The grunt rolled her eyes, like breeding pokemon were important, like finding a 'mate' was something her pokemon should ever think of. They were her weapons and they should act like so, even though it seemed like 89P13 needed some attitude adjustment if it let itself get distracted like this. "Good, it won't be getting any babies anyway," she sneered, "and why would I call a subject anything stupid like that? It's just for the system to be able to keep track of it." The lab hadn't done a very good job with this one though, but what could she expect? She was still a low grunt and while she knew what was going on, unlike some of the other stupid grunts she was forced to work with, she was not going to get the strongest weapons from the program. The grunt shrugged, "we're just harvesting what other demands. If they want to eat that flobbing fat-filled thing and pays the triple because the public like you don't like it, they are more than welcome. Team Rocket knows how to take advantage and make our own rules," she declared proudly. She was not pleased when the snake failed its task and she tapped her foot while Shinya took his time to chatter with his pokemon. "You don't know your place!" She snapped as reaction to Shinya's bluntly answer to him knowing he was annoying. "You will regret going up against Team Rocket! You won't get out of here in one piece you know," she threatened. Even if he somehow should survive an encounter with their boss leading today's opperation, Team Rocket was on the rise and when they took over, she would make sure that Shinya had seen his last sunrise. She was great at holding grudges. Yanma got no reaction to her mockings, unlike the ekans, the grimer knew to keep its mouth shut. "Don't waste your breath, you sound like an idiot," The female grunt growled at Shinya's speech, "humans have brains, that's why we have made the pokeball and why we catch and use the pokemon, whether they like it or not. They don't have a say in that matter. They don't have a say in where they go, to whom or who to battle. They are our servants because we can, therefore they are inferior."The grunt's Walkie Talkie made a static sound before a voice got through, "Stop the lecture and get rid of him!"She pushed the button as she answered "on it Boss."Scyther soared through the surprisingly large cave, neither the grunt nor the grimer seemed worried. 89Q12 was still stretched out high and was an easy target for Scyther's sharp blades, which cut more or less straight through the pile of sludge. The hole just closed again like nothing had happened and the grimer didn't answer Scyther's verbal challenge, but the grimer was a tad shorter than before with the lost sludge spread out over the cave floor. "Disable," the female grunt grunted and 89Q12's eyes glowed momentarily, Scyther suddenly couldn't remember how he was doing the steel wing attack, he had to use his wings for flight, and they were on his back, so that made it impossible for him to fly, right?

If Shinya was being honest, even he didn't fully understand the reason why he got so mad when the female grunt referred to Pokemon as "inferior creatures". With a mixture of anger and confusion on his face, the green-haired Alolan just stood there for a moment, doing his best to figure this out. Then, as he focused even harder on his own strange emotional state, he suddenly heard an unfamiliar voice in his head, which still somehow felt familiar to him. "Shinya, do not allow yourself to be swayed by the foolishness of this human. You are better than that. I know you are. If you want the power to put a stop to Team Rocket's plans, then all you need do is remember who you are and wish for it." This unfamiliar, yet still familiar voice echoed through Shinya's mind, speaking as if whoever it was knew the Alolan trainer better than he knew himself.
Upon hearing this strange voice, Shinya immediately flinched, looking all around himself for the source while talking out loud without realizing it. "Who's there?! Show yourself! I don't know who the heck ya are but stay outta my head!" The Bug type trainer's voice echoed off into the cave, while Yanma and Scyther looked at their trainer with a mixture of confusion and concern. "Uhhh...Ya okay there, boss? Ya know I love ya, but you're kinda freakin' me out." Yanma was the first to comment on this sudden turn of events, followed by Scyther immediately after. "Boss, the only ones here are you, me, Yanma, this disrespectful Rocket girl, her poorly named Grimer, and the wild Slowpoke. I can assure you that nobody else is here. So, please calm yourself."
The voices of his two Pokemon brought Shinya back to reality right away, as he took a few deep breaths and tried to regain his composure. Still, even in the heat of battle, he could stop thinking about what the voice in his head said to him. Just who was it? How did they know Shinya? Why did it feel so familiar to him? And most importantly, were they right? The Team Skull grunt searched through his own memories as quickly as he could, but only one memory really stood out to him at this time. And it was one from earlier that same day. Back when he fought against Silver in the Union Cave, and the strange new power he wielded back then. Could that have been the power that the voice was talking about? And if so, would Shinya even be able to use it again so soon?
Shinya had no idea, but if it would help him shut Team Rocket down for good, then it was certainly worth a try at least. So, gathering as many memories as he could about the last time he used this power, Shinya face the female Rocket grunt and glared at her, but remained calm and collected at the same time. "So, that's how it is, huh? Ya really believe that we're above Pokemon, do ya? Listen up, ya skank. On some level, I do kind of agree with ya. But even more than that, I gotta say that you Rocket guys are the dumbest pieces of human garbage I've ever crossed paths with. And I've crossed paths with a lot of seriously stupid people in my life." The Team Skull grunt stated in an unyielding, yet still somehow lax tone of voice, thinking back to the time when Team Skull teamed up with the Aether Foundation.
