3rd Stitch - Text/Action for Rocket Base

[scizor_sister]

This is probably in the Pokédex somewhere, but that thing's really boring. So you all get to help me instead!

[You are all so lucky.]

In your experience, which monsters are the best at exploding? Ones that aren't piles of trash.

[She's asking for a friend, really.]

Comments

[artificialrose]

Hearing someone like you ask for something like that is really pretty worrying.

[scizor_sister]

Oh, there's no need to worry. It'd take more than an explosion to hurt me.

[artificialrose]

[But everyone else...]

I see.

Does this have something to do with that bizarre video that went over the network?

[Garry didn't comment on it, but mostly because that sort of bizarre crap is something he'd like to avoid.]

[scizor_sister]

Maybe.

[Everyone else clearly should've thought of that before deciding to be squishy little flesh-creatures, obviously.]

I'm not planning to blow up any television studios, if that's what you're asking.

[artificialrose]

Does that mean you're planning to blow up some other building? Or is this really just something for battle?

[scizor_sister]

Do I really seem like someone who would just go around blowing up buildings willy-nilly?

[Yes.]

I'm a little insulted.

Besides, if I was planning on it anytime soon I wouldn't broadcast it until afterward. That would just be tacky.

[artificialrose]

Oh, so you'd do it with flair then?

[Team Flare?]

[scizor_sister]

[She would be all over Team Flare so fast...]

I do everything with flair!

But if it makes you feel better, then yes, it is just for battles.

[Battles which might happen to be against buildings.]

[artificialrose]

[Their outfits are pretty snazzy, even Garry will admit]

I see... [He has a baaaaad feeling about this.] If I had to guess, looking into fire or electric types would probably get results like that. That's just the logical conclusion.

[scizor_sister]

[TRUST YOUR FEELINGS GARRY.]

Well. That's some help, I guess.

[You're probabaly not getting an actual 'thank you'. That might not be a bad thing.]

Maybe I'll see if Etincelle can learn to do it, she's a little bomb-shaped.

[artificialrose]

What kind of Pokemon is she?

[scizor_sister]

An electric type. And part ghost, I think?

[The single most attentive trainer ever, right here.]

They're called Rotom, anyway.

[artificialrose]

[Nui pls]

Rotom... They're common here in Goldenrod, or at least I seem to see them quite a bit.

[scizor_sister]

There did seem to be a few of them floating around the department store.

I suppose if she can't learn to explode herself I might be able to teach her to blow up electronics.

[artificialrose]

I am positive you're not allowed to blow up electronics in a battle.

[scizor_sister]

[A bit of a pause before the next message comes through.]

Is that written down anywhere, do you know?

Because that would be boring.

[And now she's wondering exactly what the legal limits on a battle are.]

[artificialrose]

There are limited things you can use in Pokemon battles.

Rotom seems like a unique case from what I've heard, although I'm by no means an expert, so there may be things specifically for it.

[rarestcandy]

gee lemme just go get my list because that's not AT ALL suspicious

[scizor_sister]

I'm just asking about Pokémon. I'd hardly think that's all that suspicious!

[text]

[explosivecombat]

[...Oh, honey, no.]

Now, why would you ask us all something like that, hm?

Re: [text]

[scizor_sister]

It seems like it could be useful in battle. That's what we're here for, isn't it? Fighting with these monsters?

[It is clearly a perfectly innocent question about battle tactics. That's her story and she's sticking to it.]

[explosivecombat]

You do realize that it causes your Pokémon to faint afterwards, correct? Letting them explode like that, I mean.

[Clearly, that is the concern here. The fact that you can only do it once.]

[scizor_sister]

Oh, they do survive then? That's good.

[See, now that is the kind of useful information she was hoping for.]

They make medicine for fainting, right? Revive?

[explosivecombat]

They do, and the Pokémon Centers will still heal them even if they've fainted. It's a free service, and they tend to not ask exactly how it happened.

A few things learn Explosion by just gaining levels, but several others can learn it via TMs or HMs. Is there something in particular you like raising? Particular traits or appearances?

[scizor_sister]

[The TM's sound promising. Training these monsters the old fashioned way isn't HARD, exactly, but she's found it pretty tedious.]

Something that doesn't look like a literal pile of garbage would be a start.

[Priorities.]

If there's one that can actually manage to look elegant, that would be perfect, but as long as it's got power I'm sure I can find a way to cope.

[shest]

That seems a foolish thing to ask in public.

Re: text;

[scizor_sister]

Really? People ask about battle tactics all the time, don't they?

[That is clearly what this is about, and everyone is just way too suspicious.]

[shest]

You ask this not long after a person broadcasted their attack.

You'll have to forgive me if I'm suspicious of your intentions.

[scizor_sister]

It might have piqued my curiosity a little.

[Mostly cause she's pretty sure she could do better.]

It's still a legitimate tactic in battle, isn't it?

[shest]

Tell me you plan on using something more pleasant than a pile of garbage for battles.

[scizor_sister]

Obviously.

[If she were really, REALLY desperate to disguise herself in the process, MAYBE. But normally? Never. What do you take her for?]

I do have something of an image to maintain.

[shest]

[He doesn't have any idea! For all he knows, you could be into blowing up a Pokemon that smells like garbage.]

In any event I'm not sure how much I'll be able to help you. I'm not familiar with what Pokemon can do beyond the ones I have.

None of them can explode at will.

......i made my gyarados blow something up with hyper beam does that count

Re: text;

[scizor_sister]

...A little.

[She still doesn't quite believe that giant sea serpent came out of that useless little fish.]

How big of a something?

[Inquiring minds want to know. For science.]
