Experience all the way here, this place is just another weekend getaway for me, I've seen a lot worse and more fucked up dimensions to be stuck in. I figure either I'll find my own way out of here once I get bored, or my grandson or granddaughter will realize they need something from me and find wherever I left my portal gun and come get me, so, really, nothing that matters much.

[ And because it's fucking Pokemon, he doesn't foresee himself getting bored anytime soon, especially as he thinks back on the games and the goals and how those could relate to this world. ]

The Champion is like, bragging rights. You get to wave your achievements over your head and tell everyone to kiss your ass, you're better than them and you've got the title to prove it.

[ Which means that's exactly what his goal here is going to be, he can appreciate the thought behind it more than most what with his compulsive need to be better than everyone around him at everything. ]

A-And Team Rocket, is pr--uuurrrpr--etty basic. Some guy who was a Gym Leader in Kanto ran the whole operation, with their main goals being stealing and collecting rare pokemon by any means necessary, and generally being your regular run of the mill thugs running shady businesses and scamming people for their own ends. So, if they are around in this dimension, they won't be hard to miss if you know what you're looking for. Black uniforms with a giant red "R" across the front is usually dead giveaway.

[ Lying, crazy, truthful, or anything inbetween, all it really means is if what he says is true, he has an escape plan. Good on him, and his grandchildren. Tracking down drunkards because you need something is apparently consistent enough between places.

Either way, if his information is good, it tells her she wants to avoid this Pokemon Champion title, as it has no value other than being ostentatious, and if she wants to be part of the backdrop, keep it simple, stupid. Not hard to guess, and not far off what she'd been thinking, but something she might be able to fact check once she's in town. ]

... They wear uniforms. Obvious uniforms.

[ Run of the mill thugs indeed, and she might have found it funny, given how uniformed institutions had an abundance of abuse and shady characters and deals going on behind the bright and shiny facade, but it's just tiring. At least these goons on the low levels will be easy to pick out and avoid. It's the ones who understand the concept of subtly that'd be more difficult to spot, though she might guess at how the obvious ones tried picking targets.

She wonders if any of them can fight, or if only their pokemon could. Small statured, female, and slight along with being a lone wanderer? This is going to be a bother. ]

So kind of them, if that ends up being true here.

Granted, this was a video game we're talking about here, and not one really geared towards the highest common denominator, so the whole walking around with a bright red neon target on their asses might not be the way things roll here, but, who knows. I've seen stupider shit.

[ Whether or not she decides to believe a word he says is no matter to him. He's full of shit on the best of days, but he says what he does because he knows he's right and anyone who thinks he's wrong is wrong themselves and will inevitably realize what a jackass they were for even daring to think they knew better than him. There's always a margin for error, sure, but that's what memory guns are for.

Shit, he needs to make a new one of those. Or look into some Pokemon hypnosis bullshit, should have the same effect if done right. ]

[lyingheart]

No end to the depths of stupidity.

[ Or the depths of which people will follow a status-quo, but hey, it is what it is. She shrugs her pack off her shoulder, unzipping it to push things around until she finds what she wants in order to wipe the dried blood off her leg. She manages it while standing up, foot planted against a decent sized stone. ]

What kind of pokemon is the one hanging around you?
