And if Double Team Delta + is in prepare...well, I dont need to say more right?

Although...I was thinking in get another Fire Move to her. Alternative ways to counter Nasty Steel types is always good. How much xp it would cost to let her learn Overheat or Flamethower?

Spread moves it is moves who hits everyone? (Both allies and foes?) And AoE is moves who hit all foes only?

Also, what is HWD and HWEX?

Keep in mind that Teleporting away from the explosion caused by Fission Burst will probably end up leaving Sekmet behind to go Kaboom! if that strategy is going to work.

Spread Moves (like Heat Wave) hit all enemies.  AOE Moves (like Earthquake) indiscriminately hit everyone around the user.

HWD is Heat Wave Delta, and HWEX is Heat Wave EX.  They're abbreviations.

I was thinking it was completely different items so I forgive me my bad misinformation. But thank you for letting my boy and her girl have such items. That put a smile on my face." I say with a little smile for making a reference. (Oh how much I love Infinity War and Endgame).

With tha done, I have asked one last thing to Zuryk. "Uhh, before I go lady Zuryk, can you make this chain, I dont know, invisible? It could be strange and put me in a lot of troubles with police in carry a woman with a chain. And I kinda have already enough problems with police in general. Like...a chain who only I and my Pokemon and Riza can see, and put her in her place when necessary. Never hurt in be cautious right?"

When the godness of Darkness have gone (And maybe make the chain invisible?) Arial finally have a release sigh. He returned his fainted Pokemon. And he take Riza Pokeballs and returned her fainted Pokemon too. He had one last look on Gaspar new Legendary Form and finally return him. Spiritmon look to me with worry eyes.

"You now walk a dangerous path my boy. You have a Legendary Brother Solgaleo in you side, who is capable of become even more powerfull. Not to mentioned a chained Ex-God of Light. The future still hold tribulations, and Mew and Reiner problably not gonna be happy in see what you done."

"I know." I simple say looking to him, but with confidence to not make feel worry. "But, like I say: I the Madman of Celadon City. I always walked in the most difficult path."

I simple chuckle a bit, and then I look with proud eyes. "I dont like slavery, nor I agreed with it. But for someone like Necrozma, it is death or slavery. Not to mentioned he killed Riza and almost everyone, so I dont have sympathy. Although Dragonstrike make rethinks some ideas."


"Dragonstrike?"

"Another Watcher like me. The guardian of your Boss Reiner. There no reason to hide that anymore. After all, you know almost everything you has to know. And now you have come to world of crazyness and madness. But I guess you dont mind very much." We both walked toward the goal. Arial has Riza in his arms, being gentle to not lost her. He was acompany with his friend Pokemon, and also with Riza own Pokemon. As for myself...I was grabing Necrozma chain, making bringing her close to the Portal. They look both the portal.

"So....I guess this is it." I look to Spiritmon one last time. "I...cant thank you enough for everything you did for me and Riza. Will I see you again?"

[b]I look to him with my star eyes, and respond him. "Maybe yes. Maybe not. LIke I say, we can't interact direct to your world. Thats why we choose vessels, to interact though them, and feel what they feel. I could only act today, because Zuryk make this dimension." Then I look to him one last time. "This is problably the last time we will see each other.[/b]

"Yeah....I have imagined that." I offer a hand to be shaken. "But...either way...thanks for everything. Trully..."

I did not take his hand. Instead I envelope my arms around him, and give him a hug. "No...I the one who must thank you Arial...thanks for exist, and for accept me as your friend...be brave on your journey. And know this: No matter how much distant we are our dimensions. I still will always watch you and your journeys. Continue to be that wonderfull mad and crazy person you are. But be the goofy and kind person you are."

And for one last time, I gave Arial the chain of Necrozma. I was able to see some tears, rolling in his eyes. but he clean them, and simple nod his head. He then approach the portal, and look to me one last time. Before he takes a deep breath and say one last thing to everyone:

"Melchior. Baltazar. Asura. Airmid. Zeus. Blooderfly. And Dragonfighter. Are you people ready to go? We have a friend to get revive. And a future waiting for us."

And just like that, they enter the portal, ready to face a future with still troubles. But filled with hope. I stood there in that dark dimension, alone to see the end. "I wonder...what kind of future they gonna create...I will look foward to see it. My boy...."

And then I open the same white portal behind me, ready to become energy and to return to my original self, behind the Fourth Wall. I look behind the place one last time. He look the place with a grim in his face, and then...he vanished. Making this world silence once more.