"Yeah, we capture 'em and they do what we say, but if ya really stop and think about it, that basically means that we're worthless without Pokemon. Let's be honest, we've been relyin' on 'em for so long that us humans can't do anythin' for ourselves anymore. And even when someone tries, anythin' they can do, a Pokemon can do better. Not only that, but what if, one day, these guys decide that they wanna be the ones in charge? Tch. Humans wouldn't stand a chance. If someone ticks off the wrong Pokemon, that Pokemon could just flex its muscles, and the dumbass who ticked it off would be gone. These guys were here before us, and if we're not careful, they're gonna be here after us too. Ya Rocket idiots don't even realize it, but you're causin' your own extinction."
"But ya know what? As much as I'd love to see your whole organization destroyed, it's gonna suck if I'm not the one who destroys it! Ya may not think much of what I'm sayin', or that Team Skull is a threat to ya at all, but I'm takin' this team into the future! And it starts with respect! I've got nothin' but respect for my big bro, but he was defeated because he didn't have enough of it for his own Pokemon! I won't make the same mistakes he did! My Pokemon and I are takin' all of you Rocket chumps down! And we'll do it together!" As he made his heartfelt declaration, Shinya's hair and eyes suddenly lit up in a massive burst of energy. The same energy and light they gave off during Shinya's bout with Silver back in the Union Cave.
Yanma and Scyther were forced to avert their gaze for a moment, but once their eyes adjusted to the light, both Bug types looked at their trainer in awe, remembering this from before, as the power flowed from Shinya and into their bodies as well. "You did it, boss! I have no idea what you did exactly, but you did it! Oh my Arceus! This energy feels so warm!" Yanma stated with a big smile on her face, more comfortable than ever in her spot on top of Shinya's head. "It's even stronger than before! I've never felt such power! With this, we can't lose! Whatever you're doing, keep it up, boss!" Scyther was next, gaining a grin of his own, as he faced the female grunt and her Sludge Pokemon, waiting for Shinya's next command. "Okay, I've still got no idea what this is, but damn! I've never felt so strong! I've got your back, Scyther! Let's shut this skank up for good! Use Pursuit!" With a big grin spread across his head, Shinya gave the Mantis Pokemon his next command, as the energy flowed from trainer to Pokemon with every word he spoke.

"Oh my Giratina. You talk so much! I think you're wasting your potential working in Team Skull, kid. Maybe you can be a motivational speaker or a teacher?" The grunt yawned, sounding annoyed by Shinya's passionate talking. "Blah, blah, blah. Is Team Skull a death cult thinking about the apocalypse? Sympathy for Pokemon? I think my colleague knows of a different Team with similar goal somwhere. Come up with something original. You can keep dreaming, isn't it past your bed time, kid?" One could feel she rolled her eyes as the talker yapping her ears off. If she wanted to hear a lecture, she can hear it from her boss herself! "Alright, I had enough of you. Use Sludge!" The woman folded her arms and stood her back straight. The flying mantis zoomed forward, striking the Grimer before it could make a move. Then, the sentient sludge blob pile turned around and hurled a flurry of foul smelling sludge at the Scyther. The bug was covered by the nasty sludge, and looked ill in the face as the poisoning effect set in. Although it's dark to see in the cave, the grunt's face lit up a smile seeing the Scyther was poisoned. Well, at least the Grimer might be somewhat useful!

Even in the face of such insulting and belittling words, Shinya's grin never faded from his face, as the power coursing through his veins continued to surge. It was almost as if Shinya had become immune to insults. Almost. "Haha! Say whatever the heck ya want, ya piece of trash! Your words, your poison, your whole damn organization! It's all worthless! Can't ya see?! Or have ya been down in the dark so long that my light is blindin' ya?!" The trainer from Alola yelled out with plenty of energy in his voice, as his hair and eyes continued to shine brilliantly in the darkness of the Slowpoke Well. It was so bright that Yanma didn't even need to use her psychic powers to light their way anymore. Not that it would've been an issue for her, as Shinya's energy restored her spent energy all the way back up to the top.
There was no doubt that all this yelling and glowing had already alerted the other Team Rocket members present in this cavern of their presence, but Shinya and his Pokemon were so charged on his energy that they didn't care one bit. The energy felt so amazing to them, that even Scyther, who had just been poisoned, was acting as though he didn't feel a thing. "Keep it coming, boss! The pain from their attack is already gone! I feel like I can do anything!" The Mantis Pokemon shouted out after shaking all the toxic sludge off of his body, raising his blades, flapping his wings rapidly, and grinning right along with his trainer. On the flipside, the female Rocket grunt's Grimer wasn't looking so hot. Shinya didn't need any mysterious powers to tell that one more hit would be all she wrote for this battle.
"Do it then, Scyther! Use Pursuit again! Finish these scrubs off! And give 'em some Team Skull hospitality while you're at it!" The Team Skull grunt gave Scyther his final orders for this bout, and both he and Yanma knew what he meant by "hospitality", causing the Clear Wing Pokemon to giggle in anticipation. "Oh yeah! I like that idea! Hit 'em right where it hurts, Scyther! Give us a good show!" Yanma cheered her friend and teammate on, very excited for the big closing act of the performance, so to speak. And just to make sure that he'd get the job done, Shinya was able to focus his newfound energy just enough to channel even more of it into Scyther's body for a not-so-little extra kick. As that energy filled every last inch of Scyther's body, he glanced at his trainer and comrade, giving them a quick nod.
