There's a bit of anticipation as Fenelle sees a shiny Rotom approach the pokéball - but unfortunately, this one already has a trainer and wouldn't catch itself with Fenelle's pokéball. Dee nods at the trainer after Poryphone translated his words on its screen. Der signed words would be spoken and transcribed by the Porygon as well with a montone text-to-speech voice, "No worries at all. It's my mistake for having let it fall, too," dee says, leaning down to grab it again - however, a mischievous Simisear has come in between them!

Fenelle looks surprised, standing upright again, as the Simisear wants to dash away with the pokéball - but it's ... apparently, she has never seen a pokéball before. In her mad run away, she fiddles around with the ball a bit, and eventually ... ... captures herself? Fenelle did want the Rotom to do that, but ... dee supposes, the Simisear isn't a bad catch either. "Didn't expect a Simisear in the town to never have interacted with a pokéball before." Did it get amnesia through some kind of ritual or what's going on?

Fenelle watches the Shiny Rotom with fascination. "That does seem rather frequent with pokémon of the ghost type," dee comments as dee watches the Rotom being upset about the ball being snatched away by the Simisear, who caught herself shortly afterwards. "Though I do not really train that type myself ..." dee adds, gesturing to the swarm of autism that is gathered around dem. Interestingly enough, they seem to keep a little bit of distance, though their curious eyes are definitely trained on the other.

Which might also be the Dusknoir that has manifested behind the stranger. It's swiftly caught as well, and an amused smile briefly flickers on Fenelle's face. "Truly. It's peaceful, but I don't think without its quirks," dee makes some attempts at light conversation as it is now the autism gang's turn to steal some pokéballs to get some new friends, or something of the sort.

The gang is aware that dee attempts to fill a living dex, and is eager to help out when they currently feel like it. Right now, Magnemite is navigating a pokéball to drop it on an unassuming Rowlet that has merely been watching its surroundings with a lazy look on its face.

Fenelle manages to stop demself just in time so that dee doesn't nod in agreement. It's true that dee also only has Rotom, but it's not true for Fenelle Miller. So dee simply nods in understanding (a nuance different), signing, "Sounds like Ghost enough, really. I don't particularly have a ghost type in my team, but I have some ghosts in general." At least the endeavour of completing the PokéDex and whatnot is a fairly common sentiment amongst many folks.

However, that next question ... dee looks around, and especially looks at the Poryphone again, the Magnemite. "Yes, actually. Do you, too?" dee asks, curious. Interesting ... depending on what kind of computer technology, this might prove to be actual valuable intel.

And that's seconds before the other is attacked by a Staravia and dee demself finds demself having caught the attention of a Probopass that. Doesn't really seem to leave. Dee shrugs, taking out an empty pokéball and catching the pokémon.

The pokémon seem to be almost aggressive today ... maybe another side effect of the war. It would make sense if not only humans were on edge, but pokémon as well. And also ... rather devastating, all things considered. And effectively something Fenelle doesn't care about as dee has der eyes locked on one target only.

... except for now, in this moment of feigned peace. "My condolences," is the very first thing Fenelle says after hearing that the other works in IT support. "I don't officially go there, but I'm often enough the tech guy. ... I'm kinda far from it, actually, given that I'm technically in planning, but they often give me tech support and software engineering tasks somehow." Dee shrugs. And even then, the tasks are ... truly something to laugh at.

But it's good for the story dee weaves, and the actual job dee has.

"Where you employed? Some firm?"

Dee listens to the reply to that, making some mental notes since indeed, computer linguistics ... until. "Ah fu- sorry, bye!" Dee has to run after der Magnemite that's been magnetised to a Mareep's wool, which then panicked and started running away ... and god damn is that thing fast. It's not until a couple of streets after that dee finally is in reach for a pokéball to land, so that the two could be seperated.
