How did Jet help the situation? Pftt. It was Jet. He wasn't helping. Seeing that Annie was the one he was paired up with he was adamant about not doing anything in the mission less she remember it and conclude he was a rocket. She didn't seem too bright but from what he was hearing she was a good battler and he didn't want her knowing his team.

Besides, since their last meeting Jet wasn't quite sure how to treat her, or anyone else affected by the whole kanto thing. He obviously felt bad for them but wasn't in a position to offer any sympathies. "Oh yeah sorry your region got cucked, I'm actually apart of the gang that did it, wana be friends?" Any time he even so much as glanced her direction those words just came flooding into his head. She was so young and yet so badly left off because of it. He didn't want anyone to be put in that position and if he tried to help he'd be a hypocrite. It was seriously annoying but for now the blue haired lad kept all that bottled up. He didn't want to say anything suspicious or weird! And in the mood he was in there was a definite possibility that he could let something slip. Oh well, guess I'll have to take it easy and let her do all the work then reap all the rewards. So I don't fuck things up of course. He thought to himself seeing that the young girl was more than capable at doing the job solo.

"I am pretending though, that's why I'm here." he said lazily putting his hands behind his head. "Since I came down here, the people up top saw that so at least there is some proof." But despite his words he took out a pokeball. "But if you insist." From the pokeball a small yellow bug jumped out and landed on Jet's head. "Zap here will use string shot on the roof so that the roof doesn't cave in. That good enough?" Giving Annie Mei nothing more than a side glance his bug lightly coated the ceiling with it's web. Then as an added twist, to add a little more light in the dreary area, it sent some electricity through it's string. "Oh hey, now I'm being twice as useful."

With a disgruntled expersion and click of his tongue, Jet probably looked about as insulted as possible. "Hey I do help on most missions. Just this one I don't have the means to do kuch! Besides even if Indid I'd just be in the way if you and your pokemon. Like c'mon! Ots a frogging drill! What more do we need!" His his tone increasing in pitch as he grew more annoyed his joltik started to scuttle around her trainer to gather some of that juicy energy to keep powering their light.

"And tell who you want. Best case scenario is what you said, I lose out on some work. But every other possibility leaves me relarively fine. One persons word against another doesn't tend to work well these days. Especially coming from two kids." Now calming down slightly he shrugged his shoulders and stuffing his hands into his pockets. "But if it will shut you up what do you want me to do? I don't have any ground or rock type that could help. Useless ya want to be caved in by an earthquake." And here it was! The inevitable compromise Jet knew he'd have to make. After all the lad was all talk. He could make himself sound as cool and badass as he wanted to but when it came down to it Aniie was right. Enough complaints and he'd be shafted from helping the league. Which was a rocket one would assume that was a good thing but well a reluctant one? Yeah no Jet needed these jobs and he was willing to not be lazy to do so.

"Wha-! No of course I brought pokemon to do stuff!" Jet's tone of voice shot up again at the accusation, clearly offended by the words Annie spoke, even if she didn't directly insult him. "And before you cam strolling in with that thing under your arm I was gonna use something to do the job! But in case ya haven't noticed, this is a frigging cave with no structure! Any more digging and something could friggen dislodge and crush us all!" While it was a bitch of a stretch to assume the whole cave system would collapse around them there was some merit to what he was saying. Ya could never be too careful when you were tunneling underground, even if all the precautions were set in place before the two even took the job to go mining... As for Jet actually working? Well that could still be seen as a lie. The pokemon he had in mind to work weren't exactly well versed in digging or smashing rocks but they'd probably make do. God knows Zap was.

After his proposition, (which admittedly was staged so he would at the very least sound like he was interested) Annie commanded her drill to change hands. Somewhat surprised by Annie actually giving him another of her pokemon Jet bent down to pick up the mole drill. Seriosuly, any normal person wouldn't give me a chance to hold another of their companions considering I nearly squeezed the life out of the last one... Sighing Jet put his hands under the Excadrill's arms and attempted to lift it.

"Hurp-!" Through a grunt of sheer effort Jet managed to pick up the damn thing, unable to fathom how it was so damn Heavy! Granted Jet was used to working out so once it was in his hands he wasn't too badly off but the initial weight of the beast was enough to cause that embarrassing noise. How did she just run around with this though! She's skinnier than a twig!

Regardless of all that Jet did as he was told and started to command the pokemon to drill. The vibrations from the pokemon were enough to put Jet's nerves on edge, but seemingly his Joltik was loving it. Like it was some Joy ride while the young rocket was cussing under his breath while being drowned out by the sound of metal clashing with stone.

To make matters worse Annie started to pull at his heart strings again. But this time Jet couldn't quite hold in his angst feelings. "Oh shut up about it!" He shouted, turning his head to look over his shoulder , a small echo falling back to where they came from. He kept his gaze for a minute to see Annie's reaction. Not to relish in it but to see how she would take his words. Because the rocket didn't mean to tell her to shut up about his work ethic or lack there of. He just wanted her to stop talking about her financial situation. A situation that he may not have been directly apart of but nevertheless felt terrible about since he was duty bound to remain with those who did this to the girl.
