Marchbaby had just beaten Bugsy when he started to hear rumors of Team Rocket in the area. He knew that they were a pretty bad group and he felt as if he should at least see if the rumors were true. If they were it would be a great chance to raise his team before his next gym battle. "I pushed Bonecrusher a bit too much last time so I really have to make it up to him by letting him fight something he actually stands a chance against." Marchbaby said to himself as he started heading towards Slowpoke Well. He knew that if they were only Rocket Grunts then it would be pretty easy for Bonecrusher and his other pokemon that were lower leveled but he was not afraid to use Shellshocker or Shocker if he had to.
He knew the people of Azalea were kind and certainly would not lie about seeing a shady group such as team Rocket. After beating Bugsy he had a pretty good feeling that he was the best trainer in the area and that he would have to go in alone with only his pokemon since Bugsy's pokemon were still nursing their wounds after such a tough battle. "Alright let's see if the rumors are true and if they are let's chase those evil people out of this town." The young trainer said as he hoped for the best.

As the young Marchbaby wandered through the streets of Violet City, there was definitely a sense of pride in the trainer's strides as he walked along the clean cut paths of the forest boarded town. Since winning a fierce battle against the local Gym Leader, Bugsy, and his ferocious team of bug types, the chances of the dual badge wearing trainer coming across Team Rocket and thwarting their evil plans were quite high. He wasn't exactly someone to snort at, ignore or underestimate. Although knowing this, however, the next question was something much more tricky... Where exactly would a group of Rockets be hiding? There was always Ilex Forest but that was so dense that it would be practically impossible to track anyone down. The opposite way was Union Cave but again, surely someone would've come across them much sooner. It sure was a puzzling matter, all he could really do for now would be to walk around and listen out for any clues.
. . . " AAAAAARRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGHHHHHHH"
Not even giving Marchbaby much of a chance to ponder on where to look first, something happened which was more than enough to capture his attention. In the distance, speedily approaching, was what appeared to be a balding elderly man, the top of his head shining brightly in the daylight and what small amount of stark white he had left on his wrinkled head fluttered wildly in the breeze. His attire being a traditional short sleeved naive blue yukata accompanied by a pair of sandels... Which he was amazingly running in! At an amazing rate, the man dashed right past Marchbaby, his face beetroot red and scrunched up with the deepest of anger, what was even more terrifying was the fact that he was screaming at the top of his lungs, ooh, and charging towards the local well.
But the bricked edged hole in the ground didn't exactly seem what the man was aiming at, it was more like the shadey dressed fellow clad in black standing at the very top. After a few more yelps, crashings and bangs, Marchbaby had witnessed first hand the acts of a crazy old man pushing someone down Slowpoke Well, the odd cry for help or cries of pain echoing up between the bricks. It was up to the trainer if he wanted to investigate the matter further, afterall, there must've been some sort of reason and the way the other man was dressed was incredibly suspicious. Perhaps this was the lead to Team Rocket what he needed.
Climb down into the Well to start the mission!

As Marchbaby heard the old man struggle he knew the rumors of Team Rocket had to be true. "To an extent I was hoping it was just a bad rumor but now I know the rumors are true." He said as he reached the entrance to the well. If he turned back now he would be seen as a coward which he certainly would not do. He had no choice but to enter the Well. He knew that he may be asking for quite a bit of trouble by going into the well along but he was prepared to face the challenges.
"I really hope you guys are ready for this." he said as he sent Bonecrusher out of his pokeball so it could stretch out it's legs before it battled anything. "If we encounter any Team Rocket members you will get first dibs on battling them since compared to Bugsy they should be a bunch of pushovers but in any case keep up your guard." After taking a few steps he could hear whispering although he could not make out what was being said. "Let's go see who is whispering and hopefully we will be able to find out what is going on here." Marchbaby said as he walked towards the sound of whispering.

