skyler dross, angelo vestri, and 1 more like this

□

"Arceus, I hope not," Gavin grimaces, flashing a smirk. "I just bought this boat."

Thankfully, between he and Martín del Mar, they'd managed to haul in his Sharpedo without damaging the vessel. Mars seems to have fished up one of its more reasonably sized kin, though it's sharp teeth look no less threatening.

Gavin unhooks a large Basculin from his line and watches it wriggle back into the sea before he casts again.

"I hear Captain Dross has a whole armada."

Not of ships; of Wailord. skyler dross was really something.

[attr="class","twt4"]

It would seem as if these are Sharpedo-infested waters, although thankfully the one he reels in is of a much more acceptable size. There's no need to ask for help with this one, even if it wont stop trying to bite.
[break][break]
"True, that'd be tragic." He says about the boat, finally managing to free the Sharpedo from the hook. Once its released, Mars takes a moment to take a breath. The mention of skyler dross's Wailord armada does get a laugh out of him, though.
[break][break]
"I've heard so too. Do you think she keeps them just swimming freely near Lilycove or in their pokéballs?"
[break][break]
Maybe Mars will ask angelo vestri the next time they see each other, whenever that might be.

□

"You know, I've never asked."

That he and skyler dross were acquainted was rather secretive, but Martín del Mar has seen them interact and as underboss has access to what little intelligence Rocket has on the captain, including her truce with the organization. Little does he know that certain agents harassing the likes of angelo vestri and Locke Jamison, without his knowledge, might serve to jeopardize what shaky faith they've built.

Mars pulls up another large fish, and Gavin steps aside to give him room.

"At least it's not another Magikarp," he offers, chuckling, before casting his own line back out.

Cillian Quinn and skyler dross like this

”Bet they make for quite the sight when they’re all together.” Mars laughs, unaware that that’s something he, Cillian Quinn, and BARNABY FINCH will witness during the swimsuit contest in the days to come.
[break][break]
Perhaps the fact that she has a whole armada of Wailord is information that should be added to Team Rocket’s thin file about skyler dross, right next to the potential grudge she’ll soon have against the syndicate due to circumstances Mars himself is currently unaware of.
[break][break]
Maybe ignorance really is bliss, even if he has always disagreed.
[break][break]
”Ha. True. I could make a lot out of this one in the Black Market right now.” But, he won’t, because he likes aquatic pokémon. And so, the gigantic Goldeen is soon released back into the ocean waters where it belongs

The Milotic that Gavin hauls out of the water next is large and beautiful, its serpentine form thrashing in frustration.

"Hey, hey, chill out, I'll unhook you."

It takes a deal of effort to get the rainbow-scaled Pokémon to relax, but he keeps his word when it finally does and unhooks it to be released back into it sea. It slaps the water with its tail, sending up a spray of water to soak those who'd disturbed it.

"It's a shame the rangers are keeping such a close eye on things. All this fishing would be great for our supply."

But they're in Slateport waters, not Sootopolis, so they can't simply do as they please.

As if to go with the Milotic Cillian Quinn reels in, Mars' next catch is a large Gyarados, and getting it free from the hook sure is a struggle. The pokémon looks like its about to Hyper Beam the boat there for a second or two, but eventually, once free, it just turns around and goes back into the water, as if desperate to be left alone.
[break][break]
"Surprised they actually are, honestly. Considering rangers' track record... Guess Slateport might actually have some competent ones."
[break][break]
Mars sighs, and with that said, his line is once again cast.

"We could always send someone to steal those Clamperl people have been selling at the beach."

"Mm. Caught one of those myself," Gavin says of the Clamperl. "Sold it, of course. They're not particularly valuable beyond the worth of their pearls." To Rocket, of course.

His line tugs in the water, but after a moment whatever had come to investigate loses interest and Gavin turns his attention back to his companions (Martín del Mar, BARNABY FINCH, Tempest Quinn).

