After defeating his rival, Silver, for the third time, and making his way through the Union Cave, Shinya finally arrived in Azalea Town. Or more precisely, route 33. Nevertheless, the Bug type trainer was glad to finally be here, exiting the dark cave and stepping out onto the clear grassy field of the 33rd route. The weather was clear, the sun had just begun to set, and all appeared to be peaceful on the surface of this little patch of heaven. However, with Shinya's arrival, all that peace may very well come to an abrupt end in the not-so-distant future. "Finally. Azalea Town. Ready or not, Bugsy. Here comes Team Skull." Shinya declared out loud, grinning with anticipation as he made his way towards the town's gym, planning to get his second gym battle in before sundown.
From the very moment he arrived in the Johto region, Shinya had been eagerly awaiting his gym battle against the other Bug type trainer. And now that it was close at hand, the excitement emanating from the Team Skull grunt was so strong that it was as though he were wearing a suit of armor. Shinya felt more than ready to finally challenge Bugsy to a battle, destroy him, and show him who the real Bug type master was in Johto. And in doing so, demonstrate Team Skull's might to the people of this region even further. But if Shinya was really being honest, he just wanted to prove that no one was better than him and his big bro, Guzma, when it came to training Bug type Pokemon. If Bugsy couldn't even defeat Shinya in a battle, then he wouldn't stand a chance against Guzma.
With all of that in mind, it seemed as though nothing could penetrate the Alolan trainer's armor of excitement, as the small town soon came into view through the trees of route 33. However, at the exact moment Shinya walked past an old stone well sticking up out of the ground, he lost his grin and came to a complete stop, hearing some strange sounds coming up from its dark depths. From what Shinya could hear, the sounds appeared to be moans of pain. And since these were sounds that Shinya was very familiar with, they were unmistakable to him. Growing curious, Shinya approached the well and looked over the side, staring down into the seemingly unending darkness below the surface. He couldn't see what was happening down there at all, but the moans continued to come up from said darkness, almost as if someone was trying to call out for help but was too weak to use actual words.
If it were anyone else, they probably would've jumped straight down into the darkness without so much as a second thought, answering the unknown individuals pleads for assistance. Unfortunately for whoever was down there, Shinya didn't care for the suffering of others one bit. And that was especially true at this particular moment, as the green-haired trainer was looking forward to his next gym battle far too much to take any sort of detour. So, rather than climb down the ladder and assist whoever was in peril, Shinya instead yelled his own brand of hurtful advice down into the well. "Oh, shut up! Either call for help on your Pokegear or just lay down and die! Regardless, I ain't crawlin' into some dark hole for some guy I don't know who already sounds like he's got one foot in the grave!"
Shinya's voice echoed down into the well, then nothing but silence followed, causing him to regain his grin and nod. "Yeah. That's what I thought. Now, where was I?" Shinya asked himself a rhetorical question, turning back towards the town afterward. But before leaving the well, the Team Skull grunt gave the side of the manmade structure a good kick, causing several bricks to come loose and fall down into the dark depths, hitting the cold, hard ground with a loud tumbling sound. Having caused some destruction to a historical landmark, Shinya turned away, feeling even more ready and eager to take on Bugsy. However, it looked as though Arceus had other plans for the Bug type trainer at that particular moment in time.
It appeared as though the bricks that Shinya kicked loose had weakened the overall structural integrity of the well, causing a few more bricks to fall out of place on their own, before the ground all around the well started to give way. Before the Alolan trainer had time to react, the ground came right out from under his feet, causing him to fall backwards and down straight into the well. "WOAH! What the heck?! You've gotta be kiddin' me!" Shinya yelled as he followed the lead of the bricks he kicked down just a few seconds prior, fully aware that his landing would be anything but safe. Thinking fast, Shinya grabbed the ladder on the inside of the well, but since it was so old and worn down, that too gave way as soon as it felt the rather sudden increase in weight. Fortunately, Shinya wasn't out of ideas just yet, quickly grabbing a Pokeball from his bag and tossing it down to the ground below him.
"Yanma, use Psychic!" A bright flash of light shined in the darkness when the red and white sphere burst open, as the Clear Wing Pokemon appeared and looked up in shock. "Oh no! Shinya! I've gotcha, boss!" Not wasting even a single millisecond, Yanma's eye lit up with psychic energy, and she used that energy to stop her trainer in midair before slowly lowering him down onto the ground below. Once he was out of harm's way, Shinya breathed a sigh of relief, carefully getting back to his feet before turning to face Yanma and giving her a smile of gratitude. "Nice catch, Yanma. Ya saved me." As usual, Yanma was very happy to receive praise from Shinya, but she was even more happy, and extremely relieved, to see that he was okay, flying over and taking her favorite place on top of his head. "Of course. But please don't scare me like that ever again, okay?"
While the Bug/Flying type Pokemon nuzzled her head lovingly into her trainer's hair, Shinya slowly reached up and gently rubbed the top of her head with two of the fingers on his right hand. "Believe me, I'll really try not to. Now, how 'bout we get outta here?" Shinya asked, then turned and proceeded to the ladder, only to find that the last batch of bars on it had been destroyed by some other force. "Tch. Damn. Looks like we're gonna need another round of Psychic, Yanma. Ya up for it?" The Bug type trainer glanced up at her, and she immediately spread her wings and smiled down at him. "Like ya have to ask. Just leave it to me! I'll have us out of here before-" Before Yanma could finish her thought, she was suddenly interrupted by the sounds of even more moans of pain.
