"A crime against humanity? Bah. Slowpoke tails grow back and they barely feel pain, they're so stupid, so why get all huffy with me?" The grunt snarked back. She didn't seem to realize that she just mouthed off about their plan of operations down here, but then again, did it really matter? If he was sneaking around, clearly he had caught wind of the slowpoke tail collecting operation down here and decided to go all 'pokemon welfare' obsessed. She did sneer as Delta was knocked out by that poliwag. That burst of bubbles slammed into the grimer and sent the sludge reeling into a puddle. Useless. At least she'd poisoned the annoying thing. "Alpha, you're up!" The ekans returned to its mistress' side with one last hiss at Mako as she returned the grimer to its ball. "This isn't over, punk. You're not getting out of here in one piece, that's for sure," she said, a bit of steel in her eyes and voice. This was indeed a Rocket with a little more brains and a lot more guts than most. Perhaps it was her more impulsive nature that was both a boon and what held her back from progression. She picked up on the poliwag being a trainer pokemon quickly, but she ran her mouth about the slowpoke deal, clearly confident in either her assumptions or that her foe wouldn't be in any shape to talk about it later.

In responding to Tristan calling her out, the female team rocket grunt allowed her emotions to get the better of her as she divulged the truth as to what was taking place in Slowpoke Well. A smirk was etched all over the teenage male's face as he listened to the clear admission of guilt as to the criminal operation that was taking place. Tristan wondered if he had given the female grunt too much credit on the intellect side of things. On the action side of things, Atlanna's latest Bubblebeam attack had enough power to put an end to the rocket grunt's Grimer as the sludge pokemon reeled into a puddle, unable to continue battling. Atlanna looked proud of herself for being victorious, it had been a fruitful experience for the ever improving Poliwag, Tristan acknowledged her hard work
"Well done Atlanna, have a rest girl!"
Atlanna was returned inside of her pokeball by Tristan, there was a high likelihood that she would be required to play a role in upcoming battles that Tristan and his team may face in the well. Mako was rip, raring and ready to absolutely savage the Ekans that had threatened to make a meal out of him. Had Tristan decided against utilizing Mako for the next leg of the battle, the piranha pokemon would be just as likely to disobey anything and everything that was asked of him,
"Righto Mako, meal time buddy! Take a big old Bite out of that snake my boy!"
Mako did not have to be told twice by his trainer on what to do next, the hot-headed piranha pokemon darted towards his adversary with only purely evil intentions floating through his mind, the hunger to exact some punishment on the snake pokemon was a figurative and also literal reality.

Rocket Grunt raised one eyebrow as the carnivorous fish took form in the blink of an eye. She smiled, turning her attention fully on Mako as she clasped her hands together and squealed in delight. “You never told me that you carried such…valuable assets on hand…” The Grunt commented, raising one hand to scratch her chin thoughtfully. “This changes things a bit. You’re not going anywhere anytime soon. So get real comfortable knowing Team Rocket, boy, because you’ll be joining us for a bit.” She laughed coldly to herself. “Alpha, use your Glare and stop that big fish in its tracks! The boss should pay us handsomely for this one!” Why, they could even stuff the overgrown guppy beside their imprisoned crocodile and get the tails cut off in half the time! What kinds of rewards could she expect for doing such a wonderful deed like that? Her eyes twinkled like a kid’s on Christmas morning seeing all their presents underneath the tree just thinking about it. Ekans hissed with delight as he slithered across the ground towards Mako, before raising up high while rattling the end of his tail in the dank, dark cave. “My owner lovesss yooouuu.” Alpha hissed with a large, jealous frown. There was only room enough on this team for one star and it certainly wasn’t going to be a biting can of tuna – minus the can, of course. The venomous rattlesnake would be sure to put a stop to it! “Yoouur gooiing dooown. I caaan’t leeet yooouu wiiin. Oonlyy Ii caan be heer faavooriite.” Alpha hissed threateningly. When Mako rushed in, taking a large chomp on Alpha’s side, the long serpent hissed loudly in pain. “Oooucchh! Yooou’ll paaay fooor thaaat!” Then turned around and glared coldly at Mako, causing him seize up as paralysis took over his form.

