This is what a vill-- a hero organisation is meant to look like
The equipment used by the groups was comprised of guns, pokeball's, restraining/emergency equipment, communication equipment, scanning equipment, and a phone device placed on their forearm.
The guns were registered with the league government, firearm division, also called D13. They were in charge of controlling and tracking the use of firearms coming in and out of the country. Luckily, Giovanni came in handy once more. With the help of Gaia, he was able to use his pre-established influences to gather the required guns. Although he called in many favours and jeopardised some very unstable 'friendships' with his request. They got what they needed.
Giovanni wasn't really bothered by losing some contacts since the prospect of working with Rex would lead him towards the light. A light so warm and full of money and all he could want that a few people leaving didn't matter.
Even then, Gaia also used blackmail by hacking into their accounts, finding dirt on the people who didn't feel like complying. Those who were squeaky clean had incriminating emails and documents planted in their email accounts or relevant physical places under their name.
The far-reaching hands of Giovanni were surprising to Rex. He didn't care in the least that this was wrong. He preferred not using force and gently guiding them in the right direction like a big brother. But he didn't mind slapping the shit out of them if they didn't listen.
The Pokémon used was Eevee's. to be precise, each group had 18 people in it, not including Gaia. Each group member had a different evolution of Eevee where possible. The typings that couldn't be covered by Eevee's were placed with adequate Pokémon to cover every typing. This was so that when they are fighting, the teams are never at a type disadvantage.
There were also tactics and group attacks harnessing the power of all the Pokémon for one big attack that was being developed by Gaia at the moment. But that needed some buffering time since it would take a while.
In the meantime, the groups had already been established, and training would commence. Giovanni owned a private airfield, which was currently being used as a temporary base of operations. It was more than big enough to do the required drills. It had mountains, lakes and flatlands perfect for terrain exercises. Even a small forest for protracted combat. It also allowed for the development of snipers, camouflage combat, and survival skills.
Gaia pulled relevant drills and army training from every region's classified documents and implemented them into its training regime. After all, these grunts needed to be properly trained, he wouldn't have some useless lackeys do his work only to fail and pile on more headaches for him to have to them fix.
They would also be trained in army tactics, developed their gun knowledge, and most importantly, study and understand every move and species of pokemon in every region, including its typing and how to counter it using their group formation. By the time they finished, Rex wanted an army of unstoppable trainers/ assassins ready and on standby.
The airfield was a ways away from the city for private reasons. Giovanni wasn't exactly a 'model' citizen then, so he needed his privacy to smuggle things in and out of the city. Mostly rare items procured from other regions in illegal quantities to then be sold.
In any case, the airfield was being remodelled by the tireless robots Gaia built. They used the same infinite energy system that Steelix used, yet it was on a smaller scale. And although it was meant to be 'infinite', it still needed to be charged once a month. After all, Steelix used evolution energy to harness his infinite energy. Gaia couldn't do the same.
But it was able to get something similar and efficient enough. So, the reconstruction would be done by in about a week or so. What would take months for humans to do, Gaia could do it many times faster since robots didn't need sleep.
The restraining equipment was similar to a Pokeball, yet its function was to temporarily 'catch' humans. It was meant for quick extractions of targets, or to avoid casualties from friendlies or civilians by quickly 'catching' them in the ball. This was also a function that Rex would make public for the use of rangers and the police force. It also had the effect of rapid healing, so as to provide emergency first aid to someone in need before transporting them to the hospital. This included a stasis function. Where the body, if mortally injured, could be put into stasis to prolong their life before adequate treatment was provided. But it had a time limit of 30 minutes, and the ball would lose all its energy and must be recharged before further use.
This ball would naturally be strictly regulated by Gaia so that it never got into the wrong hands. He also went the extra mile and added a function whereas, when it was illegally bought, or used for purposes besides what was stipulated, Gaia would know and would immediately take action if necessary. After all, it was like having extra eyes everywhere in a way. it might even lead to the location of black markets, criminal organisations and more by using this as bait. He would purposefully neglect to mention the surveillance placed on the ball for that purpose.
He would use this technology to have the league turn a blind eye to his secret organisation. The benefits obtained from this Restraining/emergency ball would be massive, it would change everything. Many lives would be saved, and dozens of targets who would've escaped wouldn't be able to with this piece of technology. All on the condition that he was given the privilege of having his organisation be unrestrained in any region under the control of the league.
Communication equipment was simply the walkie-talkie on their shoulder that connected them to an encrypted channel that runs through Gaia. So, it would hear everything they said at all times. This was also untappable, and extremely secure. Sub-channels were also in place for each group. Almost like a group chat with sub chats for specific groups.
So when someone wanted to say something to everyone in the whole organisation, they could do so. But that was going to be strictly prohibited unless it was an emergency. Otherwise, if everyone talked on the general channel not only would it potential disrupt a group on a mission, maybe giving their location away, but if an emergency did actually arise nobody would know about it.
Scanning equipment were little drones they could throw into the air, they would move independently and scan an area before the group moved in. It had infrared vision to spot any heat signatures in wide-open areas or in buildings.
And finally, the phone device served as a small computer on their arm. They could instantly bring up the blueprint of a building by taking a picture of it, they could search for information on a target by similarly taking a picture of them, or simply find relevant information to their mission.
All carriable equipment used micro technology, meaning that they didn't carry guns in their hands or strapped to their bodies. There was a slot in their wrist that lead to a button on their palms. Different buttons provided different things. All they needed from Pokeballs, guns, drones or restraining balls were immediately provided directly to the hand.
This removed the burdensome effort of reaching for stuff while also lessening the weight they needed to carry.
