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?
