As one did. A perfectly normal course of action, though anything Morgana was ever doing was worth further scrutiny to see what villainous intent she might be harboring. "It's been a long time since I showed up Big Bee," she said smugly, perhaps expecting the Bandana Guy to show up at any moment to bemoan her success. A long time ago, she'd been fishing off this very dock when the game had glitched and her grape-colored Magikarp had reset itself mid-encounter. C0D13 had purloined her a new one from whatever code repository logs he could (apparently) access at will, but it had never felt quite the same.

Well, who were they? Jack? Wolverine? Starface? Celine Dion? Why couldn't she remember any Pokemon who hadn't been major players in some raid or another? Didn't she care about bonding with them, or something? Morgana pulled up her UI, still holding the Fishing Rod one-handed. Why are they all so boring? she wondered, scrolling through pages of Pineco and droll Duckletts and such. They should have all been Pokemon she enjoyed, but in truth, she was restless. Chasing nostalgia on one hand, using what was given to her on the other. "How about this," she said, releasing her Gible. It was a rare, sought-after Pokemon, which had made Morgana want it for the sake of having it and then immediately forget about it afterwards because it wasn't actually interesting. "Do you have a name? Don't answer that." Name, name... fishing... "Sardine..." She was sure she'd forget that. "Pike..." Was it even male? Why couldn't she remember?

"Ohohoho!" she laughed behind one gloved hand, fulfilling her self-made stereotype. "A Magikarp, for me!" She hoped it would be golden, or at least blue. But alas, it was merely a Mantyke— one of Blarney's Brides, if she remembered correctly. A child bride. Though perhaps this particular Mantyke was old and wise, like a wizard?! "Bite it, Pike! No, wait, I already hate that." How about another Titanic reference? Those never got old. ...Except when they did. After what had happened with Celine Dionyx, Bergamot didn't feel much like joking about the world's largest fatal accident anymore. "Sardine it is..."

It gave a sad, squeaky-toy sound as it deflated. Wait, deflated? "It was a Substitute!" Morgana realized aloud, spinning around. The real Mantyke was sneaking up on her from behind, mouth gaping wide in preparation for a deadly bite! "Nice try," she declared, quickly turning around and hurrying several steps away in her wobbly shoes. "Get it, Sardines!" It was plural now. Thwack! Thwack! Rubbery antennae slapped like wet pool noodles across the Gible's sandy hide and it yelped.

"Fine," Bergamot said, refusing to admit she might be the one who needed to learn from this encounter and pulling up her UI to check Gible's moves. "Don't you learn Sandstorm? That sounds terrible." Imagine the sand in her hair. "Ah, you don't actually know Bite." No wonder it hadn't been working. "I've got this!" the villainess declared, spinning around. "The most epic move... Tackle!" It was so boring to say that she wanted to sign out right then and there, but Gible (Sardine/s) was flying through the air hurling its entire body weight at the vampiric Mantyke, and that was slightly more pressing.
