[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!]

It's not the actual final dungeon. It was a metaphor.

Like I'd actually consider a place like that a permanent base! But that's all you're getting outta me.

If I wanted your address I would have asked for it, Geez. Just because I'm Italian-American doesn't mean I plan to don some overalls and step on your head. I get it, you're afraid Mario and Luigi will show up, your hiding space is safe with me.

It has to be rough, away from your minions, your castles, those kids I for the life of me do not get where they came from, you should at least have a comfortable bed and a nice fresh air, right?

Scared? Hardly! I just know better than to make things easy for anybody.

And believe me, after that last haul, I got one heck of a room. Apparently nabbing high level Pokémon has its perks.

Ohhhhhh. You're working for the local badguys!

So you've not really got anything of your own set-up yet. You did one trick and got a promotion!

[...Darn it. He is not just somebody's lackey, and he won't stand for...!

A side-glance from his Hypno gets him to take a few deep breaths before responding.]

I didn't do this for a promotion. I did it for my own enjoyment!

Yeah, but you're still working for Rocket. Using their base, their supplies, probably how you could get the cookies all over the place too.

What a let down! King Koopa is suppose to be the top dog- turtle, not somebody's pet! Staying in someone else's underground base!

Grah! You have the wrong idea, lady. Exploiting what's already here is all part of the plan. Let them think they're in charge.

Wouldn't be the first time I've swept the wool over somebody's eyes!

You know they can probably see all this. I mean even if they don't monitor the Gears, you're in their base right now.

*Victory smile, not that Bowser ccan see that.*

Ciao.