"Just be careful not to blink. I don't want you to miss it." With that, Scyther made full use of his increased power, moving as such a high speed that he vanished from sight in an instant. From there, it all went silent, as neither the female grunt nor her poorly named Sludge Pokemon had any idea of where or when Scyther's attack would come for them. Suddenly, from out of the shadows, the Mantis Pokemon appeared directly behind 89Q12, ready to make his move. But the Bug/Flying type didn't stop there. Once he was sure that the Poison type had been dealt with, Scyther disappeared from sight yet again, using his blades to deliver several good slashing attacks to the female grunt herself before reappearing behind her. At first, it looked like Scyther hadn't done anything to her at all.
But then, in the blink of an eye, the female Rocket grunt's hat was reduced to ribbons, and every single strand of hair on her head was cut clean off, leaving her completely bald. Thanks to the light of Shinya's hair and eyes, both he and Yanma were able to get a good long look at Scyther's handy work, as said light now bounced off of the female grunt's newly shinned dome. "Ahahahahahahahahah! Excellent work, Scyther! That's extra dessert for ya tonight! Ahahahahahahahahah! So, what do ya have to say now, baldy?! Have fun explainin' this to all your fellow Team Rocket scrubs! Ahahahahahah!" Staying true to his nature, Shinya burst into a fit of laughter, but was still able to praise Scyther and insult the now bald Team Rocket grunt. "Ahahahahahahahahah! Ya should've kept your big mouth shut! If ya had, you'd still have lost the battle, but at least you'd still have your hair! Ahahahahahahahah!" Yanma laughed hysterically right along with Shinya, adding to the mockery, even if the female grunt couldn't understand a single word she said.

“Hey?! We’re hearing a lot of commotion coming from your area. Is everything ok? Over.” The female grunt rolled her eyes and huffed annoyedly underneath her breath. They were always butting into her battles whenever she had everything completely under control. Part of her mind tugged and warned her that she should call them over to help her with this twerp. But why would she do that? “Everything’s fine over here. Just dealing with the trespasser, shouldn’t take much longer.” The red-haired grunt pulled her communication device off her belt and informed them with a loud sigh. Now to deal with this twerp. “89Q12, it’s time to show them we mean business! Use another wave of Sludge and don’t let them get the upper hand! Attack first, attack hard, and don’t stop until they’re no longer moving!” She snapped angrily. The dopy looking pile of sentient slime nodded his head and rose up tall like an impenetrable wall. When Scyther rushed 89Q12 from behind, he squealed out in pain and shrank down to nearly half his original size, before collapsing on the rocky ground in a fainted heap. “Grrr! 89Q12, you’re so useless! I knew I should have brought 89T54 with me on this mission!” The grunt complained underneath her breath. When Scyther slashed all of her hair of her head, the grunt gasped loudly and reached her hand up to her head. She touched it all over feeling only tiny patches where her once perfect red locks used to sit. Angrily, she pulled out a wad of cash and tossed it down at Shinya’s feet – though it seemed like she was looking for something else entirely instead of her trying to pay him fairly. “My hair! What have you done?!” The one redhaired grunt bellowed at the top of her lungs, causing an echo to reverberate off the rocky walls. “I won’t have to explain anything when our Executive whoops your butt! And I hope you never cross my path again…OR SO HELP ME!” She huffed angrily, before turning on the tips of her toes and stormed off. “Stupid glow-in-the-dark scrub of a wanna be criminal organization. ‘Skull’? Who names themselves something so silly. What’s next? Team Elbow? Hah!” The Grunt muttered loudly underneath her breath as she stormed off. "Second thought, send all the backup you can spare!" She called back over her communication device to the other Rocket members further down the cave. ![](http://play.pokemonshowdown.com/sprites/bwani/scyther.gif) Scyther gained 1 level.

"Oh! I'm so scared! NOT!" Shinya declared in a sarcastic tone of voice, as he and Yanma finally stopped laughing. As Shinya had stated several times before, he wasn't leaving until every single Team Rocket member in the Slowpoke Well had been dealt with. Naturally, that also included the executive this female grunt spoke of. And even though he could tell that it wasn't meant for him, the Team Skull grunt still bent over and helped himself to the cash that the angry Rocket grunt threw at him, never one to turn down free money. After putting it away, Shinya called Scyther back to his Sport Ball for some rest, knowing that he'd need it after getting poisoned. "C'mon back, Scyther. You've done enough for now." Even with all the extra power he got from Shinya's awakening, the Bug type trainer knew better than to push his Pokemon too hard.
