[Riz similarly goes into a mode that is all business -- all rizness. He even has a little notepad that he is reading from.]
Right, so, Team Rocket seems to be a primary criminal element in this world. From what I've heard, they've been responsible for both petty crimes and big things. I mean stuff like attacking banks and capturing the Elite Four at least once. There's also people saying they are involved in, like, the gambling establishments here, which I don't have any proof of, but I also wouldn't put beyond them. Cause of course criminals are involved in gambling, that is like crime 101.
But as a regular trainer out on the road, especially as a newcomer, you're more like to deal with their grunts -- which are their low level members that focus on stealing pokemon from other trainers. Technically everybody can be a target, though they do seem to focus on pokemon that are either very powerful or rare. A lot of them attack people while in uniform to disguise their own identities, so if you see anyone approaching out all dressed in black with caps and large red Rs on their shirts, just fuckin' run, you know? They aren't above punching you if it comes down to it.
[Ask him how he knows!]
I've also know of at least one person that got here and was immediately kidnapped by them. They tried to blackmail him into working for them, so be wary of that as well.
The police are pretty useless when it comes to handling anything Team Rocket related, and I've got my theories as to why, so don't bother going to them. Instead, if you run into any trouble, Rocket related or otherwise, you should contact miss Jane Crocker of the Fletcher Gym in Goldenrod City. She's also from another world and she runs a detective agency. I work for her too, and I promise we'll actually take your cases seriously.