Marchbaby seemed to realize the dangers of the well as he descended it; he also didn’t realize the horrors that would be waiting for him below. The Slowpoke hadn’t been around for a reason, and that’s because they were all trapped in the depths of Slowpoke Well, some not so happy things happening to them. Deep inside the well, a man with blue hair sat in a portable chair, a cigarette burning in his mouth as a Slowpoke cried out in pain and a snap resounded across the walls of the well. “Make sure that thing doesn’t lose any of its bite pressure.” He muttered, watching a grunt who held a struggling Totidile nod at him before throwing the creature back in a cage. Totidile stood up, its jaws caked and covered in drying blood, and a nervous look on its face. It didn’t want to do this anymore…the Slowpoke were its friends… Meanwhile, back near the wells entrance, it turned out that the old man had gotten into a hurried, hushed argument with the Team Rocket member he had shoved down the well earlier. The criminal had a deep sneer on his face as he glared at the old man. “Damn you, now you’ve gone and damaged my back you old bag!” He hissed through clenched teeth. The old man pursed his lips before coming up with what he wanted to say. “Hey, I ain’t no old bag sonny! The name’s Kurt, and my back is just as bad now, but it was worth it!” he said, shaking his fist. The grunt turned and spotted Marchbaby around the corner, calling hurriedly. “Hey you?! You with this old bag-““It’s Kurt!” The grunt ignored him and tossed up a Pokeball, revealing a cheeky looking Rattata. “You seem like you’ll have some more fight than this guy, and now I’m afraid I can’t let you leave, so let’s go!” he challenged, watching Kurt shift as he tried to get up to no avail thanks to his bad back. ______________________________________________ Warning!
Team Rocket Grunt Leo has seen you. Time to fight!
He sends out Rattata (Level 14)!

Bonecrusher had been waiting for a chance to practice so that it could learn it's first Steel type move. This little rat pokemon was the perfect pokemon to use as target practice. He could tell it was a little lower level than himself but that did not matter to him so long as he learned Metal Claw as the result of the battle. Marchbaby was not too worried when he saw the Rocket Grunt's first pokemon. He knew Ratata could be dangerous but would have a hard time beating a Steel Rock type when it was lower level.
"Looks like I do not have a choice but to accept your challenge." he said as Bonecrusher jumped in front of him. "As much as I would like to use Bud to evolve him I think you are the better choice Bonecrusher plus I owe you one for the beating you took from Bugsy's Scyther." The young trainer said as his young steel type gained a sturdy footing ready to charge at the little normal type as soon as the command was given. Marchbaby also knew that the Onix he captured a while back could use some training which is why he did not plan on letting Bonecrusher stay too long in the battle.
"Alright Bonecrusher use Headbutt." he said to the little dinosaur. "Take that rat down quickly so Rocky can have a go at this grunt." He said smiling as he waited to see the results of the first round.

"Kekekeke" said the grunt. This poor kid didn't know what he was coming into. "Careful!" yelled Kurt. "Hey. Shut up!" said the rocket grunt, annoyed with Kurt's constant intrusion. "I have a name!" Kurt replied. "Yeah I know. I don't care." said the grunt "you stay out of this you are NOT the one battling this kid is!" Leo scoffed and turned back to face Marchbaby. The nerve of that old man trying to get in the way. Barbaric! Although he was a member of Team Rocket, Leo had his dignity and was raised differently than interrupting peoples conversations! It's rude! Clearly Kurt was raised in the olden days when you had a bathroom outside and interrupting people was ok!
Whatever. Leo had better things to worry about than that mean old man who wouldn't shut up! Leo thought that this was a civilaized matter and that being rude was unnecessary. Enough about that old guy lets focus on the pokemon! Leo had presumed that his Rattata was a very strong one, one within the top percentage of all Rattata..... Even though Rattata wasn't to be taken lightly, Bonecrusher was a total beast in a battle. When Rattata saw Bonecrusher he laughed. How could that little thing think it was all that?!?! It was tiny! Rattata went in for a bite attack! This was a terrible idea.... Bite attack did nothing and it was deflected right off Aron! It made a small scratch upon Boncrusher's steel skin but thats about it. BONECRUSHERRR went in for a headbutt attack. Upon conact, Rattata flew backwards and was slammed into the wall of the cave. It was clear whom was in the lead.
Leo's Rattata | Level 14 | Health : 33% (12/36) Status : Normal Mehhhh vs. BONECRUSHERRR!!!! | Level 15 | Health : 91% (40/44) Status : Normal I'M GOING TO CRUSH YOUR BONESSSS!!!! (( I love modding this quest ^^ ))