Now that they were down in the well themselves, the moans sounded much louder and clearer, as both Shinya and Yanma turned in the direction of the tunnel that led deeper down into the well. Curiosity getting the better of him yet again, Shinya let out a sigh and began to move towards the source of the pained moans. "Well, now that we're down here, we may as well see who's dyin'." With the path ahead looking very dark, Yanma used Psychic once more, as the light from her eyes illuminated the cavern ahead of them. Then, not even a minute later, the Bug type duo came upon an elderly man who definitely looked like he had seen better days but hadn't kicked the bucket just yet. "So, what's your story, old timer? Ya fall down here too or what?" Shinya asked the old man in a nonchalant tone of voice, clearly not all that concerned about his condition, but still at least a little curious as to how he ended up in such a sorry state.
OOC: Okay, before this quest officially begins, I'd like to make four changes to Shinya's team and inventory. First, I'd like to use Shinya's TM122 Leech Life on his Wimpod. Second, I'd like to give Wimpod the Silver Powder in Shinya's inventory to hold onto. Third, I'd like to transfer the Amulet Coin that Dwebble is holding over to Yanma. And finally, I'd like 3 of the Persim Berries in Venom's inventory transferred over to Shinya's please. Thanks for all of that. Sorry to do this hear. I just figured this would be a little easier, ya know?

How long had it been since Team Rocket had first darkened the doorsteps of Azalea Town, scurrying off in the night with their beloved Slowpokes? Too many of the people of Azalea had been too meek or unskilled to try and challenge the members of Team Rocket, especially without their Slowpokes by their side. But Kurt, the de-facto leader of the townspeople, could not let this sit idly by. He had charged out of the house, determined to do something about the situation on his own. Of course, it was difficult maneuvering into and out of the Slowpoke Well, even on a good day. But the Rockets' efforts had left the cavernous entrance a bit unstable, and like Shinya would much later, Kurt fell and landed squarely with his back against a rather sharp rock. His body wracked in pain, Kurt found himself paralyzed. For a moment, he wondered if he should cry for help, or if that would merely attract the attention of the criminals within the well. Realizing that nobody even knew he was down here to look for him, he had decided to hedge his bets on the people of Azalea. And so Kurt began to call for help. Of course, the first call for help was received by mockery and jeering from up above. Kurt had failed to attract any attention save for that of a passing heckler. He was beginning to resign himself to his fate when he heard another voice yelp in surprise, as well as the sound of a thud. Kurt could only moan in pain as a response, unable to check on his fellow traveler in his current condition. But before long, his moans of pain earned the attention of his new companion, as a young delinquent and his pet bug came wandering in from the darkness. "My name is not 'old-timer', it is Kurt! I came down here to stop Team Rocket, but the rocks slipped under my feet and...well, I ended up here," Kurt sighed, the gesture sending a wave of pain throughout his body as he regaled the delinquent youth with his story. "I won't be much help in this condition, but Team Rocket needs to be stopped before they destroy this town and its Pokemon. You're not from around here, so you may not care, but I beg of you: Help us run this gang of hooligans out of our town, keep them from butchering our Slowpoke and the people of Azalea would be forever in your debt! All you have to do is find their leader, the one they called Proton. Beat him and the others should scatter quickly enough."![](https://s25.postimg.cc/pomqii0j3/Kurt.gif) The Poke Ball craftsman Kurt has requested Shinya's help in rescuing his Slowpoke!

Even when the old man snapped at them, neither Shinya nor Yanma flinched even a little. It was clear as day that the Bug type duo were not easily intimidated or shamed, as they listened to Kurt's explanation with some rather sarcastic expressions upon their faces. However, those facial expressions were quickly swapped out for facial expressions of shock and intrigue when Kurt mentioned Team Rocket. And just like that, the Team Skull grunt was hanging on the Pokeball craftsman's every word, as the memories of their last encounter with Team Rocket filled the minds of trainer and Pokemon alike. "Team Rocket? Hey boss, aren't those the guys that we fought when we destroyed that couple's house that one time?" From her place on top of Shinya's head, Yanma looked down at him as she questioned him, still showing absolutely no shame or regret about their own actions during the time she brought up.
Not wanting to unbalance his dear Clear Wing Pokemon at all, Shinya didn't nod his head, but he did still give her an answer. "Yup. Indeed, they are, Yanma. Indeed, they are." Once Kurt finally finished speaking, the trainer from Alola took a minute to think, weighing the pros and cons to helping the old man and his people, or leaving them high and dry. Just as he did the last time he dealt with Team Rocket. As he slowly stroked his chin with his right hand, Shinya thought and though, until he finally reached a decision. Taking his hand away from his chin, a rather excited grin appeared on Shinya's face, as he looked down at the elderly man one more time. "Alright, listen up, pops. You're right about one thing. I don't care what happens to you, your people, your hometown, or even the Pokemon that live here. As far as I'm concerned, ya can all shrivel up in the sun and croak. Especially that gym leader of yours."
"However, it looks like luck is on your side today. Ya see, if it were anyone else givin' ya trouble, I'd gladly look the other way and move on. Heck, I might even join in on the fun and make things even worse for ya. Fortunately for you, those Team Rocket chumps are in my way. Ya don't know it yet, but Johto belongs to Team Skull now. But before I call in all my bros and sis' from back home, I gotta finish layin' the groundwork for our team. Meanin', anyone who's in our way had better get outta the way, or I'll destroy 'em. Or rather, we'll destroy 'em." No matter how conceited Shinya may have appeared to those that didn't know him, he never once forgot about his Pokemon and the massive role they played in helping him to achieve his goals, pointing to the Bug/Flying type on his head as he said that last part. In response to her trainer's acknowledgement of her aid, Yanma gained a proud smirk upon her face, as her Psychic type-charged eyes continued to shine almost as brilliantly as the Amulet Coin around her neck.
