"Yoshino... Lalamon..." He nodded to them out of politness. "I'm sorry I couldn't explain what was going on when you arrived... but, as you saw, I had to go through an intense battle... now it's over, I'm sure you have many questions to ask... which is ironic as I've got questions too... about these Digimon..."

@yoshi@
"I suppose that's understandable." Yoshi said, as she placed Lalamon on a table, where the Digimon could sit down properly. "Well, first off... could you tell us more about this world, and those... Pokémon, too?"

@blaine@
"Very well... I can hazard a guess that if Digimon are from another world... then, there must be another world of humans... which you're from if you don't know about Pokemon..." He said, stroking his moustache.
@arcanine@
He walked over and sat beside his trainer...
@blaine@
"Pokemon... they're such mysterious creatures..." He mused. "No one knows when they arrived or how they got here... but, no one cares... they're such amazing lifeforms..."
He patted Arcanine on the head. "You see, Yoshino... Pokemon and humans can help each other to become stronger... both emotionally and physically... there are humans who either train Pokemon, raise Pokemon or research Pokemon about their habitats..."
@arcanine@
He barked in response.
@blaine@
"The origin of the name Pokemon is short for Pocket Monsters as these objects for carrying Pokemon can be carried in pockets rather on the belt..." He said, holding up a small Pokeball before he enlarges it.

@lalamon@
"That sounds very handy." Lalamon noted, as she looked at the ball in awe.
@yoshi@
"Yeah..." Yoshi nodded, before she glanced at Lalamon. "Well... I suppose that Digimon are kind of the same, in that regard." she said, before looking at Blaine. "We can't exactly carry them around in our pockets... but like you guys and Pokémon, humans and Digimon can form really powerful bonds, which makes both of them grow stronger with time."
@lalamon@
"Digimon is actually short for Digital Monsters, since we're comprised of data." Lalamon said, as she folded her small arms behind her back. "We're a bit like virtual pets, or computer programs."

@blaine@
He smiled at Lalamon. "Digital Monster, hmm? Digital or not, you're a living creature..."
He glanced at Arcanine before looking at Yoshi. "How many Digimon do you have, Yoshino? Pokemon Trainers such as myself can carry up to six... I have more than six, but the ones who aren't in my team are living in this mountain and volcano..."

@yoshi@
"Oh, only one, and that's Lalamon." Yoshi said, as she glanced at Lalamon. "Usually, we only have one Digimon partner, and only on rare occasions do some people have more than one."
@lalamon@
"Doesn't it get hard to take care of so many Pokémon at a time?" Lalamon inquired.

@blaine@
"Oh, it is... it is... but, that's part of being a Pokemon Trainer..." He said, smiling.
@growlithe@
"Growl! Growl!" Said a puppy Pokemon, walking in...
@arcanine@
He walked over to keep an eye on the young one...
@blaine@
"That's Growlithe... Arcanine's pre-evolved form..." He said before Yoshino could say something. "Pokemon can evolve into stronger forms and learn new attacks... sadly, they can't revert to their previous form... so, they'll have to stay like that forever..."

"Really?" Yoshi mused, as she looked at the Growlithe. "...Digimon kind of work the same way." "Only for Digimon who live in the wild, though." Lalamon noted. "They live their lives, fighting to survive, and when they've absorbed enough data, they evolve into new forms." Then she looked up at Yoshi. "If a Digimon has a partner, and the partner has a Digivice, the Digimon can freely Digivolve between their forms, provided that they're fit for it." "Oh, that reminds me..." Yoshi noted, as she dug in her pockets, before taking out a small object, which she showed to Blaine. Seeing the device, Lalamon looked up at Yoshi with a baffled look. "You still have it?" "Yeah, we got to keep them, after DATS split up five years ago..."

@blaine@
"Is DATS a sort of orginization?" He asked. "If so, then I'm somewhat part of an orginization made up with three other Gym Leaders of Kanto to protect our region from the likes of Team Rocket..."
He pressed some buttons on a computer to bring up eight images of badges. "Gym Leaders are built to test out the Pokemon Trainer's skills on raising their Pokemon and their bond with them... If the trainer wins and meets our expectation, we give them a Gym Badge as proof of their achievement... by collecting all eight the trainer can head into the most difficult challenge of all... the Pokemon League to win the title as the Pokemon Champion of this region!"
Too bad Lance has that title... tch...
@growlithe@
"Growl!"
@arcanine@
He smirked.
@blaine@
He glanced at Yoshi. "Sorry if I'm blabbing, but I feel I should mention that... Oh, yes... each Gym specalizes in a Pokemon type... there are about 17 of them like Rock, Electric, Psychic, Dragon, Ice... Mine is Fire-types. Rhydon and Rhyperior aren't Fire-types, I caught them to help me build my gym and lab with their excellent digging skills..."

@lalamon@
"But isn't it kind of impractical to have a gym located in a volcano?" Lalamon noted.
@yoshi@
"To each his own, I presume..." Yoshi shrugged, before she tapped her chin. "...oh, yeah; I think I should mention that, since you asked..." she said, as she found a chair to sit down on. "DATS used to be this secret government organization, who set out to defend the human world from invading wild Digimon."
@lalamon@
"You see, not all Digimon are that nice. Some can be vicious, and even outright evil at times." Lalamon said, as she stood up from where she sat. "Some times, it's because their tamers are evil at heart, but often, they choose to be evil, or are just born that way."

