Fenelle and Mo- Grimmsnarl have made quite some progress with battling, even if the commanding devices leave much to be desired still. However, that confidence is slightly shaken as dee recognises der battle partner for today instantly.

Minib---- Underboss Beckett-

Dee freezes up for a moment, before relaxing, and realising- oh uh. Fumbling for a screen that is already resting in der hand, dee hastily types into the Rocket TTS app: "Sorry, I'm deaf, could you please repeat that again? I'm Mille, Underboss Beckett," dee lets that synthetic voice introduce demself, and points at Grimmsnarl. "This is Grimmsnarl, name pending. He will mostly act independently."

At least Grimmsnarl, not understanding the situation, makes a good impression with a calculating look, appearing calm and ready to battle.

THEO BECKETT

Fenelle hasn't expected to be trusted immediately (or at all), but it seems like der gamble has paid off, since the other doesn't appear to be entirely taken aback by the admittedly sudden accusation. (Dee still needs to polish up the 'meeting other rockets incognito' script. They really should have a codephrase, maybe to do with shoelaces and presidents, if dee would be asked.)

Dee is still pondering how to show that dee is a trustworthy person as the other is taking out der Rotomphone and does a quick check on that, after which Summer - no, Aquamarine - seems to trust dem well enough. Dee also picks up der phone/screen again, typing in reply:

It's not rude, I should probably have prepared more in advance. I didn't expect to meet someone affiliated just out here.

There's a moment of dem pausing and grimacing slightly.

League presence here is hard to miss. May we find something good, Aquamarine. Did you find something so far? We only encountered large crystals so far, nothing suited for individual mining, not anything else interesting.

Dee nods, signaling that dee and der Morgrem would be ready to follow if Summer had any particular direction she figured out as best already. Morgrem regards the fiery blue Emboar with a hard-to-figure-out look - somewhere between admiration, fear and challenge, maybe, before he focuses back on their general surroundings, just in case something decided now's the best time to approach.

Fenelle almost visibly eases up as Thea agrees to der suggestion regarding the biscuits. Dee's sometimes had to bake with some who would not understand the texture issue, so much that dee had to just leave the room in frustration and be herded back dramatically by more patient and understanding bakers. Now that that issue's with Thea's solved, the baking should go smoothly, since she seems to understand something of the craft.

(Fen really tries [badly] not to be snobby about baking until texture comes into play.)

Honestly, the offer of chopping the chocolate is also earning another bonus point, as dee nods, signing another O.K.

Thanks for that! I'll need half-half of 60-70% and milk chocolate ... but a bit more of the darker one doesn't hurt in my opinion.

Dee then would go and check the fridge for ingredients there, taking out heavy cream, butter and milk, before also seeing that there's some beverages in there. Dee gestures for Ralts to float over and get Thea's attention, before pointing at the drinks with der eyebrows high up, a questioning expression.

The other pokémon seem to naturally distribute themselves across the room, eyeing the unfamiliar pokémon with curious glances, but all seemingly not sure how to really react or interact.

The frown on Fenelle's face at der next encounter is definitely noticeable. Dee sighs, looking at der team. Headquarters won't ever hear of it, okay? dee signs, knowing that this team's fully loyal to dem anyway, and also. No one would at Rocket HQ would take them serious, probably. They're a bunch of little idiots most of the time, after all.

Most of the time doesn't mean all of the time, however, so it only takes one wave of der hand for them to quickly finish off the unassuming Eelektross. As they walk away further, dee ponders. Where shall we have lunch? dee asks, and is immediately bombarded with six different answers - of course they only agree to disagree on such a topic. It would be too easy, after all, to just have one or even less than seven (of course dee also disagrees) choices.

Fenelle's decided to take it a bit easy for a day of the weekend, but frankly, the couch potato isn't really sure how this has resulted in dem renting a Lapras and going out into the wide sea. Especially not after dee's just seen Kyogre a few miles from here. Everyone alright? dee signs multiple times, making sure to check on every one of der Autism Creatures, most of which just floated next to dem. Only Ralts is in der lap, even if the little creature could very well float as well. Fuecoco, despite being very ground-bound, is on the water, supported by little pieces of ice that are continuously created by Valentin. Truly, dee has no idea how the Fire type could like water so much, but frankly, the inner machinations of this one in particular are beyond anyone.

