Kurt cleared the way, but now you're the one who has to do the dirty work. To save Slowpoke, you'll need to defeat the upper left Team Rocket member and his single level 14 Koffing. If you win, the Rockets will vanish, but you still won't be able to proceed any farther in the Well without Strength (HM 04) and Surf (HM 03). The lower Slowpoke is carrying a message that you can intercept.

The spawn rate for Wild Pokémon is very low in this area, 10-15% so Repels aren't always needed to avoid Wild encounters.

Once you have Strength and Surf, you can access the ladder to the basement level of the {{~|Slowpoke Well}} in the lower left corner of the first floor.  Down there, you can find a '''TM 18''' (Rain Dance) which isn't that great. But the '''King's Rock''' is all that and more.  When held, that Pokémon's attacks get a small chance of making an opponent Flinch and lose their turn (so give it to a speedy Pokémon). And if it's equipped by a {{bp|Poliwhirl}} or {{bp|Slowpoke}}, when traded, that Pokémon will evolve into a new form.
