Hello and welcome to the Ask Team Rocket part of the website! (: Those of you that have been Rocket fans for ages may recall past Ask Team Rocket websites. Here, for your pleasure, is the most recent installment! Since this is a Cassidy and Butch website, you'll be asking questions to Cassidy and Butch! Savvy?
If you would like to ask Cassidy or Butch a question, please send them an e-mail at NeoTeamRocket@hotmail.com. The two of them share an e-mail address for this purpose. If you are asking a question to Cassidy, please title your e-mail 'A Question For Cassidy." Likewise, if you are asking Butch a question, please make your subject line 'A Question For Butch.' If you have a question for both of them, or more than one question for the both of them, title your e-mail 'A Question For Cassidy and Butch.' Easy enough, yes?
Please take care to ask sensible questions. (: Cassidy and Butch will answer most anything, but questions like, "Hey Butch! Why's your voice so messed up?" are frowned upon. ): How would you like it if somebody pointed out a fault of yours like that? Remember, Cassidy and Butch are people too! u_u
I think that covers everything! On with the show!
Q:1.) Well, I saw the most recent episode with you two. Jessie and James were way out of line! You managed to succeed in stealing all those Pokemon, but they had to go dig those traps and steal the Pokemon which you stole yourselves. I mean, you could have both been paralyzed by that big fall (the helicopter trap)! Some people claim it's like in "Pikachu Revolts" when you set their own Pokemon against them, but those people are wrong. Your actions were justified because they tried to steal all your Pokemon. This was just Jessie and James being mean to you guys. In fact, I have an idea. Why don't you two tell the boss that you failed because of their interference? Then you can watch him yelling at them for about half an hour! Hopefully he'll punish them with something big, like slashing all their pay for a month!
A: Wait! You mean it was Jessie and James who dug that hole??????? ARRRGGHH!!!!!! I should have KNOWN it was them! I mean, they did such a horrible job of it... even though we fell. I can't BELIEVE we actually fell into one of their pitfall tricks!!! That is so...... so....... stupid-kid-trainer-like!
But ha! Yeah right. The boss keeps trying to get rid of them, and he cut their pay more times than they can count (which isn't very much, apparently... haha), and yet they STILL manage to come back into Team Rocket. I don't know HOW they do it.. but they DO!
... But that Jessie..... Mrrr..... The next time I see that girl, I swear I-
Whoah, Cass. No more caffeine for you...
Anyway, I had a sneakin' suspicion it might be them. Damnit, y'know, an INTELLIGENT person would try n' better themselves when faced with a rival team better than them. Not those two idiots. Always tryin' to bring us down to their level of failure... Nothin' sucks worse than being duped by your own teammates.
As for why they're still around- I have a theory on this. The boss is a hardworkin' man, yeah? And just like every other evil tyrant, he keeps a percentage of Team Rocket's cash to himself. I honestly think the man pisses that cash away on the two of em. Call it an 'entertainment fund,' if ya will. Yeah, that's right- I think they're a big joke. The boss just keeps em hired to give himself a laugh. I figure one day he just said "Y'know? Screw it; if I got mad at em everytime they messed up, I'd never be happy again." Yeah, sounds crazy, but I never said he was right in his head...
Damn straight the guy's not right in the head!!
... and if we are fired and/or killed in the near future, we will know never to post our opinions publicly ever again...
... Which is why I have more respect for Master Giovanni than I do for anybody else in the universe!!!!! /sarcasm_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Q: 2.) (pants for a few minutes) Okay- now I've got all that off my chest, I have another question. What do you think of the twerps? It seems like they just want to keep showing up and ruining your plans. They act like you're dumb, but that's just wrong! You guys are a lot smarter than the twerps! Why do they always have to win, anyway? In fact, a friend of mine has a scientific explanation of Ash:
"I have determined that Ash is a "Stupidis twerpicus." They are extremely rare, and it is believed that Ash is the last one. They are also extremely stupid, and compensate for this by having lots of dumb luck. Their actions, however destructive, are viewed as "heroic" by the general public. The main distinguishing characteristics of the Stupidus twerpicus are as follows:
*Clueless expression
*Asks dumb questions repeatedly
*Referred to as a hero by everyone
*Wins nearly all battles against all odds with a single attack
*Has a huge amount of dumb luck."
