Key Points

1. だけでなく〜も adds Kyou to the bad news

   • マチス様(さま)だけでなくキョウ様(さま)も means “not only Master Machisu, but Master Kyou too”.

   • The noun before だけでなく is the first affected person; the noun before も is the additional person included in the same outcome.

2. 倒(たお)された is receptive past of 倒(たお)す

   • Both マチス様(さま) and キョウ様(さま) are linked to 倒(たお)された, so both of them were defeated.

   • 倒(たお)す is a verb ending in す, so its receptive form is 倒(たお)される, and the past form is 倒(たお)された.

   • The receptive keeps the focus on what happened to their leaders, not on who defeated them.

3. 様 shows Team Rocket’s deference

   • 様(さま) after each name makes the grunts sound respectful toward the Gym Leaders.

4. 探(さが)さなければ means they have to search

   • 探(さが)さなければ is the shortened form of 探(さが)さなければならない, “must search”.

   • The full pattern is negative verb + なければならない: literally, “if we do not search, it will not do.”

   • In urgent speech, the final ならない or いけない is often left unsaid once the obligation is clear.

5. わけにはいかない means circumstances will not allow it

   • 離(はな)れるわけには… trails off from 離(はな)れるわけにはいかない, “cannot leave”.

   • Here わけ points to the situation or reason that would make leaving unacceptable: they are guarding the storage place.

   • Do not read this as simply “there is no reason to leave”; the phrase says they may want to leave, but duty makes it impossible.
