I can't promise it won't come out. Frankly... maybe he should know. [sighing forever. life was suffer.]

Their treatment of Pokemon was what drew us away. I met Archie when he was assigned to help me on an assignment, we... well, we became friends. We both felt strongly about the abuse going on and ended up leaving rather unceremoniously when it clearly would continue.

After that... [he adjusts his glasses and considers again, long and hard.] I won't speak for Archie. Our ideological differences set us on different paths but we both wanted to incite change. Even if we left Team Rocket on bad terms the idea behind a team of Pokemon trainers isn't necessarily a bad one. Or so I thought.

It wasn't some instant decision, I started to gather people who shared my flawed vision and it naturally progressed to making a team.
