[Game] Lord Windos' PokeRole Adventure: Celadon City Vandel

[Dragonstrike]

(Well, kinda saw that one coming...)

'Huh?  Dragonstrike?'

(Hm?  Oh, hello there, Reiner.  Don't mind me, just thinking to myself.  Seems like contact between you and 'us' is rather limited now.  Though now that you're aware that there's a 4th wall in the first place, that awareness is never going to truly go away, now, is it?)

'...no, I guess not.'

(Well, guess I should mention that I'm probably the only one who can regularly speak to you from beyond, and even THAT is taking an increasingly large amount of focus even though I'm directly speaking to you...anyways, feel free to ask Mew about what's REALLY going on with 'us' when she wakes up.  I'm sure you can handle it.  So, tah tah for now!  I need to get to telling Windos exactly what Mew got from your end of things!)

'...just go ahead and tell her then.  Whatever you can.  It's part of the reason I suggested we take this course of action in the first place.'

(Are you SURE about that, Reiner?  That's...a LOT...)

'...she's my partner.  My friend.  And she needs to know what's going on, one way or another.'

(...alright then.  I guess it IS possible to purposely not hide anything...much easier to open a door than to close it, after all...well, as you wish.  Sayonara.  I don't know when we'll speak with each other again, but I look forward to the day that we do.)

'...'

And so, I head on my way to type out the memories that Reiner purposely revealed to Mew during the swap...choice really is a powerful thing, isn't it?

[Dragonstrike]

- First off, the memory of that strange dragon in the mirror...the dragon that Mew would instantly recognize as Giratina herself in her altered form...it's...off-putting.  But considering Reiner's revealing this through indirect means that aren't entirely his fault, that should hopefully avoid at least some of the...passionate responses that are going to occur.

- Second, the various meetings with...well, do I need to say who?  Coincidentally, this also involves the line concerning Giratina having a massive crush on Reiner, though he hasn't put two and two together yet himself.

- And third...there's Taylor.  Lots of it.  And first up is...Reiner's first meeting with Taylor.

7 Years Ago...

The view from the rickety, abandoned house at the top of the mountain was beautiful.  Not that Horsea seemed to care.  She'd just been dragged up here against her will, after all!  She was rather cross with this 'Jeff' and the cloaked figure that seems to be his trainer.

"Oh, pipe down, ya silly seahorse.  Ya wouldn't have been able to get up here without him, anyways.  Besides, if ya hurt him, Lucy here is gonna have a word with ya.  And not a nice one, ya here?"

Horsea doesn't calm down after that.  Just tries to get away from Jeff unsuccessfully, now trying to take extra care to not hurt him in any way.  The last thing she wants is to get shocked by that bird!

'Just calm down please, Horsea.  We're fine, alright?  Just...come here already, wouldja?'

Reiner goes over to the small pond to pick Horsea up carefully.  She glares at Jeff.  Nobody drags her around like that!  Jeff just playfully squirts some sparkling water at her...which only makes her angrier.  Reiner has to physically get her away from the water before she throws a tantrum...

'...*sigh*...okay, who are you really?  Why the interest?  I'm not anybody particularly important.  And why the cloak and hood?'

"...*chuckle*...curious little bugger, aren't ya?  Let's just say I'm not from around here.  Well, I kinda am.  Kinda not.  That's all I can really say.  We're not here to talk about totally not important me, though, a girl who's just trying to make do with what she's got...for now."

Taylor walks up to Reiner and playfully pokes his chest.  Were it not for the bird crackling with electricity on her shoulder, Horsea would have angrily squirted the stranger with water right then and there!

"We're here to talk about you...:

Taylor then swiftly turns around and points at a dark corner of the room.

"...and him."

...which happens to be where Sneasel is...tied up.  The cat's angrily glaring at her.

"Caught him trying to steal from my little stash of items up here.  Seemed particularly interested in the catnip I had lying around from when I was trying to lure him to me earlier.  He's good, but he lacks finesse.  I can help him with that, of course.  Though I doubt he'd listen to me, considering he seems to be oh so focused on you."

Reiner just stares, dumbfounded.

...and then he starts to look a little cross with Taylor too.

"...what the...you let him go, right now!"

