Man I wish I could filter this thing so I only got all the important parts. I'm glad someone's paying attention to the news but I guess that doesn't really count if they're the one helping to edit it. Instead all I get is blah blah blah prom blah blah wanna go out

Don't you think that talking about Team Rocket on a journal network that Team Rocket's leader reads is kind of a bad idea? Besides, you only get one prom! That's a big deal for a high school kid!

Does it look like I'm staging a coup? It doesn't matter where you talk about 'em, they'll find out if they really want to. Ignorance may be bliss but it doesn't make you any less ignorant. How many budding teenagers do you think actually listen to the news? I'll just be waiting to say I told you so when they realize what they've been turning deaf ears to.

As far as I can tell anyone can go to this. Doesn't that mean you get four of them if you're a freshman?

Come on, there's absolutely no way that the Pokemon or the trainers around here actually don't know about Rocket activity in their own city! Just 'cause they aren't panicking doesn't mean they don't know.

And I mean your prom, not just a prom you're going to. It's not like people graduate high school twice.

Guess we can just agree that my faith in the population ain't as stellar as your shining example.

So then why are you so excited? You're not graduating.

I'm just saying that the Rocket years were a really scary time if you were in Kanto or Johto, that's all.

It's my first prom ever! I quit school when I was ten, so I really didn't even get to do regular dances!

[private to no I quite like the closet miss pantytwists]

Then I'll just have to thank the lot of you for bringing them here.

... They're not anything to write home about. Your senior prom is gonna seem a whole lot less special if you go to all of 'em.

[private to it's my closet too duchess of douche]

[notsilvertongue]

What makes you so sure we brought them over here? Giovanni was already around before I showed up, you know.

No it's not! I have to know what to expect so I don't do anything stupid at my senior prom. This is research.

"The lot of you" ain't just you, sweets. He didn't show up till you big name trainers started showing up, gym leaders included. Weird but true.

Couldn't you just put in any random teen movie? That's basically all they are.
