemon capable of performing the Explosion technique are of great interest to me. I thought it was high time that I gave you all a bit of a sample of just what I've been investigating.

I've noticed that the main way in which Pokemon perform the Explosion technique is chaotic, unrefined; they simply trigger it without aiming at anything in particular, releasing all that energy in a destructive force that is contained to a specific radius. This is a complete waste of potential. A regular bomb is designed to work in this fashion, but Pokemon are different. They can be used as living bombs, with their power constantly improved and increased, capable of producing explosion after explosion after explosion. Why, then, should we be satisfied with these extraordinary creatures performing like ordinary bombs?

Why not gather all that energy and condense it? Imagine a bomb with the power of six Explosion techniques, or ten, or one hundred! That is what my research has developed. A machine capable of taking the power of the Explosion technique from multiple Pokemon, and using it to charge a super-powered bomb. Just imagine the damage we could do with a weapon like this!

But enough talk; I believe a demonstration is in order.

Said demonstration is under here, to save your flists. )

Two months from now I will illuminate Johto with the power of my invention! Thank you very much for listening.

[[And with a dramatic, graceful bow, the feed cuts.]]

[[OOC: Kato's invention is mod-approved! o/]]
artfuldestruction: (GUESS WHAT)
[[Even though the plot may not have succeeded, Kato has found himself fired up tremendously since his mission with Kimblee. He's been working through all hours of the night, assembling and dissembling new creations, optimizing his designs. There's a wealth of charged weapons in all stages of development littering his portion of the lab, from simple blueprints to devices requiring nothing more than a polish.

He appears on the video feed, now, dressed in his usual outfit with the mask in place. Leaning forward slightly, he peers into the camera, smirking.]]


I should congratulate you all on a job well done.

[[He doesn't elaborate on just what he's congratulating you all on, quickly moving forward with his speech, his voice animated and lush.]]

Isn't it intoxicating? The way a powerful, immovable structure can crumble into nothing but dust floating through the sky, battered by the wind. Our universe is truly a fascinating thing, wouldn't you say?

I live for that destruction. That decomposition. The brilliant flare of an explosion, the power that rockets through the air, oh! Is there no greater feeling?! To know that you have caused the demolition of something huge, something enormous?! Can you understand that power?!

[[Slamming his hands down on the bench, Kato chuckles softly, fingers curling.]]

My Pokemon...have learned a new technique. I have my own personal bombs, capable of endless explosions!! And they only grow stronger as the days pass! Soon they will have the combined capacity to take out entire buildings! I won't even have to lift a finger!

Isn't that truly magnificent, Johto?!

[[Guys. It's hard being this well-adjusted.]]
