"I guess it's worth a shot. Good luck." Monitor replied to Kirby's claim he'd try training Stoutland. Walking back over to Merrimack she said, "If all that's settled, let's get on to the nest order of business. Here." She said, handing her partner a Revive and Super Potion. "What're these for?" Merrimack asked. "That Pancham of yours." Monitor answered. "In case you didn't notice, he and that Vulpix did quite a number on each other while we were - demonstrating our Shadow Pokémon's capabilities." "That little trouble maker isn't mine." Merrimack insisted. "Well he came here with you, so you might as well take care of him." Monitor said back, starting toward the door. "Tch." Was all Merrimack said, but he took the medicine and went after Monitor.

Ken
Ken hung back in the sick bay and waited until everyone left. He didn't want them to hear him whimper as he applied antiseptic to his wounds; and that was after he spent several hesitant minutes working up the nerve to do such a thing, pressed on only by the thought of how bad an infection would be. Then he bandaged himself up. Finally he would leave the secret base and go off into the jungle a ways.
Location: Team Rocket Secret Base with Sly and Shadow Pokemon. Wearing/Possessions: Red t-shirt, brown vest, tan cargo pants, red sneakers, white fingerless gloves, alice band with Ursaring ears, waist pouch with supplies.
Kirby
"Thank you," Kirby said to Ms. Monitor when she wished him good luck. He'd probably need it. Seeing that he appeared to be dismissed now, he would excuse himself from the sick bay. He would make his way outside with the intention of finding somewhere to be alone with his Pokemon, and his new Stoutland.
Location: Team Rocket Secret Base with Sly and Shadow Pokemon. Wearing/Possessions: Green long-sleeved button-up shirt over a blue t-shirt, dark green dress pants, shiny black shoes. Bowtie. Necklace with charms representing all the evolution stones. Watch on his left wrist. Red rubber bracelet on his right wrist with the word "Inspire" on it.
Once outside the airship, Sly let Judge out of his Pokéball so he could tend to the wounds the Steelix had received from Monitor's Sableye. "Good fight earlier, buddy. Let's get you back in fighting shape." He said as he applied a Max Potion to Judge. "My Sableye certainly did a number on him." Monitor smirked. "I should have made you bring that little freak back out so I could see it, before you had a chance to use a revive on it." Merrimack shot back. "Oh, please." Monitor said, dismissively. "You and your Steelix aren't anything we couldn't handle. A Hyper Potion was all Sableye needed." The Ghost-type's trainer lied. "Death Sentence is the only Pokémon you have that could really stand up to us." "Any of my Pokémon would be more than a match for you." Sly replied brashly. "Just like Jury here." He added, calling the Umbreon out of his Pokéball. Monitor scowled a little as the sight of the Umbreon reminded her of the embarrassing incident earlier that day involving Giddeon's Umbreon and the others. "Oh don't get so worked up over it. That was only a demonstration for the grunts, after all." She deflected. "Besides we have other things we still need to do." She added as she move toward the Vulpix and applied a Revive to him. "Right. Let's take care of Po - poor little guy over here." Merrimack caught himself after reflexively calling the Pancham 'Po.' Looking at a Pancham it was hard not to think of the one he'd traded to Selene. Just another unwanted reminder. He thought to himself as he applied the Revive to the Pancham.

Mirzam
Mirzam returned to consciousness. He immediately leapt to his feet and looked this way and that in a hurry, thinking he was still in the midst of battle. His eyes fell on the Pancham and locked on. He didn't like that the Pancham was on his feet and well, too! Mirzam puffed out his chest as he took a deep breath, and then he launched a Flamethrower at Pancham.
Pancham was barely back on his feet, looking up at Sly who'd apparently healed him, when flash of light drew his attention to the Vulpix, who was attacking him once again. "Still want to fight, huh? Fine by me!" Pancham declared jumping to the side to avoid the Flamethrower. "HEY!" Merrimack exclaimed as he likewise jumped back to avoid the flames. "And I thought the Pancham was a trouble maker." He muttered. "You just don't get tired of battling, do you?" Monitor asked the zealous Fire-type. "Body Slam!" Pancham called as he started charging at Mirzam. Pancham

Mirzam
Mirzam had no time to respond to Team Rocket Lady asking a question, which had likely been rhetorical anyway. The Pancham was still down to battle, which was the only acceptable answer. Mirzam pinned his ears back, his tails lashing irritably. He jumped to the side to try to avoid Body Slam. "Did you really just call out your own attack?!" he exclaimed. Without waiting for an answer, he loosed another Flamethrower.
"You should be asking if you can stop my attack!" Pancham called back to Mirzam, continuing his charge. "Oh no you don't!" Merrimack said, seeing the two wild Pokémon preparing to attack each other. "Judge! Jury! Stop 'em." Judge blocked Pancham's path with his massive tail, while Jury leapt into the Vulpix's Flamethrower, taking the attack head on and fixing an intense gaze on the Fire-type. "Hey! No fair!" Pancham called as he slid to a stop in front of Judge. "Where'd you find this little pyromaniac anyway!?" Merrimack demanded. "On Melemele." Monitor replied. "He - uh - followed me." She went on, not wanting to go into detail about grabbing the Kantonian Vulpix by mistake. Pancham

