Fenelle nods in understanding. "I see." It would take some time getting used to, but there's no helping if there's no helping it in der mind. However, much more interesting is also the prospective of seeing what Yuan does in the Rocket laboratories ... definitely something dee is interested in. "I will stop by sometime then."

The battle takes first place in Fenelle's mind then. A neutral indifferent expression is visible, but there's a slight wince as the Dreepy chooses the worst attack to start with against a ghost. And to make it even harder, she now also becomes confused. Her first battle's really not going too well, but it's just training - a bit embarrassing, but Yuan also doesn't exactly seem to care all that much ... gladly?

"What do you do then when you're in a situation where you need to battle?" dee ponders while the fight's going on. While dee does a similiar system - just letting der pokémon act independently - it's also tied with rigorous training schedules to make sure they grow still and can hold their own. However, Yuan doesn't seem to exactly follow that ethos.

Dreepy shakes herself, but it seems to make the world only spin more. Still, she does her best to focus - and now uses Astonish instead, or at least tries to. It's really hard to focus on another floating, ghostly and zipzapping enemy if you're floating out of control.

Fenelle's fingers move subconsciously, but there's no device in der hands to make notes with. Instead, dee focuses on the text displayed - and actually, Rotom better save that - and nods in understanding. War has been equated with violence, destruction in der mind - but there's more of a system to it. Something dee can work with. Something that dee can fall back to should the worst come to happen, a set of instructions that dee can derive further instructions from.

(Like a machine learning.)

"Does securing the city mean establishing defense systems on it to hold it?" dee asks then, pondering thoughtfully, "Though this will be more of an after-battle thing. During battle ... driving out Leaguers as possible, I assume." Der eyes then look at the map again, especially fixating one particular spot that is actually coated in sentimental nostalgia.

Der mind drifts to Sootopolis as well, as dee thinks back on how life's there, being the Rocket stronghold, the invaded city, and dee nods in dawning understanding. But dee hasn't been actually here for the invasion - has been busy studying books, sheltered away, preparing, in a way, for this.

"If the situation turns dire, however ..." Der sentence trails off, trying to catch the loose ends as dee looks at the map again. "How to weigh victory against perservation?"

Fenelle agrees with Kenjiro's statement about simply continuing to mine. There's a lot of things to distract a mind here, but they do not have time for any of it. Their time here is limited, and they really need to focus so they would gather enough resources to actually make this trip valuable to Rocket at large ...

Fenelle hops down from the Metagross as the mining starts and calls for der Hisuian Goodra, too, who would both get to work as quietly as possible. (The Goodra doesn't start work without squeezing Fenelle once, however, a gesture of affection that washes over dem with a neutral expression.) Still ... some smaller inconveniences find their way towards them, but dee has Grimmsnarl out to quietly deal with those threats while keeping an eye out of anything big might want to interrupt them.

Grimmsnarl acknowledges Yakuza first with a nod - expecting that this Obstagoon would be similiar to Fen's sibling's, a silent body guard type. However, the fist bump catches him off-guard - he looks at the raised fist for a moment, puzzled, before strands of his hair move to bump against it with a puzzled expression. (Ever since joining Fenelle, most comraderies were shown in battle and blood.)

Fenelle nods at Madd's agreement, even if there's also a vague frown. "It's best not to underestimate Wo-Chien, or any legendary opponent for that matter." But there's not much room for more chatter as Underboss Fiorelli releases her patron onto the field.

Grimmsnarl steps forward, bracing himself. But there's no big, flashy attack - just an opened mouth, and. Dee doesn't command him as he briefly looks at his battle partner for the day, pointing at Wo-Chien before lurging forward for an attack.

The Rocket Grunt in the meanwhile merely seems to watch as the battle unfolds, covering der lower face with der sleeve so they wouldn't breathe in too much of the toxins.

For a moment, Fenelle looks at Jill with more interest than the disappointing Leaguer who really could not read the room, or value his life properly. It's always fascinating for dem to see a mask drop, a sudden shift in expression - and here, it's also a sentiment dee shares.

Jill's also quite effective at the threat, making Fenelle simply lean back and look at the Leaguer with a cold, calculating gaze - slightly shifting der head occasionally, as if assessing which parts would hurt the most without killing him. Or how to keep him alive as long as possible, suffering in his life's regrets.

Fenelle looks pensively at the single word for a moment, before the Rotom helpfully supplies, Me translating, maybe? in text across the screen, which causes dee to nod in understanding. "Ms Lulu Flint has given me the idea for that ... It's been very useful." But dee still's looking to replace the Rotom maybe with a Porygon line out of sheer preference - which, frankly, might be to this particular Rotom's relief.

However, they move on and this suspicion is immediately confirmed. Still, Rotom's doing its work diligently, just under actually below comfortable temperatures now.

Fenelle's no stranger to jayden cross's frigid hatred, having already faced off against it once ... and it's also this that dee takes one step towards the sword. While shields could also be effective in offensive combat, dee would rather not risk not following Admin Cross' command to a T. Still, dee looks at Mark, with a questioning look.

"Any strong preferences?"

War has descended upon Mossdeep, adding more scars to the city - a consideration for later, however, once the cries have died down. Fenelle, with dark blue hair and a partial mask, has been positioned in the city before the first waves arrived, allowing demself to properly set up for der priority mission - jam communications. Dee sits atop der Metagross in the dark room, only lit up by multiple screens with several programs running. It takes a moment until one of them finally hits, and Fenelle darts over there, feeding this particular computer more power to execute its insidious commands.

[SHUTTING SYSTEM "COLLEAGUE" DOWN ...]

Dee starts to wrap up der mission while the code finishes up setting further defense for this new block so the League would have their communications disabled for some time at least. Enough time, hopefully, for Rocket to win the upper hand. Der Rotom zaps from the computer array into der smart watch and starts to beep.

Mille. Danger. It switches the display to one of the cameras that dee's hijacked, displaying alarming news. They're heading to the space center, I believe. The screen switches to the map with two paired dots, moving.

We can't have that, dee murmurs and signs - which can't be seen and parsed by the Rotom, but that's why Metagross' psychic link's been established. Having Councilwoman Livy and Head Ranger Morales convene at the space center is bad, and dee's the nearest ... dee takes a moment to look at the footage more, seeing that they might be busy evacuating civilians, too. Quickly they inform Mark Cunningham for the moment, too, that dee won't be able to join him in the foreseeable future.

Mille here. DEL ETA for SC - LIVY and MRLS here. Will distract.

Dee looks at the screen for a moment, pausing. Then dee reaches for der pocket, and a certain device.

Fenelle nods in agreement with Jill's words, and shifts to an expression that might be called sympathetic.

"Rocket doesn't forget those who've helped us ... and neither those who've wronged us. You should be very careful when choosing your side ... especially now. Don't you want to live?"

An opportunity that would only be given if he chose correctly here. For now, just like with Jill, it doesn't matter if those words were lies, if the Leaguer might be discarded either way. It only matters if they might be real for now - if there's any chance for hope or salvation, or if every choice is damned and doomed.
