[Today, a well-dressed man with a lovely black boa is gracing your screen, network. He's lounging in a PokeCenter near a window. The sun's just about to finish its descent, so it's practically night time. Apparently someone's about to turn in after a day full of training! Maybe...?]

Ah, there we are. Hello.

I've only been here for a little under a week, and I simply must ask...has anyone else here been dealing with a large difference in technology from their own world?

[He begins to play with a Pokeball in between the fingers of his free hand.]

You see, I am a doctor, and I've found that many of my healing techniques have been rendered useless because of the difference in technology here. However, there seems to be a machine that heals the monsters in a similar fashion... [Suddenly a frown crosses his face.] Unfortunately, the nurses here were reluctant to to divulge how it works.

[He shakes his head, pretty disappointed about it.]

A pity, that. I certainly hope we humans aren't being put on the back burner when it comes to healthcare. I'll have to look into it further.

But I digress. Please, feel free to tell me your technology woes. If you happen to have more information about healthcare in this world, feel free to bring that up as well. I would be very interested to hear about it.

[He gives a small half-bow from his resting position, and before ending the feed...]

Do have a good night.

[Private to the Rocket frequency]

[The boa-clad man appears again, this time in a location more familiar to members of Team Rocket: a dreary and nondescript dorm room in the base. He's propped himself up against a table in the dorm room, smirking softly into the camera.]

Good evening. I've been here long enough that I believe a proper introduction is in order.

My name is Rideaux. As you may have seen on my entry earlier, I am a doctor. I also have plenty of field experience, though I cannot say I'm very used to relying solely on others to fight for me.

[He's referring to his Pokemon, which can be seen in the background beside his bed. The Zangoose and Houndour don't look overly pleased but they're not miserable or anything.]

Aside from an introduction, I'm addressing you with a question. Does anyone have any idea how we are here? Since I am well aware that I am not the only one who was whisked from my own world to this one; I've discussed this with a couple other members but haven't found any useful information thus far.

I'm not complaining about it—trust me, this is an improvement to an extent, and whoever did this had good taste for choosing to use my services—but I'm curious how it was done.

[Much like he did in his previous video, he gives that little bow. But this time he flashes a sort of sinister smirk into the camera.]

That said...ultimately, I look forward to working with you all. I do hope this organization is as fun as it sounds.

[This kid is volunteering. Hah, that's hilarious.

But Rideaux's not going to comment on that bit. He's more taken off guard by something else.]

Is that right? This seems like such a large region; I can't imagine how many people would be inconvenienced if they fell ill and needed to travel all the way to one city to receive treatment.

It doesn't make any sense. Is human illness not a common occurrence in this world?

It was never exactly my area of expertise. I was a singer there.

I know it was a fairly complicated process, one I suppose we all took for granted.

[Don't worry, Joker doesn't need any interest. He just needs someone who doesn't know better than to hang up on him.]

Entertainment~. Ta be specific, I run the Eve's Garden Circus over in Goldenrod.

Oh, of course. Where are my manners?

[Absent, because he really doesn't have any.]

You may call me Cobra Commander.

[Oh ew, you make medicines? That's like...the complete opposite of destruction! Laaaame.

...however, he will admit that that sort of thing is pretty important in the grand scheme of things, so.]

I'd also be questioning how in-demand medicine is amongst Team Rocket...I'm not quite sure if it's something our superiors would like us to focus on.

[...although...]

Unless you're willing to branch out a little bit, when it comes to chemical concoctions.

[ He may be a kid but he's already a certified doctor scuse you. Besides, it pays well enough. ]

It doesn't look that common. There's a significant difference in how many people we treat versus the number of Pokemon that come in. And even then, it's usually been situational at best: My mawile bit me or my charmander accidentally burned my hand.

It's pretty surprising. Either that or we've just been lucky.

[...she'd miss it anyway, so...]

Well, I've heard that you might be able to go to a certain place to do it... but for the really complicated stuff, we needed to get help from a goddess! I have no idea how it's going to turn out because... haha, I got interrupted. But I think I'm going to see if I ever get sent home!

...and wow, that must be some pretty complicated stuff! What all does it... do, exactly? The stuff you had back home but isn't actually here. I mean, this Pokegear thing and the stuff in the Pokemon Centers already blows my mind, so I guess I'd better steel myself!

[It's truly disappointing, for sure. But hey, at least the Rockets will be healthy??]