{OOC: I just noticed a small error. Aron learns Metal Claw at lv 15 in HG/SS and after my battle with Bugsy it did not say he could learn it despite being the correct level. Could it forget Tackle and Learn it by any chance. I figure since it was a mistake it would be fine but I thought I would ask to make sure that it is fine since I myself forgot what level it learned it until I looked it up yesterday.}
IC:
Marchbaby knew his pokemon could take a lot of bite attacks before they became anything near dangerous. Ratata on the other hand nearly had it's skull crushed when Bonecrusher rammed it with his Headbutt. The attack was far more successful than the rat pokemon but still he had hoped it would be a one hit wonder. "Well you did not knock it out but it was still a pretty good hit, one more and that little rat will be down for the count." Marchbaby said watching the Grunts pokemon shake off the last attack the best it could. "That is a pretty well raised Ratata but in a battle like this it has almost no hope of winning but I do admire it's bravery by getting up knowing it is just going to take another Headbutt as soon as it chose to keep fighting." He said to the Team Rocket member who at this point was nothing but a pest to him.
"I do find it amazing that Team Rocket would take just about anyone now a days I guess they are getting desperate to recover after what happened to them in Kanto." Marchbaby said knowing a bit about their history. He then looked at Bonecrusher and saw the last attack had put a small dent in his armor. "It will be alright Bonecrusher one more Headbutt and that thing will be swimming with the fishes." The young trainer said to encourage his pokemon. "Now Bonecrusher Headbutt one more time." He said hoping the tiny rat would go down this turn.

(Alex handled your Metal Claw situation) Leo gritted his teeth as the teen insulted him and Team Rocket in one quick line. The punk had nerve alright, but he had to turn things around, plus this silly looking hockey mask wearing Pokemon was a thorn in his side. "Alright ya stinking punk I dun care if you think you're so high and mighty, but don't you think about insulting me or Team Rocket you twerp."It was time to make or break things though and he'd have to push his Rattata to do some good. "Alright you damn Rattata, Tail Whip that thing make yourself useful." While it was sacrificial at best, Leo wasn't above using wave tactics on whatever Pokemon the teenager had. Letting out a little yell the Rattata knew full well what would be in for it, if things didn't go Leo's way and charged forward, well limped forward would be more accurate. The purple rat was persistent atleast and spun around to smack Bonecrusher with it's tail. The poor Rattata was left winded after the little rush and turned towards Bonecrusher to see the Aron mildly annoyed. A look of dread quickly washed over the Rattata's face as the Aron took it's first step forward and then rushed the Rattata head first. The blow was heavy and right into the Rattata's ribs, which sent the rat skidding back to Leo.
Congrats your Aron fought courageously and has leveled up! Bonecrusher has leveled up 2 levels and is now level 17 "Stupid rat better enjoy it's sleep cus it's not gonna like it when it wakes up." With a scowl Leo pulled out his Rattata's Pokeball and returned the unconscious critter, before holding out another Pokeball and sent out his Zubat. "Alright ya twerp I'ma put you in your place." The Rocket Grunt grinned and punched his right hand into his left palm, rather hopeful this would do the trick, after all numerical superiority right? It had a quality all to it's own. Leo has sent out Zubat level 14 to fight, will you switch out Pokemon?

OOC: Thank you for updating Alex and thank you for the reply Girafarthing. Just to check shouldn't Bonecrusher have gained +1 Happiness as well. Just noticed it and thought I would ask.}
IC:
Marchbaby had been waiting for a chance to raise Bonecrusher and this was turning out to be the perfect chance. As much as he wanted to use Bonecrusher to fight the grunts other pokemon he wanted to give Rocky a chance to prove himself. "Good job Bonecrusher return you have earned a rest." he said as the aron disappeared from sight into it's Ultra Ball. Marchbaby then grabbed the Pokeball containing the giant Rock Snake pokemon. Marchbaby knew how lucky he was to encounter an Onix already and knew how useful they could be at battling flying types.
"I had been planning to give you a chance a while back against Bugsy but forgot to take you out of my PC Box." The young trainer said to his rookie pokemon. "With the right amount of training you would have done great against his Scyther but you now have a chance to prove yourself against that pesky Zubat." Marchbaby said as Rocky prepared itself for it's first test. "I see you are all fired up that is a really good sign." He said as he watched the little bat nearly have a heart attack.
"Not only did you underestimate me but on top of that you have had two pokemon in a row with a type disadvantage and still act as if you are intelligent no wonder you are just a grunt." The young man said as the battle was about to begin. "Go Rocky use Rock Throw on that little pain Zubat." He said as he hoped on hit would be all that would be needed for Rocky to win.

