Chryssa was not a 'handy' person to have around the house. She couldn't use a drill. She couldn't sew a button. She probably couldn't even set the clock on the microwave. However, she did consider herself to have land vehicle proficiency (wheelchairs) and that made her the natural choice to wrangle the out-of-control lawnmower in the back yard. She could hardly tear her eyes away from the raging orange beast as it roared in circles around the pool, shredding valuable components and eviscerating innocent patches of Tall Grass. Finnegan Fjord clipping through the wall and landing in the kitchen finally brought her back to reality, and Morgana put her hands on her hips to laugh. "Ohohoho! Attic, schmattic!" she contributed positively while she tried to figure out which Pokemon would work best against a sentient weed-whipper. Fortunately, orioncayge moved faster than she did. "One of you find that fucking Nokia going off and tell them that if its about the extended warranty on the mower they can fuck themselves." While Finn disappeared into the attic, Bergamot went hunting for the phone. "A-ha! No treasure can escape these eyes," she said cunningly, tracking the muffled ringtone to the couch. Is it between the cushions? she wondered, rummaging blindly in the space between them. Her hand closed around something cool and she pulled out a small, military-grade combat drone. ... "Well, well, well," she finally said, recovering. "Dad's backstory strikes again..." Drone strikes, that is. "Well, it's fine! We can probably dismantle this for the robot." What were they building again? Ignoring whatever war crimes Dad was probably involved in, Bergamot finally found the Nokia under the couch. The sofa had been moved away from the wall so the wall could be painted— it had probably been moved on top of the phone without anyone noticing. The screen with its huge, LED pixels was lit up a periwinkle blue, easy to see when she peeked underneath. Since it was ringing, Bergamot picked it up. "A-lo-ha~"
Back at the Junkyard, Guillotine watched in deep dismay as Buzzster Hooperham obliterated the junkpile with a giant laser. That said, surely the Skarmory would be too distracted to take it out on a poor little penguin with training wheels, right?

Morgana was trying a new 'evil witch' persona recently. The 'evil' part wasn't so new, but pretending to have a hunchback and shambling up like a wicked Disney character was a fun new spin on her usual villainy. "Apple, milady?" she lisped, grinning toothlessly (though she had all her teeth) at the girl she'd caught in the Wanted Board square. The blonde had all the telltale signs of a new player: default equipment, no custom titles, no Running Shoes. Perfect prey for troll players like Morgana, who made it their business to be as annoying to unsuspecting players as possible. The so-called 'apple' she offered, though red and shiny, was nothing of the kind (Morgana had already eaten all her apples earlier that day). It was a Pokeball. And because they were at the Wanted Board location, a little tooltip appeared above the ball, showing a small thumbnail of the Magnemite inside. "Ooooh, but it'll cost you!" Bergamot pulled the ball back enticingly, eyeing andromeda with a fake squint. "Something valuable. Something... irreplacable. Perhaps a... childhood memory... or the taste of salt. Or perhaps..." What would a new player like this have? Her eyes flashed triumphantly, gray as ghosts. "...Yes, yes. That's it. Your starter Pokemon."She was absolutely giddy. This was the evilest thing she'd done in forever. INCOMING TRADE REQUEST: MAGNEMITE FOR SCORBUNNY ACCEPT? <YES/NO>

Morgana watched as the blonde teen ran down the slope to get away from their conversation, throwing Pokeballs at the Duraludon. Bergamot threw one too, of course. She hadn't come all this way to not-catch a Duraludon. Though that hadn't been the way this journey began. She'd been going somewhere.
Go North...
How had she gotten turned around, anyway?
This smelled of something suspicious from top to bottom, but Morgana leaned in on Yggy's reaction. Never had her role as a villainess been so objectively clear: if the girl was scared of Kyogre, Bergamot absolutely had to get that Kyogre on her. Could she trick her? Convince her? Swap it out at the last second? Spin a story?
"I was in Beta, as a matter of fact," said Morgana, carefree, collecting the Duraludon. "But I don't think Kyogre is scary at all. It's a big, glitchy whale." She tossed her head, looking up at Yggy with a too-bright smile. "You're projecting your fear of something else, aren't you? You're scared of something else."
The dumbfounded look on the teen's face told her she was right, and she dug in harder, lowering her voice to a dramatic whisper. "Perhaps it's the ocean. Depths? Drowning? Or perhaps it was what happened during the High Tide Raid itself. Are you scared of Codie? Being blasted? Being deleted?"
Morgana stood with the cold northern wind blowing through her hair, skirts shifting, Poison Gas billowing away from her body. She summoned her Kyogre egg in one hand and thrust it out before her, aimed at Yggy Br00ks, who recoiled at the sight.
"This," Bergamot articulated clearly, "Is a game."
Perhaps that wasn't what Yggy was expecting her to say.
"You don't have to be afraid. This isn't a place to indulge fear." The geometric red lines of the egg pulsed, showing the life within. Her face was backlit, blazing. "This is the place to destroy it."

