Operation: Petpet Park
Operation: Petpet Park was a plot that was used as a way to introduce Neopets users to Neopets' sister site, Petpet Park. The plot began on September 4, 2008 and concluded on October 28, 2008. It followed the story of a group of three agents from the Petpet Protection League as they were sent out on missions to retrieve six new types of Petpets from special portals connecting Neopia to Petaria. Along the way, the trio had to outsmart a rouge agent named Yurius.
During beta testing, most of the Operation: Petpet Park characters were removed from Petpet Park and were replaced by new Petpet characters. As such, it is unclear whether or not the events of Operation: Petpet Park are still part of Neopets' canon.

Mission 4
On Mystery Island, the agents discovered that they had arrived too late. Yurius had already arrived and claimed the Kassegats. He hid them within a temple on the island, behind several traps. However, the agents were able to use quick thinking to overcome them by a moderator named Phil, and rescued the Petpets.
Mission 5
Next, on the hunt for Oukins, the agents were dispatched to the Haunted Woods. Once again, Yurius had managed to get there first, and left yet another cryptic note for the agents. They soon discovered the Oukins, locked within one of the graveyard's tombs.
Mission 6
Finally, the agents were dispatched to Maraqua on the hunt for Dipnis. However, Yurius sprang a trap on the agents, trapping them within a gradually flooding device. Yurius trapped himself within a similar device, and claimed that whoever escaped first was the better PPL agent. As the agents figured out the solution to the keypad lock on the trap, Yurius discovered that his own solution had become damp with the water, and the ink had run. The agents escaped, and agreed to free Yurius rather than let him drown. Yurius meanwhile, had a startling flashback to his entrance exam with the PPL. Then, just as in the trap, he had used a pen instead of a pencil, causing him to be fired. It was this that had caused him to seek revenge. The agents returned both Yurius and the Petpets to Weltrude, and she prepared to open the Petpet Park to the rest of Neopia.
