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

[Dragonstrike]

Your psychic partner in crime is quick to ping you back in response to this latest batch of Ponyta shit that has landed straight in her lap, though she's surprisingly not to incessed by the new. Instead, she's 'sounds' rather wearily resigned and faintly upset, as if she expects and has accepted the fact that being with you was going to cause her no end of migrains; you are not sure if this is better or worse than her divine wrath, but at least she isn't sharing her pain with you again!

'Greeeeeeaaaat, two more things that I loathe with all my being are in Celadon City, and causing you and I no end of conniptions. Haaaaa....at least you have plenty of friends and associate to mitigate how Arceas awful things are staking up against you AGAIN. Emily is also ready to see what we hope is her future teacher, and is currently finishing up adding color and smoothing over her latest picture. Hopefully that meeting turns out smashing, or I don't know what the heck I'll do in response. Haaaa ....Part of the reason I'm getting so sick and angry at all of this terrible stuff of nightmares happening is not just because its giving me pause for a heart attack, but its screwing with YOUR life as well. Reiner...you are the closet I have been with a just about anyone for thousands of years, and I don't want all MY worst problems and convulted relationship with the other Legendaries dragging you down and ruin you. You are my friend- if you can even describe the deep, strong bond we share with that term - , so all the terrible stuff and the near meltdowns it has cause me was in part caused by the fact that you had or will have to deal with those problems at some point, and that frighten and frustrates me to no end! I can't even do anything to help you because I burned myself out and the sheer mind boggling amount of attention I would draw to you... I just...I just wish we didn't have to deal with all this nonsense, Reiner.... No Cursed Arms complicating EVERYTHING, no vengeful family member or buggy murders, doing their best to destroy you utterly, no Nuclear Pokémon corrupting everything they touch and forcing my hand. I just want us to have a good time together, having fun and getting up to mischief and enjoying wonderful moments together, all without some specter of doom hanging over us. Is that so hard to ask...'

She trailed off as she voiced her wish, and you could hear the faint sound of sniffling over the connection, and an immense amount of sadness and futility that is filling her mind/SOUL right now. Oh dear, she's crying over all this now, isn't she? *Hears the mental sound of repressed wailing* Yes, yes she is...

Oh dear...Reiner needs to focus REALLY hard to keep himself together...this was starting to affect him too...regardless of whether its direct or indirect...

'Mew...it'll be okay.  You know why?  Because I have you as a crutch here.  Were it not for you, I don't think I'd be able to pull through this week.  Together, we'll make it through this.  I don't expect life is going to stop throwing these situations at me, but I'm going to handle it and prove everyone's perceptions of me are wrong.  Mitchell, Clair, the Elders, Giovanni...I'm going to one-up all their expectations, and you're the proof and support I need to do it.  Forget showing physical strength.  I'll show them the strength of my resolve.  The resolve of a dragon.  Lance was Blackthorn's first mistake, and I'll show them that wasn't just a fluke.  That the old system really isn't working very well any more, and a change is needed.  They drove away a Dragon Tamer who became a member of the Elite 4, and now they've driven away one that befriended the mythical Mew and is about to throw away everything he worked for just to prove them wrong.  We WILL get through this, Mew, and everything that comes after leaving Team Rocket as well.  Tonight and tomorrow, you and I will show those naysayers that I'm not who they think I am.  And come Saturday, we'll show them all that this book can't be judged by the pages that have already been written.  The good times will come, but we're going to have to work for it.  I'm certain we'll make it, though.  I'm determined to.  I haven't slogged through these last four years (and this week) to resign myself to pessimistic views now, and I don't think you should either. We'll get through it all, no matter what happens, alright?'
