    Pokeball! SAVE THE ELITE FOUR - ENLIST AS A POKEKID TODAY!!!
    With the rapidly increasing amount of Pokemon rights activists, the Pokemon League has decided to ban the use of Pokemon in battles and contests entirely. They are now looking for anyone willing to duct tape a chainsaw or knife to their hands or feet and be constantly sucked into tiny Pokeballs.

    This job has no specific requirements. One must simply wear a ridiculous getup and fight in coliseums for the entertainment of the general populace. Health insurance is included, though there are no guarantees that limbs can be reattached by Nurse Joy. If interested, please arrive on your specified day for team tryouts.

    And that was the last of the offers in our mailbox. All of these jobs sound like they have a lot of potential, and I would be eager to participate in any of them myself if I wasn’t allergic to Chocobos, loud noises, and angry Pikachu. Hopefully YOU can help!

      What if I don’t have a British accent… but make up for it by being able to swim underwater for unreasonable amounts of time?!?!

      XD great ads.

      Also, Overlord Industries is looking for minions right now…. Unfortunately i didn’t qualify because of their “Must be able to spawn from strange mounds in the ground.” requirement. And yah know… i thought it might of come in handy someday, but i took the “Mucking out Chocobos stalls” course instead. Silly me.

      A+
