05 - video/action for Goldenrod Rocket Base;

[kingbowser]

[At first, the feed starts out in pitch blackness with the sound of whimpering and growls. Unhappy, painted whimpers and growls. Then a flame brings light to the room, revealing two Ninetales, a Venomoth, and a Swampert trapped within nice little cages. Other cages accompany them filled with slightly less remarkable Pokémon-- a Wigglytuff, a Persian, a Chikorita, a Kadabra, and a whimpering Raichu... A Magmar passes by these cages and spits fire at the bars, while a Torterra wood hammers one another. Both cackle at the prisoners.

The camera then turns to a rather bulky figure, his back facing one of the cages. The flicker from the fire reveals a glint of orange hair. Finally, the man turns around, revealing his enormous, pointed teeth. Anyone who's spoken to Bowser ought to recognize him right off the bat.

At first he stands silently, arms crossed. Then, after a few short seconds, he bursts into a great big guffaw.]

So the secret's out, ladies and gentlemen! And who would've thought so many of you would fall for it? I guess it's true; nobody can resist cookies around the holidays.

But that's not all. You won't believe how many idiots fell for my Santa disguise or at least stuck around long enough for my minions and I to snatch money and precious Pokémon. Just look at this guy!

[He gestures to the Swampert, who slides towards the back of his cage.]

Level ninety! And his moth buddy's the same. One of those foxes is at a hundred, and the other ain't close behind. If these are your Pokémon, you better say goodbye, 'cause you're never seein' them again. Gwa ha ha ha!

[The Magmar, the Torterra, and other unseen Pokémon join in the laughter. This goes on for several seconds before Bowser stomps his foot and whips his arms out to his sides.]

You might've thought I was all talk, but now you see why I'm the biggest baddy in all of the Mushroom Kingdom! The roughest, toughest of all final bosses.

[He steps closer to the camera, pointing straight at the viewers.]

But let's all have a special round of applause for Sasuke the Cinnamon Runt, who let his own friends and Pokémon get poisoned due to his own spectacular failures. I tell ya, it doesn't get more pathetic than that! And I bet he's gonna run away with his metaphorical tail between his legs.

[Finally, Bowser bows to the camera.]

It's been a real pleasure, Johto. And I'm just getting warmed up!

Private to Rockets;

[With that show outta the way, the camera snaps to the same room with the lights on and Bowser leaning against a cage.]

By the way, I'm looking for somebody to help me evolve my Machoke, Magmar, and Onix. After pulling in such a big haul, I'd say my minions deserve a reward.

[ooc: Thefts were mod-approved and player-approved for the ones from John and Rose. Room upgrade also mod approved. Just thought I'd clarify this to avoid looking shady!]

WHAT A FUCKING DUMBASS.

[kingbowser]

aaaand you'd be rated M

for mornic

my scheme was awesome and it's just the beginning! i've got SO much more in store

[video/private]

[ortion]

[Pokemon theft is great and all, but Dist's mostly interested in the private part of the video. This is a good opportunity for him to see more Pokemon evolution in action.]

I would be happy to assist you in evolving your Pokemon if you will allow me to take notes during the process. I am currently studying evolution via items.

[video/private]

[kingbowser]

[Bowser chuckles. Notes, huh? Well, that's interesting.]

Knock yourself out. I've never tried evolving anything by trade before, so it oughta be a treat.

[Misaki doesn't usually do text but it's not really wisest thing to do at a moment like this.]

What.
The.
Fuck.

You fucking bastard, how could you do such a thing? Just to prove you're the baddest of the bad? Just what the fuck is wrong with you?

And how could you call out Sasuke like that?! What the fuck did he do to you?

[kingbowser]

because i'm a grade A evil villain
final boss
behemoth of badness!

if you're trying to sway me with your sappy feelings and morals, you're talking to the wrong koopa

and cinnamon runt wrecked my fearsome vehicle, the koopa clown car! he might not've dented my invincibility, but NOBODY makes a mockery of the koopa king

[audio]

[soggypastry]

[oh for the love of--she just had to get poisoned by a loudmouth. One who pretty much undid whatever good her talk with Sasuke did in less than five minutes. Great.]

Don't you think you have more important things to do than gloat?

[audio]

[kingbowser]

[Bowser chuckles in response. Oh boy, is this another person here to reprimand him for his evil doing?]

Hey, there's always time to gloat. How else was I gonna rub my victory in everyone's faces?

Voice

[for_realsies]

*Have a cold second of absolute silence. Then Imogen starts to talk without a hint of anger in her voice. Merely... cool amusement.*

Guess you showed everyone how big you are.

Bit of a pity you're short one castle to call your own here.

Voice

[kingbowser]

Oh, I'm getting there, sister. I'll have my own keep in no time flat!

[That jab was not very effective, apparently. Silly Bowser.]

[Audio] Everything is horrible. Wonderful, but horrible.

[beforethedarkness]

I'm not running away!

[Audio] That's the joy of playing a villain :]

[kingbowser]

Good! I could use some entertainment.

[usedconfusion]

Why are you even listening to this guy? You just took innocent Pokemon from their homes. Even if you all like being henchmen that's taking things a little too far.

[Yes, Bowser, Ron just entirely ignored you and started talking to your Pokemon instead.]