"Tsk, tsk, so impatient...but alright.  Lucy?" 

The bird with the lightning bolt shaped head flies over and carefully slits the bindings with one of her talons, then deftly flies out of the cat's range before it can grab her.

"There.  He's free, as you requested.  I'm not here to make an enemy of you, ya know.  In fact, I need Sneasel's help.  And yours, for that matter...there's something...special about you.  I can't quite tell exactly what...but something's there, I guarantee it.  Ya see, I need help acquiring a particular item, but it's been proving to be difficult to do on my own..."

The rest of the conversation is a blur.  Seems Reiner's forgotten what it was Taylor was trying to obtain, since they never got around to trying to get it.  But there's a lingering, distinct feeling that whatever it is, it isn't in Blackthorn...

[Dragonstrike]

Among these memories of Taylor are all the prior ones I've managed to draw out as well...there's a few here and there that are new, but they're mostly uninteresting training montages for him, Horsea/Seadra, and Sneasel.  A couple years of it, in fact.  Whatever Taylor had been planning, it apparently needed everyone to be in top form.  The training was always done on the sly, after Clair and the Elders were done with Reiner's lessons for the day.  Lucy in particular recieves a large amount of focus from Taylor.  Reiner doesn't know why, but she considers the bird rather important in addition to be being a very, very close friend of hers...

A year after they first met is when Taylor first puts the hood of her cloak down.  Her bobbed, blonde hair and blue eyes are stunning, no matter how many times Reiner saw the sight.  Which he could count on two hands easily, actually, but that's besides the point.

To Reiner's knowledge, nobody ever knew Taylor was even there.  The only one he thinks knows for sure about Taylor's existence is the head elder, due to that Dragonite doing...something with Lucy 4 years ago...

...but then I come across something else of note as I explore his memories relating to Taylor...what Reiner's been feeling about Taylor all these years...

Spoiler

Taylor leaving without him, leaving him standing in the middle of the Ice Path with Sneasel, left him at a loss.  All that training they'd gone through together...what did it mean, really?  He...he couldn't help her in the end...she was always helping him...

...and now she'd left.  He wanted to help her...he really did...

...was he just not strong enough...?

...

...why'd she kiss him?  He didn't understand any of this...all this talk about them working together on something, and now...

...

...she'd be back...she'd find Lucy, come find him again...she's the stealthiest, most clever person he knows...he'd give her a week tops.  She'd have found what she was looking for by then for sure...

___________________________________________________________

...that week turned into a month.  And then that month turned into a year...

That first year was miserable.  He'd spent all that time waiting for Taylor and Jeff...nothing.

Not a single sign.  She wasn't going to come back...and if she wasn't, then Reiner didn't really have any desire to see her ever again, as he feels rather...betrayed by the one actual human friend he ever had back in Blackthorn...

Kingdra never liked seeing Reiner in a bad mood, but this...(she still only has 2 out of the needed 4 loyalty at this point)

...it was what caused her to fly into a rage that nearly destroyed the small shop that Team Rocket had setup as a base of operations in Mahogany Town.  Not that Reiner knows that, of course...

...incognito members of Team Rocket of course came out to defend the place...and the fire pokemon they had did a good job of lighting the seahorse on completely on fire and driving her away.

...and after they drive her away, they follow her.  Or rather, Petrel does.  Kingdra aren't common pokemon, even in Johto.  And the fact that there was one in Mahogany Town piqued his own curiosity...


...it was then that he scouted Reiner.  Watched him for an entire year as he struggled to control his dragon seahorse.  Eventually offered him a chance to join Team Rocket and make a better life for himself.

...and that's the abridged version of how it all began...

