Just of note: Mewtwo has already been caught and will not show up again.

You ride your Wartortle inside the cave and see a pair of Pichus trying to become snake charmers. Pokemon Level Pichu 27 Pichu 25 Ekans 28

The two of you approach the arena, not saying a word. Aegislash and Jynx will begin our duel! Aegislash slams it's Iron Head into Jynx, who falls under half health until it munches on its Oran Berry. Jynx counters with Blizzard. A 2nd Iron Head nearly finishes it off, but it gets to launch off another Blizzard thanks to that Berry. A 3rd Iron Head ends the battle. Here comes Glaceon! Glaceon takes a Bite out of Aegislash. It stings, but Aegislash slams it back with Iron Head. A 2nd Bite finishes the job! Worker sends out Steelix. Iron Tail knocks Glaceon down low, but its able to respond with a nasty Blizzard. Steelix weathers the storm and finishes the job with another Iron Tail! Glaceon's Focus Sash does nothing to help it here. Bryce has to rely on his last pokemon now. And it seems like Lapras didn't expect to come out so soon. Still, it blasts on with Hydro Pump. Steelix barely survives and is able to get off a Stone Edge. Lapras eats an Oran Berry and finishes the job with Hydro Pump. Worker is down to his final pokemon now! And its Charizard? This could be rough. Fire Blast comes out, and Lapras is feeling the heat. Still, it's holding strong and it comes back with Hydro Pump!

"YOU! YOU'RE THE ONE WHO STOLE MY MEWTWO?! YOU SHALL PAY WITH YOUR LIFE!" It's a certified cat fight! Persian Bites with it's teeth while Mewtwo exerts a mysterious Aura that somehow does Fighting type damage. Persian does not like it, but hangs on long enough to get a 2nd Bite in before falling. Pupitar comes in and Crunches on Mewtwo, sending it to the abyss. "No sweat! Not only did I catch the Mewtwo, I'm going to run you out of town and takeover your gym!" Giovanni does not respond. Victreebel unleashes a Leaf Blade that destroys Pupitar in one hit, dealing over 200 damage! Giovanni's only saving grace was the Rowap Berry Pupitar held, which caused one of the leaves to bounce back and slice Victreebel as well! No one's sure if Giovanni is upset with the battle or that his Rhydon is slacking off. Giovanni pounds the table, then suddenly Rhydon jumps up and lands on an Earthquake. Victreebel hangs on and throws another Leaf Blade. Rhydon nearly falls over, but it stabilizes a little with a Sitrus Berry. A 2nd Earthquake finishes off Victreebel. Gary isn't worried. Here comes Gourgeist. Gourgeist could have easily knocked out Rhydon with a Leaf Blade, but opts to make it suffer with Leech Seed. Rhydon hits it with a Stone Edge, but Gourgeist just laughs. It doesn't even bother to use Leaf Blade, it just stares and laughs as the Leech Seed saps away all of Rhydon's health. Giovanni is in shock. "Wow, you're more diabolical than I am. Perhaps you could be leader of your own Team Rocket someday..." Gary doesn't even hear him as he's already bailed on this joint, Earth Badge in hand. Mewtwo gains 4 levels. Victreebel gains 4 levels. Gourgeist gains 4 levels.

Action 6.1: Work

Day 5 has come to an end! All remaining actions will be converted to work. Stay tuned though as Team Rocket is on the prowl and out to snatch away your friends! @ctots works 3 times and gets $2556. @dlamb works 4 times and gets $3309. @Dom works 3 times and gets $2654. You also have the following encounter still unresolved: DAY 6 STARTS NOW!