"So, to put it simply, we'll help ya out. But not for your sake. For our own sake. Get the picture, old timer?" The green-haired trainer asked the old man a rhetorical question, and smugly called him by the same name he just told him not to when he snapped at him a moment ago. Then, without even waiting for his response, Shinya glanced up at Yanma and spoke to her yet again. "Now then, ya up for another round of destruction, Yanma?" In response to his question, Yanma continued to smirk, flapping her wings in excitement as she answered him. "Like ya even have to ask. Forget just takin' down their leader. Let's destroy all of 'em, boss!" Her answer caused Shinya's own excitement level to rise, as he let out a few chuckles, then walked right past Kurt and into the dark tunnels that made up the Slowpoke Well, ready to do some serious damage. "Heck yeah! That's my girl! Take no prisoners! Just names!"

Kurt placed one hand on his back and stared at Shinya through wide, terrified eyes as the Skull Grunt ranted about how he couldn’t care about the wellbeing of Azalea Town or its people. Anger flecked through the gleam in his eyes as well and burned inside of his heart. But whenever Kurt tried to push himself up, his back remained immobile and only caused massive levels of pain to shoot throughout his entire body. “Oh, Arceus, please help me!” Kurt mumbled in prayer under his breath, folding his hands over his chest. “What have I done?” He questioned himself on why he’d even asked this strange fellow in the first place. The well snaked around through a manmade cave-like tunnel. Steep ledges carried away from where Kurt laid near the entrance with large stalagmites jutting out of the ground in odd spots. Some of the ledges would probably be easier to traverse, with old stone stairs that remained mostly useable. Though some of the ledges would require the Skull Grunt to make use of his skills to carefully and skillfull climb up them, or at the very least creatively incorporate his Pokemon’s unique skillsets. Whether it was because of them jutting out of weaker wall structures, thus crumbling easily underneath his hands, or because they were nearly half his height. A strange redheaded man decked out in a long sleeved black shirt and long black denim jeans leaned against the wall of the cave. He monitored a steep set of stairs leading up a large, rocky hill inside of the cave. Although there might have been a more direct pathway in front of the large hill, a massive and immovable bolder blocked the possible path. “I gotta stand here and just stare at this bolder all day…” The grunt mumbled underneath his voice with a loud yawn. “‘Make sure no one tries to sneak by’ they said! Blah, blah, blah! I’ll stop anyone dead in their tracks!” He scoffed angrily, picking at the dirt underneath his nails absentmindedly. The question would obviously remain: would Shinya try to sneak by or confront the grunt directly? Shinya notices a guard on 'duty'! Challenge Grunt (1) to a battle or try to sneak by? If your attempt to sneak by is noticed, Rocket Grunt will attack with Level 15 Vampy anyways...

Shinya only chuckled at the struggling of the old man, leaving his behind to venture further into the Slowpoke Well. True to form, Yanma chuckled right along with her trainer, finding just as much amusement in the suffering of others as he did. Still, both trainer and Pokemon were well aware that all fun and games would soon be over, and stopped chuckling as soon as Kurt was out of earshot. Unlike Silver, Falkner, or any of the other trainers they had faced in battle so far, Team Rocket wouldn't stop at simply taking some of their money if they lost a battle against the evil organization. Not that Shinya had any plans to lose, of course. So, with Yanma's eyes still lighting their way, Shinya and the Clear Wing Pokemon took a look around the well as they ventured further into its depths, searching for any and all signs of Team Rocket activity.
As expected, it didn't take the Bug type duo very long to find something, hearing an unfamiliar voice not far from their current position. Making sure to stay hidden, Shinya and Yanma moved closer to the source of the voice they heard, then listened to what it was saying. Shinya recognized the words of a Team Rocket grunt right away, but simply scoffed, rather than showing any fear or concern. "Tch. That's what you think, scrub." The Team Skull grunt whispered to himself, grinning ear to ear, already looking forward to destroying this Team Rocket member, and every single member that was down here with him. True, Shinya and Yanma probably could've snuck past him, but where would be the fun in that?
"How are we gonna play this, boss?" Yanma questioned her trainer, looking down at him from her place on top of his head and making sure to whisper too. Before answering her, the Alolan trainer took a minute to think, wanting to make as much of an impression on Team Rocket as possible. "Ya know what? Let's go with an old favorite, Yanma. Team Rocket's got their stupid motto, don't they? Well, we've got somethin' much cooler." Shinya was referring to the Team Skull theme song, which he made sure to teach to all of his Pokemon when he had the free time to do so. Yanma's eyes got even brighter when she heard Shinya's answer, smiling and nodding at him with excitement filling her voice. "Oh yeah. I like that idea. Let's put on a show, boss."
With their plan set, Yanma used her Gust attack to whip up a cloud of dust, blowing it right in the Team Rocket grunt's direction. However, with the Slowpoke Well as damp as it was, the dust started to settle after only a few seconds. Fortunately, that was all Shinya and Yanma needed, appearing in full view before the Team Rocket grunt and grinning right at him, not even trying to sneak by him. And, taking full advantage of the stage they had set, Shinya started rapping the Team Skull theme song right then and there. "I can't handle this stupid world! Beat down and smash this rotten world! Smash! Trash! Wreck! Break! Enough with bein' nice! Let out steam with destruction! Full power! Blue skies! We're the proud Team Skull! We're the infamous Team Skull! Put your hands up, everybody!"