Bergamot Gristleborg may have been an immortal (and fictional) video game villain, but Chryssa Glasgow had her fair history with death.
She was, some would say, obsessed.
Infatuated with. Terrified of. Engaged to, one way or another, by the threads of fate or will of God or simply overactive imagination. In-game, she would stand and laugh before she sacrificed herself for another. Out of game, she would shield herself with hundreds, backstab those closest to her, and do anything it took to avoid that dark hand of eternity.
She was well aware eternity was not an ending. It was a cycle: neverending, ongoing, death and life and death again. Some took solace in that fact. Chryssa took only offense.
"I am here," she announced, the tap, tap of her stiletto heels echoing in the hall of deep vermilion. "To claim a lost soul!"
The Swimmer's eyes glittered like polished stones as the grayness of Seta approached, bleeding color from the world. "...That random Sneasel!" she announced, as if delivering a particularly apt punch line. "It's hip. It's dope. And if you won't give it to me, I'll steal it from your halls. You'll rue the day you crossed Bergamot Gristleborg! Nothing will stop me. Not time, not fear, not death!"
Her breath rattled in her throat for a moment. Somehow, she suddenly found it hard to breathe. To speak. Her hands shook. One strayed to her side, as if to grip the hilt of a sword, and came away empty.
Eyes glued to Seta, wavering on the line between hilarious and heretical, she mouthed again, Give it to me.

"I knew I had something I wanted to sacrifice," declared Bergamot Gristleborg, producing a Dewpider in its Pokeball. She had caught the arachnid while it was having a beautiful dream in the Misty Timberlands, but to tell the truth, she had no intention of using it. It was water-type, benefiting her trainer class, but something about it reminded her of viruses in biology class and the whole thing made her uncomfortable considering the global pandemic that had just happened. Or had it? Were they pretending this world had been miraculously spared? She could work with that too.
"I banish thee!" Bergamot cried, tossing the Pokeball into the air. Lightning sparked around the capsule and it disappeared in a thunderclap, returning to the Everworld. Not that Morgana would ever visit. The villainess was too selfish to try and do things for other people/Pokémon.

MUDKIP (JACK) | GYARADOS (RAINBOW) | PIPLUP (GUILLOTINE) "Ohohohoho!" Bergamot laughed behind her hand, radiating confidence. "I suppose you didn't expect my Mudkip, Piplup, and Magikados to be so powerful!"
Actually, Bergamot was surprised too. When had her Pokemon actually become effective? They'd always been supreme losers before. It simply had to be because they were fighting Sarah Lee, the Fire-Type Wonder Extraordinaire, and Morgana herself was the Water-Type Wonder Extra-Extrordinaire.
She'd envisioned this fight going differently. Cursing Sarah Lee's name as she fled the arena with her fainted Pokemon, leaving ugly promises of revenge behind along with an ominous prophecy (still a work in progress). What was she meant to expect now? Standing over the groveling Sarah Lee in a power shot with the camera pointed up at her chin as she cackled triumphantly? That wasn't bad.
"I'm going to win!" Bergamot celebrated her early victory, definitely not raising any flags.
As Charizard's Flare Blitz rocketed towards Rainbow, the sea serpent bucked like a many-segmented bronco. It flailed, it rolled, it buffed itself. Bergamot could have made some quick calculations at this point, but she went for the drama instead. "Guillotine, protect Rainbow!"
The Piplup turned over her shoulder to stare at Morgana. Here she was, taking on two sets of Sweeper attacks, fencing with Focus's Fire Blast with jets of Water Gun, and her trainer wanted her to leave herself completely open and concentrate on saving that overgrown Magikarp?
...But she was nothing if not obedient.
Guillotine heaved a sigh, surrendering herself over. As Treecko siphoned every bit of energy from her body, she acted, throwing up a Whirlpool shield to cloak Rainbow just before the Charizard barreled into her with every part of its body on fire. Steam burst from the impact, rising high into the arched ceiling of the rolling battlefield. When the smoke cleared, Gyarados was miraculously untouched.
Too bad Guillotine wasn't. As the last Fire Blast surged towards her undefended form, she had no defense: only a counterattack. Quickly spying the five weak points in the 大-shaped blast, she let off a volley of Water Gun bullets, one between each arm of the tremendous move. Before she took full damage, she closed her eyes, hoping the brief volley was enough to at least take the purple fox with her.
Guillotine uses water gun x5 on focus for 302 DMG This left Rainbow alone.
It continued to roll and flail like an earthworm on the sidewalk, healing itself even as the energy drain wore at its body, and abruptly shot into the sky. Bergamot's Swimmer ability allowed her water-types extreme mobility in the air, and Guillotine sought cover above the rolling floors and the surging fireballs that burst out from the giant statue's mouth. She flew up and above the crown of the giant carved face, seeking cover from the attacks to come.
"...Watch out. I'm going to use my Z-Move next turn," Bergamot said cunningly, preparing her Z-Pose still in her stupid "Don't Call Me Dirty" T-shirt. This was an absolute bluff, and honestly just an attempt to distract and intimidate Sarah Lee. Would it work? Find out next time on They See Me Rollin' [Sarah Lee]!

