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

[Lord Windos]

Spoiler

(Ah, but that's only because Reiner hasn't done his part yet, Mew. )

(I think we were looking forward to this for different reasons, though.  So sorry if that's a disappointment for you!  Now then, on to the main mechanical reason Reiner's doing all of this!~)

Reiner closes his eyes and nods.

...and then he slips the warped ring onto his finger as best as he can.  And that should increase Mew's Happiness and Loyalty by 1 (ignoring any existing caps on the stats) so long as they both hold their respective rings.  And also Reiner's towards Mew, technically speaking, even though there's no numbers on the actual character sheet to depict that.

(And there ya go, Mew.  Surprise!  A little something to make the next few months easier on both of you.  Say what you will about Romeo and Juliet, but when their devotion to each other was strong enough to transfer even just a fraction of it to these seemingly simple wedding bands...)

...of course, wearing such a distorted ring for long periods of time would not only look telling, but would also be uncomfortable.  Good thing Windos said Reiner doesn't have to keep the ring on his finger in my discussions with him.  Reiner slips Juliet's Wedding Ring back into his pocket once it's clear he can't keep wearing it on his finger for long periods of time.

"...it's done then.  Thank you for continuing to give me a chance, Mew, even though I've screwed up in absolutely massive ways lately."

He leans down and picks up the Expert Belt.  "Probably going to be incredibly handy for what's to come no matter who's using it..."

And then he looks at Mew.  "Well, before we do much else in the way of the NRF, there's one more thing we need to have in place: how long would it take you to convert a Z-Crystal (Fightinium specifically in this case) into a Mewnium Z?  If it takes more than a few seconds, we should probably create one now so we don't have to worry about it later if we do need to level the NRF entirely.  I don't mind carrying an 'armed nuke' around when we can only use it if we both agree that it's necessary."

-------------------------

"Hehe...good to see you too, Emily.  No, nothing happened in particular.  I need to head back out again soon, though.  Stopped by to make a few preparations since I need to visit a rather...dangerous location, unfortunately.  Gonna take awhile to deal with that little issue to try and prevent something from happening in the first placr, but it needs to be done...*sigh*...can't just catch a break, really...but I have a little time, at least, so that's good.  Not much, but maybe enough for now."

He looks Emily in the eyes.

"I'm sorry for leaving ya out to dry lately.  Been difficult to adjust to things being a little more relaxed for your end of things, what with how busy I've been recently.  Ya doing at least a little better, though?"

-------------------
(...)
---------------------

"...mind backing up just a liiitle bit there, Adamantine?  Don't exactly want to be pricked by one of those large barbs of yours by accident, so a little more space would be very much appreciated.  Name's Reiner, by the way.  Gonna be needin' your help dealing with somethin' soon.  Something you should be very well suited for."

Aside from the immediate worry of how little space there is, everything's fine.

---------------------

"Glad to see we have an understanding, then.  I wish things would stay simple too, to be honest, but things just keep coming up at the worst times."  He shrugs.  "No plans involving getting torn to pieces, I can assure you of that."

(...)

(None that Team Rocket needs to immediately worry about, if at all, anyways.)

(That doesn't mean we can't share joy in this occasion, puppetter, no matter how where we find it! And hw could I be disappointed, if I already knew the outcome from the very beginning? Hehehehehe.....)
(Rings are typically worn in the one of the two 'Ring Slots' that a NPC/Player has, but I'm willing to allow that once 'equipped' it can be transferred to a pocket and still 'count' as being worn. But only for that ring, and it still takes up a Ring Slot!)

Mew was halfway through giving you a nod in return for you comment, when you slipped on your ring on.

Immediately, you experience what could only be vaguely described as a 'jolt of connectivity', and fractions of a second later you felt yourself grow closer to the sociopathic mythical being! Your bond and general good with her mood increasing noticeably despite how 'stiff' and cold both were before hand, and you now feel as though you understand your partner more than ever before! Once you got accustomed to that....strengthened connection, you finally notice one last detail: the warped ring you were wearing was now emanating a comforting warmth, not unlike an electric blanket or a mug of hot chocolate.