"YEAH!" Right as Shinya finished rapping, Yanma raised her legs and wings as high as they could go, shouting out as loud as she could in her own language, which only Shinya and other Pokemon could understand. Either way, they had made their grand entrance, and both were feeling very pleased and confident with themselves. So, making good use of their current adrenaline rush, Shinya and Yanma eyed the Rocket grunt's Pokemon, and initiated the battle themselves, not bothering to wait for said Rocket grunt to do so himself. "A Zubat?! Are ya kiddin' me?! How basic can ya get?! Yanma, take care of that bargain bin Pokemon with your Psychic attack!" Spreading her wings and taking flight, the Bug/Flying type's eyes shined ever brighter than they already were, locking onto the Bat Pokemon and using her psychic powers to slam it right into the roof of the well, then down onto the floor of the well. "Ya like that?! Huh?! Well, here! Have another! And another!"

The red headed grunt pulled on the bill of his black hat and grumbled softly underneath his voice as he stared at the wall of the cave across from him. He was barely listening to the sounds around him since they all seemed to blend into each other. Water rushed in the small lake in the distance, though most of it was lost to the flapping of the wild Zubats that hovered near the ceilings above his head. He’d snagged one for himself recently and expected that her nearly useless form might become somewhat useful in deterring the riffraff that might try to wander down and stop their nefarious plans. The gusty windstorm that Yanma and Shinya whipped up caused the grunt to jump up from his post. He pressed a balled hand against his mouth and coughed profusely as sandy winds slipped down his throat and tickled his lungs. They ached and burned throughout his body, causing the grunt to feel lightheaded and dizzy for a split second. “What in the heck was that?!” The red-headed grunt called his winged bat out of her Pokeball and pointed to the dust that swirled all around them. “Boomerang! Ack! Hurry and…uff! Blow away that wind!” He coughed loudly as Boomerang used her wings to send the sandy winds far away. Shinya’s rapping only made the Rocket grunt visibly agitated. “And just who do you think you are?! One lonely guy does not a team make!” The Rocket Grunt laughed and nodded towards his bat. “I’ll show you a lesson you won’t soon forget, got it kid?” He snapped. Boomerang raced towards the roof of the cave and began screaming with large supersonic waves from her mouth as soon as she heard the grunt tell her, “Boomerang use Supersonic now!” However, Yanma was too fast. Within a second, her powerful psychic waves would hit Boomerang head on before the bat could attack, knocking Boomerang out. “Urg! I’ll show you! Remy come out and teach this kid a lesson!” The grunt quickly recalled his bat and unleashed his mouse from its Poke Ball.

As soon as the grunt's Zubat hit the dirt, it was Shinya's turn to laugh, doing so for a full minute before shooting a retort the Rocket grunt's way. "HA! Show me what?! How pathetic ya are when ya lose?!" Yanma laughed too, blowing another gust of wind in the Rocket grunt's direction after defeating his Zubat, along with another round of mockery, even though he couldn't understand her like Shinya could. "You stink, loser! That was way too easy!" The laughter only continued when the Bug type pair saw the grunt's second Pokemon, clearly not even the least bit impressed or intimidated by it. And who would be? Nickname or not, it was still just a mere Rattata.
"First a Zubat, and now a Rattata? Seriously? And you chumps think you got what it takes to take over the world? Oh please. If this is the best ya got, then I don't know what that old timer was so worried 'bout." Shinya sounded very sure of himself. So sure, in fact, that he reached into his bag and pulled out a new Pokeball for round two of this battle. "Ya must not have heard me durin' our intro tune, so I'll say it again. We're Team Skull. All of us. Me and my Pokemon. And you're on our turf. The minute we set foot on Johto soil, this land became Team Skull's turf. And Team Skull doesn't take kindly to trespassers on our turf. So, ya can either join up with us, or we'll destroy ya. Simple as that." The Alolan trainer explained to the Rocket grunt, then pressed the button on the Pokeball he withdrew from his bag.
"That's right! So, stay outta our way, chumps!" Yanma piled on, then stuck her tongue out and gave the Rocket grunt a raspberry. After that, Shinya tossed his second Pokeball of choice onto the battlefield to face said grunt's Mouse Pokemon. "Your little rat means less than nothin' to us. So, even this little guy shouldn't have too much trouble gettin' his first win. Wimpod, it's your turn now!" The red and white sphere lit up the whole cavern when it opened, revealing Shinya's future ace Pokemon in the making. But just like always, Wimpod was anything but thrilled to be battling. "Oh great. Not again. Can't Scyther or Joltik handle this instead? They like to battle."
"Shut it, Wimpod! You're makin' us look bad in front of the other bad guys! Crawl outta your shell and get ready to fight!" The Clear Wing Pokemon yelled down at her teammate, causing him to flinch and shake, not wanting to let his teammates down, but still wished there was another way he could grow stronger. "Ya heard her, Wimpod! Besides, I gave ya a new move and a hold item before we got here! So, how 'bout ya use 'em?! Leech Life!" The Team Skull grunt gave his orders to his Pokemon, referring to the Silver Powder shimmering on Wimpod's shell as he did. "Oh well...I'll try. Here goes nothing." The Turn Tail Pokemon let out a single sigh, then made use of his speed, skittering over to Remy and taking two big bites out of the Normal type's hide.