And speaking of his awakening, Shinya's hair and eyes continued to shine brilliantly in the darkness, despite the fact that the battle was now over. Not that Shinya was complaining, of course. This just meant that his next battle would be that much simpler and more enjoyable. At least, both he and Yanma hoped that would be the case. But before moving on, both trainer and Pokemon couldn't help overhearing yet another round of disrespectful comments from the female Rocket grunt as she attempted to make her escape. With mischievous smirks on their faces, Shinya and Yanma weren't about to let this offense slide, figuring that this Rocket grunt still had yet to learn her lesson.
So, without even needing to be told, Yanma used her Psychic attack on the female grunt, holding her in place and preventing her from moving any part of her body. Once she was immobilized, Shinya slowly approached her, maintaining his smirk and speaking to her in a very condescending tone. "Tsk, tsk, tsk. Still haven't learned your lesson, huh? That really is a shame. Ya really don't think we can do anything worse to ya, don't ya? Well, I got news for ya, skank. Things can always get worse." After finishing up another round of witty banter, the Alolan trainer withdrew a lone marker from his bag. A permanent marker. Then, with said marker in hand, Shinya removed the cap and began to doodle all over the Rocket grunt's newly bald scalp.
"And...done! What do ya think, Yanma? Too much? Too little?" Once his work was complete, Shinya asked Yanma for her input, sounding very pleased with his little art project himself. Upon the bald Rocket grunt's scalp, Shinya had written the words "TEAM SKULL RULES!!!" in big bold letters, followed by Team Skull's symbol right beside those words. Sure, he knew her hair would grow back eventually, but she'd have to live with his handy work on top of her head for the rest of her life. And that knowledge alone would destroy her inside. While still holding said grunt in place and waiting for the ink to dry completely, Yanma admired Shinya's work, nodded her head, and gave her honest opinion of it.
"It looks excellent, boss! I had no idea you had so much artistic potential! Your talents really are endless, aren't they?!" The Clear Wing Pokemon complimented her trainer's artwork, then giggled some more, unable to help herself. Although Shinya normally didn't care much for suck ups, he still appreciated the honest opinion of his Pokemon, snickering a bit himself as well. "Thank ya kindly, Yanma. Now then, as fun as this is, we should be gettin' a move on. There's still so much more fun to be had down here." With that, the glowing trainer put the marker away, turned away from the female Rocket grunt, then ventured further into the Slowpoke Well, but not before sending one last remark the female grunt's way. "See ya later, skank! And I definitely wouldn't wanna be ya!" Shinya and Yanma laughed some more, as Yanma released the Rocket grunt from her psychic hold once she was out of sight.

There was no shortage of Rocket Grunts for Shinya to bully and berate, though in this case the behavior was pretty universally warranted given the Rockets' deeds and the now-bald Grunt's attempts to threaten and harass. Shinya would be unimpeded as he left the bald grunt to figure out her life. As the Psychic abilities preventing her from defending herself against the juvenile prank faded away, her frustrated wailing and groaning could be heard. She'd be the laughingstock of Team Rocket, now. Unfortunately, she had at least gotten the chance to get off her warning on the Grunts' communication system, meaning that the Executive and whatever Grunts remained within the Well were likely expecting Shinya sooner or later. Coming from the opposite direction was another Grunt, another female one, though she was walking in a much grumpier manner. Hands in her pockets and a pout across her face, she would much rather be back at the base camp with everyone else, watching Proton. If she ever wanted a chance to work with Proton again or any chance to get closer to him, she needed to be doing something a bit more glamorous than cleaning up the others' screw ups and kicking out intruders. "Dang it Ashley, could you not handle one intruder?" she grumbled, coming up on Shinya and Yanma as they were seeking out the rest of the Rockets. "Oh guess you're the kid, huh? Can't believe those two clowns we left at the entrance couldn't handle one kid and his pet bugs," she sighed, retrieving her own Poke Ball and sending out her partner. A Murkrow came out, flying in circles around the Grunt before hovering in the air between the two opposing Grunts. It was pretty clear that she wasn't about to let Shinya through without some kind of fight, especially when she could use it as a chance to make herself look good in front of Proton. ![](https://johtophoto.com/sprites/trainers/rocketgruntf.png) ![](http://serebii.net/heartgoldsoulsilver/pokemon/198-m.png) Yet another Rocket Grunt is looking to block Shinya's way!

With Shinya's hair and eyes still surging with power and glowing the way they were, it would be next to impossible for the Alolan trainer to get the drop on any other Team Rocket members that were still lurking about. Fortunately, Shinya didn't care about such things. Nor did the Clear Wing Pokemon on top of his head. In fact, the two of them relished the idea of getting to battle, beat, and humiliate more members of the evil organization. So, since stealth was a complete waste of time and energy on both sides of this turf war, Shinya and Yanma decided to rap the Team Skull theme song out loud once again, as they continued to venture further and further into the Slowpoke Well. Their voices echoed through the damp cavern, but the Bug type pair stopped rapping the moment they laid eyes on their next opponent, a pair of smirks appearing on their faces immediately after.
