A successful hit. A small victory amidst the torrentous rain that continues to fall in this particular place - rain that would spread and threaten to bury Hoenn at whole, and perhaps even the world. Where does this water come from? Is not a question Fenelle should ask in this particular moment.

Averting der gaze from the ongoing battle, dee chokes on water upon seeing the drowned city from der elevated point. Even here, the water reaches now, as the battle between the Gods consumes mortality in their wakes.

Mossdeep.

Sootopolis.

The exact order of homes, and from here, dee can see the residence. Where it should be, underneath the water masses.

No winner in war.

For the glory of Rocket. All.

Der Rotom brzztes as Grimmsnarl holds Fenelle steady. A message from Walsh - Hitoshi's words, transcribed. Dee is unmoving still, and Grimmsnarl takes it upon himself to call Dondozo out, and recall himself with a last squeeze of hair. A rare moment shared between trainer and pokémon as Fenelle looks up, and nods once.

Der foot comes loose as rock slides, moved by water, but dee falls safely onto the giant back of der Dondozo. Still defeated, there's hope with Hitoshi Inoue's Life Dew for some recovery as der resolve needs to be forged by fire and water alike. Heat the metal, then plunge it into cold water's depths ...

Fenelle holds tightly onto Dondozo as the pitter patter of the rain disrupts any tapping dee might do. Still it's possible to communicate with the pressure of a still warm hand, even if the morse attempts are more awkward than usual. Noble Roar. Kyogre. The Dondozo hesitates as he locks onto the Primal Kyogre, a pokémon and water type way more formidable than he could ever be, in a state that is simply terrifying.

But on him, a human sits with a hand so still and tightly holding onto his fin, that fin might not be the same ever again. That they all might not be the same ever again. So tightly that the trembling won't have any room to unfold, unbothered by the trembling ground because all floor is already gone.

Drawing strength from every thought untold, Dondozo as whole rumbles and shakes as he Noble Roars in an attempt to weaken the Kyogre, in an attempt to soften incoming attacks, in lament of destroyed homes and pasts that are mere memory, etched into your being like craters, serving as violent reminders.

tl;dr F2
- fen finally has an eye for drowning sootopolis
- home's destroyed pt 2 watery boogaloo
- grimmsnarl calls for donodozo and recalls himself; shares a moment with fen
- dondozo catches a falling fen who clings onto the fish
- dondozo noble roars as fen mourns another set of destruction

So far, Fenelle managed to collect two of six. And with a slight drop in temperature, Vanillite announces himself, too, approaching the group with a slightly worried look on his face. It seems like there's yet another treasure frozen in an ice cube.

At the end of the performance and after giving the most deafening drum solo perhaps known to mankind, it's a miracle that the wodden sticks in Fenelle's hand haven't broken yet. There's real temptation to do the rockstar thing of destroying your instruments as the performance is over, but that drum set is a rental-

And so Fenelle simply opted to look around at the other bandmates, giving them a thumbs-up as dee has followed a written transcript of the performance as given by der Rotom tablet. Dee especially catches Kasper's eyes for a moment, seeing that it might seem like their arms might be as sore as ders.

But, the performance isn't over yet ... there's the opportunity to send a more verbal message to the League, and Fenelle has opted to pick defamation. Where their band name and some flashy lights have been, a new name appears - a music company that is known to support the League is now claimed to have sponsored this whole music, noise and light show. The consequences might not last too long, but it's fun to stir the flame a bit in seemingly unrelated ways.

Fenelle gives the Fuecoco's hard plastic bubble one flick with der finger - that hurt more than dee thought it would - sending it off flying, and also actually in a direction. It doesn't take too long until they find Magnemite with a new treasure stuck to its magnets.

Fenelle pats Dondozo as he comes to a halt. A wave of icy chill comes and assists them not to crash into spikes further, a wave that dee doesn't have to look for an origin for - it's a sure sign of jayden cross's arrival, if Hitoshi Inoue's rally is also another indication.

Dee jumps from Dondozo for the moment, wanting to allow it to rest as the water levels continue to rise - it doesn't necessarily make sense, dee can't help but think and wonder, or maybe Hoenn at large is underwater, or they're sinking land rather than rising water. But it's not like Legendaries obey any rulings ...

In Dondozo's stead, a Grimmsnarl appears - dee allows one moment for him to take in the situation as they've come face to face with several gods. Rayquaza. A false Palkia. The actual Palkia, dee can only assume. Dee stays on this uppder edge, balancing precariously sometimes but feeling fairly safe with Grimmsnarl's massive hair strands as dee nods.

Texts blinks across der vision as der world remains silent, merely touched by the cries and faces dee can see.