"Excelent job Riza! Although it would be cool my idea but like they say simple is good. For now just hold him until I get my Pokeballs back..." After Arial takes back all of his Pokeballs he release everyone. "Now Weavile lets put some things straits: I tired, injured, and stress after this long day and perhaps I a madman and everything I NOT in the mood to deal someones like you and I dont want to hurt you since Reiner might kill me, but I will HURT YOU BADLY if you dont calm yourself. Sekmet here." Arial points to the Xenoqueen. "Is a Nuclear Pokemon, and his attacks can cause a lot of damage against pokemon with dual typing. Since you are Dark/Ice, her Nuclear Attacks can cause at least 4x against you. Here, let me show you." Arial then grab a piece of wood who was broken and give Sekmet some quick orders. "Sekmet,, Radioacid with reduce power to melt this wood and to not destroy this room." Then Arial throw the piece in the air in the same time Sekmet summon her nuclear energy. The piece of wood melt in the same time until nothing remaine. "See? I can do that against you not behave yourself. And if this do not scare you she know strong Fire Attacks, so dont try anything funny." Then Arial give another order to Asura and Gaspar. "Gaspar if Weavile do something use Transform. Asura use Encore if Weavile use any move."

Comprehending What Your Trying to Communicate: Insight (*4) + Knowledge (*1 [Drugged Out of his Mind!]) + 1/5 Empathy [Again, Drugged!] (2) = 7D6 Dice, needs at least 3 Successes
(1)(6)(5)(5)(2)(4)(2) 4 Successes!

Yeap, they hear you loud and clear, but will your efforts at cowing the almost senseless black cat?

Intimidation Attempt: STR (2) + Fight (2) + Intimidate (0) + Explaination/Demostration of the Consequences (2) = 6D6 Dice
(2)(4)(4)(2)(4)(2) 3 Successes, Tie
Weavile's Resistence towards Intimidation: STR (3) + Fight (5) + Intimidation (1) + Drugged (1) = 10D6 Dice
(6)(2)(3)(3)(4)(2)(4)(1)(1)(6) 3 Successes, Tie

Weavile might understand the threat you leveled at him and its severity, but it seems he's entirely unimpressed by it, judging by how he let out a huff of breath and rolled his eyes at your/your Pokémon. Oh please, he's face off against threats and been in more harrowing situations then this one (Tonight alone is example enough!) , so getting melted via heat/nuclear radiation is hardly scary for the jaded feline. There is also the fact that his Master, despite being somewhat at odds with them for the moment, would no doubt take a dim view of Arial's perssausion tactics (ESPECIALLY them getting hit with Radio Acid, as the Rads are downright deadly for the Dark type!) and react accordingly , IE: negatively.

However, getting Fainted and/or Raded up would be a major buzz kill for the still high as a kite kitty cat, so in the end they shrugged their shoulders and glanced over to their corner of the room, indiciating that if they let him go he'd just go back and continue munching on his catnip and let them bugger each other for all he cared. Didn't mean they'd keep out of trouble or 'calm down' per say, though, and if pressed about this point they'd give you a deadpan stare that would tell you 'Well, what of it? Either let me go and do my own thing, or blast me with energy and suffer those consequence, you pounce.'

Arial simple smile with the determination of the little Weavile. "Huh, you kinda remind me back in my times in Tandor. I can see in your eyes. These is the eyes of a survivor. Who look in the face of hell itself and go back with determination. Something I would expect from a Pokemon of Reiner." Then Arial give some order to Riza. "Riza dear, could you release now Weavile. I think he learn his lesson. Also, shoot him with Nuclear Energy would indeed cause some problems and even turn him into Nuclear Pokemon." When Riza release the Weavile Arial talk again to the little thief. "I must confess, I like your style. No wonder why Reiner dearly care about you Weavile." Arial thinks for a second. "Hmm, Weavile is kinda a generic name to me. To me, any pokemon deserve a unique name, to make them different from other species. You not a pokemon of mine, but I think you deserve a good one. You are a criminal pokemon, and I already have in mind one good name. Alphonse. Alphonse Capone. The infamous gangster, Alphonse Capone, know too as the mostly famous criminal of all times Al Capone. You can pick if you want, or complete ignore since you Reiner Pokemon." Then Arial give a nod in the head in direction of Riza to them get some good rest.

[Lord Windos]

Your vamperic companion complies with your request immediately, releasing Weavile to fall flat on his ass and retracting her extra arms back to their original position. The black feline gives both you and Riza rather goofy yet scowly looks at the rough treatment, but ends up padding back towards his corner of the room + his catnips to resume his drug fueled relaxation, yeeeesssss. As for your bequeathing the name of an old and infamous mobster, the cat thief consider it for a moment, before shrugging and putting you out of his mind entirely. He doesn't care what he's addressed as, as in the end of the day both he and Reiner know exactly who he is: the best Arceas damn thief this side of the world, baby! One that history will not soon forget, once he commits his first big capper of the century...

