kingbowser | 05 - video/action for Goldenrod Rocket Base;

[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!]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[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.

[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.

Excellent. It certainly is a sight to behold; I doubt it'll disappoint you.

[He quickly pans the camera around the spacious lab. Various pieces of large machinery can be seen in the background.]

You may meet me here in the laboratory. There is plenty of space to evolve your Pokemon. Yes, even your Onix.

Muahahaha... Perfect! I'll grab 'em and the evolution items real quick, and then I'll be right over.

[In fact, he'll start to do just that as he ends the feed, grinning to himself. This is going to be awesome...]

[When Bowser locates Dist's lab, he'll find the scientist waiting for him with several Pokemon out for quick trading purposes. A Purrloin, Frillish, and Scizor (that Bowser may recognize) are lined up beside his desk. Dist is leaning back in his chair with his legs neatly crossed and a notepad in his lap.]

It certainly took you long enough.

[Bowser enters the lab with his Magmar tearing off in front of him, while his Machoke cakles, and his Onix... well, she's in the Pokéball right now, but rest assured, she's with him.]

Hey, not my fault I got bombarded with angry trainers over the network.

[...]

Well, actually it is, but I don't regret a thing.

Ah yes, leave it to the do-gooders to come out of the woodwork for something like that. Still, I'm sure the higher-ups will be pleased with your efforts.

[He stands up to get this process underway.]

Now, have you been through this sort of evolution before or do you need a rundown?
