A Private Pokemon RP
Rated R in case we want to take it there
"Congratulations! You beat our five trainers! You just earned a fabulous price! By the way, kid, how would you like to join Team Rocket? That’s right! We’re a group dedicated to doing evil using Pokèmon! Want to join? Are you sure? Come on, join us! I’m telling you to join! Ok, you need convincing.. I’ll make you an offer you can’t refuse!“
Turns out the offer was free dental care and a surprisingly reliable pension.. Who would’ve thought..

Welcome to your new exciting life as a Team Rocket grunt! Having been snatched off the streets, scouted when battling one of our senior operatives, or if you were just dumb enough to seek us out on your own, you are now working for our fabulously powerful Giovanni in order to liberate people from their wealth, their rights and most importantly: Their Pokemon. That’s right, our main objective is to capture the most powerful pokemon we can in order to topple the big cooperation, take over major businesses and deal with the occasional ten year old and his unrealistically overpowered Charizard. Granted, you as a new recruit won’t be thrown into that chaos right from the get-go, our admins are tasked with bigger missions like that. Having graduated our prestigious 6 month program at the Team Rocket Academy, your tasks will be less action-filled and more.. Less in scale. Don’t worry though, everything you do matters, as every stolen pokemon is a small step for you, but one giant leap for Team Rocket!
Our characters are Team Rocket Grunts. Plain and simple. How you ended up with this shady organization, and what your characters goals and motivations are, is up to you. However, i do encourage you to make a.. Morally grey character, at the very least. A Mary Sue won’t do good here. The format of the RP will at first be very similar to the basic adventurer RP, where we go on missions in teams, or as a whole group. As mentioned, every mission matters, and we’ll meet obstacles along the way. The RP also follows a timeline. While we start as grunts, we might do time skips here and there if the plot calls for it. Yes. There is an actual plot to this, but that’s for the Team Rocket Admins to take care of, we’re only Grunts anyways, right? As such, we also start off with only 1 or 2 pokemon, though you are capable of getting more pokemon further down the line, either from stealing from some random kid trainer, or if you catch one yourself. the Team Rocket HQ is also known for giving out weaker pokemon to the grunts on occasion, so that’s also an option. The RP borrows from canon lore, with tweaks to fit the new setting and plot. You might recognize characters from the games andor anime here, but their roles might be different than what you’re used to. The RP also starts off in the Johto region, though i do plan on us visiting other regions as well.

In this RP, Team Rocket is a lot better organized than they are in the canon game lore. By not keeping all their eggs in one basket, they manage to recover a lot quicker from setbacks such a aforementioned 10 year olds, and this has also led them to reach new heights and develop new goals in regard to their agenda. As mentioned, we won’t be tackling the major missions right away, we’re only grunts after all. The Admins take care of those missions, and the Admins are as follows:

