On the other side of town, Ike and Kurt were just ending their discussion.
"...So I'll need both of them to make it?" asked Ike. Kurt nodded.
"I have been studying the old one for quite some time, and yes... others can be made just like it. I see you already have one of them... so the other one will be your task." said Kurt.
Ike finally submited to some tea and sat down to drink some with Kurt. He's had little relaxation since he had started this journey.

"Joy," Kiara muttered, eyeing the slowpoke with some suspicion; she appeared to be in a very sarcastic mood tonight. "All right, Carol of the Bells, let's see what you can do, shall we?" Kiara recalled Sylar and sent out her vulpix, nicknamed Carol of the Bells, or simply Carol.
One of the slowpoke waddled up to Carol, and, after a few hesitant (or perhaps dumb) seconds, proceeded to squirt her in the face with a water gun attack.
"Payback," Kiara told Carol, and the vulpix slammed its tails around into slowpoke's head. It stood there for a few seconds, then the pain caught up and it grew angry.
"Confuse ray," Kiara called, before the slowpoke could figure out what to do next. A purple, glowing orb appeared, and Carol directed it towards the slowpoke. It zinged around it for a few seconds then disappeared, leaving the pink pokemon very confused. Confusion didn't stop its headbutt attack, though, and the vulpix got slammed.
"Extrasensory!" Kiara ordered quietly, and Carol's eyes closed. When they opened, they were glowing bright blue. The air around slowpoke distorted and twisted, making the pink pokemon writhe. When the attack finished, slowpoke retorted with a psychic attack of its own, picking up Carol and slamming her into the wall again. Kiara looked on, slightly unnerved, though it didn't show. Carol couldn't last much longer.
Inspiration came in the form of a TM.
"Dark Pulse," she hissed. Carol got up, and this time, her eyes were the black of a starless night. Her body began to glow with a dark purplish-black aura, and it pulsed off of her in waves, the dark-type attack doing extreme damage to the psychic type pokemon. Slowpoke collapsed, and Carol returned to normal. The vulpix retreated, nuzzling against Kiara until she was picked up and stroked.

As the Slowpoke slowly retreated slowly, Ginji started heading towards the top of the Well, and to the surface. Crawling through the layers of grim and muck. "Come on guys, we have a Pokeball Master to speak with."

Cody followed Ginji up through the top of the well and back out into the open. "Yuck," he said. "Being down there always gives me the shivers."

The surface was nice a cozy compared to the dank darkness of the Well. No stars that night. No Moon. Only clouds. Only darkness. Hard to imagine Darkrai couldn't get them right outside Kurt's house. Ah well, the darkness loomed as the Team found themselves in the heart of Azalea Town. "Now where was Kurt's place again...?" Ginji asked himself as he looked left and right for a sign or something.

Lucario followed Ginji, not exactly sure how to navigate Azalea Town as well.
"Doesn't the TADS have a town map?" he asked

Ginji hit himself in the head. "Of course it has a map." He laughed as he opened it to Street View. He slowly turned it with his body and typed into the search 'Kurt's House' surprisingly enough, it worked. "Just one block North, who'da thunk it." he said as he began walking.

"Let's go. It has been forever since we came here last." Cody told Ginji.

Ginji smiled as they approached Kurt's house. Finally they arrived at the building that looked suspiciously like a dojo, Kurt's humble abode. Lowering his head to knock on the door, some faint shuffling was done behind the thin sliding door. "This is it." Ginji mumbled.

"Oh?" said Kurt, looking up from his tea. Ike stood up from the low table and pillow seats.
"Please don't tell me that it's them..." he mumbled as Kurt made his way over to the door.
With a jet of speed, Ike slipped on his shoes, grabbed a messenger bag that was with him, and sped off to the back of the house.
The front doors opened to the Team as a marry-looking Kurt greeted them.
"Team Aqua! Quite an expected surprise! Come on in." he said, leaving the door open. "Mind your shoes, please."

Ginji smiled as he stepped inside. "Why thank you Kurt, it's always nice to visit in the middle of the night." he chuckled slightly as he slipped off his shoes.

Cody slid off his shoes and formally thanked Kurt for lettig them inside. It was getting chilly out there and Cody had forgotten his hoodie.

"What brings you guys all the out here? I hope not for another problem with your poke ball." he said with a cheerful laugh. Although the house had been cleaned up from the wreck Aqua had made last time they were here, cracks in the wall could still be seen.
"GRAMPA! THERE'S A STRANGER IN THE HOUSE!" came a little girl's yell from the back of the house. "AND HE'S WEARING HIS SHOES!" A loud "shhh" followed her.

"Well, we're her to first of all, to apologize for the mess we made last time we were here, and to thank you for making us those special balls. Secondly, we're interested in learning your techniques for making such balls." Ginji explained before the little girl cried out.
"This won't end well." Ginji said as he tried to look around a wall to see if he could see anyone, or anything. Nothing. Perhaps a thief? "Do you need help Kurt? We could take the intruder for you. Or at least take his shoes off."