What in the world....?

Your own ponderings on this event were arrested when you hear what was unmistakably a gasping "Mew!" , causing you to automatically snap your head towards the pink panther to see what the dickens was the matter.

From what you could plainly at first glance, you weren't the only one affecting by the mutual wearing of the wedding bands.

Her eyes and pupils were greatly contracted, and was trembling all over as she shakily raised her ringed paw and stared at it for a moment.

'W-What? Wait, no, this can't be real......-!- yes, it is true. I....I can feel. Faintly, shallowly, and almost pitiful amount compared to what I remembering experiencing, but I can FEEL. This.....this should be impossible, but it is not, and its because of.......'

Before you could even react, the no longer totally apathetic feline was right into both your and somehow your face as they stared at you two in a never before seen (for you) mix of unshakeable authority and breathless, almost ephemeral joy.

'Never unequip that ring under any circumstance, unless I say so. If us wearing these wedding bands restore even a fraction of my capacity to feel, then I want them on 24/7. Being a shadow of former self is much for us better than me feeling that vacuous, gnawing emptiness, so we keep these rings ON. Understood?' 

'.....And Thank You. Thank you so much. You've not totally redeemed yourself yet, but this....this is a good start. A very good start.'

Once things settle down between you/you have a chance to react, you move onto the your request, to which the semi-sociopathic Mythic slightly grimaced in distaste before it cleared the way as they calmly shook her head.

'It can be done almost instantaneously, if you have the Will for it. A small part of me feels that utilizing its power is a poor idea, but logically I find it to be a sound idea to have a 'Godzilla Threshold' option. If the situation happens to become hellish at the NRF, then it can hardly be worsened by a Genesis Supernova from me. Just give me the Fightingum Z, and I can convert it into a Mewium Z now."

Presumably you do so, and a briefly flash of light and brief but potent sense of enervation later Mew is 'holding' the what is analogous to the trigger for one of the most destructive 'nuking' moves in all of existence. Mewium Z and access to Genesis Supernova gain! 1 Willpoint Spent!

-------------------------

The little miss just giggled harder and tightened her hug on your legs at your initial two remarks, some tension/worry leaving her as you declared all was (for now) fine and dandy for you. However, when you began speaking of the not so great news Emily tensed right back up again, letting you go and take a couple of steps back return your look with a troubled one of her own.

".....Are you talking about Nuclear Research place that dumb cockhead of yours and my parents talked about? I don't know much about it, only that its a very, very scary, nasty, and bad. *Makes a pouty face* Why do you have to go there? I know you are REALLY tough like and can do anything, but.....I still don't like you going somewhere that awful..."

She goes silent after this, tilting her head down to kick at the floor. 

---------------------

The bio metallic colossus continues to stare at you a few more seconds after you kindly request your personal space back, before backing up and bobbing her head, the spikes on top nearly scraping the ceiling as she did so. Naturally, she curious about her new master and wants to learn more about them, but not enough that it override the obvious concern of turning you into a bloody pin cushion with a careless caress.

Well, at least until they becomes familiar enough with each other to NOT stab/get stabbed by her Iron Barbs. Then she can start motorboating you to her heart's content, if she ever had the inclination.

At you declaration of needing her assistance in a task she could excel in, she tilts her body curiously at you trying to figure out what that was. What could he be referring to.....ah. That must be it.

Nodding slightly to herself, the barbed ironweed lowered herself to the ground, and inexplicably the barbs on top of her armor retracted inwards! She then focus her attention squarely on you, looking.....expectant.

Reiner Empathy Roll: Insight + Survival + 1/2 Empathy (You don't know her THAT well to use it all) = 11D6 Dice, need at least 4 Successes to completely understand her intent.
(3)(4)(4)(3)(2)(5)(6)(4)(4)(1)(3) 6 Successes!

You think....she wants you to get on, so that she can carry you around? What? Oh wait.....she knows Rock Climb, and her species is naturally inclined to scale as sorts of surfaces! She mistakenly assumed that you wanted to use that Move/trait of her to utilize her as some sort of mobile defense fortress, and 'complied'! Huh!


