Goldenrod Vending Machine Sitting in the corner of the dingy Goldenrod Tunnel are a row of Vending Machines, each one holding a variety of small Pokemon figures designed by Goldenrod's Toy Company (GTC). Behind a thin sheet of glass on the front of the machine is a small sheet of card holding information for how the Gacha machine operates. Putting £500 into the machine, a single capsule pops out with a random toy. If you successfully collect all 19 toys you can hand your fully stamped ticket to the Department Store's reception to get yourself a Teddiursa (Level 10) or Phanpy (Level 10) of your choosing. Special promotions will be run from time to time with teasers pointing towards a Pokemon imbued with the power of happiness.

Quickly pacing along the underground corridors of the Goldenrod Tunnel, there was a tall man dressed in garish clothing that stole the attention of those unfortunate enough to be in the vicinity. Looking with gasps and scared looks, the tall, oddly dressed man paid little attention to them. His massive, oversized shoes slapping against the floor every time he took a step, it was hard to walk about without drawing attention thanks to those alone. His eye shifting from side to side, it was clear he was about ready to kill anybody who bothered to point out how inanely stupid he looked. Standing still for a moment, the male stopped to look at himself in the reflection of a shop window. " This is utter foolishness. This is the last time I listen to Lucretia's plans." Taking in his reflection, it was hard to even make out who it was. However, there were some distinct traits that made it clear as to who this weirdly dressed individual was. Sporting an eye patch and a weirdly dressed midget on his shoulder, the male grumbled some more. To those that knew him, it was none other than Tobias. However, his garb was something that none could have predicted he would ever wear. Dressed from head to toe in what can only be described as clown gear was the male's current attire. Sporting outlandishly comically huge red shoes, he wore large patterned pantaloons with mismatched patches and stripes. His upper half sported a colourful array of stripes and massive puffy sleeves that sported a variety of stars and spots on them. To top off the suit was a large frilly clown collar. The costume didn't stop there however. His face painted white with bold make up splattered over his face, he looked like the world's saddest clown. A saddened pair of lips adorned over his own and a small tear marked under his visible eye, the eye patch had been decorated with a red star over it. Last but not least was the large red clown hair wig he had been given. Even Prometheus too had been given a makeover. Wearing a yellow waist jacket and striped red and white trousers, the simian was also given two cymbals in either hand and periodically smashed them together. Much to Tobias' chagrin. Even more of an annoyance was the jester like hat that sported a number of bells to each end of the hat. " The faster this is concluded, the better. I appreciate they have recently put up surveillance cameras to keep the gacha machines secure but I have no idea why it wasn't a better idea for me to hack into the systems or forge a winning ticket of my own." Ruing the day he ever entered conversation with Lucretia about acquiring rare and powerful Pokemon to his cause, he mumbled aggressively as his shoes slapped against the ground. Eventually, the duo made it to their goal. Standing at just below his height, the plastic toy dispenser was the source of all this embarrassment. Looking at the contraption, it seemed quite clear what had to be done. " Hmph. At least this is coming out of the Rocket treasury and not my own pocket." Scoffed the criminal. Taking out a number of pokedollar, he placed it into the machine in the hopes of securing most of the Pokemon off the ticket list. Tobias used up £5,000 pokedollars. OOC:
About time someone gave this a go. I'm going to see what ten goes nets me. If someone could deduct the funds also. Morri: Money updated.

OOC: If any mod has a question about this or needs help stamping the card (feel free to just make a mark on paint), feel free to PM me. You just need to roll the amount the payer asks for on an RNG between one and nineteen. If you get a duplicate, just continue and do not re-roll.

As the machine rattled on and dispensed a number of capsules, Tobias watched as the tray filled up with the fruits of his efforts. "Hm. Partaking in such childish endeavours..." Having had no childhood himself, forced to live in an orphanage and spend day to day dealing with endless chores, he wasn't sure exactly of what to make of this amusement. Starting to open up the capsules and stamping the ticket that was left in a section of the machine, he realised that the amount he had paid wasn't going to be nearly enough. "I have orders to do whatever it takes." He mused as he placed in another £5,000 pokedollar. Finding this whole affair quite entertaining, Prometheus loudly clashed his cymbals together much to the ire of Tobias. "If you do that once more..." He didn't even have to finish his sentence, the Pansear looked away and pretended not to be the cause of the racket.

