The man seemed to know her from somewhere. Her reputation in Rocket obviously must be spreading for even total strangers to be able to recognize her on sight, she can't help but preen a bit under the misguided assumption. "Indeed, the honor is all yours~" She trills as she starts her descent and motions for Dorian to follow.

"We'll pincer them and then go from there, for now I just want to see what they have to offer before I go straight to tearing them apart." A bad assumption could lead to worse consequences, and assumptions were a prime example of past behavior coming back to bite you in the ass. So she would approach this fresh, diving down to the island sanctuary and parting from Dorian into the forest where those miscreants had fled. It doesn't take all too long for her to find something waiting for her, a lone Shinx standing by the dead body of a Rocket grunt. He had been rotting for a few weeks it looked like, the timeline mostly matched up with the reports of when they had stopped reporting in. But... no, this isn't quite right is it? Shinx as a species were loyal to a fault of course, but that was only after extensive training. Grunts didn't have Pokemon that were properly trained yet, it's why they were grunts.

The corpse was still untouched, an untrained Shinx would have started to eat the body by now.

"You idiots have no idea how Pokemon act do you?" Xenon remarks aloud as she scans her surroundings, its remarkably still and quiet for what should be a forest filled with life of all kinds. "How many of you are there? Seven, eight? More? You've obviously been some very busy bees if you've managed to catch every single Pokemon around here, either that or you've got some way to keep your surroundings under control without catching them. Doesn't matter to me much either way-" Rhodium's left head whips up and a Flash Cannon blast burns a hole straight through a Megalopalan who was trying to sneak away. The Shinx lets out a furious screech as it turns and jumps at the machine lifeform, it too receives a Flash Cannon through the forehead for its troubles. "Huuuuuuh... You weren't human were you?" Xenon notes idly over the radio as she slides off the Iron Jugulis and kicks the man's body over, noting how deathly pale his skin is and his... unusual facial structure. Man, if she had any interest in Rocket history she'd probably know exactly what was up with this guy. Oh well.
