Mars could laughed, and yet he does not, perhaps out of simple consideration. Perhaps because Martín del Mar is a carefully curated persona who would never break character in public. Respectable but never cruel, charismatic but high above all these people.
[break][break]
"Summer, they were already worrying they'd get fired. You'll send them into full panic attack." He tells her with a slight smirk once they're on their own again, because frankly he does expect them to get fired. If Summer hadn't contacted the owner, he would have done so later.
[break][break]
"Next time, let's go to the casino. At least there we won't get attacked by Wingull."
[break][break]
Hopefully now they can enjoy their meal uninterrupted.

The scent of burning feathers is not exactly what he'd like to be smelling when enjoying his bunch, but it's not like there's anything left to enjoy anyway. Mars sighs, giving Dollar a vague wave that almost seems to say go ahead.
[break][break]
The huge Persian steps closer to the charred birds, greeting Ragnarok a low chuff and lightly rubbing his side against the Arcanine in the way that is so typical of cats. Then, he takes one of the Wingull, pleased with this unexpected feast.
[break][break]
"No kidding. You'd expect better from a place like this." Mars says, but of course, he's understanding when staff arrives with a million apologies, giving them his best 'I forgive you for your mistakes' smile.
[break][break]
Looks like their brunch will be free after all.

"Ah, that we may just be indeed." He agrees with a laugh, taking a sip from his own glass. Mimosas aren't usually Mars' thing, nor is daytime drinking, but he's all for classics, and mimosas are without a doubt a staple of brunching.
[break][break]
Wingull attacks, though?
[break][break]
Definitely not. Country Club security is to be blamed for that one.
[break][break]
"Are you kidding me?" is his immediate reaction when the Wingull swoop down to steal their food, followed by an annoyed click. Dollar responds, of course.
[break][break]
With a mighty roar, the Persian shifts the breeze, turning it into an ICY WIND that shuts the Wingull's beaks and freezes their wings, slowing them down in their attempt to escape with the pair's meal.
[break][break]
Prey for Summer's Arcanine, no doubt.

"Summer Prescott, were I someone else, I'd think you're taking advantage of me." He teases, following his words with a chuckle that is carried away by the same briny breeze that tousles his dark hair.
[break][break]
Soon, their food arrives: a delightful selection made by the country club's own chef.
[break][break]
"Call it my encouragement for you to get better at battling, if you will."
[break][break]
Overhead, the Wingull cry, and with a twitch of his round ears, the Persian looks up, letting out a rumbling prusten. Calm, the huge feline gets up, stretching as if aware of what may happen.

As promised, lunch is on him.
[break][break]
Or, rather, brunch is.
[break][break]
After an arduous training session with their pokémon, it would have been easy to go to the casino to grab a bite when already being in Sootopolis, but they fancied a change in scenary, so here they are: at the Lilycove country club.
[break][break]
They had found themselves a nice table by the beach, and with the country club being provided fresh seafood by the local fish market, the sashimi truly is to die for (the Wingull watching them from overhead think so too, but Mars pays no mind to their presence just yet).
[break][break]
"See? Totally worth the training session." He tells Summer, smirking.
[break][break]
Nearby, his favourite Persian yawns, lying down to nap under in sun.

And that's that.
[break][break]
A battle won with tricks and overwhelming force. Exactly the sort of battle he had trained Atropos for. The witch looks at him once her opponent falls and he gives her a simple nod — sole acknowledgment of her efforts before she's returned to the confines of a Luxury Ball.
[break][break]
"Lecture you? Me? What would make you think such a thing?" Mars jokes, putting away the Luxury Ball and looking at Summer. Of course he'll give her a tip or two, that's what they had come here for, after all.
[break][break]
"Going on the offensive can often be successful, but you won't always have the best odds. You had a good idea with setting up that NASTY PLOT, and using status moves like those is a great way to shift the odds in your favour... Like I did with TRICK ROOM."
[break][break]
There's a smirk there.
[break][break]
"Battling is as much about strategy as it is about training. Understanding moves that may be out of your usual comfort zone is important."
[break][break]
Too much information in one go? Maybe so.
[break][break]
"I think that's it for today. How about we grab lunch? My treat."

