Rocket Missions V.2
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) Vinegar Doppio (epitaffio) Min-Gi Park (outofsynth) 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:
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:
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!
because sometimes you just have to menace a guy trying to hone in on your turf
Luckily, word came in at the base of some upstart named Roger who’d had the audacity to open up an unaffiliated, non-franchise “Game Center” just outside of Blackthorn City--and Steven had found the perfect thing to take out his general pissiness on. He got permission from the admins to deliver this upstart a lesson from Team Rocket on staying off their turf, then recruited Risotto Nero as his partner for the mission, mostly because his prior conversation with the man had made him suspect he’d make for exactly the right person to partner with for terrorizing someone who’d crossed Team Rocket.
After taking a couple days to perform reconnaissance on the ersatz Game Center while in street clothes and figuring out the daily route of our upstart Roger, Steven has his Xatu abduct the fellow on his way home by the simple expediency of Teleporting in, grabbing onto Roger’s shoulders, and teleporting out. He then has Tyler’s old Hypno (which he’s brought with him) to use Hypnosis to send Roger to sleep.
While Roger awakens, he’ll find himself in an out of the way corner of a very dark cave, rooted in place thanks to Steven’s Klefki locking his movements--at which point Steven and Risotto use a combination of pokemon moves and their own intimate knowledge of being scary motherfuckers back home in order to make Roger piss himself in terror. Xatu’s Night Shade summoning terrifying illusions, the tingling paralysis of Gastly’s Lick… and of course there’s Steven lovingly describing all the different ways he knows how to kill a man with his bare hands, while Risotto sneaks up behind Roger like a creep, saying a lot of cryptic dramatic bullshit detailing all the ways they can hurt him very badly with Pokemon powers if he persists on trying trying to fuck around on Team Rocket’s turf.
Eventually Roger passes out again--helped along via Hypno’s Hypnosis--and while under that Hypnosis, Steven has Hypno use Dream Eater to remove his and Nero’s distinguishing characteristics from Roger’s memory--though not that they were Rockets. Risotto’s Spinnerak then uses his webbing to securely bind the upstart. At this point they return to the outside of the Ersatz Game Center, which at this time of night is only watched over by a single security guard. Risotto then uses the bound body of Roger to lure the security guard out, leading them on a merry chase through the countryside with the help of Xatu and his Teleports as Steven uses the key they took from Roger’s body to enter the Ersatz Game Center, grab whatever money is in the safe with the help of Klefki and his own Rotom to unlock it, snatch up whatever pokemon and item prizes remain inside the building, and then get the fuck out and away from the building so Tyler’s old Forretress (which Steven also brought) can Explode a nice hole or two into the ersatz casino and its ersatz gambling machines.
The sound of which is the cue for Risotto to drop Roger, Xatu to Teleport Risotto back to Steven, and then both of them to abscond via Steven’s Golurk, which is large enough to carry two passengers. Said Golurk finds a quiet place after an hour or two of flying to let them down so they can change out of their Rocket uniforms and into normal street clothing. After that, Golurk flies them onto Mahogany (if Risotto has the Ecruteak warp) or Ecruteak (if he doesn’t) and they warp the rest of the way home, where they provide proof of their successful intimidation to the admins.
Nobody steps on Team Rocket’s turf and gets away with it.
no subject
Steven just gets the pay that would have gone to the usual guys (whoops?) but Risotto, however, gets a level 15 Cufant. You don't see many of those around Goldenrod!
