[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Lord Windos]

Spoiler

Raichu just giggles and helps you haul the giant man off to the Pokemon Center, where Nurse Joy thanks you for being honest.

"We know Bottle here, quite well. Sadly. Yes, I would just take the money from him. You say he only had one Pokemon left, and that's this wounded Raichu? I'm sure he intended to forfeit. He usually hides most of his money away, so hopefully there's enough here... Let me see....$1000, was it?" She fishes out the money, and you see he has few other bills in that wallet.

"Here you are. Thank you for bringing him in. Whoever invents a Healing Machine for humans will be a very rich man."


She leans down to Bottle's ear. "Bottle! Bottle, it's Nurse Joy. I'm going to put your Pokemon in the Healing Machine, OK? OK Bottle?" There's no response, so she makes a face at Ventus and collects the four Pokeballs. Raichu hops up and taps himself into one.

"Bottle isn't a big fan of allowing his Pokemon to faint. They're so big and they need a lot of energy!"

Carrying such a gargantuan man by himself would have been a grueling task, but thanks to Raichu they were able to get Bottle to the Center in a reasonable amount of time. Not that it was easy on his muscles, though! When the resident Nurse thanked him for their honestly, Ventus accept with good grace and humbleness with just a bow of his head. He may have/still does many nebulously moral things, but dishonestly and thievery are not among that line up! .....At least not with the reputable/law abiding sort, anyways.

"Hmm.....well give them the message that I had a terrific fight with them, and that offer to share a drink is still available when I return to town. Assuming he doesn't start without me, that is." the researcher happily if not a wee bit dryly as well, accepting the $1000 Poke with a dazzling smile and a nod of his head.

"Once again, I thank you for understanding of the situation, and I apologize for the inconvenaice we (motions towards Bottle) have brought upon you. As a matter, here" Ventus continued, before separating $200 Poke from the $1000 bundle and handing it to her!

"Consider it due recompense for everything, and simply because my friend!"

After that random act of kindness the sociologist waited for his own Pokémon to be healed, he went to the PC and swapped out Hanael for Ao Guang, and exited the Center, heading to the Dpt. Store to buy 2 Potions to replace the ones he spent in battle, 2 Burn Heals for a grand total of $900 Poke. When he finished his shopping, he exited the store and summoned Haziel, first letting the hop on his shoulder as per usual before kindly asking them:

"My little prophet, I know I have been keeping you busy today will Teleporting me all over the region, but if I could do a few more trips for me, I promise to reward you for your efforts with some tasty blueberries! Now, could you take me to the Vapor Falls once more, by the river like last time? I wish to give Ao Guang some more exercise in the rapids, and my newest child Azrael - its a baby Deino I hatched from that Egg I was carrying around - and Lilith would certainly appreciate the chance to explore and play in such natural splendor! That, and Lilith would most certainly be easier to appease there than in the city!"

Order: Be nice to the Nurse Joy and give her a $200 tip for putting up with Bottle, then spend $900 Poke to buy back the amount of Potions I used during the battle and 2 Burn Heals for the upcoming REVENGE plot against Chandelure. He'll then ask Haziel to teleport him to Vapor Falls for a Training/relaxation session there, with Ventus feeding and simply spending time with Lilith, Haziel, and Azrael (Playing with his child, and pampering/helping Lilith glide around by summoning Raphael to cart her into the air), while Ao Guang is released into the river to race and swim to his heart's content! Pokémon being 'Trained' : Ao Guang, Azrael, and Lilith.

Afterwards, Ventus will teleport back to Cress City East Pokémon Center, swap out Haziel for Hanael, giving the current party line up of Raphael, Apsis, Lilith, Hanael, Ao Guang, and Azrael. He'll then head off to bed, brainstorming and finalizing the plans he's been silently coming up with in dealing with Chandelure, before sleeping. That should be it!