Riza perks up once you motion towards her bed, and after half a minute of deciphering your gesture figures out that you are signaling its bed time, and nods her head back in response.

{Bed Time? Ok. Good Night, Arial....}

She then treads over to the bed, slips under the sheets, and lays down for the night. It'll take awhile before she fully acclimates to her surroundings and tires enough for true sleep, but for now she's drowsing away, preparing for no doubt a busy day tomorrow.....

[Spiritmon]

Arial sights a bit then decided to wait a bit for Reiner returns to finally sleeps. "Today was a rough day isn't that right guys?" Say right for they Pokemon. "Welp I think we should rest a bit. Including both of you, Levias, Asura. We will have a long day tomorrow and we might need all energy we have. I know you want to return the pokeball Carracosta so feel free. I will have to stay awake for a while." Then Arial checks his bag to find something to read. He eventually find a book and begin to read. Gaspar soon join his Master. He still mad about everything but that doesn't mean he dont care about his sibiling! Carracosta obviously return to the Pokeball but Asura decided to stay a while out of the Pokeball training his punch and everything. Melchior and Sekmet sleep close to Arial for better protection, each one in opositive directions since they dont like much each other. And Baltzar decided to finally sleep too with the lights who represents his face begin to fade away, something similar to a machine been turning off. He now looks like a bunch of stones (with is something I imagined a Astronite sleeping I guess). Arial hugs his brother, like some teddy bear (wich it is a cute scene) and say. "Hey Gaspar, thanks for rescue me too bro. I didn't have the chance to thank you sooner too. You the best pokemon brother a guy like me would wish for. Love you brother." Arial smile and hug tigher his brother. "You know that right? To me, you, Melchior and Baltazar is like family to me. Just like Sekmet, Asura and Carracosta is now to me. Never leave me right? I...dont want to loose precious to me ever again."

[Spiritmon]

After saying that, Arial couldn't resist and fall sleep not before heading in the bed still hugging Gaspar and finally falling sleep.

(Ready to begin the next day when Reiner finish his conversation with Mew!)

[Lord Windos]

Dragonstrike- First off, the memory of that strange dragon in the mirror...the dragon that Mew would instantly recognize as Giratina herself in her altered form...it's...off-putting.  But considering Reiner's revealing this through indirect means that aren't entirely his fault, that should hopefully avoid at least some of the...passionate responses that are going to occur.

- Second, the various meetings with...well, do I need to say who?  Coincidentally, this also involves the line concerning Giratina having a massive crush on Reiner, though he hasn't put two and two together yet himself.
"No, but I always appreciate the any form of attention, so please, continue with them little drake, hehehehe......"
- And third...there's Taylor.  Lots of it.  And first up is...Reiner's first meeting with Taylor.

7 Years Ago...

*More Back Story, Yes!!!*

Among these memories of Taylor are all the prior ones I've managed to draw out as well...there's a few here and there that are new, but they're mostly uninteresting training montages for him, Horsea/Seadra, and Sneasel.  A couple years of it, in fact.  Whatever Taylor had been planning, it apparently needed everyone to be in top form.  The training was always done on the sly, after Clair and the Elders were done with Reiner's lessons for the day.  Lucy in particular recieves a large amount of focus from Taylor.  Reiner doesn't know why, but she considers the bird rather important in addition to be being a very, very close friend of hers...

A year after they first met is when Taylor first puts the hood of her cloak down.  Her bobbed, blonde hair and blue eyes are stunning, no matter how many times Reiner saw the sight.  Which he could count on two hands easily, actually, but that's besides the point.

To Reiner's knowledge, nobody ever knew Taylor was even there.  The only one he thinks knows for sure about Taylor's existence is the head elder, due to that Dragonite doing...something with Lucy 4 years ago...

...but then I come across something else of note as I explore his memories relating to Taylor...what Reiner's been feeling about Taylor all these years...

Spoiler

*Insert Hurt Feelings of Betreyal Here + Recruitment Here*

(...)......but whatever thoughts that could continued was halted when you notice Mew now rested in your arms, eyes closed and lightly breathing as if sleeping.

