[Being that she isn't the most social of butterflies, Agent Carolina hasn't been on the network in quite a while. More than that, though, she's been a bit busy, as she'll later reveal.

But for anyone who may remember how stoic and withdrawn her first few posts were, they may be surprised to see how open and bright she seems now, smiling gently at the camera as if she'd just been laughing at her stupid blood gulch boys.

Behind her stands her faithful sparring partner, her Pangoro ~~and spoiled child~~ Aggie.]

Hey, trainers. I've got something useful for you coming up.

Starting next week-- that's the eighth of July, for you-- you can now take self defense classes with myself, or, if you're younger, my partner North. If you're wondering who the hell I am and how the hell I can teach classes like this, I'm former freelancer Agent Carolina, top rated in mixed martial arts in... 'the future'.

[ahem.]

I'll be holding classes every day in Goldenrod except for Saturdays, and I'll train whoever's willing in mixed martial arts, and... maybe even teach you to fight with your pokémon.

[Behind her, Aggie gives a grunt of agreement before attempting to return to his cool-guy demeanour.]

North will teach anyone under 12 years old on Fridays, and I'll teach anyone over that. If you don't have money to pay for it, I'll accept clean-up work instead.

Now, I know some of you are still struggling with road closures and limited travel, so... if that's a problem, let me know, and we'll see what three Freelancers can't do to get you started.

Now that's what I call a good idea! It's about time there were some trainers for the trainers around here.

[That seems like a really specific thing to make a class for...]

Eh...do people have to defend themselves from themselves often, z-zura?

One should hope not, but being prepared for emergencies is never a poor idea.

[Sometimes things go literally worse than you could ever have planned for, though.]

[A short laugh, like the bark of a fox.]

Glad to hear you like it. You interested?

WHAT KIND ABSTRATUS IS MIXED MARTIAL ARTS?

[Well this whole thing sure does sound exciting. Hopefully Rakka doesn't look like she's twelve...]

Ah, when you say "fighting with your pokemon", do you mean...?

Not for myself, no. I think I've got that pretty much covered.

_{[He takes his turn to laugh. All Ralph needs to do is glare at any would-be muggers to put them in their place.]}

Still, it's a good thing you're doin'. Especially with Team Rocket out there. You know they don't play by the rules.

[This person certainly looks well-built enough - if a little thinner from the whole being stuck in a town without food thing.]

Agent? Are you some kind of superspy?

Okay, so, question--look I get that 'fight with your pokemon' means fight alongside them and work out and train together and look super awesome.

But, can you teach people how to suplex a wild pokemon for self-defense?

I could teach people to suplex a wild pokémon.

Not sure how well the lesson would work with you.

[who is this hungry teen with fancy hair?? a potential student, obviously.]

No, no. [she chuckles a little.]

Just... a soldier from a special forces division of the marines.

[sorta.]

Wwwwow, I'm not sure if that's, like...racist against robots or what.

Most robots I've met besides you are actually a bit more capable of heavy lifting, now that you mention it.

Well I mean, spoiler alert, I'm not a robot anymore, so while before I probably could've ripped someone's arm off with a handshake, I'm kinda not that anymore. Although it'd be fucking sweet if I could.

Aw, that would've been cooler.

Can't say I've really had formal training, though - I was already bigger than most people my age, so I'd win most fights anyway...

[It's not... technically a lie, even if other factors were involved.]

[Oh shit, in that case, Komasan has no idea what he'd do if he ran into an evil clone or something.]

M-MONGE!! I'm gonna need all those classes, zura!!

I don't think anyone would let you outside of a heavily guarded facility before they'd trust you with that kind of capacity.

[There had to be some limiting controls, or something.]

Do you know how many robot bodies I went through, some of which were made by the mad mechanic known as Sarge? [Okay, so he couldn't pick up Andy, and there was the whole 'let's put an explosive in that blue robot body' incident. But still!]

[Fluffy haired with a fluffy Swablu on her head, Ochako doesn't look very tough, but she seems pretty pumped about the idea - at least until she hears the location]

Oh, darnit! It might be a while before I can make it over there...

What do you mean by "Freelancers" though?

Impressive. Sarge model bodies, huh?

[can you hear her rolling her eyes]

You know, you can just ask to take classes.

[Hey, there's nothing wrong with being pretty. just makes people surprised when you FLIP THEM OVER YOUR SHOULDER and kick their butts. She'd be happy to teach this girl.]

Hey, classes will always be open. We'll go over the basics beforehand if you're really interested.

[. . .]

Freelancers were a special division of the space military. It's just a reference to our rank as soldiers.

I dunno, I thought these classes were for people. Sounds like I might not qualify.

...Okay, but like--say I do suplex a wild...pinecone, or whatever. I can still catch it, right? I just can't like...earn these gym badges. With my own fists. Cuz that'd be frowned upon.

Man this place is still kinda weird and backwards...

[Ashley's aware of Agent Carolina. She's...acquainted with York and North, that's who this person is. However, she hasn't really talked with her much. She seems scarier, more intimidating than the other two freelancers, but--

Well, she kind of jumps at this opportunity.]

Classes absolutely every day? Are you...flexible around work schedules?

... I've never... fought as a human before...

Don't worry. I'm plenty used to taking care of people who don't play by the rules.

[As if she's one to talk...]

Feel free to come by sometime anyway. Might pick up something new.

[Also once she sees him irl she absolutely is 100% going to want to get him to spar her--]
