It's not often to see a Rescue team leader put their partner aside to help another.
This occation was an important one, a certain Pokemon was suspected of multiple dissapearances in the past, however, their would be clear of suspictions not by an alibi, but because their high wealth.
Both of the male explorers had their reasons to go after this particular Pokemon, one of them being that a partner of them dissapeared and the clues about their kidnapping did lead to it.

Once they joined forces, a start to a stealthy raid into the kidnapper's mansion was put into play.
Unsurprisingly though, one of them would mess up, make noise and alert the owner of the place.
Making him comfirm what happen to a leader's partner was easy, "they" would brag about it as offer an excuse of why to "get rid" of her.

However, after knowing the truth, the Rescue team had to be taken care of too, the two male pokes got defeated in no time, humilliatingly got their maws stuffed by their own explorer's scarf and then were wrapped tightly by sticky duct tape.
Squirming on the floor, they tried their best to escape, but their captor wasn't done restraining them, multiple loops of rope, tied tightly and nicely around their paws, legs, body and necks ensured even less movement, and the cherry on top, their noses got taped at the end.
Laughs of their captor would be the only response to their reaction at such sudden torture, the duo trashed around, squirmed more and tried to scream, only making muffled moans in the outside.

Not so long after, a final layer to their restrains would be added, by moving some furniture and then lifting the carpet on the floor, a cell was revealed underneath, being opened to then be the resting place for the mummified quadrupeds.
The cell itself was cozily padded in the inside, had a very secure lock and a strong, bulletproof glass, however, it lacked any kind of way to let air flow in or out, making it more of a danger for the explorers once they got harshly thrown in.
Weak pleas between gasps was all they could do while their captor looked at them from up, hearing some mocking words as they were defeated.

At last, they heard a slam, before some locks setting in, the cell would isolate them from the rest of the room, holding their moans as it also was sound proof, meanwhile, their captor was getting ready to place everything back, after watching the two explorers slowly lose conciousness.
