Rocket Chaos

[these_balls]

Hey guys! Time for a ~ROUTE 29 GROUP DISCUSSION~We know everyone's been rather on-edge about the recent plot, and a lot of you have been coming up with neat ideas, so I figured we could all discuss them, either with us or amongst each other

[buttpinched]

Maybe there's a way to combine both C and D if people want to plot out everything c:

[these_balls]

We could do that! That would just depend on who plans on breaking in and who plans on breaking out.

[buttpinched]

Yup! The people who want to break out can use the distraction from the people who want to break in and viceversa!

Mammon (not a Rocket) had been attempting to rescue her sisters and Sakutaro for days/weeks, but only to have her plans foiled every single time. But perhaps with option D, she could finally get lucky? Most of her Pokemon are in the 50/60s area, so she feels very confident, despite the failures before.

And I was wondering... Daisuke Niwa willingly came back and probably has been sent to the Radio Tower and all, but could he somehow ditch Team Rocket afterwards? Because he wasn't captured forcefully from the start, so I thought this would be the way to do it. ;;

[these_balls]

She could! She'd probably have to team up with others, because they can easily overpower one stray trainer, but she probably could!

As for Daisuke, do you mean during the entire takeover deal or just when it's all done?

[tsunpresident]

Okay! I'll take that into consideration.

Sorry! I meant during the takeover.

[these_balls]

It's fine! Yeah, he could probably escape then, but he'll probably end up booted out of Team Rocket for bailing on them.

teaaaaaam rocket's kickin' people ouuuuut ...... not as catchy

OKAY I have a general question-- that can help with the whole rescue thing on some parts I guess. DUE TO THE WEATHER, the lakes between Ecruteak and Mahogany-- those... aren't frozen, right? I MEAN I remember back in December things were freezing over but with the sun coming up again in a few days and three days of hail would definitely break apart it if it was... Or even then it would just be The Worst Idea to walk on it I guess...

BASICALLY what I'm asking is: Rescue attempts still need to go through the mountain, y/n?

[these_balls]

Not necessarily! Yes, the lakes are frozen solid, but they're solid enough that you can get into Mahogany by crossing them. (However, by the time they would have rescued the rockets, the ice would have melted enough to make it a rather dangerous to cross back.) Otherwise, it is the mountains (which is a little safer yet not at the same time).

Either way, it's a challenge!

[combat_butler]

Ohhhh, okay then. I am just so weirded out by it being cold enough to freeze over an entire lake lmao.

So if I am assuming the time frame right, it's going to be unsafe to use the lake to cross starting sometime next week? SORRY IF I AM BEING ANNOYING I just want to figure this out since Hayate would be willing to go help Lucifer if he can zip right across it

... AND EVEN THEN he might just try crossing it to get back regardless since hey so much faster. He'll just prolly fall in on the way back and end up a little sick from freezing water :|a

[these_balls]

JOHTO'S ON CRACK. I don't question it. It's this year in general.

Maybe mid/late next week! The weather next week hasn't been fully planned yet but we could probably have it "coincidentally" cooperate with the break-in crew.

[restardom]

As far as I know, Ven, Aqua, Terra, and Rise will be booking it to Mahogany to get in on a SAVE THE PRISONERS attempt (and also because Rise's BFFs might still be around the area), and I know that Ven and Terra and Rise all have high-leveled Pokémon, in the eighties being the highest for a few of them. So I like the idea of combining Option C and D, personally. If there are other rescue groups, a teamup might go better for everyone involved.

Though I'll second Kev on the... probably needing to figure out the travel routes, water-wise, or if it's mountain-trekking a gogo.

[little_anchor]

Teaming up would probably have the highest logical success rate. I think there are a few others, so they probably won't be the only ones! And if anything, everyone can get a bit of plotting done together.

Travel-wise both routes are open, though they'd have to walk on ice and have a trickier time escaping if they do.

[restardom]

HEY GUYS

WHO WANTS TO FORM A MOB :DDDDDD

[bakaitoukid]

Combining C and D is a good idea! :3 And maybe excommunicating the Rockets who do escape/are rescued, to throw in a bit of E as well.

[usedrage]

VIOLENT ILLNESS.

[bufudyned]

IT WILL HAPPEN

[these_balls]

So we've got some breaking in, some breaking out, and PSYCHIC MEMORY BEAMS EVERYWHERE

...you may be onto something 8)a