MUDKIP (JACK) | GYARADOS (RAINBOW) | PIPLUP (GUILLOTINE) "Can't you read the shirt?" Bergamot called shrilly back, "It explicitly says don't call me dirty. It's a Carly Rae Jetsam reference."
Actually, it was all part of her evil (normal?) plan, but Sarah Lee was too eager to throw shade to realize she was playing right into Morgana's hands. Yes, Bergamot had the chinese girl exactly where she wanted her. She watched as Sarah Lee threw out two fire-types, just as expected, and then...
A Treecko?
"I've never seen a green fire-type before. Did you have to borrow it from Kath Ulu?" Bergamot taunted, pushing away the familiar feeling that seemed to say 'you're about to get destroyed.' Never let it be said Bergamot Gristleborg didn't rise to a challenge! No matter how many times she should be objectively crushed, humiliated, and embarrassed, she managed to get back up and keep twirling like she was the one on top. It was one of her positive character traits.
"Anyway, Guillotine is not rusty, she's simply unclean," said Morgana, demonstrating one of her negative character traits (being rude). The Piplup gave her a Look. "As for Jack, he's... what's happening? Why are you fighting already?"
Her voice grew shrill and indignant as the battle started before she was done with her monologue. Jack was still looking soulfully over his shoulder at her, waiting for her to finish. "What? Were you hoping for guidance?"
<Peep, peep, boop.>
"You're already booping?! This must be serious." Bergamot tented her fingers, thinking carefully. "Yes. Got it. Jack, stay there, bide your time, and buff Rainbow. Heal it if it gets low." Jack was definitely going to die, so he might as well be useful.
As the Mudkip endured the taunts, wand-waving, and lizards literally sucking out his life force, Bergamot saw Rainbow suddenly act on its own. The serpent shot through the air, wrapping a tight loop around Guillotine with a Whirlpool meant to lift her fighting spirit. The pool buoyed the penguin up even as Charizard's fangs brought Rainbow back down.
"Ride that momentum!" Bergamot cried, barely able to keep her footing as the floors rolled like uneasy waves beneath them. Drops of water hissed and splattered through the grating as they impacted the lava below. "You know the plan, Guillotine! Destroy SARAH LEE!"
The whipping waters made a fine diving board as Guillotine's beak elongated to a sword-like spear. She dove from above, aiming for the Charizard who had swooped so close to Rainbow. She landed on its back, stabbing brutally at the Treecko there before blasting Charizard with dual streams of Bubblebeam as well. She was no instrument of foreign revolution, but she didn't make a bad Sweeper.
Guillotine uses recoil!peck x3 on Treecko for 344 DMG Guillotine uses recoil!bubblebeam x2 on Charizard for 262 DMG Meanwhile, Jack fainted.
"JAAAAAACK!" Bergamot screamed dramatically, more to make a Titanic reference than because she actually cared.

MECHANICAL BATTLE
This was a very real message Bergamot Gristleborg had sent this morning to her archnemesis, Sarah Lee. It was not well-thought-out. She had no real strategy in mind besides "water beats fire" and some vague mind games she'd been hoping to try out on the mentally weak and susceptible chinese girl.
Morgana strolled out onto the red carpet, cocking a hip aggressively. Over the top of her usual frilly blue dress she wore a T-shirt that said "Don't Call Me Dirty" with an arrow pointing up. An interesting addition.
"So you actually came," said the villainess, shifting her weight to account for the rolling floors of the battlefield. "How bold! More fool you." She tossed her hair smugly.
Then she tossed her Pokeballs.
She was well aware that revealing one's hand first was a liability, but she wasn't concerned. Her Pokemon choices were no surprise either: it was Jack, her Mudkip, Rainbow, her Gyarados, and Guillotine, her Piplup. One Sweeper, two Supports.
"Ohohohoho! What do you think about that? You can make the first move," Bergamot said, putting both hands on her hips and smiling confidently.
