[Those viewing the Rocket feed are sure to see this burly brute dressed in a bright red suit! He's grinning fiendishly with a sack in hand, and he clears his throat before he begins.]

Listen up! I'm unleashing a sinister scheme that's sure to make this one Christmas this city will never forget! I've got a gig set up at the Department Store to act like a jolly, old fatso with a beard. The catch? Stealing loot and Pokémon from the pipsqueaks that come crawling my way. And any other morons around.

But don't think I'm stopping there. No, I've got bigger plans! Wrecker, Boo, if you please...

[In the background, a vine hoists up a plate of delightful looking Christmas cookies, while a second plate floats seemingly all by itself.]

Looks pretty harmless, but there's a catch! Each one of these suckers has been loaded with Toxic and Poison Powder, making them one heckuva snack. It'll leave any idiot that eats 'em in bed for days, if not longer! So if you see little stands run by my minions in elf suits, don't eat 'em if you know what's good for ya.

[He chuckles and points a finger at the screen.]

So why am I telling you all this? Easy! Because I'm looking for people to help set up shop. To run some of the stands and ship out the goods to the other cities for good measure. And if you've got any doubts, think of it this way; it's not every day you get the honor of working with the epitome of villainy! Gwa ha ha ha!

[Those browsing the network will see an anonymous text message pop up on their devices, courtesy of a certain moron's less moronic Hypno.]

Ho ho ho!

Santa Claus has come to town, so come on people, gather 'round. Visit the Goldenrod Department Store for joy, love, and presents galore! Here for a limited time, so don't miss out! See what the fuss is all about. Bring your friends, bring your families, bring your Pokémon, too. It's fun for you and you, and YOU!

Not in town but looking for cheer? Don't feel sad, never fear! We have fresh holiday treats for you to share. For pickup, air mail, we don't even care! Our home baked goods are a North Pole fav. And with our free samples, think of the money you'll save!

And now that this rhyming's outta the way, leave all cookie orders here and have a good day!

[Those in Goldenrod City are sure to find something interesting. No matter where they look, there are stands littering the street lined with plates of fresh, Christmas cookies with a sign that reads "FREE SAMPLES". For those who would like to buy a whole batch, they will find that the price is quite cheap-- P300! That's only a little more than a Rage Candy Bar!

Some of the stands are manned by Pokémon in elf, snowman, and Reindeer suits. These include one adorable little Squirtle, a Magmar, a Larvitar, an Ivysaur, a Magcargo, and a Tirtouga, just to name a few.

Inside the Department Store, however, lies an even stranger sight-- Department Store Santa Claus, complete with the bushy beared, the suit with all the bells and whistles, a rather comfortable looking chair, gift sack, and more Pokémon in cute little costumes. ...Including a Hypno, Granbull, Gible, and Machoke. These Pokémon seem harmless enough, leading kids and other visitors towards the big guy himself and occasionally handing out gift boxes.

What those with a less watchful eye may not realize is that they're being watched constantly. Not only by the Hypno, but by something else. Something unseen... something making a grab for those Pokéballs you may or may not have.]

[ooc: And Bowser plot begins now! For info, look here. Please let me know if you're okay with him stealing. I'd rather not have him found out right away. Also note that the cookies are poisoned with either Poison Powder or Toxic.

For the text portion, all replies will be anonymous! This is a good chance for characters outside of Goldenrod to get involved in the cookie plot. ;)

Enjoy!]

[After the 'argument' with Twilight, she could use this pick me up.]

Oh, this is so nice... Would you mind sending some towards Violet?

[After arriving in Goldenrod the day before, Misaki had been out looking for Christmas shopping instead of applying for work like she thought she was. Madoka was nearby, walking a few steps behind her. She was a bit broke after buying said gifts but she could find a job after the holidays anyway.]

[She was going to head back to the Pokecenter when she noticed there were stands all over the place with pokemon at some of them. Now she wouldn't normally pay attention to such stands but they seemed to contain cookies. Maybe it was something she could get for her pokemon. Also, she was kind of craving something sweet.]

[Misaki came across a stand with a Larvitar manning it. It seemed rather cute in that little costume of his.]

What's this now, cookies? Mind if I'll try one? If its good enough, I might buy a batch.

[ Aradia is of course instantly drawn in by the booths manned - pokémanned? - throughout town. The one she ends up going to is the one with a Squirtle, looking around for a trainer curiously. She hasn't been able to spot one at any of the booths, but...

Well, Christmas cookies! A Haunter trails along after her, although he seems less interested in the cookies than Aradia does. ]

Free samples? [ She does like cookies, but. Only a few of her pokemon are with her right now, and this sounds like something they would all enjoy! :D ]

[Lightning's normally got a cookies type of woman, but after all the fuss and muss and running about over the past week, and with more of it to come, she figures they could use a treat. What harm could a few cookies do, anyway?]

I'll take a batch.

[If they're not good, she can just toss them or something. And while her balls are out of sight, her wallet isn't. She most definitely intends to purchase a packet from whichever Pokemon isn't busy at the moment.]

How absolutely devioussss!

[Looks like Cobra's not the only one thinking outside the box this year. And he approves of that.]

I had no idea you were capable of such deception!

[The feed opens to... maniacal laughter. Someone's clearly getting a kick out of this.]

Oh man, if only you'd shown up sooner, sir! Johto would be completely terrorized by now! But that's alright, I'm sure this will get a few of them interested in interfering with our plans in the future!

[And let's be real, fighting is just part of the fun!]

I'm not doing much here, so I'd be happy to help out! My Pokémon aren't really great for helping sell cookies, but I can certainly help out! Just tell me where you want me and I'll make sure to make a killing off those cookies!

[JUST LIKE A GIRL SCOUT okay that comparison was uncalled for.]

[John and Rose went out to do some Christmas shopping today, though for now they seem to have separated. Kinda hard for to buy a gift for someone when they're right next to you after all! So as John passes by the Department Store Santa, it's just him and his ever-faithful Lopunny and Litwick at his sides. And whatever is in the two balls at his belt.]

[John chuckles a bit as he passes by Santa and all the kids. Did they do this last year? He can't really remember. It's cute, nonetheless. He doesn't linger long however, and is soon walking once more towards a display of books, guard down as usual.]

[After talking with Twilight, Chris needed a little pick-me-up so he was pleasantly surprised that people were selling cookies.]

If you don't mind, can you send some to the Violet City Pokemon Center?