Snapping open some more of the capsules, Tobias was clearly getting annoyed at the same Cyndaquil popping up. "Is this ridiculous machine full of nothing but these plastic lumps of waste?!" Pocketing away the figures in his baggy trousers, he pulled out another stack of £5,000 pokedollar bills and put them into the machine turn by turn. Looking at the ticket Prometheus was now clutching on to, it seemed they were almost there. "I'm sure the odds on these machines are fixed."
OOC: Another 10 goes for £5,000.

Feeling as if some progress had been made, Tobias stamped off a few more from his ticket but was feeling some stress settle in at some of the larger gacha figures not appearing. "These must be the rarer ones." Kicking the machine with his foot, he botched it completely with how large his clown shoes were, flopping the tip of them as they made contact with the machine to only rattle it slightly. "Fine. Another £5,000. These had best be as good as Lucretia made them out to be. I suppose once we gain access to them we can further our crackdown on their business." Inserting another wad of £5,000 pokedollars, he began to spin the machine, gacha capsule by gacha capsule.

Watching as a series of gacha capsules came flooding down, he plucked out the various ones and started to examine all the figures. " Duplicate. Duplicate. Duplicate." Throwing them aside without so much a care, it became quite laborious task until there were but two capsules left. " Hm." Picking up one of them, he noticed it felt considerably heavier. Cracking the plastic capsule open, he noticed he had made one step further. " A Blastoise." Grabbing the base of the figurine, he unscrewed the cap and dabbed it on the empty space allocated on the ticket. With just one capsule left and one space needing stamping, it was all or nothing. Cracking open the final one, his eye blinked as he had finally gained the final piece of the puzzle. " Venusaur." Stamping the ticket, he had gained a complete ticket. " With this we can claim one of the rare Pokemon this company is offering. That should be enough to get access to their systems by visiting the place without too much suspicion." Stepping away, he secured the ticket as not to lose it but as he did, his head turned and he looked at the childish gacha machine. " Hmm..." In a change of mind unlike Tobias, it appeared he was tempted to give it another go. " This description states another Pokemon can be claimed." Observing this also, Prometheus let out a mischievous laugh as if in agreement that his owner should continue. Feeling into his ridiculous baggy trousers, it appeared he had quite an amount more of money spared to him by Team Rocket for the operation. " Why not." Grabbing out a crazy amount of money, it appeared he had a rough estimate this time around of how much it'd cost to secure the other Pokemon. " £15,000." Separating all the monetary funds, he began cranking the centre switch to fill up the tray below. OOC: Here's what i'm claiming but i'm not introducing it just yet, i'll have Tobias waltz over to the collection point and have them together.