Leo's irritation rose with the insults being thrown at him and his organization. How dare he! This little punk was really digging himself a hole, and Leo was going to be the one to fill it with the dirt, to uh... yeah, um smother him? Leo didn't care what he was going to do. As long as it kept Proton off his back and gave him the satisfaction of destroying this kid anything was good. You better shut your mouth now, brat! He snarled, looking over at Zubat. A shudder passed through the little bat from the ferocity of it's trainers glare. Zubat let out a screech and flew up, zipping towards the battle. Leo gave a smirk of satisfaction. Confuse that stupid Onix, and when we're finished with it, we'll take this twerp down, got it? He commanded. Zubat, with a nod of it's head, agreed and turned back to the rock snake. The screech it emitted seemed to do nothing though, so Rocky obeyed his orders. He conjered up some rocks from the well wall and slung them to the bat. Before it could react, it slammed into the wall in the same fashion Rattata did. Leo glanced over at March, ignoring the bat, sure it'd get back up. When Zubat was back in the air, Leo grinned. See? That's like Team Rocket. Back us in a corner, we still get up 'n fight. You gotta problem with that? You better get outta here before we beat you up real good. He theatened. Looks like this battle is almost OVER! Zubat tried it's hand at a Supersonic, but it seemed to have missed. Rocky retaliated with a hard-knockin' Rock Throw! Looks like we know who's gonna win this one...Grunt's Zubat Level: |14| GEEZE!Health 35% ( 14/39) Status Normal Unsuccessful Supersonic Rocky Level: |14| Blah blah blah...Health 100% ( 38/38) Status Normal Successful Rock Throw

Marchbaby could not believe how loyal Zubat was to it's trainer despite it's trainer forcing it to fight something it had no hope of beating. He felt kind of bad for the poor bat after taking a direct hit from Rock Throw and on top of that failing to do anything back to his pokemon. "I admire your pokemon's bravery and loyalty to a trainer who fight's a hopeless battle and showing no concern if his pokemon is injured fighting something it has no hope against." He said as he saw the Zubat try to recover it's senses after such a powerful blow. He wished he could knock some sense into the Zubat's trainer but defeating him would at least get a point across.
"I just love how you shout out your commander's name so everyone can hear it and know who to go after when this is all over. But even better than that is how you act so high and mighty without any gym badge and you act as if you are any decent help to an organization that has had Meowth's more useful than yourself it is honestly quite humorous." Marchbaby said trying to make the grunt lose his temper.
Marchbaby knew Supersonic could be dangerous but it would take quite a bit of confusion to knock out Rocky. He did not worry too much due to his type advantage and the more powerful moves which he knew would allow him to win as soon as one more Rock Throw hit. "Alright let's end this right here and now with another Rock Throw Rocky." He said hoping to teach this grunt a lesson once and for all.

What happened next wasn't expected by Leo. He was busy gloating about Team Rocket, and how amazing they were. Team Rocket was the pinnacle of crime, and would soon own the world, so March would definitely have to learn that and understand it so they could all continue on with their lives. Rocky got lucky and got his shot in first, sending rocks towards Zubat. Leo started blabbing about the resiliency of Team Rocket. Zubat hit the wall, and slid down it as usual. Alright, you worthless bat. Back up and confuse that Onix! He snarled, pointing to Rocky with a snarky grin. Zubat didn't stir. Alright, doofus, get up! He snarled, walking over and kicking the bat into the air. It fell to the ground with a thud, completely knocked out, chest bleeding a little bit. Leo let out a sigh and kicked it up against the wall. Worthless bat! And you, you little twerp... He turned to face March. The wall seemed to settle in the well, and a couple of rocks shifted in the roofing. A tiny pebble fell down, striking Leo in the head. He swivelled for a moment, and then fell to his face on the ground, KO'ed beside his Pokemon. A little parcel of money fell out of his pocket, and Rocky shuffled it to March with his massive tail. Leo and his Pokemon were anihilated, and it was time to leave or continue on. Either way, there was no chance of sneaking by, since the loud rock throw probably had alerted the next guard. You have defeated Rocket Grunt Leo! You've earned 360! Score!
Rocky fought valiantly, and gained 3 levels! Rocky is now level 17! Rocky is trying to learn Rock Tomb. Delete a move to make room for Rock Tomb?

