Morgana hummed to herself as she stood on the end of the pier. Not the same pier Big Bee was fishing from, that would have been too obvious. No, Morgana was standing just within eyeshot (was that a word?) of the hilariously tall fish-lover. The end of the jetty was a fine fishing hole for the next great villain of the Pokémon World, and assuming no new players pulled up on the Beta Ferry, Morgana expected to be relatively uninterrupted for the next hour or so. She assumed that was how long it would take to catch an Extremely Rare and Attractive Magikarp that she could flaunt in front of her enemies. "Ready, get set..." Plonk! Morgana dropped the line into the water, smugly confident that the boat would pretty much drive itself at this point.

Already she was reaping the spoils of hard work and superiority! Something the color of fine French wine and grape-flavored gummies swam back and forth beneath the surface of the water. Morgana craved it like she craved Welch's grape juice. Unfortunately, this fish was much more lively than the one she'd cleverly stolen from Big Bee. "Guillotine! Prepare for battle!" Guillotine had recovered for the most part from the flight across the ocean, and the Piplup seemed relieved to be swimming in real water for once. The baby penguin toddled to the end of the dock before diving in with a splash. Morgana peered over the pier, narrowing her eyes as the blue shape below neared the purple one.

There was a Magikarp investigating Morgana's hook, but it hadn't taken a bite yet. It seemed suspicious, as if the grape gummy Morgana had baited the hook with wasn't quite the typical fisherman's fare. Guillotine decided to play her hand at deception before she got into a fistfight. <Hey girl,> Guillotine called out as she swam close, startling the purple karp as she called out. <You gonna eat that? I will if you don't.> <Now hold on one second,> the Magikarp objected, swimming quickly around to protect the dangling bait with the side of her body. <I'm still thinking about it. I don't usually try new things, but there's something about this one I'm just really vibing with, you know.> From her vantage point above, Morgana was waiting, tapping her foot on the dock.

Uh-uh, that's not the law of the seas I know.> Morgana scoffed at the text bubbles with emoticons that were drifting up from the encounter below. Why were the Pokémon talking? Without her, even? Wasn't this game supposed to be customized to the player experience? What was even the point of anything if it didn't revolve around her? But then again, she had to admit it was impressive. She'd make a grudging note of it in her review of UNOVR on her blog later.

While Morgana longed to crack the fishing Rod like a whip and bring her new catch to the surface in a single motion, the Swimmer forced herself to wait. Like a mountain lion stalking its prey. Waiting... waiting... There was a burst of spray and salt as the Magikarp finally bit and was immediately hooked. Laughing triumphantly, Morgana cranked the reel like a rotary phone dial, delighting in her apparent success.

The Piplup attacked simultaneously, releasing a blast of brightly-colored bubbles that pelted the poor purple Magikarp like machine gun fire. Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba! Rocked by the Bubblebeam, the Magikarp emerged from the surface on the end of Morgana's line. It fought back, weakly, but Morgana had cleverly wedged her high heels into a crack in the dock and was utterly immovable. The Magikarp had no chance of throwing off her balance-- it was like being tied to a semi truck. "You're mine!" the woman cried jubilantly, pulling back on the rod, and the Magikarp flew up and onto the dock. It flopped on its side in a puddle of saltwater, a grape-colored trophy of the seas.

Not as in "it just stopped moving." Like, really froze. It froze with its body bent mid-flop, its whiskers like perfectly sculpted spaghetti noodles halfway through a wiggle. "What?!" ...Then it vanished. "What?" Morgana felt a sharp tug on her fishing line and turned to see a gray Magikarp now on the line, clearly a completely different fish from the one before. Morgana tugged at it indignantly, feeling it tug back. The new fish was clearly at full health, and now they were right back where they started.

Was this one going to cooperate and be caught like a normal Magikarp, or was it going to delete itself the moment it was within catching range? Honestly, she knew fishing was a new feature, but she'd gone through the game so far blissfully free from the other glitches more "Beta" beta players had experienced. Morgana was the one who stole Pokémon just as another trainer was about to catch them. She didn't like the game getting turned around on her so easily, especially when she didn't even have anyone to take it out on. Yet. Guillotine popped her round head out of the water, looking puzzled. Morgana scoffed, trying to hake off her uncertainty. "Pound, I suppose," she said, gesturing at the new, gray-scaled Magikarp.

Guillotine's Pound lacked its... usual sting. The Piplup was already physically exhausted from towing Morgana around in a way that the game clearly hadn't been intended for, and mentally exhausted from all her mental trickery with the previous (purple) Magikarp. Smacking the gray Magikarp was like a tired businessman coming home from a long day of work and slapping a... well, that was just it. He couldn't even figure out what to slap. Guillotine's flipper bonked off of silvery scales, but who knew how much damage it actually did? Morgana could guess. And she guessed it wasn't much. And you didn't have to have empathy to look at the Piplup and realize it was not in top shape for a battle with much of anything, even a Magikarp.

"Time STOP!" She paused the game. No, you couldn't normally do that. Chryssa Glasgow accomplished it by suddenly moving her real-life body so erratically that the WorldScreen threw up a warning popup, graying out the rest of the world around her. Morgana took the option from the QUiCKLOAD screen. With the fishing rod still wedged in a crack in the dock, she and Guillotine spirited themselves away to the High Tide Shrine for the very first time.

With a high-pitched, triumphant laugh fit for the return of the reigning villainess, Morgana took hold of the Fishing Rod with her strength renewed and her spiteful vigor refreshed after their visit to the shrine. Guillotine stood poised for battle at her side, fatigue gone and determination in her eyes. This Magikarp could delete itself and re-spawn as many times as it liked-- she wasn't giving up without a fight! "Now!" Morgana switched the fishing rod to Guillotine's flippers, leaving her own hands free to fill with empty Pokeballs. She peppered the water with them like she was seasoning a pot of spaghetti, her Piplup pulling franticly at the rod off to the side.
