Dimitri blinks down at Claude. Whenever Claude has "A Thought", it has always in the past proven to be a rather... interesting line of thought. Dimitri suspects that Claude has only become more of a cunning trickster and strategist in the time that he hasn't been paying the other man any mind. Well...
If it's Claude, then he'll of course listen.
The plan Claude presents is fairly simple in theory, although Dimitri worries about just how well it can be pulled off... but if everything is in chaos, perhaps it will do well enough. Getting the materials he needs turns out to be the trickier aspect.
After all, it requires getting a hold of a Rocket member a little lower on the ladder and who no one will really look twice at. Dimitri manages to borrow a walking stick no one had been using in the Pokecenter ("borrow" meaning he grabbed with a hasty note attached) and he uses it quite efficiently as he and Claude make their way through the market.
The problem arises in that these Grunt's are quite cowardly. Whenever Dimitri bulldozes past Pokemon and towards the Grunts themselves, they panic, especially when Dimitri deals with their Pokemon just as efficiently whenever they get in the way. That has them cowardly retreat, disappearing into the chaos. He's going to have to think of a way to get them before they can run out of reach of his weapon...
But eventually, Dimitri manages to succeed... and it isn't good enough, with the Rocket he downs literally not being a good fit. Dimitri is put onto the chase again and it's his second time that it looks as though it will be better.
"What do you think?" he asks, the two of them tucked away from the chaos in a small alley sort of situation, chest heaving and sweat along his brow.
