Bong! Bong! Morgana wandered through the Steppes with her crowbar, banging on the chunks of steel which speared from the yellow plains like broken teeth. "Hello? Is anyone out there?" she called innocently. Bong! Bong! Bong! She was asking for trouble. The Surge Steppes was the highest-level wild encounter area in Asper, and Morgana had no memory of ever increasing her Tall Grass HP. Bergamot didn't like things to be too easy. She liked a challenge. She liked a struggle. She liked war and strife and pain and agony and all those things that reminded her how precious life was, and how much it was worth fighting for. "We need to make a bigger impact," the girl decided. Her skirts flared as she turned, sending out her (checks smeared writing on hand) Klefki, Wolverine. Bergamot stopped and studied it dubiously for a moment. The keys jingled on their handle, looking perfectly innocent. Nothing like the handful of rusty shanks that had accosted her and the other players at Bronstanton Manor. "Huzzah!" she declared, deciding they were All Good under the hood. "Time to shine. Wolverine, use Dazzling Gleam!" She was starting to rhyme accidentally, so Morgana leaned into the fun and kept it going. "Turn up the light, make it bright! The wind is cool, the weather sunny! Bring me steel to make some money!" Oh yes. Her motivation.

Come to me! it said, Come get captured by Bergamot Gristleborg! A herd of little zebras came galloping over the slope, their manes sparking with electricity. They made a beeline for Wolverine, converging as one on the steel-type. But Morgana, clever as a fox, was already running away! There was no rule that said you had to stay and fight with your Pokemon, and in fact, when she was more than 200 meters away Klefki was automatically returned to her Pokeball in a streak of light. It was fortunate Morgana was so unrealistically fit in this game. Long past when her body should have been able to feel the wear and tear, the exertion, her lungs struggling, her ~~reduced~~ pain settings kept her majestically galloping away like the wickedest antelope. She found a new slope to try again, this time sending out Jack the Mudkip. "Quick, do a move that attracts a lot of attention!" Bergamot told him. "Peep peep?" "Like Tackle," Bergamot clarified, pointing at one of the steel spires. "If you ram your big head against it, it ought to summon something."

Jack wobbled on his paws, eyes turning to comical anime spirals. "Peep..." "Peep," Bergamot finished his sentence for him, eyes fixed on the steel spire. There was a significant dent in the metal base where the Mudkip's indestructible cranium had hit the side like a war hammer. Bergamot's eyebrows rose a little in begrudging respect. In the distance she could still see the Blitzle at the Giant Shrine, where they'd given up on chasing her. They had all laid down at the base of the shrine instead, enjoying the gentle static in the area. Morgana enjoyed it less. Her hair was still standing up around her head like one of those fiberoptic LED light toys they sold children at book fairs. Sound still ringing in the air, the villainess braced herself for her next encounter.

"You hit it quite hard, didn't you?" "Peep... peep..." said the Mudkip, staggering visibly. Bergamot did vaguely remember Pokedex entries about Mudkip being able to smash boulders with its Tackle, but it was still impressive seeing the little mudfish use its full strength like that. The resulting sound was sure to draw something out of hiding. As it turned out, the vibrations from the impact itself were the trick. A magnemite detached from the spire, where it had been stuck at the top. It drifted down slowly, buzzing like a broken power line. Morgana immediately pointed at it. "Tackle again!" she ordered gleefully, even though the steel magnet was floating off the ground and Jack could barely walk as it was.

"I covet its shiny body and magnet-shaped hands. Bring it to me!" "Peep peep?" "Yes, really. This Magnemite is everything. Your new playmate. Your new savior." "Peep..." "Yes, it can be both. Anyway, isn't it in Tackle range now?" It was, and Jack's increased confusion about why Morgana wanted a Magnemite and what its future role would be on her team seemed to have stabilized his dizziness and probably-concussion. With a mighty peep, the amphibian bunched his legs and leapt into the air, paws outstretched to tackle the floating steel-type to the ground. As for Morgana... Call it terrible of her, but knowing Ash wanted these things made her want one. Perhaps that psychology was too simple, but there was a reason Morgana had never contributed to a single Story Quest. Bergamot didn't work for other people. She worked for herself. "Huzzah! Splendid, Jack," she said, doing her best golf clap. "Yet another minion to walk beside me..." "Peep..." "I know it doesn't have legs, Jack, I'm not blind."
