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

[Lord Windos]

Arial gives Riza a nod of his head. "Don't need to thank me Riz. I just do what I think was right."

*Sip*

Arial feel his strength returning and heard Mew words about Riza actions, then he did his best to make her feel less ashamed.

"Riza, you indeed make bad things, but that doesn't mean you can't make things be right now. Today is the first day of your new life. Things is difficult now, but now you have choice now. You can make your own decisions, not anymore based in your instincts, but based in your own soul. There is much people in this room you need repented, but with your efforts and help, you can pay of your past mistakes and forgive yourself."

"Also don't forget you not alone in that journey. I kinda responsible for you now, so I can do my best to help you, so don't worry. Or perhaps worry a bit because I bit crazy, haha. And one thing..." Arial was trying to hold a chuckle in direction of Mew. "Grandmother? Pffft! When you think for a second, it makes sense. A-anyway. Anyone deserve a chance to mends things Riza. Seconds chance can come, but you need work a lot. Oh and a good new is Mina Lab is back alive too. Mew bring her back, and she is resting now if this makes you feel better. But anyway, Riza Bete (this is your true name) welcome to Reiner/Arial team! Your powers will be great help." Arial then gives Riza the biggest and mostly sincerely smile he ever made. Hopefully this will make her feel better.

Apparently you either know exactly what to say to comfort them, or your cheerful optimism for their future is that infectious , as Riza stops trying (and failing) to hide in Yang's coils to give you a clearly nervous yet still very much joyful smile.

{Yes.... Do Better Things Now. Me Free. Can Survive, No Hunt Women. Be...Kind? Helpful? Yes, Yes! Will Be Good. Try!}

The former serial killer bobs their head at you being her 'handler' , as that arrangement perfectly suited her needs/desires , and only tilted her head curiously when you commented on Grandmother. Grandmother was grandmother, so Grandmother they call Mew!

....

'Yeah, Mina's alive...and so is her understandably, currently overprotective, shiny luck dragon.  And her signature pokemon is too.  Neither of which are going to be very pleased with you, Riza.  And Mina herself probably won't be either when she wakes up.' 

'Arial, you're the one taking responsibility for Riza, so it's primarily your job to both keep her out of trouble and keep everyone from killing her.  I can't guarantee Reiner and I are going to help you with that any more than we already have.'

'Riza, as for your pokemon...well, behave yourself, prove we don't have to worry about you backstabbing us, and Reiner will probably give them back to you.  He won't harm them any further for now.  As for 'big bug'...that one might be the exception.  For one, it's only technically not dead...seems it's near impossible to kill, but it's not invulnerable.  It might not be dead, but it is severely weakened after almost dying.  It'll recover, but it's going to be a looonnng time before it's back at full strength.'

'In addition, Reiner's recaptured it in one of his pokeballs due to...safety concerns.  And for some reason, it's a little bit loyal to him.  Considering the resources he's put in to neutralizing that potential threat, that might be the one bug of yours he keeps.  Of course, if you could compensate him sufficiently for the trouble caused, and we're certain there wouldn't be any danger from returning such a brutally strong pokemon, maybe he could be convinced to give that one back too...maybe.  Hacked pokeballs aren't easy to come by, ya know.'

.....but your and 'Mew's' comment about her latest victim caused her to badly startle, shiftly jerking back in surprise and necessitating the regal serpent to tighten their grip on the bug women to keep her from escaping.

{Female.....Mina Alive? Alive?! Strange,  Weird!! People Die When Killed! Yes? Then Why? Why She Live? Confused, Confused.....}

Both Arial and 'Mew/Reiner' could feel Riza reeling from the shock that Mina Mab somehow survived, as they remember tearing out their throat and gulping down half her blood! Did they somehow mess up so much tonight that she ended up breaking the fundenmental forces that govern life and death? Needless to say, they were quite confused now....

