CURRENT RANK: Steven is still a Beta. Doppio’s still a Private.
REQUESTED REWARD:It’s Steven and Doppio. They’re always trying to rank up. Steven’s up for anything, but a battle item would be nice. Meanwhile, Doppio would love a powerful Pokemon.
JUSTIFY THE REWARD: Ah, summer. Now that June is in full swing, that means that everyone’s out enjoying their summer vacations in the usual summer haunts. For some, that means the seaside. For others? Camping out by the Lake of Rage.
Steven, knowing his current boyfriend’s inexplicable love of camping, has been idly thinking of taking him to the Lake of Rage for the one year anniversary of the day they met… but he’d really rather stay in one of quaint little cabins instead of sleeping in a tent or under the stars, as is Thace’s preference. It’s really too bad, Steven thinks, that he doesn’t have a better argument than his own personal preference for getting a cabin, but it’s not like Ragey just comes out of the water to rampage through campers’ tents…
And then Steven got an idea. Steven got a wonderful, awful idea. One that would delightfully scare the shit out of so many people. Steven misses scaring the shit out of people. And better yet? He could do it on behalf of Team Rocket. Honestly, if Steven was going to get the help of someone with a Gyarados (for verisimilitude!) he’d need to do this as a real heist, not just as terrorizing people for selfish purposes.
Luckily, he knows just who to ask for help: Vinegar Doppio.
The plan is fairly classic in its simplicity. Doppio and Steven head to the Lake of Rage and scout out the various campsites surrounding it, plotting which ones will be best to loot. Then, Doppio sends out his Gyarados to rampage through the campsites, chasing the campers off, while Steven’s Zoroark and his Chatot work together to make sound and visual illusions to make there seem like there’s one or more other Gyarados(es?) still rampaging while Steven goes in to loot the now defenseless campsites. The two of them will keep in communication via discreet earpieces to coordinate the ‘rampage’ to further decrease the odds of getting caught.
They’re not going to leave calling cards or wear their Rocket uniforms for this one, by the way, even if Steven does wear his gas mask to hide his face during the looting. Sometimes you need to do a subtle crime to remind the admins you know how to be subtle and also, it would defeat Steven’s purposes if it were obvious this was a Rocket operation. (But he might quickly fire off a little news brief in his capacity as Rocket propagandist about the Shocking Gyarados Rampage anyway.)
i swear this has nothing to do with steven watching the pokeverse equivalent of godzilla sp