Jessie leads with Charizard while Jasmine opts for the Shield form of Aegislash. Charizard leads with a Fire Blast that Aegislash's shield can barely hold back. Charizard winces a bit from the effect of Aegislash's Rowap Berry, then feels immense pain from its incoming Head Smash. Said Head Smash also leaves Aegislash seeing stars, and Charizard finishes things off with another Fire Blast. Jasmine sighs and sends out Magnezone. One Zap Cannon knocks Charizard to the moon. Jessie's unamused. And we get a Weavile appearance. It starts off with a Dark Pulse, which Magnezone weathers just fine thanks to its Oran Berry. Magnezone comes back with a Flash Cannon and Weavile is so blinded its hurt. It has enough left to unleash a vicious Revenge onto Magnezone, but thanks to that previous Oran Berry it manages to hang on! A 2nd Flash Cannon brings down Weavile. Jessie is on her last pokemon and starting to sweat. So I started Blastoisin' and Magnezone goes down. And in comes Steelix! Not a great type matchup for it but it leads off with Dig. Blastoise barely feels it and strikes back with Hydro Pump. It hurts, but not as much as it could have thanks to an Enigma Berry. Another Dig brings Blastoise under half health, and Blastoise fires another Hydro Pump...

Machokes to get Machamps specifically. Accept. **on pause until Spartan gets his Machoke**

"You wish to challenge me? Fine, let's get some pizza for this!" Worker leads with Charizard while Chuck sends out Machamp. Ash somehow gets electrocuted in the process (sorry @Ricer13). Both pokemon munch on Leftover pizza, but Charizard's Air Slashes out do Machamp's Close Combat skills. Chuck then switches to Poliwrath, who bodies Charizard with a Hydro Pump. Steelix comes in next, but Dig doesn't do much against Poliwrath, especially with its Enigma Berry. Hydro Pump does a number on Steelix, and a couple rounds later Steelix is down for the count. Aegislash is Worker's last hope, and it puts on some cosmetic scuba gear to try to beat the water attacks. It also has a Focus Sash (instructions say Band but I only see Sash in the inventory). Iron Head puts the hurt on Poliwrath, and Aegislash eventually comes out on top, but it's severely weakened by Hydro Pump. Gallade comes in quickly with a Night Slash and Aegislash goes down! "Better luck next time punk!" Charizard gains 2 levels. Aegislash gains 3 levels.

"You wish to challenge me Rocket scum? You will fail!" James says nothing but tries to use Venusaur directly on Lorelei. "Oh that's how you're playing? Fine, we duel!" Venusaur leads off with a Sludge Bomb, knocking Weavile below half health. Weavile adjusts their Wise Glasses and aims an Ice Beam directly into Venusaur's face. It does over 200 damage! Venusaur survives though, and unleashes a crazy Frenzy Plant! Weavile goes down. Lorelei is not pleased. Mamoswine comes firing with a Blizzard and knocks Venusaur out. James scoffs. "You're soooo predictable!" Gyarados sprouts multiple Hydro Pumps at Mamoswine's direction. It gets a vicious Blizzard off, but Gyarados recovers a bit from Leftovers and handles the situation. Mamoswine's Focus Sash didn't help since it wasn't at full health. Lorelei tightens her grip and sends out her ace in the hole. Lapras it's with a strong Ice Beam, and Gyarados barely survives. The Leftovers won't do much now, so Gyarados unleashes a mighty Hyper Beam. It stings, but Lapras has a Sitrus Berry to recover half the damage. A 2nd Ice Beam finishes Gyarados and we're on to the final battle. Aegislash comes out swinging and uses Sacred Sword. It does a number on Lapras, but Lapras comes right back with Hydro Pump. Aegislash is badly hurt by the hit, but it hangs on. Will this Sacred Sword do the job?!

You do some shopping before the match, unsure of what tricks Giovanni has up his sleeve. Giovanni says nothing. You both throw out your first pokemon, and it's a Steelix mirror match! Giovanni's Steelix leads things off with a strong Dig attack. Nurse Joy smirks and has her Steelix unleash a mighty Earthquake. Concerned over what might happen if an Earthquake might hit while his Steelix is Digging, Giovanni switches to the less effective Stone Edge. They continue to trade blows, but eventually Nurse Joy's Steelix pulls ahead! Persian fears not steel-types nor Earthquakes and steps up to defend its master. It Bites on the Steelix and doesn't let go. Another Earthquake shakes it off. A Power Gem comes from Persian but basically bounces off of Steelix. Nearby Architects begin to worry as they weren't expecting so many Earthquakes in such quick succession. Persian manages to stay on its feet and suddenly leaps at Steelix with its claws. A swift Slash is enough to finally knock Steelix out. Nurse Joy is pleased and sends out her Vikavolt. Vikavolt smashes Persian with an X-Scissor. Giovanni shows the smallest amount of emotion before sending in his last pokemon: Ivysaur. *Insert Ivysaur gif here* Ivysaur comes out trying to Body Slam Vikavolt, but it Flies too high and too hard. Ivysaur goes down quick! Steelix gains 1.5 levels. Vikavolt gains 3 levels. Axew gains 4.5 levels.

