At this point, it was up to the Nidoqueen, and the Pinsir, to do the bulk of the fighting. The Nidorino, having mostly poison moves, proved rather ineffective in dealing with the Grimer. So as the Nidorina Crunched down on the slime, however that worked, Nidorino would offer her a Helping Hand. Meanwhile, Stag had an easier time. He would grab the first Muk in sight with all his Strength. From there, he would leap into the air, performing a Swords Dance, before throwing the Muk into a group of Grimer.

As an Alolan Muk approached, King instinctively let out a Double Kick. Much to Andrew's surprise, the Double Kick seemed to work much better on the more colorful slime than the purple mass of glob. But at this point, he went with it. He would let the Hatenna take care of the purple bastards, while his Pokemon handled the colorful ones.

"Making money? I'm taking a job for a waste company. They told me the colorful ones are worth a lot to them.", he would tell her. It was partially the truth, as technically, this was going to one of Rocket's "legit" businesses. Adding credence to this, Alolan Grimer were used by waste companies, since they subsisted off of garbage, thus reducing landfills. It was a very eco-friendly solution to a potential problem.

Though anything the company couldn't use would go straight to Rocket's armory. But he left that part out, in a surprising show of tact.

Andrew would begin tossing vacant Pokeballs at some of the fallen Grimer and Muk.

At this point, Andrew was too enamored with the carnage taking place around him to hear what the other man had to say. What was clear was that Andrew was getting off to this. It was practically bullying at this point, what his Pokemon were doing. Even so, he had a job to do, and what he was doing served that purpose well.

A Pikachu would attempt to rush up to the Nidoqueen from behind, lunging at the blue beast with an Iron Tail. Mid-attempt, the Nidoking would intervene, ramming the Pikachu with a vicious Poison Jab. The Pikachu was sent flying as a result, landing near Andrew's feet. "I think he got the point!", Andrew remarked, followed up with his usual annoying laugh, as he casually contained the Pikachu with a Pokeball.

Another Pikachu would fire off a Thunderbolt towards Andrew. The Rocket, barely noticing in time, stumbled back, and barely got away from it. "Yo, what the fuck!?", exclaimed Andrew. He would bring out his Pinsir, Stag, to act as further muscle. Landing near the Pikachu, Stag would grab at the rodent with all this Strength, and slam him to the ground. Andrew would quickly work to contain the rodent.

Unfortunately for J.J., he got assigned the worst possible partner for the job. Not worst, as in someone who functions as a hammer, rather than a scalpel. But rather, someone who was so infamous for his incompetence, even without being a known Rocket. How it was that Andrew Fisher, also known as DarkWingsGod, had not been exposed as a criminal by his rogues gallery of detractors was a miracle of Arceus. Still, it allowed him to pay off his debts, while living out his decadent lifestyle.

Andrew, who was also disguised with a face mask, and a cap hiding his long, spiky hair, arrived at the night market. What would mark him out to his partner was a patch he wore on his jacket. It was not anything that could be tied to Rocket, but something generic, but unique enough for J.J. to determine who he was. Once he found J.J., or J.J. found him, Andrew would approach him.

"That the latest haul?", Andrew would ask him quietly. "I wasn't told shit. Where's Point B?", he'd inquire further, quietly.

Thanks to the guidance of noah faber's Pokemon, Andrew and his team were able to travel up the mountain. Despite how cold he was from the hail and rainfall besieging him, despite the pain he found himself in from performing the most physical exertion in his life, Andrew still willed himself up the mountain. His Archeops, with the help of his Nidoqueen, joined in on the assault on the left fin of the Legendary Pokemon.

Upon seeing Olivia try to reason with the Kyogre, Andrew gawked in disbelief. "Yo, is she fucking insane? What the fuck?", Andrew commented out loud, to nobody in particular. Not wanting to get involved, Andrew allowed the situation to play out. Thankfully, the Kyogre managed to eventually calm down, returning to the sea.

In the wake of the blue Pokemon's rampage was the remains of the seaside town, the battleground where they had taken on Megalopolan forces. It was clear that the people of the seaside town would need help in not only rebuilding, but healing from the hell they no doubt endured. But rather than explore the tunnels, or go down to investigate the ruins of the town, Andrew instead slumped against the mountainside, breathing heavily, and shivering.

"Thank fuck that shit's over!", Andrew called out. He would sit down for a while, in order to catch his breath. After a moment, Andrew finally got up, and made his way down the mountain carefully, with the help of his Pokemon, who were clearly guiding him down more than he was leading them.

By some miracle, Andrew and his Pokemon managed to make it up towards the mountain. This was before the seaside town began to flood from the presence of the giant blue Pokemon. Andrew briefly looked up at the creature in shock and terror. "Are you fucking kidding me!? We're supposed to fight that!?", he exclaimed.

But as he saw the others going for the fins, he figured he might as well join in. "Stag, Swords Dance! King, Focus Energy!", he'd order. "Screech, drop a Rock Slide on the left fin! Queen, give Screech a Helping Hand!", ordered Andrew.

The Pinsir would begin to set up a Swords Dance, attempting to bolster his strength for what was to come. Meanwhile, the Nidoking would pump himself up, and concentrate his focus. Archeops, going on the offensive, would attempt to drop a barrage of rocks down on the left fin of the Kyogre. The Nidoqueen would give him a Helping Hand in this process.

Surprisingly, the battle did not go badly for them at all. Aside from his Pinsir taking a minor injury from a Seviper, he and his Pokemon managed to come out unscathed. But they weren't out of the woods yet, as they still had to drop the Castform off at the designated drop off point. Andrew would pull up a different phone from his pocket, this one was a burner assigned to him by Rocket.

"We're close.", he would remark.