"Well now, looks like the grunts haven't had enough punishment yet. What do ya think we should do to this one, Yanma?" Shinya asking the Bug/Flying type on his head in a devious tone of voice, already very much looking forward to another round of "Humiliate My Foe". "Hmmm...Oh! Oh! I know! Let's glue one of those Slowpoke Tails to her lower back! Then she'll be even more dopey than the Slowpoke that live here!" Yanma gave her trainer the first idea that popped into her head, then giggled at the thought of it, sounding quite pleased with herself for it. Shinya couldn't help snickering a little himself, finding Yanma's suggestion to be more than a little amusing. "Not a bad idea, Yanma. But let's see what this broad gives us to work with. Ya never know. Somethin' she says or does might make for an even better idea."
So, before saying or doing anything else, Shinya and Yanma looked over at the next female grunt, listened to what she had to say, and saw her Pokemon of choice for this bout. "How many other intruders do ya think you've got down here? Then again, with how easy it was to get past those last two chumps, I wouldn't be surprised if it turned out there were a few more floatin' around." Like always, the Team Skull grunt couldn't resist taking a moment to belittle the Rocket grunt. But still, her Pokemon partner did present a bit of a problem for him and his team. As a Flying type, Murkrow had the clear advantage over Shinya's team of Bug type Pokemon. Not only that, but at this point, half of his team was looking a little worse for wear.
Wimpod, Shelmet, and Scyther had all sustained injuries from their respective battles. Plus, Shelmet was suffering from paralysis, and Scyther had been poisoned. Sure, Shinya's mysterious power did give them an edge, but if they wanted any chance of winning this battle, he had to go with somebody fresh. Luckily, the green-haired trainer still had a pair of trump cards for dealing with Flying type Pokemon, reaching for one of them and throwing it onto the battlefield. "It's your turn to play! Don't let us down, Joltik!" From the red and white orb, a small but very energetic Pokemon appeared, and as soon as Shinya's energy flowed into her body, her own energy soared even higher.
"Woah! Woah! Woah! Where the heck are we! What is this place?! It's so dark! OH! But you're so bright, boss! How are you doing that?! How?! How?! How?! How?! How?!" The Attaching Pokemon skittered all around as she spoke with high levels of energy in her voice, moving from one area to another in the blink of an eye. Although Shinya found Joltik's antics to be quite amusing, almost as amusing as Yanma's in fact, they had a battle to win. "Talk later! Fight now, Joltik! Go show that chicken what the inside of two Electrowebs looks like!" Pointing up at the female Rocket grunt's Murkrow, Shinya gave Joltik her orders, and with her massive energy levels, she was quick to carry them out. "Oh yeah! I see! I see! I'm all over it, boss! Be sure to watch me, okay?!" Skittering right up the side of the cavern wall and getting directly above the Darkness Pokemon, Joltik quickly spun a pair of Electrowebs and threw them both down at the Dark/Flying type.

"That is none of your business! You don't need to know that information!" The female grunt replied with a stern voice, refusing to give Shinya the answer he was looking for. When the opponent sent out a rather small bug Pokemon, the grunt groaned. "Ugh, you and your little bugs. Why don't you go join Bugsy's fan club instead of crawling down this hole. There is like no bugs here.""Murkrow, swat it with a Wing Attack!" She called out her next move. The Pokemon cawed and flew straight toward the Joltik, giving it no chance to escape from the heavy wing slapping. Then, the electric bug spit out a sticky web charged with electricity at the Murkrow flying away. The Murkrow cawed in pain as the web shocked its system, and after struggling for freedom from the web, its muscle was tired and could feel itself going slower. "Don't let that little bug get the best of you! Use another Wing Attack!" She hollered with hope that her flying type Pokemon won't be beaten by a bug type. Sadly, the second electroweb sent the sluggish Murkrow down for the count. "Drats!" She threw her hands in the air when her Pokemon fainted. "Boss, I am sorry to let you down. This kid has a Joltik!" She spoke to her walkie to this mysterious boss. "He got Scyther and Shelmet too!" The previous grunt spoke in walkie, passing on intel. "And this one called 'Wimpod' or something." The very first grunt spoke again from the walkie. What would await Shinya and this mysterious boss? Soon he would found out deeper in this well.

At first, Shinya only chuckled when he heard the first batch of words that came from the lips of the female Rocket grunt, grinning his usual grin at her as he retorted. "Wow, you Rocket guys are dumb. It was a rhetorical question, scrub. In truth, I don't care." And even though she was in the midst of battle, Joltik had more than enough energy to spare on a quick little retort of her own, even though she knew that the Rocket grunt couldn't understand her the way Shinya could. "Yeah! Yeah! The boss has got better things to worry about than second rate has-beens like you losers!" The small Bug/Electric type giggled triumphantly at her own taunts, but still made sure to keep at least half of her eyes on her opponent the entire time.
"Has-beens? Uhhh, I think ya mean "never were", Joltik. Why don't you Rocket chumps get yourselves a real rocket and fly to the moon?! Maybe you'll have more luck conquerin' a smaller floatin' rock with no one on it!" Yanma playfully corrected her companion's taunt, then shot one of her own at the female grunt and her Dark/Flying type, giggling even more triumphantly than Joltik just did afterwards. Even Shinya found himself chuckling even more at the clever quips that came from his beloved Bug type Pokemon, but that came to an end as soon as the female grunt opened her mouth up again. At that point, the Team Skull grunt scoffed, but still never lost his grin, quick witted with yet another retort.
