Oh, I like this. I like this quite a lot. Shame I wasn't fast enough to get in with any of these groups quite yet, but that's not really a problem.

What's funny is, I was going to ask you eventually if Zapdos was actually one of the legendaries in the Regime's possession, because I intended for Dr. Jenner to have written a paper about the subject. He's actually going to find this development [i]hilarious,[/i] since the subject of that paper was essentially going to be how, even if the yield of electricity was incredible and the "plant" was relatively space-efficient, using Zapdos as a source of energy could never be as reliable as a proper power grid, nor produce as much electricity as a sufficiently large number of other, less individually dangerous electric type Pokemon (or, you know, regular turbines).

Nice tie-in with Natsu's NPC, too. I'm glad I got in on this.

Edit: If you would like my character to have knowledge of a suitable HQ with proper facilities (ie: power, water, a means of broadcasting communications with the outside world), I would be delighted to work something out with you. It would, if nothing else, be the sort of thing he would consider given that he's been planning to become a serious problem for the Regime for several months now.
