Ximena grinned at her boss, who looked stunningly relaxed today. Looks like she was enjoying some of the festival food as well. The blonde didn't know what it was but it looked really yummy so she stopped to buy whatever that was. She totally didn't expect to find her boss here but maybe this would be a perfect opportunity to get to know personally and not hack her mainframe to read about it. Ximena happily nodded as she ate her strange treat.

"Yeah! Guess ya are too huh

Then she pulled out her phone and opened an app which housed a festival forum where people were submitting their pictures and stories they experienced during the event. She opened a thread that talked about some interest rare pokemon sightings around the Festival.

"It looks like the festival has attracted some interestin' pokemon. I was gonna take this time to search for some. Care to join me Miss Marcy? It could be fun! Might find a really rare pokemon or something!"

Ximena looked very excited, she hoped that Miss Marcy would say yes. Then they could see how well they'd work together.

Marceline Labele

Marcie was a little surprised to be interupted by a pokemon, but let out a small chuckle as Ximena showed such interest in it, playfully rolling her eyes and glancing off towards the  side. She wasn't sure how much she should tell Ximena anyway, she knew all about her criminal side sure, but that didn't mean she could be fully open with her. Only Orion had that honor so far...all the same, it wasn't good to put all her eggs in one basket, so while she wanted to know more about Ximena first, she shouldn't completely ditch the chance to open up and build a sense of trust between the two of them...

Once the Pokemon was captured, she offered a light smile, crossing an arm over her chest, balancing her other elbow in the former's hand as she gestured vaguely. "Oh you know, traveled to a distant land because I was bored.~" All true without too many details offered. "Why don't you offer your own story first though dear?~ Seems only fair the employee shares their details first n-" She paused, turning her head around at the sound of a Pokemon's cry, smirking and releasing her own pokemon from her belt. "Excuse me a moment.~"

The Wigglytuff's cries made it an easy target to spot, the Lileep Marcie sent out attacking it rather quickly, its pink tentacles shooting out and dragging the Wigglytuff back against it, rendering the Pokemon majorly immobile and starting to slowly suckle the energy from it, pulsing slowly as it drained the opposing Pokemon's energy, any normal attacks it had were blocked by it's rocky typing, and the constant draining offset the damage, Marcie letting another flash of red attempt to catch the Wigglytuff afterwards.

"Sorry about that.~"

Ximena placed the ball away and also calling back her horsea, that was great now she had a living testament to her adventures at the Star Festival. She grinned at Marceline, very proud of herself obviously. Well that seemed to be very straight forward and welll, boring to say the least. There was obviously more to this than meets the eye, Ximena would have to press the right buttons is all. The Marceline was suggesting the blonde share her story first before the Wigglytuff made itself known. Ximena stood back to watch her boss catch the round pink blob of a pokemon.

That pokemon...those ancient pokemons were really scary as all hell. It gave her the creeps just watching it drain the energy outta the poor like squishypuff. But it seemed to fit Marceline pretty well, up front she seemed like a sweet sweet treat. Then you bite into said treat and you find out it's been made with 5 alarm hotsauce. Instinctually Marceline was someone people should bea afraid of, however while most people would share the sentiment it made the blonde more curious. How far was she going to get into this? As far as she can if she was honest with herself. Once the pokemon was caught, the young woman apologize.

"Don't worry about it Miss Marcy. Hmm so what should I say about myself?"

She thought about it for a moment, well she didn't need to know her childhood or anything that seemed relatively unimportant compared to anything else she could share about herself. She also didn't need to know what she was doing now, she already knew that. They were here because Ximena was a hacker, a damned good one that broke into her house and basically asked for a job right on the spot. Hmm what should she share with the other then?

"Well~ I was born n' raised here in Veria up until I was like 16. Then I left the region and travelled around for a bit,I ended up in Kanto where I interned at Silph Co. I learned my technological trade with 'em. After a while I got bored so I started hackin' people as a hobby. I found out I like hackin' a lot more so I left my job at Silph and came home to do that more seriously. And you know the rest!"

Ximena had roaming around the field just a bit, before she could ask her boss to share her story she accidentally kicked something in the grass. She looked down to see a very confused Beldum? She tilted her head, something wasn't right about this little guy. "Woah! That's not what color you're supposed to be! Now I gotta catch ya!"

Ximena pulled out a different ball and out popped a Malamar. Calamarie was one of her first pokemon and was her darling dearie of a pokemon. Most people were terrfied of the pokemon but Ximena herself thought they were just adorable.

"Sweetie! Let's catch this weirdly colored beldum okay?"

The Malamar made a strange clicking sound that sounded very alien-esque for some reason or another. The Beldum looked up and saw the Malamar looking sinisterly at it and it started flailing about in fear. Ximena laughed, this thing looked so stupid and it was cute.

"Haha look at it flail! Cal make this quick okay? Use Superpower on it."

The Malamar nodded and looked down at the lil Beldum, and outline of blue began to cover the Malamar and all the tentacles on its body started waving around, the two larger ones that were its appendages grabbed the small little steel pokemon and pulled it up unto the air and slammed it down to the ground as hard as it could. The ground underneath the pokemon caved in, from behind Ximena shot out another pokemon who was running for it life and away from the Malamar. A little Whismur, Ximena paid it no mind however because she only wanted the silver colored Beldum. As soon as she was certain that it was outcold, she pulled out a ball and  attempted to catch the pokemon.

"Easy peasy, lemon squeezy!"

Marceline Labele

Marceline's eyes shifted towards the approaching noise, quirking a brow as she prepared herself for a rampaging Rhyperior or some such, but what eventually came crashing towards them was far different than anything she'd seen before, jolting backwards, her Lileep screaming as best a plant could and running off to hide somewhere behind an unused stall from the festival. Marcie would reprimand it later, but it wasn't exactly like she could blame it. This thing was big and...unusual! When Ximena spoke about capturing it however, Marcie didn't see much reason to disagree, though her reasons were somewhat different.

"It could be good for the foundation of we publicly discover a new Pokemon...then again..." Recalling all the reports of ultra wormholes lately, Marcie grinned all the brighter, unleashing her Delphox, assuming a steel typing from the Pokemon's appearance. "If this is what I think it is...I just might have something for it. What do you say Ximena? Shall we see how you work in the field?~ Bring this in for us and you may be seeing a bonus next week.~"
