Fenelle's harbouring a certain fondness for abandoned warehouses, even if there's also been numerous annoying situations happening in one. It just seems bound to happen, and it probably would happen today again as dee makes der way towards a location where something interesting has been sighted. Der Rotom is with dem, documenting everything, as dee tries to walk as carefully as possible.

Dee becomes even more careful as dee spots something in the distance, or someone rather - a vaguely familiar figure, dee thinks, continuing onward and ...

"Oh, hi there!" a cheerful voice sounds out, though Fenelle doesn't hear it - only registers it with the Rotom tablet translating, though the tablet also appears rather disturbed, confused. After all, it sounds like the robotic voicebank that Fenelle has put together with the help of Sailor de Laurierwylle, der sibling, to use in Rocket-missions.

But there's a visual cue coming in, too - between dem and Kasper is the source of the voice, a person who almost looks like Fenelle demself. And maybe, there's even more company ...

Porygon is outside its ball as Fenelle works on something technological in the downtown area of Petalburg City. Dee doesn't pay too much attention as the Porygon wanders slightly, since there's only Rockets around anyway, so the whole disguise shebang shouldn't really matter ... however, there seems to be exceptions.

The Porygon curiously approaches the little girl in the den of wolves, recognising the other's companion - a Milcery! That's just like Milcery, but not quite. As it greets the two with a robotic greeting noise, Fenelle also looks up, having noticed that Porygon isn't where it's supposed to be ... and then sees the kid.

What is a kid doing here?

For a moment, Fenelle's gears turn to figure out who the other grunt is - a vaguely familiar face, though this all doesn't quite matter given the far more interesting gesture. While coming off as a solo-person, Fenelle is actually not quite that much of one, and the idea of another baker is appealing. So, Fenelle nods as dee makes some room for the other to occupy, carefully and swiftly packaging up some of the goods into the boxes dee has brought before.

Tapping the empty space that dee has just created, dee looks at the other Rocket with a curious expression on der face, definitely asking in silence What do you want to make?

It only occurs to dem a heartbeat later that dee probably should get Rotom to do some mediation, so dee taps der wristwatch to wake the slumbering Rotom in der wristwatch. "I'm Fenelle, or Mille," is the first thing dee then gets it to translate from sign to words, however.

"Noted, sir," Fenelle takes the question as an answer that this has happened, doing der best not to flinch as it seems like the temperature as dropped even further. "Mandatory question, sorry." But with the most obvious solution out of the way, the Porygon's called for and sent into cyberspace.

A few seconds pass in silence as the first set of analytics go through, before appearing on the laptop that dee has brought with them. Another few moments of silence that dee thankfully can spend not focusing on not trying to be intimidated.

Eventually, dee shows Admin Cross the laptop screen - the console user interface in the back with various lines of code, and a text window (notepad++) in front of it, displaying the test:

There seems to be an authorisation progress being blocked by something else ... did you download something new today, or did something update?
I can see if resetting to a prior backup will fix this, but let me know if there's any data or programs that might be affected by that.

The Porygon meanwhile appears as a little icon on Jayden's screen, before flickering onto Fenelle's screen where it seems to disappear into the calender in the bottom right.

Fenelle notices the hesitation Vespa has about exchanging numbers - and there's, for a moment, all eyes of the autism gang that are currently present trained at her, as if contemplating the horror of a social faux-pas. They've gotten quite used to exchanging numbers even with strangers in this persona, as you'd never know when such a contact might come in handy ... ... but the moment of hesitation passes without much else happening, and it seems like the world (the autism gang) takes a breath after that. "I'll send you a pic then of the stone cake."

Der attention then is drawn to something else, however, and dee locks in, not seeing the Chesnaught also caught in the river. And it also appears like ... "I could've sworn I saw the shore just now, but it's just water again." Fenelle squints at the Gimmighoul faring them, "Does it take us on the scenic route, or what?"

At least, however, there's still plenty of pokémon to catch even here, as Fenelle spots a Bramblin and throws a ball to catch it swiftly.

Quick like a rat leaving a sinking ship, Fenelle weaves expertly though the masses of Leaguers trying to stand in der way. Der pokémon assist by hindering the Leaguers, and disappearing into their balls upon defeat. Fenelle would keep those always close - it's really convenient to have this inconvenient kind of teleport if you're lacking a proper one.

Upon leaving, the building has already started to be partially evacuated, given that the entire system has been kind of fried and melted twice over. Dee doesn't see that Xuying person, but dee doesn't particularly care as dee brings out der biggest threat of der current team. A Heatran appears with eyes that seem to calculate.

A new, powerful addition.

Magma Storm. Burn it down.

It doesn't quite understand der signs, but an invitation to arson seems to always be welcome with the fire type. There'd be a fire out here, a victory after a partially successful plan. Dee would stay and watch over the flames, but after the fire's set, dee runs while starting to work on der wristwatch - only a limited amount of time to review the data since the extraction has been anything but quiet. However, any information is information, so maybe ...

But truly, it's far from the ideal.

The Type:Null goes down, which should be a good sign. However, Fenelle can't really focus on that victory with the Leaguer having something else in mind, apparently. Dee doesn't even bother hiding the shock and confusion because ...

What the fuck, Leaguer? What the fuck?

Even Grimmsnarl, reverting to his original form, seems to be a bit too perplexed to step in, which normally would be reason for a scolding, but here? Dee kind of gets it as dee starts booking it a heartbeat too late.

There's a body on dem, before Grimmsnarl could finally intervene, but there's a punch that landed. Still dazed for a moment as Grimmsnarl keeps the Leaguer away for one moment, before she'd break away again. But once that moment passes, it's definitely time to run.

At least that's something dee could do rather well, even if Grimmsnarl couldn't keep up with dem running and disappears into his ball again. "WHAT THE FUCK??" the Rotom voice wails without der continued input, simply correctly predicting Fenelle's thoughts in this moment.

Run, run, run - that Leaguer has lost it.

Dee technically won the pokémon battle, but how come the winner is the one being chased now-?!

Fenelle's Rotom manages to barely catch the words, before the world has already been warped beyond recognition. Dee finds demself on the same rock as the other, several miles high up in the air. There's more rocks next to them, seemingly inviting to jump across.

"I'm ... Fenelle," dee replies cautiously, half-shifting to Civilian persona though it's hard to break out the scaredy cat fully when dee also looks around with obvious fascination. That is, until the float underneath them starts to shake. Without much thinking, dee leaps to the next - making room for the other to follow if they'd like. "We're in the Distortion World now, I think," the robotic voice of the Rotom adds, translating der signing.
