Klink Round 2

(...)

Let's see if Ao is in a murderous mood.
Disobedience: (5)(4)(4)(1)

Yep! Ao Guang blasts that fainted gearhead until it is no more, using his most powerful move. Brine would probably do it. What else does he know?

+1 Loyalty for Ao Guang. And 2 Xp for him, 1 XP for Ventus.

Feeling Ao Guang's indignantion at before harried by the lowly Klink and knowing full well how wrathful/vindictive an Dragon type can truly be when their ire is raised, him subsequently scrapping the living cogwheel came as absolutely no surprise to Ventus. In fact, the researcher was entirely unbothered by the Pokémon's death, as the feeling of sastifaction from his Sea Lord and great closeness he feels towards him more than made up for it. That, and he still felt out of it from what Chandelure did to them. Besides, if he was unbothered (if not ethusiatically in favor of) his sister Apsis' feeding habits, then he could be perfectly accepting of his princely sea horse occasionally wasting a wild Pokémon if it made them Happy/more Loyal!

"My lord, you did a fine job dispatching that Klink with skillful use of your Bubbles, and with such magnificent grace on top of that! That meddlesome Steel type will harass nobody forever more, so return and rest, knowing you've done a great service this day," Ven said to Ao Guang, a smile on his face as he lavished them with praise one last time before returning them, before he walked over to the Klink's remains and scooped them up, adding them to his inventory to be smelted into ingots by Hanael later on. Macrabe as it seems, the cogwheel was just a hunk of Steel now that it was dead, so if the researcher could get some us out of its remains he'll certainly do so! Again, if killing wild Pokémon bothered him not, then repurposing their corpses certainly didn't phase him in anyway whatsoever. Waste not want not, after all!

Order: Praise Ao Guang for a job well done, before adding the dead Klink to his inventory to be smelt by Haneal later in a safe/more private place and with the right makeshift equipment (Smelting metal is dangerous if you don't do prep work right!) . Ven will then summon Apsis right back to his side again and continue to trail behind the group, making sure to keep up while also maintaining his distance. Chandelure might have made a mess of Ventus, but at least the follow up Encounters make a nice salve to the soul burn it gave him!