I think it is safe to say that Ash qualifies as a "Stupidus twerpicus." He shows all the classic symptoms. What do you think?A:Ah God, those stupid kids? They're inbred freaks, I tell ya! Theres two of those Pikachu kids wanderin' around different parts a' the map- completely different kids, but I swear you wouldn't be able to tell it. Somehow we always end up meetin' up with one or the other. I think they come from a box or somethin'- all from the same mold. Like, you know how cereal companies put prizes in the cereal? I think it's that sorta thing- a LAME ASS prize, but that system, nonetheless (then again, when were they able to ever fit anything worth a crap in a box with cereal?). Makes you think twice about puttin' yer hand down a cereal box, don't it? That's precisely why I am NOT a cereal man.
*blinks* Uh.. okay, Butch.
Anyway... Yeah. Those kids with the Pikachu are certainly... very stupid. And very twerpy. I don't understand how they can take us out with a single move, either! I mean.. we've been training pokemon much longer than they have! ... You know, I feel incredibly old now that I said that?
Er... anyway, I do think your friend is on to something with that "Stupidus Twerpicus" idea.
I suppose the only cure would be if we stole all of their precious pokemon away from them?
..... But then I'd be just as incredibly lame as that Jessie.......
... So what does your friend say about us, eh? Are we of the "Ruggedus Villainus?" persuasion? Perhaps "Sexius Beasticus?" Hahaaah._ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Q: In two episodes- one in Season 5 and one in Season 7- two "scientists" appear to try to steal Pokemon. They claim to make up a group called the Pokemon Mystery Club, or PMC for short. They are after Pokemon from outer space. It's one guy and one girl. Their names are Ken and Mary. They have been thwarted twice- ironically, the people behind this are your rivals more than the twerps. They seem to have a personal vendetta against Team Rocket. They view the entire organization as "weird", and want to bring it down. They take pride in showing off huge, expensive machines and vehicles that nobody else can afford. Ken and Mary are also rather dumb- they once mistook Lombre for a Space Pokemon! Later, they interrogated the twerps as to where they were going. Ash and co. were going to a mountain to revive Lunatone, but Ash said they were doing a "Moon Party" and the PMC fell for it! To top it off, the PMC make fun of your motto. Their motto is:
Ken: To seek the truth that sets us free...
Mary: To solve another mystery...
Ken: Accept no other sub.
Both: P-M-C! We're the Pokemon Mystery Club!
The PMC are extremely careless, and even throw away their protective gear, which contributed to their defeat on one occasion. But there is one very horrible aspect of the matter- one that I view as unforgivable. When they first appeared, Ken and Mary were slated to REPLACE you two! Had this succeeded, you would have never been seen again! Let's just say it's very wise that the writers decided not to do that- they would certainly have heard from me! (I know you're going to ask what planet I'm from. In my world, people think that you aren't real people. They think you're just characters in a television series.)
Now, I view Ken and Mary as jerks. They're the weird ones! They are so hopelessly incompetent, they have not yet managed to catch a single Pokemon! Once, they DID almost catch a Snorlax, but they did not, as it promptly turned around and squashed them. (I cheered at this scene.) I'd like to see Ken go up to you and call you "weirdos." He'd find himself staring right at two of your Pokemon! Have you heard of the PMC? What do you think of them?
(By the way, I'm sorry these questions are so long. I occassionally embark on compulsive rants which vent a lot of feeling and take up even more space. None of my future questions will be this long... at least, I don't think so.) Sayonara!
-Brendan
A:... What..? Are you saying that people are writing our every move????
... I suddenly feel very.... o.o; un-alive...
Is THAT why we're surrounded by idiots? Well I tell ya, things are at least starting to make sense now! Someone needs ta get some coffee to these so-called 'writers,' because things're startin' to get monotonous over here. And what is with us failin' all the time, eh?! I'd like to speak to the PRODUCER over that one!