"Your turf? Join you? Kid your clothes are on too tight that it is probably choking you. I will give you credit for the nice distraction for the entrance. However this rattata will definitely teach you a thing or two against your weak bug Pokemon. Alright, Remy, let us use bite to shut up this kid." Before the rattata could move this new wimpy looking bug came out and bit down on the rattata. To his horror, the bite drained life from his body. Remy barely hung enough to deliver his own bite attack on the stinky bug. His bite didn't do anywhere close to the damage on the slimy bug. The grunt looked stunned at the ease this kid is having in the battle. Thankfully he is only there to slow down people if he couldn't detour them altogether. "I still laugh at your little team. You try to sound impressive and a threat to Team Rocket but we got numerous members and we will take over Jhoto. No one else will have this country but Team Rocket. The League will fall before us as we rob all the trainers of their Pokemon and take the natural resources this place has to offer. The best thing you can do is to turn around and go run back to your momma since your team will fail." Down deep the grunt hopes that the others deeper in the cave will have better luck than he is having right now. He then remembers the admin who is at the end and smiles.

In response to the Rocket grunt's first few comments, Yanma glared at him, and prepared to use her Psychic attack on him now. "Hey! You can't talk to the boss like that, you big jerk! Let's see if you can still talk smack after I pull your tongue right out of your mouth!" The Clear Wing Pokemon was fully prepared to focus all of her Psychic powers on the Rocket grunt's tongue, but as soon as she saw Shinya raise a hand, she stopped, calmed down, and faced her trainer. "Easy there, Yanma. I'm all for teachin' painful lessons to anyone who talks down to us, but let's not start takin' things too far. We don't need the international police comin' after us. At least not until we're strong enough to fight 'em off." Shinya may have been a future crime lord in the making, but he definitely wasn't unreasonable.
The Bug type trainer knew that if he or his Pokemon spilled any blood in pursuit of their goal to establish Team Skull in the Johto region, the law would start to take them seriously. A little too seriously for Shinya's taste. As bad as Team Skull was, they were never THAT bad, and Shinya wasn't about to take them to that level without the power to back it up at the very least. Besides, Wimpod's performance in this battle was more than enough for Shinya to turn this battle of words right around, smirking at the Rocket grunt and speaking to him in a smug, superior tone of voice. "First of all, chump, I don't got a "momma". Secondly, if ya weren't so dumb, you'd realize that numbers don't mean a damn thing. In fact, that makes this defeat all the more humiliatin' for ya."
"Think about it for a sec. What do ya think will happen when word gets out that an entire band of Team Rocket grunts was defeated by one trainer? That trainer's rep would soar to new heights, while Team Rocket's rep will take a nosedive. And word will get out. I'll make sure of it." While Shinya was busy making threats, Wimpod was backing away from Remy, spitting fur out of his mouth at the same time. "Blah! Yuck! Rodent fur! Disgusting! And this is coming from a Pokemon that eats garbage! Believe it or not, the trash I've eaten tasted better than you, furball!" Both Shinya and Yanma couldn't help overhearing Wimpod's comments, and the two of them got a few good laughs out of them as a result. "Ahahahahahahah! Good one, Wimpod! That's more like it! Ahahahahahahahah!"
Once the Team Skull grunt and the Bug/Flying type finished their round of laughter, the Team Skull grunt resumed smirking, as he addressed his Turn Tail Pokemon. "I gotta say, Wimpod. That wasn't bad. Ya did better than I thought ya would. Now, let's see ya finish these chumps off. Use Leech Life again!" Shinya gave his order, and Wimpod was happier than he had ever been before. His trainer had finally given him some genuine praise, and he was finally about to win his first real battle. All on his own. However, on the other hand, the thought of sinking his teeth into Remy's furry hide for a second time made the Bug/Water type feel like he was going to vomit. "Urgh...Arceus, have mercy. Only for Team Skull. Only for Team Skull!" Wimpod proudly declared after taking a deep breath and using his incredible speed to approach the Normal type once again.

The Rocket grunt crossed his arms over his chest and rolled his eyes. Shinya continued to talk to his Pokemon like this was some episode of a kid’s show where “Friendship is Magic!!” and just made the Rocket grunt feel sick to his stomach. “Aww look at the little child playing with his Pokemon!” The Rocket grunt mocked. Pokemon were pawns in their schemes, nothing more and nothing less. If they proved to be too useless then they were chucked to the side in favor of Pokemon who could get the job done. Though Shinya’s flying dragonfly had proved herself worthy in their previous fight – which meant the grunt would be sure to tell the others to steal her in particular – talking to her like she was an equal was some lame thing kids did to ‘bond’ with their Pokemon. “Are you done playing make believe with your little flyer? We’ve got a battle to finish!” The Grunt asked with a raised eyebrow. As if to make his point known, the grunt would nod expectantly towards his furry purple rodent, who stood poised and prepared for his next attack. “Remy, I need you to strike while they’re distracted talking about their feelings or whatever. Use your Quick Attack and fast!” The small rodent zipped at the top of its speed on its nimble feet and slammed into Wimpod’s side. “Take that you ugly bug!” Remy scoffed, puffing its chest out and thumping its tail against the ground underfoot. Wimpod stood his ground firmly through the worst of the attack, then spun around and sunk its teeth into Remy’s flesh once more, draining the last of Remy’s health. “Listen, we don’t want the police anymore than you do!” The Grunt explained through gritted teeth as he recalled his Pokemon. Begrudgingly, he walked up to Shinya and pulled out a wad of cash that seemed larger than what he would normally pay someone for such a fight. “Here’s for the victory. But mark my words, my teammates won’t let you get far enough to ‘prove’ you’re strong enough to take us down by yourself. That’s a fool’s dream. If you wanna make it out of here without losing all your Pokemon you need to seriously consider joining or team. Maybe then we’ll let you keep those powerful little bugs of yours.” The grunt smirked, then turned and vanished deeper into the cave. He was obviously going to warn all the other grunts about Shinya before Shinya would have the chance to face them himself.

