The Crossroads Resistance Headquarters

[EmeraldSky]

Welcome, PXR residents--you've seen how the Rockets so brazenly took over the board, with Giovanni daring people to join the Rockets to supposedly learn about a secret Pokemon.

But we don't have to sit idly by and watch the Rockets run roughshod over what we've built--and this is where we come in.

If you feel brave enough to infiltrate the Rocket HQ or do whatever you can to bring them down, we want any and all comers!

Let's take back PXR together!

[Nekomata]

Retake PXR 2017!

TO ARMS, EVERYONE.

Or send Naya in for laughs. xD

YOUR LOCAL ANARCHIST IS REPORTING FOR DUTY
I didn't notice this at first but I love resisting things and here I am.

[EmeraldSky]

Okay, everyone! I have managed to intercept Giovanni's first transmission--these questions may hold the key to getting inside the hideout!


1. He's the fast talking Pokemon of the group.
2. Jessie and James are this rank in Team Rocket.
3. She hates Jessie with a passion.
4. He's never seen in the American version but is always helping Jessie and James.
5. She was Jessie's mother and a high ranking member of Team Rocket.
6. He always makes it double.
7. They are the rank who conduct the experiments.
8. The name of the group.
9. I control the group.
10. This is the rank that's just below the boss.
11. Her nickname is "The Black Tulip."
12. She is the one who began Team Rocket.
13. No one can get his name right.
14. She prepares for trouble.
15. They are the lowest rank of the group.

[LKWayvern]

3 is Cassidy, I think.
6 is probably James.
7 is... scientist?
8 Team Rocket?
9 Giovanni?
10 Admin?
12 Madame Boss??
13 Butch
14 is Jessie
15 is... Grunts?

[EmeraldSky]

Question 1 is most likely Meowth...

But we do have help...Bulbapedia (https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Main_Page) to the rescue!

[MC Elesa]

I know stuff about Team Rocket....

3. She hates Jessie with a passion. Wendy (Jessie took a smoothie from her. She works in HR and held a grudge to the point where she makes Jessie pays it via dues)

5. She was Jessie's mother and a high ranking member of Team Rocket.- Miyamoto

8. The name of the group.- "Raid On the City, Knock Out, Evil Tusks." (From the Manga)

11. Her nickname is "The Black Tulip."- Domino

[Bento Box of Motivation]

I bring memes to the table to defend against team rocket, as well as sushi.

[EmeraldSky]

Great work, anyone!

If you've spied around the Rocket base, be sure and report as soon as you can safely do so. We'll need all the intel we can get to infiltrate the hideout--even if we have to pose as Rockets.

I can tell this isn't as easy as you thought it was going to be!

[ARandomTool]

Well, someone's gotta bring back a little bit of YELLOW, FUZZY CHAOS...
Time for a fragment of the "long-lost" ERR to step in!
Undercover Agent Tool ready for action! And, uh... You'll be blasting off again shortly folks.
*Brings communication device up to mouth*
Fry 'em.
*The hot air balloon explodes like always*

Real cute fan fiction, kid. Was there anything else to it or was that all?

[ARandomTool]

Solid roast my friend. Too bad you can't even use any moves since you decided to talk. Me? I just type everything up on my phone.

[EmeraldSky]

Great, another new recruit! Can I trust you to keep the Rockets busy while we find a way in their hideout?

::goes to dismantle trap and save it for a different mission:: Why did I not expect them to go up in the air?

Twerp, you can't blame auto-correct for everything!

Oh wow, they actually think there's a hideout close by for them to find.

Ha, you twerps aren't ever going to find it! But I'll give you a hint! Start by looking up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, buwah, ha, ha, ha, ha!!!

No clues for you!

I'm tired and my patience is fraying.
Can I fire a Focus Blast at it?

[James]

It's funny to think that they could find our hideout. We hide it for a reason or else it wouldn't be called a HIDEout.

[Meowth]

They're slower than an old Slowpoke chasing a dead Slugma uphill!

