Jules Thibault
  • CURRENT RANK: Grunt
  • REQUESTED REWARD: Possibly an Up-Grade for his Porygon? Or possibly some other interesting and useful Pokemon; he's not picky.
  • JUSTIFY THE REWARD: So since I had to make myself scarce from the face of the internet for a couple of months because I got slammed with hurricanes, I've been trying to figure out what Jules would have been doing with himself over about two months! And it is hacking. And tinkering. Lots of hacking and tinkering. He's caught himself a Rotom and between that and the Porygon he started out with, he's been specially training them in all sorts of methods of digital larceny. He's put a lot of time, thought, and inscrutable computer code into his latest project--inserting malware into the computer systems at the Celadon Department Store. He's found a cash register on the network that's in need of an upgrade and never gotten one (think of it as running the Pokeverse equivalent of Windows XP), and he's used this weak link to get his Porygon into the back door. The Rotom is there for backup and to create a distraction in the system should someone start probing at the data Porygon is sending to Jules. (It's hard to probe at a possible security breach if, say, the sprinklers start going off or security cameras start showing footage of shoplifting in progress...only the shoplifters were never really there.) He's intending to have Rotom and Porygon delete all traces of their presence from the system if possible.

    He's not running the operation indefinitely; it took him three weeks of setup and he's shooting for two weeks of quiet data harvesting before getting out. He's mostly just trying to skim credit and debit card numbers, and if he can redirect a few electronic bill payments into a Rocket account, so much the better. While he's in Celadon letting his Pokemon do most of the quiet work, he'll also probe around at the cybersecurity of the Celadon City Pokemon Center, and if possible, he'll launch a quick ransomware attack on that. Why? Because he can, and because the ransom's a quick cash grab.
