[Meta thread] Lord Windos' PokeRole Adventure : Celadon City Vandels

[Lord Windos]

Hmmm...those Z-crystals are also tempting...but at the same time, I'm not sure Reiner necessarily knows how to use them right now...he's certainly heard of them, but...well, would he have had the opportunity to see/learn the various dances associated with each type?  But then again, Reiner's got Mew to help him out with that, I guess, so it's probably a moot point...

I'd also be worried about the lack of a Z-ring, but then I remembered the Z-ring also functions as a Mega Bracelet (because friendship certainly solves every problem, right?), so it probably works the other way around, too...

Reiner would logically know what they are and what they are used for, as being a fairly high ranked and competent/intelligent Grunt in Team Rocket would have given him at least cursory knowledge of these Items. He might have even been tasked with stealing them from some trainers at some point, and was able to learn more about them that way and/or when Weavile accidently blundered in his Pickpocket check and they got a first hand demostrations....

That, and with Petrel, the Executive known for being in 'The Know' about almost EVERYTHING, due being an accomplished inflitrator/information gatherer, as his best friend, he could have solicited more information about Z-Crystals at anytime. Whether or not because they got curious enough to ask what the heck were so special about them, or wanting to further educate himself after Weavile got Z-Moved into oblivion. Come up with a decent enough backstory reason as to HOW he first learned more about them, and I'll say you know at the Poison, Dark, Ice, and Dragon Dances (As those are the three Pokémon types you originally started out with). Mew can teach you the rest/teach you them period, but given that they are not going to be in the best state of mind when they realize they've under gone a Transformative Thursday, that would have to be at a later date.

Oh, and yes, Key Stone act as catalysts for Z-Crystals as well, mate! Much simplier to do it this way, rather that require everyone to lug around/find a Z Bracelt to use them as well!
