Mòrag, for several reasons, was content to just sit in silence and wait for their targets to arrive. She was no friend of the League and its members, and she had no intention of changing that state of affairs. With every intention to remain aloof, any attempt to try and break that would be met with hostility, which was exactly what happened. The mask slipped but for a moment, disdain creeping its way into her features as she responded.

“Now what is it you-?”

She stopped herself, snapping her mouth shut as she thinned her lips in an obvious effort to calm herself down. Exhaling softly, her usual smile would return.

“Hmmhmm. Well, I suppose if we’re working together, I can entertain the idea of conversing with you.” She said, no evidence in her voice of her near outburst, “Anyway, Hoenn. It’s certainly a unique region. I’ve no doubt I will never grow bored here, nor will the League run out of dirty work to make me do in their stead. Team Rocket activity also seems to be particularly concentrated in this region, which means more opportunities to thwart their operations and crush whoever is working for them, which is something I most certainly appreciate. Perhaps I should have moved my gang here instead of remaining in Galar, but alas, that’s not much of a possibility anymore.”

"just making conversation."[break][break]

that, along with how it would just be awkward for them to stand there in the small space in absolute silence, still do not make up the whole truth. matias prods more as casually as he can.[break][break]

That burning reminder. A displeased sneer came onto Mòrag’s face at the mention of her being tied to the League, though it went as quickly as it came. She knew it to be true, however. Though legally, she was not technically a part of the League, the reality was anything but. She was to be at their beck and call, taking care of their dirty laundry, or face the consequences if she didn’t. And if she were caught out? She was on her own. The League could and would leave her out to dry if it put them in any sort of difficult position.

Which was why the suggestion that this was somehow beneficial galled Mòrag so.

“Beneficial, hmm?” She repeated, pausing for a moment, though whether it was to calm herself down or contemplate what he said was unclear, “Do tell me how, Captain. It doesn’t take a genius to realise that this position I am in is not of my own choosing. I am effectively a slave to the League’s desires, the only difference being that I receive a salary. If you, at any point, were displeased with me, you could take that to the League and I'd be effectively fucked.”

Mòrag wasn’t stupid: Matias had an angle here he was trying to pursue, judging by where he seemed to be trying to lead the conversation, likely along the lines of trying to convince her of the potential benefits of working for the League or even him in particular. It did make her a touch curious, though…

Well, then…

Whatever Mòrag was expecting, it most certainly wasn’t this. She blinked, genuine surprise showing on her face as she heard what he had to say. Then…

“Hmmhmm…” A growing smirk formed on her face, which gave way to laughter, “… Hahahahahahaha!” A thoroughly amused grin was plastered on her face, though it was not in mockery, mind you. More so, she seemed genuinely entertained by the curveball he had just thrown her.

“If you were attempting to pique my interest, captain, you’ve succeeded!” Even as she spoke, the grin did not leave her face, “Very well. I’m not entirely sure what game it is you’re playing, but I’ll play it along with you, if only because I’m curious to see where it goes.”

She would continue, but… the sounds of conversation outside instantly changed her demeanour, eyes darting towards the door as the main door to the break room would open. It seemed like they hadn’t been heard, however, and Mòrag would turn her gaze towards Matias with a small nod.

"good." matias is never one to fail. "welcome to the squad."[break][break]

not much else needs to be said, really, so he's not too bothered by the eventual appearance of those they're here to put to sleep. his eyes dart towards the door as well, then back to her to return her nod.[break][break]

slowly, quietly, his morelull crawls up his back to sit on his shoulder. he picks it up, holds it in one hand, then prepares to toss it into the room.[break][break]

"whenever you're ready," he whispers.

“Why, thank you, captain.” She responds with a smirk. Though she had agreed to the arrangement he proposed, it wasn’t as if she was about to say sir, yes, sir to him. She suspected, however, that he didn’t care that much if his demeanour up to this point was anything to go by.

With that said and done, her attention would turn fully to the people just out the door they were in. She slowly approached it, putting her hand on the handle before…

She would abruptly bust it open, a shit-eating grin on her face as she looked into the room. Three men, looking rather relaxed. At least until she opened the door, upon which they all scrambled about like startled Meowths.

“Mind if I join in?” Mòrag commented cheekily.

“W-We’ve been discovered, run!”

“Don’t run, fight her!”

They would start arguing amongst each other about what to do with the sudden intruder, which would surely give Matias ample time to throw Morelull into the room.

she buys him more than enough time; so much so that he has the chance to stop and admire the panicked scene before him. after a chuckle, he finally throws his morelull into the room.[break][break]

it lands smack dab in the middle with a hefty SPLOOT! moments after impact, a spore of SLEEP POWDER bursts into the air, dispersing across as it very quickly lulls them off to a deep slumber.[break][break]

one by one they fall.[break][break]

The plan worked perfectly: Mòrag’s diversion allowed Matias the time to toss his Morelull at them, and they were utterly unprepared for the sudden attack, falling into sleep and allowing them an easy victory. At Matias’ comment, Mòrag smirked.

“Yes. Quite.” She commented, waiting for the powder to fade before entering the room, “You may be more used to fighting straight up battles, but I was very often at a disadvantage back in Galar. Any tool that could be used to gain an advantage was taken full advantage of. Nowadays, it’s just sort of how I think in regards to missions… most of the time anyway.”

She looked to the now fast asleep men, “And I’ve also come up with some funny tactics. Criminals expect cops to come in telling them to put their hands up, and they know how to act. They don’t expect a random woman popping her head in and acting as if she broke into a slumber party. It takes them aback, if only for a moment… and it’s quite entertaining to watch their faces as they try to make out if you’re actually serious.”

