He has a remarkable capacity to listen. As each person talks, Hitoshi is stock still. His head turns as if on a turret as one person speaks, then another, then another. They’re discussing classic music with a tree frog when they tell him about this outfit’s woes. If the bosses aren’t strong enough to put themselves on top, that’s their problem. Even he is smart enough not to voice that.[break]
Okay.” Is what he says when Xenon finishes talking. It is not patronizing, or dismissive, or some attempt to end the conversation. He accepts everything his fellows say, takes them at face value, internalizes them. Debating theory is not something this creature is equipped to do. He is a creature of action, trapped in this vacuum.[break]
Then come up with a plan and send me out to get some. We can talk in circles all day, or we can go do somethin’ ‘bout our problems. Let’s capture somethin’.” He tries to find someone smart, finally setting on . His wolf brain tells him this man has one of the keenest minds in this room. He trusts him implicitly as the smart one.[break]
Oi. We won something big in that cave, right? You think we can use that to find some big Pokemon we can capture and use to kill those League guys?


tl;dr Hitoshi yaps and says 'ok well tell me what to do'

[attr="class","skullbody"]Isaac's little summary of the situation earned some murmurs of approval. Frankly, he wasn't here to wax lyrical about the glory of Rocket. To act like their victory was already assured was to delude themselves as they waltzed into the meat grinder. Isaac couldn't give two figs about the glory of some black and red letter. Not when there were lives he wanted to protect. His half reality check, half encouragement would hopefully keep them safe on the journey ahead.[break][break]

Some, like , felt encouraged. Others, like , were starting to draw up plans. But it was none other than the ultramodernist who felt downright inspired. As she snatched the metaphorical mic for the third time today, Isaac expected another healthy dose of insanity and megalomania.[break][break]

Instead, with a ruffle of his soft hair, the impossible happened. Xenon started speaking sense.[break][break]

"That . . . shit, you're onto something." It was true. SPECTRA was an anti-Avatar task force. The most obvious choice would be to practice facing the League's avatars. But why should that be what they settle for? Why should Rocket keep fighting from the back foot when, for once, they could get ahead of a problem?[break][break]

"If we take on these unaffiliated legends, we can see which ones SPECTRA's ready to handle and which ones are gonna give us trouble. Those that do, we try and get on our side before the League can. That way we shore up our biggest weaknesses and boost up our ranks at the same time. You don't fix a suit of armor by seeing where its cracked. You see where it isn't."[break][break]

He was on the fence before, but now he was sold. Killing two birds with one stone, Isaac voted option C.

Well, at least that girl got it. Violet had offered a court nod when the other had so properly approached her and agreed with her. However, that one soon gravitated to one of the annoying ones – Ms. Broke Record to be specific – most likely because that one was loud and putting herself in the centre of attention. Vio just shook her head. That was slightly saddening, but frankly not all that surprising. People like that attracted others. It would bother her, but she was too busy being aloof and cool on her own, obviously.
[break][break]
Plus, she was distracted by someone else from following that girl. Or rather, someone else. She had been observing the others and Mr. Familiar Voice now took off his mask. Which revealed him as Mr. Familiar In General, really. Well, kind of. They had had a date or two, if one wanted to call it. But now the Dragonite made sense for sure, so she decided to saunter over towards . Because that was something that she could at least comment on, so she would do just that. “Ah, so it is the connoisseur of legends past after all. I did think there was something familiar about you. Not that it is surprising to see you here.” Well, in Rocket maybe. But back then, legends had been his favourite topic. Of course he would be at least interested in this endeavour.
[break][break]
Speaking of, there was the customary moving along by the organizers. That was how these things worked, after all, so she took a few moments to listen intently and think about the question poised to them. “Might as well draw lots for the difference it will probably make,” she mumbled beneath her breath, just briefly mulling it over. She would only speak normally after she made up her mind. “Ah, well, this is about priorities. Only one of those is about something actionable that you can properly prepare for, so I will go with that. A gut feeling, granted, but how we approach this is probably being evaluated just as much as what we answer. Though this might also serve to indicate groupings, just because there is three options.” Either way, she briefly stepped forward and chose A before returning to her spot.

Amor had long given up pretending that he didn't know how his looks potentially affected others, and so when seemed to metaphorically blue screen for a moment, he just smiled a bit more. Though they seemed to calm down after a second or two. It was interesting to be in a place where he knew so many, from different avenues. They made some interesting points, but their last question took precedence for him.

