You know, giant robots you can control. Those things on TV.

Don't say however you want to run it and whatever you want to bring into it if you don't mean it.

[forprofit]

I do mean it, I just - what do you mean, TV robots...?

[feistytrader]

...Big robot suits you can fight in.

[forprofit]

...Ah, those. Right.

[...]

You like those?

[feistytrader]

Yeah. They're cool.

[forprofit]

And...how would you like to use them?

[feistytrader]

[To beat up bad... No. Come on, think of something. Think of something good to sell him.]

We could make people fight each other in mechas in some stadium, kind of like a Pokémon battle. [Yeah. That sounds good. He'd love to do that.] We can charge people to watch. More money for the front seats. Big bets behind the scenes.

[forprofit]

A betting operation? [Ooh, it's been a while since they've been able to get into any gambling businesses. Those were the good old days.]

[feistytrader]

As long as it didn't take away from the spirit of the fighting, I don't see why not.

[forprofit]

That'd be a lot of materials to obtain. We do have some technology that could be reused to start building...

[feistytrader]

It shouldn't be too hard to borrow the materials. [He's perfectly fine with stealing things, just... not Pokémon.]

[forprofit]

Ah, yes, borrow. [WINK WINK NUDGE NUDGE.]

[feistytrader]

If we steal them slowly and in smaller quantities, then we shouldn't attract too much unwanted attention. [Since you know, they're still rebuilding and all.

...This still feels a little wrong, but compared to the idea of hurting Pokémon again, it's nothing. Was it really this easy all this time?...]

[forprofit]

Yes, we should lay low for a while. I'll start researching on what we'll need the moment we get back.

[feistytrader]

...You mean it?

[Why didn't he do this before? What was he thinking?]

[forprofit]

I always say what I mean when it comes to you. [Settle down Archer they've only known each other for like three days.]

[feistytrader]

...We've only met twice.

[forprofit]

Yes, we have. [Your point is...?]

[feistytrader]

[...What a weirdo...]

[forprofit]

[What's that look for]

...Would you like to go back now?

[feistytrader]

[Oh. uh.

This building's taken care of, so uh-] Shouldn't we take care of the other old bases first?

[forprofit]

If you're up for it. We can return any time you like. [In case you're hungry or tired or want to go back and get a foot rub, just saying!]

[feistytrader]

We can't return until the job's done. [Come on, he's already getting Honchkrow out. Let's head to the next base before the smoke coming from that extinguished fire really does attract attention.]

[forprofit]

As you command. [Alright, he'll get out that Golbat so they can start moving.] Next one is closer to the mountains. Shall we?
