Fenelle gives thumbs-up in lieu of spoken replies to most of the questions and remarks asked - being loud is something dee is actually rather good at, as someone who is entirely detached from the consequences. Still, in the group play, dee has practiced enough not to hit the drums too hard, but with a good amount of force. Upon Kasper's question, dee could only shrug however, deferring the question to the others-

But then it's also their go-signal! An obnoxiously blinking banner appears, announcing the name of their group-

FEKARHAM

- advertising it in colours that probably give eye cancer. And while dee has partially picked them, dee pointedly doesn't look at it, and instead starting to drum away. Sometime midway in the performance, dee would start increasing der volume as a drum solo nears. And hopefully, the others manage to protect their ears in time as Fenelle, blissfully unaware of the dezibel levels - no, actually, it does hurt a little bit - hits the drums as loud as possible, maybe resembling a Mega Rillaboom in the process.

And after another while, the song comes to an end, leaving sore arms and a last thunk as Fenelle's head meets the drums, creating a reverberating sound. Der arms feel tender alright, in a state that might also translate to der mind. A vulnerability of having gone all out, captured by uncertainty and certainty alike. It's a really strange feeling that dee isn't really ready to examine further as dee sits upright again, turning around to see how der band mates are doing.

Brace the waves and just let it flow ... Fenelle watches some other surfers while waiting for the ideal wave - which is quickly identified by the Mantine, who eagerly starts swimming forward, leaving Fenelle only minimal time to catch up mentally before it's go-time!

MAGIKARP SPLASH 17

A beam of freezing water travels as Vanillite goes for a counter attack, swiftly turning the Magikarp into a block of ice. With this done, Ralts also seems to slowly calm down from all the commotion again, chirping happily as Fenelle is relieved. But huh, there's something frozen in the beam ...

Fenelle feels like there's nothing particular on the line anymore for dem, which makes the whole surfing process actually kind of fun. And dee wonders, what is there in common with surfing the web and surfing the sea ... (obviously, these two are vastly different).

Ralts gets fully hit in the face as the Magikarp suddenly swims forward rapidly, tackling the psychic type. Startled, Ralts simply floats backwards, confused as heck, while from the back, the other parts of the autism gang catch what's happening and return.

Dondozo's using Bulldoze to even out the path, disregarding anything that is in their way - just onward and forward with reckless abandon as they come closer and closer to the city with rapid speed. Dee also notices a familiar figure on a Lapras - Hitoshi Inoue - and decide to direct der pokémon towards his position, too. However, tumultuous seas do not allow for the smoothest communication, and dee only has der Rotom in der phone right now - der Metagross is resting up in its pokéball.

Approaching shore, dee also sees Alba Evovae and fern delaney focus-firing a target, and well. Who is dee not to heed a call so obvious?

Dee doesn't like using anything sound-based, but the Dondozo acts largely on its own. Dee can feel its voice sounding underneath them, doing the most Noble Roar targeted at annalise henderson's Mew to weaken and intimidate it as the giant fish comes crashing ashore near the Rocket and Annalise as well as MATIAS SILPH.

Dee probably should've paid more attention to the Earth Spikes, however, as some bury themselves into the Dondozo.

Fenelle and der Mantine land without having performed the trick successfully, but fuelled by some spirit, they hit the waves again almost immediately to try this almost mythical trick again - and possibly again.

As quickly as possible, Fenelle has swum over towards where the Magikarp's looking so intently, and sure enough, finds another treasure to put away. And now, the Magikarp actually stirs, while Ralts is looking triumphant about the alleged staring contest win ...

Fenelle watches a Coalossal with mild interest, which quickly turns into strong interest as dee sees that the rock type might be up to something bad. Something explosive even. Dee's seen enough Voltorbs explode in her life, and dee doesn't have to witness Coalossal just yet, or rather from a safer distance, so dee scrambles away as quickly as possible.

The Leaf Tornado is a good call to avoid the glass shards piercing them, and Fenelle gives Elijah and the Victreebel - though the latter might not be able to see it - a nod. "Agreed," is the singular word transmitted through the Metagross, as Fenelle follows the Regieleki's movements from the corner of der eyes - or dee might be fully blinded after all.

Dee quickly taps a morse code on Metagross' shell, and it starts using Psychic to mimic movement from their entrance point - further hoping to draw the Legendary Beast's attention away from them, buying them more time.

It does mean that dee loses der "ears" of the moment, as the pokémon needs to fully focus on the task or else screw things up, but it's not hard to understand what Elijah means. With swift motions, assisted further by der Hisuian Goodra stretching as far as he can, dee climbs through the window. Mouthing and signing and trying to signal by pointing at der dragon, dee means to communicate, Use Hisuian Goodra to get up if needed.

Which might also be needed to be done quick because Fenelle is notoriously bad at silent stealth, and notices the ruffle of glass shards by der feet on the ground too late.

Fenelle might be deaf but is not without a really good sense for rhythm, forged by hours and hours spent in rhyhthm games. Der Metagross and Rotom would assist if there's any audio input dee would need to perform, but else, dee is ready to simply work the nonsensical morse code that dee has translated der drumming input into. And gladly, it's mostly about disrupting the League - not actually earning any musical award, though it might be funny if they managed, too.

"I'm ready," dee announces then via sign-to-text-to-speech by der Rotom, who brzzts in a tablet big enough for text to be easily readable. Metagross is, as ever, a steady and calm presence in der mind, and serves as floating chair for Fenelle to command the pretty large drums they somehow managed to get (thanks, adoptive parents' money).

Dee actually might be a bit excited for this occasion. There's not been many occasions where dee could see and figure out der musical inclinations, so it's actually a welcome opportunity in a way.

Fenelle decided to take a break after that last success, but eventually returns to the beach again. Refreshed and energised, it's time to tackle the behemoth of a trick again ... now with a different Mantine, too. Dee greets it with a wave, and off they go to hit the waves ...

As Fenelle looks back at Ralts, he and the Magikarp actually seem to have engaged in a fierce staring battle ... which probably is better than simply staring at one another with nothing to say. At least this is mutual staring- and huh. It seems like the Magikarp is also staring at something behind der pokémon ...
