001 | ACTION FOR GOLDENROD ROCKET BASE | VIDEO
[ACTION:]
[It was a normal day in the Team Rocket base.
And then a hero woke up within.
Cynthia read the note; that much should be obvious from the fact that the girl is charging about the base with it in her hand. However, she clearly didn't heed the instructions, given that she's doing so in her armor rather than switching into the uniform. She looks determined, but also confused and lost.
...very slightly confused and very, very lost. She's probably wandering into every part of the base except the ones that Grunts aren't actually allowed to enter (though not for lack of trying). Behind her at all times is a worried looking Blitzle, who seems like she really wants to try and gently grab Cynthia's skirt and lead her back to their room but is very slightly to afraid to.
Do you wish to engage? ...you... might regret it, because at the very least, it's going to be a weird experience.]
[VIDEO:]
[It looks like some random Grunt has taken enough pity on the poor girl to explain to her how the Gear works, because, wonder of wonders, the Gear has turned on and there is a white-haired teenage girl on the screen, looking off to the right.]
So, am I doing this right? Can everyone see this?
[The offscreen individual's response is inaudible. However, it was apparently affirmative, because the girl turns back to the screen, a look of wonder on her face.]
Woah...
[Then her face breaks into a huge grin, and she shakily adjusts the Gear so that she, a timid-looking Blitzle, and a mildly flabbergasted looking Murkrow are...
... well, they're kind of in the frame?
They're occasionally in the frame.
Sometimes.]
Greetings, citizens, and beware, evildoers! I hope you can all see me all right, because the Great Hero Cynthia and her faithful companions, Thunderhoof and Sablefeather, have arrived in... uh, wherever this is!
[Her expression falters a bit, and the camera focuses back on her.]
Well, actually, I'm supposed to be off saving some other world... but I ended up here, instead. Does anyone know what's up with that? I've been asking around, and no one seems to know. I mean, if I'm here, then I bet this world does need saving, because psssh, why else would I have ended up here?
But, uh, I kind of need to save my past, so...
[...a realization seems to strike her.]
Oooh, wait! This has to be some kind of test run! All right, everyone!
[She... does something that shakes the camera and tries to look really dramatic and inspiring, but right now, she's probably just inspiring motion sickness...]
If you need a hero for anything, then I'm your girl! Just send me a messenger, or --- oh, wait! I guess you don't have to because you can just use this thing! Well, I can tackle anything you need me to!
[She grins.
...the camera lingers a bit. The Blitzle, apparently named Thunderhoof, attempts to hide behind Sablefeather, who just looks up at her in exasperation.
... Cynthia looks back to the grunt.]
...uh, how do you end this...?
[After a few seconds, she figures it out.]

[ audio ]
How do you get badges, anyway? I'm assuming there's something special involved in it, at the very least.

[ audio ]
Besides, your Pokémon won't do a thing without your guidance. You tell them what to do, they do it. It's a weird form of teamwork, I guess.
I know how you feel, anyway, but that's just the way things are here.
[ audio ]
And... huh. So, I guess I'm kind of like the tactician here? I think that was someone else's job back home, though. Oh well, there's no reason I can't give it a shot!
[ audio ]
Every soldier needs a commander, and your Pokémon are no different. But they're not just used for fighting... they're sentient, too. So think about how you treat them and all that.
[ This was getting mushy and out of his territory, so Snake just sort of mutters that last bit. ]
[ audio ]
[...that's not actually that comforting.]
[ audio ]
Well, You can use them to cross over great distances, or fly through the air, or swim across the ocean... As long as they know how to do that, and are the appropriate size.
[ audio ]
...but, uh, all the ones I have right now are kind of tiny. Do they get bigger?
[ audio ]
Apparently my starter doesn't evolve, but my first one did, and she's now bigger than I am.