Of course, what didn't help matters any was the bodyswapped Rocket was not only telling her that 'Reiner' has her Pokémon/Hive , but that 'Big Bug' was apparently alive despite having their heart? gored out by Scary Metal Dinosaur , so much so that she started to thrash around in panic born of concern (Which Arial/'Reiner'/'Mew'  could DINSTINCTLY feel and understand, as well as why she's reacting like that) . Yang grunted in strain from their struggles and started to constrict even more to keep them safely contained; any more and he'd end up starting to deal damage to them, which would only add to the problem, not alievate it!

{Big Bug Alive?! Have Insectspector, Cuddle Bug , Dragonfigher, Buzz Burner?! }

{Not Yours! Not Yours! Give, Give! Need Know If Scared, Hurt, Ok ! }

{Me....Me Care! Love, Protect Hive! They....Friends!  Only ones, Until Arial....!}

{Please....GIVE BACK.....! No....No Want Lose Friends......Family.....}

{B-Bargin? ....K-Keep B-Big Bug, G-Give Hive Back! Me Tell Him Not Hunt You! Me No Ever Hurt You! Promise, Promise!!!}

{Big Bug....Not Mine. Good Friend. Close. We Help Each Other. But Big Bug Liked Freedom. Never Caught...}

{If Like You.....No Complain. Big Bug Decision.}

{.......P-Please, Give Family Back......}

As for everyone else in the room ('Looker', Kyubi, Mr. Mime and Your Pokémon, Since Emily and Angelica are down stairs) , they mostly got the gist what was going on from what you (Arial) was saying (Since I presume 'Mew was keeping telepathy only between them, Reiner, Arial, and Riza for now).

The kitsune looked a bit miffed/consterned that her Master's would be killer was going to be end up being spared after the hell she put everyone through, but let out a tired sigh and accepted it in the end. If her Master said that bloody serial killer stays unsmooshed and unscorched, so be it. She will faithfully follow his will in all matters and decisions, and obey all his order/decrees without hesitation! Still.....judging by the stern glare she was now affixing you, that doesn't mean she has let you off the hook yet. Far from; fail to keep Riza under control and not a problem, and both of you will likely end up bonfire kindling before too long!

Reiner's best friend in disguise, on the other hand.....he has a calculating, pensive, yet fairly relaxed expression, his eyes currently closed as he processed everything he's heard from you and could reasonably infer what his friend 'said' (He knows you well enough that you'd play carrot and stick with Riza's Pokémon, and that you've been pressuring her to behave as well). Neither you, 'Reiner', or 'Mew' could tell what he was thinking, as he was currently shielding his mind from pesky psychic snoopers, just like how he helped teach Reiner a long time ago. Perhaps he'll speak his piece once its clear that Riza's interrogation is over.....

Mr. Mime didn't seem to care all that much as to what was happening, appearing the very essense of the unflappable butler, ready to serve their master's whim at a moment's notice.

Shiny Gligar, unlike everyone else in the room, seemed vaguely intrigued by the Bug Metahuman all Wrapped up by Sparkling Dragon, though he was smart enough to keep away from her for the time being.

Your (Arial's) Pokémon had a varied  reactions. Gaspar (Still in Kybui's lap) quite obviously didn't like her ONE BIT, as their hackle were fully raised and they let out a faint terrified *Hiiiissss!* that was very remeniscant of Mega Arbok own cry, ready to bolt at a moment's notice should she get free.

Baltazar was guard for the most part, hovering in place with arms crossed and staring at his assaulter, ready to react at a moment's notice should she try anything funny. Melchoir acted quite similarly, only instead the paced around in place, giving a right nasty glare at the Vampire. Asura just gave a dismissive huff and crossed their arms at the nerdowell that decided to plague the streets of Celadon with literally bloody murder. He wasn't happy with her, but since it seems judgement has already been passed and he didn't share a strong bond/concern for Arial, it was less so than most others in the room.

Sekmet didn't really care for her Master's kidnapper either, but unlike the rest of Arial's Pokémon she seemed to.....sympathize with the as well, if that uncertain look in her eyes? Maybe because of Riza's nature charms with Bug/Bug Like types, or because both of them were considered monsters in many people's eyes? Either way, the queen of nuclear green has the least negative reaction towards your new Companion out of your Pokémon.
