8 ❀ video
[The video opens up to a wintery forest landscape, high up in the air as the trees are small and the forest spreads out over the land like a small ocean. Light snow is making its way to earth and big flakes flutter right in front of the camera here and there.
But enough about the scenery because that's not important at the moment. What's really important is what the camera pans to moments later.
The shot pans to a large chair...which makes no sense because it's already been established that the video is been taken from high up in the air. But that chair is definitely there, and it's floating. Not only that, but there's definitely someone sitting in it. The chair lightly bobs up and down in with the winter breeze, and the chair's owner doesn't seem fazed at all by the fact that he's up so high in a floating chair. In fact, he almost seems contemplative as he nonchalantly leans against one of the chair's arms and gazes out toward the horizon.
He quickly snaps out of it though when he realizes the 'Gear is recording. He sits up properly and adjusts his winter attire to make sure he looks good for the camera. Coat adjusted? Check. Scarf in order? Check. Gloves pulled on tightly? Check.]
Oh good, you've managed to activate it. Excellent work, Belle and Cordelia.
[He clears his throat and proceeds.]
Hello, denizens of Johto. Or could this be Kanto? [He offers a shrug.] Such a mystery.
But the location doesn't matter. I have something very exciting to show you all. It's something I've been toying with since I arrived in this world, but I didn't have the proper resources to finish it until recently.
[He gently strokes the arms of his chair as he continues.]
However, I was remarkably blessed with a beloved possession of mine some months ago, so I didn't hesitate to continue this little project to completion.
Behold!
[He makes a small hand gesture to the 'Gear's operator, and the camera zooms out to show the chair in full view. It's definitely floating, no wires or anything. Dist spreads his arms wide and leans himself far back in the chair.]
I've finally properly replicated my mobile chair. It can move according to my will, and can handle distances as high as this and then some, without the need of a flying Pokemon to ride on. Yes, yes, I know how absolutely jealous you are.
Now, I could tell you how I'm achieving this, but that would ruin the effect. Though I'm curious how you all think my chair is capable of such a feat. Go on, take a guess! I do love when people try to piece together my magnificent creations.
[He smirks and leans back to his original position at the beginning of the video.]
But please, no idiotic guesses. Think before you speak.
[With a flick of his wrist, the video ends.]
[private to the Rocket frequency]
[But it doesn't completely end for Rockets! The scene is mostly the same, except now Dist has his feet firmly planted on the ground with the chair floating beside him.]
However, I'm feeling generous for all of you, because you never know, I may very well end up sharing this program with you at some point.
[He brings the 'Gear to the back of his chair where the secret of its flight is revealed: one Magnezone sits sideways in the middle of the chair's back, and two Magnemites are at its sides. They seem to be attached to the chair somehow.]
I've done some research into antigravity in this world, specifically this line's use of it. Now I'm using it to my advantage!
These Pokemon are attached by powerful magnets to keep them in place. Then...
[He moves back to the front of the chair to show off a control panel on the right arm of the chair.]
Using this panel, I send electronic signals straight through the magnets and into the Pokemon so they move according to the commands I input into the panel. The reaction is instantaneous, ensuring a smooth ride.
[He faces the camera straight-on, placing his hands behind his back and smirking the whole while.]
This program can be applied to many things, not just chairs of course, and I'm considering adding the Klink line into the program as well. This method of travel is not only efficient as it utilizes several Pokemon working together that can be swapped out when they begin to tire, but they also create almost no noise. The target will never know you're coming until it's too late.
[He allows himself to slide back into his chair.]
That said, comments and questions welcome. Praise is highly recommended, because let's be honest here, you cannot deny that this is going to help our missions immensely.
[He'll be eagerly awaiting your responses!]

[video]
But wow, he's on the right track already. Dist was right to not doubt Kayneth's intelligence.]
A bit more creative, yes. There's more at work here than simple attachments.
[video]
admittedly he might run into a snag on the basis that he ignored the weird electronic things because teeeech but]
Well, given that everything here revolves around Pokemon and they're the most magical things here... if it's not technology, it's definitely a Pokemon at work. Furthermore, I'd also presume that it has the ability Levitate, but it would have to be strong enough to carry both the chair and a grown man.
[video]
And since Kayneth's already on the right track, Dist doesn't see any harm in giving him a further push.]
Oh, I don't know. You'd be quite surprised. Are you familiar with Pokemon utilizing the ability?
Though, who's to say that both technology and Pokemon aren't at work?
[video]
[...THAT'S CHEATING!
DIST IS A CHEAAAAAAATERRRRRRR!!!
...okay no but he looks a bit put out at that]
I may need to bow out, then. I'm not hopeless with technology, but I'm not sure how it'd interact with Pokemon to produce that particular effect.
[video]
My apologies for making you withdraw so soon, Kayneth. It's really such a shame though. I believe you could do great things if you gave the wonders of technology a chance.
[He's going to be nice and show Kayneth the answer though.]
But, admittedly, you were on the right track. In this case technology is merely an aid to keep the chair functioning. I do have Pokemon utilizing Levitate to make it defy gravity.
[So he makes his Pokemon camera holder move to the back of the chair where the Magnezone/Magnemites are visible. Then the chair suddenly spins around so Dist is facing the camera again.]
They are holding the chair up, but I'm using technology to control them and move the chair in whichever direction I want.
[video]
[that...
that is pretty cool, though]
I see... that is fairly ingenious, though. I was expecting something a bit simpler, but I imagine that's simpler and far easier to deal with than just hoping your Pokemon will be obedient or trying to command them verbally.
[video]
[Please join the dark side Kayneth, you'll have fun, he swears...]
It is, and the actual program is simpler than it seems. With this method, I am able to assume direct control over the Pokemon, so there is no chance for error.
[video]
Aha! That makes perfect sense. Those particular ones seem a bit more... mechanical than usual, so I imagine it would be much easier to have more direct and precise control over them than, say, a Haunter or something like that.
[video]
Indeed, they are actually quite robotic! And I am very good with robots.
[video]
Do make it worth my time, though.
[He's joking!
...kind of.]