"Oh only on missions, call me Seraphim, or well if you see me in this outfit." he motioned to his MK.II armor. "Around other Rockets it makes no difference. It's mainly due to not wanting the League to find out who I am." His life would become far more complex should his identity be revealed, before he wanted it to be. He did give Makoto a gentle pat on their shoulder however when they spoke of their skills not being the greatest. Amor would politely disagree. "We all have strengths, and weaknesses. It is why we form teams to make up for those shortcomings." To him it was that simple.

Though the noise of someone saying his name drew his attention to , and he just gave his friend an easy wave. It would seem there was a crowd of people around the familiar blonde, and he didn't want to intrude upon him, not that he could if he wanted as a familiar shock of white hair wove it's way towards him, and his companion. A gentle smile crawled across his lips at her speaking to him. A reminder of what could have been from a time long ago.

"Hello to you as well Ms. Familiar, though you are correct I do tend to find my way into the strangest of places." He chuckled as he spoke to , though any further conversation was cut off as the organizers of this event decided to move on to the next stage. There was a lot of talking from some nameless grunt (), but with all the other conversation it was hard to hear what he was saying, so it was only snippets. Not that he really cared, in fact if he could be paired up with , and that would be the optimal outcome for him.

He at least had some rapport with the two of them, and that meant, he wouldn't have to start from zero.

Though he first had to answer this new question that had appeared in front of him.

"Tch....The right answer is all of them." Amor had extensively been studying the powers of everywhere Avatar that he was aware of. To say that the power that Legend's could grant to mere mortals was extraordinary was an understatement. Especially when he had seen up close, and personal what two of them could do.

So he picked Option C because he couldn't begin to fathom what other dangers lurked out there that he had no clue about.

The ones that he at least had data on weren't going to be as troublesome as the ones he had no clue about. Knowledge was power.

TLDR
Talks to , and !
Waves to , but decides to not disturb him from his group!
Amor picks Option C for his answer!

Makoto nodded in understanding, as Amor mentioned his preferences; they were no stranger to putting on masks, either, after all. They would likely end up calling him Seraphim at least on an occasion even when around other Rockets - as that was the name they best knew him by - though... It was still interesting, knowing his true name as well, when he had been so mysterious before.

But any additional thoughts they had on the matter would be cut off, when he further reassured them and pat them on the shoulder. The positive contact clearly caught Makoto off guard - they blinked, cheeks flushing a little... Though, when the initial surprise faded, they couldn't help but smile softly - even if a tinge shyly. "Right," They spoke - in agreement and acknowledgement alike. He was right - everyone had their own talents.

... Although there was still the question of how much Makoto's own talents could provide, if they were going to be brought into an immediate head-on fight.

's approach would draw Makoto's attention - given them being next to Amor - and they'd watch as the two addressed one another with a curious hue. Not that their attention would linger for long - as the screens would begin to change.

And with the change, came a question: Which threats were the highest priority? The known, those within, or the unknown? Many of the other Rockets had their thoughts and reasonings as to the different answers. And really, there were good points all around. But if you asked Makoto....

... Stepping up to one of the nearby terminals, they'd pick C. The others - particularly folks like or - said it best, taking the words right out of Makoto's mouth in regards to why they felt that C was the best answer. But as Violet spoke, they'd comment in response "You don't need everyone focusing solely on one thing... But if anything is going to throw a wrench into your plans, it'll be the unknown - the unexpected."

All it took was for one detail to go missed or overlooked - be it a passing stray pokemon or a guard's patrol - for things to go awry. For one's cover to be blown, forcing you to have to fall back on contigencies or plan B's, if not an outright retreat and escape.
TLDR/NOTES:
- Chose C
- Makoto is taken a little off guard at the shoulder pat + praise from , flushes a little.
- Even if they agree with him, they do still think that their talents aren't suited to head-on combat like these trials will likely entail.
- Notices 's approach - briefly watches Violet's and Amor's exchange before their attention shifts to the changing screens + the question posed.
- Thinks that folks like or have the right of it in regards to C.
- Points out to Violet that you don't need everyone focused on one thing - but that it'll be the unknown that throws a wrench in one's plans.

"Yeah, and you'll be best friends by the end of it," Ruby whispered back without a hint of irony. Well, except the irony of making "best friends" in Rocket.

[break][break]Isaac was in the middle of suggesting that Ruby try being more social when caught his attention. "That name supposed to mean something to me?" Ruby asked quietly.

