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

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

(In that case, there you go!~)


Somewhere far away from all chaos and issues concerning either Dragon Type Gym Leader or near-death due to a run-in with a Pokemon...

Original Post

Mina only shrugs at the question whether she's okay that Emily ask that...Mister first before telling her what's with that sunglasses and gloves. What 'Mister'? ...Mr. Mime, which she casually calls Mimy? Nope... Ah, she probably means that non-angelic Dragon Tamer. Reiner was his name, if Mina remembers correctly. Where was he actually? And in what relation does he stand to sweet Emily with that black accessoires? Uhm... Well,  guess that does not matter now. "Do ask him first if ya like, if you run across him. That's very 'kay for me. NOOOOW!" *dramatic raising from her place there in Lobby of Aurum Vex - Ribombee somewhat keeps snoozing on her head and will do for Arceus knows how long (yes, you can roll when she actually wakes up if you like, Windos)* "Let us go upstairs to Studio then. Momochi, back with you into your Ball, sweety, there's no room for you in the elevator, sadly." She withdraws the purple Luxelong into her respective Ball - a Luxury Ball - before joyfully leading Emily first to the elevator, then into it, then out of it and then into her studio once she unlocked and opened the door for Emily to step in first.

Inside, Emily would probably feel like in some sort of personal paradise. The WHOLE ROOM was filled with art supplies in every manner, almost all of them looked high quality, heavily used and expensive. Around half of them were gifts from Archie, the other half were Mina's personal and favoured supplies. Scattered across the whole room were pencils in all degrees of hardness that were available on the market, same with paint brushes in several sizes. Speaking of paintbrushes, Mina seemingly had the habit to expand her paintings over the canvas if she dabbles in expressionism, if taking a look at the wall opposite of the bed.




All across the walls sketches and motion studies were hung up, one of them showed how a Ninetales pounces at an invisible prey. Several canvas with half-finished, started and a few finished paintings were standing leaned against the wall or hung up to the wall on (for Mina before her transformation) eye level, most of the showed Kyubei and Archie in various stances; once noble, once lovingly hugging one another in a smile. The one Mina mentioned missing only shades is by far the biggest, it was an full-body portrait of Kyubei starring at the moon from a window. There were also various books neatly arranged on a shelf, most of them novels or about and Fairy Types. A taxidermied Jackdeary was standing beside the door, smiling mischievously.

All in all, the room was chaotic and somewhat typical for an artist like Mina, but not 'untidy'.

Mina let herself sink into the comfort of the biiig fluffy bed belonging to the room too, the same one she awoke from that nightmare-turning-into-a-dream hours ago. The bed has regained its fluffyness by now and there was a smell of fresh air in the room faintly mixing with the scent of oil colours, Mimy has probably cleaned and ventilated the room meanwhile. Oh, and refilled some white chocolate in that small fridge.

She doesn't say anything at first and lets Emily admire and explore the room a little if she likes, willing to answer questions shall there be any. Only afterwards she'll ask why she's taking a letter for a walk and who it is adressed to. (You can have Emily react to the room and the paintings of Archie+Kyubei and answer the question about that letter in one post, Windos, if you like.)

Navi, being an already heavy sleeper and knocked out from a sugar rush, hardly twitched when you suddenly rose and walked towards the Elevator, with Emily closely and eagerly walking right beside you with a joyful and excited expression. She's going to be talking with her idol in her personal Art Studeo, getting the opportunity to not only see all the beautiful pieces she working on/has already finished , but gain some Insight to your personal life as well! If she's lucky, after they chat with her/Reiner some more and she read the letter that horrible motherfucking greedy bastard , she'll become her apprentice and start her formal education as a professional artist!! Eeeeeeeeeeehh!!!!

A short ride and walk to your room/Studeo later, and both of you were there. To you, it was home sweet home and a place where you can truly express yourself however you wish, but to the little miss.....to her it was like she walked into her personal dream. "W-Wow. This...your room.....its so.....nice and pretty," the smol artist said as she got her first good look of the room, briefly stunned by all that was on display, before she began to wander/explore the room with a sense of trepedation and wonder. Sure, the room was a shinning example of an 'organized, tastful mess' , but that was only expect for an Artist like Mina, and more to the point Emily just found it all so lovely, beautiful , and amazing ! The art supplies on display further kindled her desires further improve her sketches/drawings to greater and more stunning levels - and just because she like to make quality artwork period - , but the sketches and painting...they took her breath away. Her breath hitched and her eyes with wide with awe as she saw the Moon Kyubi painting, and an.....indescribable and srunched up expression appeared whenever she gaze on pieces of art exhibiting Archie and his beloved fox, but it was accurate to say that by far and large she GREATLY enjoyed what you created.

Emily spent nearly half an hour exploring the room while you lazed around, eyes drinking in all the details and styles you employed in your various pieces of artwork and running her hands over your art supplies (stopping if you objected to this, of course!), and let out a startled but cute *Ep!* when she noticed the stuffed Jackderry but quickly calmed down thereafter. Death doesn't bother her at all at this point, after all. Once she had her fill, she wandered over carefully sat on the edge of your bed a bit away from you, so as not to crowd you out or invade your personal space. For a long time she was silent as she proceeded everything she has seen and refreshed her memory on what Reiner told her/Archie said about the letter, before she quietly began to speak.

