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

[Dragonstrike]

First off, before the SUV and ambulances arrive, Reiner has to say this to Alexandria: "...if you need a place to stay for a short time while you figure out what to do from here, you're more than welcome to tag along to my place at one of the fancier hotels."

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

At the moment, Reiner's attitude towards things he doesn't care about particularly much is cold, calm, and collected as Ice, only compounded by the semi-artificial calm that resulted from handling TPK for some reason.  If you didn't know he was a Dragon Tamer by heritage and practice, you'd think he was from Pryce's gym in Mahogany.  (Ironically.  Maybe in some alternate universe, he actually did join Pryce's gym to spite the Blackthorn Elders that way...)

He recalls Mew into her Great Ball and impatiently taps his foot.  "Well, pardon the interruption, but are you going to come back to the AV with us or not, then?  The convoy's going to arrive any minute now, and I'd rather not stick around any longer than necessary.  If we don't split soon, we're going to be standing targets for the League."  (@Spiritmon)



Petrel's message goes unanswered as well.  [even as much as it pains me to read that OOC, Reiner's got decent reason to not respond]  Petrel will probably get over it eventually and figure out what happened.  Probably.  Maybe.

Arial wave his hand. "I going, I going. Let me just say another message before." Arial grab the Walkie Talkie and talk with his bug girlfriend. "Cat calling Ladybug. Respond Ladybug. We have success in getting out of the factory. We are in the warehouse. Go to the AV Hotel as much quick possible...there is a few things I must discuss with you."

With that done, he follow Reiner and the others, but he still wait for Sekmet reaction and Riza answear in the Walkie Talkie.

Arial gives a huge hug back in Gaspar. "I happy to see you too Gaspar. To see all of you." He also give Sekmet a big hug, until he notices Alexandria and Lucario tension and fear. He knew what it was. "Ah! Sorry, sometimes I forget there is a lot of people who fear Nucmons. Alexandria, Lucario meet Sekmet. Yes, she is indeed a Nuclear Pokemon, but she is a stable one and under my command. She never corrupt any pokemon under my care. She is also a sweet thing and loveable pokemon." Arial to prove it give Sekmet a nuzzle in her head and she did some "bzzt" more or less like a cat who like receive care. "See? No all Nuclear Pokemon is bad."

After this mometum Arial look in the distance to the now distroyed NRF. He look in Sekmet eyes. They have complete the mission, but for what cost? There was some inocent nucmons there. Nucmons like Sekmet. He pat the head of his Bug Queen and with teary eyes he tell the bad news to her. "Sister....I have some bad news to you....The Nuclear Factory was...complete destroyed. Along with many Nucmons inside. Reiner have order Mew to explode the entire facility with her Z-move...I...really sorry." He hug Sekmet. Maybe those Nucmons give Arial a lot of problems...but they didnt deseve to die like that. If there is good nuclear Pokemon like Sekmet, maybe there was chance for them to survive. "This is to much. My job was a bodyguard...end today."

Your mimic brother purrs in contentment and relief as you hug him back, with him bumping his head against your chest as a further display of affection. That's true love right there, forged through years of strife and hardship.

To your surprise, Sekmet actually stands up on her hind legs and returns your hug, enveloping you in her warm, thankfully non-radioactive forlimbs with a joyful *ZzzzzZZzsst!*, and almost topling you over in the process! Looks likes she's learned a new trick from you, eh?

Unfortunately Alexandria's + Lucario's panic over the nuclear abomination forces you two to end that hug, but your explanation and subsequent demonstration helps calm them down.....somewhat and to varying degrees. Lucario actually stands down and gives you a nod of their head, as they could plainly see the strong bond between you and her, but she's still warily keeping an eye the queen of nuclear green in case anything to go wrong. You don't go month of surviving in the NRF without developing a healthy sense of caution around Nucmons, you know!

The bullish woman, meanwhile, manages to calm herself to the point that her heart is no longer racing at Inflagetah speeds, but she's still very much afraid of Sekmet, and is not getting anywhere near you and her. Despite that, she still has the courage to speak out about them, her voice ladened with undisguised fright and disbelief.

"W-why do you have a-a-a a Xenoqueen? A-a-nd how is its so f-friendly? The...The only place th-they would be f-found is d-d-deep within the Western Sector of the NRF, b-but you.....you couldn't h-have gotten their b-before f-finding me! How?

