Rocket Missions V.2

[indigo_league]

Welcome, valued Team Rocket member! Pursuing a career in the greatest organization of all time, eh? Well, you're in the right place!

This is the hub where you will find information on all team Missions. As stated in the Code of Conduct, all Rocket agents must be available to accept at least one mission at all times. They won't all be glamorous or exciting, but even mopping floors in one of the bases can lead to greater things! Team Rocket offers work in a variety of fields, with the primary openings being in four specific categories: maintenance, field work, science, and of course, the goal of most aspiring agents, leadership.

Maintenance: Brand new agents will likely be handed these jobs before anything else, as they're the easiest and least likely to result in police attention if you screw them up! They can include things like janitorial and laundry work in the bases, or serving fellow agents in the cafeteria.

Field Work: The most common missions take place in the field! Theft (whether it's as small as shoplifting some Potions or as big as participating in a full-scale heist) falls into this category, as does the simplest available mission, Pokemon acquisition. Anything you do to benefit the team outside of official Rocket premises can be considered field work!

Science: Science mission work mostly takes place out of the public eye, in official Rocket laboratories. The perfect field for more technically-minded agents, these jobs can include anything from pioneering new technology to experimentation on Pokemon themselves. Or it can be as dull as data entry. Grab a lab coat and see what you get!

Leadership: Getting sick of sharing those dorms? How does a private helicopter sound? Agents with lofty aspirations and a good work ethic may advance through the ranks and claim authority for themselves, earning swanky privileges, and more underlings to boss around than you can shake a stick at. This isn't to say that higher status doesn't come with its own responsibilities-- "Privates" and "Betas" are still expected to accomplish other missions (though usually not the maintenance ones-- that's grunt work), and even "Alphas" will usually work in the field. 'Leadership' jobs can even include tasks that just happen to require both specialized skills and a certain amount of trustworthiness to the Team. The main difference is tackling missions from an organizational, independent-thinking standpoint rather than just following orders-- YOU'RE the boss now!! Go put the fear of Arceus in some new recruits!

Rockets on Duty

NOTE: Team Rocket members who have not requested a specific mission (either listed or individual) will be considered on Pokemon-collecting duty and will not appear on this list.

CARLY NAGISA (Retired character)

STATION: Two Island

JOB: Intelligence Gathering, Base Establishment

NOTES: After successfully mapping the Whirl Islands, Team Rocket was more than happy to approve of Carly's requested reassignment to the Sevii Islands. After their first failed attempt at establishing a presence on the islands, Carly's reassignment will hopefully be laying the foundations for new Rocket base in this part of the region.

Vinegar Doppio (epitaffio)

STATION: In the field

JOB: Infiltration / information gathering.

NOTES:Though broadly speaking a group of enthusiastic nutjobs, the Legendary Seekers are still Johto and Kanto's prime hotspot for information on Legendary pokemon. Sure, 95% of it might just be blurry pictures and bull, but it is that 5% Team Rocket is after. Doppio has been assigned to infiltrate the group as a regular member and keep his ear to the ground regarding any rumours about Legendary Pokemon locations, sighting or items related to them. Of course, he will be expected to only report on actual viable leads, and not every blurry picture of someone's Ursaring walking through the forest.

Min-Gi Park (outofsynth)

STATION: Vermilion City

JOB: Squirtle Supervisor

NOTES: There are a very small gang of Squirtles in Vermilion City that Min-Gi's trained up to recruit for Team Rocket within the city and the surrounding routes. For the moment recruitment's all they're doing, but maybe one day there will be more to this. There might also be a minor rivalry between the criminally inclined Squirtles doing it for themselves, and the ones with ties to the Rockets.

REQUESTING A MISSION:

"Hard" missions will only be given upon demand, as they may come with specific instructions and usually require at least a "Beta" rank. On the other hand, "Regular" and "Easy" missions can be picked up anytime by any team members that meet the requirements, if there are any.

Individual, personalized missions (player-determined) can also be requested at any time, and may vary beyond just the 'official' locations above-- the listed missions are guidelines, not restrictions! Get creative-- you may find yourself rewarded handsomely!

Comment here to claim a mission by filling out the form below:

<textarea><big><img src="http://indigo-league.dreamwidth.org/file/101948.png" alt="" /> <u><b>CHARACTER NAME HERE (<user name="USERNAME">)</b></u></big> <dd><li><b>STATION:</b>Write your character's job location here. If they will be working while they are traveling, just write "In the field". <li><b>JOB:</b> List or describe your character's desired job(s). If you want them to be assigned a mission by us instead of choosing one yourself, say so here! <li><b>NOTES:</b> If there's any extra details you'd like us and/or the game at large to know about what your character is doing, include them here!</dd>


REQUESTING A REWARD:

Let no one say that working for Team Rocket is thankless-- those who prove themselves worthy may request all manner of exciting rewards!

Maybe they've been distinguishing themselves by taking charge and deserve to move upward in the ranks, or maybe they pulled off a heist so impressive that Auntie Apricorn wants to give them a rare item from the Rocket vault! The greater the achievements, the better the loot!

Team Rocket has access to many resources and can even, depending on the request, offer rewards that aren't available via other means...

Comment here to request a reward by filling out the form below:

<big><b>CHARACTER NAME HERE</b></big> <dd><li><b>CURRENT RANK:</b> List your character's current rank in Team Rocket. (All characters enter Team Rocket at the rank of "Grunt"). <li><b>REQUESTED REWARD:</b> Note the desired reward for your character's efforts (an item? a Pokemon? special privileges? a hearty clap on the back from Uncle Haban?). If the request is a change in rank, list the rank you'd like your character to upgrade to. <li><b>JUSTIFY THE REWARD:</b> Briefly describe what your character has been doing to earn the requested reward here. Ideally this should involve going above and beyond the basic grunt-work that's already expected of them. Have fun and get creative!</dd>

NOTE: The mods may deny a reward if it's unfeasible or if the character's accomplishments don't match the value of the reward (ie, spraypainting a totally sick burn on the side of the Cerulean City Police Department might get you some brownie points with the admins, but they're not gonna give you a shiny Pokemon for it.) If this happens, we will be happy to offer alternative rewards or suggestions of what it would take to earn the desired reward!

Vinegar Doppio & Min-Gi Park

CURRENT RANK: Beta & Grunt, respectively

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.

[indigo_league]

The Rocket Admins are decently pleased to receive a batch of eggs. True, Cleffa and Budew aren't necessarily the kind of pokemon they look for, for their recruits, but with as many moves as they have, they can still make a pretty poke-dollar selling them on. The Caterpies... are also there.

As a reward, Min-Gi and Doppio both receive a small monetary bonus, a good mark on their records and an egg. It's the Caterpies. They both will receive one of the Caterpies they stole. Get Butterfreed, recruits!