"Miss Mina, thank you very much for inviting me to your room, and letting me see all the beautiful painting and pictures you have made. You know.....one day, I want to own a great big place like this, and have the best supplies to make the best and nicest art that will bring a smile to everyone's faces. I would draw the scenary around Kanto, potraits of people and Pokémon, pieces that represent nice or important memories of others and....myself. I want to learn to draw, sketch, and create art in new, different styles, take on subject material I haven't done before, or learn how to draw the stuff I already know in different ways.

"Most of all......I just want to be a better artist. I don't care if I make lots of Poke , or become world famous like you Ms. Mina or Mr. Burgh , though that would be nice! If I can improve my art, and it makes me and others happy to see them.....then that would be perfectly alright with me."

Emily goes silent for a little bit at that confession, before she starts up once more with some question about what she has seen/you. ".......Can you tell me about how you make your pictures, Ms. Mina? What styles and methods do you use to make others see what you see? Do you need a certain mindset to make art, or do just make it when you fell like it? Is paintings and drawings all you do, or do you work with other mediums? (...) What made you interest in being an artist in the first place, and how did you become so good , Miss? Was it a big, special event that inspired you, or did you always wanted to draw? .......Can you tell me more about these painting of that Ninetales and.....that guy she's with? "

(Emily is a skill, talented child artist, so you bet she has a lot of question for you! So much so that I don't want to overload you or myself by writing about the Letter , so I'll put that off until your next post!)

Mina let Emily explore the studio for the full half an hour as much as she wanted, and as it didn't look at all like she'd be up to 'accidently' snatch something from her art supplies - sometimes, Mina wondered about why one or two pencils got missing if she's not visiting this room for a day, she suspected mischievous wild Fairy Types or Ghost Types that live between the walls of the building - she allowed her to touch every art supply Emiliy wanted to touch. It was actually rather entertaining and amusing to watch her being so IMPRESSED by a room that was nothing too special for Mina, she had her silent fun watching the smol artist with the sunglasses and gloves while she herself loafed on the bed and stroked over the purple snout of Momochi, who has soon laid her head into her dear Master's lab.

When Emily has finished her selfguided tour and sat herself onto the edge of the bed, Mina gave her a smile that was expressing both appreciation and embarrassment over how much she seemed to value being here. Almost a little...too much, haha, but Mina decided to not mind that too much. That smile and her expression developed into a thoughtful one while she listened what Emily had to say to her, and how she seemingly felt comfortable enough to open her heart towards her concerning art...

"First of, ya don't need to adress me with 'Miss', Emiliy. 'Mina' is just fine, actually, but if ya want to keep that title for...respect", this faintly awed Mina, "then just do so~ Eh, and, well, nice to hear ya're enjoying this mess of a room so much... I can do what I want, but it always ends like this sooner or later, duh. But if I can find the things I'm looking for when I need 'em, it should be fiiiine!~"

When Emiliy opened up she...wanted to...be like...her, Mina faced her, blinked a few times in confusion, before delightfully chuckling and reaching out to ruffle Emily's hair for a little (if she lets her, that is). "My my, yar surely havin' plans as big as a Wishiwashi in School Form, have ya? Well, it's nice to see that you have such dreams, and you're still young, so GO AND CHASE 'EM WITH FORCE AND PITCHFORKS!!!" On that words, Mina determined raised her fist in the air, as if this was a personal rebellion and revolution and they two were on the front line, even Momochi raised her head as if she wanted to show that she's ready to fight for their belief. "Ehm , well, how I came to art is a long story... But to make it a bit short and not bore you with unecessary details, I've been drawing since being a preschooler, after I've realized that that weird colorful stuff called 'paint' and these sticks called 'pencils' can leave lines on white paper, it was not too hard to keep me occupied if given these materials. A keyevent was certainly when Olea, a pet-Snubbull at my parent's house, once accidently shredded a drawing of a meadow of flowers I made and showed to her... Hehe, I've certainly been sad over that believing that my art was not good enough, and eventually desired to get better. Now, Alola knows me as an excentric artistic Trial Captain with a faible for Fairies and not even a Trial until lately, hehe." She rubbed the back of her head in embarassment over this status of her in her home region.

"Oh, and that drawing of Kyubei starring at the moon from the window has been inspired by me once seeing an wild Alola-Ninetails casting a shining Moonblast at night at another wild Pokemon that has likely entered its territory, chasing it off that way and then returning to watch and howl at the full moon. Ya know, where I'm comin' from, Ninetails are not like Kyubei at all - they're white, Fairy and Ice Type, and were believed to be incarnations of female deities. Cool, isn't it? Eh, for how I create art and stuff... Well then, how about you hand me that sketchbook over there - yes, exactly that one, thank you - and summon one of your own Pokemon?"
