Scene Two: Act One [Video/Action]

[tickleironysjudgment]

[The feed opens up to Agnus, surrounded by books and papers sitting at his nifty-looking desk in the Goldenrod Rocket Labs building in an office. He is currently shuffling through pages in what appears to be a...manual of gems and precious metals? Seems that he just sat the gear down and forgot about it, but then he turns to look at the camera and shifts his monocle.]

Would anyone happen to know a few decent training spots around the Goldenrod area? I've come into the possession of several new pokemon from eggs that lack abilities. I would like to get my team up to snuff. Any assistance would be appreciated.

[He quietly shuts the feed off for the time being, then goes back to his research.]

((Rockets of the Goldenrod labs are free to approach him, he's just sitting around doing research ATM! o/))

I believe we might have met a week or so ago. The Gear can be such an informal way to greet someone; my apologies.

[[Allow him to walk over and offer a gloved hand.]]

Dr Kato, R and D.

Doctor Kato! Yes, yes I recall now.

[Allow Agnus to take that hand and give you a civil, firm handshake good sir.]

A pleasure to finally meet you, Dr. Kato. Indeed. And to what do I owe the privilege of this occasion?

[He sets his book aside for the moment.]

[artfuldestruction]

Nothing particularly ground-breaking; I just noticed you reading that book and was curious as to what you intended to use the information for. I'm yet to experiment with Psychics myself; not really my field, you see, but I must admit that it intrigues me, as I train a Psychic-type.

[[That firm handshake will be firmly returned, then.]]

That and I always have an interest in meeting my fellow scientists. It's a pleasure, Agnus.

[Action]

[tickleironysjudgment]

Allow me to explain, then, as it would be my pleasure. You see, in my previous line of work I discovered a sort of resonance between demonic power and certain metals and gemstones. Just as well, much of my research into demons had trappings in mythology and legend, which speaks quite far of the powers of these same certain things.

[He motions over the a stack of papers, then slowly fans them out for the other Doctor's consumption of information. Short essays on the proposed effects of Moonstones, some hypothetical statements about Mt. Moon, a few interesting thoughts on trying to find a mechanical way to enhance psychic power. Really, Agnus has quite plotted out his research track.]

Of course, I fully well anticipate having to find creative and innovative means to enhance psychic power. However, I should say that I already have numerous potential methods in mind. The process merely becomes one of elimination, weeding out the workable ideas from the failures.

[Action]

[artfuldestruction]

...demons, you say?

[[Well. Kato certainly wasn't expecting that.]]

I can't say I've had much experience in that area, but it certainly sounds....fascinating.

[[And it does! In a...rather morbid sort of way.]]

And have you had many workable ideas?

[Action]

[tickleironysjudgment]

A few, I think. The only major area of concern is finding materials that react to psychic power. Once I can isolate natural or, in the event of such, synthetic materials that are reactive I can begin the process of experimentation.

[He grins a little at the interest in demonology.]

Demonology is actually not entirely unlike the study of pokemon. In fact, I was quite surprised when I began working. The similarities are remarkable.