As the gacha machine went into overload and began dispensing the capsules by the bucket load, Tobias watched with great intensity as he saw the odd glimpse of the figures through the clear sided part of the plastic balls. Having cranked all of the turns he had available, he now had the indomitable task of processing through all the figurines to ascertain whether he had enough to finish off a ticket. Taking a massive handful in his arms, he planted them down on the bench next to the machine. Sitting down as he began clicking them open and checking their contents, he was off to a good start. Prometheus too had decided to join in, shimmying off the male's shoulder, he took up the opposite side of the bench and began happily opening up the capsules and presenting the figures up to Tobias with a proud enthusiasm to his movements. " Hm. Good progress thus far. We've almost done half the ticket." Pacing through some more, his face stared emotionless as he began to pick up some duplicates. " What rubbish." He muttered, obviously annoyed by the occurrence even if he didn't show it in his expression. Eventually, they began nearing the pile they had accumulated. With a couple of the figures on the list, it began to seem as if they were getting increasingly hard to get. " This had best not turn up short." He muttered ruefully. Having finished his remaining pile, Tobias stamped all the slots on his ticket. Bar one. Looking over to Prometheus, he pulled a face that spelt intense pressure on the simian. " You had best not fail me. That last capsule had best be the one we need." Showing the ticket to Prometheus, the monkey gulped before looking at the last capsule. Nervously stretching his arm out with a shaky temperance to it, the Pansear eventually plucked it up and gave it a small crack. As the Pokemon figure tumbled out, Tobias' eye focused on it in a shot. It was the final piece they needed. " Excellent. It appears we've achieved another complete ticket." Relieved from having picked the piece that was needed, Prometheus wasted no time in picking up his cymbals and giving them an almighty clash in celebration. His eye wincing, Tobias stared down at the Pokemon in a solemn manner. The sheer look was enough to stop Prometheus just inches of his cymbals making a further racket. Looking at the trainer's eyes, Prometheus knew not to anger him further. Clambering pack up to his usual perch on his shoulder, Tobias grabbed the two tickets in hand and looked at the address on the tickets. " Goldenrod Department Store is out next destination. Hmph. Was hoping not to have to parade around on the streets in such a gaudy fashion." Looking down and sighing wistfully at his attire, he made off with his large clown feet making awkward noises as he hurried along. As he came out of the underground tunnel and made it along the main street of Goldenrod, he ignored all sorts of attention from heckling, to cheers and even people gobsmacked thinking the circus had come to town. If there was one thing he was thankful for, it was that people would most likely be unable to link his current outfit with what he usually wore meaning it wasn't as if this was going to come back to haunt him. Entering in through the sliding doors, the same reactions continued as he made his way to the reception desk of the illustrious department store. " Here." He presented sternly, without so much an inclination as to what he was after. Blinking with shock, the customer service representative looked up and down before trying to hide his amusement. "WAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Heheh...Urk. Umm, I guess you're here to claim some prizes, eh?! Wow. You sure do get some strange folk out there..." His eye glaring, Tobias appeared to react at the very words. Partly wanting to keep some sort of cover but also because he wasn't going to let this employee think he dressed like this normally. " Are you trying to insinuate something?! I work for the Goldenrod Orphanage and it's my job to bring smiles to the children there. We had a fund raiser and we're going to be using these Pokemon we claim as helpers at the orphanage to cheer up the children." Having thought something up on the spot, it appeared to pass as a cover. "Alright, alright. I'm just jostling ya. Don't get ya pantaloons in a twist. Hahahahaha! So whaddya want?" His eye staring blankly, Tobias was tempted to bring into question the employee's intelligence but pointed at the two Pokemon on the ticket. " Two tickets, two different Pokemon obtainable. One of each." Looking down, it appeared they were a Phanpy and Teddiursa. Understanding his request, the employee appeared to have a light bulb switch on above his head. "Oh. OH. OHHHHHH! I got the perfect pair! We get these Pokemon from all kinds of sources and there was this odd duo that are inseparable. We tried sending them off separate but eheheh... That ended in bit of a mess so they've just been stuck here. Lemme go get them." Turning his back on Tobias, he went into the storeroom leaving the terminal unsupervised. " Perfect." Thought Tobias. Pulling up his sleeve, he launched his C-Gear and accessed the terminal remotely, hacking into the system using his Pokemon Lateralus is a enhancement to his own skills. In the time it had taken him to secure security protocols, surveillance controls and important data the employee returned one the wiser. " Perhaps this gear Lucretia handed to me had it's uses. Not an ounce of suspicion raised. Sometimes the best method of blending in is being as noticeable as possible." Coming back with two Pokeballs in hand the staff member summoned the Pokemon and presented them to Tobias. "TA DA! I said they're perfect because they go exact with your own clown getup. Man, it's like it was made to be! Fate you can call it!" As the Pokemon appeared on the counter, Tobias and Prometheus looked intently to see just exactly what the assistant had meant. As the Phanpy came into view, it was clear the Pokemon was something off a show off. Balancing on a rotund ball, the Pokemon balanced with ease as it rolled back and forth to maintain its position on the spot. Next to him, and certainly not as noticeable was a meek looking bear dressed up in a fez and jacket who stared at Tobias and Prometheus with some suspicion. If anything, it looked like the entire group had all come from the circus and were set to form their own to entertain Johto. Not saying a word, Tobias stared at them and accepted their Pokeballs. Prometheus on the other hand chuckled mischievously as he found their appearances somewhat silly. Not that he could talk. " That'll be all." Concluded Tobias as he recalled the Pokemon and pocketed them. It had been bit of an excursion but he had obtained two Pokemon for his own use and obtained the data required by Team Rocket. A mission accomplished. Turning around, he made to exit the store. " The sooner we get rid of this costume the better." He cursed under his breath. As he did, he walked by a family with a child who held an oversized Pikachu balloon. Fumbling in the way of Tobias as he pushed by, Prometheus took the opportunity to scratch it, causing it to blow up with a loud bang. As the kid began crying, Tobias exited out of the store and made his way to the Team Rocket base. Finally worked out a personality for Zanzibar. Providing it here to show it's been confirmed along with Mr.Bear. TeddiursaName: Mr.Bear Gender: MaleLevel: 10 Moves: Scratch, Leer, Lick, Close Combat Ability: Pick Up Nature/Personality: A terrible crybaby, the Pokemon has never really learnt how to stand up for himself. Seemingly always picked on by his peers, the Pokemon longs for a day it can be respected and treated like everyone else. Now and again the Pokemon exhibits a massive outburst of bottled up anger but this usually falls flat as soon as it starts. Never seen without his fez and jacket. PhanpyName: Zanzibar Gender: MaleLevel: 10 Moves: Ice Shard, Defence Curl, Flail, Take Down Ability: Pick Up Nature/Personality: An extreme show off, Zanzibar cares for only one thing and that is attention and time in the spotlight. Despite being somewhat self centred, the Pokemon is actually bearable to be around and its displays of showmanship are quite something to behold. Having grown up alongside Mr.Bear, Zanzibar is the closest thing the ursine has to a friend. Even then, Zanzibar does take a few liberties in being a so called friend by making Mr.Bear the butt of his performances.

