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.

Fenelle is prepared for the ride to suddenly get bumpy. Dee shoots a brief glance at Morgrem, who already has hair wrapped around the railing, too, but also stares at Fenelle with a look that clearly says I'm out of my depths here, what the hell? To be fair, dee has done a pretty poor job briefing the Morgrem which is entirely der fault.

Probably also genes, if dee thinks about Théo.

... wait they aren't blood-related.

Der stream of consciousness is interrupted as the boat lungs forward, and dee quickly takes a seat and buckles up. There's no real room to sign, with der hands still occupied to committing the sudden outburst of Origin Pulse. One light orb missed them, but just like Sai, Fen doesn't think that's the end of it. Still, dee doesn't stop taking pictures rapidly as the legendary roars, seemingly disturbed by their presence - or maybe by something else? Dee has heard it's still battling with itself, too, after The Boss has done something to it ...

However, dee is forced quickly to let der phoen slip out of der hands and focus on holding on as Théo drives the boat - wait, he's driving away, right?! Dee, stronger than intended in confusion and panic, taps (hits) Sai's shoulder, then points at Théo with an incredulous look. It's the shorthand for What the hell is Gramps doing?!

As Sai goes to ruffle der hair, Fen looks at them with feigned indignation, puffing their cheeks a bit. Dee ponders going for a direct counter-attack, but saves it for later - there'd be a good opportunity for the patient.

They are far out to meet the legendary of the sea - so far that it seems like right now, they might be the only ones on the entire world. Dee nods, taking out der phone - now tied to a chain attached to their jeans - to refresh der memory on the smallest details of the Kyogre from the last time Rocket's updated their data on it.

Dee then follows Sai to the bow, their phone ready to snap pictures - and oh. Oh well shit. It's massive, and exudes an aura of power that is oppressive even if it's still some ways off. Dee forgets der task immediately, just staring at the pokémon. Of course Rocket would want it.

Forcing demself to snap out of it, dee also shakes Sai's arm, then starts taking a few pictures, while also scanning for any new development that could be seen with the eye ... ... but speaking of eye, that one's now directed at them. Alarmed, dee turns to Sai, before turning to Théo, then Morgrem. That should be enough, right? Even with der back turned to it, dee believes to see the bright lights of ... Origin Pulse.

Fenelle grins slightly as the other signs about being cooped up in his office for too long. Can't relate, dee replies, confidently, as dee spends way too much time cooped up in der office but is just in denial. Or maybe. A bit, dee does give in after a few seconds. Are you researching something interesting right now? Dee couldn't help but ask, looking at the head scientist with curiosity - actually, it's marvelous he's even here with a mere grunt like dem in the first place.

Dee is also vaguely stunned by the amount of helpfulness the other offers, and it shows for a moment before it changes into an expression of gratitude as dee nods in tune with the signs. I generally only want to look for a few pokémon to round up my team. We have Morgrem here, dee points to der pokémon, and I'm hoping to add Genesect and Type:Null over time. I consider having Shedinja for specific stalling battles, but I am unsure yet. I'm open to any pokémon which can help my team; I intend for them to be self-sufficient, since commanding will be hard if they have to focus on my signs, but I do want to develop a light-sound-based system for a device for emergencies.

Dee feels the intense stare of der Morgrem on dem, as he tries to slowly follow along the sign language. He's gotten better, but his progress is slow - but steady.

I don't have much practical battle experience, dee replies honestly, but I have a bit. However, I want to build a new team for Rocket-specific missions, since my other six are ... easily identified. While they could battle in terrifying ways, actually, dee prefers not to send them in - dee actually cares about them.

The first pokémon they encounter are ... hmm. I want to attempt to catch the Marowak, if this is okay with you? It might be a pokémon Sailor would enjoy - the Sandygast also fits the bill, but dee thinks between these two, the Marowak might fit the bill just a tad bit more.

The collection of pokémon on board is truly nasty, and dee grins for a faint moment before der attention is drawn back to Sailor, who's very obviously hoping for an easy mission. Well, it probably would be easy - dee can't imagine that they'd sent out two no-names to check on the legendary if it actually was likely that there had been any kind of progress. I think some changes would be interesting, but it's unlikely.

