Hey, guys. Riku here. Most of you guys probably won't remember, but years ago, there used to be a group called the PGC- that's Pokemon Guardian Corps, and we were dedicated to keeping the peace and fighting Team Rocket.
Back then, the Rockets were actively causing crimes every few months. Bomb threats being their bread and butter. Pretty sure that particular Rocket's long gone, but with these recent crime waves... well. I'm starting to think we need to be more proactive again.
Not sure how many have taken matters like this into their own hands. There's already a post up that gave some info on the recent crimes. That tells me that we're dealing with at least one or two Psychic type Pokemon, so if you can, I recommend getting your hands on some Dark Types for your own safety. Pokemon with the abilities Shadow Tag or Arena Trap are good options, too- to prevent the teleporting. Mean Look if you don't have the ability, preferably on something fast like a Haunter or Gengar.
Personally, though? We've got a lot of tough trainers. Aurora League members, longtime residents, but... I know a lot of you "newer" trainers are competent in your own right. I haven't taken enough steps to really get to know a lot of you, but I don't think this is something we need to restrict to people with teams of level 100's.
There's strength in numbers, and if the cops aren't gonna pull their weight, then I think a concentrated effort to push back is the way to go. So if anyone's interested in a PGC revival, lemme know. Maybe we can hash things out from there. And if you've got any more intel on the crimes, I think this is a good spot to share the details and maybe hash out some strategies.
There's... also some sensitive info I got from a former Rocket back in the day that might be worth discussing, but that's something I wanna keep to a private line. I already know Rockets hide in plain sight- and not all of 'em are willing to turn on the organization like he did.

Maybe Hessonite's invasion? Man, those were a wild couple of days. I saw more action then than I did for the rest of that year combined.

Okay, so. A bit of backstory. A bit before I actually started training under Pearl, Universe and the other Crystal Gems went on this huge, world-spanning quest to deactivate an ancient weapon that pumped out mooks like it was the first Shin Megami Tensei. Long story short, Universe ended up befriending it—like he does—and the Prism left to go travel the world.
We all thought that was the last we'd hear of it.
You can probably guess where this is going next.

I actually got to meet the Prism before all of that went down. Nice guy, if a bit... creepy sometimes. The Steven impression was a bit much.
But she came, captured the Prism, and started making it pump out a bunch of mooks AGAIN. This time a lot more powerful, too. And since I was the only one actually with Steven when she first crash-landed in the middle of Beach City, we had a time rounding up the other Crystal Gems.

[Two kids, even super badass kids, with no alien superheroes in sight? Bad times.]
And, uh, yeah, I'd be a little weirded out if an ancient weapon kept imitating my ex-boyfriend too. Or current boyfriend, I guess, since this was a while ago. Future boyfriend?
[He's figured out that Connie and Steven Universe were together but aren't is what we're saying.]