"Bugsy?! That joke is so funny I forgot to laugh! That little waste of a trainer is nothin' but a pretender playin' little Pokemon games! You're comparin' us to him?! Please! Bugsy wishes he was good enough to cater our parties! Not that he'll ever get the chance! Once' we're done with you Rocket scrubs, that pathetic insult to Bug type Pokemon is next! Team Skull with destroy all of ya! Ya hear me?!" Shinya's voice once again echoed through the Slowpoke Well, as his hair and eyes shinned even brighter while he shouted out his declaration. And all that extra power went straight into Joltik's tiny body, which she put to good use without missing a beat, ending the battle with her victory.
After that, Shinya, Yanma, and Joltik all noticed the female Rocket grunt talking into her walkie, acting like the three of them weren't even there. A very foolish and dangerous mistake to make, as Shinya approached her from behind, grabbed the walkie right out of her hand, and talked into it himself. "Not sorry to interrupt, but I'm comin' for you next, boss man. Ya can try to run if ya want, or ya can stay and fight, and we'll show ya what Team Skull is all about. See ya soon." Having made his threat, the Alolan trainer crushed the walkie in his grip, destroying the communication device and cutting off any hope of the female grunt calling for help. Which she was about to need. Desperately.
"Joltik, spin us one more Electroweb. Make sure this skank is wrapped up good and tight." Shinya gave Joltik the order, then chuckled some more as he walked away from the female grunt and further into the well. "As you wish, boss! I suggest ya grit your teeth, skank! This is gonna sting! A lot!" With that, the Attaching Pokemon quickly spun another huge web of electrically charged threads, throwing it right at the female Rocket grunt. With her trapped inside, the web stuck to the damp walls of the Slowpoke Well, giving her a good shock as she hung their helplessly and could only wait for anyone to let her down. And with Joltik's work now complete, she skittered over to Shinya and Yanma, crawled up Shinya's body, and took her place upon his right shoulder, as the trio ventured even deeper into the cavern, preparing to take on the leader of this ragtag group of Rocket scrubs.

The female grunt growled and tried to bang against the electric webs that trapped her. The lightning from the moves zapped her skins, burning them slightly where they touched. She jumped back from the electricity and pulled out some rubber shoes to protect her feet but cursed herself for not carrying an accompanying matching set of gloves to help her possibly escape. “You’ll rue the day you messed with us when the boss gets through with you!” As Shinya turned away and walked off to find her boss, though, The grunt would continue yelling at him. This time with a bit more desperation in her voice. “Hey, wait!” She screamed, stomping her feet. “You can’t just leave me like this!” The Executive growled as he listened to this hot headed kid threaten him through his grunt’s walkie talkie. This kid would regret running into his criminal organization and messing with his team members. His Boss would have their heads if he allowed some snot-nosed child to waltz in here and defeat them like they were nothing. “There’s no running, kid!” He snapped through the walkie talkie, before hearing a strange sound as Shinya crumbled it up like it was nothing. “I’ll make sure you pay for your transgressions!” He continued, unaware that his words would never reach them. He would also make his underling pay for allowing someone to take her walkie talkie and speak freely to him. As Shinya headed to meet with the Executive, he hurried along the way too. He wanted to see just what was so scary about some Bugsy inspired trainer that all his previous lackeys were defeated one after the other. Were they just letting the kid leave and come back freely after a visit to the Pokecenter? Were they not paying attention in battle and using their most useless moves? If you wanted something done right….when he ran into Shinya, the Executive quickly pulled out a Poke Ball and enlarged it with the click of a button. “This is where your shenanigans ends, child.” Proton spat out ‘child’ like an insult meant to sting the shining boy who could light up the darkest depths of the cave on his own. “Zubat, let’s show them what we’re made of, alright?” He snapped, pointing towards Shinya as the bat appeared and fluttered about with loud, excited chirps. Executive Proton challenges Shinya! He sends out his Level 21 Zubat. Who will Shinya use? Venominon oops fixed lol. I keep thinking of Venom whenever I mod you so I have to keep reminding myself when it's Shinya, lol.

