[Once upon a time (well, last year, but same thing, right?) Archer and Kimblee attacked the Kimono Girls in the Ecruteak Dance Theater.

Guess what? It's that time of year again! Except this time there's no Team Rocket attack, instead there's an army of tanks lined up on the outskirts of Ecruteak. Well, they're not exactly full-sized tanks. For some reason they're kind of tiny. Maybe Bradley didn't trust Archer with the full-sized tanks. Do you blame him?

Archer seems ridiculously pleased with himself anyway, as expected. He has his army back, and they're all alive! Somehow! He's learned not to question these things. For once Johto has done something right!]


Sir, are you sure this is a good idea?

[Archer turns to the man who asked, a rather generic Amestrian soldier, wearing the same uniform he is (minus the shoulder stripes and stars, of course). Archer merely smirks in response.]

Gentlemen, we're going to conquer this city in the name of Amestris.

[...Well, it'll really be in his name, but that's not the point! The soldier looks skeptical, but Archer's Bisharp, Queen, gives him a rather nasty look and he scampers off along with the others.]

Destroy anyone who stands in our way! This city will be ours!

[...Someone might want to stop him before he blows up all the landmarks...]

[ VIDEO / TEXT ]


[The video opens to two Team Rocket Grunts. They don't look particularly important, just two stereotypical Grunts wearing the usual uniforms and waiting in what appears to be National Park. It's dark, but the two are still visible. They don't seem to know that they're being filmed.]

Man, we need to pull this off. The boss won't be pleased if we don't. So where are the saps we're supposed to be stealing from?

No idea. He said they'd be here though--

[The second Grunt is cut off by the approach of several figures. Both Grunts reach for the Pokéballs on their belts. They relax almost immediately though; the figures are three NPC trainers who frequent National Park.]

Good, you're here. Alright, hand over your Pokémon! We're taking them in the name of Team Rocket!

[The trainers don't protest at all. They hand over their Pokémon without complaint. The second Rocket Grunt shifts back and forth on his feet, obviously nervous.]

This doesn't feel right. People don't normally hand their Pokémon over like this. And don't they look funny...?

Shut up. The boss said this would be an easy job. He was right!

I just don't like this...

[With the Pokéballs secured in the first Grunt's bag, the two are quick to flee the scene. The three NPC trainers turn and walk out of sight in unison. All is still for a few moments.

Then a pendulum drops in front of the camera and sways back and forth for a few seconds. To those who have raised a Hypno it might look familiar. It's followed by a text a minute later.]


you might be next

Private video to Team Rocket )

((OOC: Attack is mod approved! The Rocket Grunts are NPCs and are not being controlled, but the NPC trainers are being controlled by Archer's Psychic-type Pokémon! Replies will come from Alekhine, Archer's Alakazam who is behind the video! Archer will get away with this for the time being, but never fear, he'll be captured for messing with peoples' heads eventually!))

[A private text comes across the Rocket network late at night, accompanied by quite a few pictures. The pictures don't include any people or Pokémon, but it should be very obvious where they were taken, should you be familiar with the Gyms in Mahogany Town and Blackthorn City. Both Gyms seem to have been taken down by a variety of attacks. The trainers have been defeated as well, though they don't seem to be badly injured, just unconscious. Following the stream of pictures is a short text.]

I expected better of you, Rockets. You haven't put your powers to good use.

((OOC: Archer and Kimblee have attacked both the Mahogany Gym and the Blackthorn Gym. This is mod approved! They're long gone from both cities and won't be caught just yet. Archer will reply anonymously to any Rockets who reply to the message!))

[The video opens to two badge cases, each with all eight Johto Gym Badges arranged neatly. The camera turns to focus on Archer then; he's smirking even more than usual, if that's even possible.]

If I'm not mistaken, I believe the previous record for earning all the Gym Badges was eleven months?

[It's not really a question. He remembers exactly what Mustang said.]

Kimblee and I have done it in eight.

[He'll give you all a moment to absorb that knowledge. Yes, yes, they're amazing, he knows~]

We're both seeking challenges from others who have gathered the Gym Badges. We both have teams at level 100, though we also have lowered-leveled Pokémon, if you're interested in challenging either of us. We would be interested in double battling as well, if any of you are interested.

[...Well, he would, at least. Sorry, Kimblee, you have no choice~]

We look forward to it.

[OOC: This is a double post! You'll receive replies from either Kimblee or Archer!]

Private video to Team Rocket members )

[ VIDEO - 2 HOURS LATER ]


[After he's sent the eggs out to the members of Team Rocket, Archer opens the video feed back up again, panning slowly over the remaining eggs.]

I'm selling several Pokémon eggs. I'll send a list out shortly containing information on the species, egg moves, and prices. Thank you in advance.

[Sure enough, that same list will hit the network a few minutes later!]

Action for Route 34 )

[OOC: This is a double post somehow, so you'll get either Archer or Kimblee responding with information about the eggs! Any questions about the second set of eggs on that list up there will be fielded by Kimblee! The action part is entirely Archer, however! If you'd rather reply to the action, we can just handwave the transaction!]