If nothing else, the Rocket Grunt would surely be able to talk her way into a promotion with how much she jabbed her jaws. It was the mentioning of her taking custody of Mako the Carvanha and using him for their criminal antics that got under Tristan's skin. The thought of the Rocket Grunt using Mako as a means to further their Slowpoke Tail operation made him sick to his stomach, for as hot-headed and impulsive as the piranha pokemon was he deep down had a moral conscience. Tristan couldn't help but bite on the bait that had been lingered out in front of him, much like his water type pokemon was lining up to do to the purple rattlesnake that opposed him,
"Mako would never cooperate in such vile actions, you see the problem you criminals have is you treat your pokemon like they're assets"
As Tristan and the female Rocket Grunt traded verbal barbs back and forth, the battle between the carnivorous fish pokemon and the slithering snake pokemon was well and truly under way. Ekans made the first move, its ability to lower Mako's attack was in full force as it slithered across the surface of the well and raised up high whilst rattling the end of his tail. Mako was pissed, was this snake pokemon daring to taunt him in such a manner. The vicious Carvanha dashed towards the purple rattlesnake and took a large chomp into the side of its body as a loud hiss of pain echoed throughout the well. An ice cold glare followed from the Rocket Grunt's Ekans that left the blood thirsty piranha pokemon's body in a state of paralysis, unable to move an inch, stuck only able to think about thoughts. The already hot-headed Mako was infuriated with this turn of events, he was determined to fight through it and not allow the snake pokemon to secure a cheap victory over him,

"You say that like we'll give him a choice," the grunt mocked. "Besides, look at that nasty temper of his? He'd fit right in and get over you real easy. Loyalty, even from pokemon, is easily bought. Now, Alpha, make sure that valuable fish doesn't get away!" Alpha lunged. <You will never be the favorite. I will enssssssure that! I will prove how worthlessssss you are excccccept as an asssset to be sssssold.> It was cold. Calculating. This ekans was apparently wholly on board with pokemon trafficking if it meant it could jealously continue to covet its mistress. Nobody else could have her. Even if that meant every other pokemon they met was treated like trash or a tool. That covetous nature made them quite the pair indeed. Self-serving and selfish. But the snake didn't get to continue preaching how it would ensure its place on top, because one powerful aqua jet sent the poor ekans sprawling. The grunt scoffed and stepped back, a sneer on her pretty face. "Oh, you're gonna pay for that!" she declared, whirling to go fetch back back. She returned Alpha and fled before she could possibly be apprehended. Notes: Poseidon HP [32/52] after level up. Mako is paralyzed. Atlanna HP [20/50] BEFORE level up. Atlanna is poisoned.

Tristan could only shake his head in disgust, the female grunt just didn't know when to stop talking. Her pokemon partner in Ekans was as over-confident as she was and it came to pay for it as Mako fought through his state of paralysis to unleash what would be a lethal dosage of his aqua jet attack on the purple rattlesnake pokemon. The female grunt returned her fainted pokemon to its pokeball and fled further into the well, the shadows and darkness that lie ahead covering her from sight.
The battle with the female grunt had been a much tougher challenge than the male grunt, her Grimer and Ekans were indefinitely a stronger pairing that her associates combination of Rattata and Zubat. The wounds from the battle were evident on Tristan's team of water type pokemon, Mako had been paralyzed, Poseidon had some battle scars to show and Atlanna had taken a beating and was also left inflicted with the poison status ailment. Tristan released Poseidon and Atlanna from their pokeballs and retrieved some items from his small backpack, specifically he utilized a bottle of yellow spray on Mako, a bottle of purple spray on Poseidon and Atlanna each as well as giving his Poliwag a cookie with sprinkles on it to deal with the poison ailment that she had been inflicted with.