Everyone of der team answers predictably (Good! Well! Good!), so dee leans back in der seat slash saddle, letting the Lapras do its thing while dee takes a look around.

And squints.

There's two new things.

Directly in front of dem, dee spots a collection of flotsam in front of dem, which in itself isn't new. However, as the Lapras is swimming closer to it at a slow pace, dee sees ... eggs? Take a closer look, dee tells any Autism Creature, with Magnemite and now also Ralts floating to see what's up. Porygon and Milcery spot something else entirely, and alert Fen to it, even if dee already sees it, too. Another dot that may belong to another human with aquatic ride - and if dee isn't wrong, it also seems like it's growing bigger fast.

As Amor gives his okay to catcht the Marowak, dee nods at Morgrem to go weaken the pokémon that has picked up on the situation. It's also a relief to see that Amor doesn't go for the friendship route either, and ... Fen looks intensely at the Hydro Pump and Dragapult. One day ...

The thought of a Psychic pokémon, in fact, has not occured to dem yet. Maybe because their Psychic Autism Creature is an empathic crybaby (who dee actually cares for very much), so that just hasn't been on the table. But, belatedly, dee realises that there are others, indeed ... Dee smiles faintly at the handless, and nod, Actually, that would be very useful for my hands-off approach, yes. Do you think there's a particularly strong one that could work well? But for psychic, it might actually also depend on the connection between them and dem, huh ...

Dee nods, I appreciate it, thank you. I was planning to use the training facilities ... also regarding my own physical fitness. The last addition is an embarrassing but honest reminder that indeed, it's ... der could have been less of a couch potato. But hey, at least this couch potato got really good at hacking! Dee definitely is quite proud at being complimented by Amor, and it shows in a faint grin, Thank you! How did you approach your team building? If I may ask.

With Morgrem acting on his own, the conversation could continue as usual. However, as Fen watches the battle between Marowak and Morgrem, there is the faintest trace of a smile as dee sees how the Marowak doesn't flee. Gladly, Morgrem still emerges victorious after a well-executed Fake Out followed by a strong Bite.

Fenelle quickly is taken out of the state of shock by having to react to Théo's absolutely wild shenanigans. For some reason, Gramps steers the boat towards Kyogre, and it seems like his spoken words also aren't helpful either to figure out what his plans are, given Sai's signs.

I'm just glad Origin Pulse isn't a continuous beam- I GUESS? dee signs, before being shaken by yet another miss that causes huge waves in the water, resulting in their boat also being pushed off-course. But Théo is truly the best captain that dee knows, as he still seems to maintain control of the boat, steering it ever so steadily at fullspeed towards the legend.

Dee sees Sai's lips constantly moving, so they're still narrating ... well, better give some visual material to work with, too. Dee starts taking pictures again. And through the camera lens, dee sees that they were getting closer, and closer ... Dee taps Sai. Don't tell me he wants to jump. As soon as dee signs, that's ... that's definitely gotta be Gramps' plan, right?

Dee squints.

Where the hell did he get a cowboy hat. Dee is too much in disbelief to phrase it like a question.

It seems like maybe Sailor's in the whole Genesect combination after all - Fenelle grins as they set out for a hunt, before der usual resting neutral face kicks in. Yeah, the type ones aren't too hard ... Dee also thinks back to der Autism Creatures, but nope - they wouldn't be sacrifices. But they would probably need similiar pokémon to those ... eventually. Yeah, let's see what we'll find. There's also some bug types that might have attacks or abilities that we need - we'll have to figure it out.

With this, dee calls Morgrem forth, who looks around, and sees Sai. There seems to be a vague glint in his eyes, hoping to see his Weezing partner, but, there's only that Obstagoon and ... Where did you get that one? It's a Hisuian Zoroark, right? dee asks, curious.

Vanillite quickly freezes the Mawile with an Ice Beam, giving Fenelle some time to think on it further. It's a Steel Type, so one of the required, however ... should dee continue looking for one of the harder to find traits? This one certainly wouldn't have one of the moves or abilities dee needs for the Genesect, so ... hmmm.

Dee stares at the frozen Mawile who is unsure what is happening. However, in the end, Fenelle shakes der head. Let's continue our search. If they continued not getting the few 'mons they needed, maybe they should really start just taking whatever comes der way ... but for now, dee continues their stroll through the neighbourhood.

There'd be someone coming by soon enough to unfreeze the Mawile.
