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

[Dragonstrike]

(Alright, Reiner, feeling practiced enough?)

'Hehehe.  Hope you're ready, Dragonstrike, cuz I think I'm gonna surprise ya!'

(We shall see.  Well then, what pokemon shall you be facing me as?  I've got my trusty Scizor right here, and he's eager for a battle.)

'Well, let's see how he likes facing a Weavile.  Being Mew is great and all, but I've been trying out a bit of Weavile when that fighting style got a bit bland.'

(Getting stale or not, that's the fighting style you'll have to get used to, so I recommend you continue practicing later.  Well then, let's pick our supports next...I think I'll go with...Espeon and Umbreon.  How about you?)

'Reshiram and Cresselia for me.  Let's see how ya handle that.'

(Very well.  And for our battle arena, let's keep it to the simple Ferrum Stadium for now.  Alrght, whenever you're ready.)

'Heh.  I've been practicing for this.  I hope you're the one who's ready!'

(We shall see, Child of Dragons.  Now then...begin!)

And the battle begins...

...and quickly ends.  Weavile managed to land one or two blows quick combos on Scizor, but Scizor's powerful strikes were more assertive.  Neither managed to call for a support pokemon.

'Gah!  Yeesh, that Scizor is tough!'

(I've been warming him up.  Been a little outta practice.  Now then, on to Round two!)

Round 2!  Fight!

'Let's see how you like...THIS!'

Weavile starts glowing with rainbow colored energy!

(Oh my, that was a quick Synergy Burst...)

It's quick to wear off, though...

(And now...it's MY turn!)

Scizor calls in Umbreon, Mega Evolves with hi own Synergy Burst, and then proceeds to brutalize Weavile with his Burst Attack!

Match Over!

'Gah!  Ow...ay yi yi...that hurt...'

(And that wasn't even with a type advantage factored in.)

'I think that's enough of Pokken for now...'

(Thought you'd be able to best me on your first go after over a day of practice?)

'Was hoping I'd be able to...'

(Heh.  Well, I'm afraid being a person of great importance doesn't exempt you from being put in your place by those stronger than you.  Scizor can be rather...ruthless in his assault.  Very aggressive.  Much like Buzzwole was, in a way.  Best be careful against opponents like that in the future.)

'No kidding...yeesh...I didn't even get to use my Burst Attack...interestingly, they're a bit like Z-moves in a way, aren't they?'

(In a way.  Not quite the same, but there are similarities.  Speaking of which...Windos has given me permission to give you a little bit of knowledge concerning that topic.)

'Hm?'

(I'm sure you're aware of how powerful Mew's Burst Attack is in Pokken, correct?)

'Yeah...'

(Well, what if I told you Mew has an even STRONGER technique?)

'That seems unlikely.'

(She's the Progenitor, the Origin of All Life.  Why wouldn't she have something of vast power?)

'...fair point, I guess...'

(Her ultimate, signature move is quite impressive.  In fact, it's a Z-move.  It is called: Genesis Supernova.)

'That sounds...excessive.'

(It is a little excessive.  She gathers the psychic energy in the surrounding life around her, wraps it into a ball of pure destruction, and then throws it at her intended target.  The results...aren't pretty.  It is one of the most powerful moves in existence.  Unless the target is exceedingly powerful or part Dark type, the move instantly obliterates them.)

'Yikes.'

(Oh, and it also demolishes absolutely everything in the surrounding area.  At minimum.  At most, it could wipe an entire city off the map completely.  Oh and the demolished area also becomes covered in a Psychic Terrain for an unspecified amount of time, so even if her target does survive, then they have to deal with Mew's souped up Psychic attacks and have no chance of surprising her with speed.)

'...oh my...'

(Yes, and before she was depowered, she didn't need a Z-crystal nor a trainer to use it.)

'...'

(Now that she is weaker, though, well, she needs a very, very specific set of requirements to use the move in the first place.)

'I suppose that's a good thing...what...are those requirements, though, just out of curiosity?'

(First, she has to know Psychic.  That's fairly straightforward.  Next, she needs a Trainer she has a strong bond with to perform the Psychic Z-dance.  And finally, she needs to be holding a Z-crystal.)

'Psychium Z, right?'

(No, this one's special.  A few pokemon have very, very special Z-moves that are exclusive to their species.  And to use them, they need to know both a specific move and be holding a Z-crystal unique to their kind.  In this case, Mew would need to be holding a Mewnium Z.)

'Okay...and I imagine that's incredibly rare, right?'

(Yes and no.  You could actually get one right now if you wanted.)

'...wait, what?'

(Mew has the power to turn any Z-crystal into a Mewnium Z at the expense of a little of her willpower.  So, you, being Mew, could do so with one of Petrel's Z-crystals as soon as Windos returns.  You can also revert the Z-crystal to its original state if you decide you need that more than the Mewnium Z.)

'...this sounds like you're purposely trying to tempt me into trying to use this Z-move...'

(Well, the other catch is that Mew has to actually agree with you that using the move is a good course of action.  Z-moves don't work if the trainer and pokemon don't work together to use the move.  Any small disagreement on the matter, and the Z-power just won't kick in.)

'...so there's no point in getting a Mewnium Z if Mew doesn't want to ue her strongest move?'

(Correct.  So there should be no need to worry about causing an unneeded amount of devastation.  Though, if I remember correctly, there is a rather large part of the city currently being overrun by Nuclear pokemon...if things started to get a little out of hand, that kind of power might be necessary to clean up the mess...)

'...don't give Mew any ideas about that, please...'

(Haha.  I jest, I jest.  Mostly.  It is but one potential solution to that issue.  A fairly straightforward, destructive, and obvious one, but a solution nonetheless.)

'...*sigh*...well, guess I better get back to brainstorming, then...'

(I'll leave you to it.  I enjoyed our bout, Child of Dragons.  Maybe we'll be a more even match the next time.  Until next time.)