As Tristan took a breather to heal, any distant promise of sneaking around to do further snooping was ultimately shattered. That grunt got the back up she was after. "THERE HE IS! THE PUNK AND HIS WATER POKEMON!" the grunt shouted. "He knocked out Alpha." "Oh hush yourself. There is no need to be dramatic," another female voice snapped. Soon a third grunt, attired identical to the second, arrived with a cold expression. Where the grunt with the ekans was cocky with loud-mouthed confidence that would probably carry her pretty far in this line of work—this one had a chilly demeanor. She didn't sneer or smirk or even show a wink of concern. She merely moved forward, a stoic soldier that knew her place and would cut down her foes without thought to the consequences. "You have caused quite the ruckus, boy. Turn back around before you get hurt. This is no place for children." Tristan certain didn't look THAT young, but the structure of the grunt's face and fuller form suggested that she wasn't an impulsive teen. Rather, she was likely in her thirties and had seen a great deal of turmoil in that time. She was no executive, but she didn't seem like an incompetent either. Rather, she held herself like the final defense before one reached the room with the boss in it. The grunt pulled out a ball and threw it. Out emerged a murkrow. Rocket grunt sent out a [LV 18] Murkrow Tristan used Sprinkle Cookie on Atlanna Atlanna is no longer poisoned Atlanna HP [24/54] + 10 HP = [34/54]
Tristan used a potion on Atlanna Atlanna HP [34/54] + 20 HP = [54/54]
Tristan used Paralyze Heal on Mako Mako is no longer paralyzed
Tristan used Potion on Poseidon Poseidon HP [32/52] + 20 HP = [52/52]

The Team Rocket grunts were like clockwork, the male grunt that Tristan and his team had dealt with initially had scurried off into the darkness only for a more confident and competent female grunt to take his place. The second grunt had put up more of a fight than her associate but had ultimately come up short against Tristan's combination of water type pokemon. There had been a small window of opportunity in the time between defeating the second grunt where Tristan had been able to heal his pokemon in preparation for the battles that were yet to take place.
Another female Team Rocket grunt soon made her presence be known, her personality clearly a far-cry from the grunt that the blonde haired teen had just bested in battle. Tristan didn't even acknowledge what she had to say to him, she was clearly older than him, but despite this she demanded on extra level of respect, after all she was part of an organization committing crimes and thinking it was okay. Actions spoke louder than words, and Tristan was determined to stop Team Rocket in their tracks and get help for his new friend Kurt.
"Come on out Neptune!"
Tristan had retrieved the pokeball that housed Neptune the Horsea, a seahorse with a shy personality that possessed a high skill ceiling. The timid natured Neptune had predominantly been used to being thrust into the bright lights of gym battles and outdoor battles in the sun since travelling alongside Tristan, so to be in the dimly lit Slowpoke Well was a daunting prospect for the water type pokemon to overcome. Across from Neptune was the female team rocket grunt's chosen pokemon for battle, an avian pokemon with black feathers known as Murkrow.

"Heroes?" The grunt mocked in her cold, even voice. "How naive. There are no heroes here. Not even you. We are all merely people. For all you see us as villains, and you see yourself beyond reproach, to another, the flip side is true. You will figure that out in time. Murkrow, show that horsea—" The little seahorse moved startlingly quick, all due to that scarf around its neck. And a blast of icy energy shot forth and slammed into the murkrow, knocking it into a wall and out cold in one, terrifying hit. The grunt scoffed and returned her pokemon, eyeing Tristan and then the ball in her hand. "You do realize we are all merely distractions, yes? A means to delay you long enough for someone with more firepower to make preparations? Pawns....all of us... You. Me. Just pawns in this big game the major players play. And we each will do our part." She stepped to the side. Her fellow grunt looked appalled. "HEY! Are you just going to let him past?!" "Yes... He is the admin's problem now." The other grunt scoffed and ran off to clearly go tattle that their last line of defense had been smited by a single ice beam.