{OOC:I would like to keep hid current moves. Thank you for the reply Tyger.}
IC:
Marchbaby was glad to see the grunt got what was coming to him. In his hometown Team Rocket was never a problem but trainers did tell tales of their wrongdoings and Clarie had informed the town when Red defeated Giovanni and the rumored dispersal of the team. After encountering this grunt he knew at the minimal someone was trying to bring the team back and he did not plan on letting that happen. After a rock fell and knocked out the guard he knew that anyone else in the well would have certainly heard something and would up their guard.
He knew that there was bound to be more grunts nearby after he heard whispering which he figured must be their reaction to hearing the first grunt make such a commotion. If they were anywhere near as easy as the first grunt he knew he would have no problems. He knew Team Rocket loved Poison types as well as Raticate and Ratata so he figured those would be the main pokemon he would face and two of his pokemon were immune to poison types which increased his confidence further.
Marchbaby waited for the source of the whispering to get as close as they could as he hide against the side of the wall. He hoped to ambush whoever was heading his way which he had predicted was going to be another grunt but only time could tell.

It had been a long day. Jessica examined her nails while leaning up against the wall of the cave. Proton had dragged them all here, and for what? She wasn't entirely sure what was going on in the back of the well, especially when she heard the random pained groans of a Slowpoke. It was better not to meddle in the affairs of the higher-ups, and just let them do what they need to do. In order to get promoted after all, she had to do what she was told and keep up the good work. She was merely a sentry today, but who knew what the future held. Perhaps she could be Protons assistant tomorrow? She melted a bit, but was brought back to composure when the well wall shook slightly. It seemed like there was a bit of a clamour at the head of the well. No matter, Leo was down there. Not the best battler, but what he lacked in battling skill he made up with intelligence, no doubt. She let the tremor slide, until she felt another one. Now Jessica was fully aware, and poised for the ready. Leo! Report! She called out. The only thing to answer her was her echo, and a pained Slowpoke cry. After a few moments, March came into view. Jessica growled and held out a Pokeball, as if it were a dangerous weapon about to blow them both away. You! What are you doing here? You're not a Rocket Member! What happened to Leo? She called out, glaring at him from a safe distance. Tch. No matter, i'll get rid of you myself! Maybe i'll even get that promotion from Proton~ She giggled, releasing the Pokemon from within the Pokeball. Grimer sludged around, before letting to goo settle around him. Griiiime..Grimer, Level 15!Rocket Grunt Jessica has challenged you to a battle! Start the battle!

Marchbaby was a bit relieved to see that it was only another grunt who showed up instead of a higher up member of Team Rocket. Upon hearing the grunt come to the end of her spiel he decided to mock the grunt she had been trying to contact. "Oh was that weak grunt named Leo I did not noticed since I spent all that time whooping him and then the wimp was knocked out by a pebble which feel from the ceiling which is pretty ironic given all the smack he was talking about how good he was." He said as he grabbed for a pokeball of his own. He knew he could use either of his Steel type pokemon but because Bonecrusher really needed the practice he decided to use him for this battle.
"So you are using a Grimer to start things off I have never seen one in person but with how much that thing stinks I am glad I managed to avoid seeing one for so long how can anyone handle that stench." He said as he threw his own pokeball. "Go Bonecrusher time to do your stuff." He said as the shiny aron popped out of it's pokeball. He knew Steel was immune to Poison types so he did not have to worry too much about this first battle.
"Be careful out there Bonecrusher you may be immune to poisoning but Team Rocket tends to be sneaky so do not let your guard down since I do not know what to expect from this Grimer." He said feeling something was a little different about this one. "It does not matter what surprises it brings we shall still overcome them Bonecrusher use Metal Claw on Grimer." Marchbaby said hoping that Bonecrusher's type would help tip the battle in his favor.
