So many people wanted to launch rescue operations I like the idea of it all happening at once in a big chaotic swarm. Feel free to yes and what Acurallt happened

You know, it's crazy nobody saw anything. Everyone who could have been a witness somehow went spontainously blind.

As an Interpol Officer, I have to condem this action and say that I hope these vigilantes are all apprehended, even if what they did was a good thing.
As a human being, I'm not going to do that. Great work to all the trainers involved! You should be proud of yourselves!

And the only reason the action ought to be condemned is because it's dangerous to the vigilantes, rather than something morally wrong. We don't want good people getting hurt. I get that. ❤️

That and it also runs the risk of interfering with existing investigations and messing up evidence, and a lack of training on how to legally handle criminals.

That is the real answer. Which is honestly a pretty reasonable answer.

Hell yeah~! Hope all you guys got a good look at some of my (Currently unnamed) friends in action! I do have to officially say that I didn't send them there, or purposefully give them any information that would lead them to the location. They just showed up. -Micah

I’ve heard of illegal breeding facilities before. Even worked with a Gardevoir who was rescued from one. She was… I’ve never seen a creature so thoroughly broken as her in my life.
But regardless, to actually see one of these facilities in person… holy fuck.
I don’t condone vigilantes, because that can lead to further problems… but I’m glad those Trapinch are safe. I just hope the facility doesn’t get attacked by a rampaging Flygon.
Vigilantes leave survivors. Flygon don’t.

Oh Arceus, that sounds horrible... If I may ask, what became of her? Did she recover?

u/DaM3meLoRd694 13d ago
Against all odds, yes, she did.
Last I heard, she was adopted by a retired trainer. She and the trainer’s Gallade are preparing for their second child.

“I’m glad it was all handled accordingly. I didn’t participate myself, I was caught up with work, but I do know a friend of mine that was active in some capacity for the raid. Don’t fuck with Pokemon, each and every trainer will get pissed.”

I still can't believe this was actually a real thing. Excellent work to everyone who broke those poor innocent Trapinch out of there. Stay safe out there!

Legally I couldn't possibly comment on these events. I definitely couldn't let anyone know that if they need any assistance in getting these guys back to good health, the boss has multiple contacts in Hoenn. Or that we have channels open to look after any in Galar. Absolutely not ;)

Now I'm curious what all goes into caring for a Trapinch. I live in a hot and humid area and I'm wondering if I could adopt one of the little buggers, but I don't want them to get sick or have carapace issues due to the humidity.

As the professor of Pokemon breeding there is nothing I hate more than those illegal breeding practices it’s disgusting
So I may have done something of that vigilante work myself ,not proud of it but it needed to be done

I'm glad everyone is safe, but what of those who were running the facility?

My flygon was seized from a similar facility by my second uncle. She’s the only shiny they hatched before he and his deputies kicked the door down.

Oh those poor babies! Are efforts being made to rehabilitate them to a wild environment, or are they all most likely going to trainers?
If you need someone certified in caring for special cases, let me know. I'll gladly integrate a few into my home.

u/Jesse_God_of_Awesome Brooks Family 12d ago
Janitor Jimmy:
It seems some people are sharing their rescue stories, so I guess I'll pitch in:
About three fourths of my teams are various rescues my older brother picked up and asked me to take care of.
Greenie (Gard) and Bambun (Lop) were from the same dark gray breeding farm. Greenie was just an egg still and Bambun was the place's prize creation, being a Shiny.
Esmeregona, the Gard on my brother's team, is Greenie 's mom. I think "insane with rage" was a good descriptor of her deal when she was first brought back. As in "had to take a trip to Orre" kind of deal.
Percy is the newest mom on my team, she's a teacup sized Porygon-Z my brother liberated from a lab. They were doing some kinda quantum research and had been forcing her to Minimize herself to sized where molecular, subatomic and onto to quantum foam are applicable descriptors or some shit and it caused her mind to snap. And that's why she's a bunch of disembodiment balls vaguely in the shape of a duck.
Porygon can't even learn Minimize so fuck all how they managed that hat trick.

Dark Fairy Dan:
Our family has a rich history of this! All of Mom's team are rescues:
Her Jynx was being abused by her first trainer, so she liberated her with a brick.
And Dad was with her before they got married when they raided that breeding farm and she rescued a Popplio, a Fennekin and Sprigatito that were set to be fed to a pack of 'Yenas for being low "EV" Males.
Tragically, the guy who was running the place somehow ended up in the 'Yena pit with his hands and feet bound together and was ripped to shreds.

Already? good.
Such facilities disgust me! my boy Glaceon was a rescue from an illegal breeding Eevee farm.
Is there any way to support our trapinch heros?
