I don't really give a fuck if You-know-who-you-are is reading this or not, but I know at least Team Rocket's not stupid to pull anything during grad or prom. You know why? Because in about the last month or so, the school's fended off an infestation of demon birds, and an invasion force. What do you think think would happen if they trash a party with this entire fighting school in one room? Especially a party everyone's been looking forward to for weeks?

Yeah, they'd get their sorry asses handed t'them by the entire faculty and a lotta pissed off students.

And now that we don't have classes and finals anymore? Yeah, damn straight Team Rocket better watch their shit if they feel like making a comeback. They're the ones oughta be afraid of us.

So anyway. Congrats to everyone who's graduatin' and shit. How many've you are there, anyway? Is anyone sticking around t'take college credits, or are you all goin' off and getting jobs?

So. You guys have any grad plans? I think I'm gonna go and check it out. Seems like your kinda thing, Sis - I mean, you like dancing an' all.

Red, Sonny, Kojiro, are you guys coming? Apparently you don't need a date t'go.

Elis? I know you haven't been here long, but... I dunno, maybe you'll meet some new people. Or something.

= = =

Hey. Haven't seen you in a while. I wasn't planning on goin' to prom with a date or anything, but... I figure, since I screwed up Valentine's for you so royally, I should at least make it up t'you with a dance, right?

You'll have t'teach me how though, cuz whenever Sis tries she just trips over her own tail.

What exactly is Team Rocket? I've seen it come up a few times now, but I have no idea what it really is. They some kind of gang?

They're a criminal organization that used t'be based in Kanto, where some've the Pokemon students are from. There's pretty much nothing they didn't do. Theft, exploitation, enslaving Pokemon and using'em for experiments... pretty much tried t'take over the world. Lot've people got hurt, or killed cuz've them.

They disbanded years ago, but there're still pockets around, wanting t'make a comeback. Their boss never faced justice either - he ran, and now he's teaching at the school.

[Gee that all sounds kind of familiar. Everyone has their share of problems, it seems.]

...Hn, I see. So if he's teaching here, you think he might have something to do with what's been going on?

That's the thing: I don't know. He's only here cuz Kanto law can't touch him - but if he pulls any stunts in FDC, he's nailed. I can't think of why he'd risk it.

Could always be one of the pocket factions, but that doesn't make it any less dangerous.

Maybe he isn't. Like you said, maybe it's a smaller group. Goons can be pretty persistent if they get it into their heads to be... There's this gang I broke up years ago, the Sharks. I'm actually on pretty good terms with their old leader. But they ended up coming all the way out here just to stir up some trouble! Five years later!

They're both in whole different leagues though, so maybe it's not really the best comparison. Property damage is a lot different than kidnapping and stuff.

~~Also I heard dropping dead is kind of unhealthy so you'll want to avoid doing that.~~

That's still a bit fucked up. I guess once you go down that path, there's not much left for most 'cept to keep following it.

If you see guys with a big red R's on their shirt, that's Team Rocket. They're not exactly subtle when it comes to pulling crimes... If you could keep an eye out for'em, that'd help a lot of the Pokemon students.

They still have the ability to change. I just think a lot of them might not realize they always have the chance for it.

Man I never understood why guys like this feel the need to have really obvious uniforms. Whatever, you can at least count on another pair of eyes.
