This did seem to be quite an ambitious project, didn’t it? Heh. Better to make sure that it stayed secure and working if that were the case. The thanks had him blinking before offering a small smile. “Welcome~” he answered simply.
What came next was... not something he’d ever expected to hear in their relationship scheme, yet Oh… that did make him feel good. Not in a hyper manic way, not in a stone-cold matter of factness “I won” way. Not in a way that made him feel particularly guilty either. Just a … raw pleasure sort of way. The way one felt when spending time carting something, almost. Was being a thug his craft? Maybe, in a less conventional sense of the word.
The smile that held his features heightened ever so slightly. “Glad to be of service,” he mused resting his elbows on his knees and his chin on his fists. “Glad to help such an interesting project.” Glad to be working there in general, really.
There was a momentary pause as something came to mind, and Orion sat back again. “Not to detract too much from the sentimentalities but… I did just think of something,” he spoke slowly forcing himself up out of his chair and fishing out a Pokeball. “I’ve been doing research on a Pokemon of mine and finding that its line is said to be tangentially associated with the Ultra Beasts… or rather are their unnatural predators.” How much of that was fact and how much of it was popculture dramatization and references on Goomygole was left to be determined but….
A light burst forth, and a Silvally stood in the room at attention, her eyes flashing around to everything and nothing at once.

Marcie couldn't help but feel both oddly relaxed and somehow uncomfortable with how Orion took what she'd personally call an odd outburst from herself. Sure she was calm about it but it felt weird to suddenly speak like that, and Orion taking it so well somehow didn't help. She needed to keep herself more focused, and was certainly glad for the faint shift in topic...a UB predator? Instantly her mind jumped to the idea of supplying such a pokemon to the league on the side while they fueled criminals with UBs. Playing both sides did sound fun, but she had no idea if it was even viable. As the Silvally emerged, it's odd, mismatched form didn't do much to help her feel as though such mass breeding or even artificial production would be simple...
"A UB predator? Well that would certainly help us keep clients in check...I mean, if you can still kick them to the curve even after we supply them with an ultra beast, they're hardly going to be in a position to go back on any deals now are they?~" Smirking towards her partner, her eyes briefly flicked to her desk, one of the opposite drawers sliding open seemingly of it's own accord before 4 small chocolatey orbs, notably a brand of poke'treat, floated over the desk wrapped in a psychic energy, the orbs hovering about the SIlvally's head for it to enjoy. "What might you call it? I can't say I've encountered it before as a breeder...though someone may have requested something visually similar..."

A small smirk pulled onto Orion’s features as he watched Marceline assess the Silvally before her and look back at him. “Very true,” he answered back. How had he not even considered that before? That worked out even better now didn’t it? Lovely, perfect. Reaching a hand up, he pat down the mane of the Silvally. A deep noise resounded from her not quite a hum but something akin to it. She was already aware she was being talked about but she’d become accustomed to it, listening without really preening or becoming embarrassed.
The treats that were pulled out and left hovering had the giant mismatch creature leaning upwards some to take a bite of one. “Think the proper name for it is Silvally,” Orion mused watching as the bird dog griffin thing nipped at a couple more treats. “I’ve been calling it Silver for snort.” Yellow eyes flickered back to Marceline. “It’s quite a difficult creature to get ahold of but it has quite an interesting attribute.” There was a pause as he fished out a cylindrical item and tossed it at the circle in the Silvally’s ‘ear’. The color of the head feathers and tail immediately began to change to that of a bright Electric yellow. “The ability to change types.”

Watching the beast carefully Marcie was almost sure this thing should have been...scarier? Maybe it was just the introduction of it being some artificial ultra beast predator but the fact it was being so calm before her was playing with her nerves in an odd way. Reaching out as it took another treat from the air, she would at least try to break her self created tension, lightly stroking the Pokemon behind the ear if both it and Orion let her, eyes dipping back to the trainer himself as he continued to speak.
"Silver hm?~ Next you'll be riding it and shouting "Hi-ho."" Sticking her tongue out playfully, she'd watch as he fished out what appeared to be a CD, pulling away to let him do whatever he was planning, surprise clearly washing over her face as the pokemon changed color. Now, changing types wasn't revolutionary, Kecleon were known for it with their camouflage technique, and protean existed, but a more consistant, reliable form of-
Sorry first thing was first.
"...Did you just throw a CD into it's cheek...?"

Silver froze very briefly at Marceline’s touch, but as her eyes dropped to the green haired woman, she stared for a couple of seconds and assessed herself to be fine for now. In fact, that was actually rather nice, and she may have leaned into it a little. Orion smirked a little softly. Silver was normally a calm creature, a warry creature certainly, but calm. The only type she hadn’t been was… well ok. She could puppy play and get quite antsy and quick to pounce but they were still working on that so— Actually, Silver please just stay calm you silly dog.
Marceline’s words had a faint chuckle escaping from Orion. “She is quite big enough to ride,” he murmured briefly though the next question had him smirking a bit. “They’re called Memories and far sturdier than CDs but—“ he gave a brief nod. “I’ve … been doing a bit of a pet project to obtain all the Types of them. The League seems to have ordered them in for research reasons so—“ he gave a small shrug and a smile. “If there are all the types made.”

