Okay, the thing about the PPC is that our response to 'the enemy has a big weapon' should never be 'I need a bigger one'. I urge you to read Sunrise Elf for just one of many examples of how agents with no weapons managed to kill a Mary-Sue. Would it have been funny if they brought a magic sword along to do the job? No. No it would not.

The PPC suffers chronic, well, everything shortages for a reason: because it's far more interesting to read about agents desperately improvising everything than it is to read about Jaycacia Thornbyrd.

It is telling that when my agent acquired a powerful magic ring, it ended up causing him nothing but trouble. He got spotted by canons, and eventually blew himself up.

Oh no, they've got a legendary pokemon! Yeah, well, I've got a tranquiliser dart. Take that, canonical convention. ;)
