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.

Blacephalon goes out in a bang that Fenelle only sees, and even then dee closes der eyes to avoid being blinded by the flame shooting upwards at the sky. Still, the battle's not over just yet, dee sees ... Maybe another point to give the Leaguer credit for, even if dee doubts that the Type:Null's resilience has anything to do with the white-haired. Or maybe it does, in that bond that dee only slowly starts to unravel further ...

Either way, they're still a threat that needs to be disposed of. Calculating through several scenarios, dee ponders for a moment while der pokémon act on their own. The Mega-Grimmsnarl moves to dodge, while the Bronzong moves to interfere the Tri-Attack, tanking it for the dark fairy and vanishing - it doesn't calculate often, but it's come to the same conclusion as Fenelle.

Once Grimmsnarl's gone, it's curtains.

"Tends to make the fights' lot faster," Fenelle replies to the leer with a nonchalant shrug - aiming to stir even more.

However, with the psychic gone, the Gravity lifts from the place as well - something the Grimmsnarl has anticipated given their training together, as he immediately uses this moment to strike with another Spirit Break. But there's something that dee hasn't paid much importance to, but now ... movements are way faster with the pressure of high gravity gone.

Is that ... is that Leaguer moving towards me? Dee takes a step back, now fully focusing on the white-haired. Flickers of uncertainty break through the nonchalance - what does the other have in mind?!

The Milcery nods in excitement at Vespa's request, excited but also oh-so-slowly. Fenelle takes it upon demself to reply, signing, "It's so that she doesn't evolve. She'd prefer not, and I also prefer not." Right now, she's a wildcard when it comes to taste, so it'd be a real shame to actually become something. Even if the whole process of keeping Milcery at base evolution can be a bit ridiculous sometimes.

"And ... we'll let you know," dee agrees with a faint smile, noticing (with internal reluctance), "Did we exchange numbers yet?"

Der attention is then captured by a duo of pokémon, and then the sight of the shore appearing into sight. Not, however, without their trip across the river bringing some more encounters. And this time, dee mayhaps spots the shiny pokémon first - der ball is thrown first, at least, and perhaps leads to a successful capture without the autism gang having to go ham on the Shiny Drakloak.

"... yeah, I can't imagine that being tied to a river, half-drowning is a fun experience," Fenelle nods in agreement.

Fenelle's Swampert and Bronzong go down with the Earthquake of the other Swampert. Fenelle doesn't realise what Airi's saying, given that dee has given up both of der supporting communication help. If this had been Metagross ... dee thinks for a moment, before shaking der head. They need to get a grip on.

At least on Mega-Grimmsnarl's front, the attack with Swagger is successful, and the Rocket grunts flee, leaving an empty space for Airi to face another ... at this point, the suspicion is clear, so Fenelle steps closer. Green hair that matches the Grimmsnarl's as dee takes a stand besides him, just as the Rain also clears up.

The Mega-Grimmsnarl can't fully dodge the Liquidation attack, nor can Rotom fully evade Night Slash. But even as these two start becoming more badly hurt, the expression on der face is the same frown, a stark contrast to the helpless, panicking young lad from before.

The battle's not over, as dee throws out more pokémon onto the field - a Blacephalon appears, as well as a Hisuian Goodra that immediately takes position close to Fenelle. The Blacephalon regards its opponents without a face, but still mocking somehow - before it leaps into attack immediately, throwing his head as a bomb for Mind Blown, mostly aimed at the Absol. Mega-Grimmsnarl also moves to use Stomping Tantrum on the Swampert, while Rotom aims a Confuse Ray at the very same.

The Hisuian Goodra also prepares to battle, but a strand of hair holds it back. Noises that Fenelle is unaware of, though der pokémon are aware. The sounds of a League patrol, even if there shouldn't be one scheduled going to this area ... the fight has been too noticeable, or maybe Airi called for back-up (though Fenelle deems that unlikely). Either way, an extremely confused Fenelle is suddenly lifted up by der Hisuian Goodra that starts booking it, with the others bringing up the rear as they defend for any possible follow-up attacks.

Fenelle doesn't consider the implications yet, believing to come off enough as a civilian goof that this might all not be regarded in a problematic light. It's a confidence that might bring upon der fall sometime, if der other numerous flaws aren't there to bite dem first.

Still, for now, a sword catches der attention and dee moves to catch it - just to also see a notification pop up on der smartwatch. "Oh, I'll have to go." It's the oddest call from der firm, their civilian ID firm, but dee is nothing but diligent ... even if dee adds a sigh. "Was nice meeting ya."

Fenelle shrugs, hoping that possession is barking up the wrong tree. Can ghosts be possessed, too? dee asks, though it's also a question partially at der Rotom, who doesn't seem to know either. Clover then spots what's actually wrong, however, and the reality is a bit more manageable than der suspicions.

However, now that Clover mentioned the toxic chain, Fenelle also believes that the mist around them seems to be a vaguely purple hue ... Do you know how to un-chain it? I think for some, removing the toxic chain should do the trick ... but given that it's also just a thing now, too, Fenelle ponders, but also takes a vague step backward. Does the air feel thicker or is it just dem? Rotom, keep it paralysed- or use Astonish if need be, the Rotom translates still for Clover to read, before also floating vaguely into position.

It, too, doesn't want to get too close, but it'd cause the Zorua to flinch if needed, to keep it from coming at them.

Fenelle feels demself calming down slightly after the Metagross goes down, though it also made them realise that this shit's deeper than dee thought. Dee probably should do something about that ... most definitely do something about that. It's odd for dem to think that dee would really rather not go on without this pokémon in der team ... (And how Fenelle's just the most concerned about a pokémon currently not even present.)

