Weavile

"...how in Mew's name did you learn about...?  ...*sigh*..."

...

"...well, I WOULD say we have to speak to Mew immediately about that, but...well, you saw what kind of state she was in..."

...

Reiner has to sit down for a moment.  Dead calm or no, he's somewhat tired after such a looonnnggg day (though not as long as Thursday was, thankfully)...

"...and here I thought this was going to be a simple day...relatively speaking, anyways..."

Erika

(...) 

"Should definitely suffice for picking up some proper gear and supplies for the trek.  Thankfully, most dragons aren't super bothered by radiation if I have to use them, but it pays to be cautious."

The description of Adamantine the Ferrothorn certainly warrants quite a surprised reaction.

"Well, isn't that fantastically useful for what's ahead...coupled with the funds and the clearance, that should definitely help a ton.  Alright, you have yourself a deal, Erika."

(...)

...well, yet another thing to ponder later, it seems...better stop lingering and grab what he needs...make a show of rummaging around in his bag looking for the items and pokeballs...that Miracle Seed and Light Ball the 'shrooms were holdin' are staying with him, though!

"Alright, on the table they go.  Just need to see that Ferrothorn and the cash."

Two golden Balm Mushrooms and two pokeballs containing mushroom pokemon.  Whoo, this is quite the doozy of a trade.

"One more tip, by the way.  Wasson was growing his mushrooms in the Safari Zone, so if you want to make your own personal patch, you'll have to set up some conditions similar to the ones found there.  Oh, and I just want to reiterate that you'll probably want to save those mushrooms for later, seeing as you're supposed to meet a representative of Team Rocket soon."

With Weavile!

If Mew were not heavily traumatized by what she had recently done, she would have taken playful/annoyed offense in you using her name in a deific capacity, and probably nagged your ear off about it. That not being the case, all the pink panther did was slightly twitch as she absentmindedly floated in the air, her vacant gaze showing now lights were on up in her noggin.....

For his part, Weavile was just as confused as you about his sudden awareness of one of THE core mechanic that underlay the universe he lived in (among other things, like that nagging sensation someone was spying on him......) , but since his master more or less stated their only sources of answer was out of commission until further notice (which ALSO bothered him greatly....), he shrugged of the matter for the moment. He finally had some idea of what fucked him over at that crucial moment (and therefore an easy blame target), and you didn't seem too concerned about it, so it wasn't important enough to let it keep bugging him.

After you took a seat and expressed you discontent, the black feline padded over to you and laid a paw across your shoulder. Together, they would get through this like every other shitstorm and catastrophe they've been embroiled in, and knew you still had it in you to soldier onwards. Or, perhaps more appropriately, make off like the scoundrel you were!

With Erika!

Yet again you saw the Prim Princess' acute reaction at seeing the precious, lovely, wonderous, fabulous, desirable Balm Mushrooms ,, and again you could see the visible amount of restraint she had to employ not to snatch them up right now and starting to do whatever the heck she does to get high of them. Closing her eyes and taking a deep, deep breath, trying her damnedest to block out the aroma of those invaluable narcotic shrooms and resist the temptation to......! - and she lets it out, bringing up her cup of tea to replace the expended air to further calm herself and control her urges.

This process was repeated several times, until slowly the ever present blush started to diminish into complete obscurity, and the subtle shakes that racked her body stop. When Erika re-opened their eyes, they were back to their original size and unfrenzied state. It was only then that she moved her hand into her kimono and into her.......err, 'victoria secret's department' (do I need to spell it out to you?), and pulled out a nice stack of cash and a unique looking Pokeball, and laid them on the table. To describe the Pokeball in depth, its top hemisphere was a deep, rich emerald, its bottom a dark, metallic timberwolf, and the seal, button, trimming/equator and hinge a shiny, reflective platinum; all in all, it was a styling and sophisticated design that perfectly matched the occupant inside: Adamantine.

"Excellent. Two Balm Mushrooms, a Breloom and Shiintonic that know how to grow more, and the conditions in which to do so, in exchange for $20000 Poke and Adamantine. Count the money to confirm its all there and verify that she in the Pokeball if you like (Yes to both), though I would ask you not to release her in here. While this is not a small room, here stature would soon make it feel like so to us, so do that outside or elsewhere if you desire. Your generous gifts and advice is deeply appreciated, and on behalf of myself and all of Celadon I thank you for embarking on the mission to deal with the Nuclear Research Facility, and fully containing or eliminating the threat it poses."

She says this all in that characteristically kind, and proper tone of hers and a fastidiously polite smile, though as she finishes speaking both these qualities are 'loosened' up, sounding genuinely appreciate and.....hinting at a playful deviousness and bemusement you've never seen before until now.

"I look forward to doing business with you again, and I expect I will be hearing fantastic things about you, Reiner. Is there anything else you need......or want?"

Her smile turns......Expectant.

Or Indulgent.

Or Something.

With a woman like her, its hard to tell what is true or a elaborate ruse...

(With the Transaction complete, Reiner is free to leave anytime he choose, or stick around and continue to try his luck with Erika. Both options would are perfectly acceptable........ )

(Once you make a choice, it will be Thursday Late Night for you. I recommend paying a trip to Survival Kings as your next Encounter, since it does sell anti Rad/Nuclear equipment, among other useful things.)