Even though both Shinya and Yanma heard the grunt's mockery loud and clear, they only glanced at him for a brief moment and scoffing, before they just disregarded his taunts entirely. While Shinya was normally the first one to start throwing insults back at anyone who threw them his way, this particular topic had always been an odd one. Even for him. From the moment he was old enough to understand speech in general, he was able to understand the words of both humans and Pokemon alike. In fact, the first words he ever understood came from the mouths of some of the Pokemon that belonged to some of the Team Skull grunts. At first, Shinya assumed that all humans could understand Pokemon language. As one could imagine, he suffered a lot of confused looks and mockery as a result of this assumption.
As a result, the green-haired trainer eventually made the decision to just ignore anyone who made fun of him for his ability, finding this solution to be much simpler than trying to explain it to other people. Truthfully, even Shinya had no idea why he had this ability or what it was even for, but he didn't hate it. On the contrary, he loved being able to speak with Pokemon, especially his own. When he wasn't able to talk to his Team Skull family about something, his Pokemon would always lend him an ear, listen to his troubles, and attempt to find a solution together with him. So, in response to the Rocket grunt's insults, Shinya simply said the one and only thing he always said to people who insulted his powers. "Tch. Ya wouldn't understand. No humans ever do."
Pokemon sure did though, as Yanma gave her beloved trainer a smile and a quick kiss on the cheek, before taking her usual place on top of his head once more. "Humans might not, but we do, boss. We love ya." The Bug/Flying type said to her trainer, her tone filled with affection. Under normal circumstances, Shinya would've rebuffed these affections, but since the Rocket grunt couldn't understand Yanma's words anyway, the Team Skull grunt smiled too. "Yeah, I know. Thanks, Yanma." Shinya and Yanma's moods only improved when they witnessed Wimpod's victory over Remy, as he hastily cleaned the rodent fur out of his mouth like he did before. "Woohoo! Ya did it, little bro! See?! That wasn't so hard, was it?!" Yanma cheered for her teammate, smiling down at him and flapping her wings rapidly.
"Oh yeah! That's my future ace! I always knew ya had it in ya, Wimpod!" Shinya cheered for the Turn Tail Pokemon as well, grinning down at him and giving him a thumbs up. And as the reality of his first victory sank in, Wimpod found himself smiling too, happier than he had ever been in his entire life at this very moment. "Ha! I...I did it! I really did it!" Still, being the kind of beings they were, Yanma didn't let him enjoy this moment for very long. "Don't get too excited though. It was just a Rattata, ya know." After that, Wimpod slowly calmed down, blushing slightly for getting so worked up in the first place. Fortunately for him, the Rocket grunt quickly gained the attention of the Bug type trainer and his two Pokemon, as he approached and presented Shinya with his winnings, which Shinya quickly accepted.
Shinya, Yanma, and Wimpod all listened to the Rocket grunt's threat, but Shinya once again scoffed at it, watching said grunt run deeper into the Slowpoke Well. "Tch. Join them? Yeah, right. He's got it backwards, guys. By the time we're done, Team Rocket will be ancient history. But hey, I'm a nice enough guy. If they wanna survive, there'll be a place in Team Skull for all of 'em if they want it. Course, they'll have to start at the bottom." The Alolan trainer and the Yanma on his head snickered at that thought, while Wimpod once again found himself hoping that their team actually makes it that far. "And since he's probably gonna warn all his Rocket buddies about us anyway..." Shinya took a deep breath, faced the cavern ahead of him, and yelled as loud as he could into it, informing every single human and Pokemon in the well of his presence right then and there.
"Hey, Rocket chumps! Team Skull is comin' for ya! Ya can run, but ya can't hide! So, get ready to get pwned!" Shinya's voice echoed all the way to the other side of the well, then it all went silent. Still grinning, Shinya called Wimpod back to his Pokeball, and Yanma kept the psychic light in her eyes going, as she and her trainer faced the path ahead of them. "So, Yanma, shall we?" The Team Skull grunt asked his Pokemon a rhetorical question, but she happily played along and answered him. "Like ya have to ask. Let's take 'em all down, boss!" That was exactly what Shinya wanted to hear, and although he didn't like the idea of following the Rocket grunt's lead, he started running down the same path that he took when he made his exit just a few short moments ago. "Damn right we will! When we're done here, Team Rocket will know and fear the name Team Skull!"

Farther down into the cave? well? Shinya's hollering of threat at the Team Rocket faded into the void, but the echoing wasn't for naught as the sound triggered a fluttering of Zubats flying inward toward the inadequately lit atmosphere. The defeated grunt waited until it seemed like the intruder left before calling out his friends for help via his gadgets. "Team Rockets on standby, come in. Team Rockets on standby, come in please!"He immediately got a response from a woman. "Go ahead." She replied, hoping it was a neutral toned news and nothing negative to them. The grunt immediately replied again. "Intruder Alert! Intruder Alert! Some bozo call themselves Team Skull with some bugs just beat me! He has green hair and green pants, and an ugly tee!"The woman sighed, as the Zubat fluttered past her. This meant that the boy would be nearby now, and she would have to be alert to keep the operation going smoothly. "Copy that." She paused, thinking before replying sternly. "I got this. You better start thinking how to tell the boss."She stood as still and quiet as she could, looking around the area to keep an eye on the intruder. How could such a kid bested one of them? But then again, she knew the earlier grunt hadn't been pulling his weight anyways. She's going to show the kid, and the earlier grunt, how to do your job right! ![](https://johtophoto.com/sprites/trainers/rocketgruntf.png) ![](http://serebii.net/heartgoldsoulsilver/pokemon/023-m.png) Grunt #2 was ready for Shinya.