The blonde haired teenage male had chosen to ignore anything and everything the latest Rocket Grunt had to say, giving voices to criminals was empowering them to believe that their actions were true and just. The old saying 'A picture paints a thousand words' rung unbelievably true in the match-up between Neptune the Horsea and the opposing Murkrow, it was a picture of freezing cold violence that was painted all over the canvas that was the dark flying type pokemon's body. The message was loud and clear from Tristan and team of water type pokemon, they weren't just some group of push-overs, they were a united family out seeking justice. Tristan's happy-go lucky nature had been put to its limits listening to one Team Rocket grunt after another continue to babble on,
"Well done Neptune my boy, a freezing cold message for these goons to pass on"
The accompanying grunt had fled off further into the well, clearly heading to get more reinforcements. It was the latest grunt that had fallen victim to the power of Tristan's water type team that warned the blonde haired male that the next person to approach was the admin. Normally a smile would be etched over Tristan's face, however he was clearly in a mental zone that was not going to be so easily faltered. Tristan turned and motioned for Neptune to follow his lead as the pair followed the path that lie ahead into the depths of the Slowpoke Well. Neptune was coddled next to Tristan, the safety of his trainer was paramount to him in the dark and unknown depths of the well. As Tristan arrived towards the end of the well he noticed a blue crocodile pokemon that was trapped inside of a cage, Kurt's story had been spot on it seemed, the poor Totodile was being held hostage and being made to commit inhumane acts on other pokemon against its will.

"Well well, it seems we have a rat in the well," drawled a sharply cheerful voice. There was that calm, sinister edge to his tone that made one's spine tingle with warning. This was a dangerous man. Even if he wasn't the stronger trainer in the world, no doubt that he had committed far worse crimes than cutting off a few tails in his life. Proton stepped between Tristan and the caged totodile with pearly smile, his teal hair sticking out from beneath his black cap. There were a few subtle differences in his uniform that made him stand out amongst the grunts and showed off his higher status. "This is the end of the line for you, boy. One way or another." It would likely be best to not let Proton get any closer. Something about him screamed 'he'd knife a man in the middle of a battle if given a chance'. Proton tossed a ball in his hand for a few moments, almost lacksidaisical, like he wasn't at all concerned about this situation going south. "Koffing, let us put this punk in his place." He threw the ball, nearly hitting Tristan with the capsule before it burst open to reveal the gaseous pokemon. You are challenged by Rocket Executive Proton! He sends out his [LV 19] Koffing first!

Tristan's path to releasing the bipedal reptilian pokemon from the cage it was currently trapped inside was soon blocked, this time however the Team Rocket member that was interrupting the blonde haired teen's journey of justice was no ordinary grunt. Whether it was the way that he dressed or the way he spoke, this latest member of Team Rocket was definitely higher along the ranking scheme than the grunt's that Tristan had handled earlier, there was little doubt in Tristan's mind that this teal haired male would physically hurt people if the opportunity arose.
Neptune was frozen on the spot in fear, the skittish Horsea was the visible representation of how Tristan realistically should have been feeling, the blonde haired teen however had already come this far and was not going to fall over at the final hurdle. The teal haired Rocket Executive released his chosen pokemon for battle, a purple gaseous pokemon that carried an odor that not even a mother could forgive. Neptune turned and looked up at Tristan as if to ask 'Do I really have to battle this big bad scary thing', a nod of the head and quick smile in his Horsea's direction and some reassurance followed from Tristan towards Neptune as he chose to ignore anything that Proton was saying to him,
"Neptune, you've proven time and again my boy, you're truly one of a kind! You've got this!"
Confidence was something that Neptune was clearly not full of, Tristan however exuded confidence, especially for a teenager that was fighting real criminals. It was time for Tristan's team of water type pokemon to be put to the test, this was no doubt going to be the toughest battle since his first match against Bugsy, a true litmus test to determine the team's readiness for a rematch against the bug type gym leader.
"Let's go Neptune, put a freeze on that Koffing with your Ice Beam attack!"
Tristan's shy light blue seahorse like pokemon took a few deep breaths from his tubular mouth to try and calm himself to a point in which he felt confident enough to proceed with battling.