Moving on, Sekmet is not really all that torn up about the NRF getting nucked and almost all her fellow Nuclear Pokemon biting it too. Sure, she's a bit sad about it, but she knows better than anyone that a Nuclear Zone is a harsh, unforgiving to all but the most fit. An explosion glassing the whole place and eradicating all life is just an extension of that in her opinion, so overall she's fairly non-plussed about it.

The former researcher reacts with surprise at your offer and continued generosity, figiting around a bit as she mulled things over, before she let out a *Sigh....* and nodded back, looking very exhaust and beat down from the events as of late.

".....That is nice of you, sir. I accept. Arceas knows I don't have any other place to go right now without stirring up a fuss. No doubt everyone I know thinks I'm........*Figits some more, then quietly moves on* ....Even if I did, a posh hotel can hardly be beat to.....relax and.....recover the rest of my wits. Thank you, Reiner....."

(FYI, if Reiner actually did become one of Pryce's Gym Acolyates, he'd rise through the ranks so quickly and actually end up becoming the Gym Leader of Mahogany Town once the old grouch retired, and eventually even take Loreli's place as the Ice type Elite Four Member, equal in power to only Lance himself. He'd also be quick to rub all that in the Elder's face, which would infuriate them to no end, especially since they couldn't do ANYTHING about it. The more you know!)

Arial has a good reason not to join up with Reiner atm, or have you forgotten our meeting already, little jester? I'll give you a moment to reconsider whether or not you wish to meet with me @Spiritmon, or not if you're just peachy with dear Riza remaining her lovable, insectile, and blood drinking self! Heheheheh.....

For Dragonstrike, it should be noted that Reiner can no longer hear me now, unless he wishes speak with me. Just letting you know, so you don't think I'm breaking my word~


.....Regardless, everyone that wants to go to the AV arrives their within half an hour with no complications, and Reiner + Alexandria head up to his penthouse suite. As always is the case, Mr. Mime was waiting outside its entrance to greet you with a bow, looking calm, refined, and reposed as per usual.

"Welcome back, Mr. Arendse, and greetings Ms.. Has your business gone well today? Anything I can get you or her, sir, or....."

He trails off at this point, giving an aside glance to Alexandria before looking back at you, who is openly staring at talking mime. She's been through a lot this day, but a talking Pokemon was just yet another thing that was a bit too much for her right now.

Ready to have our meeting god of darkness. Lets end this bargain once and for all. And for Arial have the end of his journey.

@Spiritmon

Reiner tosses Arial the Nuclear Ball containing Geigeroach before he splits off from everyone else to meet with Riza.  "Let's say I traded her for that Beedrill earlier.  I'm sure Riza will be able to make better use of that bug than I'll be able to at this point.  Just make sure she doesn't spread that or any of the bug's more dangerous traits around, kapeish?  And I better not hear about any Gyarados rampaging through the city streets."

-----------

How about Lindworm?  Reiner would prefer if he returns to the AV with everyone else as well since there may be things to discuss with him, and Reiner at least wants the gear Lindworm's borrowed back, but what does he want to do?

-----------

"Don't worry about the Mr. Mime's ability to talk, Alexandria.  This place is really high class, and they spare no expense for their paying customers.  He's actually a really, really efficient butler.  If you need anything, just ask him."

Anyways..."I don't really need anything at the immediate moment, Mr. Mime.  Other than to talk with my guest.  How ironic that she's waiting on me for once...I take it she and Kyubi have been talking in the meantime? Oh, and as for my business...let's just say it ended sooner than I initially expected."

How about Lindworm?  Reiner would prefer if he returns to the AV with everyone else as well since there may be things to discuss with him, and Reiner at least wants the gear Lindworm's borrowed back, but what does he want to do?

-----------

"Don't worry about the Mr. Mime's ability to talk, Alexandria.  This place is really high class, and they spare no expense for their paying customers.  He's actually a really, really efficient butler.  If you need anything, just ask him."

Anyways..."I don't really need anything at the immediate moment, Mr. Mime.  Other than to talk with my guest.  How ironic that she's waiting on me for once...I take it she and Kyubi have been talking in the meantime?  Oh, and as for my business...let's just say it ended sooner than I initially expected."

Alexandria was skeptical and still in disbelief at both your explanations (particularly Arial's) for how the madman come to own the most adorable and docile Nuclear Pokemon this side of the world, but eventually she just wildly shook her head and threw up her hands into the air, exclaiming "You know what!? I don't fucking care anymore! Just...... just keep her away from me, and you can cuddle with her all you wants to! Urrrrrgh......"

