As mentioned above, Archer will be helping Malik out with the Psychic-type Pokémon plot! But I also have another thing to bring up:

ROCKET BREEDING CENTER!!! Archer is very interested in breeding ridiculous moves onto Pokémon, and his collection of Pokémon is... rather impressive. So what's the deal here? Archer is planning on opening a TOTALLY LEGIT breeding business sometime in the future, but in order for that to work, he's going to have to get really chummy with the rest of the Rockets.

So how does this work? Archer and Kimblee are working together to offer up a large selection of eggs! You can find Archer's Pokémon here and Kimblee's are here. Archer will breed all of his every month, but you'll have to pester Kimblee if you want his. Breeding information for Archer's Pokémon can be found here and Kimblee's is at the bottom here!

So Team Rocket members, if you're looking for Pokémon, come to them! Archer will breed crazy egg moves onto any Pokémon you want (as long as he has it/Kimblee has it/you have it/he has a means of getting it)! Interested in buying from the Breeding Center? DON'T BOTHER!!! He'll sell you eggs for cheaper! (Except he doesn't have the same variety whoops.) Interested in selling your Pokémon's eggs but have no idea how to do it? Give them to Archer; he'll sell them off and will give you your entire profit! (Any eggs he doesn't sell will go to Team Rocket unless you directly ask for them back.)

And new Rockets? You get an additional free egg! The breeding center offers one already, but Archer will let you have your pick of anything he has in stock! That's right, anything!

Archer won't let anyone borrow his Pokémon to breed them, but if you let him borrow yours, he'll breed them and give you the eggs. He's surprisingly good at it. (Though he will always keep at least one egg if he doesn't already have the Pokémon/it will learn crazy moves.)

TL;DR Team Rocket members come help him out; let him breed your Pokémon so he can gather even more terrifying things to add to his collection! I'm still working on that horrifyingly long list of things he can breed (twenty-nine at last count)! If you're not in Team Rocket, Archer will still sell the eggs to you! But Team Rocket comes first. Because he wants to suck up to everyone and get promotions. :|b

How is this a plot? Well. Running the breeding center out of business is totally a plot, right??? No, I'm kidding, he won't actually be able to do anything for a very long time. I'm just looking for interest when it comes to a rival breeding center specifically for Rockets!

EXCELLENT. If you're interested in snagging something, there's a massive list here of what she can take!

[determinator]

RYUUNOSUKE WILL WEAR YOUR SNAKE-THEMED UNIFORM, SIR!!!!!!!
AND CODENAMES ARE ALWAYS APPRECIATED BECAUSE THEY ARE FLAWLESS

Oh Kimblee... Just as long as you don't tell Isaac anything about that we'll be fine~

[determinator]

Oh yes; anyone who has seen Archer and Kimblee interact knows they're very close - it could easily be assumed that Archer would at least know about Kimblee's involvement in Team Rocket, if not actually be a member of the organization himself!

And if she taunted TR like that oh man would Archer go after her with the anonymous texts. Because EVERYTHING YOU CAN DO HE CAN DO SO MUCH BETTER TOTALLY!!!!!

I am so looking forward to anything involving these too, oh my god. 8D

[determinator]

OH GOD SCREAMING

HE WILL NEVER BE READY, COBRA

[extremelycute]

...

Is that Zorua taken yet?

[determinator]

Nope! 8Db

It's yours~

[extremelycute]

Things keep getting more hideous! This is v. good.

[cobraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

THEY ALSO GET UP AND WALK AROUND

But yeah, I'll definitely hit up any posts about this stuff. If Cobra's not going to learn from his mistakes, maybe someone else will.

[her_mouse_jesty]

since Flutters got two runners up already, I'll go with Minnie for this one. a brainwashed Minnie hurting her friends... that would be the worst possible thing for her. which is why I fully endorse it.

[thetruehistorian]

I think I'd prefer option 1, since I probably ought to focus on getting the house clean and packing and stuff like that before I go.

That said, an elongated stay in a TR facility would be a great reason for her to be awol from posting for a week and a half, too.

Since I'm not sure how Caster operates, mind giving me a quick rundown of his character?