In this RP, Team Rocket is a lot better organized than they are in the canon game lore. By not keeping all their eggs in one basket, they manage to recover a lot quicker from setbacks such a aforementioned 10 year olds, and this has also led them to reach new heights and develop new goals in regard to their agenda. As mentioned, we won’t be tackling the major missions right away, we’re only grunts after all. The Admins take care of those missions, and the Admins are as follows:
- Professor Hans: A somewhat unhinged Professor in his late 40’s. He was let go by Silph Co’s Kanto branch due to his extreme methods and disregard to pokemon and peoples well being in order to reach his own personal goals. A master in the field of mega Evolution, he’s worked with the likes of Professor Sycamore in order to better understand Mega Evolution and the bonds between trainer and pokemon in order to reach it.. Hah! Psyche! He’s in it for the money and personal gain. He was scouted out by one of Giovannis personal inner circle themselves, and is a high-ranking member of the organization. His Pinsir is menacing and not above brutally beating defeated pokemon into submission.
- Heidi: A former actress in her mid 30’s, Heidi is a woman of extraordinary beauty, and is as manipulative as she is gorgeous. She often use her looks and charm in order to manipulate people into doing her bidding. Her beauty is only matched bu her cruelty, which emerge whenever something doesn’t go the way she planned. Not above abusing people and pokemon alike, she wholly believe that Team Rocket is a cut above other people, and that what they do is just. Despite her cruelty though, she has a soft spot for the Team Rocket Grunts, often calling them „her babies“, referring to how they are underneath her in rank. Make no mistake though, she is not one to forgive, so if you get on her bad side, you better prepare for trouble. Her main Pokemon is a Slugma.
- Jason: Jason is a quiet young man in his early 20's, and never speaks out of line. He is always doing what he’s told, and is one of the more competent admins, despite his age. He often works alone, infiltrating restricted areas in order to plant bugs, steal valuable information or to generally get rid of people in high places Team Rocket has beef with. The only time you can see that he does, in fact, have some vague form of personality, is when Heidi tease him, suggestively calling him her little brother, to which he doesn’t actually reply even though his blushing says it all. He’s a stone cold assassin that has no qualms about getting the job done, and getting his hands dirty in the process. His main pokemon is an Ariados, which he often use to poison people.
- Kyle: A seemingly goofy guy in his early 30’s, Kyle seems to not have a single worry in the entire world. Taking things at his own pace unless told otherwise, he’s never one to rush, and he urges people to get their stuff done at their own pace. Despite this though, Kyle is a man of results, and puts emphasis on the „Get it done“ part. He is surprisingly forgiving to people who disappoint him, urging them to do better next time. However, he only give you one shot. If you continuously fail him, his attitude will change, and he’ll become more cold in his tone and not so subtly start threatening you. People who haven’t gotten their jush together with him have been reported to go missing.. His main pokemon is a Bewear.
- Mitch: A weasel of a man, Mitch is a lanky man in his late 30's working in one of Team Rocket's interregional branches with espionage and cooperate corruption. He has no spine despite his height, and only act powerful and intimidating when in presence of other powerful Team Rocket members. He talks a big game, but is quick to flee if the situation turns sour. He's a divorcee, with weekend stays from his two kids. He's the cool dad, but in reality, he's a lazy good for nothing suck-up. He's good at hs job with Team Rocket though, and despite his shortcomings he manages to carry his weight and then some. His ace Pokemon is a powerful Charizard.
Other NPC's. (Note: I'll add more NPC's to this list as the RP goes on and we meet new people.)
- Giovanni: The big boss. Our glorious leader and guide. Having given up on his position as the Viridian City’s Gym Leader in order to focus fully on Team Rocket and their endeavors, he’s grown even more ambitious than before, and even more ruthless when it comes to reaching his goals. To him, Pokemon are mere tools to be used for Team Rocket’s greater good, and it shows in how he talks about them as if they were chess pieces rather than living beings. His calm and intimidating demeanor makes him very difficult to read, and even Team Rockets own members respectfully fear him. Underneath the calm, however, is a ruthless ambition and willingness to go to extreme lengths to achieve his goals no matter the costs. He’s rarely seen without his trademark Persian at his side.
- Red: Oh yes, our favorite silent protagonist is part of this beautiful mess. He’s a young teenager out on a quest to be the very best like no one ever was, and will run into our group on several occasions. He’s an energetic youth with a strong sense of justice and camaraderie, which is how he manages to find himself in these dangerous situations to begin with. He’ll never back away from helping a Pokemon in need, will resolve to do anything in his power to stop wrongdoers. He is a powerful Pokemon Trainer with a heart of Gold, and a constant thorn in Giovanni's side.
- Vanessa: The committee member put in charge of overseeing our ragtag villains' first true mission as a group. She is a chatterbox of a woman in her late 20's, being way too small to be able to talk as much as she does. Gives off the strict but fair teacher vibe, which makes you wonder how she would act under pressure, and more importantly; makes you wonder why she's such a valued Team Rocket member. She's never seen too far away from her Togetic. Pure and kind, Vanessa wants to be your friend and teacher, and she wants you to succeed, regardless of the methods needed for you to do so..