Marchbaby approached the vending machine with all of the money he had on hand. After getting pretty lucky winning a Bergmite in the Kalos festival he wanted to see if he could get lucky again as the two prize Pokemon might just be of some use. He highly doubted he would get lucky enough to win both Pokemon with his funds but even if he got one it would be well worth it as both Pokemon were a rare sight in this part of Johto. He placed 28000 Poke into the machine and pulled the lever hoping for some good luck. " Here is hoping I have good fortune here. This is my life savings going into this machine right now." He said as he waited for the results.
Ooc: Buying 56 goes to the machine for 28000 Poke. If the first ticket by some miracle gets filled up I will start on a second one.

As each figurine popped out Marchbaby grew more anxious as he knew it would leave him with one less chance to win. As his remaining plays shrank to almost zero he suddenly started to jump for joy as he got the final figirine he needed. " Yes that is it, we have done it. We won a Phanpy oh boy what a relief. This prize sure took a toll on my wallet but Phanpy are really rare except near Blackthorn and we are quite a long trip away so this price is totally worth it." As he walked up to the nearby counter to claim his prize his excitement was overwhelming. Upon handing in his ticket he was given the chouce between two Pokemon but he had already made up his mind well beforehand. " I will take that adorable little Phanpy over there. She looks like quite a strong young one. It has been quite a long time since I have seen a Donphan and now I will have a chance to raise one of my own. She costed me a pretty penny but if she is as strong as she looks she will prove to be a very worthy investment. First a Seviper and now a Phanpy, what else will this city gift us during our stay? I am sure we will find out soon enough. We just need to give you a nickname and then we will be all set. I am thinking Victoria as you look quite strong and I bet in a battle against similar sized foes victory would be yours. With that decided let's leave for now. We will be back later to try and win a Teddiursa." He said as he left with his new Pokemon. Ooc: Stopping for now but I will be back once I save up more. I would like Victoria to go to March's pc please. PhanpyName: Victoria Gender: Female Level: 10 Moves: Ice Shard, Defence Curl, Flail, Take Down Ability: Pick Up Nature/Personality: A strong willed yet kindhearted Phanpy. She was captured at a young age and offered as a prize in the vending machines in Goldenrod. She has a passion for battling but her soft side prevents her from attacking Pokemon who have no fair chance against her. When she is angered however she is known to attack anything regardless of their size and strength. Outside of battling she loves to sunbathe on warm days and cuddle with Marchbaby on colder ones.