[derpsaboutfamily]

He usually goes after children, but if this is Team Rocket telling him to, and they're okay'ing him doing whatever the hell he wants, he'll be alright with doing them a few favors.

Um, for the most part, he aims to kill. He likes the fear, and he does enjoy playing with his pray, like how he lead a little boy to believe that he was being set free and then at the last moment, killed him. So it's likely it'll be... track her down, play around a little while so she's fearful, but the end result is he's going to want to kill.

But by that time his Pokemon probably won't go past level 40... since he just arrived here. So how injured she ends up getting would depend on how high leveled her Pokemon are.

[derpsaboutfamily]

WELL, HE CAN'T EXACTLY INVITE YOU IF HE DOESN'T KNOW YOU EXIST?

I think Caster'll be in training the next two weeks. Which I'm assuming will be intense and they won't allow him to do much else. And then the moment he'll be released from training, it'll be 4th wall time (LOL what is my accidental timing...) which I'd be happy to plot with Ryuunosuke for stuff! But he won't remember any of it after 4th wall. Soooo. The moment 4th wall ends, he won't know Ryuunosuke is in Johto. And he'll want to go sacrifice children for Jeanne as soon as possible.

But I'd be happy to have him bump into Ryuunosuke mid-rampage~

[derpsaboutfamily]

Awesome! :D Let me know when the plot is up and ready to go~

[these_balls]

Ara here, just popping in to say that I am totally chill with either option you presented, Mei. You guys feel free to do your thang any way you like! o/

[doitrockapella]

Well, I can tell you right now that Archer is sort of on Carmen's radar anyway because of the discussion they had over the Meowth she bought — previously, every other time she's gotten an egg from someone, the dialogue has always been, "My key interest is in finding these dear creatures a good safe home," but with Archer it was "NO MAN LOOK HOW SWAG THIS CAT IS IT'S SO POWERFUL" and that made her go HMMM a little. Obviously that's nowhere even remotely near jumping to the conclusion that he's a Rocket, but he is a blip on her radar because of it, albeit a minor one. She also has the pictures of the Kimono Girls attack from off of Kimblee's Gear, but as yet she hasn't realized that the attack was caused by two people instead of just one.

So really, what she's got at the moment is a lot of potential pieces that will all abruptly fit together as soon as she gets The Big One, but she doesn't have the Big One yet and that's probably where the key to setting them off and running will come in. o/

OH MAN PASSIVE-AGGRESSIVE TEXT WAR GO?? I hope he sends her some after she steals Cobra's bigass snake throne. SO MAD.

[cobraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

Okay, let me try responding to this now that I'm awake and not looking for pictures of walking Moai statues or anything like that.

Odds of him saying anything about that are pretty low. I like to think he doesn't understand or care enough about anyone's relationships to really bother with saying anything like that. His main experiences in canon are ordering people to pretend to date someone and yelling at other people to stop making out and get back to work.

So yeah, nothing to worry about there.

[cobraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

You probably already know this, but I really really like the idea of having a separate Breeding Center/black market weapons supply thing for the Rockets. Especially since asking for some of those movesets over the public network would probably raise a few eyebrows.

[paladinlost]

Oh, he'll pester her alright. "Now, I hope you at least used it for practical items. You never know when this world decides to throw a storm at you. Did you think of buying extra potions for your Pokémon?"

[meatysoviet]

Minnie, you sweet little thing~ ♥

Ivan admittedly needs to see you at least once, since he's been assigned to follow you in Cobra's list of Doom™.

Admittedly, if he's able, he'd like to make good on that house visit- afterall, you look like you have a lovely home to plant bugging equipment in~

Would you be up for this (and most likely getting a bugged pokémon back in the process? Because I forgot he still has, like, 3 of your pokémon.)

[her_mouse_jesty]

I say yes to all of this! Sure, she still suspects him since he's a rocket and all, but she'd never guess he bugged the place... mostly because such technology doesn't exist in her world. do iiiiit allllll

[meatysoviet]

Ivan will be watching. There will be popcorn involved.

It will be glorious.

[her_mouse_jesty]

such a good friend

[meatysoviet]

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSS~

And hey, if he got you off that list lady, you should, like, make him a nice dinner or something.

That'd be, y'know... Nice.

/single tear

[meatysoviet]

THE BEST~
