Who: Mondo Oowada and YOU!
Where: Goldenrod City (and the Team Rocket base)
When: 4/22
Summary: Mondo explores his new surroundings and stupidity ensues.
Rating: Let's go with PG-13 for swearing.
Log:
A: Team Rocket base, Goldenrod City
[Waking up in a tiny room with no windows was not a welcome surprise. What was a welcome surprise was that this wasn't Hope's Peak Academy, the school Mondo and his classmates had been locked up in for several days.
He's read the note, studied the PokéGear, and released his Pokémon from their Pokéballs, so he's got a little lizard and a small dog keeping pace with him as he explores the training room. He's not in uniform, however, and has no intention of returning to his room to change.]
B: Goldenrod City
[Look out, there's a Scraggy on the loose! She's giggling and dashing away from her trainer, who looks infuriated. She'll just be weaving her way around people to attempt to escape capture, and it seems like it hasn't occurred to Mondo to just return her.]
Get back here, you bastard!! I swear, when I catch you I'm gonna fucking--!!
[Well whatever it was he was going to do gets cut off when the lizard whips around and launches a Headbutt attack, smacking into Mondo's kneecap. Thankfully she's a low level and not aiming to deal heavy damage, so it only drops him to his other knee, wincing and shrieking after the lizard as she runs off, still giggling.]
Fuck!! Bastard, I'll kill you!!

It just so happens that he's in Goldonrod City when he hears the yells from somewhere down the street. Curiosity drew him closer, but when a strange lizard-like creature sprints down right at him and runs through his legs, he's left momentarily stunned, not only by what he's seen ("Almost like something out of a cartoon...") but also because it happened so quickly he barely had time to register it.]
no subject
You--! Get over here!! Quit cowering behind people and fight like a man!!
[The lizard peeks at her trainer and sticks out her tongue. Mondo doesn't take that well.]
What the fuck!? Aren't these fucking things supposed to be loyal to their fucking trainers!? What kind of a shitty game is this!?
no subject
I'll get out of the way.
[He tries to move to the left, but the yellow lizard just clings to his pants material; it's claws weren't sharp enough to actually do damage, but they did give the Scraggy a chance to hook onto clothing. Another step to the right didn't shake the Scraggy off either.
Awkward.]
no subject
[But Mondo only shoots the lizard a glare before glancing at Rude.]
Sorry to get you involved in this, man. That thing's been messing with me all day. Do they all do this? Fuck, this isn't what I expected at all!
no subject
[But that might be because he keeps them inside their Pokeballs. Actually, why wasn't the guy in front of him doing that?]
It's yours, right? Use the Pokeball.
no subject
Oh yeah, I didn't even think about that! Good idea!
[And with that, he'll just fish the Pokéball out of his pocket and return the Scraggy.]
Thanks for the help, man! My name's Oowada. Nice to meet you!
[And just like that, everything seems to be perfectly fine!]
no subject
Rude.
[A pause, and then he quickly adds: ]
It's my name.
no subject
[Well that's... certainly a strange name...]
Well, it's nice to meet you, Rude! Thanks for the help!
no subject
[Well, at least he seems nice, if a bit maniacal.]
You new here?
no subject
Yeah, I just arrived. I was going to explore around the city, but then that lizard ran off. Are you from around here?
no subject
[That's the most honest answer he can give the guy. And honestly? He's just realised something. From what he's been reading in the past few Pokegear entries, most people don't appear in Goldonrod City. They appear in another town, New Bark something.
When this kid says he arrived here, does that mean he suddenly appeared here, or did he travel all the way from New Bark?]
This city's where you started?
no subject
Yeah. I just showed up here not all that long ago.
[He is smart enough not to mention the organization; he's heard that he'll get thrown in jail if he goes against them and he really doesn't want that to happen.]
no subject
Most people don't start here; they start in New Bark town.
[It's more conjuncture, of putting one and one together and perhaps it's even a little gamble, but if it went wrong he could just pretend he was making a wild guess.]
You're Rocket.
no subject
Yeah? And if I am? You gonna report me to the authorities?
[At least he's managing to keep his voice down.]
no subject
But you've got to be more careful. Don't blow your cover.
And keep your cool.
[All standard procedures when it comes to Turk infiltration.]
no subject
You're one of them too?
[Given how calm this guy is acting about it, he really wouldn't be surprised.]
no subject
At any rate, two guys talking quietly to each other in broad daylight is suspicious enough. Some people are giving them quizzical looks, so it might be time to his leave.]
I'll be seeing you, Oowada.
Good luck.
no subject
[Let's be real, he'll probably need it.]
B;
But when Laguna sees the other Scraggy and their owner--
Well, he rushes over, there to help...? Maybe...?]
Hey-- you okay there?
no subject
Yeah, yeah, I'm fine. Just startled me more than anything.
[He takes note of the Scraggy, tipping his head towards it.]
So you're stuck with one of 'em too? Is yours as much of a troublemaker as mine is?
[In response to that, the Scraggy looks back at her trainer and sticks out her tongue.]
Hey, don't think I've forgotten about you, bastard! You'll get yours!!
A
Since the training room is more or less empty, she can't help but notice Mondo. And since he doesn't look familiar, that can only mean one thing...]
You there. Are you a new recruit?
no subject
[That's said with a smirk though and Mondo tips his head a bit at the uniform.]
I woke up here with a note from this organization, so yeah, I guess I am.
no subject
That's usually how it works here. You wake up, are given this hideous uniform [Which she gestures to, looking disgusted.] and then they show you the ropes. Same thing happened to me two weeks ago.
no subject
[Well, she certainly seems interesting! Mondo folds his arms and studies her carefully.]
What kinda things do they expect us to do? I mean, I get that it's a gang here, but what do they want us to do?
no subject
[...that was probably a backhanded compliment, but shhh.]
Well, the "main" thing they want us to do is steal these...Pokémon things. [Barby points to her Vespiquen, then at Mondo's two starters.] So we're pretty much supposed to be common thugs. It's soooo degrading, but it beats the other options.
no subject
Stealing? That's not difficult. What are the other options anyway?
[She sounds like she's never had to steal to make ends meet, but he can't say he's surprised. She seems like the sort to have people serving her.]
no subject
[...what else is there anyway? ]
...quitting is also an option, I think, but then you'll most likely get reported to the police and that won't be fun. And...I think that's it. So yeah, you're better off playing along.
no subject
[Not like the gang he was running! Then again, nothing about this has really sounded like his gang...]
Alright, I can do that, no problem. You said you've been here for how long? Two weeks? What's it like so far?
no subject
[Still, it's not like she was against the crime. Barby wasn't exactly a saint herself.]
Hold on, darling. I've given you quite a bit of information as is. Don't you think it would be fair to give me something in return?
no subject
[He glances down at the Pokémon, then back up at Barby.]
You want one of these or something?
no subject
...do you even know what these things are capable of?
no subject
no subject
[And of course, totally useful when it comes right down to it.]
Anyway, since I'm feeling generous today I'll allow you to keep them. We'll just say you owe me a favor from this point on, okay? I'm sure I can find some use for you.
no subject
[As far as the favor goes? Well, he's alright with that, if a bit suspicious.]
Sure thing. You just let me know when you wanna cash that favor in.
no subject
Now, feel free to ask me your questions.
