By 'back' she meant back to fishing, not back to the Beta Island Crater. She'd never been here before in her life and it was unpleasant to say the least. Morgana stood near a deep blue volcanic spring that bubbled at its edges with viritol, creating a gorgeous rainbow effect like a giant, red-rimmed eye. It was lovely, but she was sure even a Swimmer couldn't breathe in that water. Because it wasn't water. It was the chemical that she couldn't spell without looking it up in the dictionary, which she also knew the periodic number for instead for some reason. Little Johnny took a drink, but he will drink no more For what he thought was H20 Was H2S04. Ah, she remembered why she remembered. 7th Grade science class. Who could have guessed? And it was called sulfuric acid, by the way. She did look the spelling up. It had been driving her crazy. The heat came in waves from the black rock all around them, and Morgana shook out her perfectly-dry hair as Guillotine, her Piplup, showered her with a cooling mist to keep her at a comfortable temperature. She was all about catching Magikarp, but she was not about sweating in a game that was, in her opinion, far too eager to show off its immersive temperature control features. Practicing her monologue, she watched the lure in the pond, waiting for a bite.

This was happening. Breaking from the deep, indigo center of the pool came a royal purple Magikarp, huge and slow as a sleeping shark. She knew immediately it was rare. Of course it was rare if it was breathing hydrogen sulphate, that wasn't a trait of your average, Common Magikarp like the kind Big Bee was surely fishing up at this moment. "Guillotine! It is time!" Morgana said, throwing out a hand as the rare Magikarp swam closer and closer, eyeing the (rapidly dissolving) bait. Morgana hadn't thought to put something acid-resistant on the end of the hook. "When spoke the One, then did the follower leap forth. Fly fast, my sweet Guillotine! Peck, with swift intent!" She was just stringing fantastical-sounding buzzwords together with no real meaning, but the word "Peck" seemed to make it through the translation. Guillotine lifted off the ground, swimming over the surface of the pool. Morgana's Swimmer ability allowed the water-type to swim through the air, which spared her the pain of wading into the acid just to deliver a physical attack. As the slow-moving giant neared the surface and its fins broke the surface, Guillotine aimed a Peck attack down at the gold-crowned creature.

Acid sizzled against Guillotine from the Splash and the Piplup kicked her feet to rise higher, shaking off the droplets burning against her skin. Part of the splash hit Morgana as well, who turned pale at the pain. Curiously, she made no move to wipe away the liquid. Her spine straightened like it had been hammered to an iron rod, her knuckles white against the handle of the fishing rod. It hurts. She had high pain tolerance. Sometimes the products Chryssa tested caused rashes, or burning, or other pains. It was interesting to see what they would do. That the acid hurt when it landed on her bare skin was not a surprise. There was no adventure in experiencing natural consequences. Her grip tightened on the rod. The pain focused her. Reminded her where she was. Not in real life-- right here, right now. Her eyes narrowed. "Water Sport," she said, all pretentiousness dropping from her voice. It remained light, airy, like she was giving casual instructions on where to place a bomb. "It's strong in the acid. We'll just have to dilute it." Guillotine spun in the air, summoning a shower of water that she sent crashing down into the rainbow pool. Water crashed across its surface, floating on top of the dense vitriol and creating a protective barrier between the Magikarp and them.

Still, its HP bar hadn't even blinked. "Bubblebeam," she said, letting out some of the line so that the Magikarp she'd hooked would get a false sense of security before the attack. With Water Sport powering them up, the water-type attack should be unusually effective. Should be. Eyes still slitted, it crossed Morgana's mind that this was another purple Magikarp. Her first Magikarp had been a similar color and had de-spawned upon being weakened, resetting the encounter with a new fish on the line. Here in the Crater, facing another grape-colored monster, there the possibility of another glitch? GLITCH: <[Glitch]56PNUIoZ1d100> 1d100

It was hurled into the air, fins and whiskers flailing as the enhanced Bubblebeam pummeled its body. Then it landed on the bank, its energy spent. It gave a weak flop. Morgana let her breath out with relief, and finally scrubbed at the acid on her arm. The tension went out her body. They were done. The battle was over. She'd caught the fish, and it hadn't broken mid-frame and deleted itself from reality. It was, however, much, much smaller than expected. From above, due to the diffracting light through the pool, the fish had appeared enormous. In reality, they had just been viewing it through a magnifying glass made of oil, acid, and a brand-new layer of water. In reality, the Magikarp was no bigger than an action figure. She could hold it in one hand like a goldfish. Was this another glitch? "What?" Morgana asked, and then--in dawning glee-- "Ah-hah-hah! Puny weak one, I have obtained thee!" She squatted down to pick the Magikarp up, holding it aloft. "See your folly! Why, you should--" Light beamed suddenly from the purple Pokemon and Morgana quickly reached for her Pokeball just in time to hurl it at the miniaturized Gyarados which formed from the spinning pixels, its serpentine body no longer than a feather boa. "Marvelous!" Morgana exclaimed, wrapping her new Pokemon around herself. "I'll call you Rainbow. This has been a lucrative fishing adventure! Hohoho!" She flexed her hand, absentmindedly, white spots burned into the skin.
