Sylvia internally grinned at the new attire, busy playfully teasing Ozni while following him to the ride. The feeling of her new threads were pretty nice and she couldn't help but gently tracing the hem of the dress and listening to her body move in this thing. The modeling gig was a nice side track, but so far he didn't seem suspicious of it. "You can say that~" she teased him back, giggling to herself while she leaned back into the comfortable car seat. "In my line of work, it's pretty cutthroat. You gotta shake what you got or get dropped!~"

The comment about her red hair was pretty spot on. It was her favorite color, after all! The fires of her self proclaimed revolution that couldn't be stopped! Plus, she rocked it all as a ginger like this. "You've got good taste~ I used to be blonde way back when before I started. I think last time I changed it, I was either blue or black. But for you..." Sylvia winked back, leaning forward while being driven around. "I'll stick with this for a while."

His answer about a favorite typing did catch her eye. Normal-typing, so bland and so uninteresting, but reliable! Some of them had some flair and had that advantage that people didn't expect them to hold their own against some of the other people. They reminded her a lot of her precious bugs. One day, she'd have them all and show the world that they weren't weak! Wait, what was she talking about again?

Ozni showed her a picture of his team. They were a varied bunch, and it was enough to elicit a little squeal from her. She leaned into the picture and clapped her hands in amusement.

"You guys seem like a pretty tight bunch! But me? I've got the cutest Scizor, Mawile, and Grapploct! And a Rabsca too! We're a pretty cool team~"

She puffed her chest out to boast to her friend, happy to show off in front of him.

"Anyway, what's on your mind for where we'll eat?"

Ozni Adebayo

Sylvia looked over to Shalin as the woman would introduce herself as one of the world's greatest explorers. The ginger looked at the woman with an elated glory. She beamed widely, clapping both hands together. "Wow, a world explorer! I'm a bit of an explorer myself!" She smiled, giggling to herself as she had been smitten with her gigantic Beedrill. She bounced all around, observing the bug type from every angle. "And you have a Beedrill! Look at how big you are! You're super well fed!" In a blur, she was on the ground, finger tracing along the Beedrill's drill appendages without a care in the world. "And these things are super sharp! The stinger is kinda small though, but I'd imagine that's because they're always flying more so than battling." Sylvia diagnosed Shalin's partner before then taking a bow herself. "I'm Sylvia. Resident bug expert, revolutionary and aspiring main villain! But that would depend on who you ask~ It's nice to meet you both! And okay, Elise! You'll be just some old rando I know then!" She might have not understood why any royal would want to really not be treated like a princess, but to each their own.

Once arriving at the clock, Sylvia began to look around, finding it rather odd that everything was all broken like this. "Kinda looks like a tornado or something came through here or something." She said, looking for an entrance of some kind. Lucky for her, there came to be two massive steel doors standing before the woman as she would staring paroozing around in search of something or other.

She was teasing him, but he was firing back with just as much liveliness that she was known for! It made her all the more elated at finding somebody that wasn't such a stick in the mud about things. She giggled as her smile grew bigger and bigger with every tease, until Ozni's judgement had decided upon her attire. "Letting the locks flow! I'll be baaaaack~" She said, hurrying back inside of the changing booth. Her options were at least a little bit easier as she'd pick through the racks of clothing on an outfit. The woman's hands raised a couple of choices in front of a mirror as she'd smile at them. She'd have to look her best for him so that they could have the greatest night ever. They had only just met and he was already super cool compared to everyone she met so far. So maybe the flowing dress would look better? Or something like the turquoise one? Decision, decisions! There had to be something here that would wow him and his dumb, handsome face!

After some time, she found the perfect dress. A sly smile crept over her face as the spy would throw it on perfectly and then take a look at herself in the mirror. "Perfect!" Sylvia's hands began to mess about with her hair. It was a quick trick to make it look a bit more stylized while maintaining its natural shape. Something she had learned across her many sort of jobs while acting as a spy. Maybe she wasn't a top agent, but she had her fair share of outings. And guys kind of likes a little curl, right?