Dee also nods to Théo subtlely, who, for once, seems to be focused on the waves. I think Gramps would've teased something ... but it's also like him to just throw us in. Unless the change would be rapid.

At the mention of League busybodies, dee frowns, shaking der head. Gods, I hope not. They really can't mind their own damn business. Just gotta be everywhere, will you? However, there is a faint smirk on der face. But well, darkness always's there.

The water is brillant today - a clear day, with no clouds above, or not a great deal. Dee has diligently applied sunscreen, and now also puts on some sunglasses to shelter against the unhindered sun. Still, the large shadow in the distance is unmistakenable. We're here.

Momentarily, there's a deep frown on Fenelle's face at being described as sweet, but it's not entirely wrong - and right now, dee is also in a civilian persona, so that expression fades quickly, being replaced by an agreeing smile and thumbs-up, as if meaning, Yep, you got it!

The question of the cookies themselves is quickly asked, too, and swiftly answered as well. Dee nods at Thea's plan, giving her a signed O.K., before simply doing a thumbs-up again.

Looks good! You can leave the chocolate dough to me, I know a really good recipe. It will blow your mind.

Dee grins, seemingly very confident in der abilities. (And with reasons, too.)

The recipe doesn't work too well with nuts, however.

Dee then adds after a moment of consideration, and then further elaborates,

They're the type of cookie that melts in your mouth, so having nuts in them will really be weird.

It's too late to warn Magnemite it already, lost in thought, disappeared into a Mareep's wool. Fenelle couldn't help a laugh, grinning as dee shakes der head. Dee isn't really concerned about it at all, knowing that it would find a way out of the situation somehow. However, the rest of the braincell is probably reflecting the Magnemite's current state of mind very well - first, simply shock, before quickly, the other five began to float and waddle around in surprise.

The Mareep's also similiarly in shock, not really sure why his wool suddenly started to charge up- and quickly unloaded it all in a Discharge.

Comically, the group of them were fried by the impact, with Magnemite only hanging on by his ability, Sturdy, as they all recover from the electric attack. Everyone alright ...? Fenelle asks the group, slowly coming to demself again.

It's the last day of Easter holidays before work would pick up proper again ... Dee decided, against all odds, to actually take a stroll around the neighbourhood with der autism creatures, that all seem equally thrilled to take a trip outside. But hey, it's not that bad. And again, der eyes are carefully looking around, seeing if dee could spot something of use ...

Hmm. Fenelle's a bit stuck on writing poems, but gladly also has found some formats that should be doable. Monkeys are funny, entertaining creatures, so dee tries to put this into words.

SPOILER: Click to show

Monkey, tried to steal a banana,
It did not work.
Tried next the berry à nanab,
But just how could it work?
It's actually not a monkey but an
Annihilape.

... and then got stuck considering classifications. Before sending off the mail, dee sends a text to Sailor, asking what they think of it - but don't wait for a reply before sending.

Fenelle gives the other der best smile, doing der best not to be too awkward about this situation. Inside der brain, two processes were currently running, using up the entirety of der working storage. One, figuring out this social interaction from past experiences and clues from media, and second, confirming or denying if dee's seen the other person before, really ... if not, that might be more awkwardness than the introvert has signed up for, and the other person probably, too.

As the other takes der phone to type in der words, dee is finally coming up with a result - yes, this should be a Rocket ... and maybe goes by the name Summer, but dee isn't sure if dee remembered that because it's one of the more visual names or if dee made that up because the name looked similiar to that. Der memory should really better not leave dem in the dust right now. As dee takes der screen back to read, dee first takes out a little sign of der Rocket affiliation, before typing.

You're ... Summer, right? I'm also with Team Rocket, my codename's Mille. I'm also looking for crystals, I thought it might be useful to have them personally or for the organisation. Have you found anything interesting so far?

Now, of course, dee could always fake it, but dee hopes to maybe get a little bit of trust here (as ridiculous as it may sound amongst criminals). There's more dirt on dem on der Rocket-work-phone, too, but dee would only show that once fully confirmed that der memory isn't playing tricks.
