No, it's not. You believe the rhetoric, you're helping it happen. Maybe you're just a lowly grunt, but without the grunts the team won't work. You think Gio would go out and do your work himself? The admins?
[this is something he's had to admit to himself recently; he's willing to take responsibility for his team, but he can't take away their autonomy in the events either.]
[he closes his eyes and sighs, turning away in the water to look back to sharpedo and marenie.]
One day you're gonna be ordered to do something you don't wanna do. Maybe you'll have to turn someone else's Inkay into sushi. I just hope you're able to realise Giovanni going too far before it gets personal.

He wouldn't.
That's not what our Organization is all about!

[seriously??]
Then what is it about? Arceus, at least I could say when my team had fallen to the depths of villainy because of me.
no subject
We want to rule the world, not destroy it.

[as angry as he is... this is an interesting look into rocket stuff he never would've gotten before...]
no subject
Maybe they won't mind it in the end.

[He snorts, but his voice has a note to it that suggests this is something he tries not to think about too much.]

I'm an elite field agent, thank you very much!
[He'll get to the larger point in a moment but he feels his ego being wounded here.]

[He snaps his fingers.]
We'll unify the world under our banner of evil.

We've done it before.

[how did he not guess that everything about james' world would confuse him so!]
no subject
[Awkward pause.]
...So we tackled him off the side of a wall.
no subject
[it makes him feel worse, if anything. the water becomes clear around him and still-- very cold, too.]
You were fine letting him go back to doing what he did that led him to slipping that far?
no subject
Spying on enemies, collecting rare and valuable Pokémon...
[He leans back on his arms in the water and Mareanie finally emerges from the depths of the lake, holding the crystal rose in her tentacles.
She hops past the two men to join Inkay on the shore.]
Why are you so interested?
no subject
That's why.
no subject
That's sweet.
[He sighs.]
I wish you were the boss of Team Rocket. That would make things so much less complicated.
[Not an opinion Meowth would share, he knows. James almost feels like he's offending his companion from a dimension away by saying it.]
no subject
[he sighs.]
You'd probably get on well with Shelly. She's very science minded as well...
no subject
[He stands up and wrings water from his shirt.]
I can't leave the Team. At Team Rocket I'm somebody.
Besides, what would my chums think?
no subject
[he shrugs, staying in the water. it's nice, even if it's really cold now.]
I wouldn't stop them joining up either.
no subject
[He looks down at Archie.]
I can be important and stay with Jess and Meowth and stay hidden.
Team Aqua can't provide that...can it?
no subject
[he sighs, flicking a bit of ice in the water, watching it bob along.]
