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.]

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

hi jake!
roxy and i just saw the video
and were pretty certain thats sprout tower by violet :(
according to our map and the guide book i picked up
if you get a chance to text or call us back please do!!
we still have about six days before we are at your location
or we would check for ourselves
i sincerely hope you are well!

[He has to repeatedly tell himself that people don't die here. It's not even a thing. It isn't like the game where they were all in love with dying. Bro is in that city and so is Jake and fucking shit mom and aradia were on their way there.

He'd be flipping tables if some cynical part of him wasn't saying I fucking told you life could never be good.]

Hey, Jake. We heard about the fire Team Rocket just unleashed like some explosive diarrhea. Like they had all you can eat taco night and just shit themselves in front of everyone. Uh, anyway. Give us a call and let us know how you are.

[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.

Yes that would have been sprout tower going up in a raging inferno.
I ah got to see it up close and personal.
Im alright though! A few nicks and bruises but ill be right as rain in a day or two!
I was lucky to have had a water type on me.

D:
i think that is a bit too much adventure!!
im glad that youre okay though
i think when we visit any future towers we should avoid the flaming ones
although obviously it wasnt that way when you went in

so that was team rocket? :(

[Jake sounds hoarse, but otherwise like he's okay.]

You would have heard right, chap. I'll be right as rain in a day or two since, ah, I kind of was in the tower a moment ago. Nothing to worry about, a few nicks and bruises, but the thanks goes to both Lady Luck and my Croconaw that I made it out at all.

I think perhaps that was a bit more excitement than i was bargaining for yes.
Though i would readily agree with that.
No more flaming towers.

I assume so.
Honestly i didnt think theyd be that...bold.

it can be an official travelling rule
only nonflaming towers for us

ive only heard a little about them
but that seems to be the uniform i was warned about in the video
it was quite a bold move
and also an inscrutable one
i see no profit in such an action

... [He's alive and that's pretty huge. Dave rubs the edges of his gear and releases a breath he didn't know he was holding.]

You are one lucky fucker. Have you seen a doctor yet? You should really go check in with one. For you and your pokemon. ...Have you seen Bro?

I had heard of them myself but i guess i never really thought they would actually be here.
Neither do i honestly but if i had to make a guess after seeing that post on the network it might have been that someone grew bored with the way things were going.
Really i hope the monks are alright and that they can rebuild the tower.

Yes, I've been checked out. The worst damage was perhaps the smoke inhalation, but that'll go away in a while. None of my Pokemon got a scratch, which was fortunate.

[He pauses.]

In all the confusion, I didn't see your brother, no. It would probably be faster if you called him up.

i find i prefer opposition who has motivations other than pure entertainment
i hope they are alright as well
will you let us know??
perhaps if nothing else help can be given to rebuilding their tower

was anyone else from our world in violet
i did not get everyones locations exactly

I agree. Scoundrels...
Of course. If anything else happens ill be sure to let you both know as soon as possible.

Only one other person i think.
Daves older brother.
Ill be giving him a call to check up on him as ive not been able to catch even a glimpse of him in all the confusion.

good!!
i hope this is an isolated occurrence :(

good
well not good
but i am glad not many people were there

what do you know about team rocket jake

Yes i think we were rather fortunate.
Ive not yet heard of any deaths but...
Well we cant die here but it still makes a fella pretty darn concerned!

Not as much as id like at this point.
All i know about them is that they are an organization bent on stealing pokemon from people.
I cant imagine common thieves turning to arson though.

hm
well the main point there i think would be that without death as a factor
pain and injuries are still probably viable options
and thus ought to be avoided

i heard in another network post that they did bombings??
and the girl i spoke to said they were chaotic
i believe we should ask more questions about them given what happened today

I did. But he hasn't answered. He's always a mysterious mother fucker, just being where ever he goes. Either I'll get a ring back, or find out some other way. If you see him first tell him to call, damn it.

[He's fretting a bit now. He doesn't have the belief Bro is unkillable anymore. Hasn't in years.]

You should go rest after getting put through that. Take a shower or something, it could help out.

I'll pass it along when I see him. Call me if you find out first?

[Jake sighs a little.]

I will, but I've still got to see if I can help out with the rest of it. There's not been a death toll yet, but....

[He trails off, not really wanting to finish that sentence.]

Yes most definitely.
Pain injuries and disease are still acting as normal just without the whole getting killed thing.

Bombings?
Jiminy christmas...
I agree with you wholeheartedly on getting more information on these ruffians.
Though now we know what theyre capable of by this point.

what or who is jiminy christmas o_o
and yes i would think this incident and reported bombings are highly indicative of the group as a whole
but you can never have too much information
especially when you start out with nothing

Oh its another way of saying jesus christ.
Thats certainly true.
With our travels we might be able to inquire about this group and see about getting more information on them.
Heaven knows we need as much as we can get!

oh okay
whats a jesus christ
yes!!
i have already been taking notes on all the advice and things i have been told
i will start a new list for this group specifically
it is our job as adventureologists to figure it out

i made up that word
:)

Jesus christ is a holy man that appears in some human religions.
They say he was the son of god and his prophet.

Ahaha! Its a great word!
A merging of adventurer and archaeologist?

and another way to say his name is jiminy christmas

yes that is exactly the case!!
because archaeventurer sounds silly
