Rocket-propelled Pokemon Tabletop

"And if we find some lubrative operations, how are we to inform you of this?" Sergio asks, stroking his mushtache, then adds "do you leave region frequently?"

"It's none of your goddamn business where I go. And it's lucrative. Lu-cra-tive. Fucking foreigners... You get my number once I know you're not going to call me every five fucking minutes asking for a lift to the next town. We're expecting some initiative from you lot; these internships aren't your typical grunt work. If you can't hold down a situation between yourselves, be a bit more resourceful. Blackmail and bribery can get you more help than you need, a lot of the time.

"Don't tell me there's no competition from other syndicates. Law enforcement sounds tough, but not unified, and no matter how moronic their goals may seem, new criminal organizations sprout like tall grass in even moderately civilized regions."

Gerald just kind of stares absently at the map, then without much conviction runs his finger up the mountain range which bisects the bulk of Ship Island. He passes the coastal settlement of Rosten, then follows the road from there further up the coast. A finger taps at a hill where the road stops.

"The Stone Mines, under Mount Malacor. That's the most obvious place we'd find competition. We don't hear about political... upheaval, per se, but Aroa isn't exactly famed for its elemental stone exports. (A collective WIS check seems to support this assumption.) Someone's controlling the supply, and it isn't that bushman lunatic of a Leader Diego."

"Other than the Ridge Road, you'll hear about the odd outlaw or pack of brigands patrolling the common routes between towns. Down on Shark, there's been infighting for a few years now about some shit I never bothered to care about. Whether that's been stoked by saboteurs or mass stupidity and egos I have no clue."

"Meridion also features larceny and scam artists, but in a city of artists and other cultural shit like that it almost seems a given. Agent Marsden hasn't told me about anything worth seeing in the place, which is probably why he stays on this side of the bridge."

"What do you know about rare pokemon in Aroa? Does it have a lot of natives you don't see elsewhere, or should we just keep our eyes peeled for Chanseys and Dunsparces?"

"Water all the way round the region, with a deep trench just off the coast from Kairuk Town. That especially brings a lot of deep-sea Pokemon closer to Aroa than other places. Also makes trying to bring a boatload of Rocket grunts into a less-known port fucking dangerous."

"Because of its isolation, most what ended up here either came with humans or, if wild, is strong enough to fly, swim, or survive the drift. Course, if you wanted a lesson on biogeography, Gotta Catch 'em All edition, you're talking to the wrong guy. Talasarch university's libraries will prove more helpful. Otherwise, it'd be the usual shit - isolated areas like Anchor Island, or Shark Island's Hinderlands are where the wildest things are. Course, Anchor Island's all but inaccessible, because of that one bird fetishist who lords over Apteric City."