What the future hold? No one know. For now, Spiritmon have another two choosen ones to meet. A stealth friend of his. And a certain Fire PUNisher. The adventure of those, as yet to be told.

For clarification, their is only a SINGLE black chain link/loop on Necro's choker/collar, but a full length of chain DOES fully materialize in Arial's hands when Arial/Spiritmon started talking about it (physical and/or mentally). You had the instinctive feeling that the full chain appears based on your will/desires, and that its invisible to most other people and Pokemon, so for all intents and purposes your control over the humanized Ultra beast is practically undetectable on a casual glance. Zuryk certainly thought of everything when it came to keeping Necrozma on a leash both literally and discretely!

It should also be noted that Dragonfighter and Blooderfly were rather agitated and antsy with you touching Riza's body at first, as they really didn't have much reason to trust/like the madman that much now that their mistress was dead due to giving her life for you. With the Dark Goddess' reassurances that the cuddlebug would be resurrected, the viscous bug became notably more calm/tame , looking visibly relieved and almost tearful that she was going to be alright after all. Of course, it didn't cause them to suddenly bow down in supplication to them, nor being hostile and wary towards them to a degree, but you could tell they were at least grateful for the miracle they were going to preform. No telling how they'll react when the Vampire is unmade, but for now they were amenable to you leading them around.

You were able to easily recall Gaspar and the rest of the Pokemon, though in the case of your now big brother his Pokeball briefly went on the fritz as he was being sucked back in, due to the capture device being unused to such a large quantity of data, but it quickly sorted itself out and work as normal for the most part. Bring up your brother's Summary would still show/register it as a Duplicat, but that might as well be a happy accident, considering how much Nurse Joys/The Leagues would freak out if they found out your were packing Legendary firepower! So, horray?

---

As you posed your question to the Pokemon, each of them had their own answer.

Melchoir let out a short affirmative *RAAR!* , his posture tired but still primed and ready for any action, should it come. He was ready for this task to end, so his family may finally rest easily. The future may be wild and dangerous (especially with Necrozma around), but for the rest of the night their would only be peace and love. No matter the challenges and trails he may face, he'll stand up to them and drive them back, tooth and nail, with his family! That's what matters most!

Baltazar nodded once and floated over to your side, using its telekinetic powers to help you out by lifting Necrozma off the ground and carry her to the portal. It certainly had its fill of excitement for one lifetime frantically guard his team from a mad god of light, let alone the rest of the frankly ludicrous events it and its brothers ended up tangled up in, so some respite sounded quite good about now. Still....despite it all, it had enjoyed everything in their own way and learned so much from it, so perhaps everything that occured was not so bad in hindsight. One thing was for certain to it, though: the future was only going to get more interesting from then on - something it found itself looking forward, strangely enough.

Asura just thumped his chest twice, before resting a fist across his heart. The War of the Light and Dark was over, and they were the victors. It was time for them to return home with the spoils of their victory, and begin planning for things yet to come. For the battle they endured and struggled through was just that: a battle, blown up to epic proportions. There would be more trails and tribulations for his vassal and his kingship, so they must - no, they would be ready for them.

Airimid gave you a more that a slightly worried look after her kind gaze swept over you a couple of times, then Necro, before she let off an heavy *SIGH* of relief, smiled, and nodded. When she first came into your care, all she expected to do was being the primary health care provider and medic for quirky but good hearted trainer on his adventures- which she could naturally excel at with great enthusiasm! What she ended getting far exceeded her wildest imagination. Participating in a heated and hectic duels, supporting a raid on an abandoned laboratory filled with glowing green feral beasts, and battling against a mad god of light that now was her master's human slave, oh my! Frankly,  she was finding all of that action in such a short time a bit overwhelming (Even for her!), but never the less she would persevere and not give up, continuing to do her utmost to care for her team with a caring smile no matter what!

Zeus.....well, they just let out high pitch *Zzzt!* that managed to sound perky, excited, yet exhausted as they wobbled in mid-air, twirling their magnets at their accomplishments today! Not only had they braved the terrors of the NFR today, but they fought against a borderline literal GOD, and it was all so AWESOME! It hardly expected his life to become so chaotic and fernetic , nor that it would like it so much, but it was like feeding on a nice source of electricity - once they got a taste, they couldn't have enough! Sure, they get pretty banged up for all the trouble his master gets them into, but he's a Sturdy ferromagnetic juggernaut , so he can take all the abuse and still have a blast! Once they were rested up, they'd be ready for the next challenge, so bring it on, *Zzzztttt!*

Blooderfly and Dragonfighter's reactions have already been stated, so I won't elaborate on them, other than the fact they were quite eager to get going, so that their mistress is alive and well once more!

