11 ❀ public video + private video to the Rocket frequency
[It's a lovely afternoon in the National Park. Trainers and Pokemon alike can be seen running, playing, battling, and basically having a grand old time in the warm summer sun. It's great stroll in the park or picnic weather!
Dist is getting in on both of those things. He's currently sitting on a park bench beneath the shade of a large tree, watching several of his Pokemon play in the grass across the walking path. He's recording this, so what can be seen on the 'Gear's feed is a Lilligant, a Vileplume, and a tiny Gothita all doing a Teeter Dance orchestrated by the Lilligant. After a few moments, the Vileplume and Gothita trip over themselves and fall, but judging from their laughing, they're having a good time.
When Dist turns the 'Gear around to face him, he's just shaking his head, smirking all the while. He's opted for sunglasses and casual dress clothes today. Even his Roserade sitting beside him has sunglasses. How classy.]
You know, I didn't realize it until recently, but my team has quite a few stunningly beautiful Pokemon on it. I didn't intend for that to happen, but I am most definitely not complaining! Have any of you noticed a trend amongst your teams? A common type, or feature?
I like to think that these trends say something about us. We all know that the Gym Leaders have their favored types, and their personalities often match those type preferences. By that logic, it's obvious why I have so many beautiful Pokemon on my team.
[...The narcissism is out in full force today, apparently.]
If you don't have an answer to my first question, perhaps this one will be more relevant for you: what do you consider to be the most beautiful Pokemon? Visual examples are not necessary but highly encouraged. I am looking for future team members, and it wouldn't hurt to have some inspiration!
As for my vote? Nothing matches the beauty and grace of Roserade and its evolutionary line.
[The Roserade beside him smiles brightly. Way to lay on the compliments, Dist.]
I look forward to your responses!

[Sometime after Dist's video in the park, he posts another video from the labs in the Goldenrod base. He's wearing his usual lab attire now, sitting back in his floating chair with a pleased yet smug look on his face.]
Good evening, my fellow Rockets. This is Dist from the science department. I just wanted to make a general reminder to the new recruits and for those who may not be aware: the base here in Goldenrod has a rather active science department, and even if you're not a scientist, you are welcome to stop by at any time. We have plenty of projects going on that could use testing down the road, and we are more than happy to allow you field agents to test them out. If you would like a small taste of projects we have worked on in the past, I will attach my previous project for your viewing pleasure.
[Sure enough, a file containing this video has been attached.]
For those who participated in that project and tested out my metallic mutations, you have my thanks. Your testing yielded very interesting results. I do hope you enjoyed yourselves playing with a very different sort of Pokemon.
[He crosses his arms, his smirk growing wider all of the sudden. Apparently he's only just now getting to the good part.]
This applies more to those working in the science department, but it won't hurt to let you all know. I have recently been given a position of power, courtesy of our ever so gracious Admins. If you're looking to work in a productive environment that stresses excellent quality and produces opportunities to better yourself in the organization, I suggest you try working with me in Division D of the Research and Development department.
If that prospect interests you, do not hesitate to come find me in the labs. I have my own little section now; it shouldn't be too difficult to locate.
And that concludes my post for today! New recruits, feel free to introduce yourselves to me. After all, it would do you well to get to know your superiors.
[With one last smirk and a small wave, whichever of his Pokemon that's been recording this whole time cuts the feed.]
[[OOC: Both posts/locations are open to action as well!]]

...aaand there's another surge of pride. How troublesome. Pleasant, but troublesome.
...or maybe just pleasant, shush.]
I know what you mean; I'm just glad they gave you the recognition you deserve. You've done more for this team lately than anyone else.
[Which may or may not be true (he admittedly doesn't pay that much attention to the others...), but he'll say it either way. Reaching down, Kato gently brushes his fingers through Dist's hair.]
We'll have to celebrate. Do you they'd let us take the helicopter~?
no subject
[Seriously, he hasn't had someone so supportive at his side in a long time. Sometimes he wonders if he even deserves such a great partner...
