Backdated to the 27th [Anonymous Text/Video/Action in Violet]

[Early on the 27th, Anonymous]

Looks like team Rocket's not the only ones out there. There are two other groups, called Team Aqua and Team Magma. Apparently they're rivals. Obviously, they deserve points for originality, here.

Wonder how long it's going to take them to be active here.

[Then, later in the day, Dirk makes a post from the Violet City Pokemon Center. He flashes a Zephyr badge before tucking it away.]

About time I got this. It'll be easier to go linear now. I could've done without the lecture, though. As if I'm going to go against a Gym leader with a team below thirty-five if I can help it. Treating pokemon like cannon fodder isn't any kind of long-term strategy.

[Dirk would only encourage it, anyway. If Bro can get his shades stolen by a pokemon, he doesn't have the right to them, in Dirk's opinion.]

I'll give them a breather, they deserve it. But we're leaving soon, so I'm not about to rest that long.

[ She nods once. ]

Where are you headed next?

[shippingmath]

Down toward Violet, then on to Goldenrod. Aradia's headed to some Breeder's thing.

Aradia's traveling with you? I wasn't aware. That does sound pretty exciting, though. Potentially egg inducing, too!

She's been traveling with Jake since before I got here, I just tagged along. It's been profitable for eggs so far, I've let her use some of my pokemon for her shit.

Oh, I see. I'll remember that for future reference.

[ Like in the instance she decides to send out gifts for any reason whatsoever, which she very well might. ]

I hope your travels go smoothly. Really, though, I doubt you guys'll have any trouble.

[He won't suspect gifts, mostly because he's still not used to getting them.]

We're not likely to, but I've heard rumors that this place likes to throw curveballs.

[ Then he may very well find himself surprised. ]

You know, I'd be surprised if it didn't. Anything in particular out of the ordinary?

[shippingmath]

Mostly ghost pokemon pulling shit, from what I've heard.

Ah, that's right. The ghosts in this world are more common than the ones back on Gaia. I guess that would be something to watch out for.