Sylvia stepped out wearing her chosen dress, giving a twirl for Ozni as she'd be beaming at the rich kid. "Ready to go! Does this suit your fancy?~" The redhead teased him while then following him to the checkout. She wore heels with it and must have given the cashier and staff a rather noticeable amount of confusion as the raggedy person that had been let in was now rocking this dress on the way out. "Thank you again, Ozni. I'll pay you back, promise!" Of course, she'd eye the total price and severely doubt it was possible, but she'd have to find some type of way.

Once they were back in the ride, they had some time to kill as Sylvia would start asking things. They were easy ones, like what Ozni did on a day-to-day basis, his hobbies, small talk. Stuff to pass the time. He seemed nice enough, and there wasn't any reason to clam up about herself to him. She could have stuck with that teacher identity and its whole story about being born to a loving family and stuff, but Oz probably didn't care much. Besides, how would he find out about her actual self?

"Before the teaching job, well, I guess I still do, but I try fashion modeling and things. I have a lot of different shoots for any project, really. So I have to dye and color my hair a lot. It's red now, but it might be blonde or blue sometime soon~" A nice cover for her many disguises she went through for different disguises. Of course, she'd continue to shower her love for ICEE and sometimes look up to Ozni before turning away super fast as their gaze met.

"So Oz, you have ICEE, but do you have any other Pokémon? And what's your favorite type? I'm a total bug-type freak since I was young. I spent a bunch of times outdoors."

Ozni Adebayo

"Whoa, this place is kickin'!" SYlvia said, the woman throwing her arms wide open as she gazed out at the landscape of metal and iron before her. Her eyes darted to every nook and cranny, eager to find some kind of insect or bug of some kind. The other two women with her were obvious first timers, alongside her of course. But it didn't really matter much to Sylvia. She was just happy to be here and roaming around. "Do you think they have bugs in Ultra Space?" she asked Shalin. She looked kind of like somebody who knew their way around Pokemon, especially ones that weren't in her immediate interest. Spekaiing of which, her eyes locked onto the other woman as she narrowed her eyes.

"Hey...Aren't you that one girl in the royal family...Califeet, right?" Sylvia asked, rubbing her chin, but would then shrug to herself. "Anyway, we should stick together since we're in a location without any knowledge of what to do. Our minds must remain focused, our will unbreakable, and all that other stuff Boss always- Hey, lookit that!" Her hand pointed at a broken clock towards that was a over the hill nearby. One that was derelict and had obviously seen far better days. One hand was missing, that being the hour hand, and holes across its faces showed a lack of care supplied to it for quite some time.

"I bet there's something cool in there. Abandoned locations in dangerous places is always a surefire sign that you're on the right spot. Let's go!" Before they could stop here, Sylvia ran off to go further investigate the clock tower.

Sylvia wandered around in the shiny new simulation while looking next to the woman beside her known as Madeline. She hadn't met her before, and this was as good a time as ever. They stumbled upon a woman clad in black that stood before them. Sylvia beamed widely, even at that sultry tone looking at them with discontent. "Wow, that must be a threat!" The red head said, grinning to herself. A pokeball was thrown out and her Scizor was called to the front. Without even asking for Madeline's input, she'd point at the women, even knowing her friends in the shadows. "Gendri, Bullet Punch!"

Upon seeing Oz blush, Sylvia would giggle to herself. That little expression of a predator sizing up something that took their interest. The red head continued to praise ICEE and all of his perfect little self. She was aware of those scientific types that frowned upon the fossil Pokémon found in Galar that weren't exactly constructed as they were a bajillion years ago. But Sylvia had found their survival of this process as twisted as it was inspirational. Going against the vine and finding ways to continue living despite one teensy little genetic mishap. Sure, one had its head on backwards, but imagine how much cooler it looked!

