First Antic :: [Audio/Action in Rocket HQ]

--and that's why I think whoever designed this is...ah, would ya look at that! Rantin' to it works! [The voice on this connection is pretty young sounding, if a little more like a kid than a teenager.]

Well, glad to see this thing finally wants to work! Whoever designed this is a complete maroon, but I already ranted about that.

Question for all'a ya! Don't suppose these creatures comes with a translator, do they? Havin' a hard time attempting to understand mine, and I was wonderin' if anyone had a solution for that this side of Albuquerque.

...And if there's a place to get some cigars and snacks--it'd definitely be a perk right now!

[Action: Goldenrod (Rocket HQ)]

[Once that feeds over with, Peacock turns the PokeConnect off and goes back to what she was doing before; exploring with a giant metal bird! This place was certainly interesting; looked like it had more to it than all of the labs put together, and that in itself could be an achievement! Avery just followed along to make sure she wasn't going to do anything too stupid...

So, Peacock will be exploring the entire HQ of her own accord, exploring every place she's allowed in! ...And probably a few that she isn't allowed in with Avery squawking behind her, let's be honest. She'd rather not be caught per se, but the more the merrier right?]

[Well Peacock, you're not the only new member of Team Rocket exploring the place! Ripto isn't interested in having his Pokémon follow him around, however, since it's... well. It's a dragon. And we do not discuss dragons.]

Hey, watch where you're going!

[You don't mind if Ripto eyes that bird suspiciously, do you? Of course you don't. It's an interesting design, sure, but that thing could easily slice up this new, fleshy body of his...!]

And would it kill you to put that monstrosity away?

[video] Don't feel obligated to have Peacock switch or anything - Jade's just most used to video!

[eclectical]

They don't, unfortunately! It would be a lot easier if they did... but you sort of learn to understand them after a while.

I don't know about cigars, but most towns have at least a few shops where you can buy snacks!

[A translator... Well now, that is a brilliant idea!]

I don't believe there's any translators here. For speaking with your Pokémon, that is. It seems that everyone understands each other regardless of what language they originally spoke. So in a sense, I suppose we all have built-in translators here! Unless Johto has simply decided that we all need to speak the same language and altered our brains. I really wouldn't be surprised at this point.

[Oh right, there was a point to all this, wasn't there?]

Figuring out just what your Pokémon are saying could be difficult. Very difficult. Ah, but it would be worth it in the end! Imagine - a universal device that allows you to communicate with your Pokémon fully! To understand exactly what they're saying! It would be magnificent.

[Yeah, sorry Peacock. He's off in his own little world now.]

You can't understand what it's saying?

[Because can't everyone talk to animals?]

[combat_butler]

Having one that can emote helps!

... and alarmingly I actually do know where to find cigars and snacks. Though the cigars are a bit expensive.

[[If Peacock happens to wander near the labs, she might hear a rather massive 'BANG' coming from one of them; inside is a fellow admiring his Electrode, holding a strange looking device and waving it around enthusiastically.]]

That was magnificent, Coulomb. The energy reading is a new record!

[[....said Electrode, however, is smoking, twitching and looks dead-behind-the-eyes. Using Explosion constantly will do that to a pokemon, but....details, details-

....oh, hello there]]

I do hope you're not going to ask me to keep it down. There is science being done.

[foolishwren]

Do you have translators back home for like... squirrels and stuff?

Just asking.
