"That's it Zuzu you little menace! Ha. Lookit that pokemon hit itself in the face! You think I'm the fool, but you're the one draggin' this out when you could have just shown your elders—you superiors—proper respect by forking over that egg. Now you need to give me that mawile too that you obviously can't handle. Heh." This rocket was now quite cheerily mocking him. "Zuzu, get a little health back with absorb. Keep an eye on it to make sure it doesn't snap outta confusion any time soon." His sneer was pointed and self-important. Like he had this battle in the bag just because he confused one of Vartio's pokemon. "So why don't we end this now, eh kid? I think it's really obvious I'm gonna win." He stepped forward again, shoulders hunched, looming. Real cocky and self-assured.
Zubat uses absorb!

The punch landed the Zubat square in the face. Vartio's mind was considering how much Maurwile could take. The Zubat's ability didn't seem that high, which was good. The issue would come once the Zubat shifted. Considering this guy was hunting Pokemon in this area, it had to at least know Astonish. Right? Vartio's lack of awareness that his Pokedex could be used to scan level due to his habits was biting him actively in the rear. The habits of a trainer from Godai, where the Pokedex was used for ID, Communication, and Dexxing - not reading levels. The irony being he failed to notice this when he scanned Blipbug back during the Bug Catching Contest. A long sigh came from his mouth, glancing at the Rocket's abdominal area and not his head. It seemed things were in place, shifting his view back towards the trainer's Zubat. 'This is going to take forever either way. Well, it's a Potion, not the end of the world. Unlike him, I'm not on a timer...' Vartio thought to himself as a very small curl of the left side of his lip occurred. Ah hell with it, he figured. This trainer already was a non-threat. "Maurwile return." Vartio called out, lifting a ball to recall Maurwile into it, letting the condensation into Aural form return Maurwile to a normal state. "Quite frankly I'm done playing. You're not worth the effort. A Pidgey is worth more effort."Vartio softly bounced a ball on his hand before tossing it out. The ball would bounce on the ground before popping open, red energy coalescing and forming into the shape of a red-lizard-like humanoid. The Baby pokemon Magby. [ "Ooh, I get to battle? Nice! Come on let's go!"] Called out the Magby excitedly. Vartio meanwhile just pointed at the Zubat. "Ember." Vartio called out like a guillotine, chopping his left hand like a knife towards the Zubat. [ "ALRIGHT!"] Quemar called out as it would attempt to swing its head forwards and unleash a stream of fire at the bat pokemon.

The Rocket Grunt was full of himself. Zuzu managed to cause Mawile to stumble about in its delirious state. Vartio seemed to lose most of the steam that the young twenty-something had in the beginning, considering the lack of insults that he chose to hurl in the moment. Was it some frustration, born out of the severe dislike he must have developed for the grunt? “Meowth’s got your tongue already?” Good. The Rocket called out loudly, hands cupped around either side of his face. If this guy thought that someone like this grunt would back down in the slightest, he had another thing coming for sure. “You’re not worth more of my time than any of the thousands of Wurmples littering the route.” The Rocket Grunt sneered. There was the matter of the egg. The shiny egg. The egg that would give him all the prestige he wanted within his organization, and hopefully move him up a rank as well. The egg to end all eggs. Well….maybe not that but close enough. And that Mawile, which the organization…did they really have to know the bonus Pokemon he nabbed? Really? Maybe he could get a better offer on the black market. “Just hand over the things I ask for nice and gentle. Then we can both agree to leave each other alone, eh?” He tried once more, a grubby hand reaching out towards Vartio for emphasis. “Zuzu use Supersonic and confuse that Ma-HEY!” The Rocket Grunt stomped one foot in the ground. On one of his hands, he snapped his fingers and balled all but the index finger up. He straightened the remaining finger out and used it to point to the small red baby duck made of magma and flames. “Oh, you’ve got MORE rare Pokemon?! I definitely can’t lose now. You’re a literal goldmine, kid, and that goldmine is coming home with me!” He laughed, eyes lighting up with utter delight. Who would have thought that he wouldn’t just see a Mawile…but also see a Magby?! A BABY version of a Pokemon so rare around the area, some men would fight over them when a ‘shipment’ of one arrived at the headquarters. "Use Astonish on that little duck!" He urged. Zuzu the Zubat uses Supersonic! Then Zuzu the Zubat uses Absorb!

"Susan, Bite." He stated to the Rocket's taunting, a small figure would run silently through the grass and proceed to bite quickly onto the Rocket's ankle with full force before letting go and running off like a shadow amidst the grass. The Rattata was like a ghost, a sign of the experience the Rattata had with moving stealthily through grass. Meanwhile, Quemar seemed to give little to no farfetch'd about the sound wave as it unleashed the surge of flames that wrapped the Zubat, the bat would be left shrieking in pain as wisps of flames licked its body as it lunged in, biting the Magby and glowing a small sheen of green. [ "Hah! Barely a scratch!"] spoke the Magby confidently. "Absorb...?"Vartio stood there incredulous. Did the trainer just order astonish, only for the Zubat to use ABSORB? There were only two possibilities, and neither of them bodes well for the Rocket. "Seems I overrated my already low expectations.." Vartio said with a deep sigh. He slowly rose his hand to his face and rubbed his thumb and index fingers against the edges of his eye sockets like this reality was hurting his eyesight. Well, that and he was having a headache from the sheer stupidity. "Quemar, Ember again." He ordered. [ "YES! Eat these flames!"] Called out Quemar as it breathed out another curling stream of flames that threatened to engulf and defeat the Zubat.

