[action for the Goldenrod Rocket Base]
[Anyone currently at the training grounds in the Goldenrod base during the afternoon may be startled by a yell of pain ringing through the area. Depending on your timing, finding the source of it may also result in seeing Rideaux angrily kick a tiny Deino across the field as he holds his left hand.]
Why you little--!
[He glares hatefully at the little dinosaur-looking Dragon type as it recovers from the kick, staggering to its feet. It immediately begins to charge in the direction it heard that voice. Rideaux isn't having any of that.]
Pin it down, Slasher!
[Slasher would be his Zangoose, who seems to have been present while Rideaux attempted to train this Deino. He nods, rushing over to intercept the Deino on its path. With a swift movement, he slams the Deino to the ground, pinning both its torso and head so it can't try to snap at him.
Rideaux closes in, still holding onto his hand- while it's not too visible since his current gloves are red, there's a big stain of blood seeping through the fabric where his own Pokemon bit him. He crouches over the Pokemon, gritting his teeth like he's doing his best to hold back his rage.]
This is completely unacceptable. I didn't take you under my wing to deal with this!
[And it just goes on like this, with Rideaux attempting to train this damn dragon without it trying to bite him.
...so yeah, walking in at any time to Rideaux yelling at his blind dragon is a safe bet. At least until he gives up for the day.]
[video]
[While Rideaux is never the cheeriest person when on camera, he at least appears pleasant enough. Today however is a completely different story. He's located at a desk in a nondescript room, slipping on his gloves at the moment the 'Gear starts recording. Bandages adorn one of his hands, and he looks pretty damn pissed off about it as he hastily slides the glove on to cover it.]
I have a bit of a dilemma. Does anyone here have any advice for dealing with a blind monster? Admittedly this is a new venture for me, and I suppose I wasn't expecting it to be as bad as it truly is. My monster, it...
[He's trying hard to hide the disgusted scowl that's formed on his face, but failing at it.]
...seems to enjoy relentlessly biting everything in its general vicinity. And while that's fine for battle, it doesn't do much good when it can't see its opponent and bites its trainer instead. I obtained this monster because I was intrigued by its final stage of evolution, but this is a bit ridiculous.
[He goes to tighten his hand into a fist and immediately regrets that action. Okay yeah, there is no hiding the obvious disdain here.]
If anyone who has owned a Deino has discovered an effective way to get it to listen without taking any sound as a cue to attack, I would appreciate hearing it. That goes for the person who sold me this egg as well.
[This is why you listen to breeders, Rideaux.]

[action]
He's just entered the room, ready to send out Hydra, when he spots the...interesting training methods that one of the grunts seems to be utilizing on-
...wait a minute, isn't that Dr Rideaux? And that's a...
...ah. Oh, this'll be interesting.
Placing his hands in his pockets, Kato wanders over to where the good doctor and his two Pokemon are currently scuffling, not bothering to keep his amusement off his face or out of his voice.]
Having some trouble with the new addition, Doctor?
[As usual, his Lunatone is hovering around his head, peering curiously down at Slasher and his new friend.]
[action]
Just Kato's tone is enough to worsen the scowl on his face, but he does what he can to hide it when he actually faces the other doctor. Both Pokemon momentarily face Kato as well, the Deino immediately trying to struggle against Slasher's grip to go for the latest noise to come up.]
As much as I am loath to admit, yes. This...this thing refuses to listen to a word I say, and only seems to know to bite whatever it senses.
[His gaze briefly flicks to his slightly limp hand as he says that-he really needs to stop to patch that up soon.]
As I'm sure you can tell, it's quite frustrating.
[action]
[Because it's not like he almost lost an arm to his previous one, or anything! Thankfully those scars healed when he went home...they were so terribly unsightly.
Walking closer, Kato retrieves a Pokeball from his pocket, idly tossing it off to the side.]
Perhaps I can help.
[Shockingly enough, it's his Hydreigon that he releases from that Pokeball; it releases a soft, rumbling growl, before trotting obediently over to Kato.]
I've had a bit of experience with this evolutionary line, after all. Hydra here was actually my starter.
[action]
I have to admit that I'm a little surprised- are they normally this calm? Not that I would prefer mindless rampaging to this, but you know.
[In other words, for some reason it doesn't seem as imposing as he thought it would.
...All the while, the Deino continues to struggle against its pinned position. Especially so, because it thinks it senses one of its own kind.]
[action]
[As if to show off just how fantastically obedient he is, Hydra lowers his (main...) head down to the ground and rests it there, continuing with those rumbling growls. All in all, he looks...well, rather docile.]
Don't be fooled, though; I consider him my strongest Pokemon. Well, out of the ones that can't use Explosion, anyway.
[...thanks Kato.]
I find you tend to have to...encourage them to behave.
[And judging by how Rideaux has been treating his Deino, he's definitely on the right track. Ahaha...]
[action]
He gently rubs at his injured hand.]
It is reassuring to know that they can be swayed somewhat. If you don't mind my asking, what sort of training methods did you use on him?
[Please tell him you at least had to deal with a bite or two in the process Kato, otherwise he's never going to let himself live this down.]
[action]
...
...we don't talk about the arm thing.]
Nothing too groundbreaking, although I'd be lying if I said it was the, ah...conventional method.
[Grinning slightly, Kato runs a hand down Hydra's head.]
You're the master and you need to make sure they know that. Do whatever you have to; beat them, scream at them, deprive them of food...I find that last one particularly effective. Although if you're the soft-hearted sort, I'm afraid I have no advice for you.
[...he has a feeling that you're...not exactly a protagonist type, though; put it that way.]
[action]
Oh, so in other words, my usual methods will work just fine on this one. Believe me, Doctor, I always make sure my subordinates know their place. Let's just hope any one of those methods gets through this one's thick skull.
[He glances down at his Pokemon as he says that. Judging by the look of unease Slasher just displayed, what he said about subordinates knowing their place is definitely true.]
Do we truly have any of the soft-hearted sort here, anyway? I know there are some unwilling members, but we all ended up here for a reason, didn't we?
[action]
[Okay, the sigh of relief both amuses Kato and immediately endears Rideaux to him; for a minute there, he was worried you might find what he's saying to be distasteful! Thank goodness there are other logical people around here.
...they're probably slightly less terrible people, but who cares~]
As for your question, I like to think so. The vast majority of people in Team Rocket do tend to think along the same lines as us, although there are admittedly exceptions. They tend to get their just desserts if they choose to rebel, however.
[Like that idiot Ren. That was such a fun week...]
If you do interact with any misguided members who are being openly disloyal, or expressing unwelcome thoughts about our organization, don't be afraid to report them to me. If I can't deal with them, Dist - my partner - will. He's a Division Head, which is the equivalent of a Beta.
Neither of us tolerate insubordination.