---------------------

"*A long, aggravated Sigh* Its less of an understanding, and more that I know you well enough that its impossible for me to beat some sense into that stubborn head of yours, short of calling a disciplinary squad on your ass, and that FAR more trouble than its worth right now.  Right now, me and all the Executive are too busy dealing with all the Mankey shit that been flying around since the Flower Festival started, and I am frankly can't be arsed right now to give much more a damn about you than I already have. All I want to do right now is finish my work so I can then crash for the next 7-10 hours, so if you want to get a deep green tan from all those Corrupt Nucmons in the meantime, be my guest. "

"*Sighs* Word of advice: very few plans survive contact with the enemy or a live scenario, especially when dealing with monster like THOSE. As much as I am loathed to say it, just.....do what you do best when things go straight from shit to fan: wing it like no tomorrow and get the hell out of there. There, that's my friendly two cents for you, so take them and get out of my hair...."

Aw....he IS worried about you, even if he rather chock on a bottle of aspirin than say so outright! Your superior is a Tsundere!

...

"Fucking phenomenal news. I'll ask you more about the details later, but at least Team Rocket doesn't have to worry about the Sterlings breathing down our necks for now. Now, if you excuse me, *Sighing and massing his temples* I got work to finish up. Good-bye."

*Click!* ....And the call is terminated, the holograph of you beleaguered Executive winking out as you are left alone. That call went over moderately well!

"I'll keep it on my person at all opportunities and try not to lose or drop it.  It's good to have you back, Mew, even though it's only a small part of what you were before."

--------------------

"...yes.  I need to see if I can keep the situation from getting any worse before it actually does, even though I'd rather not go there at all as well.  Erika can't do anything about it herself and has asked me to look into this, and Mew doesn't want to see the whole city overrun by Nuclear types and then leveled by a fellow Legendary in response, so..."

He kneels down in front of Emily.

"If things go really sour, I promise we will get the heck out of there, and deal with the NRF another way.  Mew and I don't have any plans involving getting killed in there.  Alright?"

...

"In other news, one of my preparations is something I don't think you'll want to miss, and a little bit of help from you would also be appreciated.  You want to see Ridia evolve?" Notably, though, he's not said what Ridia is going to evolve into yet...

------------------

Reiner chuckles and gives Adam an appreciative pat on the hard, currently non-barbed shell.  "Appreciate the offer, but that's not quite what I was referring to at the moment.  Erika didn't use ya very often in battle, right?  Well, you're about to see a little action.  Familiar with Nuclear types?  Gonna be facing a bunch of those, and you're very well suited for the task of battling the glowing, green beasties.  Up for a little challenge?  This isn't going to be easy once we get into the thick of things."

[Dragonstrike]

"Dont blame me. I was in shock after such vision okay? I could only remember the vision of my dream only now. Be face to face with a Cursed Arm User in visions its not something easy." When Reiner tell that Alice girl is dangerous Arial make a poker face. "And there is any Cursed Arm User who is not dangerous? What did Mew tell about the Cursed Arm User and the Cursed Arm abilities? It would be good to know what we gonna face since I a target too. Oh and that Alice girl somehow reconize Tobias and Juliet. You think she is conect somehow to Romeo and Juliet?"

"...Mew said to prepare for the worst...and expect to die.  Every single Legend and Mythic is so scared of her, they don't even talk about her.  And the weapon's name is fairly self explanatory.  You get hit, and you're dead."

Another nose pinch.

"...you said she called us her children too, yeah?  She's definitely way older than she appears to be...I wouldn't be surprised if she's been that weapon's only wielder for as long as it's existed, to be honest..."

...

"...I'm gonna go take care of trading for that Male Froslass now.  Yes, you heard that correctly, a Male one.  Don't ask."

Reiner walks off before Arial can respond, leaving Arial with Durendal.  He definitely doesn't want to continue talking about that Cursed Arm at this current point in time...

Emily didn't make a peep as you confirmed her assumption, her gloved hands balled up into fists and head still titled downwards in consterned worried.  Your Thursday night hunt for the Vampire and confrontation with....with that MONSTER impressed upon the smol artist just how dangerous your lifestyle could be. So hearing that you were going to stalk headfirst into the goulish and infamous NRF.....well, it was clear she didn't like that one bit. Hero or not in her eyes, she knew you weren't invincible.....