"Yeah, yeah! Doom and despair! Yadda, yadda, yadda!" Shinya yelled back to the female grunt in a very sarcastic and belittling tone of voice, but continued to venture further into the well while doing so and didn't turn towards her. However, he and his two female Bug types did get a chuckle when they heard the sounds of the Rocket grunt getting zapped by Joltik's webs, crying out in pain, and pleading for their aid. "Sure, we can! But don't worry! I'm sure the cops will be here soon! They'll probably let ya out! Have fun explainin' to 'em who ya are and what you've been doin' down here though! I'm sure they'll get a real kick out of it!" The green-haired trainer yelled back to the female grunt once more before she was out of earshot, followed by another round of mocking laughter from said green-haired trainer, the Clear Wing Pokemon, and the Attaching Pokemon. From there, Shinya and the rest of his team were approaching the end of the Slowpoke Well, at least according to the map on Shinya's Pokegear. All three of them smirked when they heard the voice that could only have belonged to the executive that they had heard so much about, hearing right away that he was far from the calm and collected demeanor that one would expect from a leader. Of course, that was through the walkie talkie before the Team Skull grunt crushed it in his grip. Still, that was all the indication that they needed to see that they were already winning the mental game, but it never hurts to be a little extra prepared. "Who's runnin'?! Didn't ya hear me?! Or have ya gone senile in your old age, ya relic of the past?! We're comin' for you now, old man! Ready or not! Here comes Team Skull!"The young man from Alola yelled into the cavern, hoping that the Team Rocket executive would hear him loud and clear. All the while, Shinya's hair and eyes were shinning even more brilliantly than the moon outside the damp, dark well. Which wasn't all that dark, actually. At least not where Shinya was. It was almost poetic. Proton ran as fast as he could towards the light, and that light would also prove to be the source of his end. Although, Shinya doubted that this man would see any lights when he finally did meet his end. Putting that aside, the Bug type trainer and his two female bugs came face-to-face with their final opponent of the day, and while Shinya was still smirking, he didn't much care for the executive's choice of words. "This "child" is about to kick your arse, old man. With some help from these two lovely young ladies, of course." Shinya gestured to the pair of Bug types on his head and right shoulder, causing both of them to blush and smile at their own boss as a result. "Awwww. You're such a charmer, boss." Yanma stated in a loving tone, as she nuzzled her head into Shinya's glowing hair, and Joltik nuzzled her small head into Shinya's right cheek. However, the love fest came to an end once they saw Proton's first Pokemon, and Shinya quickly rolled his glowing eyes in response. "Another Zubat? Seriously? I'd make a comment about how you guys should get some new material or somethin', but even that's startin' to feel overplayed. Movin' on, who wants this one, girls?"The Team Skull grunt questioned his two Pokemon, knowing full well that either one of them could easily deal with something as basic as a Zubat of all Pokemon. "Oh! Oh! Me! Pick me! Pick me! They won't know what hit 'em! Put me in, boss! Pretty please!" Even though she had taken some damage during their last battle, Joltik was still as hyperactive as ever, responding to Shinya's question a split second after he asked it. "It's okay with me, boss. If this old guy is the leader of this sorry excuse for grunts, then he's probably got more than one Pokemon anyway. I'll take the next one." Yanma quickly commented, assuring Shinya in a friendly tone of voice with a smile on her face. After giving the Bug/Flying type a nod of approval, Shinya glanced at Joltik and gave the Bug/Electric type her first order of their final battle of the day. "Well, ya heard her, Joltik! Go get 'em! Flyin' types are nothin' to ya! So, show these relics what Team Skull is made of! 'Cause it's a heck of a lot more than just bones! Use Electroweb! Two of 'em! Back-to-back!" Shinya's glow got even brighter, as the power once again filled Joltik's tiny body, causing her own hair and eyes to shine in the darkness. "Heck yeah! Round two! Let's get it on! This one's all mine! Mine! Mine! Mine!" Joltik quickly skittered down Shinya's body, then up onto a cavern wall, repeating the actions that won her the battle against Murkrow. Once she was on the roof of the cavern, she quickly spun a pair of massive, electrically charged webs, before dropping them right down onto Proton's Zubat. If this worked, this battle may just turn out exactly the same as the bout against Murkrow did. OOC: Running Shoes used. Also, Caramell 🍬, ya accidentally typed "Venom" in the final line of your post, but Venom's not here. lol

"You can call me old man if you want, but you're immature and know nothing of this world! Team Rockets is more established than this Team Skull of yours. I'll take your imitation as flattery!" Proton shook his head and then smirked. "What's wrong with Zubat? You look down on them or something? You might like bugs and all, but other Pokemon have their uses.""Zubat, use Confuse Ray on this little bugger! It's probably got smaller brains than the kid!" He hollered his immediate command. The Joltik fired off her first electro-web, trapping the Zubat and stunned its small body. The flying rodent struggled until its muscles were tired and freed itself. Then, the bat emitted a strangely pitched frequency to make the Joltik feel funny. It crawled and looked disoriented. "Ha, now your little bug looked like it's spinning in circles! Just like when you run your mouth spinning your imagination!" Proton laughed, pointing at the Joltik. "NOW Zubat, give it an Air Cutter!"The Zubat flapped its wings and tried to give the Joltik an air cutter, but the crawling bug retaliated with a quick Electro-web of her own, halting the air cutters and then trapping the Zubat, shocking it until it passed out from exhaustion. "Heh, I am not done yet! Koffing, We're give you some laughing gas so you can laugh at your own play pretend!" He swapped his Pokemon, determined.