"I agree! ICEE here's just one of many cute lil' guys running around. Those stupid professors can shove it as far as I'm concerned." The Arctozolt was certainly as gleeful as she was to be having a fun day out. Her ticket to a good time was as good as checked, as he agreed to take her to some place that would let her take a hot shower and to get a change of new clothing. Sylvia would beam widely while she'd gave a curtsey to the man. "Nice to meet you, Oz! A car does sound nice, but let's take a walk. Besides, I wanna get to know you and ICEE if we're going to be dining together~" Sure, Sylvia did find herself flushing a tad, but a meal was a meal! Just making a new friend was a bonus.

"Lead the way~"

The first stop on the way was a nice little club that Sylvia hadn't been to before. The clothing was kind of bleh, but a shower was a shower. "Wait for me out here, 'kay?" she grinned and would quickly take herself into the washrooms. The looks she got from some people while taking off snot covered dress wasn't the strangest but certainly up there. Once fully nude, the red head would step inside of the shower and begin the long process of cleaning herself. While doing so, she thought about her host for this little impromptu date. Was this a date? Technically at this point. "I mean, he is kind of cute. I'm not against this being a date. But this is just work! If this guy's loaded, that must mean he's rubbed elbows in the right places. Which means more angles to work from." Sylvia washed her hair, fingers combing the sticky mucus from her locks while quietly trying to work through her thoughts. It took about twenty minutes to finish up. Her clothes here would just have to stay here. They'd be burned either way, as per Rocket protocols. So only one thing to do.

"Hey Ooooooz!" Sylvia called out, walking out to the dismay of many as she was wearing a white cotton robe that she may or may not have nicked from the washing room closets. It covered her from the shoulders to the mid thighs, but seeing this woman wander around like this without an ounce of shame may have been a bit odd. "Ready to go!" she winked, holding a thumbs up while keeping her robe secure with her free hand.

They'd walk to his car normally or maybe some kind of ride there, but Sylvia would walk alongside the man nonchalantly. "Thanks so much for the trip to the showers. ICEE's snot is tougher to get off than I thought. I diiiid overhear a couple of the girls talking about one of those fancier clothing outlets nearby. Le Chatote. I bet we can get a fancy dress there!" SYlvia bubbled at Oz while continuing to seem happy enough with their outing so far. Sure, she was wearing only a bath robe and kind of not too worried about how it came off, but the woman was much too busy blabbering baby talk to ICEE. Eventually the two would arrive at the shop. It did take some convincing to let Sylvia inside and that she wasn't trying to steal anything (it was really hard!) but they did get in! She tried to up the ante and really press the right buttons with this guy. That way she'd have a nice little charm to her!

"Okay, Oz. Since you're treating me, then I'll treat you! Pick which look you think I should wear!" Sylvia said, throwing together a quick selection from the dress racks inside. The first pick was a more traditional sundress, white colored and perfectly embroidered with a nice trim. It clashed well with Sylvia's bright red locks. She even had her hair up in pigtails. "How's this? Too summery for you? Or maybe you want a cute kind of partner." A few poses and a cutesy kind of wink later, Sylvia went back and changed back into another outfit. This took about a few more minutes to put on but when she came out, Ozni was treated to something new indeed.

"Ohn, my apologies, monsieur~" Sylvia said in a Kalosian accent. She'd show off this brilliant, flowing white dress that went to her ankles and connected at the neckline. Her red hair was let free and loose, purposefully a bit untamed to give her a sort of "contained chaos" look. Designer earrings dangled from both ears while she'd grin at Oz. "I thought zis would be to your liking, non? A more proper look for a partner of your status." Another quick grin before she flipped back into the dressing room. Once again, some minutes went by as the woman in red got dressed again.