Certainly enthralled by the pokemon's odd capability to change types with such a small item allowing it the ability, Marcie briefly questioned if it was all that easy to do mid-combat, but really it was versatile enough as was. The ability to have a pokemon that could prepare for anything type wise, but with a consistant set of skills to learn and perfect? It certainly sounded like a strong hunter, let alone for ultra beasts. The moment you learned what an ultra beast classified as you could just change into the perfect counter...
"Somehow picturing you riding this fellow is a hilarious image~ I can't even fully understand why but it's certainly delightful...~"
Thinking on the 'memories' she wondered if they could be easily replicated, but given Orion was sure of the Silvally's rarity and these things weren't already on the black market told Marcie they likely weren't...though if Orion was still looking to collect the set...
"Maybe I should put my feelers out...try to see if there are any rumors or league shipments of the ones your still looking for...might be good of me to come with you on your next little heist. Stretch my legs a bit for a change.~"

Orion grinned toothily. “Perhaps a bit knightly?” he asked with just a hint of sarcasm. He’d come from a place where knights were very very real, but the thought of actually being one was less than enthralling. Silver, meanwhile, looked sideways at Orion. She’d only let him ride her once, but it had been a fun running experience. Maybe they should do that more often, yes.
Yellow eyes did light up on hearing Marceline’s words, however. “Ah~ That sounds lovely,” he grinned a bit. “Maybe even find one for yourself that’s being shipped or otherwise~” he chuckled very briefly before shrugging. Silver rolled her head back and shook out her body impatiently. Looking over, Orion smirked and patted her. “No battle at the moment, sorry~” he answered the motion. Fishing out the Silvally’s Pokeball again, he made to return her before she did anything too destructive in Marcie’s office.

"Oh a knight? Think you'd need to be far more honorable for that...besides with a steed like this i think one of the four horseman is far more fitting." She'd lightly giggle behind her hand before glancing to the mis-matched pokemon she was still scratching behind the ear to add. "No offense dear, you are actually quite an elegant little specimen."
With Silver returned, Marcie leaned back in her seat once again, hearing the suggestion to get one of her own, and briefly debating the thought of owning such a pokemon herself...though it's rarity was more issue than blessing. if they were so difficult to obtain, even for a woman of her means it would be a red flag if she was seen to purchase one just before ultra beasts became more common, or worse yet, to be soon with one while wearing a mask or some such, and have the link be made between her two selves.
"I think I'll have to pass...though honestly, I'd love to help you attain more sometime, it could be a good opportunity to brush up on my skills.~"

Orion suppressed a snicker. Four horsemen of the Apocalypse was he? That sounded about right at the end of the day. Silver, meanwhile, turned her head to Marceline as she spoke. The no-offense clause had her leaning forward and trying to boop Marceline’s cheek with her ‘nose’ regardless. She’d get returned, however, before even getting too close.
A small noise did escape from Orion as Marceline spoke. “I suppose you don’t really need one if I have one,” he answered back. He could be all the muscle, all the force, all the anything, and she knew that by now didn’t she? There was a pause before Orion went on. “I have six Memories right now,” Orion commented. “With…eighteen total Types .. I’ve got about twelve more to round up…” He knew it would be quite a bit of work in one form or another. Rounding up just those six had been… a struggle if he was willing to call it that. Still, if Marceline could weave her way into acquiring a few by another means, he’d surely be up for it.

Marcie thought for a moment, if these things were so rare, finding more would be difficult even for her, especially if Orion was struggling to find them himself. Plus she had to factor in that duplicates were likely worthless to Orion, so that would make the search even tougher...though...with the building of AZOTH a lot of her resources were either resting and preparing for things to kick up again, or searching for scientists to recruit. If she put all of them on the job it should be more than easy enough to actually...yes. Yes this shouldn't be too hard. Maybe she could get Orion a nice little chunk of these things, plus if she could for any reason join him it would be lovely to see him in practice after so long.
"Well, I'll be sure to see what I can do...for now though..." Her eyes drifted to the desk and let out a half heavy, half playful sigh. "I have a lot of paperwork to do..."
Standing up she'd make a motion to guide Orion to the door. "Honestly, it's felt nice updating you on this...suppose a curse of all this shadowy stuff is you have no one to brag to outside of your own little circles hm?~" Her smirk was playful enough for that to be more tease than a genuine tease, easing the door open as a thought occurred. "Oh, give Nikolai my best won't you?~ I heard he's retiring from the league. Good news for you I bet.~"

A soft bemused sigh escaped from Orion. “I understand~ ” he mused back simply standing up again and following Marcie towards the door. “Well~ feel free to brag to me about any and all updates,” he chuckled a bit only to pause at Marcie’s next words. Ah, she would be the one to know wouldn’t she. News was basically money in its own way especially to her. Perhaps vaguely this irritated him but not truly or deeply— just being reminded of her powess and power and all that. It made her a good boss, and that was what he asked for. “I will,” he finally answered stepping back out into the lobby and stretching as he did so. “Ciao.” He waved once before continuing out.