Mirzam
Mirzam would have been struck, as he had stood still in order to use Flamethrower rather than dodge this time, but Pancham was blocked by Judge's tail while the Umbreon, Jury, got in the way of the Flamethrower. The attack ended naturally and Mirzam glared at the Umbreon. He forgot all about Pancham, as he remembered that Umbreon from before. This obviously wasn't the same one, but he was going to take his frustration with that one out on this one! He opened his mouth again, this time to use Fire Spin on Jury.
Swirling flames engulfed Jury as he took Mirzam's Fire Spin. Despite that, he waked coolly towards the Vulpix as if it was nothing. "You can knock it off already." He said. I've taken much hotter flames than this. And the only reason I haven't knocked you out yet, is because my trainer doesn't want to waste the items he and his partner used healing you. The Umbreon added, understanding Sly's feelings. "It's okay, little guy. This isn't the mean, nasty Umbreon we battled before." Monitor said soothingly to Mirzam. "It's a different mean, nasty, Umbreon that's on our side."
Meanwhile, Pancham glared up at Judge, not sure what to make of the Steelix he'd seen defeat a Totem Pokémon. "You knocked each other out earlier." Judge tried to explain. "There's no need to do it again." Pancham

Mirzam
"Oh, yeah? Well I'll make you wish you did knock me out!" Mirzam said, bristling. He prepared another attack, and was keen on ignoring Team Rocket Lady until she said that the Umbreon was on their side. Their side? Mirzam was a part of this now? Oh, maybe he was! He was still angry, he still wanted to hurt something, but he managed to simmer down enough to not go through with the next attack. With a growl he turned away, only to lock his eyes onto Pancham. "Well? Are you one of 'us' now, too?"

Ruby took the offer under consideration. She did very much want to go spend some time with some family. They were also getting along right now so might as well capitalize on it. "Alright. Sure! I would love to have something like that honestly." Ruby had enough for an expensive restaurant. But it got old at times and sometimes she just wanted something made at home. "Let me just get ready." She said as she went to go wash up. She just remembered something and stopped. "Oh, by the way, how is that Ducklett? I don't think you let her out since you caught her." It had been a while since the event and that poor little one had not been checked on.

"Dreadnought" Sly Merrimack
Morticia Monitor
Jury rolled his eyes as Mirzam prepared to attack again. He was prepared to take it and see what Sly commanded, but a word from Monitor got the Fire-type to back down. Nice of her to help for once. The Umbreon muttered as Vulpix turned his attention back to the Pancham.
Pancham leered back at the Fire-type, which still seemed eager to fight but was now asking if Pancham was 'one of' them. Pancham glanced past Steelix to Merrimack, still not sure what to make of the trainer. The Fighting-type remembered all the great things Po had said about Sly, and how he'd helped Selene when she was hurt. Mostly he remembered the battle with the Totem. Merrimack was strong, but brutal. Pancham would love to be as strong as Steelix, but hated how that strength was being used.
Looking back at Mirzam, Pancham could see the Fire-type also wanted to be strong, but didn't care how his power was used. If anything, he wanted to be destructive. "I'm not a bad guy." Pancham answered. Pancham
Mirzam's six tails waved about in agitation as he waited for the Pancham to answer his question. The fact that he had to take time to think about it meant that it was a no, even if he said yes. He was probably just thinking about how to lie. Mirzam would have to keep a close eye on this one. Finally he answered only that he wasn't a bad guy. "Sounds like you just want to stay weak, then!" Mirzam retorted. He opened his mouth and aimed a Flamethrower at Pancham, not caring that Judge had already told them to knock it off.

Hailie
Hailie was invited to stay with Ruby and Sapphire and join Sapphire's family for dinner. The girl was relieved by the offer, but also a bit abashed at the thought of being around so many new strangers. But it beat staying alone out here, and she would have her best friend, Glaceon, with her. She'd get through it fine. "OK. I'll come with you. I don't have any plans, except looking for my brother," she said, putting that out there. It wasn't that she thought he was in danger, just that she wanted to adventure around with him. Maybe they'd have seen him. It was doubtful but it was worth a shot to ask. She would wait until they asked first, though.
Location: Malie City with Sapphire, Ruby, and all their Pokemon. Wearing/Possessions: Mint green sleeveless shirt, pastel yellow shorts, pink and white sneakers, pink and red backpack.

Calvary_Red generated a random number between
1 and 10 ...
3!
"What would a Pokémon like you know about strength?" The Pancham called as he jumped over Judge's tail and started charging the Vulpix again. "Hey! Are you going to control that Pancham!?" Monitor demanded of Merrimack. "The Pancham? That Vulpix is the one shooting fire!" Merrimack shot back. "Only because that Pancham provoked it, obviously!" Monitor insisted. Merrimack recalled how Pancham had scared Amalthea earlier and figured Monitor could be right, but he wasn't going to acknowledge that, so instead he focused on stopping the two wild Pokémon. "Judge! Jury! Keep 'em apart!" He called. The Umbreon rolled his eyes as he stepped into the flames once again, the Damage wasn't bad, but it was getting annoying. He was right, I do hope Sly lets me knock him out soon. Jury thought. "I do wish to be as strong as Sly's Steelix, but not if it means I have to hurt the Tapu!" Pancham continued. Judge was preparing to block the little Fighting-type again, but Pancham's statement made him hesitate, allowing the Pancham to pass Jury and reach for the Vulpix for a Vital Throw. Pancham

If the Random Number is 1, Jury will be Burned by the Flamethrower.