"And lastly!" Sylvia's voice came before the curtain was pushed aside again. This time, she came out in a businesswoman outfit, but obviously appealing to certain demographics more than others. Sylvia swayed her hips while walking to Oz with a stern and serious expression. One that appeared far more serious. Her eyes were narrowed, her focus unshaken and there was a deliberate amount of arrogance in the way she walked. "Good afternoon, Mr. Adebayo." Even her tone had changed, matching that of a sultry secretary. Even the way her hair was styled over one eye. "Our day's chock full, so I'm afraid your 9'o clock walk will have to be cancelled. I have the reports from the desk workers ready to go and your coffee just how you like it. But the question remains..."

She giggled again. Just like a flip of the switch, Sylvia would return to her bubbly self again. "Which one do you think fits me?"

Ozni Adebayo

Ahoey! Sylvia here, ready to have some plots with this little bundle of fun known as Xenon! As shown in the S.P.E.C.T.R.A. Trials, she can be a little bundle of chaos that's a bit more chaotic than her or Shred, maybe even more so.


Despite this, she's a loyal little sidekick/servant that loves nothing than to have a little fun and even more choatic! Plus, Xenon could always get Sylvia back for that little playful ass grope she made after her clothes got charcoaled off!

The poor Octavio was scorching alive binding the Moltres together, his skin becoming well cooked and likely tasting good with some spices and tenderized meat. Eating Pokemon aside, Sylvia wasn't going to just just and watch the other people take her spotlight! Although the other two were taking care of things by themselves. Xenon's Iron Juglius went forth and chewed, bit and literally carved their way into the Moltres as it was doing its best to tera out its throat, but not before literally using Hyper Beam to blow the legendary away. The legendary bird would squawk in pain, as the bird was still holding onto some semblance of life. Octavio, although missing some Tentacles, would still be holding strong, as Sylvia went to called out to him. "Keep holding on, Octavio! Flex those muscles!" The Grapploct would puff himself up, growing in size and strength as the Moltres did get a wing free, although was still pinned against the ground. It was starting to droop down again, but with all this lava everywhere, who was to say that it could just take a dunk and then proceed to resurrect itself again?

Fortunately, Shredder was present and ready to rock and roll! His Toxtricity and Slither Wing both work together in order to deal with all that pesky old lava. The poor Slither Wing did have some kind of energy in it, buffeted tenfold as it would cast Earthquake around itself. the ground shook violently, with Onna flopping around before steadying itself against its nude trainer, as the heat inside of the volcano would disappear as the substance flowed out of the cavern. The heat inside subsided with a slowly cooling air as the Moltres would be robbed of its power source. Sylvia smiled at the wounded Onna, pointing at the weakened bird.

"Alright, Onna! Let's finish this! Time for one last bite!" Onna cheered, hurrying back to the Moltres just as it erupted from Octavio's grasp, the Grapploct completely fried. It turned its head just in time to see the Mawhile biting down on its neck, teeth digging into an orange plume as the bird weakly flailed to unlatch the dark type from its throat. Yet no matter how hard it would flap its wings or soar up into the air, Onna wouldn't budge. The Moltres would take off into the air, speeding until they were a blip into the air as all was still. Yet only thirty seconds later, a shape would be careening towards the arena. As it grew closer, the legendary bird crashed into the earth, wiping out half of the arena with it as the earth was crushed beneath the weight of the legendary. As the earth and rocks stilled, Moltres laid motionless, the flames on the quills slowly dying out as the trio were left victorious.

"WE DID IT!" Sylvia said, all the adrenaline pouring out of her. She jumped in celebration, racing around as she hugged Xenon tight, her chest smothering the smaller woman as she twirled her around, a hand playfully pinching her rear in return. "You were amazing, XenXen~ And your Pokémon were pretty hype too!" Just as fast as she was doting upon the lavender haired woman, she pranced over to Shredder, doing the same as she'd grin widely, flicking his nose. "And you too, Shredder! Sorry about your Pokémon, though! When we're done, I'm gunna snuggle your Slither Wing super hard~" Once the Moltres was defeated, the party was then taken out of simulation, with Sylvia back and fully clothed. They'd be escorted out of the room as the leaders would evaluate their performance.

