Hello! You've reached Jake English's Pokewhatsit! Unfortunately, I might be too busy to take your call, so please leave a message and I'll get back to you ASAP.
Dude, are you okay!? I just saw that broadcast from Team Rocket. You weren't anywhere near the tower, were you??
[He knows that people supposedly can't die in Johto. But dammit, he's still worried. Because nobody has ever really...outright confirmed that. He's come close himself before but that's not the same as "yeah this one time I totally got blown up but I totally survived it."]
[And he's not crazy about the idea of Jake being the one to test this.]
[Jake has to clear his throat a bit before answering, but he sounds a little hoarse.]
Fit as a fiddle, John. [He pauses for a second.] I was in the Tower, but Anika was able to help me get out. I'm thankful for having a water type on me at the time.
Not bad for a newbie, haha. I mean that had to get you at least 50 trainer points.
[He really needs to stop before he gets carried away with this really not all that funny joke...]
But, unfortunately, no. I don't. Can't say I really know any Rockets, they are typically a group I try to avoid friendly contact with. Or any contact at all, really.
Well they will try to steal your pokemon if given the chance. That is definitely still their thing. I don't know if you ever played the game back home or anything, but the Rockets here are a different animal. Still up to no good, but more competent. Probably because of all the people from different universes here. Whatever brings us here doesn't seem too picky about who it pulls, so there's nothing to stop bad guys from getting dragged here. Hell, Bowser himself is here.

Just call me back ass soon as you get this, okay?

[Anika is getting a treat when John sees her. Yes. Good Croconaw.]
Heh...well at least now you can say you lived through your first rocket ploy! Congratulations, trainer achievement unlocked!
[Yes let him just...attempt to lighten the mood here.]

[Yes, good, she'll love him and show this by biting him. Gently.]
First achievement I've received!
[Jake appreciates what he's trying to do, at least.]
Did you recognize the bloke that did it? I saw he made a video about it.

After that ripsnorter of an attack, I can't say as I blame you for it. Really, though, I always thought they were nothing more than petty thieves.

[He frowns a little.]
Well, Johto has certainly attracted some crazed loonies already, if the attack on Sprout Tower was any indication.