[kingbowser]

What? I'm not somebody's--

[A Hypno shakes his head, sending a telepathic message to his trainer.

He wishes to speak with us, your ruthlessness.]

Aw, whatever. It's not like he'll get much outta--

[Oof! That'd be one sassy Magmar hopping in front of the camera.]

Too far? Too FAR? Oh boy. Look at this one, guys! A REAL charmer...

[There's some laughter from the other Pokémon. Then a Torterra stomps up to Blargg's side.]

Innocent schminnocent. I'm strong. The strongest! Who cares if I have to bulldoze a few losers to prove it?

[namelesshero]

This...probably isn't going to end well for you. You know that, right?

video;

[kingbowser]

You say that like I'm not used to goody two-shoes hero types coming in to mess with my schemes.

I say let 'em try! I welcome the challenge.

villains gotta scheme
i only had one SPECIFIC target but boy did i get one heckuva turnout

nothing personal, just part of being a big bad

[Video]

[shippingmath]

... Wow. There's the Team Rocket I remember, all right. That was ridiculous.

[Video]

[kingbowser]

Ridiculously awesome, you mean.

[VIDEO - LOCKED]

[brilliantideas]

[The man on the video feed is rather tiny, with short white hair and bright blue eyes. He probably doesn't look familiar, since he's been hanging out in Kanto and staying off the 'Gear for the most part.]

While that was a bit over the top, I do believe congratulations are in order for successfully pulling off such a stunt!

I'd offer to help you evolve your Pokémon, but unfortunately I'm in the Kanto base and it's a bit far to travel. It sounds as though you've gotten quite a nice team gathered! I don't believe we've met before; I'm Wheatley, it's a pleasure to meet you!

[VIDEO - LOCKED]

[kingbowser]

Oh yeah, I've got one heck of an army! The ones hanging in here are just a small sampling of my hordes of minions.

[He cackles, turning the camera to show off a seven-foot Haunter, a snickering Machoke, a Hypno, and a grinning Granbull.]

But every awesome, evil king oughta have a formidable force of flunkies! And seeing as I'm the king of the Koopas, that goes double for me.

[text]

[usedsuperpower]

Ooooh, well done! What you going to do with them?

[text]

[kingbowser]

well i already showed 'em off to the higher-ups

but i'm thinking about turning 'em into loyal minions. snorceror said he could do stuff with their heads to make 'em more... obedient.

[Text] oh my god

[hoperaider]

*YOURE* the one behind the whole poisoned cookie incident?!

[Text]

[kingbowser]

no it was mario

of COURSE it was me!

[heartdive]

HEY! Don't make fun of my friends!

[kingbowser]

You mean the broody, angst-ridden cinnamon swirl kid? But he's such an easy target.

[Video]

[whateveryoueatliveitspart]

[Bowser doesn't need to sit through the whole "shocked silence, building rage, and finally snapping out" process here. Apollo did all of those before he had the presence of mind to actually respond, so we'll go straight to "incensed".]

Get those Pokémon out of those cages and let them go you bastard!

[Video]

[kingbowser]

[At Apollo's outburst, both the Torterra and Magmar laugh. The Magmar even spits more fire into the cage and winks, as if to say "bring it, bro".

Bowser, too, belts out another guffaw and shakes his head.]

These Pokémon are here to stay! Permanently. You'd be better off saving your breath.

[supersnipe]

...This is jus' gonna go so well, I can tell.

[kingbowser]

Gwa ha ha ha! It's totally ending the way I expected. Publicity, and lots of it!

reaction 1/??

[ghostytrainer]

[Doot doot doot, checking the network. Doot doot doot seein' what's new. Hello Johto, how are you?]

[Oh hey look, it's Bowser. Wonder what he's been up to, should be good for a laugh or tw--]

reaction 2/??

[ghostytrainer]

[John knows that Swampert.]

Jonathan...

[And that Venomoth. Heck, he's pretty sure he recognizes those two Ninetales as well, though he can't be sure.]

[tendered]

Hey! You shouldn't do this to other people's pokémon! They're nice and deserve kindness! How would you feel it someone stole your Pokémon and hard effort?! [ She doesn't quite get evil. Your cartoon evilness doesn't so much phase Momo... it just makes her angry because she takes you totally seriously.

Also, you might notice a Woobat and a Zubat staring at her angrily. Yeah. She's a rocket too. ]

[kingbowser]

Hey, lady. Yeah, you.

[Have the most deadpan expression from Bowser's end.]

Villains do bad things. It's in our job description! If you're trying to plea to my conscience, I hate to break it to ya, but I don't have one.

private

[licentious]

My, my, Mister, I must commend your talent in deceiving the public and revealing it in quite a spectacular fashion. [ She likes what she sees. Unf. Confidence gives her the best hives of all: love hives. ]

My name is Solaris, and yours is? [ she definitely wants to establish connections and would totally be down to lending her pokemons to him. ]

private

[kingbowser]

Hey, when I scheme, I aim big. What kind of evil ruler would I be if I didn't pull off awesome stunts?

[Praise, and from an attractive lady at that? She's no Peach, but like he's complaining.]

And you're talking to the mighty King Bowser, lord of the Koopas and epitome of evil!