Shred Zeppelin | Xenon Antheil

Wew, being nude in a volcano was such hard work! Sylvia did look super pleased as Xenon would screech to high heavens about defeating Moltres. the smaller girl scurried around like the busy little Spinarak that she probably was. Instead of building webs, she was off flaunting her big brain and doing her best not get her head stuck in the sand about details. Xenon checked Shredder and exclaimed her excitement as SYlvia couldn't help but pump herself up too. She walked over to smile at the sole male of the Shredettes, offering a hand. "Hehe, good job, Shreddy~ You're really good at beating up birds and getting attacked by things smaller than you!" Just as she was done joking, a sudden smack on her behind had caught Sylvia off guard. She turned around to see Xenon celebrating as the adrenaline no doubt was buzzing around inside of her. So she'd just have to get even when they were able to.

Unfortunately, as the ground shook as the temperature increased to sweltering levels again, that might have to wait.

"Oooooh, right. I forgot! It probably could heal itself using fire. Silly little me!" She konked her head again at Shredder, eying her two Pokemon. Onna was a bit damaged but Octavio was the last option. Fortunately, she had just the idea on how to get the upper hand on this bird. Or maybe, upper tentacle! The brains of the trio would be caught unaware, watching as Argon the Gengar would blast her away to safety, taking the brunt of lava as it scorched the Pokémon...Hang on, weren't Ghost types supposed to be noncorporeal? Whatever that word meant? Sylvia felt her grin widen. The desperation, being pressed against the wall and being forced to fight back. It was intoxicating, even Xenon's cries out for her little friend. Sylvia just wanted to shove her nerdy, cute little face in it just so she could drink in what awaited them if they failed. Well, not really since this was a simulation, but still!

"Alright, ladies! This is perfect!" she cheered the two on, punching the air in excitement. "We're low on Pokemon, low on morale, and even losing our favorite furry friends! Drink in all of it! Grow big and strong so we can beat this-AUGGH!"

Moltres wasn't in the mood for monologues, shooting a spray of flames at Sylvia as she was only licked by the side of her body. The burst of speed had cleared most of the danger, but she looked at her right thigh and arm. Third degree burns for sure. She didn't feel anything just yet, and the odd desire to poke the destroyed skin was strong, had it not been for the legendary bird currently eyeballing the Skeledirge. It clashed with the fire type, eventually sinking its claws inside of it and soaring into the cloudy air, disappearing into the mist. Sylvia huffed, glancing around as the corpse of the Skeledirge would fall back into the lava. Things were looking pretty tough, even more so now! But Sylvia looked at Octavio and recalled why she had taught him that move so long ago. The one which embodied her way of thinking, even if it probably wasn't used just for that.

"Onna, Sweet Scent!" The Mawile would begin to shake its head about, unleashing a visible pink mist. It smelled of the sweetest things imaginable, producing a claming effect on everyone nearby. But Sylvia could care less about how they were doing. The Moltres wouldn't be super effected by it, but its rage was slowly beginning to settle down enough to where it wasn't going berserk. She'd then point at the Moltres swooping down towards them as Sylvia whistled for her trusty octopus. "And you, Octavio! Octolock it!" The fighting type slithered around the ground, raising its tentacles up to be ready to catch the incoming legendary, and when it did, the strength disparity between the two wasn't so massive. All that flexing before really worked it up! Octavio was pushed closer and closer towards the lava pit as Moltres pushed harder and harder against it. But just as things seem grim, and one of its tentacles would dip inside, causing searing pain to course through itself, the Grapploct would pushed back.

The Moltres, caught unaware of this, would be pressed against the ground. The electric terrain had zapped the bird something fierce, along with this morsel in front of it refusing to be perished. As it tried to take off into the air, Octavio would wrap around its wings and neck, coiling around them. It cried out, trying to rock back and forth to free itself from the hold as Sylvia turned to her allies.

