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

[Lord Windos]

[Hmmm...I'd be surprised if Kingdra actually knows of Lucy's draconic potential...for all Reiner knows, she's just a little yellow bird]

"...hehe...would you rather they have taken you down with normal attacks?  For if that were to have happened, you probably would have whiffed more than just one move...in any case, I'd rather not be relying on someone who can't hold their own when the going gets tough, so I wouldn't feel too bad about losing to an OHKO when you were already on your last le...er...fins, alright?  We've got a difficult day ahead of us tomorrow, girl...let's hope it goes better than today, right?  Always hoping for a brighter tomorrow, forging our own path...funny how she [i.e. Taylor] still has so much of an impact on our daily lives, isn't it?"

[Dragons can just sense these things, like they can sense a worthy trainer!]

The now not so raging dragoness gives you a deadpan glare and boops you with a bit more force at creating THAT train of thought, as in her opinion no other possibility but her victory against her given opponent should be entertained. Sure, she may sometimes end up losing despite all the TREMEDOUS POWER she wields in both her Elements, but she wasn't going waste time or energy dwelling on all the ways she could be defeated! Either she demolished her target with varying (most often EXTREME) amounts of force, or they SOMEHOW get one up on her (the lucky bastards....). Simple!

Kingdra is in full agreement with your desires for a better day/assessment, fortunately, mirroring you optimisim by craning her head up and letting out a loud trumpeting noise of AMBITION and TRIUMP. Together, they'll seize the day tomorrow and conquer that damnable Nuclear Research Facility, and make it their own! Count on it and their Draconic, Aquatic Power!!!

Arial pat the head of his two brothers. "Yeah, we can think in that later Melchior. We have some time tomorrow to train the Defense attack strategy later. For now, lets rest." Arial to his brother Gaspar and gave him a hug and a kiss on his head. "Dont worry Gaspar. I think too we should avoid explosions. I believe we have enough explosions for a whole day. Dont want to let others think I have fetish with explosions. Just enjoy your fish and lets forget the problems."

Arial nods his head in thanks. "I may need to take a look later on Durendal. There is somethings to decide." Arial then stand up. "Enjoy the food you guys. See ya. Love you two." Then Arial make his way in another direction. He see Baltazar in deep medidation. He have his luminescence eye close and his legs cross and flying on the ground. Asura was problably doing something and is noticing that scene and making company to the tired and fainted Airmid. Arial aproach Asura and say. "He always do that after some tough battles. He takes the time to rest in deep medidation both to recover his wounds in battle, and to record the information and memories in powerfull mind. More or less like a computer. He is not a super computer like Metagross, but he have on his memory thousands of years of memories from the space when he was a little rock."

Arial make a sad face. "He used to show me some of that memories...and they were beautiful. The beauty of the birth of a new star, or the light of a comet...he used to show me when I was young. Even when I have fighting to survive, Baltazar save my imagination and some joy of a child. At least in some rare moments. He is the more wise of us, and the my elder brother. And he was the one who risk everything to bring my mind in place again after the Psychic Trauma." Arial then close his eyes. "As much I would admit this trauma on my brain give some advantage to not have psychic pokemon or psychic people search and read my mind, I miss quite a lot the mental conversation I once have with him...I would love talk again."

Arial then make a shame face. "I sorry, heh. I drift on though again. Sorry to bother you Asura. You did a amazing job out there. When you battle against Arbok I mean. Even you have used Fighting-moves against a Poison-type, you land very powerfull blows, and thats blows was enough to weak his Mega-form. Not only that, but you was able to control your anger. But its not only good things: You disobey my instructions during our battle. We soon gonna go to the Nuclear Factory, a place filled with Nucmons. Pokemon capable to corrupt you...and make you unstable to attack us in the worse scenario. Reiner have recommended to not bring you along with me, because Fighting type have much problems to deal with Nuclear-type."

