... You were serious when you said you didn't recruit.

Pokemon are creatures from my world. The easiest comparison is animals, apparently.
FROM: oak.green@cdc.org
We live alongside pokemon, help each other out. For me, I train them to battle. I have a team of my own to make them the best they can be. [ Not at all different from what Armada does, but Green doesn't know that yet. ]
[ The image is described to Armada. He does not have site, so as all things, the interface he has with his suit explains things such as this. He will need to see the creature face to face to truly comprehend it. For now, his mental image is a cross between 1, the cyborg dog previously on his team, and the Bahari. ]

DAY 70
So I take it you're my boss, or something?
... Can I ask a question?
no subject
You can ask.
FROM: armada@cdc.org
I won't promise an answer.
no subject
That sure is reassuring.
FROM: oak.green@cdc.org
I just want to know - my Pokemon are safe, right? Cared for and... yeah.
[ Basically this is "you're not experimenting on my team, they're with you right?". ]
no subject
If they were with you at the time of recruitment, they are in CDC custody.
FROM: armada@cdc.org
Yes, they're safe.
no subject
Okay, cool. [ Then minutes later - ]
FROM: oak.green@cdc.org
Thanks... Armada.
no subject
As long as you keep to your contract, that is.
no subject
Right. The contract where you forgot to mention what I'd be doing here. Thanks for that, by the way.
I'm not stupid enough to get my team killed, don't worry.
no subject
I didn't recruit you.
FROM: armada@cdc.org
I'm glad to hear that.
FROM: armada@cdc.org
Then you already have an idea of how to do your job here.
no subject
Then if you can let them know, that'd be great.
Guess so. Listen to what you say, fight, protect. It's not that hard.
no subject
I appreciate your positivity.
no subject
... Thanks?
no subject
Do you know what we do?
no subject
As a whole?
Or Green team? [ He's never getting over the fact that he's in a team called 'Green', of all colors of the rainbow. ]
FROM: oak.green@cdc.org
You guys (we?) destroy planets.
I don't know if I want to know why
no subject
I think I expected more of a struggle.
FROM: armada@cdc.org
You already seem to have a grasp of what this team does.
no subject
From me?
I told you, I'm not stupid enough to get my pokemon killed because I didn't listen.
FROM: oak.green@cdc.org
I can do it, as long as I don't have to like it.
no subject
You don't.
FROM: armada@cdc.org
What are pokemon?
no subject
Good.

//Attached: ARCANINE.
This is the one I have with me right now. There are 5 others with you guys.
no subject
FROM: armada@cdc.org
You use them to fight in your military?
no subject
FROM: oak.green@cdc.org
What? No.
It's a friendly competition against two trainers to see who raised their pokemon to be stronger.
FROM: oak.green@cdc.org
Though there's a guy who took down a shady organization by himself because his team was stronger than their leader's.
FROM: oak.green@cdc.org
But mostly it's competition. They're also smart/strong enough to help out with everything else.
no subject
A show of strength?
FROM: armada@cdc.org
I like the sound of that.
FROM: armada@cdc.org
And you are successful?
no subject
Yeah. Most of the time.
I was champion once too. Strongest in the region. [ As he casually omits for how long. ]
FROM: oak.green@cdc.org
I'm (was?) a gym leader now
Trainers come challenge me to try and beat me. If they beat all 8 of us, they can challenge the league.
no subject
Then you are a strategist.
FROM: armada@cdc.org
Have many defeated you in battle?
no subject
Isn't that blue, or something? Are you already telling me I'm on the wrong team?
FROM: oak.green@cdc.org
A few. But only because my job says I can't crush all of their hopes.
Outside of that, 2.
no subject
Green needs strategists as well.
FROM: armada@cdc.org
That is unfortunate. Your job description, I mean.
[ Armada also understands what it is like to be confined by the small print. ]
no subject
Don't get me started on unfortunate
It doesn't matter, they'll be crushed later anyway.