The rocket grunt kicked at the small rat as soon as it stuck, sending her spiraling back through the grass a bit faster than she originally intended. He growled and spat on the ground near his feet with a menacing snarl. “Oh, two can play this game!” He snapped. The grunt stomped on the ground after Susan, aiming to smash her head in with every step. Should the rat remain anywhere nearby, his only hope was that she would be a pile of blood and guts, though it seemed as though the rat moved away quick enough to avoid his feet for now. “You just wait until I defeat you!” He snapped firmly. “Zuzu I had it wrong last time. You need to be a bit stronger first, don’t you?” The blue bat fluttered back and landed on the Rocket’s shoulder. It brushed up against his neck with soft sounds almost like purrs. The grunt petted his bat on the top of Zuzu’s head before brushing the bat off his shoulders. “We still got a battle to win, don’t you forget it.” He hissed, pointing towards Vartio and his team with one of his fingers. Zuzu chirped loudly, fluttering high above his opponent, and awaited the Rocket Grunt’s commands. “Ok Zuzu use you Absorb again! And really drag that other Pokemon’s health out!” He called out. The burns ate away at Zubat’s thin, leathery flesh. He hoped that the battle wouldn’t last too much longer. Didn’t he already do a really good job in the fight so far? Couldn’t he rest now? “Listen, please just lay down and pretend to be dead?” Zuzu fluttered close to Quemar and asked really nicely. “I just want to sleep. You pretend, I’ll pretend, and we’ll both be on our ways. Ok?” It hoped that the small duck whose body was made from magma itself would understand and just lay down. Zuzu the Zubat uses Absorb!

Susan rat-squeaked out like a troll following the kick off, hiding amongst the tall grass and using her runt size to her advantage deftly, she even at one point prodded one batch of grass before stealthily having a different way to force him to stomp in the wrong direction. Susan had survived in the hallways of a Monastery, giving her access to grass was akin to giving Rambo access to Sci-Fi technology, it was terrifying what the rat was capable of. After getting a distance away, she popped up and stuck her tongue out at the rocket, letting out the classic sound of the Rattata species. Meanwhile Quemar's flames wrapped around the Zubat, completely burning it and causing it to lose its ability to fly as it lost consciousness. Quemar thus pumped both its arms, letting out a battle cry. [ "LET'S GO! I'm ready for the next one!"] "Not now Quemar, now's a little grudge match. Let's step back shall we?" Vartio stated, Quemar grudgingly nodding despite its excitement. "Susan's at least as smart as the average human. Which already puts her above you." Vartio commented, smiling devilishly. "With that sort of injury, even if shallow, you shouldn't be limping away too quickly either. Even if you start running now, you'll be caught. Your range of movement is limited. And that's if we don't hunt you down."Vartio had dealt with professional poachers before, who took advantage of the terrain to cage dozens of Pokemon. Compared to this fool, they were real threats. Admittably, this was not the ideal team to face those poachers. "Where I'm from, people like you wouldn't live a week." Vartio stated, gently tossing a Ball back down as he tossed Maurwile's ball back out after the Rattata was inevitably put out. "Were I not simply training a team on my way back to New Bark Town, I'd have turned you to mulch using Veluzaur. But where's the fun in that...?"Vartio clenched his left hand at his side. "You ran from this last time, so how about we end this as it should have! Maurwile, Power-up Punch!"[ "Gladly!"] Mawiled out Maurwile as it rushed up to provide what would be a final blow on the Rocket's Rattata.

A vein started to pop at the grunt's temple and he got a twitch at his eyes when his bat dropped to the ground. Forgotten was the rat that had tried to distract him, all those dirty tricks, hadn't Vartio been such a pain in the ass the grunt might have thought he could have been fitting with Team Rocket. Now though, he just wanted to see him beaten, begging and crying for mercy while the grunt took his valuable pokemon, they needed to be with someone who knew their worth, instead of being wasted potential with someone as Vartio. "Smart?! You call that smart to run straight into my foot?" He hissed, "Just you wait and see, I'll make sure you'll get to see when I make her pay after this battle is done," he threatened and rolled his eyes, that little scratch wasn't going to stop him. "Why do you think I'm going to run, I have all the time in the world!" He bluffed and smiled just as devilishly as Vartio, the greed getting the better of him, he was not going to give up on this prize. "That explains it, if you were from around here, you'd know not to mess with Team Rocket. You'll learn sooner or later," the grunt said confidently, even if he should be wrong, there was no way Vartio was going to survive against the grunt's powerful organisation. A little lick of his lips was the only sign of the Grunt's nervousness, this was going to be a close call but he was not going to give up. He eyed the rare pokemon hungrily, he couldn't give up. He took his time recalling the fainted bat and in one fluid motion he grabbed the other pokeball and released the rattata, sending it flying forward. "Quick Attack!" He urged to Ratty who took advantage of the speed it already got as momentum. ![](http://play.pokemonshowdown.com/sprites/trainers/rocketgrunt.png) ![](https://play.pokemonshowdown.com/sprites/gen5/rattata.png) The grunt sends back in Ratty [Lv 6] who is at [3/21] HP.

