Or, as Triton only appears in the Uncanny Inhumans tie-ins to IvX (I think) that don't really tie in at all, you could say that those issues happen prior to Monsters Unleashed, which then happens before IvX, all in very quick succession? Haven't read these issues in a few months so sorry if anything is off...
Triton isn't shown in Unleashed 1, but the rest of the team is shown in Italy, battling the Leviathans with Johnny Storm. It's unlikely that the Torch would have flown back to the States to get Triton out of the deep secret prison he's incarcerated in just to fly him back to help out.