However, your solemn assurance does cause her to slowly relax, loosening her near fabric tearing grip as she looked back at you with hope, before she leaned to envelope you in a hug you.

".....Alright, minster. If you, Miss Erika, and Mew think you have go over there and.....take care of it, then it must be really important. *Sniff* ...I know you can do anything and are super tough minster, but....please be careful. Okay?"

...

The little miss was seemingly disarmed of her worry when you brought up Big Sis' upcoming Evolution, causing her to let out a cute little *Gasp!* as she let you go and clasped both hands in front of her.

"Really? *Smiles, and softly giggles* Yes, yes! I want to see her become big and strong, and help however I can! You can count on me!"

With that excited agreement, the two of you make your way back to the Training Room....

…and where greeted with the sight of Lindworm cemented on the floor by Sliggoo, who was just simply (and eagerly) cuddling with him, looking extremely and blissfully content. The excommunicated acolyte for his part looked resigned to this fate, until he spot you two entering the room, giving the girl a quick glance before looking at you in an almost pitiful and definitely plaintive manner.

"....Help?"

The Dragosnail hasn't noticed either of you yet, too busy giving ETLC to her hunk of a master, while Emily couldn't help but place a hand over her mouth to smother a giggle at the sight. Yang seemed completely non-plussed by all this, but you feel that he was faintly amused by this too.

Guess you can't leave these two alone, huh?

------------------

A shake from the barbed ironweed was her response to your first question, somehow looking put off by that fact. She liked battling as much as the next Pokémon, so being denied that pastime for long stretches of time wore on her greatly. Hearing the status quo was soon going to change caused her to perk right back up and let out a pleased hum, before she gave you an eye smile in response. Oh, isn't THAT news she loved to hear!

She gave you a confused tilt of her head when you brought up Nuclear types, as due to being sheltered/put up for so long left her completely oblivious of their existence, but the bio metallic colossus was swift to bob herself up and down in simple but plain excitement at the mention of wading into some serious 'good' fights. Yes, that was EXACTLY the sort of thing she's been wishing for a long time.  She's already taken a shine to her new master, but if he keeps up with the good news she might start dancing with joy!

"We'll definitely be very careful.  Those Nuclear types aren't something to be messed with without the proper preparations, and we all damn well know it."

...

"...I take it Lindworm explained what's about to happen, Sliggoo?  Big day for ya, right?"  That should get her attention, and hopefully get her off Lindworm since there's more company again.

Reiner looks at Emily next.  "Emily, this is Lindworm.  He's a friend of mine, and a competent Blackthorn Dragon Tamer, despite what the current events might suggest.  Lindworm, this is Emily.  She's going to be helping me with evolving my pokemon, and then Yang and I will help you with evolving Sliggoo.  Can't have the rain washing away what I needed to set up for my pokemon's evolution."

Reiner heads to the circle he set up and indicates to Emily to come over.

"Alright, Emily, I need a picture of a dragon in the middle of this circle that I've drawn.  Doesn't have to be any Dragon in particular, but it is necessary for the evolution."

Wonder if Emily is confused at all by this?  And the same goes for Lindworm...

-------------------------------

"Hmmm...well, you're about to learn what a Nuclear type is soon enough.  Dangerous critters, those.  Good to see you're ready for some action, though.  The optimism should help a lot.  I'll be calling on you for help soon, alright?"

All that really needs to be said for now to Adam.  Now to just deal with that last little scene...

Arial sigh. "Did we not always ready to die? We gonna face a Super Mega Pokemon ready to crush us when we go there." Arial raise a eyebrow when Reiner tell about Miss Die for Me power. "Man, now that Cursed Arms is becoming more and more powerfull. The toll to use such power might be high if she can kill in one hit. I wouldnt be surprise if she is somehow immortal or semi-immortal. Or at least to not age."