"Hit it as soon as you can when it hits you!" Vartio called out, Maurwile letting out a grunt in acknowledgement as the Rattata rushed in back. Maurwile wouldn't be able to catch that Rat first, and so it followed the trainer's suggestion and proceeded to swing its arm and smash it into the side of Ratty as it landed its own contact with her body. Maurwile slid back from the impact, but the sheer force of the attack was more than enough to send the already weakened Rattata rolling and slumped into the ground, unconscious from the attack. Maurwile formed a U with its arms and its second mouth screamed to the air alongside it in victory. Vartio meanwhile slowly started to walk towards the Rocket. "If I was from around here I doubt I'd think any different..." Vartio quipped back, simply bored at this point. He rested his thumb and a bent index finger against the bridge of his nose and lightly squeezed. He let out a sigh of frustration as he looked at the Rocket, feeling quite bored with the situation but knowing what he must do. "Back home where I lived... nobody would be surprised finding your corpse off the side of the road, having picked a fight with a Pidgey nest and angering the Pidgeot mother... or even a terrifying situation like a roaming Hitmonchan had came through, abandoned recently by a disgruntled trainer. Ah wait... that's right... I know the area, there's a nice Vespiqueen in the area that I could leave you near. Defenseless. Without any conscious Pokemon."Vartio remembered the imagery of a Steelix that had used Curse multiple times using Gyro Ball and nearly killing him. That sight of a monstrosity that massive left scars near Djenganti Monastery. He had even passed it the day he had left Godai. He knew the terrors of facing down truly Powerful Pokemon, whether owned by trainers or those wild that only came out when their turf were bothered. This man was a joke to him. "Now. Do you still want to die a horrific death? I do know someone I can call up to inform the local Pokecenter that a Rocket's coming with a Ratty and/or Zubat. I'm sure they'd be cautious about any trainers showing up with those Pokemon and check for your foot." he stated with a smile. "Of course, you can't afford to have me follow you to any potential hideout you have nearby, no, you're stuck midway to Cherrygrove with no help. Your best bet's surrender."Vartio was not intent on giving this Rocket a different out. He had Susan on standby for a reason. Operation Karst was effectively code word for dealing with hostile trainers, named after an incident where Susan snuck out of sight and aided poached Pokemon in the Tribule Karsts of Godai and lead them to overthrow poachers. In short: Hide and Attack on her own devices. Vartio had learned he needed a simple term to prepare for such situations, but it seemed Susan's weakened state was a minor liability. Had she been 'leveled' a normal human kick likely wouldn't have done much.
Congratulations, you've defeated Team Rocket Grunt!
Maurwile has gained 3 levels! Maurwile is now Level 5! Maurwile learned Fairy Wind.
Vartio earned P$570.

"Not my fault you come from some backwater, backwards place nobody's heard of that people don't know how to battle or catch wild pokemon," the rocket scoffed. "Obviously you're talkin' out your a—" Before he could finish that statement, his last pokemon was knocked out. He growled. "Yeah, yeah, yeah, whatever. Blah blah. Not listenin'. Don't care. Cry me a river, threaten me all ya like, you're just a punk kid with a vivid imagination." Clearly he wasn't being taken seriously by this slack jawed Grunt. He started to roll up his sleeves. "I can handle this no problem—" Then...the tense moment was broken by a phone ringing. And the Grunt, dismissing his opponent's threats, answered it. "Uh huh. Okay. Got it. But the egg? Tch. Fine." He eyed Vartio. "Fine, I'll return to HQ." And he promptly threw a smokeball between them, obscuring the scene. When the smoke cleared, the rocket was gone. At least the moron had dropped some cash when he fled the scene? All Vartio could really do at this point was navigate his way back to New Bark. Reporting the man at the pokemon center or the police wouldn't take too long, but nobody seemed all that urgent about dealing with it. So when he arrived at the lab, Elm would be quite curious about his return and happy to check out the egg. "Hm. This appears to belong to a non-native species," he said upon placing the egg on a machine for a scan. "Nickit. A dark-type from Galar. And this one knows the egg move for Howl! My, I wonder where Mr. Pokemon found such an egg. Well, do me a favor and take care of this, hm? Once it hatches and you add its data to the pokedex, surely we can learn more about this fascinating pokemon!"