And so with everyone's argeement, you all enter the portal, and are transported home, with it closing behind you and dispersing into the Darkness of this world you left behind, forevermore

- ......And so the annals of history have changed, said _____

A figure stood off in the distance, cloaked in raiments of muted purple with bright silver swirling patterns, unnoticed by all, even them. A book with a worn leather cover was open in their hands, their gaze resting on its contents, before looking over to where Arial and his coalition departed back to their universe and closing it with a muted *thump*

- For better, or for worse? I know not. The only thing I know for certain is that it will have far reaching ramifications, now and yet to come, they mused, passively continuing its observations.

- ......I just hope you know what you're scheming and sowing, and are ready to handle the consequential fruits that grow from this planting of yours, Zuryk, demured the figure, putting away their book somewhere on their person, before turning around.

- ......Safe travels and good fortune, Mad Prophet, said _____

Then, they walked away, the figure slowly fading away with every step they took, until they were gone.

Quote:When Arial enter the portal, he feel his body accelerate, like a turbo car. He see all kinds of things though that portal, in a myriad raindow carrousel of madness, until he finally hit his floor in with his back. He feel still very much broken and tired after such battle, and this hit in the back was the pin of such thing. He finally stand up with Riza still in his arms, and all Pokemon finally descending from the portal. "In the name of the son of darkness....This is the last time I take portals and teleports...I alwayd ending up hitting something. Is anyone alright?"

Arial check if everyone is okay and counscious. Both his and Riza Pokemons. He also check around the place they are now...along with Riza situation...and the chained Legendary he was witth him.

Everyone was more or less alright from their trip through the portal, if a bit discombobulated like you were (Though Zeus seemed to enjoy the feeling, at least). In fact, they seemed better than every, with all their injuries and fatigue having seemingly been left behind in the Dark world you left behind, so you could say they were better than ever before!

Necro......she was splayed out on her back, arms and legs spread wide. Her eyes were still closed and her breathing was slow, indicating she was still passed out from her ordeals. Whether that is a good thing or not will be left to the madman.

Riza, though......

The moment you check on the love of your life, you felt your breath catch in your throat.

Within your arms, was your precious cuddle bug, whole and in one piece. Alive. Her eyes were closed, and she was slumbering peacefully, like no misfortune had ever befallen her this night.

In a way, you could was more than just that.

For Riza Bete you knew no longer was. 

She was human.

Her skin tone was lightly tanned but pale, and was smooth and unblemished. Her hair was a dusty, dirty pale blond, short, and straight that splayed out as her head dangled daintly.

A few seconds later, her eyes slowly blinked opened. They were the color of freshly made toffee, with flecks of amber scattered throughout.

Riza looked upon you, her gaze unfocus, sleepy, but well. She then extend a hand, and lightly cupped your cheek.

"......Arial."

Her voice......oh her voice. It was light and airy like a feather, and just as soft on your ears. It was so very faint too, but whether than was natural or from it disuse remained to be determined.

"Arial......you're okay. I'm......so......glad."

She smiled at you with her full, thin lips, her dainty nose wrinkling as she did, before her eyes closed again and she drifted off into a deep slumber, one that she would not awaken from for quite awhile, judging by how quickly she conked out.

Throughout the Flower Festival, you've seen and been apart of all sorts of things that defied even your warped comprehension and tested your cracked mind and patience. 

You were forcibly assigned to be a bodyguard to Reiner, the least humorous,most stern, and a fairly intolerant person you had to work with, and had to assist him in all sorts of wacky and/or perilous tasks/events, whom threatened you on multiple occasion and once even detained you against your will. 

You helped him track down The Vampire, only to end up being kidnapped by her and taking her down yourself later on, and against all odds and logic you two ended up falling in love with each other.

You had to relive some of your worst nightmares by venturing into the irradiated hellhole that was the NRF, and ended up bearing witness to Mew blowing it up in a manner that closely resembled a nuclear blast itself, in both its destruction and aftermath - its a wonder you don't have/can't get PTSD from that alone.