When Reiner talk about a Male Froslass Arial simple wave his hand. "I will not ask about that, dont worry. I already see more bizarre things. Just tell me when you were ready to go to the Nuclear Factory.

Emily just slowly nods her head in response into your chest. That's all need to be said, really.

Sliggo jumped at your commented and rapidly slid off Lindworm to curl up into an embarrassed ball again, blushing and fretting to herself (Rough Translation: Nooooooooo, not again! Why can't she be left with her marvelous master to give him all the love he deserves without embarrassing themselves.....) , while he let out a grunt and gave you a nod of thanks/affirmation. Well, tried to, but given he was stuck to the floor, that proved to be an impossible feat for him, so he was forced to use verbal communication .

".....To answer on her behalf, yes, she's been fully informed, and is quite...….excited about it. Overjoyed, really.....*Shudders* . I'm perfectly fine with Evolving her after you Evolve your own Pokémon, especially since it appears the process involves extensive preparations, so by all means go ahead."


" *Glances over at the smol artist* Greetings, Miss Emily. Forgive me for not giving you a proper welcoming first impression, but as you can see I am a bit....inconvenienced at the moment. Regardless, its pleasure to meet you, and I hope we get along amiably well."

".....Not to sound rude, but could someone please liberate from the floor now? Water or Poison should be able to dissolve all the Goo that I am....generously coated in *Shudders*....eventually, and I rather not wait until it dries and struggle to get out of it myself...…"

Emily tried hard not to giggle at the poor Dragon Tamer's plight, but the switch from formal/gentlemanly tones of the first two response followed by pleading/aggrevied from the third just set her over the edge. Lindworm took the little miss' playful laughter with all the grace and humility he could muster, which given his current condition was a lot.

"*Giggles* It nice to meet you, Mr. Lindworm! Hope we can become good friend, like me and mister!"

Once she fully calmed down, she turns address your request a curious look, and then innocently ask: "Umm.....okay mister, but why? Eevees don't need artwork to Evolve from what I know, no matter how nice a gift it would be for them."

Adam looks a little cautious at the mention of Nucmons, but for the most part she shakes off the bad vibes and gives you a tilt of her body/head in response. No matter the challenge or obstacle, she'll be ready to meet it head on and mince it beneath her girth! …Except if its a Water based threat, of course. That would take a LOT of convincing on your part to get her within 30 ft of one!

Sliggo jumped at your commented and rapidly slid off Lindworm to curl up into an embarrassed ball again, blushing and fretting to herself (Rough Translation: Nooooooooo, not again! Why can't she be left with her marvelous master to give him all the love he deserves without embarrassing themselves.....) , while he let out a grunt and gave you a nod of thanks/affirmation.

"Yang, help him out with an Aqua Tail if you would."

Reiner chuckles at Emily's confusion.  "This one does.  Ridia isn't just any old Eevee, nor is her brother.  We're all in for a real treat, let me tell ya.  Got a few more things besides the picture and circle that I need to add, too.  This evolution is rather...complex, to say the least."

@Lord Windos
Arial did not forget and hand over the Razor Fang in Durendal pincers. "Now you all need to do is have this item with you for a time until the evolution triggers. You will feel the effects soon enough. Ready to become a strong looking Gliscor Durendal?"

The Ultimate Dragon gave you a nod of his head, before slithering over to Lindworm's side and began to use Aqua Tail with delicate, surgical precision to slowly free your fellow exile from the Goo without harming him. That's a remarkable amount of control for a Pokémon, let alone a Dragon, but he pulls off the procedure with utter ease. Yet another example of how superior he is to others!

While this is happening you explained the logic behind kindly asking for her talents to Emily, childish surprise flashing across her face, before it was replaced by an grin that she beamed right at you as she hopped up and down in excitement!

"That's AMAZING mister! I knew those Eevees were special like you, but not THIS much! Ridia going to Evolve into a really neat Eeveelution, isn't she?!"

She took a thoughtful pose, tongue sticking out and fist pressed against her chin, before a metaphorical light bulb went off in her head and she brightly smiled.

"I know a couple of Dragons I could draw really well in the circle right now: Yang or your Kingdra! Which would you like put in their, mister?"