"You wish to challenge me?" Gourgeist is not pleased to see it's up against Charmeleon. Flamethrower does a lot of damage, but Gourgeist's Enigma Berry lessens the blow. It counters with a Shadow Ball that knocks Charmeleon below half health. Another Flamethrower is too much though and Gourgeist goes down! Morty tries to reason with you, but the plea was just a distraction! Gengar comes out of nowhere and knocks out Charmeleon with a Shadow Ball! The Worker resolves himself and here comes Aegislash! Aegislash slices away with Night Slash, but Gengar hangs on. Here comes Shadow Ball! BAM! Aegislash gets knocked down! But it gets up again. Cuz you're never gonna keep it down thanks to its Focus Sash! Another Night Slash finishes the job, and Morty's down to one pokemon. Chandelure taps Aegislash with a Dark Pulse and we're down to 1v1. Worker smiles. Steelix immediately Digs underground. Chandelure tries to track it, but it's caught unawares and takes the hit. It counters with a Shadow Ball, doing quite a bit of damage, but not enough to really threaten Steelix, especially with Leftovers healing part of it back up. Steelix connects with another Dig, and Chandelure is on the ropes now. It does the only thing it has left to do: OVERHEAT Oh my! It's Super Effective, and Steelix takes the brunt of the force!

"You wish to challenge me again? So be it. It's your funeral. Again." Arbok vs. Mewtwo leads things off. Arbok unleashes a vicious Crunch, but Mewtwo's Oran Berry mitigates the damage. Mewtwo counters with a Psystrike and Arbok doesn't even have Leftovers this time! Down it goes. Koga remains expressionless and sends out Weezing. Sludge Bomb does a number on Mewtwo, but it hangs on. Mewtwo counters with another Psystrike, but this time Weezing's tanky body can't handle the blow! Or can it? Looks like it's Focus Sash keeps it upright! It finishes Mewtwo off with Assurance. Gary accepts this and sends out his next pokemon. A single Knock Off is enough to finish off the Weezing. Here comes Koga's final pokemon! Scary. It unleashes a Sludge Bomb that does a number on Victreebel. Victreebel counters with Knock Off, which makes Venusaur drop the Shell Bell it was holding! Venusaur is not happy and Sludge Bombs Victreebel out of consciousness. Gary sends out his final pokemon... Gourgeist comes in ripping Shadow Balls. It hits Venusaur hard, but Venusaur stands strong. It counters with a Sludge Bomb, which also hits the Gourgeist hard. Will another Shadow Ball do it?

Taking this set. Throw a great ball at the Pidgey. Throw an Ultra Ball at the Eevee. Throw Ultra Balls at the Axew. If Axew is not caught, use Alakazam. Future Sight on first turn, Psychic on second turn, then switch to Cutiefly for the Future Sight hit. If Alakazam faints before that point, Cutiefly uses Draining Kiss.

Shh (I even wrote that down...) Magnezone only gains 1.5 levels. Weavile only gains 1 level. Koffing gains 4 levels. A second Koffing flies in out of nowhere. They crash into each other and become Weezing!

Throw Ultra Balls at the Heracross, then the Sneasel. Machop Mach Punches the Wooloo. If Sneasel isn't caught, continue to Mach Punch, then switch to Cutiefly for Draining Kiss when Machop faints. If Cutiefly faints, then finish it with Meowth using Scratch. If Cutiefly did not faint but we need to fight Heracross, then have Celebi come in after Cutiefly faints and use Psychic on Heracross.