You were nearly blown to hell by a Delta Muck and ended up getting further tangled up with a Dark God, who had sent you visions of the future prior to that moment, revived you then after putting you through emotional trauma that would be fit for Tartarus , and since then proved to be a most enigmatic figure that had no end of amusement toying and helping you for whatever ends it had.

Finally, and most recently, you bargained with that very same shady entity for your love's humanity back, and ended up having to take down a  G o d o f L i g h t  that was made your slave, had your mimic brother permanently turned into the Legendary Solgaleo, and learning so much about the nature and meaning of your existence and those beyond that it would have driven you completely insane, were you not already made as mad as starved ferret.

In a few word, you could say the vast majority of this week has been uniquely maddening, weird, and chaotic.

As you looked down upon Riza, your love, though, most of what happened to you suddenly didn't matter so much or seem so bad.

Right now, you had your entire family with you and lover, safe, sound, and better than ever from the crap you've all been put through. That's the only thing that matters right now.

The future? To hell with it! You'll deal with it as you always do: with a crazed grin, a whole lot of attitude and good humor, and your family of Pokemon.

Well, not exactly.

You have Riza with you, after all, and she has you.

Your pasts were a mess. Your futures were undecided. But the present? Tonight?

Tonight......you're gonna have a real good time.

Arial's Celadon City Storyline: END

Yeap! I've been brainstorming how exactly I should end things for Arial's storyline and Reiners, and I've finally ready to wrap everything up.....for the most part. Have to leave a few threads dangling for the sequel someday, right?

(05-21-2019, 06:13 PM)Spiritmon Wrote: Probably. List of things:
Call Giovanni for Vacation.
Call Nellygator and ask Carracosta.
Inform Reiner and Mew about everything.
Inform Riza about the enslave of Necrozma

Let me give you the abridged version of what happens when Arial does any of those things this in-game tonight:

- You try to call Giovanni....and find that your phone isn't working. You check it out, and find that their is a text message on it from 'Your Darkest Friend' , which reads as follows : Hello! If you're reading this, you've survived your Transgression and have been rewarded duly! If I have not already said so by now, congratulations! I've probably given you ample praise and applause for your victory, though, and I imagine you wish to enjoy the rest of your evening with your newly restored lover, so let me be brief with why I have messaged you.

I have taken the liberty of disconnecting your Rocket PC from their network discretely and maintaining its regular functions, so you still have access to it without them realizing you are still alive after my terrible sister blew the NRF like she did her relationship with my brother! Whether or not you still wish to work with those mobsters is entirely up to you, of course, but I've disabled your phone from contacting them for 24 hours to give you time to think that decision over. Its a fairly important one that needs careful thought, so please, do so!

If you wish to get in direct contact with them, though, I shall not prevent you from doing that, if you're so eager to surrender your anonymous autonomy and resume criminal activities under the scrutiny and yoke of Giovanni. Then again, I'm almost certain he'll promote you to Executive on the spot for all you've accomplish and the rewards you've gained from me, and give you quite a bit of free reign and substantial backing his organization, so its not like you stand to lose much from going back into the fold. Arianna wouldn't recognize Riza as the one that drained her to an inch of her lifeforce too, what with them having such a radical makeover, and I don't believe Petrel would rat you out in the event he finds out - would cause too much of the wrong kind of trouble, for his tastes - so your fiance would be safe there too. Her talentsand her association with you would certainly place her very highly in the hierarchy , at the very least.

Well, I believe I've said everything important and necessary for you, Arial Schrodinger. Make your choice, and live by it.

Best wishes~

- Calling Nelly goes smoothly, but she says that Carracosta is NOWHERE NEAR READY to be traded back, and that she'd need at least a month before they could possibly be traded back and want to put up with you. Tough luck there, mate!

- I'll leave that conversation for you to sort out as you may, whether you just want to simply actually talk about it in the Meta Thread, or just send each other abridged summations of your reactions/plans with each other .

- Riza is passed out for the rest of the night. Arial will tell her about that whole dealo ASAP, but how she will react/handle it will be left offscreen. Suffice to say, though, she'll not be too happy with Necro for quite awhile, but does have some pity and sympathy/empathy for the being despite her animosity towards them. They're in what was once her shoes being in a strange body, after all, and its not like she can't get along with mad people/weird beings (or try to, at least).

Sadly, no. You'll have to use your own imagination to come up with a picture for her, I'm afraid. I could kindly ask Phantom if they could draw a picture of her for you (And Pay her for it, of course) if you want, though.
