“My job has me doing quite a bit of research and when I got this condition I decided to go about trying to find as much about those of a similar condition. I was able to track when people were captured and when they failed. I was able to extrapolate this based on a brand new pokemon appearing in the registry well outside its normal area. I’ve also been able to track down a few of the survivors, though quite a few were rather reluctant to talk to me, for rather understandable reasons.”

“You were able to track us down?” I ask, somewhat concerned.

“Well some, yes. I do know that they are being operated by Team Rocket and Team Rocket alone, though I did hear some rumors they were thinking of selling their device to other groups, though the Lady in Red has final say on the matter. But I was able to use that to find the location of a lot of Rocket locations if you want. Got them in a pocket in my jacket,” he says and gestures for Maria to take a piece out of his chest pocket. “You on the other hand, I gotta say are almost impossible to find anything about.”

“How’s that?”

“Well the city has you under seal. So it’s clear they know full well who you are and are trying to protect you. When you fight they are perfectly fine listing your name. Any fight your pokemon participate in has an error over trainer name. Clicking on the redirect leads to a broken link. Nor can I simply find you through your pokemon. I’d have to go search for Maria herself to find her pokemon ID and from that I can cross-reference a trainer ID. Same with Benny over there and any of your other pokemon. But no one checking online would be able to tell that you two are owned by the same person unless they found exact matches you both participated. And even pulling up your trainer ID comes back with an error. And when I searched for physical copies, your trainer ID has been extremely heavily redacted. It lists all pokemon registered to you, what badges and accolades you’ve earned. But no name, no address nor any other contact information.”

((OOC: So small note about the list of pokemon. Due to the way I do these pages, the day that I drew the sketch/lines and the day I colored them were separate days. But I left myself absolutely no notes whatsoever about which pokemon was which on the list aside from the two important ones. So I kind of had to do a sort of "Whose that pokemon" with myself and guess at what pokemon I was intending on it being. As such, some might not be the right colors.))