Grimmsnarl-Spirit Break at Mew-Palkia, dee orders to attack annalise henderson, and then grabs and holds onto one strand of black hair - so tight that the shaking of der hand might be deafened by the tension. The Grimmsnarl obeys immediately. A pink ball of energy forms, sparkling and glittery - fairy-like. But as it's tossed and hopefully finds it's target, it would twist to a darker hue, until it's fully corrupted by thoughts of defeat.

tl;dr edge of F2 (doesn't move)
- earth spikes harm is not as bad bc of jayden's ice constructs/winds
- recalls dondozo
- calls for grimmsnarl who uses spirit break on mewkia
- holds a strand of der grimmsnarl's hair tight (scared af)

For a moment, Fenelle simply lays flat on the Mantine. Maybe dee actually has given up and fallen asleep here, but then, der hand taps the Mantine, signalling it to go on. The Mantine is sceptical, but slowly starts swimming towards a massive wave as Fenelle pulls demself upright again.

Fenelle does one twirl to see if anyone is in direct vicinity - however, there's nothing. And thus, Fenelle engages the first step of the plan to a reunion ..... simply wait and see who shows up first. Eventually, one of them would - and in this case, it's actually Fuecoco.

Is it truly possible? Once is lucky, but twice ... well, Fenelle could have better things to do than try over and over again, but dee doesn't want to do anything else right now. Once a hyperfixation kicked in, it's truly hard to get rid of it again.

Fenelle frowns as the item doesn't want to dislodge itself from the ice beam at all - it's some sturdy ice that der pokémon has conjured here, and maybe dee would need to smash it against the floor up above ... speaking of which, they probably should go for lunch soon. ... but oh no. The gang has dispered itself once again.

The wish tag is quickly acquired, but it doesn't come without a price - not when Jirachi should not have yet been awake. Fenelle looks at Lulu as the question is asked, but already has decided in der mind that the answer might be Yes. As ever, der opinion might bend with what their superior would reply, but Jirachi's already taken the go-ahead.

A surge of power revitalises them and Rocket by extension - and the fight was as good as decided. The city, however, suffered the consequences of so much power - like a wildfire spreading to consume the greenery of Verdanturf, Rockets swarm out to seize total destruction ... and victory.

"A win at any cost ..."

Fenelle falls silent at Lulu's words - dee has failed to consider the fact that not only did others also have access to the Wilds, but also ... to their world by extension. It's not like there's something stopping them, except a lack of energy ... "There's always more enemies than you can count on, huh" dee eventually signs in response, and nods again at the remark about Zekrom's possible motifs.

There is also something way more interesting coming up, and hopefully not an actual encounter with the dragon of legend.

Fenelle nods, "How could one measure it ... an actual vessel to traverse Ultra Space should be really helpful in that regard. How is the Multiverse even arranged ..." Dee manages to not ponder too long, given Lulu's instructions. For starters, dee would follow the Head Scientist, and gestures for der Metagross to scan ahead with its psychic powers, too.

Dee very carefully turns on a torch that dee has brought, shining light in the battered remains of the mighty vessel. "If there's Xurkitree inside ... maybe there's some powercell intact still," dee contemplates as dee slowly takes step after step. There's an itch to take off every (probably) metallic panel and see what's beneath it, but this approach would take way too long - they'd better start at the heart of it.

There's a complacant feeling of satisfaction at seeing the pirates retreat - almost too quickly. No way they'd ever think of doing something else, no way that there would ever be a different result, but still, seeing the event you predicted happen ...

... and then, something changes and shifts.

Fenelle frowns at Hitoshi's cut of bo, not sure what this might mean - there's plenty of words that start with this. However, der thought process it brutally interrupted as the ship tilts violently to the side, allowing Fenelle only a glimpse of the magenta-coloured energy - Dynamax. Too busy holding on to sign, dee simply frowns as dee clings to the reiling, almost threatened to fall off. Grimmsnarl and Rotom are the only pokémon nearby right now, with Metagross, Dondozo and Hisuian Goodra out in the seas. Geimmsnarl pushed his weight against the upper border, trying to get the ship to tilt the right way.

Dee reads Hitoshi's transcribed message and nods, doubling down on hugging the reiling with one arm, while barely managing to sign with the other hand, ATTACK.

Dee can almost see the visible distress of der Hisuian Goodra, but the three would resume their attacks, and at least be a nuisance. Metagross Electrifies Goodra's Mud Shot, sending the mud flying with crackling electricity - somehow. Dondozo lets out a Noble Roar to further weaken any potential incoming attack.

And Fenelle simply holds on for dear life.

Hitoshi Inoue

As Fenelle scrambles away to safety, it seems like dee disrupted another pokémon that dee only catches a glimpse of. A small purple one, or perhaps it also had a little bit of green ... Fenelle squints, but has no idea right now what it might have been. Looking around at der environments, however, it should be safe to proceed deeper into the chasm now. Hopefully.
