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

[Lord Windos]

(The Merchant makes a quick trip back to Arial while Reiner is 'meeting' with Archie!)

The Merchant gave a rather flat, unamused look at Arial from the few words they said, and in a fraction of a second was being half straggled as he was pinned against one of the ally walls, held straight up by the neck as they had a rather bored look in their eyes. You could not move anything at all, as they had found a nerve cluster with their grip and more or less paralyzed you from the neck down.

"You know what," they said, their voice toneless, slightly questioning voice , "If their is one type of customer I dislike, its a misanthrope that doubt my integrity as a businessman and proveyor of goods. I'll offer you a bit of advice, on the house this time: Human are better than Pokémon the vast majority of the time. They were but beasts in the wild before we human, with our technology, organized infrastructure, an actual intelligent, clever work leased them to our will and purpose, and put their power for a much better use: ours. Together, humans and Pokémon achieved so many things that neither could have done alone, but it came at a cost for most. It made us weak, dependent on their power, instead of our own innovative spirit, our indominable strength, and good old imagination. So I bucked the trend and became strong without Pokemon, started a good, reliable living making others empowered like me."

"Its not clean,pretty, very noble, or hardly legal, but I consider it good business. So I dislike it when someone calls me not only dishonest, but also tarnishes the good name of our race. Let me remind you of something: you came to ME because you needed something, not because you were window shopping or on a whim. Perhaps it would be a wise idea to show some respect or tact when dealing for me, for I'm the only chance you got of controlling that infamous Nuclear Pokémon of yours and not ending up a glowing charred corpse in the process, or turning Celadon into a irraditaded hotspot. So here is what I'm going to do: I'm going to take your money, give you these berries you need, and tell you to get the hell out and never show your face to me again. Otherwise, I have a few slugs of buckshot with your name stamped on them. Do you understand me, Arial Copycat?"
