Because apparently redheads suit the Numel line

[[Having received the order from the Boss to train harder, Ariana has, of course, taken it to heart. She's currently perched comfortably on her Arbok, with her Vileplume leaning against it, snoozing. Both pokemon look significantly stronger than before. Above her, her newly evolved Honchkrow (thanks to a handy pokemon manual she found) is soaring

[...well. That's a rival team's insignia, but she's attractive enough. Judging by her other Pokemon, she's not too familiar with either ground or fire, as training goes. And with that level of inattentiveness, once that Numel actually evolves she seems like the sort to misjudge an Eruption and get half her face burned off.

This? This is a spectacle waiting to happen.]

Mm, I don't know; they're good Pokémon. Strong. Reliable.

With enough patience, of course.

[[But y u mad, tho? C:]]

And here was me thinking you were the sociable type.

[[You're one hell of a douche, aren't you?]]

[oceansbane]

It's more along the lines of when it suits me to be, then I don't see why not.

[You're...just noticing?]

[red_rockette]

Are you calling me boring, Mr....?

[[Well, you have been such a gentleman....]]

[oceansbane]

[...lol wat

jumping to ridiculous and completely nonsensical conclusions is apparently a redhead thing here, isn't it]

My name is Maxie - and if you're going to come to conclusions like that, I think we'd both be better off if you didn't put words in my mouth.

[[Don't you dare group her with you southern yokels, thanks]]

Forgive me, then, dear Magma leader. But it's a pleasure to meet you, you know. I'm Ariana.

[A Note To Miss Ariana, Executive and Interim Boss of Team Rocket:

There was a rebuttal against that initial comment here, but then it was realized that Maxie is a literal cave-dweller, drinks way too much booze and has based most of his life off of violent sport and questionable amounts of bromance, therefore making this assessment not too far off the mark. Consider the rebuttal retracted.

Well played, Madam. Well played.

You're quite the interesting one, Ariana.

[red_rockette]

[[And her ego has just expanded quite nicely; thank you very much~

I'm sure you're no average joe yourself, Maxie.

...if only you'd demonstrate.