As Shinya's threat echoed off into the cavern and eventually disappeared, he and Yanma recognized the sound of a flock of Zubat fleeing the area in fear. Being that Shinya enjoyed it when other living beings feared him, he smirked as he continued to venture deeper into the cavern. And as the flock of Zubat passed over his head, neither Shinya nor Yanma displayed any fear themselves. A few Zubat did attempt to give them some trouble, but Yanma quickly fought them off with her Psychic attack, all while maintaining her position atop Shinya's head. "That's right! Back off, all of you! Team Skull comin' through! We don't care where ya go, but ya can't stay here!" Shinya snickered at Yanma's behavior, finding it to be very amusing once again, as the wild Zubat soon disappeared as well.
With that, the second Team Rocket grunt and her Ekans came into view, and the Team Skull grunt was quick to engage, grabbing a Sport Ball from his bag and pressing the button on it. "Hey there. Glad to see they sent someone to meet me. Although, I was expectin' more than just one Rocket flunky and her oversized worm. But whatever. If you relics of the past wanna fall one at a time, that suits us just fine. Ain't that right, Shelmet?!" With one good toss, the Bug type trainer sent out his next Bug type Pokemon of choice to face the Rocket grunt's Ekans in battle. Just like always, Shelmet slowly opened up her shell and took a peek at her opponent, but quickly flinched and shrank back into said shell. Clearly, Ekans' Intimidate ability was highly effective.
Seeing this, Yanma let out an exasperated sigh, then looked down at her trainer and questioned him. "Ya want me to handle this one, boss? It's just another Poison type. Shouldn't take me more than one shot." Shinya had considered letting Yanma handle this one too, but he didn't want any weak links on his team. While it was true that Wimpod and Shelmet were cowards, the Alolan trainer knew that if he could get them to evolve, they'd go from being total cowards to total powerhouses. In his head, it was well worth the effort. "Temptin', Yanma. Very temptin'. But nah. We gotta let the little guys have their moments too, ya know. But don't worry. There's still plenty of fun left to be had down here. You'll get another turn soon, I'm sure."
Never one to talk back to her trainer, Yanma gave Shinya a nod and remained atop his head, waiting patiently for her chance to do some damage with plenty of excitement in her glowing eyes. But for the time being, it was Shelmet's turn, and Shinya addressed the Snail Pokemon mere seconds after his little chat with Yanma. "C'mon, Shelmet! Let's not go through this again! I wouldn't ask ya to do this if I didn't think ya could pull it off! Besides, Intimidate only lowers attack power, but you're a special attacker! So, open up and give this worm a taste of your Mud Shot! In fact, give it two!" Shinya may have been a punk, but he still knew a thing or two about Pokemon, having gone through plenty of encounters and experiences with the various wild Pokemon of the Alola region in his life.
The green-haired trainer's pep talk seemed to do the trick, as Shelmet slowly opened up her hard shell and stared up at her serpentine foe from her place on the damp ground. Even though Ekans' Intimidate had done its job, Shelmet's main source of power remained untouched. And with a Ground type attack in her arsenal, she had the clear advantage in this battle. At least, she hoped that would be the case, as she slowly started filled her mouth up with mud. "You're...You're right, boss!...This guy isn't so scary!...I can do this!...Probably..." There was still some very obvious fear in Shelmet's voice, but she fought through it and carried out the orders she was given. Once her mouth was full, she fired all the mud she had built up right at the Rocket grunt's Ekans in one big shot.

The Rocket Grunt growled in a low tone underneath her voice as she awaited Shinya’s inevitable arrival and considered what she would do with the intruder. Obviously, her Executive leader would probably want her to apprehend him in one piece and drag him into a location where he couldn’t go running off and blabbing about the Rockets meddling with the local wildlife in the underground cavern of the Slowpoke Well. A few Slowpoke ambled by looking normal besides the fact that their tails were noticeably way too short for their species, and if the police around Azalea were to catch wind it could ruin everything that they had planned out. As soon as Shinya arrived and greeted her, the red haired grunt pressed on her communication device and barked into it so that the other grunts could listen in. “I’ve spotted the intruder. I will handle him while everyone else helps our boss’ preparations. Don’t disappoint, guys. Over.” She then called out her long, slender purple rattlesnake whose tail tip bounced around as though it were being shaken by a hyperactive infant. The sound reverberated off the walls of Slowpoke Well. “You won’t have the pleasure of meeting the rest of us, kid. 89P13 will make sure you’re put in your place and that you can’t go running off to tell the police, right my precious snake?!” She smirked, nodding her head firmly to her reptilian friend. The toxic snake hissed with a wide smirk that covered its jaw. He coiled himself up and propped his head up high as he sized up the strange, shelled bivalve. “Use Glare and then Bite down on that weak looking bug!” The message came in loud and clear. 89P13’s eyes glowed brightly with an almost sinister look that paralyzed small Shelmet in her place. She struggled through the Ekan’s glaring gaze, though, and spat large chunks of mud at her opponent. “You both look tasssstyyyy” 89P13 hissed at Yanma on Shinya’s head and Shelmet simultaneously, trying to decide who he would eat first. 89P13 shot off the ground and sunk his teeth into Shelmet’s shell, though it was too tough and nearly broke his long fangs. Shelmet’s next wave of mud would knock the snake out cold. “Grrr! You’re really annoying, you know that kid?!” The grunt snapped, recalling her snake and pulling out another Poke Ball to release a strange looking sentient pile of literal slime. “Guess 89Q12 is going to have to teach you a lesson instead! Stop talking to those inferior lifeforms and focus on your opponent instead!” She snapped firmly, as the Grimer stretched itself up tall and wide as though it were turning its body into a literal wall. Her snake wasn’t supposed to lose so easily, and it really scorched her underneath her skin to see this kid making a mockery of everything Team Rocket stood for. There was absolutely no way she’d let him get off easily. Wild Encounter Weather: Cavey [attr="class","qkt-bkgd"] [attr="class","qkt-wild-pkmn"] 89P13 LV 15 HP 0% [0/40]

As the battle got underway, Shinya couldn't help but notice all the tailless Slowpoke's wandering around, and quickly became dumbfounded by this discovery. Not unlike Dopey Pokemon themselves, of course. Still, even though they appeared as though they didn't have a care in the world, Shinya could somehow still tell that these wild Pokemon were unhappy. And while that normally wouldn't matter to the Team Skull grunt in the slightest, there was something about this moment that was different. Even Shinya himself couldn't understand it or put it into words, but something inside him was telling him that this was wrong, and it had to stop. So, as soon as the female Rocket grunt was through running her mouth, Shinya was quick to fire one of his classic retorts at her.
