RED ALERT [text]

[conniemaheswaran]

Guys, I hate to bring down the mood, but we have a HUGE problem. Riku—you know, one of the very first trainers to arrive here, Aurora Leaguer, exceptionally powerful—that Riku apparently knows all about our operations in the Radio Tower. He's been keeping quiet about it, but with our increased activity and the organization of the Pokémon Guardian Corps there's a serious possibility he'll be conducting a raid in the future. He even mentioned it in a conversation with me, here's the proof.

[A video file containing a private conversation between Riku and Connie is attached.]

Everybody there, please please please PLEASE be careful (looking at you, Tio Steven) and see if you can't persuade the admins to move house or at least set up some countermeasures. This is bad news.

I have to echo the new guy here. Trying to provoke them is asking for trouble; I've been to his training center a few times and Riku is an absolute monster. He could probably level HQ all by himself if he was really pissed. Our best bet is to infiltrate the PGC, warn our cells if a raid is coming, and try to slow down activity so they think they're winning and let down their guard. We don't want to mess with them.

He might be a monster but he's very clearly inexperienced as a leader, and seems like he's running off some mental image of this entire thing being back in its prime - he's very openly not sure how to react to the current iteration of Team Rocket, and making a big public display like this serves the dual purpose of undermining his fledgling hero complex and completely diverting people from investigating the more subtle instigations we're actually capable of.

If it all goes to shit, though, you're fully welcome to a big fat 'I told you so' and as much gloating as you see fit.

[conniemaheswaran]

I'll happily take you up on that offer.

I'm glad I can rely on you to be level headed and whip-fast on call-outs.
