"Funny" [break][break]

Not really, but its not like he knows many of Theo's peoplem heck if Gavin wasn't in his labs he wouldn't even know of him. [break][break]

"Eventually, for now I need to wait for a pick up seeing as I don't have a water pokemon for easy travel," He turns his cards after the final bets were made taking the pot with a full house, and he smiles. "Meanwhile I can just enjoy the company of these fine people as I take their money," he jokes as he plays on the charm which gets a laugh out of the others for this game at least. [break][break]

"Care for another round? Something tells me you'll get a good hand," he questions as he holds up two chips offering to buy the other in again.

Pryde has little knowledge of Hoenn let alone Sootopolis so admittedly he probably isn't a great choice for this mission. However he wasn't one to question orders, just follow and adapt. Thankfully the person he was with today was very familiar with the island. So for now he waited with his Luxray beside him considering their eyes he know the cat would be best for the job. [break][break]

Luxray gives a warning growl as someone was coming close, at first Raphael makes sure to question how many. When confirmed only one person he waits until, "Mr. Anderson I assume?" he questions as the other approaches as most patrols from what he's been told so far have always been in pairs.

No, that's what the experimentation was for, though it wasn't like his old labs were available to him anyways. He was sure the labs here had other things to focus on. Just like he needed to focus on the battle. "I think its a tad late from preventing the rust," he shrugs, "Between injuries and school," because what better comparison was there to Prison. Couldn't speak openly in front of any lookie loos after all. "I'm quite out of practice" [break][break]

Pyroar takes the hit becoming paralyzed meaning her movements would be limited. Though she didn't need to move much to react to a quick whistle as Pyroar created balls of flame to launch at the Luxray to INCINERATE them.

"So you say," while comforting the other was never his goal. He was a young man now, not a child. Yet he prefers control, so as usual he'll play nice as he smiles at the younger man. "But remember you're always free to share your thoughts with me." [break][break]

With that he'll focus a bit more on the battle, not reacting much as the Grundge pokemon suffered a burn. Though it didn't seem to react much. Maybe it's stone was as rusty as Pryde himself was with battles. The rubble spins a bit as Pryde snaps his fingers to go in for the attack. Energy collecting in their hands before sending off a SHADOW BALL to send off at the smaller ghost pokemon.

Despite the pressure bring displayed Pryde showed no interest in the mini whale that came up from the water. In the end they would all fear getting burned as Pryroar aims to INCINERATE the water type making them flee after getting burned.

”Without the labs? Perhaps,” he gives one of the others at the table a challenging glance, their natural competitive nature making them bet more. [break][break]

”Yes, I heard your protégé has gone quite far?” he’s heard reports, but its always nice to get a confirmation.

”Does Rockets not have Avatars under you that these experiments could be happening in your steed?” from the reports he’s heard there should be 4 avatars, and that’s excluding Hoenn’s top man. [break][break]

Raphael can’t help but tilt his head at the other with how tired he sounds. A brow raises as he wonders where that could lead. But he puts it aside for now due to it’s improbability. He ponders for a moment as he thinks over trying to find an unaffiliated. ”What of capturing one of the league? One unaffiliated could be persuaded,” he comments before his mind ponders of something else, “ do you know if any of you give off an energy signature?

”I’m not blind no, but one of my arms is fake,” he would show the boy but that would be moot, though he would raise it for the seeing eye Rotom to see at least. ”Different challenges I have no doubt,” he smiles to hear how its the lack of ability to see that drove him. ”That’s good, the world can be cruel at times so making yourself stronger is always a good idea,” at least in his opinion. [break][break]

As he spoke me made sure to keep an eye on the battle, Pyroar bracing herself as the Pyro Ball struck her. Though the fire typing of it at least allowed her to resist some of the damage that struck her body. He gives a double click and Pyroar moves, going from afar to trying to get up close as he bares her fangs as she attempts to CRUNCH down

”Never said there was anything wrong with that,” there was, but that was a different conversation all together. ”Just always comes across childish when you seem like a fine young man,” he compliments as the battle starts. Seems like toxic seeps in which is helpful, but in the end he knows it won’t be enough. He makes a double click of his tongue as his Nidoking bulldozes his way through the Earth Power despite the pain. [break][break]

Nidoking’s horn glows green before it extends as he aims to ram the horn at the dancing pokemon.

The moment a dratini popped up it’s head Pyroar was quick to aim a flamethrower at the dragon. The baby dragon quickly going back into the water to hide. Onward ahead then as it wasn’t what he was aiming for anyways.

He walks through the watery path of the safari, seeing what else there could be. Pausing slightly by the tiny fish but in the end finding no interest in it. There was better prey.

It takes a bit but he's able to get the inventory he needs much quicker than most grunts, as sample collection swas a normal thing for him. "We thankfully didn't lose as much, the slow nature of the slowpoke made their escapes few, but we might need to send some people to hunt for more Shelder as otherwise we only have slowpoke for the sales." [break][break]

=By my calulations, considering the time and resources needed to gather back the shelder, over what the buyers are paying Rocket will suffer a loss of 42% of the the original profit, suggestion: charge more=

Now that sounded more familiar. Pryde looks up as the wind picks up as the same pressure from the sub can be once more felt here. He doesn't think he won't stop being facinated by such a creature.[break][break]

"Understood, I'll make sure of their conditions" though admittedly he's still weary of the one officer still there
