"Oh, it's not so much an army as organized crime," Steven explains. "See, when people end up in this world, we usually get found by one of two people before we even wake up. Most people get found by the Fake Mom—we call her that because she thinks she's everyone's mother—but if Team Rocket finds you, you end up being inducted onto the Team. Like I was eight or nine months ago. Like you're being now.
"It's not too bad, really. After training week, you can leave the base and you'll always be able to get room and board from the Team if you need it and you'll get a weekly stipend of money. You have to turn in a Pokemon every other week for your quota, but otherwise you don't have to do anything else unless they're calling us in for a mandatory mission. Technically you're supposed to steal your quota Pokemon, but they never check, so feel free to catch them instead. A lot of us do."