Mew, still trapped 'slumbering' in her dream like state , was currently processing all the indicated memories that you nudged her way for both expediency's shake AND to further demonstrate your how much you trust/care for her. Unlike your trip down memory lane, however, the psychic feline (She soooo glad that this is the case again!) was able to maintain her sense of self/perspective through the snippets of your life, as several thousand years of experience and her natural talet with Psychic energies/Mental Manipulation . That didn't mean she had control over what she saw in anyway, however, so all this amounted to was her getting the chance to process it all as it the mythical cat 'saw' it.....

Initially, seeing Giratina, the Queen of The Underworld threw the Mythic for QUITE a loop and off balance, and would have caused them to blanch if she wasn't locked into a pseudo Sleep state. 'Giratina?! What in her names is she doing spying on Reiner like a creepy stalker?! Last time I checked neither me or Reiner has done anything to warrant HER ire or attention, unless she's just board and decided to see what so interesting about 'Mew's human.' Graaaagh......well, knowing her she won't try anything and keep silent until she damn well wishes or is called out, so we should go unmolested by her for the most part......I desperately pray that will the case, at least.....'

Next came the snippets and memories of Reiner's interactions with one Miss Taylor, and the end result of that viewing left Mew feeling rather curious and bemused, yet strangely jealous at the same time. 'Huh, so THAT's who she is , and why her mere memory resonates so strongly with him. Probably why he so awkward and terrible with most ladies too, given how badly burned he got when she left him high and dry in Mahogoney Town for a couple of years, hmmm~! .....Still, if she returns and tries to rekindle that spark of romance between them, first they have to deal with Kyubi being aggressively possessive over him, then Angelica ready to pounce on her if she tries anything hurtful or funny, then ME if she dares tries to play him for a fool once more, hmpt!'

.....Huh, now that she thinks about it, there is an awful lot of pretty women in her partner's life (past and present), ready to serve his needs in whatever capacity he wishes (Including herself....to an extent). Maybe Arial had a point with his comment......though it doesn't make it any less than increadibly rude and embarrassing for him to say it!!!

The last and unarguably worst of the memories she had were the friendly chats that the little drake had with me, though she missed out on the vast majority of the content due to it being unfortunately rendered completely incomprehensible gibberish , no matter how hard she stressed her poor brain to understand or accept what she was witnessing.

Hehehe.....All that power and mythical might at her disposal, and she can hardly parse what little is available for her perusal (Which would be the small musical with GREAT production values, my ever so humble introduction towards her 'partner' , and that delightful tidbit about my hard crushing friend). How adorably pathetic.....yet its FAR MORE HER WRETCHED, MISERABLE PINK STAIN OF EXISTENCE IS WORTH.

....Oh dear, I am ever so sorry about that! My temper is hardly the most stable affair when she's the topic of it, so I do hope you forgive me for my lapse in patience!

Regretably getting back on topic, the pink fuzzball was in a stock of severe shock at seeing her servent and little old me chewing the fat, her figurative jaw hanging and quivering in fright, uncertainty, and oh so delicious rage . 'No.....NO!!  Its THEM, its Arceas damn THEM!!! Reiner....Reiner's talking to THEM, being toyed with them by THEM , being....being manipulated by THEM!!!  Damn it all, Windos was FUCKING right that they were involved in our bodyswap, and now they are mucking about with his life directly! Grraaagh, I can't understand even half of what they are saying , its all gobbley gook and nonsense.....THEY must have shielded this memory, the rat face bastard!!!'

Now isn't that flattery of the finest, coming from such a gorgon like you Mew!

'Zuyrk. You......You......YOU-!'

Handsome devil? Why thank you yet again for the compli-

'YOU SPITEFUL, HATEFUL, CONCEITED, BLIND, ZEALOUS, AND RETARDED MOTHER FUCKING PAIR OF FLAPPERS!!!  DO EVERYTHING A FAVOR, AND GO DROWN IN PURE LIGHT!!!!'

........HehehehHAHAHA! Apparently your hatred of me hasn't waned at ALL throughout the eons since we last meet, eh?

GOODY. IT BE A DYING SHAME IF THE FEELING WASN'T M U T U A L.