"Yeah, sure they are. For now." Shinya once again shot a retort right back at Proton, speaking in a sarcastic tone at first, but changing his tone into one of seriousness at the end of his statement. Shinya vowed that Team Skull would eventually overthrow Team Rocket, all the while grinning, as his hair and eyes continued to light up the dark cavern. "No duh! Even three-year-olds know that, gramps. But you're supposed to be an executive, aren't ya? Do ya seriously not have anythin' better than a Zubat on hand, even for your top ranked members? Ya say that Team Rocket is still alive and kickin', and yet ya can't do better than one of the most common Pokemon in the world." "If your little group really is still as big as ya say, then ya must be just like the Zubats y'all seem to love so much. Nothin' but a swarm of wimps who only know how to hide in the shadows." The Alolan trainer continued to mercilessly mock the Team Rocket executive, and from the looks of the battle, Joltik was just as merciless as her trainer was. Even in her confused state. Once the electrically charged webs had trapped and finished off Proton's Zubat, both Shinya and Yanma couldn't hold in their laughter, while Joltik continued to stumble all around, with all four of her eyes spinning uncontrollably. "Ahahahahahahahahah! Ya see that, old man?! I'd say my analysis of your flyin' rat was perfectly accurate! Ahahahahahahahah!""Ahahahahahahahah! I guess it's true what they say, boss! The leader of a team of losers is an even bigger loser! Ahahahahahahahah!" Yanma piled on in between her fits of laughter, once again proving that she really was just like the trainer she loved so very much. The Bug type trainer and Pokemon only stopped their laughter to give their friend and teammate a hand, calling Joltik back to her Pokeball for some well-earned rest. And to eliminate the effects of the confusion, of course. "Joltik, I love ya so much. Take a good, long rest. We'll finish things up from here." Shinya put the Attaching Pokemon's Pokeball back into his bag, then turned to face Proton once again, as the executive called out his second and final Pokemon. "So, now it's a Koffin'? Hmph. Better, but still nowhere near good enough to challenge Team Skull. Yanma, you're up. Go destroy these chumps so we can finally get outta this place." The Team Skull grunt glanced at the Clear Wing Pokemon atop his head as soon as he was through addressing the Team Rocket executive, and she looked right back down at him with a smile on her face, spreading her wings and flying off of his head to meet her foe in battle. "Easy peasy, boss! Just say the word and I'll blow 'em all the way out of the well!" With the unknown power still flowing from Shinya's body, and Yanma's Psychic attack at the ready, victory was all but assured for the Bug type duo. However, just before Shinya gave the order to attack, both his hair and eyes suddenly stopped glowing, and the flow of energy came to a grinding halt. Naturally, this left both Shinya and Yanma very shocked and confused, as the Slowpoke Well grew very dark once again, and they both took a moment to process this. "Uhhh...Boss, what happened to your power?" Yanma turned her head and questioned her trainer, still able to see him through the darkness with her Compound Eyes ability. "I...have no idea." Shinya admitted, then tried everything he could think of in a short period of time to turn his mysterious powers back on. He even tried talking to the strange voice in his head that he heard earlier when his powers first activated. "Hey! Hello! Mysterious voice! Ya there?! C'mon! I know you're there! Answer me damn it! What the heck is goin' on?!" The green-haired young man's voice echoed through the well, filled with confusion and frustration. Unfortunately, no matter how much he yelled, he never got an answer. Or even a little flicker of the power he had been wielding for the past few battles. "Rgh!...Oh, just forget it! Whoever you are, we don't need ya anyway! Yanma, use Psychic now!" After letting out a frustrated sigh, Shinya finally gave Yanma her orders, as both of them refocused themselves on the battle at hand. "Weird powers or none, I've got this, boss! Just leave it to me!" Yanma turned back towards Proton and his Koffing, then both of her eyes lit up with powerful Psychic energy, all aimed right at the Poison Gas Pokemon. OOC: I've seen worse, Tiki. Believe me. ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/2475952/images/AxxP4GtfdVgLAsKwdyAD.png) And I'll pass on having Joltik learn Agility. Thanks.

"Haha" Proton laughed sarcastically along with the child. "Other Pokemon have more values, and that's all I can say. Use your big brain to put two and two together. Well, I hope you know how to do math.""I wouldn't call it hiding in the shadows. Some people just work better and see better without the glaring light. It's more like working behind the scenes. We're working behind the scenes to create the stage for Team Rockets. You better get ready because the show's about to start soon!" He replied with a smirk on his face. He shook his head as Shinya kept on blabbering. "Team Skull this, Team Skull that. I want you to remember that nobody in Team Rockets have time to challenge your little one man team. You're the one trespassing into our territory. If you so want a challenge from Team Rocket, why don't you build your team and then wait for an official challenge like normal?"He was beginning to wonder if this kid was going crazy as he was talking to himself now. "I think the one who needs a psychic is you! Koffing, use Sludge!" The bug type's eyes glowed bright at the same time the Koffing glowed bright. Then, it dropped on the ground from the intense emotional damage. Coming from behind was Kurt with his arm on a shoulder of a police. He called out to Shinya. "Kid, thank you for your help to take down Team Rocket! I hope you'll change your mind and care about Azalea Town and everyone who lives here! Here's a Lure Ball if you want to catch the Totodile!"Proton ran as soon as he saw the police helping Kurt clutching and walking toward them. He ran past some imprisoned Slowpokes and a lone Totodile, who had its eyes set on Shinya after such impressive battle. Perhaps, the trainer could use the Lure Ball on the Totodile!
