REQUESTED REWARD: No specific requests - surprise us!
JUSTIFY THE REWARD: Doppio is not the most skilled battler, but he does like to think he's a little better at crime than most people here. ... It isn't a high bar, and he'll acknowledge this himself, but hey. Anyway, the point is - when the Stamp Rally is announced, he figures he's better off putting his actual skills to use, rather than even entertaining the pretense of legitimacy. Even if he doesn't engage in direct combat, however - and he knows he shouldn't; any member of the Aurora League is bound to defeat him in a Pokémon battle - it's still not a great idea to try and rob a gym all by his lonesome, let alone during an event.
Unfortunately, the only otherworlder Rocket in the vicinity of his target, the Lunar Gym, is Min-Gi. That's okay, they'll make it work.
Initially, Doppio had his sights set on the Shell Bells that the gym offers as a prize to successful challengers - it's a useful item in battle, which sounds like just the right thing to keep buttering up the higher ranks of Team Rocket - but unfortunately, the mere fact that it's a reward reserved for the best of the best makes it more inaccessible than the regular rally prizes. Or even, say... the many, many eggs lying around. So why not go for those instead? With so many of them, and taking into account Cecil's prowess as a trainer, they're bound to have something good.
Since they're trying to play it safe, their approach is a stealthy one, taking advantage of the gym's gardens to avoid detection by the Pokémon on guard duty or other people. And it's not as if they have to go too far inside - these eggs really are all over the place. In the end, the two of them make off with a total of five eggs:
- a Cleffa that turns out to have a truly terrifying moveset (After You, Charm, Curse, Double-Edge, Draining Kiss, Encore, Fire Blast, Flamethrower, Incinerate, Magical Leaf, Metronome, Play Rough, Pound, Psychic, Return, Rollout, Round, Safeguard, Seismic Toss, Signal Beam, Solar Beam, Sweet Kiss, Water Pulse, Wish) - another Cleffa (Captivate, Natural Gift, Return, Round, Solar Beam, Splash) - a Budew, also scary (Captivate, Energy Ball, Flash, Rain Dance, Return, Round, Shadow Ball, Solar Beam, Sunny Day, Swift, Weather Ball) - Two perfectly normal Caterpie (Bug Bite, String Shot). They're two of the three eggs Doppio grabs, because that's just how his luck works.