"I will not lie to you Asura: This might be the dangerous mission we ever face. And there is a problabability of death is there. Even if we survive against the Nuclear Onslaugh, there is something worse in that place. Worse and powerfull enough to rival even the power of a Legendary Pokemon." Arial then look in Asura eyes. "I need your confirmation Asura. I may your trainer, but your a important member of this team as much everyone. We cant risk you become a Nuclear Pokemon and let your anger control even more you. More than ever we must begin to trust to each other, as trainer and pokemon. As partners. We need to have a honest and strong bond."

Arial then raise his hand. "I weak alone. I dont have the same strengh as you. Can you...lend me some of your might and courage?"

"...or unlucky us.  Been no shortage of that recently...there is such a thing as things going a little too well for one side or another..."

*sigh*

"...you are right, though.  Not much of a point dwelling on it right now.  Just keep in mind that was a practice battle, and it took three pokemon and an OHKO to bring ya down this time.  Hehehe.  Arial has a looonnnng way to go if he hopes to keep up.  We face him again, we're not holding back anything, right?  Can't have him show us up by giving him another chance to claim an 'easy' victory, right?"

...

"...alright, you get some rest, girl.  Top form, keep it calm.  Ya did well today, even if it wasn't as well as ya might have liked."

Another hug from Reiner before Kingdra is recalled.  Raijin is next.

"...well, told ya we had to be careful 'round that glowing green thing.  Ya doin' okay?  Wasn't expecting them to cream ya that quickly.  Or demolish you with such ease at all, for that matter.  Was a little excessive if you ask me."

The king of the concrete jungle was indeed sitting by Airmid's side as she recovered from preforming Healing Wish, though he padded over to your side when you made the motions to join him, making a 'shushing' gesture before he quietly listened to you. Truthfully, he hadn't been paying too much mind to the Psychic Golem or his meditations, instead reviewing over the entire last battle and making sure the cleric fish was alright. Prioritation and his duties to look after his subject, and all that. Now that you revealed the full meaning behind Baltazar's actions, Asura looks over to them and begans seeing them through a new light, stroaking his chin thoughtfully all the while. Huh...no wonder they were known as the Wise King, with all that experience contained within their stone cranium thing. Perhaps one day he could utilize such wisdom to improve himself and his ability to rule? Hmm.....

Asura neutral expression transitions to a grimace of sympathy as you described the loss of your deeper connection with your brother, laying a hand on your shoulder and giving you a firm nod/look of sympathy. He could not begin to understand the full impact of such a devastating tragedy, but he COULD still lend what little aid he could to help you out, and a little hope that things will return to as they were someday. A king aspires to inspire his people/subjects, and a FRIEND makes know he cares about his companion's plights.....

The no longer ballistic baboon calmly accepts all the compliments of his battle performance with good grace and humbleness (Hard not be, after seeing how outmatch you are against another opponent), and raises an eyebrow at the slight reaming you gave him for his Infuriating temper tantrum. His species were known for their berserker rages, and he's rather prideful about his own ability to make the right choices when it comes down to it, so he doesn't see anything TOO bad about it. Especially since you were the one to motivate him to such....excitable levels, before letting him try to do TERRIBLE monkey business to that Mega Arbok.

Still, after seeing Sekmet ANNIALATE multiple Pokémon with Nuclear POWAH! , and acknowledging how his own weakness towards that insidious element could compound his existing quirks, understood what you were getting at. He was more in mind to agree with Reiner's assessment of him staying out of the raid on the NRF, but if necessary he was willing to set aside his own Initiative and reign his temper to better work alongside you more safely while at that location. A ruler must know when to argue for his right to rule, and when to compromise with his retainer, and now was the time for the later....

Kingdra giving you one last friendly/encouraging/nuzzling boop on the head, before letting herself be recalled. She had faith in her majesty and power as The Dragon Queen of the Sea, and with you leading her in battle she KNOWS without a doubt that she couldn't be in better, more worthy hands than yours. Together, they will prevail against the tides of destiny, and make their own waves in this unforgiving world!!!

