Rocket Name: Emet-Selch Rocket Rank: Private Requested Reward: Either a rank up, or perhaps a useful reusable TM? I'm not saying volt switch, but I'm also not not saying volt switch.
Plot interactions: While the initial planning had little to do with Emet personally, he definitely rose to the occasion once it kicked off. Taking the place of one of the Santas initially, he let loose his Yamasks, cofagrigus, and Zoroark to stealthily pilfer TMs, cash, and anything valuable they could get their mitts on. However, when the commotion with the actual Santa showing up to oppose them, Emet kept to opposing the little would be heroes.
With his two Rotom powered magitek bits, he took advantage of the fighting, netting up released Pokémon and carrying them off towards Team Rocket drop points to be ushered away from the scene and back to headquarters. He also scared the hell outta Akane and drew her away from the fighting for a little while. He likewise defused situations, assisting grunts who otherwise couldn't handle the ruckus, or rambunctious children...apparently.
His primary aim was to offer support during the whole confrontation by taking out Pokémon either through combat, or literally removing them from the fight by capturing them in true Anime Team Rocket fashion (though with much more competence). Or a mix of both! After all, it's a lot easier to transport stolen pokémon when they're in no condition to resist! All the while donning a dramatic villain persona, which could very well help demoralize the good guys, when he's so unshaken in his confidence, and backing it up with his gaggle of ghost Pokémon.
Unfortunately a lot of this has to be handwaved, but between the ghosts thieving the market, and Emet capturing Pokémon on the scene, and likewise fighting off some of the resistance so that others can make off with their own misbegotten goods... he's made a pretty decent contribution to the heist!