@blaine@
"I see.... Pokemon aren't evil... they can only become evil if their trainer is like that..." He muttered. "As for evil Digimon... that shape-shifting freak and the purple nine-tailed fox are sorta proof that they could either be corrupted by their partner... or really are evil..."
Speaking of which, he frowned. "Domino... to think she would really think she can bring Team Rocket back... this brings up horrible memories..."

@yoshi@
"...I have to ask, so sorry if I'm sticking my nose where it doesn't belong..." Yoshi began, as she scratched the back of her head. "...but just what does this Team Rocket organization do?"

@blaine@
He clenched his fists. "Team Rocket... was an organized crime syndicate in pursuit of evil and exploitation of Pokémon... While they focus on stealing Pokemon from other trainers... then selling the rare and strong Pokemon to others... they also fund and conduct cruel experimental research on Pokemon..."
He shuddered. "Their oath... was Steal Pokémon for profit. Exploit Pokémon for profit. All Pokémon exist for the glory of Team Rocket. Their ultimate goal is to take over the world using Pokémon.... I'll bet you're wondering how I knew much about this, Yoshino... and it's a shameful truth..."

@yoshi@
"My god..." Yoshi uttered; she couldn't believe how cruel these Team Rocket people could be.
@lalamon@
"They sound kind of like Kurata... and that's not good." Lalamon noted.
@yoshi@
"...so..." Yoshi said, as she looked at Blaine. "...how do you know so much about it, then?"

"......" He looked away. "I once worked for Team Rocket.. I was a scientist working for them... until I opened my eyes and abandoned them to oppose them..."

@yoshi@
"You used to work for them?" Yoshi uttered, as she couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. "Then... do you know the names of other members of the organization?"

Post by Ninetalesuk on May 24, 2010 6:12:20 GMT -5
@blaine@
"Not all of them, no..." He muttered. "Yoshino, you should know that Team Rocket was a powerful force... no one would be able to stand up to the them... the Gym Leaders who weren't blinded by greed, power... or in my case... to learn more about science... tried their best to stand up to them... it seems they were too strong until..."
He pressed a button to bring up a few images... First up, a kindly old man in a lab coat.
@blaine@
"Yoshino, this is Professor Samual Oak... he is a famous Pokemon researcher who loves Pokemon very much... When someone is about to start off their journey as a Pokemon Trainer, Prof. Oak would give a beggining trainer a starter Pokemon..."
Then, three images appeared beneath Oak's picture...
@blaine@
"These are the starter Pokemon of the Kanto region," He said.
He pointed at a green dino-like creature with a bulb on its back. "The Grass Pokemon, Bulbasaur."
He pointed to a tiny, blue turtle. "The Water Pokemon, Squirtle."
Then, he pointed to a red lizard with a burning tail. "And the Fire Pokemon, Charmander."
Again, he pressed a button to replace the images with three trainers with three huge Pokemon.
@blaine@
"And these three... were the trainers who brought Team Rocket's downfall with their skills, knowledge and passion for Pokemon! Who knew Prof. Oak would find three powerful trainers... They were..."
@green@@venusaur@
...Paula, also known as Green...
@blue@@blastoise@
...Prof. Oak's grandson, Gary... He is known by others as Blue.
@red@@charizard@
And the trainer who inspired me to open my eyes and realise my mistakes.... Ash, well known as Red.
@blaine@
"It was them who brought Team Rocket to a downfall and freed Kanto from their grasp..."

@yoshi@
"Wow..." Yoshi uttered, as she looked at the three trainers Blaine showed. Somehow, that reminded her of her days as a DATS agent, along with Marcus and Thomas. "...but that girl back there..." she muttered, as she recalled Domino. "She's trying to get Team Rocket together again?"

@blaine@
"This will be the second time Team Rocket is being revived," He muttered.
Images of four different trainers appeared.
@blaine@
"When Team Rocket was around in the old days... the other four Gym Leaders were very special... three of them were the commanders..."
"Sabrina of Psychic, Koga of Poison and Lt. Surge of Electric," He explained. "And their leader was Giovanni of Ground! Giovanni fell to Red's power and vowed to disband Team Rocket forever..."
He glanced at Yoshino. "There were no evidence to put Sabrina, Surge and Koga in jail... they say they no longer for Team Rocket... but while everyone believes I've reformed... it was hard to believe they would do the same thing..."
He brought up an image of three different trainers.
@blaine@
"That has happened five years ago... three years later, Team Rocket tried to revive itself in a neigbouring region called Johto... it was made of grunts who were very loyal to Giovanni... along with a mysterious trainer called Mask of Ice... However, just like last time, trainers overthrew the returning Rocket..."
@gold@@typhlosion@@silver@@feraligatr@@crystal@@meganium@
Gold, Silver and Crystal...
@blaine@
"It was them who brought Team Rocket's revival to an end... and I was foolish to believe that was an end to it..."

@yoshi@
Yoshi nodded, as she folded her arms. "They're pretty resilient..." she muttered.
@lalamon@
"But if three trainers were enough to take down Team Rocket each time, why can't all six of them band together and defeat them one more time?" Lalamon inquired.
