REQUESTED REWARD: Ideally, a promotion to Private, but anything else is fine!
JUSTIFY THE REWARD: Doppio has independently (definitely independently, and not at his REAL Boss's command) come up with a small-scale heist he'll be carrying out at the Halloween party in Ecruteak. The plan goes as follows:
- Having arrived at Ecruteak on foot the previous day, Diavolo spends the very start of the celebrations, before too many people have arrived, putting together a rough map of the city's layout - most importantly, he has taken note of where people are likely to crowd together, and what back alleys are available in case an emergency hiding spot is needed. Also, he's already in costume, since it IS Halloween: he's a fairy godmother, clad in both a dress and a hood. How nice. - As more people start to gather and it becomes much easier to blend into a crowd, it's time for Doppio to take action. Wearing the same costume (of course it's the same costume! He bought it, after all), Doppio follows the route that makes the most sense to him upon analysing the map, slipping from activity to activity, with two main goals: stealing a handful of Pokémon from the people in attendance and taking at least one of the rewards from the costume contest. - He also ends up grabbing an Applin, but that was kind of an accident? He was just stopping behind that stall to make sure his stolen goods were safely secured under his dress and the next thing he knew an apple was staring at him and he kind of panicked. BUT YES, HE THEN... - Slips into the Pokémon Center to warp to Goldenrod City! - Delivers the goods! - Changes into a different costume (Heroic Italian Plumber!) and burns the one he was previously wearing! Does HQ have an incinerator? Does he have to politely ask to borrow someone's Slugma? Who knows. - Finally, he calls an UBIRD to take him back to Ecruteak so he can enjoy the festivities like any innocent, ambiguously young man on Halloween, hopefully avoiding suspicion.
Is this too much for a Halloween party? Maybe. But the Don of Passione tires of being treated like a common grunt, and his dear Doppio must show the Admins what he's capable of! Also feel free to let me know how much two separate Halloween costumes would have cost, I like to be rigorous about these details.
