Yeah. There are quite a few of non-NPC's in Team Rocket... while I could see someone like the idiot Cobra joining them out of his own will, there are a lot of us who definitely didn't do so.

[So his guess is that people have been waking up in Team Rocket for quite a long time.]

So if someone seems to start in Goldenrod, they're most likely one of the unfortunate ones.

I see...I had wondered about people not starting with Mom in Newbark, but I hadn't thought it was anything nefarious!

[ Not that she means he is nefarious by any means, but more...well, people waking up in Team Rocket. ]

That's...weird. I wonder why some people end up in one place and not the other. Or does everyone start out in the same location and simply get moved...?

I don't know. It seems to be as random as people coming or leaving this place. I doubt anyone even remembers what happened before they woke up at the base or at mom's house.

[Except in their own worlds, but well, that was obvious.]

I'll also be honest... and say that when I was in the team, I stole a few Pokémon. Definitely not because I wanted to and I felt guilty for each one. I just didn't have much of a choice. I needed to stay on their good side, because I needed information from them. So I could deliver it for people on the outside.

I certainly don't! Though I wish I did. It might give us more answers than we currently have!!

[ Aradia just nods at the admission. ...It...probably helps that she's from a pretty cutthroat society, but that motivation makes perfect sense to her, and the means required to do so are pretty forgivable. He didn't kill anyone (...which still might be forgivable) so. ]

Well, that does seem to be the main motivation of the team. Though...what happens to those who refuse to cooperate?

[More answers would be good. Living with constant lack of knowledge was a bit difficult...]

Well, if you refused for too long you could get kicked out of the team and be revealed to the police... or punished some other way.

[He laugh, slightly.] I almost suffered their other punishments for quite different reasons, but I managed to escape so I don't know what they might really do. I do know it wouldn't be nice. They don't like lazy people or traitors.

...That's...not at all good. Is there any way to leave the team entirely, or...? How did you manage that?

There is. I think it's the only way and most Team Rocket members don't even know such a thing exists.

[He wouldn't have known if some higher ranking officer didn't tell the whole Team Rocket network.]

Every Team Rocket starter Pokémon has a microchip implanted on them. Apart from tracking people, it also seems to ensure that the Pokémon are loyal to the team. So in order to get out you need to take the chip out, and the only way to do that is to go to nurse Joy... which means officer Jenny will find out you're a member and you get two weeks of community service.

...Good lord. I wonder if...I know someone else who might need to know this.

But if it's only two weeks...why don't more people get out, I wonder?

They don't know. Team Rocket keeps saying there's a huge penalty when the cops find out.

I have been wondering if I should make a network announcement, anonymous one, to tell anyone who needs to know... it could come in handy.

If nothing else, I do know at least one person I'd like to tell that to...

[ Since she knows a rocket member who doesn't like being in the team.

Aradia, stop talking to all these rockets. ]

Feel free to pass the information on, of course. Though remember to warn them it might be dangerous, if the members of the team find out...

There is that. How do you deal with them?

I courageously ran away. [He sounded so proud.] Though seriously, the only way to really avoid trouble with them is to lay low and not upset them. Not speaking with them would be good as well.

[Wait a second, Ren. You've done some of those already :|]

Well...if you ever need help because of them, do let me know. I'll assist, and I know my friends would, too.

Thank you, Aradia. I certainly hope I won't get into any trouble with them again...