Whitney is already distressed over Jessie's harsh words. Let's just get right on into this. Magnezone does a number on Persian with Zap Cannon. It tries to Bite, and it tries to eat Leftovers, but it can't do much to Zap Cannon. Whitney begins to cry. Dubwool comes out slinging Double Kicks at the Magnezone. It's a tough fight, but in the end Magnezone prevails! Pidgeot comes in next, and pulls off the rare feat of knocking out an Electric type. Jessie doesn't care, she throws out her next pokemon. Ice Beam nearly one shots the Pidgeot. It hangs on, and it uses Hurricane, knocking Weavile under half health. Another Ice Beam finishes the job! Jessie wins the Plain Badge! Magnezone gains 3 levels! Weavile gains 2 levels!

Umbreon handles with no issue and gains 1 level. You gain $300 "You wish to challenge me? So be it. It's your funeral." Arbok vs. Mewtwo leads things off. Arbok unleashes a vicious Crunch, but Mewtwo's Oran Berry mitigates the damage. Mewtwo counters with a Psystrike and Arbok's Leftovers can't mitigate a one-shot! Down it goes. Koga remains expressionless and sends out Weezing. Sludge Bomb does a number on Mewtwo, but it hangs on. Mewtwo counters with another Psystrike, but Weezing's tanky body withstands the blow. It eats a bit of its Leftovers and finishes Mewtwo off with Assurance. Gary accepts this and sends out his next pokemon. A single Knock Off is enough to finish off the Weezing. Here comes Koga's final pokemon! Scary. It unleashes a Sludge Bomb that does a number on Victreebel. Victreebel counters with Knock Off, which makes Venusaur drop the Enigma Berry it was holding! Venusaur is not happy and Sludge Bombs Victreebel out of consciousness. Gary sends out his final pokemon... Gourgeist comes in ripping Shadow Balls. It hits Venusaur hard, but Venusaur stands strong. It counters with a Sludge Bomb, which also hits the Gourgeist hard. Will another Shadow Ball do it?

Please include that in your posts going forward for clarity! Revised to Magnemite and Arcanine only gaining 1.5 levels each. Charjabug gains 3.5 levels and starts to spark wildly out of control. It becomes a Vikavolt!

Purchase 1 Ultra Ball Action 5.2: Lake of RAGE

You throw a Pokeball at Abra, but it Teleports to another location. It does this a couple times, then you psyche it out and throw the Pokeball randomly elsewhere and it Teleports into it! In all it takes 4 Pokeballs to catch. Pidgey tries to Quick Attack your Magnemite, but Spark overwhelms it in the end. Ekans continuously sprays Acid at the Magnemite, not realizing that it's Steel typing makes it immune. Eventually Ekans falls and Flareon just melts it with a single Flamethrower. Magnemite gains 3 levels. Arcanine gains 3 levels. $256 burnt money is found.

You fix @eaglesfan0366 car and he pays you $1634. You buy an Exp share with the money that he's probably trying to launder for the Mafia. You put the Exp Share on Poliwag, knowing something is going to screw this plan up. Poliwag starts out against Rhyhorn, but it's not a pretty sight. It gets off one Water Gun before it gets Drilled into the ground. Was this a bad challenge? Gardevoir says no! The previous chip damage from Water Gun was enough that Rhyhorn goes down with one Psychic. But wait! It's wearing a Focus Band! The Rhyhorn... Stays down! Graveler comes out and lays out Gardevoir with a Rock Slide! It... doesn't do all that much. Psychic take a number out of it, and it uses another Rock Slide. A 2nd Psychic finishes it off. Or does it? It's got a Focus Band too! And it gets back up! And it Self Destructs!!!! And both pokemon go down!!! Burglar stares at Brock. Brock stares back. They both send out their final pokemon! Flareon leads things off with a Fire Blast. Onix staggers, but the effects of its Enigma Berry soften the blow. It counters with Dig... SUPER EFFECTIVE! Flareon unleashes another Fire Blast. Thanks to the Enigma Berry before, Onix manages to hang on! One more Dig comes out... Is it enough?!