"89P...What the heck does that mean, lady? Is that what ya call your Ekans? Kinda makes me feel sorry for it. It's never gonna make any friends or find a mate with a dumb name like that. Heck, even somethin' simple, like Scales, would be better than whatever the heck all your letters and numbers means." The green-haired trainer questioned his opponent and criticized her naming sense, or lack thereof, in a tone that contained a mixture of confusion and mockery. And he didn't stop there either. "Also, what's up with all the tailless Slowpokes? Look, I get it. They're not playin' with a full deck. Or even half a deck. Maybe not even a quarter of a deck. But cuttin' off their tails? C'mon. That's not cool. Not to mention totally disgustin'. What the heck to ya even do with 'em? Do people seriously pay money for stuff like that?"
And Shinya thought the time some of his fellow Team Skull grunts were tricked into buying "magic" Pokemon food was a waste of money. Still, both Yanma and Shelmet were a bit surprised to hear that their trainer even cared about the wild Slowpoke at all, taking a brief moment to process this realization. Unfortunately for Shelmet, that brief moment was all 89P13 needed to inflict paralysis upon the Snail Pokemon. However, even though Shelmet had trouble even moving after that, the Snake Pokemon turned out to be the truly unfortunate one in this confrontation. With her hard shell protecting her from 89P13's Bite attack, Shelmet gather her strength, as well as a large amount of mud in her mouth, then used both to finish off her opponent and free herself from its jaws. "Ahahahahahahah! Looks like ya should pick your meals a little more carefully from now on, ya overgrown worm! Ahahahahahahah! Shelmet, that was great! Ahahahahahahahah!"
Yanma mocked the defeated Ekans and praised her teammate, all while laughing hysterically at the fact that said Ekans tried to eat Shelmet and wound up not only losing the battle, but almost its fangs as well. However, even though she won the battle, Shelmet wasn't feeling so hot. Between the paralysis and almost getting eaten alive, the pure Bug type could only shake where she stood and plead with her trainer to give her a break. "...Yay...I won...Can I go back to my ball now, boss?...Pretty please?..." After getting in a few chuckles of his own, Shinya chose to grant Shelmet's request, calling her back to her Sport Ball and immediately exchanging it for a new one. "Yeah, yeah. I guess you've done enough for now, Shelmet. Take some down time and try not to make the inside of your shell any wetter than it already is."
But before sending out his next Pokemon of choice, the trainer from Alola watched and listened as the female Rocket grunt snapped at him and sent out her own next Pokemon. "Yeah. I know what I am. What's your point?" Shinya answered her question in a smart mouthed tone of voice, with a smirk to match, clearly very pleased with his handy work in making her lose her cool. But then, as soon as he heard her refer to Pokemon, especially his own, as "inferior lifeforms", Shinya's smirk disappeared from his face completely. And in its place, an expression of displeasure appeared, as Shinya gripped the red and white sphere in his right hand. "Uh oh! Looks like ya made the boss mad! I wouldn't wanna be you right now!" Yanma continued to mock their foes, then couldn't help giggling a bit more, very excited and giddy to see what Shinya would do to the Rocket grunt next.
"So, ya really think Pokemon are inferior to us? That's some backward thinkin' ya got there, skank. Tell me somethin'. Have ya ever met a human that could beat a Pokemon in a battle on their own? Probably not, right? Well then, after we deal with your wall of sludge, why don't we see how ya do against this guy?!" With that, Shinya tossed his next Sport Ball onto the battlefield, and it opened up to reveal Shinya's first and most trusted Pokemon. The Mantis Pokemon, Scyther. "Scyther, cut right through that filth! Use Steel Wing now!" Without even a single shred of mercy in his voice, the Bug type trainer called out his order, and Scyther was quick to respond to it, as well as his trainer's feelings. "Finally my turn then? Good. I've been itchin' to do some damage." Hardening his wings into sharp steel blades, Scyther narrowed his eyes at 89Q12, then took flight, heading straight towards it with absolutely no fear or hesitation. "Let's see which is stronger! Your wall of slime, or my blades of steel!"