"Have any of you found crowns diving yet? I haven't got a single one. Starting to think it's some ploy by the Rangers so we'll clean up their ocean for them." He smirks, clearly jesting. "Had more luck surfing, and I hate that."

His line tugs again, and this time it's a bite.

”Yeah, pretty sure they’re just paying people to return them for the sake of conservation efforts. Pretty damn smart on their part. Clamperl chowder is pretty good though.” At least the supply shortage doesn’t mean a shortage in seafood just yet, but with Hoenn’s sea being given such little time to replenish, it might soon enough depending on how long this whole dome ordeal lasts.
[break][break]
Hopefully, they’ll find a way to get rid of it soon enough.
[break][break]
Just like Cillian Quinn, Mars reels in another Goldeen, and given that this one isn’t particularly large in size, he too isn’t very interested in it. Still, the hook is removed with care before returning the fish to the sea.
[break][break]
”Damn, I was starting to think I was the only one.” He chuckles then, sympathising with his friend. ”Guess Slateport’s rangers may be the only one truly getting something out of the Splashfest.”
[break][break]
With a light laugh, he casts the line one more time.

"If that's their plan, it's a good one," Gavin laughs, jerking back to avoid getting smacked by a Huntail's sharp tailfin as it writhes around on the hook. Thankfully it's smaller than the Milotic, so he's able to regain enough control to unhook his catch and send it splashing back into the sea. "I found a pokeball that looks like it'd been down there for years. Might just keep it as a souvenir. I don't even know if it still works."

His fishing line had gotten a little tangled with the Huntail's struggles, so he takes a few minutes to fix things up before casting back out.

"Hey, there's one upside: no bodies on this boat. I hope."

"Oh? It's probably fine. I've never had any pokéballs break while diving." Honestly, pokéball technology is as amazing and intriguing as it is confusing, and as much as Mars is fond of science, most of the time he can barely even explain what goes on with those. Better not to worry too much about all that, no?
[break][break]
That's the conclusion he comes to while reeling in another Sharpedo, and its at this point that he wonders if there's a shiver of them swimming nearby. Maybe they had been led by the one Cillian Quinn caught and are now upset at the loss. Maybe they just want the quick meal that is every helpless fish they release.
[break][break]
Grim, but not as grim as Gavin's joking comment, even if the memory it sparks gets a light laugh out of Mars.
[break][break]
"Hell, I'd hope not. Then again, we could recreate the scene from back then like those people who recreate their childhood photos." He jokes in response, smirking at his fellow underboss.

"I doubt you went diving for years at a time."

Smiling, Gavin unhooks his latest catch to toss it back.

"Where are we getting the body?" He makes a deliberate show of sliding his gaze between BARNABY FINCH and Tempest Quinn, expression thoughtful, before snickering and casting his line back out over the water. "No, no body this time."

Unless that Sharpedo had a friend.

"This is where I reveal I'm actually one of those Sea Hoenn people the League won't tell the public anything about." Mars winks at Cillian Quinn, obviously joking, because really, what do any of them know about Sea Hoenn other than its name? There's people he could ask, sure, but he doubts the members of the AQUA Initiative he knows would reveal much. They're smarter than that.
[break][break]
While he's busy with reeling in the smallest Bruxish he's ever seen, the question of the body is asked in reference to BARNABY FINCH and Tempest Quinn. Mars smirks.
[break][break]
"Could just throw one overboard for old time's sake."
[break][break]
But, of course, they won't. Temp is injured, and Barnaby would probably scream about ruining his oh-so-stylish fishing attire. The thought makes Mars chuckle.

Gavin feigns an expression of sympathy.

"Shit, man, I'm sorry about the League planning to blow up your house."

Honestly, contacting the Sea People to warn them of the League's foolish plan might've been a good idea for Rocket if not for the fact that their own plan to deal with the meteor seemed to align with the League's own. Hopefully the plan didn't backfire and wind up with another interdimensional war. One was enough for a lifetime.

"Mm, I'll think about it."

Gavin nudges Tempest Quinn, gently, then returns to his line.