Well, someone's nearing the breaking point of their tolerance. Or the Taruos in her is acting up again. Either way, the stress of everything is starting to becoming overbearing for the former researcher, so get her to the AV quickly!

It takes you shaking him out of his prayers, but you do manage to get him to come along with everyone else to the AV and your Penthouse suite. He's notably quiet and reserved post that, but your fellow exile seems alright enough to your senses.

The minotauress snapped out of her daze, gave you and then Mr. Mime an aside glance, before slowly nodding.

".....Okay. *Turns to Mr. Mime* Can you.....prepare some dinner and a bed for me? I.....in need of both right now, after.......everything today. Oh, and a bottle of white wine. I don't usually indulge in alcoholic beverages, but frankly I need a few stiff drinks to.....de-stress."

Mr. Mime: "*Bows* It will prepare all that for you at the soonest convenience, Ms.. Would you like to dine in the foyer, or in your own room?"

"My own room, please. I've had.....enough company for one day."

Mr. Mime: "*Nods* Understood. Would you like to be Teleported straight to your room, then?"

"......*Looks over to Reiner for permission, before back to the butler* .....Yes, if you could and have one available now. Thank you, Mr. Mime.

Mr. Mime: "*Shakes head graciously* No need to thank me, Ms.. As Mr. Arendse put it, I'm a butler of the Aurum Vexillium, and it my most esteemed duty to serve all its guests. Now, if you would, take my hand, and you'll be in your room in a jiffy."

Alexandria hesitate for a split second after the psychic butler offered his hand, but she took it easily , and in an instant she and him were gone. A few seconds later, Mr. Mime re-materialized in front of you, and addressed your previous comments without missing a beat.

"Very well. *Nods* Yes, Ms. Sterling and your guest have been chatting for quite some time now. About what exactly I do not know, as Ms. Sterling requested privacy for the two of them once your guest gave her name, but from what I've overhead, their discussions appear to be centered around you, Mr. Arendse. Would you like to join them now? Or speak with your guest privately yourself, at your own leisure?"

Reiner sighs and rubs his temples.  "...not surprising, given recent events...I'll just join them now.  Best get this over with..."

Arial changes his mind. "In fact Reiner/@Dragonstrike, I have a meeting to attend to. You can go foward. I have a meeting to go." Arial also send a message to Riza meet him in the Warehouse.

Ready to have our meeting god of darkness. Lets end this bargain once and for all. And for Arial have the end of his journey.

"Talking about cute and dangerous bugs, you can go foward. I have to meet my bae entusiast of bugs. She is a bit timid around people, so I may encounter you guys later. Need to have a conversation with her."

After everyone has cleared out of the warehouse, you radioed Riza your location (and presumably tell her you're alright), and you almost immediately received what sounded like excited and relieved chitters from her, until it cuts off. Somebody's happy to hear from you, eh? 

Gaspar is less pleased than you are about meeting with the reformed Vampire, though, letting out a grumpy *Hisss!* at the radio before recalling himself. Yeap, they still hate and fear her.

It took around 30 minutes after Reiner and co. left, but the Bug Lady eventually arrived in spectacular. One minute your leaning against a wall kicking your feet around, and the next *WHAM!* You're pinned from the side and lifted off the ground in a near bone breaking hug by Riza, with hardly any room for you to wiggle! Her head was shroaded by her cloak, but you didn't need to see her face to tell she was extremely and positively overjoyed to see you.

{Arial! Arial! You Are Okay! In One Piece! Not Sick With Radiation! Okay!! So Happy! So Relieved! You Are Okay!! Yay YAY!!!"}

You can understand her again now too! It appears you need to be in person in order for your mind to translate her chitters to English, but that probably doesn't matter to you right now. At least, not compared to the very real threat of your buggy girlfriend from squeezing the life out of you due to sheer exuberance!

Arial smile and chuckle a bit with Gaspar reaction. "I know what you mean brother. But Riza its not exatcly a bad person when you know her better. She is just like us, someone who lost the past and just try to survive in this world. Also, you and I we not in position to judge someone in killing right? We already have our body counting no?"

Arial was indeed happy to see Riza again. But he couldnt show his affection towards her with his air getting out of him. "I also happy to see you too...But could please release a bit me Riza?!" Arial faces changes colors from the squeezing. "I may have survive the Nuclear onslaugh, but you know I cant survive a hug from my cute bug girlfriend. Who in this case is you!"
