pokemas rocket admin lore

For the longest time in pokemas I've been planning to decimate my gem savings on villains and/or admins and today was a day of reckoning. ALL OF THE CREW CAME HOME. (Archer and Proton were a little stubborn and had to be pity-pulled.) I played their Sync Pair stories and typed up the lore so you don't have to:

PROTON

His new side hustle is selling fake slowpoke tails, items, food and PLUSHIES. Next time you see a counterfeit plush online, blame this guy.

He aspires to be the cruelest and scariest so he can emulate Gio. Mileage may vary.

Proton didn’t steal his Golbat- he doesn’t trust stolen pokemon and raised his partner from a Zubat.

PETREL

Petrel regularly practices a Giovanni impression, but the "Wahahaha" is giving Wario.

He considers himself to be the brains behind Team Rocket. (questionable)

Petrel prefers to trick his enemies by having Weezing expel gas and Honchkrow distract with a gang (murder?) of Murkrow.

ARIANA

She doesn’t care if her Arbok and her are seen as tools to Gio as long as they give him happiness.

Ariana usually trains with Arbok during the day for maximum effectiveness, as that's when its stomach markings are seen best.

She sees their servitude to Gio as a form of love and trust that others might not understand.

ARCHER

Gio gifted him his Houndoom when he was just a Houndour. Puppy present from the big boss!

Archer has no desire to take over Team Rocket and simply desires to serve Gio to the best of his ability.

Houndoom is devoted to Archer for life as Archer is to Giovanni.

Underneath the massive unfiltered simping, there's a shared devotion to Gio here beyond just an admiration for his power or wealth. All the admins are clearly trying to sell how tough/ruthless/generically evil they are- to varying degrees of authenticity. Good food.