"Good. It's important never to lose your fighting spirit." She'll need it, living in a place like Hoenn. She'll need it, being part of Team Rocket. Of course, knowing when to strategically retreat and that retreat doesn't mean defeat is also important, but perhaps that's a lesson for another time.
[break][break]
For now, though...
[break][break]
The Hatterene uses her tendrils to protect her actual body from the attack, smacking away the SHADOW BALL. It hurts, but it's not as bad as it could have been, and it buys her enough time to prepare her next attack.
[break][break]
Mars whistles a short and sharp note, calling her to action with a non-verbal command.
[break][break]
What comes next is a cosmic downpour. A flurry of merciless blows that strike the Zoroark. G-MAX SMITE, a move Hatterene can only use when MEGA EVOLVED.

Watching the Zoroark attempt to increase its agility, the Hatterene snickers with wicked mischief, clearly enjoying herself with this fight. As Summer and her pokémon would find, increase in speed only seems to make Hela even slower. Since this is training, Mars decides to explain:
[break][break]
"TRICK ROOM is a psychic move. It makes it so whoever is slowest moves fastest, turning your pokémon's speed into a disadvantage." As long as the TRICK ROOM is up, that is. Still, it doesn't prevent the Hatterene from still being hit by moves, as the NIGHT DAZE soon proves. That one does get her to stop snickering creepily.
[break][break]
"Hmm... That could lower her accuracy... Interesting." Mars' smile does not fade, and with a simple gesture, he taps on the elegant tie pin he wears. There, a KEYSTONE shines, syncing with the MEGA STONE the Hatterene wears as a charm at the end of her hat. "Stat changes are removed when MEGA EVOLVING, and all parameters increase."
[break][break]

[break]
No, he's definitely not going easy on her.
[break][break]
This time, the BRUTAL SWING hits even harder, the Zoroark being struck by all three moving tendils of the Hatterene's hat.

"Nice choice." The underboss comments, calm as ever. "Zoroark from distortions have a very advantageous typing."
[break][break]
Weak only to dark type, if he remembers correctly. The issue, though? That can easily be changed, although Mars decides not to do so just yet. First he must deal with the issue that is the pokémon's speed.
[break][break]
He clicks his tongue once and something in the ROOM shifts, doubtlessly the result of the Hatterene's TRICKS. The Zoroark would find itself moving much slower than before, and the Hatterene at almost blinding speed, the priority of their movement having shifted.
[break][break]
Before it knows it, the witch strikes with a cruel and BRUTAL SWING.

Usually, when Mars meets up with Summer Atreides it's for private matters; as friends instead of as Team Rocket underboss and executive. However, recently dear Summer had made the mistake of wanting to train more, and to Mars that means all forms of training.
[break][break]
Hiking up Mount Chimney had been bad enough, so what awaits Summer when Mars calls her to Team Rocket's training falicities?
[break][break]
Well... a banker that casually smiles and a witch who also does as much.
[break][break]
The Hatterene that stands before Mars at their end of the arena wickedly smirks beneath the brim of her fluffy hat, watching Summer and snickering quietly as if having something terribly evil planned. Mars pays her no mind.
[break][break]
"Ready to get started?" He is, at least. He always is. "You go first."

"Good observation. Dragon and Ice type, yes." Mars responds, his gaze also following the movements of the Frigibax that shyly watches Amor. The small dragon still seems rather unsure when it comes to most people, and if Mars' speculations about it coming from one of the rifts are true, then that much is unsurprising. It probably had never seen people before coming to Hoenn.
[break][break]
"Ah, a Rotom. Quite useful, aren't they? I have a few myself."
[break][break]
A respectable choice in assistant Pokémon, doubtlessly.
[break][break]
When Amor sits down, the Frigibax finally seems confident enough to step out of hiding, waddling onto the snow with the clumsy steps of a young pokémon. Mars simply watches it for a second, a smile upon his lips before his attention returns to Amor.
[break][break]
"I found her at the Silent Iceland. Paldean pokémon aren't usually present in most regions, so it seems as if many of them came from the rifts."
[break][break]
But, how did those pokémon reach Ultra Space and other dimensions to begin with?
[break][break]
Curious.