"Hit it with everything you've got! Don't worry about Octavio, I've got a plan!"

Shred Zeppelin | Xenon Antheil

Sylvia was super proud of this teamwork going on! Maybe they weren't gonna die after all! Xenxen was taking care of things like the little boss that she was, and Shredder was busy doing…whatever it was that he did! Their attacks had been culminating into a full fledged assault that had turned the legendary into a sand bag, ready for punching. It had been lulled into a drowsy state from the Skeledirge, fighting any urges to take a breather. After Shredder's last attack, he motioned for her to end it, as Sylvia would be more than happy to oblige. But of course, not without her fun!

"Alright, Octavio!" she said, scooping up Onna in her hands and running towards the Grapploct. "Throw us up on that bird!" Even her Pokémon looked stunned by the request, but it would gently use four of its tentacles to seat Sylvia. After words, it's then would rotate its limber body around, going slow at first before gradually speeding up until Sylvia and her Pokémon were a blur of speed. After a second or so more, the woman was thrown directly at the Moltres.

During the flight there, Sylvia whispered something to her Mawile and threw her up into the air as hard as she could before looking at the fast approaching legendary bird. The red head's hands were held out to catch herself on the body of this flaming beast before hitting the soft, hot plumage with a soft thud. The impact roused the bird from its slumber, now flapping its wings and shrieking at the intruder in order to shake it off of its body. Sylvia, meanwhile, would saddle it and throw her legs over the neck of the bird and ride it happily. Joyous laughter erupted from her mouth as the bird was fully awake now. "Woohoo! You guys should try this!" she yelled to them, oblivious about the danger this caused to everyone around her. The Moltres would launch Flamethrowers at wild, smash its body into the walls of the volcano, even flap its wings and raise the temperature, solely to get the human off of it. Sylvia had ducked, dodged, and crawled to the front of Moltres, feeling the intense heat all around her. Fire and smoke filled her nostrils, although she was much to busy to really pay too much attention to where it was. With a single hand, she'd either put the fire on her uniform out or tear it off away from the rest entirely.

Her attention moved to the Scoliopede Xenon had been with. The poor thing was all burnt to a crisp, but Sylvia knew it would get super strong as a result of this torture. But thankfully, there was just a perfect way to get her big and beefy. "Hey Xenxen!" Sylvia said, looking back as the Moltres raised its head to launch another Flame Blast at the pest attached to it. "Think fast!" She scurried up to the head quickly, the searing heat from the plumage causing her to be partially burned as the bird raised its head with her crawl, launching the blast of fire in the direct path of the Scoliopede.

She crawled back onto the main body, with Moltres' head perfectly positioned and waiting for her. But Sylvia grinned as it was charging another attack. It let out a cry, one that Sylvia didn't understand too perfectly. But she could guess! "What am I doing? I'm just distracting you from the actual attack! Look up!" From above, Onna would be careening down towards the two, its back mouth raised out and ready to attack. The Moltres would begin to open its beak to launch an attack…

"Onna, bite down!"

The Mawile's mouth crunched down on Moltres' beak, forcing it down as it's flame attack wasn't able to come out. Sylvia patted the body of the legendary bird, waving at it. "Thanks for the ride, Moltres! Sorry about this." She then leaped off as Onna stayed to prevent the fire from leaving Moltres' beak. The flames on its plumage grew larger, brighter as it was absorbing the fire. More and more as the temperature raised again. The Moltres began to glow a fiery red color as the fire inside of it grew and grew. Octavio reached to catch Sylvia as she'd look to the other two. Gotta time this just right…

"Looks like we can consider this bird…" Sylvia said, twirling around and making a dramatic pose. But nothing happened behind her. She waited, tapping her foot as she cleared her throat. "I said we can consider this bird!" Again, no boom or sound of defeat. She huffed and waited before, eventually, the fires inside of the bird had built up just enough that-

KA-BOOM!