With the dust slowly fading into nothingness, she would deem it safe to walk into the room, looking around for a bit before speaking again.

“We should probably put them in a corner while we wait.” She said, moving to fetch one of the men. While she didn’t show it in obvious fashion, her sudden drift into her thoughts suggested worry, for obvious reasons. Mòrag was about to meet one of her old mates. What was she to say to him? What was he even doing here? And why was he engaging in dealings with Team Rocket. Questions swam in her head as she went about her task.

"yes. this is definitely more efficient. less fun, though."[break][break]

because there's no real fight. this is an ambush, an easy way to catch their opponent off guard.[break][break]

and again, her suggested plan is one that'll make the situation a whole lot easier. he shouldn't be complaining.[break][break]

"i hope you're a good actor."[break][break]

which is his way of agreeing.[break][break]

after a moment spent gathering up all the bodies into the closet they were once in, matias lingers by the edge, ready to step back in to join them.[break][break]

“We’re on a mission, captain. Fun is not something to take into consideration. Much as I adore a good fight, the success of our goals is paramount. All else, save the lives of those around us, are to be put above our personal whimsies.” Mòrag responded, “That said, you continue to surprise me captain. When I heard my assigned commanding officer was a military man, I was expecting a joyless stick in the mud, but you’re far removed from that, aren’t you?”

As they continued and eventually finished tucking away the sleeping men in the storage room, the question came. Initially, Mòrag thought to deflect it with sarcasm and wit, as she had done all the previous times before… but she wasn’t sure if it was because of the situation at hand or what, but she was increasingly growing weary of doing that. A few long moments later, and a sigh.

“No, not particularly.” She responded, full honesty in her voice for the first time since they first met, which had not been present save for fleeting moments, “But it’s not as if I have a choice, do I? Sooner or later, I was going to face Sammy, and I’m not entirely sure that’s something I could ever be ready for. What the fuck do I even bloody say to him? What if he’s the one responsible for the deaths of all my friends? What if-?”

Mòrag interrupted herself before her emotions could fully spiral out of control. Taking a few moments to rein them back in, she would exhale.

“If I know Sammy at all, he’s stuck to his Dragapult, Draca. He’s the kind of trainer that only really has one pokémon, but as a result, that pokémon is immensely strong. Fast as anything, powerful, and incredibly focused. Sammy’s always been a bit of a coward, the type to take the easy way out, but Draca more than made up for that with his sheer might. Let’s not be careless, hmm?”

"i'll handle the dragapult. you just focus on sammy."[break][break]

because matias is also interested in seeing how she'll react when it comes down to it. will she be all talk, no bite? he doubts it.[break][break]

“Thank you.”

That would be the only response he would get from Mòrag before he hid himself away in the storage room. Mòrag would fetch a wooden chair, sitting down on it, looking to the floor as she waited. Occasionally, he might hear a long exhale as she tried to calm herself down.

Then the door opened.

Mòrag looked up, and there he was, Samuell Brynn, in all his admittedly average glory. Being an unassuming man worked to his advantage in several ways, but it did make him a rather nondescript fellow. He was flanked on either side by two people, a man and a woman, making three people to deal with, although Mòrag was only really concerned with Samuell himself.

“Hello, Sammy.” Mòrag said, face twisting into a bitter smirk, “Fancy meeting you here, hmm?”

Samuell paused, then widened his eyes, almost stumbling onto his rear as he processed just who was in front of him.

“M-Mòrag? How did you find me? How are you alive!?”

Wordlessly, Mòrag stood up, glaring pointedly at him.

“What in the bloody hell do you think you’re doing, Sammy? Turning to petty crime, abandoning your few remaining comrades, and dealing with Team Rocket! They are our enemies! We swore to oppose them at every turn! Yet here you fucking are!”

“Easy for you to say! It’s not like you have people to worry about them hurting!” Samuell responded before exhaling, “When Team Rocket came after us, I knew my family would be next. So, I had to disappear, and I came to the most chaotic place, to ensure they couldn’t find me. I took on an alias and started making deals with them, hoping to learn more about them. I-”

“You…” Mòrag interrupted him, before stopping, breaking out into a chuckle which progressively grew into full-blown laughter, but this too was filled with bitterness, “GAHAHAHAHAH!! You abandon us, choose to run from your past, and consort with those parasites! You filthy, snivelling coward! The very sight of you sickens me!” She paused, then spoke again, in a low tone, “Which is why I’m going to remove you.”

With sudden, impressive speed, Mòrag dashed at Samuell, startling him and making him momentarily fumble as he retreated to the door. The other two are not so clumsy, however, closing off her path to Samuell.

Mòrag, however, does not care to even so much as engage in a pokémon battle. Picking a target, she would quickly strike at his throat with a jab, following up with another jab to the eye, then swinging her right arm in a haymaker that knocks him out clean. No method is too dirty or underhanded for her.

Unfortunately, the woman is able to pull out her pokémon, a Lucario, who rapidly moved in with a Bullet Punch. It seemed it would hit, until-!

CLANG!!

Instead of hitting Mòrag’s soft flesh, it would strike her Mawile, skin reinforced with Iron Defence and ready to defend her trainer from any harm that may befall her. With her defences up, Marianne seemed none the worse for wear.

“G-Go, Draca!” Samuell finally released his Dragapult, the pokémon looking positively focused, taking only a moment of surprise as his gaze landed on Mòrag.

Though one question remained: what would Matias do?