... okay, so I officially have no idea what the hell I'm talkin' about. But anyway, another team, you say? Gosh there have been an abundance of wannabes lately. None as good as the original. There's no duplicating Cassidy and Butch, I tell ya. At least WE have a purpose. The hell's with this other team you're talking about? You say they're the Pokemon Mystery club, but NONE of what you described sounds anything LIKE a successful mystery solving team (or a science team, for that matter). I mean, can ya even imagine? Showin' up with a huge machine on scene? "Yeah, we're here to investigate a crime. We'll just fade into the background now... *VRRROOOOOOOOOOM*"
I swear the resta the people inhabitin' this universe only have about a brain between em all...
What happened to the good old days when criminals like us were to be feared? At least we were trained right! We don't have to be the ones to be laughed at.... *ahem*...
Damn straight!_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Q: Butch, why do you get so mad when people mess your name up?
-Anonymous
A: Why do I get mad? Would YOU get mad? I mean, a name is a name is a name! That's how you're identified- it's who you are; the first THOUGHT that enters a person's mind when their thoughts drift to you! How would you feel if the one piece of information yer supposed'ta remember FIRST about a person was always lost when anyone laid eyes on you?
And it's not like my name is even HARD, either. It's one syllable. ONE. Hell, I have to add extra words to the part of the motto that I say my name in so that our background music will finish on time! And whose name do they remember? Cassidy's. I don't get it. I'm not THAT forgettable, am I? I mean, yeah, I pride myself for bein' so sneaky and undetectable, and maybe I don't talk as much as she does, but really! You remember the name of the weird, silent kid that sits in the back of class the entire school year and secretly plots everyone's death- why can't ya remember mine?!_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Q: Butch and Cassidy-
1.) How did you catch your various Pokemon?A: Well, let's start with Raticate! Raticate was the pokemon who was given to us when Butch and I were partnered in Team Rocket. It's been with us ever since.
As for my other Pokemon, of course I caught them myself. Ar.. well.. maybe I should say that Sableye caught me, haha. It followed me, and it wouldn't leave me alone, so what did I do? I threw a pokeball at it. Duh.
As for me, I caught Primeape and Mightyena pretty easy, but I stole Hitmontop off of an unsuspecting kid during the fortune telling book fiasco. It was an easy enough swipe. The thing hated me at first, but I think its warmed up to me at last. Oh, and Cass’s Tentacruel, as well as my Cloyster were lent to us by the team to capture Moltres. Which… never happened. Damn unreliable goodie-good trainers...2.) What was the assignment that got you promoted to Class A?
Well OBVIOUSLY we were good enough to begin with! Aha... after Butch and I were accepted, we quickly climbed our way out of the rookie level the only way possible. We caught a pokemon that the boss wanted without getting caught. Simple as pie. We're not the ones running around for YEARS trying to capture one stupid little Pikachu...
Though, t'be fair, we can't quite seem to capture it either...
u____u; That's enough from you...
I knew I was gonna regret answering any part of this question. :P3.) Can you give an example of one of your successful missions, or a mission you particularly enjoyed?
-Brendan
Oh wow, haha, I know just how t'answer this one. Keep it on the down low, though. It was a rather recent mission, you see. We had come back with nothin' but success to boast... We grabbed our pay and headed down to the bar in the lounge for a few drinks. ... Well, more than a few drinks, if ya catch my drift-
Woah woah WOAH! He asked about the MISSION! Not the celebration afterward...
Ah fine. You tell the story, then. You're so good at it. :P
Alright, I will! We raided a gym and got some great pokemon for Dr. Nanba. He was so happy about our success.. he gave us a raise!
That was the best night of my life. ^_^
Uh.. right. Raises are always good. More money means happier agents! Isn't that right?
Haha, you would know! -er, I mean. Yes. Yes it is._ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Q: Hey Butch :o I think you're absolutely adorable! My sister and I watch you on dvd all the time! :D We have all your episodes and stuff recorded off the tv and we can't stop watching you! :D Oh yeah what do you think about kokoshipping? That's like James/Butch slash. It's yummy! Anyway gotta run! Cyas! Oh by the way can I kiss you? :D You're so cute!