An explosion of fire and flame, with the Moltres careening back towards the ground, utterly defeated. The bird's form slowly landed in the lava, as Onna would fall behind her, damaged from the force of the explosion. Sylvia swung back around for the cameras, her team and the admins. "Looks like we can consider this bird cooked!~"

She also didn't really realize that her little stunt had burnt her uniform to a crisp and was currently semi nude in a sweltering hot volcano. Sylvia wasn't really phased, only offering a cheeky grin to her teammates. "Easy peasy for the Postmodern Shredettes!"

Shred Zeppelin | Xenon Antheil

Even inside of this water bubble, Sylvia was being boiled alive in this heat. They were making some progress already, with the Moltres being pushed back a little by their combined efforts. The poor bug that got scorched by a stray fire attack had made the girl all the more determined to turn this flying cookout into yesterday's charcoal. No poor bug would suffer a same fate if she had to say anything about it. XenXen used some quick thinking to bring the Moltres down thanks to a nicely timed Thunder Bolt. It made the bird attempted to ward its attackers off as Sylvia looked back at her Pokemon. Both seemed a bit roughed up, but in good health.

"Good thinking, XenXen~" she cheered, pointing at the fallen Moltres. "Alright, you two! Let's cook this bird! Fury Cutter it, Gentri!" The Scizor sped towards the legendary, raising its claws to strike as the head caught sight of its approach. With a fiery cry and a blast of flames, the poor steel and bug type was caught in the worst possible spot imagineable. The gyser of flame erupted from Moltres' beak, causing the partially melted Pokemoke to drop to a flaming husk before them. Sylvia's facade broke for just a moment as her eyes widened. The sight of watching one of her very first Pokemon just die a horrible painful death was chilling. The test didn't matter, a painful, fiery demise didn't matter, only a bleeding heart that was so carefully being shoved in a corner to be forgotten about. Just as quick as it fell down, the mask would slide back up again. It was like she said. The hurt would make her stronger. Gentri would be stronger.

"Heh, guess I shoulda gotten another Pokemon." She shrugged at her team, offering a wink and a playful knock of her head.

Still, she had two Pokemon that were doing fine. Onna was a little put off but what happened to the Scizor, but ready to go. With the Moltres on the ground, she had an opportunity. "Sucker Punch it!" The Mawile stormed up to the bird, aiming a flashing arm and coiling it back before it could strike out against the legendary. Sylvia smiled, rubbing Octavio's shoulders(?) while grinning gleefully. "And you, aim for the head and fire when I say." The Grapploct nodded, standing on its tentacles in a way that was akin to a mounted turret. He carefully aimed for the head of Moltres as Onna swung her arm. The bird had caught it with its wing and raised the limb, ready to smash the Mawile with a fire filled plumage...

"Octazooka, go!"

Octavio spat out a spot of watery ink at Moltres' head. As the wing swung down at Onna, it was interrupted by the sudden impact of the water type projectile against its head. It screeched at the pesky interruption, as the ink seeped into its plumage, staining it with a nasty mark. Onna was pushed back some, but safe from ending up like Gentri. Even Shredder would work his magic with a nick of poison. Her eyes shoot towards the Scoliopede as those green eyes get an idea in them. And when Sylvia had an idea, it was usually a bad decision for everyone involved.

"Doing good so far, guys! We're not dead yet! But we probably will be soon!"

Sylvia got to work quickly, taking a look down at her watch to see their target given by the administrator. TO her surprise, it was one of those super cool mythical birds. Moltres, which meant it was a fire type! This information was pretty alarming considering that her Scizor and Mawile would be at a disadvantage entirely from this little simulation. Yet despite this, she'd get the biggest grin on her face, turning to her teammates with an apologetic expression. "Wow, I'm is gunna be a lead weight. But that'll just make things fun while XenXen does all the work for us!" Right before Shredder could utter out another little retort at Xenon, they'd find themselves in the heart of a volcano. Her pores began to sweat as Sylvia wiped the sweat from her forehead. Wew, it was pretty hot in here! So hot that it almost felt real. The other people currently present must have felt it as well, as the Avatar of Hatred would burst forth from the magma and hover before them. Sylvia tossed all three of her Pokeballs out, summoning her team to her side. A Scizor, a Mawile and an Grapploct, each letting out their own cries. But Sylvia's eyes remained glued to the Moltres and a grin came to her face.