"Uh, thanks?", Andrew replied to her remark. He really didn't know what else to say. As she made the offer to go drinking after this, he quickly thought of what could go wrong. And a lot of bad things cropped up. But then, refusing her offer might also put him in her crosshairs. "Fuck it, why not?", Andrew replied, snorting.

As she asked about releasing the Castform, they would approach the station that had been set up earlier. Andrew would free the Castform from its capsule. He would then begin to hook it up to the weather node. He would then give the Pokemon a treat for its troubles, before getting out of there.

"Can't go too wild though, got shit to do later.", he would tell her.

Andrew would watch as the woman sent in a Zangoose to battle the Seviper. What he didn't know was that the two species despised one another, thus sending the Zangoose into a rage. The Seviper, seeing their natural rival, all concentrated on it, despite the presence of the two Pokemon belonging to the male.

Andrew would quickly take notice to how his partner seemed to be getting off to this. But given that it was in the heat of the moment, and he was worried about his own survival, he didn't bother commenting. Rather, he'd just go through the motions, get this job done, and get wasted at home, before doing another stream. Maybe make it a drinking stream?

"Keep it up, you two! Stag, Harden up before you keep going!", called out the streamer.

Once again, the Archeops would call down a Rock Slide, attempting to smash, or at least pin down, as many of the serpents as he possibly could. The Pinsir would Harden his body, before going in to smash another Seviper with his strength. While he managed to slug one of them, another Seviper would attempt to bite down on him with Poison Fangs. Thanks to his hardened exoskeleton, the attack failed to penetrate far enough to actually inject poison into him, though it did leave a nice mark on him. In retaliation, the Pinsir picked up the Seviper, and with all of his Strength, smashed its head into the nearest tree.

"Screech, look out!", called out Andrew to his Archeops.

A few Seviper that managed to survive the Rock Slide, and not be pinned down, lunged for the Archeops, attempting to Crunch on him. The bird would quickly jump up, flapping his wings to stay in the air long enough to avoid the snakes. He would then follow up by shredding them with Dragon Claws, finishing what his Rock Slide had started.

"Take that, you stupid idiots!", Andrew gloated.

Remarks aside, Andrew really didn't care about the woman's appearance. So when she remarked that she came out of hell, he rolled his eyes. "Lucky, right.", Andrew snorted again, as he followed after his crazy ancient bird.

Indeed, Andrew's complexion was a product of his lifestyle of staying indoors most of the time to stream. The times he'd go out were few and far between, especially since he ordered out most of the time. Ever since his last girlfriend broke up with him, he's been cooking for himself far less, as he hardly went out to buy groceries. He'd have to change that, if he wanted to do another "Cooking with the God" video. As for the darkened eyes, that was obviously the effects of staying indoors to livestream, staring at a screen to make his money.

Before Andrew could shoot the woman a dirty look for touching him, the sounds of his Archeops got his attention. A swarm of Seviper had managed to intercept their path. The large serpents would charge the duo, Poison Fangs at the ready. Andrew, upon seeing them, brought out his Pinsir. "Screech, Rock Slide! Stag, Strength!", ordered the streamer.

The Archeops would call down a barrage of rocks and debris to fall over the Seviper. The Pinsir would join in, punching the nearest Seviper with a powerful blow to the head.

As Andrew was playing his game, he would be surprised by the presence of another. Though she couldn't see it on his face, he was clearly annoyed by the interruption of his game. He would turn off his phone, and turn to face her, his face being more apathetic than anything now. He would immediately notice the fact that the woman was missing an eye, and an arm.

"Where'd you roll out of, holy shit.", Andrew snorted, commenting on his observations.

"Uh, yeah, I do.", he told her, briefly flashing the capsule containing the Castform, before putting it back. He would then hop off the rock he was sitting on, sneakers hitting the mud below, and nearly causing him to slip. As he barely caught himself, the streamer would huff. His Archeops would begin to lead the way down the path they would go down. "Holy shit, Screech, wait for us!", Andrew called out to the excited Archeops, who seemed to skip along the path.

Any sort of celebration over toppling the pillars would be cut short, as a violent hailstorm rolled through the area.

"Are you fucking shitting me!? We gotta deal with a hailstorm now!? Ridiculous!", Andrew complained, shivering upon feeling the familiar effects of the cold. Given that he was so badly prepared, wearing only a thin t-shirt, jeans, and sneakers, he was clearly not prepared for such weather. "This sucks!", he groaned.

Andrew would be silenced by the sight of a laser slicing through the hail, and right into some unfortunate League trooper nearby. Staying low, Andrew would attempt to make his way towards the mountain, following the closest people he could, all while trying to avoid being struck by a stray laser. Before moving with his master, Stag would Harden his body.

Seeing the blotches of red through the hail, the Archeops would attempt to fire prehistoric rocks, levitated through Ancient Power, towards them, hoping to strike one of the cubes in the process. Meanwhile, King and Queen would attempt to intercept the fleeing cubes, King attempting to impale them with his Poison Point, while Queen would attempt to smash them with her Poison Fang.

The mission was simple, on paper: deliver the Castform to a point where it could read the weather. Specifically, this one was to be positioned at Route 119, where it tended to rain pretty hard. The Castform, from its position, would allow Team Rocket to be able to tell when rainfall would happen, and when things would clear up.

Of course, Andrew arrived early. In his possession, he held the Pokeball that contained the package. But while he waited for his partner, he would begin to play his mobile game, while sitting on a rock. Perched near him was his Archeops, Screech.

"This stupid rain is making my screen wet!", Andrew called out to nobody in particular. Despite the smart answer being to put the thing away, he persisted on playing his game, gambling away his donation money on a game that would get him nothing of value in the end.
