Thought I should note that I do not believe Quickie killed the original Pokemon RP, it just kind of ended like a courtroom drama on TV and thus I started a new adventure in Hoenn.
That said, Team Flora just kidnapped Pyro but who will need rescuing, the immortal child or the saps that abducted him?

The mention of TASTY CHLOROPHYLL in the Hoenn adventure thread gave me a pretty dark idea of where I want to go with Team Flora. Y'see, I drew inspiration from Team Flare in that Flora aims for the omnicide of the human species, but they are different in that their reasoning is that they see the human race as a cancer and that Pokemon and the planet are better off without them (also drawing inspiration from Team Plasma in wanting to separate humans and Pokemon, but then removing the human element altogether.) Their public face as a radical environment group is largely just a facade for their real goals.
However, most of their funding comes from drug and human trafficking. They are very creative with their accounting, though I suspect that there is a Officer Jenny(s) task force devoted to busting them. The irony in this is that many of these drugs are derived from Pokemon to collect their spores and powders to refine into narcotics. Pokemon like Parasect are often used to make medicines, but the drug trade, let us just say their treatment of Pokemon is very, very inhumane. To make matters worse, Flora often kidnaps and brainwashes people into their ranks using Psychic-types and forces them to take drugs to keep them addicted and loyal because who in their right mind would willing to join a group hellbent on mass murder/suicide?
Yeah, the minds behind Team Flora are hypocrites, but pragmatists. They are essentially a crazed death cult who cannot be reasoned with, so yeah, it is pretty dark...
...that said, I have this running gag where two Team Flora "stunners" (because Stun Spore makes a potent hallucinogen) named "Kooch" and "Shaun" wander Hoenn searching for their missing ride. I call it, "
Dude, Where's my Wailord?"
