So we've had a few acts of villainy and a call to band the heroes of Kanto and Johto together in a valiant attempt against the machinations of evil. Another game begins, and both players have made their starting moves to varying levels of success. I wonder what the native inhabitants make of us outsiders and our grand plans for this world, be it its subjugation or its salvation. This world has long existed, thrived even, without our interference. Law and lawlessness co-exist in equal balance with neither the police force or Team Rocket achieving the upper hand over each other. But the locals do not seem particularly bothered, almost accepting even, of the continued existence of our not-so-enigmatic criminal organization. I'm curious to see how this chessboard will withstand the influx of new rules and pieces that we bring to the table. Will it embrace and adapt the coming changes, or crumble under the weight of our foreign dreams and desires to recreate a world that functions not unlike our own?

Musings aside, one has to wonder: if a recruitment drive has been made to bolster the ranks of the heroes, then how does one enter the other side? I ask purely out of curiosity; I don't have any plans of being an active player.

That last sentence really is rather true, isn't it? I've done more than my share of playing both sides; believe me, I know.

However, that aside, we have ways of bolstering our numbers that don't require recruitment from the general population. If you're asking strictly through curiosity, that should be all that needs to be said for the moment.

my oh my you are quite a gentleman with all those expensive words

as for the answer to all those pretty words i'd say that this place has been holdin up well enough for so long. whatever we bring it probably won't crumple easily. like to think it's better than a stack of cards anyway.

personally i just hope that either side doesn't bother me. can't say i'm interested in all this good and evil business.

You sound like a video-game super villain, bro.

You'd have to be a special kind of person to want to join an organization that steals peoples' Pokemon. Unless you just like seeing people suffer... The real ones caught in the middle are the creatures, not the people.
