"What was that?" Ben asked
 "I don't know... but... they seemed to... have... crashed... If we hurry... we can catch em." Mick said between gasps of air.
 They entered the woods and began to look around, but at first sight they couldn't find anything that resembled what they were looking for.
 "There's no time!" Ben said "Split up!... They must not escape!..."  Ben said, between gulps of air.
 They nodded at each other and while Ben took the left while Mick ventured to the right.
 While Ben searched between the foliage and thickets, as he walked through the woods, ducking between branches. He didn't even consider the possibilities of what could happen when he found the Rocket duo. All he thought about was saving the Pokémon. Especially Eevee.
I can't let them take Eevee again, he's clearly been through enough. Ben thought
Ben had searched for a couple of minutes when he suddenly saw what looked like the ruined balloon tangled up on a tree, and as he moved forward he saw the broken glass container of the Poké Balls on the ground, completely in pieces. There was no sign of the Rocket duo.
But where's Eevee? Ben thought as he looked around thoroughly, but it wasn't long before he heard a distant scream.
 "Eievui!!!"  
Ben immediately rushed over in the direction where the scream came from, fearing for Eevee's safety.
As he scrambled out of the foliage he saw the Rocket duo at one end who squared off against Eevee on the other end, who was shuddering violently against a tree, using it's bushy tail to cover it's face.
"Hey! Don't pick on Eevee!" Ben yelled at the Rocket Duo, as he rushed to step between them and Ben spread out his arms in a protective way to signal them he was blocking them.
"You'll have to go through to me first." Ben declared, staring the pair down, now that he was up close he could see their facial features.
The guy, Damon, had messy, scarlet hair with red eyes and looked about. The girl, Maggie, on the other hand was a tad shorter and had short purple-pinkish hair and yellow eyes, it seems they had a rough landing because their uniforms were torn here and there. They grinned upon seeing Ben.
 "So, the boy has come to play with us." teased Maggie.
"You've got some nerve, messing with us!" Damon said in turn. "Listen I don't know what brought our balloon down, but we're not going out without at least taking something! That Eevee is a very rare and valuable Pokémon, even if it doesn't look the best right now. We're taking it with us, so this operation wasn't for nothing. Stand aside and we'll show you mercy."  
"I can't let you do that." Ben said, growing nervous somewhat and beginning to sweat, he had been on been going on adrenaline for some time and was only now beginning to realise these two were potentially dangerous and could harm him, but he had to defend Eevee, because it was the right thing to do.
Ben turned his head somewhat to glance at Eevee at the corner of his eye.
 "Eevee, you've got to run! Go on!"
 But Eevee seemed to be too petrified to actually run, as it remained rooted to the spot, shuddering.
"Well, if you don't move aside" said Damon, directing his attention to Ben "Then we're just gonna have to make you move!" Damon said as he grabbed a Poké Ball from his belt.
Damn it, he's gonna use a Pokémon on me! Thought Ben as his eyes went wide and he gulped.
"Come forth Machop!" the red haired Rocket grunt said as he tossed a Poké Ball in the air, a Pokémon emerged with a flash to form a small humanoid, bipedal creature that had blue-gray skin. It had three brown ridges on top of it's head, large red eyes, and a relatively flat face. Although small it's body was muscular.