-Lea
A: What? Watching me? Am I being followed? ... Wow, that's not frightening and/or stalker-like at allll. Cassidy, if you're reading this, we're definitely locking the top lock on our room from now on!
Anyway, ko..ko..shippin- ohhh.
... OHHH. Ew. Who in the hell came up with that? Point me in their direction so that I can beat em within an incha their life! *huff* Anyway, as for chances of this ever happening? Don't count on it. Iunno about James, but I am definitely NOT gay. ...And that dress in the back of my closet was for a MISSION, so don't even think of bringing that up, my dear stalker! Unless... of course... you've never searched my closet... *headdesk* In which case, you should just know that I did not enjoy it, and that Cassidy made me. Definitely her evil doing. Ugh, I can still hear her laughin' at me. Thanks for dreggin' up THOSE memories.
And if you think yer gettin' a kiss after inadvertantly forcing me to bring THAT up, then you really are crazy! ... but thanks for the flattery just the same, heh. Ya got me blushin'._ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Q: hi butch! i love you in all your episodes! your ice cream sundae joke with cassidy cracks me up lol.
'we'd like an everything sundae - with extra everything.'
awwwww bless you. you're just such a big kid! *mega glomps you*
what's your favourite sundae apart from an extra everything sundae lol?
-Laura
A: Ah, hello! Er... yeah. Thank you for the appreciation. o_O I think. Haha...
My favorite sundae, though? Er... you know, I haven't really thought about it. On the rare occasion that Cass n' I have a chance to slow down enough for ice cream, though, she likes to dive into a pint of Mago-berries and cream. I once tried that with half a banana and some warm caramel sauce. Definitely worth trying sometime, if ya haven't already!_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Q: Hey Cassidy! I just want to say that I think you're really beautiful and really nice! *Hugs* I loved you in the Breeding Center Secret :D You were awesome!
How do you get your hair styled like that? :o It's huge and awesome! Or do the cartoonists just exaggerate the size so as to fit their style, like the Japanese people make anime characters with enormous eyes and stuff?
I think you're really lucky to have Butch! n_n He's so cute and funny and so much like a little puppydog!! =D *Pinches his sides* n_________n Eeee!!
-Emily
A:Cartoonists? Anime? What planet are you from?
Anyway, thanks. You're right. I *AM* the cute one, after all ^_~ Jessie wouldn't have a chance against me...
But, er, my hair! Yes, well.. that's just my hair. I LIKE to style it that way. Others are starting to steal my style, didn't you notice? Like... what about that blue-haired baseball brat? She doesn't do a very good job of it, though...
Er, how did I get mentioned in a question to Cassidy? … and ack, why are there people touching me?! Cassidy, tell your people to leave me alone! ): They’re making me nervous. o_O_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Q: Cassidy- how do you like to spend your time in between assignments in Team Rocket?
-Heather
A:Time in between assignments? Ha, well, that's a good question. What DO I do? I usually spend most of my time training for my next assignment. I train my pokemon with battles against Butch, and we train ourselves of course by working out in the gym. But I guess if I'm not training or on an assignment, I'm hanging out in the Rocket Lounge. It's a nice place to wind down after a long and tiring day.
Of course... teasing some of the Rocket Grunts is always fun, too._ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Q:Butch- What is your favorite kind of assignment to get? What are you best at doing?
-Holly
A:Hmm... that's a tough call. Spontaneous little assignments are fun because there's no strict schedule you're tryin' to follow, but I gotta say that my favorite kind of assignments are the ones that Cass and I are pros at- disguise assignments. The element of surprise is a beautiful thing, and it really don't get much more surprising than dressing up like a civilian, befriending a bunch of unsuspecting trainers, and then rippin' the ground out from underneath em at the last second. Just the thought of it is making me smirk!
As for my area of expertise... well, Cass'd probably say I'm best at carrying heavy things, but I know I'm good for a lot more than that. I'd say that I'm pretty good with things that require a lot of strength, yes. I'm also pretty level headed- Cass tends to kinda go off the deep end sometimes during the middle of assignments, and I'm usually pretty skilled at reeling her back in. And I just know that the second she reads this, I'm gonna have to go duck underneath a chair for admitting that in public. I think I'll go do that... now._ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Go back?