[break][break]Before she could get her answer, the screens around the room blinked out, replacing the information on the participants with repeating images of Legendary Pokémon. Quite a few were familiar to Ruby for various reasons, including Kyurem, whose frosty visage made Ruby's blood, appropriately, run cold. Maybe that was why she had joined this in the first place: to get revenge on the monster that had taken one of her best friends from her.

[break][break]A question with three possible answers appeared below these images. To Ruby, the answer was obvious, but others like and had their own opinions. The former rubbed Ruby the wrong way.

[break][break]"Have you even seen any of these Pokémon before?" she asked the yapping dog. "That ice dragon, Kyurem? Its head is probably bigger than all of us combined. The damn thing's gigantic, and it froze damn near everything it looked at. Even Fire-types." The last sentence was said with a particular bitterness that perhaps only would understand. "How the hell do you plan on killing that?"

[break][break]As usual, had his head on straighter than pretty much everyone else in the room. Rocket didn't have the numbers or the territory that the League did, as he'd mentioned in the Ultra Deep Sea. They needed to play things smart if they wanted any advantage. And as much as Ruby wanted particular revenge against Kyurem, playing smart meant learning about any unknown threats before it was too late.

[break][break]Too bad that meant actually agreeing with , even if Ruby wanted to stab her with one of her knives just to show how "primitive" the weapon was. She quickly punched in her answer—C—before that petty anger could change her mind.

[attr="class","char-words"]it's the inclusion of the word threat that keeps his metaphorical finger hesitantly floating over his choice.

the question itself was vague and was worded more like the type of a question a lawyer would ask in a courtroom; all three options were, of course, correct. but there was only one answer that was more correct.

Saki met Xenon's smile with an almost-similarly manic glint in her own eyes, nodding along in agreement. Before she could debate the finer points of the other girl's logic - or ignore logic entirely and just butter her up - the rest of Rocket relocated to their region. Saki clicked their tongue and thoughtfully narrowed their gaze. Perhaps they'd miscalculated. Her interest in Xenon had gotten her distracted from everything else, but quite the crowd of quirky characters had conglomerated. Seems this Isaac had a strong ability to draw people in. She met his gaze with her usual distant eyes and lifeless smile. He'd probably go far, she reckoned, and was worth keeping an eye on in the future.

Even their previous quarry had found more stable companions than them, leaving Saki suddenly sans objective. Thankfully, their supervisors thought to suggest a new subject, seeking solutions to their threats.

With no immediate incentive to initiate, Saki contemplated. She found herself clapping quietly, as Isaac finished making his speech. Heartwarming. Emotional. Amusing. The other speeches that followed were good too, but most lacked the wonderful seasoning of the human spirit. One could certainly argue that Xenon's, dripping with raw ambition, held humanity's most critical component.

No, forget about that. They were busy. This wasn't the time for eyeing up toys or candy.

She scanned the room, seeking alternatives to invading an existing ensemble. With her potential prey congealing into a singular mass, scavenging from the stragglers was safest. A lot of them seemed dubious, though. Someone that stood alone, without simply sulking in silence.

The spirit girl drifted over to Shred's general direction, eyeing a terminal whilst talking to herself. "They didn't ask which was the most threatening. They asked what the highest priority is. Not to Rocket, nor to us as individuals, but to the collective identity we strive to take on together, to the many-bodied person known as 'S.P.E.C.T.R.A.'. So what, again, do each of these letters mean..."

They voted B. Partially as an olive branch, and partially just to be an insufferable contrarian. Now then, if she had to make up a train of logic to justify this choice, perhaps...

"...it's the threats within that we have to cultivate. Our top priority is to make our own monsters as menacing as we can manage. Focus on our threats, and threaten the whole world..."


She chills with the larger gathering for a while and exudes friendly vibes, then goes off to be weird in 's vicinity. Votes B.

It's like watching a playground spat, the others bickering it out over what's the correct answer whilst attempting to knock each other down a peg. , on the other hand... That answer of all three is definitely a valid option, though he isn't quite sure whether he should be lauded for his bravery or scorned for his indecision.[break][break]

Not wishing to tie himself up in circular discussions, he steps up to the plate and presses the third option.[break][break]

"We'll be more at a disadvantage when the League gains new legendaries that we don't understand."[break][break]

When, not if. The information he's heard from the ranger meetings has been sitting heavy on his mind.

elijah hears the mechanic, , select the same answer he's prepared to input. though, he selects OPTION A for other reasons.[break][break]

the apothecary knows the syndicate has limited resources. sootopolis, after all, can only provide so much in the end without expansion.[break][break]

"a for ashley." elijah says.[break][break]

why waste resources on the unknown, when they can direct precious time and energy on threats they know will up against them? his victreebel shrieks approvingly, as if it had read his mind.

priam doesn't even think about his answer. hypotheticals have already been ran in his head, either as daydreams or fantasies. most of them don't end well, but it was a fun thought.

as soon as he chooses his answer, he lifts his head up and stares at the people talking walls of text in front of him. he blinks, trying to digest every argument, but ends up shrugging them of.