It's been fun, twerps, but I can only laugh so much before it starts to hurt.

[EmeraldSky]

Laugh all you want, but we're not giving up!

[MC Elesa]

I am just here to help with intel.

[EmeraldSky]

MC Elesa

Great! I have already intercepted a Rocket dispatch you could decode.

[Caite-chan]

As usual people thinking it's going to be easy to get rid of us.

[EmeraldSky]

Believe me, we understand how powerful you are--but that's not going to stop us from trying to take you down!

[Shieldbearer]

Sorry I'm late, folks. Just got some studies to worry about and all, went away, and what do I see? Team Rocket took this place over and I didn't even hear a hint about them or their plans. Which is odd, considering they're showing off like complete buffoons now. Maybe that's just normal grunt talk, though.
May say you're a field agent, but the way I see it, you're not much different - only better than a grunt in that you think just a little more. Not that ranks mattered that much anyway.

Well, I'm done running my mouth. Let's rock.

[EmeraldSky]

Welcome aboard--any help we can get in infiltrating the Rocket hideout is sorely needed!

[Shieldbearer]

Thanks. I think I got all the answers down, what do I do with them, send them to you?

[EmeraldSky]

Shieldbearer

Hang onto them--the dispatch hinted that we would need these answers next week, when the next dispatch will come.

[MC Elesa]

MC Elesa

Great! I have already intercepted a Rocket dispatch you could decode.

Sounds like a good time. I will be on standby.

[EmeraldSky]

We have been told another dispatch will come next week--and the answers from this week's dispatch will be key.

[EmeraldSky]

Okay, freedom fighters, I have intercepted the next Rocket dispatch--it appears to be a kind of puzzle:

https://i.imgur.com/bv4fXex.png

[MC Elesa]

So we put our answers in this? Like a crossword?

[EmeraldSky]

Apparently this was why we needed to answer these questions last week. The question is, what purpose would a crossword serve?

[Shieldbearer]

Are we sure that this is anything more than just an initiation test? Because as of current, I don't see anything more it could be.

[EmeraldSky]

But then again, this could also be a chance to get inside the hideout.

[MC Elesa]

It could be a map to tell us where everybody is at. Quickest way to find Giovanni.

[EmeraldSky]

Or maybe the leftover letters (if any) form a clue of some kind.

[EmeraldSky]

Okay, everyone--I have intercepted the next dispatch:

https://i.imgur.com/QZMp7dj.png

The challenge is to identify who this Pokemon is...

[EmeraldSky]

Okay, freedom fighters, I have the last dispatch--the answer last week was Magearna!

Our objective is to find Magerna somewhere in Pokémon Crossroads. We have until September 30th to find her before the Rockets do.

--Some clues as to where she is:

-It's in any section a normal member can post in.
-NOT in Large RPGs.
-Not beyond 5 pages in a section.
-Not beyond 2 pages in a thread.

[Caite-chan]

Just face it we all know you won't find it before us.

[EmeraldSky]

True, but we're gonna try anyway!

[Caite-chan]

I highly doubt any of you even know where to start looking...or even have the tools.

[EmeraldSky]

Believe me, we are more capable than you think...

[Caite-chan]

HA! You're funny. You really think you can beat us Rockets?

[EmeraldSky]

Can I bean you guys, you ask?

Yes, yes I can.

[EmeraldSky]

Well, freedom fighters, I never thought it would come to this, but Team Rocket has forced our hand, making the challenge to find Magearna impossible...and so we have no choice but to lay low for a little while.

True, this is but a setback, and Team Rocket can gloat all they want about defeating us--but it was never a fair fight to begin with.

We must not give up...we will not give up!

[Giovanni]

FINAL TASK: Who is Giovanni?

Who's really behind Giovanni and trying to take over Pokémon Crossroads? Can you figure it out? Feel free to post your answers here!

[EmeraldSky]

No earthly idea--are there any clues we can search for?

[Giovanni]

I could give a clue but its rather easy and you already know the answer but you can't tell no one.