"How...cute." Proton said snidely, smiling at Tristan in that profoundly skeevy way that set sane people's teeth on edge. "My, my, good help is hard to find if a child and his fraidy cat horsea took down my security detail." Sigh. He gripped the brim of his hat and adjusted it, his stance widening. "Koffing. Put that pitiful thing in its place. Sludge. And do not hold back." To his surprise, the trainer actually taught that useless little coward a competent move and koffing was nailed by a frosty ice beam. Fortunately, there was no freeze. But unfortunately for the horsea, the koffing's retaliation was more effective. With a terrible snicker, the koffing loomed, a noxious smelling force of nature that promptly heaved up toxic sludge all over Neptune's head. It stung horrifically! And the little horsea was struck by a sudden bout of nausea and the world started to wobble. Poisoned. Proton laughed, "Looks like that pipsqueak needs some medicine and a nap."

The smart aleck remarks and the smug, distasteful smile that was etched over Proton's face spoke volumes as to how he viewed Tristan. The blonde haired teen was normally a respectful individual that had been raised to be respectful to everyone, this Team Rocket admin however deserved no respect whatsoever. Tristan's blood was boiling with frustration that humans could be so vile to commit inhumane acts on pokemon such as that which Team Rocket had been doing in Slowpoke Well, despite this the blonde haired teenager had made a conscious choice to not verbally retort to the admin's trash talk, after all it would only provide him the pleasure he desired in gauging a response.
The freezing cold Ice Beam move that Neptune had reluctantly shot off at his opponent collided with the poison type pokemon and caused it to cough up gas as a result as a foul smelling odor emitted from the purple ball of gas. The retaliation attack was imminent as a vile amount of toxic sludge was upheaved from the poison gas pokemon that landed on Neptune's head and spread across the three spike-like fins on either side of his head stinging profusely. Neptune was feeling nauseas from the attack, his nerves were already at an all time high and this was not helping cure them in the slightest as he begun to uncontrollably wobble, his sense of balance distorted. Tristan was concerned for Neptune's health, however he gauged that both pokemon currently in battle looked to be around the same amount of health remaining, ready and willing to take a chance, Tristan urged his naturally shy seahorse pokemon to keep fighting,
"Hang in there Neptune my boy, you've got this! Finish it off with your Ice Beam!"
Tristan's confidence was unwavering, he was fully supportive of Neptune and his ability to finish off the task at hand. In a normal wild battle the blonde haired teen would likely have returned his blue seahorse pokemon to rest and recover immediately, however the real world consequences of allowing the Team Rocket admin to continue his criminal operation was superseding his normally protective nature of his water type pokemon. Neptune felt a well of emotions overcoming his body, he simply wanted to curl up and cry, his trainer was clearly very confident in his abilities and he himself was so unsure of what he was truly capable of.

Proton could hardly get the order out for his Pokemon's next move before Neptune loosed another surge of freezing energy. Koffing tried his best to dodge or float out of the way. The blue beam hit the purple puff-ball and with one last croak of its name, the Koffing deflated and fell to the ground, limp and defeated. Proton gritted his teeth, adjusting his cap once again in frustration at the sight before him. "Frickin' useless, just like everyone else. Told Archer I needed to get some better mons and better minions, but no!" he grumbled to himself, seemingly ignoring Tristan's entire presence for a moment as he vented his frustrations with the world. Calling Koffing back into its ball, he tucked away the defeated Pokemon before retrieving a new Poke Ball, moving it around in his hand as he glared at Tristan. "Don't think you've won, you little brat. I got one more Pokemon here, ready to drain you and your stupid fish dry! Zubat, don't screw this up!" he called out, releasing the small, feral bat into the cavern air. The Zubat looked hungrily at both Neptune and Tristan, trying to decide which would be its next meal.