"you guys are really thinkin' hard 'bout this, huh?"

it was addressed to no one in particular, but even with the stray comment, he doesn't join the conversation. he keeps on his own, mouth muttering whatever nonsense as he stares back at the screen.

"just beat 'em up. if ya lose, just get better," he yaps quietly, making statements that weren't loud enough to go against voices raised by other people in the room.

not that it would make a difference whether it's known or not for someone normal like them, but he keeps the comment to himself.

From there, Selena takes the role of a spectator than a participant. There is much talk and smug and Selena cannot help but observe how grunt ranking Rockets behave themselves. For an organization that is binded with a common desire, she wonders why having to prove one's self needs to be a thing.

But the answer lies in the fact that Team Rocket is not like any other organization.

The screens started to flicker and change what was initially displayed into a gallery of identified legendary Pokemons. There are others that the Kalosian is already familiar with: ones like Moltres, Articuno, and Groudon that she has stood with on the League side of several battlefronts. Others are creatures that she has already seen but has no information of, and more that have been unknown to her entirely.

When the sheeps are ushered into their own computer screens, Selena follows as well into her own station. They are presented with a question that did not take her a minute to ponder. She clicks on 'C. THE THREATS UNKNOWN' because that's what they must truly prioritize.

Those they already know would have been easier to dispatch. The League has always used their avatars in dire situations and it allows everyone, especially the Rocket, to identity their strengths and weaknesses. Rockets have their own roster of avatars as well and it allows the organization to access information that the League will not be privy of—unless, of course, more and more members decide to defect from the organization.

But the threats unknown are what bothers Selena. Maybe it is her journalistic instincts taking over, or any possible remnants of when she was The Intuitive, but the lack of information will always be a threat for everyone and not just their organization. Hoenn is a region full of surprises, but surprises often cost lives.

And that is a price no one should be willing to pay.






TL;DR
- SELENA answers C. THE THREATS UNKNOWN
- Ponders on all the events she has witnessed in Hoenn, of all the information unknown to them, and how it costs them lives

“Better to be silent and know than to speak and know nothing.” He said, glancing from to as monitors flared to life. “Excuse me.” He said, dismissing himself as he approached a monitor, half listening to the conversations going on around him. [break][break]

What threats should be the highest priority? Kaname watched the legendaries roll by on the screen and shook his head. The real answer should’ve been all of the above, but he would have to settle for: C. The Threats Unknown. [break][break]

He steps out of the way of the monitor and quietly fiddles with the mega ring on his left wrist. “Wonder what everyone else has picked?” He murmured to himself.[break][break]

“I can relate to not wanting the League to find out. Though I prefer to do that the old-fashioned way. I trust you can see how good I am at that~.” Violet was not about indirectly praising herself like that. It was no easy task though, which usually meant that she had to take only very specific jobs to keep a low profile. Sure, she had taken to wearing masks during bigger operations, but her biggest asset to Rocket was her ability to play a role. Usually that of an innocent bystander. Though she was quite certain that doing so would be no good in these trials, Violet was quite certain that it would be useful overall when they did get going. She at least thought that she would ultimately be able to sneak up on avatars and do…something. Not quite sure yet what, but that was what this would be all about, she reckoned.
[break][break]

Aside from that, she watched as Amor and his purple-haired pretty boy friend both picked C. By her estimate, that was the most popular of the choices by far, followed by her own. Only few chose option B, which was within expectations. Choosing that was a tacit accusation that their own people were not entirely trustworthy. Which was most likely true. But at the same time, saying it out loud made for a certain kind of impression, one not everyone might be comfortable making.
[break][break]

Once they returned, she would pick up the thread where she had seen it left off. “I would not call this a strange place for you, though. When last we talked, you gave me the impression of a man willing to pursue any venue to achieve his goals. Rocket is simply much more conductive to that kind of mind set than the League, to say the least.”