That's probably why I was primarily placed amongst the field members instead. Not that I mind.

[He's good at saving and taking lives, he'll go either way. Because there's totally gonna be a lot of killing going on in this world right.]

I'm not against that. I work with poisons and other potentially nasty substances pretty often while making my medicines- a little more fitting for a nefarious organization, I suppose.

A circus, eh? Can't say I've been to many of them.

[He can't remember the last time he did go to one. He generally found them to be a waste of his time.]

It's fine. I imagine something on that scale would be a guarded secret anyway.

And how have you found yourself adjusting to a less predictable weather pattern?

[That's okay, it's to be expected. This is Team Rocket after all.]

Commander, hm? Does that mean you're one of the higher-ups in this organization?

[For a split second he thought this girl might've been from his world, but the whole goddess part kind of crashes that theory rather quickly. Unless goddess is another word for spirit where she's from. Hmmm.]

I'm familiar with the overall concept, but I didn't expect to hear about it from someone else here. Someone who was already performing it in their own world, at least. We've all technically hopped worlds at this point.

[He decides to remain quiet on his real thoughts on the matter for now.]

Imagine what the machines at the Pokemon Centers do, but a human using that directly on another human or monster. It's called an arte, and we perform artes using a device called Spyrix. They help us perform a variety of artes, using the elements of our world. The one I described is a healing arte; I am trained in various healing arte techniques.

Though without Spyrix, my abilities are limited somewhat.

[He doesn't look too pleased about it. He wants to be able to perform at max capabilities, darn it!]

[At least he's taking pay for it. That makes it a little better. Rideaux would be really baffled if he was doing all that for free.]

I understand an increased traffic of injured monsters, considering the pressure to pit them against each other in battle, but the absence of illness in humans is so strange...

[And doesn't bode well. It's hard to compete with Pokemon Centers as a healer for Pokemon, especially since the Centers are free.]

Would you say you get enough patients to justify it as a means of sufficient income?

At least ya actually now what one is. Ya would be amazed at how many folks don't. It was practically a travesty!

It's definitely taking a lot more... planning and preparation for worst case scenario. I arrived here in a dress with feathers while it was pouring, so I think I've learned my lesson on not being prepared.

[...so much killing, Rideaux.

...or at least there would be, if it wasn't for Those Damn Protagonists! You know the ones.]

Honestly, with your sort of knowledge you'll probably find yourself in high demand from both the Field and Science departments...you may have the pick of the litter, so to say.

I'd recommend Science, of course, but that's because I'm not really cut out to be a field agent. Far too much work for little reward.

[aka he's a Huge Nerd, but you know. Whatever works!]

Yessss, but that has nothing to do with my name. Nothing at all.

[ Nah. He's not that charitable. Business is business. ]

It is. Despite the change of seasons, it doesn't seem like people get all that sick here.

[ As for the question of payment... ]

They pay volunteers by the hour so it really doesn't matter how many patients come around. If there aren't enough humans to tend to, I help with the pokemon.

Yeah, I've heard some other people talk about... maybe doing it? Kind of? Or at least knowing it can happen, anyway, even if it's really, really hard.

Which... kinda makes sense to me.

[...she cocks her head a bit!]

Ah, okay! So it's kind of like technology and magic together? That does sound like a winning combo. You can do other things than healing, right?

[Rideaux can't help but chuckle at Kato's reasoning for not bothering with field work. What he gathers from that is he's probably done very little field work to have an opinion like that.]

They both have their merits, in my opinion. If you do enough field work, you'll find that there's something cathartic about it.

[You know, busting some skulls here and there. It feels pretty great. It's why he's not that opposed to having to steal random monsters.]

["They're not missing out," is what he really wants to say.]

I guess they can't be present in all worlds. I imagine you've been educating the masses about it, then.

Well that's unfortunate.

[Nooo kidding, Rideaux.]

Still, I don't think there was any way to be prepared to suddenly show up here.

Then I hope you were at least a commander in your own world.

[Because otherwise that would be really silly.]

It's a good way of enhancing our magic, so yes, it is very much a winning combo.

[He chuckles. Do stuff other than healing? What a silly question.]

Of course. Let's just say I'm not the helpless medic sort. I've been placed primarily with field agents in Team Rocket for a reason.

[Rideaux glances off-screen, probably toward the healing machines behind the PokeCenter's front desk. Hmmm.]

Helping as in operating the machines? Or administering basic first aid?
