For a place that's supposed to be a Lab, it's sure is [Deep breath, girl!]

Diimiitriiiiiii!! Whaaaat's youuuuuuurs?

[There's just something fun about having a conversation across such a big distance. He'll come over eventually, but for now it's fun just to shout.]

[betabangs]

[This really is too fun.]

Bluuuuuuuue! B! L! U! E! Bluuuuuuue! Aaand it's niiiice to meeeet youuuu!

[deserthobo]

It's niiiiiiice to meet you tooooooo!

[Blue can't see it, but Dimitri is grinning like the big doofus that he is at heart.]

[betabangs]

[Same over here!]

I've never seeeeen clothes like thaaaat! What are you weaaaaring?

[Not that she can see his clothing like, stellar well, but.]

[deserthobo]

It is my uuuu-niiii-foooooorm!

[Okay, the conversation is getting a little complex. Time to move forward!]

[betabangs]

[She will too! She wants to see his uuuu-niiii-fooooorm up close.]

Is it a poncho?

[deserthobo]

No, it is not. [He flips the hood up, smiling cheerfully.] It is a cowl! It shows that I am a member of Team Magma.

[betabangs]

[A cowl! That's pretty cool.] What's Team Magma? I've only ever heard of Team Rocket, and they were defeated by Red.

[deserthobo]

Team Magma is an team devoted to expanding the land! [It is a very smart and well-thought out plan that could in no way backfire terribly.]

[betabangs]

[Wow, that sounds like a great plan that could never hurt anyone ever!] Why would you want to do that?

[deserthobo]

To create homes for Pokemon that have been displaced by humans.

[betabangs]

That sounds so nice! Team Rocket just wanted to steal them and sell them!

[deserthobo]

That is terrible. [Team Magma only steals Pokemon..........

Who would be happy and welcome within their team!!]

[betabangs]

[Do they ask them??]

They're no problem anymore. I heard they were disbanded.

[deserthobo]

... no comment...]

Ah, really? What a relief! A whole team of Pokemon thieves seems a little scary...

[betabangs]

They won't be coming back, so there's no need to worry. I'm sure Team Magma could handle them too!

[deserthobo]

But of course! We hold our own against our rivals, Team Aqua, very well.

[betabangs]

[Wait, wait. She is a smart ten year old. She can do this...]

They're your rivals, so... Do they want to expand the sea?

[deserthobo]

Yes, that is right. It is a dangerous and misguided idea.

[betabangs]

It sounds like it. Is it to help Pokémon displaced by humans too?

[deserthobo]

Well, yes. But their methods would destroy the homes of coastal Pokemon! And it would surely damage the many cities in Hoenn that are built by the sea.

[betabangs]

But expanding the lands means you're ruining the homes of Pokémon who live in the oceans too, right?

[deserthobo]

Well... the sea covers over 70% of our world's surface. There is plenty of room for them.

[betabangs]

But some Pokémon only live in certain climates, right? What if you make it expand so much that it throws it out of whack...?
