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!]]

[that's right, foongus and amoongus. he's calling you out.]
Ah, of course. It's an interesting progression, I find --- Litwick is indeed the first stage, and it ends up...
[let him dig around for the pokeball and let Leyster out... and yes, there is now a ghost chandelier in frame.]
... like this.
[video]
My, it changes so much! To go from a mere candle to a dazzling ghostly chandelier...
Honestly, I wouldn't expect Pokemon based off of furniture to be so creative!
[Rotom and its appliance possessions are cool and all, but he wouldn't consider them to be beautiful at the same time. Chandelure is clearly pulling it off much better.]
[video]
But really, I was a bit surprised as well; Litwick itself is... well, somewhat whimsical, I suppose. I certainly wasn't expecting that.
[video]
Would you consider Chandelure to be just as whimsical? Is she relatively easy to train and handle?
[He may or may not be interested in getting one of his own now...]
[video]
[He says it without much concern, because really, having something actually feed off your life energy isn't that big a deal to him.]
Her temperament is good, though... every Pokemon tends to be unique in the personality department, so be careful on that front. I'd say she's definitely a hard hitter, but she can be a bit fragile.
[video]
[He'd have to be on the careful side if that's the case. It doesn't sound all that pleasant to him.]
So it would be best to use it as a finisher rather than keeping it in for a long battle. I can see the use in that.
[video]
And yes, that's a very good strategy to use with it. It wouldn't be too terrible as an opener if you wanted to give someone a nasty shock to begin with, though that could be riskier.