The thunder god lackadasily shrugged and nodded his head in response, before crossing both arms behind his head, defaulting back to his typical cool and apathetic demeanor. Now that he knew what Nuclear Power was capable of doing to him, he wouldn't take it or whomever used it anywhere nearly as lightly, but now that the conflict has passed he couldn't find it in himself to care/worry about it.

"...well, fair warning, but I might be needing your help tomorrow.  Gonna be facing a whole complex full of those kinds of critters tomorrow if things go badly.  I'm going to try avoid using those of you that are more...volatile and vulnerable around Nuclear types, but if it gets real dicey, I may have no choice but to do just that.  Gah...really wish I didn't have to go in that blasted place...a little too dangerous even if you're prepared...place is a deathtrap..."

"...anyways, can I count on ya as a last resort?  You, Arbok, Weavile, and the Eevee are unfortunately not in very favorable matchups there, but if the proper Dragon types and Steel types don't cut it for some reason, there's not gonna be much other choice but to use what's left."

 Raijan stared at you when you brought at THAT unpleasant fact to his attention, and didn't do anything else for several minutes. Finally, when you thought he wouldn't do much of anything at all , he slowly nodded his head , eyes still half lidded and apathetic , but his arms now hanging loosely by his side, and claws clenched tightly. If he's put into such a hellish situation, he'll give it his all , as no matter how lazy and unmotivated he was, he did NOT want to die. 


Then, in an uncharacter display of emotion from the lightning lizard, he crossed his arms and cocked his head at you, giving a warning look that left nothing to imagination. If he's summoned, and he goes all out.....things were going to get bad for anyone but himself, and FAST. If you thought his performance under Archie's command was something, the seeing him actually putting some effort into his attacks......that something truly terrifying.

[Spiritmon]

"I gladly to know you understand Asura. Don't think I made at you or something like that. I know your species become powerful but don't to anyone else in that state of rage. But I worry if in case you became ionizer with nuclear energy. And that's what I fear most. I don't want to see any of you die...or worse. I admit I may be a Rocket Grunt, but I have a more deep connection with Pokemon more than humans. To me, each pokemon of mine is like family."

Arial open a smile with see Asura cooperation. "Thanks. I owe you a lot Asura. I will probably going in hunt tomorrow to find any steel type suitable for the mission in the nuclear factory if got the chance. Eat something okay? Even a king must eat."

Then Arial say something to Baltazar. "You did a awesome job Baltazar, but drop a bit the meditation okay? You must eat something right now. Even you need to have energy soon."

With that conversation Arial decided to have time to rest and eat anything. He wait finish their food so he can go his room to talk with Durendal and have some rest.

"Good.  Exactly what I'd expect to see.  As I said though, last resort.  I'd rather not put anyone in unnecessary danger.  Thank you, Raijin.  That's all I really needed from you for now.  Glad to hear you're doing okay.  Get some rest and be ready for tomorrow."

Time to recall Raijin.

Reiner just sits in the room for a moment afterwards, stroking Ridia as she's napping.  Thinking.

...well, suppose he better talk with Yang too before turning in for the night.

The monkey majesty gave you couple of sharp nods in response and thumped his chest with a resolved expression, fully comprehending the love and compassion you had in regards to him and your other Pokémon/other Pokémon in general, before joining Melchoir and Gasper at the buffet to regally stuff his face. A good king needed to keep himself well feed in order to preform his duties, so he shall head his retainer's advice and dig right in!

Baltazar didn't break their meditation at your request, but an empty dish by the buffet was sudden wreathed in psychic energy, before it was pilled with fruit and floated over to them. One by one, chucks of their meal were floated up to their 'mouth' , before they.....vanished to wherever it goes in their stony bodies to be processed into usable energy. Freaky, but cool!

Eventuallly, dinner time was concluded and you recalled everyone before stalking to your room, where you found Durandel already snoozing at the foot of your bed with a simply content expression. No signs of Riza or the like, but given how Stealthy she was, you could be standing right beside her and still don't know where she was....
