#also I'm really glad the boss lady sent us like 10 hats

Thanks, fam! I actually think from their embarrassed mumbling that Birch has roots (pun so very intended) in Ecruteak. Would explain the singular Bellsprout.

Anyway, yeah, send em our way! Let's haunt the shit out of this park for a bit, that feels like a pretty Team Skull appropriate activity. Gotta be at least a little bit of a menace, right? If folks start kicking up a fuss about the number of ghosts, we'll just hit the road for a little bit and haunt our way back towards Ecruteak. Or maybe down towards the forest first, bet the little ones would love it there. The spooking is good in Ilex.

Good news guys! Team Skull....2! has its first new member. Their name is Birch and they have a Bellsprout because some people are just born stereotypical I guess. Alternatively their mom could have been a psychic. This IS Johto. Couldn't be me, my name was made for like a dragon tamer. Anyway, we met in the park and definitely not because we were both sleeping here. I snapped a shitty selfie in honor of their joining.

They have a trainer's license and, as mentioned, a single Bellsprout, so clearly training is working out as well for them as it did for me. Anyway, I'm working on finding us some skull accessories. It seems like we should look the part, inasmuch as we should have at least one skull on our person.
