"Really? So then you tell them up front that their donations go toward Rocket activity?" because he's sure everyone who believes in faith would love to know that the money they hope to go to the church goes toward what they viewed as criminals. Though maybe his own lack of faith made him seem cold toward it. "That's fair to assume seeing as I grew in a home that didn't really celebrate these things," well he just didn't participate after the hurt came as a kid and felt none of them were worth it. [break][break]

He ponders for a moment at the invite as he goes over toward the desk with another of the lab's rules was on the desk '06. Obey your superior's orders absolutely.' Interesting, "I suppose I could make some time"[break][break]

"The simple answer is that we made them stronger than the normal, they sadly won't last as long but it worked for what was needed, though what does a man of god find interest in genetic manipulation?"

Pryde can't help but blink at the trio of pokemon in front of him. Two of them were things of pure legend and honestly didn't seem like something that should even be here. The last one he's never heard of. Though he knows he's heard a few people in the audience say something about 'Ultra Beast' or some crap like that. Seems like someone was not wanting to play nice in these silly games. [break][break]

Its because they're all such an unknown to him 'Lloyd' decides on his three pokemon. "Lets weaken them," he orders as he snaps his fingers with his good hand. From there the team works together as Grapploct uses LEER on the trio to try and lower their defense. Cursola uses CURSE hurting herself as he aims to put a curse on Heatran. Finally Jellicent dances around it's team casting RAIN DANCE, as while he is not too familiar with the red beast he knows a fire type when he sees it. [break][break]

He has no doubt that he'll lose this, but he won't go down without being annoying as fuck.

Raphael was only slightly late, but this was more because he was picking up a vehicle for them to deliver the pokemon. He was at the back where the hand off was meant to happen. Their person on the inside should have disabled the camera by now so they couldn't be seen. Exiting the car he takes a few steps forward though he stays further behind. The older Rocket is there mostly to observe and watch the newer member. See just how Hoenn Rocket does. [break][break]

Finally the door gives a click as a red head comes out, nervous as she comes out with a pokemon in a cage. She seems to be second guessing herself about this. However this was their man, from what he's been informed the lass had come across hard times and needed the money. "They're.... you're not going to hurt them much are you?" she can't help but question. Once more Pryde is quiet, taking a back seat to this.

As the pastor uses his bird Pryde decides to use a pokemon that had much better use of it's hands than many of his others. Calling on a Reuniclus and handing them a chip as they hover over toward another camera making sure not to be seen. "We will have to put them on as many as we can, which was why I gave you several," he answers back as he checks his phone to ensure the chips were online and connected properly. [break][break]

"I was told you know this place like the back of your hand, think you can lead us to more? Luxray here will ensure to warn us if anyone comes near."

“Well it's not like field work was my thing to begin with,” Raphael comments as he takes a quick look at his arm to make sure the fighting with the pirates on deck didn't do much damage to it. He will head over toward the wheel of the ship make sure no warnings were set out before the Rocket pair had gotten rid of everyone. [break][break]

"Shall we head over then?" he questions as he takes a seat at the wheel since he was the one with their location. Though Theo was technically in charge so he'll let the big bad admin make the choice.

"So exploiting others for their beliefs," sounded very Rocket say the least. He doesn't say it in a way where it sounds judgmental though, just a fact off hearsay. As he retrieves the pokeball with his new tool in toe another ghost seems to float on by. It bounces in the air in place as it circles him. As if judging the man for something when it seems to feel something akin to the scientist. Sensing an emptiness within him just like their was an emptiness within her. Although her emptiness allowed air for her to float. So the driftloon wraps one of her strings around his wrist lifting it up, as if to UNBURDEN him of weight like she was. [break][break]

If only things were so simple. He'll give it an amused smile at most but allows it to continue to hold his arm as if it seemed to try befriending him. [break][break]

"A tad more on the practical side, in Kanto my division was responsible for genetically altering pokemon to make them stronger than the norm," he explains briefly as the driftloon played with his arm seeming to bring him closer to another desk.

“Thank you for the information,” Pryde’s smile widens at the injured pirate in his hand. Holding them over the starboard side of the boat. Having promised her she would be let go should he sell out her fellow mates. And he was a man of his word as he let go, dropping her into the water. Though before she could even try to swim away to safety blue tentacles come up and begin to drag her down into the sea. [break][break]

Raphael turns back toward Theo, knowing he had been waiting as he pried the information about where these Pirates have been taking things. “And how was that?”

Pryde just chuckles at the two, for now humoring the idea that the pokemon had a choice. [break][break]

The same moment Pyroar crunched her teeth into the rabbit's foot Raphael snaps his fingers to call her off. It allowed her enough time to let go before the DOULBE KICK could strike. Though a moment later and he snaps his fingers once more to get her on the prowl once more. This time going in with a HEADBUTT before the Ciderace could fully try and get up if they had tried to. [break][break]

If they were lucky this battle wouldn't last much longer.

"Those that leave are weak then, all of these things seem like they make Hoenn an interesting place," he muses in response as he watches the battle. Thanks to her paralysis moving proved too difficult to get out of reach for the BITE that caused his Pyroar to FLINTCH. [break][break]

So he doesn't bother with another command, its clear even if she wanted she couldn't even strike back.