Dee should probably focus more on the present, however, as the other seems to be onto something. Something that dee realises just a moment too late. Given the Mega-Grimmsnarl's mass of hair, it's kind of everywhere - and while hair doesn't really conduct all that well, it's there. There's so much surface area that Fenelle almost feels demself being fried, only eased up by the Grimmsnarl using Stomping Tantrum to bring down a wall, as well as the Orthworm using Iron Tail to help with that endeavour before both of them disappear in flashes of red.

Red like the burned patches of Fenelle's skin after that experience. Dee stares at the other through a frown. "Now it's really personal."

But unfortunately, the world has other plans. Other Leaguers now also appear with the entire commotion of their battle, and it's really not too hard to figure out who's ... actually, dee could've used it, but dee doesn't feel like hiding anymore. With the damage to the servers already done, there's just out. The Rotom zaps out of the wristwatch as Fenelle books it through the small gathering of confused Leaguers, calling also for Bronzong and Greninja to bring up the rear.

Rotom ignores the other, shinier version of its kin, and instead opts to Thunder Shock the Porygon-Z while Greninja distributes Toxic Spikes in their wake. Bronzong meanwhile uses Gravity, pinning everyone down in its immediate surroundings.

Unlike Fenelle, the Grimmsnarl knows how to move quietly, stealthily. By using all of his hair meticulously, he manages to shift their position slightly in the underbrush, allow them to have a better view of the entire fight that's going on in front of them. There's four pokémon remaining with dem while two fight at the forefront. Dee's pondering the next steps as the first attacks are exchanged - instead of the Ninetales, a Swampert is hit. The fire type retreats to Airi's side, and an Absol enters the stage.

Both of Airi's attack land, but the "Grunts'" pokémon are tough, too and manage to tank at least this one.

Fenelle ponders, and eventually nods as dee taps der Rotom to get out of the wristwatch. Momentarily cut off from der "ears", dee still trusts Grimmsnarl and Rotom. A quick few signs to instruct dem before they strike, as the fight on the forefront continues on.

Though that fight might not last for long, likely, though the Swampert roars, turning her attention towards the Absol to hit it with Water Gun in the rain. The Bronzong's barely floating after the Night Slash, though it persists enough to use Extrasensory on the Swampert.

The grunts, at least, look thoroughly scared by that turn of events, not having expected to be taken down so quickly - but there's an expression of relief as they seem to look at something past Airi. Fenelle's out of sight for now, though holding a strand of the Grimmsnarl's hair as another strand does its best to catch the attention of the Ninetales - and then to Swagger him, increase his attack and similiarly confuse him. Through the hair, light also shines briefly as the Grimmsnarl Mega evolves.

From the side, Thunder Shock from a Rotom fills the air with crackling electricity, continuously as the Rotom keeps at it, sending the attack through every raindrop to damage and paralyse hopefully, though it also hits allies in the same turn. (And well, the Swamperts are unmoved by it.)

The Milcery hasn't thought about that, actually, but now that Vespa mentions it, she twirls excitedly - so excitedly yet so slowly. Fenelle looks at this whole spiel with, in fact, exasperated fondness, though it disappears quickly to make way for something replacably amicable. "Seems like she likes the idea a lot, so we'll do that. So we'll need to make it look like a stone."

Which is actually more interesting than just the usual cake.

While Vespa and der pokémon are talking Gachapon, dee only half-reads, more focusing on the pokémon around them ... but not enough to catch glimpse of the shiny first. It feels odd to them to make conversation with the ferryman, but the Ghimmighoul actually seems to shrug, as if to say it's an occupational hazard to encounter these.

"Seems like there's quite some ... though I think these are looking fine," dee mentions, then points at a Sinistea and Golett duo. Though the Golett also appears trapped on a rock and the Sinistea rather distressed ... and both of them do not pay attention to them, so Fenelle decides to give it a try and capture the Golett, help it out as one will, but ... it lands on the Sinistea instead. "Oops."

There's a moment of fear upon seeing the fearsome beast - not even fully realising its potential yet, simply a being barely tied together with string and instinct. It makes dem ponder for a sliver of a moment if the tables of the fight might turn for the worse, as it forces Fenelle to bring out a hand quickly that dee hasn't wanted to use just yet. But it's the only way to take it out, if there's any chance for it at all.

A bomb is ticking. First to strengthen itself, then ... a necessary sacrifice.

Tick, tick, tick ... A noise that Fenelle can't hear but counts down as dee reads the attack that should come - an adjustment is needed for the bomb not to go off yet, be caught and thrown, until ... Panic. The clear signs of being in over her head, as the Leaguer calls for something the Type:Null doesn't listen to.

Another reason to throw your loyalties with the right lot - dee has no idea how the other got a Type:Null, but dee doubts that Rocket would allow things beyond control to get into the wrong hands. It's so easy to wrestle it out of incapable hands, after all, though that's not something Fenelle is after. Instead, dee watches as the bomb falls, the Double-Edge connects.

Mind Blown.

An explosion that rends the Blacephalon asunder in combination with the Double-Edge, though dee has no idea if the other would survive the impact ... it's a mighty foe, and if it's not down now- it needs to go soon. Tossing der pokéball with der ace, dee also taps the Mega-band on der wrist to call for Mega-Grimmsnarl who immediately lunges for a Spirit Break - perhaps also letting it stray, attempt to inflict further panic in the trainer as well as the sparkling pink turns dark and ominous - a reflection of blood and flesh.

With a thought, a Bronzong appears on the battlefield in the Blacephalon's wake, and before the psychic link is cut, dee calls for one last command, Gravity. The heaviness of the situation bears down on dem as dee gives up a psychic awareness of der surroundings.
