"HA!" Ambrose let out a hearty chuckle, the stranger's inquiry was unintentionally amusing to the experienced rocker. "I couldn't teach Ripper anything he doesn't already know. The Mime family of pokemon are natural masters of the performing arts! It's instinct!" Ripper continued to spin, seemingly growing more joyful with every passing rotation.

"I am trying to attract more Mimes to add to my menagerie. It is a little known fact that they attracted to the dancing of other Mimes--though Ripper here is having trouble hitting the choreography." Ambrose turned his head to Ripper, his friendly face hardening. "Break's over, get back to the high kicks!" Ripper stopped on a dime, laughing childishly as he began to kick his nubby legs high into the air.

"Higher--higher! I want to see the clouds part! My grandmother can kick higher than you and she's dead!"

"No--uh uh--more feeling--not that much--"

Ambrose stood with his arms crossed, glaring intensely at Ripper the Mime Jr as it performed a series of dances. Do not mistake Ambrose's harsh tone for anger, he just tended to be passionate when it came to the performing arts. Especially when he believed the performance to be important; their dance needed to be perfect if they wanted to attract more Mime Jr to their location.

Luckily Ripper seemed to be oblivious to its master's demeanor, joyfully changing dances on command and absorbing every piece of blunt feedback without complaint. Performing was in its blood, it had no problem adapting on the fly. "Kick your legs higher--not that high--you're wobbling--you're wobbling!"

Ambrose's concentration was broken by the approach of footfalls behind him. He turned his head, his eyebrows raising as he spotted a man and his Lucario heading their way. "Ah! Company! See that Ripper, we already have an audience." He turned away from Ripper, leaving the mime merrily spinning in place. Ambrose waved down the hikers, "Lovely day for a stroll, eh boys?"

The man's eyes shifted into a half-open leer, his smile stretching as the boy pointed to himself. "Well well, aren't we a man of talent. My compliments to the chef." The man let out a chuckle, which gradually increased in intensity until it resembled an evil cackle. He abruptly stopped, sighing heavily before taking another bite of curry. "Mmm--love that kick!"

The man shot a hand across the table, "The name's Ambrose. It's a pleasure to meet you." Whether the boy reciprocated the greeting would not matter, Ambrose would eventually retract his hand and continue eating the delicious curry. Moments later he would continue to try and strike up a friendly conversation, completely unaware of his unnerving demeanor.

"So how long have you been with um---you know, these guys?"

The door to the hideout abruptly slammed open, a towering figure stepping through the threshold and kicking the door closed behind him. Heavy footfalls echoed across the derelict plant as the man made his way to the center of the living space, pausing to take a cursory look at his surroundings. The industrial lights reflected off of his aviator sunglasses, which he removed as he resumed his trek across the hideout.

He made his way directly toward the delicious food he had smelled from outside. As he approached the curry, he would lean over to examine the countertop it sat upon. "Hm." He seemed amused by something he observed. A slight smile graced his lips as he helped himself to a bowl. I mean it was just sitting out here, surely it was up for grabs.

The man turned, his intense gaze settling upon Raju in the corner. The man's mouth twisted into an ominous grin. With only a few strides he would be upon the young cook, inviting himself to Raju's corner. "Hey there."

The man greeted Raju with a bizarre familiarity, as if they had known each other for years. The man took a bite of the curry, relishing the spicy burst of flavor before letting out a dry chuckle. "Whoever left this out is a saint, this is good shit. Did you spy them by chance?"

AMBROSE'S INFAMY FILE

PUBLIC KNOWLEDGE X PRIVATE KNOWLEDGE

INTRODUCTORY BLURB

I'M THE BIGGEST THING SINCE WORLD WAR 3

Meet a rock legend from Unova's past. Decades ago he disappeared without a trace at the height of his fame, only reemerging once his name had long faded into obscurity. While he seeks to reignite his career, Ambrose is far from the icon he once was. He is an excessively eccentric tortured artist, his brain fried from years of living the rockstar lifestyle. Is he truly a lost soul looking to recapture his glory days, or is he using the mask of a burnt-out rocker to disguise a darker agenda? Jump into the rabbit hole (and my dms) to find out.

PUBLIC KNOWLEDGE

WHAT CAN BE LOOKED UP

Ambrose's life up to his disappearance is well documented. Anyone can find countless interviews, documentaries, and articles detailing his rise to fame and every step of his rock career. Ambrose's persona as a haughty anarchist with a passion for individualism and self expression created the backbone of every one of his controversies, achievements, and public misadventures. He was once akin to a force of nature; whenever Ambrose would appear in your town you were either pumped for a legendary party or terrified of the destruction that would be left in his wake.

Presently, anyone who somehow recognizes him would be well aware of his unexplained disappearance. Additionally, any immoral actions he would be caught doing would be well within character and thus likely written off as one of his shenanigans.

LEAGUE KNOWLEDGE

POINTS OF INTEREST FOR THE LEAGUE FACTION

Ambrose does not interact with League officials if he can help it, and thus they would likely have no knowledge beyond what is publicly known.

That can always change though.

ROCKET KNOWLEDGE

POINTS OF INTEREST FOR TEAM ROCKET FACTION

Like the League, Ambrose has no interest or reason to interact with Team Rocket more than he needs to. Some astute grunts may recognize his face from visiting the Hoenn's Black Markets, but it would be hard to place him as anything other than a frequent customer.

PRIVATE KNOWLEDGE

PERSONAL SECRETS