Mew suddenly had an rather extreme, potent, and debilitating migrane at that instance, which was coupled with the feeling of being crushed and suffocating at the same time!!! Ah, why not throw in feeling Super Badly Poisoned, Severely Paralyzed and Burnt, trapped in a Nightmare, and Frozen to her core?! Ooo, ooo, lets add Begruded Exhaution, Spiteful Feelings, Memento, and every number of Attribute reduction that exists in this world to her suffering as well?! Isn't that just WONDERFULL everybody?! HehehehehAHAHAHA!!!

'Aaaaaaaaaaagghhhhaaaaaack!Zuryk.......haaaa........are.......haaaa.......you......going........to.................break......................your........................................promise......................haaaaaaa..................to.........................................................haaaaaaa.......your brother.............?'

........As she said this, all those awful things ceased in their entirety, but the poor pathetic wreach still was smarting from that woefully brief moment. In fact, she was hurting so much that she knew better than speaking in her current state, right?

'Haaaaaaa.........Haaaaaaaa..........Haaaaaaaa..........'

Yes indeedy, hehehehe! I thank you for reminding me of that promise my brother made me swear so long ago. 'Please.....don't seek vengeance for this, brother. I won't ask you to protect her, or continue treating her with warmth, kindness and respect, but promise me that no harm will come from her by your hand. She's.....she's right in what she choose, and she's my soul mate, so please promise this to me Zuyrk! Please...!' if I remember his words and voice correctly, right Mew? Right?

'..........................................'

Right. Mew, d a r l i n g......that is one of only three reasons why I haven't killed you or worse yet, with the others being you are still of use, and that Arceas would just take the opportunity to recreate you from scratch exactly how she wants. But mostly because my brother loved endured, despite WHAT YOU DID TO HIM. WHAT YOU ACTIONS LEAD TO. WHAT YOU FOOLISHY, INVARIABLY CAUSED.

'..................................................................'

Hehehe.....funny how things turned out, right? No other Legendary or Mythic could have claim to have caused the death of a True God, and forever changed the state of humanity, the natural order, the world and universe, you know! Aren't you proud of your accomplishments, Mew? A r e  y o u  n o t  p r o u d  t o  m a k e  s u c h  a  b I g  c h a n g e ?

'............................................*sobs*..........................................................'

I believe that I don't have to ask that, do I?

.....I guess not, huh? Well, lovely as it is to have this heartaching stroll through memory lane, I'm a busy being of increadible power, so I don't have much time to spare in my sceduale....well, at least not for you. I came to visit you to give you.....let's call it a polite warning, yes? Avoid snooping in my affairs with the little drake you have ensnared , less you suffer the consequences. I'm rather patient and tolerant to you, all things considered, but even that has a finite limit . Do you understand?

'............'

Do I need to repeat myself, Mew?

'.......No. .........I understand...........'

Goody! I hate for their to be possible......miscommunications between ourselves, yes? Awful things those are, as they cause a lot of problems for everyone, hehehehe........

Hmm......if you happen to piece together what's going on, though, by all means share it with the little drake! But no sooner than that, got it?

'........Yes.'

Glad that we could come to an accord, Mew! Now, I'll just let you go and return to your 'rightful' body, and luxuriate in the closeness you have with Reiner that you don't deserve.

Not after what you did.

Chao, my horrible little sister in law~!

Mew eyes opened up after........they said their farwells, and she craned her neck up to meet the eyes of her Partner.

She then buried her head into his chest, and began to cry uncontrollably.

[Dragonstrike]

Mew eyes opened up after........they said their farwells, and she craned her neck up to meet the eyes of her Partner.

She then buried her head into his chest, and began to cry uncontrollably.

Reiner doesn't say a word at first, just holds her close.  He figured she wasn't going to like what she saw.  After a few minutes, he speaks.

"...well, seems I'm getting mixed up in your personal issues now as well, based on what I experienced...yeah, I'm in over my head, through no choice of my own...and let me tell you..."

"...I bloody well HATE that."

A moment passes again...

Reiner holds Mew closer again., trying his best to calm down..

"...what did he do, Mew? I know he did something as soon as the topic came up. He always seems to..."
