Since becoming an Admin, Felix had taken over his responsibilities well enough. The actual administration part was almost second nature to him, same with the management aspect of the position. What he hadn't grown accustomed to was the obligation to become familiar with the other members of the organization.

It was frustrating, but it wasn't a complete waste of time, so when he was assigned to help supervise a young, sprouting researcher, he agreed without too much reservation.

So, here he was, clad in an outfit of black, following close behind Naomi Sato with a face without explicit expressions. When she inquired of his thoughts, he only shrugged. "It's a haunted hotel."

And, when she announced her intentions, again, he only gave a short nod, stating his simple agreeance to the plan. "Sounds good."

Naomi Sato

Nah, Felix was just awkward. Small talk was a concept far beyond the likes of him, and even when specifically sent to garner relationships with his fellow rockets, it'd take more than a few seconds to get him up and running.

Trailing close behind, the admin gave another nod in response to her thumbs up and followed her inside the jaws of the decrepit hotel. Almost immediately after taking his first few steps inside, Felix fished out a poke ball from his pocket and sent out a Houndoom. The pokemon lazily smacked its jaws upon its release.

"...?"

Turning, he flicked his eyes back over to the scientist, only to witness her dash off down an adjacent hallway. What was she thinking?

"Careful," He tried to warn. Alas, there was no stopping a curious scientist.

Naomi Sato

Heavy, deliberate footsteps pounded against the house's flooring. Each one echoed another piece of the annoyance Felix felt as he ran behind the woman's coattails, tailing her through the spiraling corridors of the house's interiors, paying no mind to its decorations, or any possible eyes that might be lurking through the walls.

When he'd finally caught up to her, it took all of his force to stamp down his speed into a simple trot.

"What's that?"

In stark contrast to the scientist, the rocket admin's voice held no indication of emotion, especially fear. It was just as dull as it had been when they first arrived.

"Hey," he called out this time, not to Nomi, but to the three lifeless figures. With a rough push forward, he maneuvered around her and began striding up to the laid-out living space, fingers cradling his side. One finger kept locked at his pokeball's, the other on his carry-on.

Naomi Sato

Nomi had successfully unraveled the nearly-tragic tale without breaking a sweat. Pulling out the culprit from thin air, Felix only watched from over her shoulder, glaring down at the mysterious pokemon with a pointed stare.

He'd let her continue as she saw fit, dealing with the hypno in one way or another.

That was until the Hypno moved to attack, looking to defend his tasty little treat with a wave of PSYCHIC energy aimed right at the scientist.

Naomi Sato

Nomi wrapped out the frayed ends of their mission without fail. After sweeping up the Hypno with decisive action, she handled and ushered the teenagers up and out of their seats, leaving them to them to their selves quicker than he would've thought.

Arms crossed over his chest, the admin gave the emptied room another gander. Without the hindrance of another soul, the beauty of it's ancient design could finally be properly appreciated.

"It's okay," he assured her, gaze more locked onto their surroundings than the scientist herself. And yet, he still noticed her rummaging for a spare pokeball in the corner of his eye. A fact he only revealed through fishing out one himself and handing it over. "Here."

"If that's all, I'm heading back. See you at HQ."