"Do you think I can ride on it?" she asked the other two, oblivious to their ongoing spat with one another. Regardless, their tiny and terrible self appointed leader would lead the charge in with Shredder following suit. She looked at her pokemon, each looking as uncertain as the next. Gentri himself looked to be the most affected, though she'd shake it off for her owner. "Let the suffering commence!~" Sylvia said cheerfully while pointing at their fiery bird enemy. "Gentri, pepper it with some Bullet Punches! And then go for its legs, Onna!" The Scizor went into action, aiming its claws at the Moltres and flying forward, cutting, slicing and every other verb in the dictionary! It likely had very little affect considering the type disadvantage, but Sylvia knew it was what made good Pokemon gooder! The Onna followed suit, leaping up as it turned its head to reveal the stronger mouth on the back of its own. opening wide, it attempted to

"As for you, Octavio~" Sylvia said, grinning still. "Start pumpin' up! We're gunna need you fit and limber~"

Xenon's Pokémon thankfully helped keep the trainers as cool as it could, using Hydro Tail to create a cooling area that lessened the effects of the heat. The Grapploct used this prep time as it would begin to flex its body every way, pumping itself up as its muscles were beginning to grow more visible. Things were heating up, literally! Yet Sylvia would suffer through all of it willingly. In a way, she was hoping that it would be this hard for her. Something to really push her so far past her comfort level, she'd have to kick into high gear.

"I should have brought a swimsuit. This uniform sucks for the heat..."

Well, she couldn’t say that the little guy or girl wasn’t energetic! Its claws got tangled in her crimson locks as the woman tried to calm it down a bit before tumbling down to the ground with the creatures entangled in her hair. She struggled a bit to keep it from tearing out chunks while her arms went to help it free itself. "H-Hey! Calm down, Let me just try and help." It took a fair bit of wiggling around, but eventually, Sylvia was freed, though not without a shower of snot. It absolutely ruined her uniform and disguise, but she did love a good chance at cuddling with a Pokemon she had never seen before.

"Looks like ICEE likes me a lot." Sylvia joked to Oz, laughing to herself as she tried to wipe some of the blue tinged mucus from her hair and failed. Despite the mess she was in, all she could do was laugh and try to shower the little girl in more affection, this in turn ensuring she got into more of a mess. Her hands gently stroked the ancient dino’s mane, even following the man’s strokes in an attempt to make sure she could end up on this thing’s good side. "If they make little lizards as cute as this gal, no wonder those scientists try and make puzzles out of dino bones! She’s a cute lil’ girl, isn’t she?~"

Her proposal hadn’t fallen on deaf ears. The grin this guy made was enough to seal the deal for Sylvia. "I get to pet some cool old ass Pokemon AND get free food? This is the greatest post firing ever! What’s the most expensive place in town? I’m gunna eat like a Queen!" The Rocket spy thought to herself, internally smiling in glee as she would have to treat herself the best way: with somebody else’s money!

But first, she might need a quick little stoppie stop.

"Dinner with a handsome guy and his fossil pal sounds like a plan to me!" Sylvia said, beaming at him. The money was a bonus, but it helped that the guy was pretty good looking. All the rich guys were, after all! "But would you mind if we went somewhere for a set of new clothes or some kind of place with a shower? I don’t think any classy place is going to let somebody like this in." She asked, wiping a bit more snot from her clothes before offering a hand to the man.

"I’m Sylvia, by the way. Nice to meet you~"