Oh who is he kidding, of course he does. He just never thought he'd find one!
But that's beside the point.]
Well, they never said anything about them being strictly for business purposes. [He almost finds himself relaxing as Kato plays with his hair.] Why, would you like to go somewhere special for this?
no subject
Oh, not particularly - I'm just amused by the fact that you apparently have one at your beck and call.
[...what if we dropped bombs from it! We could drop bombs onto things!
Man, helicopters are so cool.]
Tonight it can be your choice, Dist; we can do whatever you like. I'm a rather obedient subordinate, after all~
[What's that? Oh, it's a smirk. Of course.]
no subject
[He wouldn't mind settling there if it wasn't for the heavier traffic flow of the Goldenrod base being more convenient.
...they're definitely gonna need to use the helicopter for a mission though. Maybe he can hook his up with the same program his chair uses. Imagine stealth helicopter bombings, Kato.
But that last comment makes him nervously shift in his chair for a split moment. He likes being in control of people, but in this case it's his partner, which...feels kind of strange, actually. But he's getting to know Kato's behavior pretty well by now, so he decides to roll with that comment by staying on Kato's level.]
Good. I would hate for you to disobey me when you've only just joined my division. [He'll smirk right back at Kato.] What do you say to spending a night in Ecruteak? We can take the helicopter there, and perhaps view one of the Kimono Girls' shows?
no subject
...
You're giving him the doki-dokis...]
Ooh, Ecruteak would be nice...a bit of a change of pace from the hustle and bustle of Goldenrod. Hopefully Seth hasn't traumatized all of the girls.
[Sadly enough, it's a legitimate concern. The poor dears.
And don't worry, Dist - he's very proud that you replied to his comment with a smirk rather than getting flustered! Well done, that's exactly what he wanted you to do! You're learning.]
Keep this up and I'll be the most obedient employee you've ever had. The benefits of the job are rather nice, after all~
no subject
Ah, I had nearly forgotten about that. We'll have to hope they've resumed their shows since the attack. Even without a show, I'm sure Ecruteak will prove to be lovely.
[Just don't blow up any landmarks Kato, we're trying to be low-key here.]
I promised I would make it all worth it, did I not? [Oh, looks like it's serious evil scientist time. He's got his legs crossed and fingers laced all plotting-like.] I'm looking forward to watching you thrive under my wing. I have no doubt that this division will produce quality projects the likes the Admins have never seen. Everyone will respect us and come to us for work.
no subject
You did promise that, and it held true. I'm very impressed. It's nice to have hard work pay off, for once.
[...ah, speaking of which...]
I have a little surprise for you. Proton called me into his office today...
[And he's back to leaning against your chair, trying (okay, not trying at all) not too smirk too hard.]
Are you in need of a Researcher?
no subject
Wait. Waaait. What's this now? The news of Kato's promotion gets Dist to jump up in his seat, gripping onto the chair's armrests and gazing at Kato with a look of stunned surprise. He didn't know Kato decided to put a request in after all, so this is a very pleasant surprise!]
Ah! You went through with it! Oh Kato, I am so pleased for you!
[Now Dist's feeling a surge of pride himself, and not just for himself, but for his partner as well. He can't help but grin like an excited child.]
I told you the Admins would be insane to not promote you.
no subject
You really are too good to him, Dist.]
I thought it might make a nice little surprise. You deserve more than just a Grunt, after all.
[...you're going to make him grin in a manner that isn't very smirky, you know...]
Even if I do make a rather fabulous one~
no subject
Oh, you certainly do. But you know your rank doesn't represent how important you are to me. You will always be appreciated, no matter where you lie in this organization.
[He's still being truthful, of course. How he's come to feel this way, he doesn't know. But he's happy, Kato seems to be happy...it all works out.]
Well, the celebration will have to be twice as grand now, won't it?
