[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Lord Windos]

"Ah, I thank you. I'll put this in the rehabilitation fund."

Ao Guang is a big fan of Vapor Falls. You can see him promising himself that one day he will swim up it!

(1 XP for your trainees)

(Since I was bored and wanted something to do while the day finished for everyone else, I made this scene for the whole Encounter! Enjoy guys!)

The trip to Vapor Falls was just want the doctor order for Ventus and his family, which consider he was one made it all the more justified. Upon teleporting by the river side, the empath looked over to thank his all seeing brother with a gentle carass of his head feather, which he took in silent but notable pleasure as he closed his eyes. He was a wise one, and knew that his feelings of contentment was enough for his trainer to understand. That stoicism of his changed when the empath reached into his bag to pull out a large box of blueberries and offered him a handful with a simple smile, at which point they abandon such pretenses and started to assiduously and with open pleasure began to peck away at the delicious fruit!

After that short snack and another gentle head carass the sociologist placed his prophetic brother on the ground and told them to: "Rest up and explore his surroundings to your heart's content. Just be wary of wild Pokémon, alright Haziel?" He then walked over to the nearby Greenbrair River, and with a flick his wrist he palmed Ao Guang's Pokeball and flick the release button, summoning them right into the drink, and, with hands clasped together and head bowed towards them, simply said: "My lord, the river is your causeway once more. Do as you will and enjoy yourself, sire." Needing scant more incentive than that, the Sea Lord let out a triumphant outcry and began blitzing up the river and straight to the waterfalls. Dispatching imputent Pokémon in the tunnels of Mt. Sentry may have been a adequate way to relieve his stress and to prove his Strength and Supremency over all, but ridding the currents and waves was a joy that could hardly be surpassed by any other for the Azure Dragon! Oh, and his current equip Item is the Soothe Rattle, equipped sometime during this day! Maybe this will help facilitate a stronger bond with him!

Nodding with a sense of shared sastifcation with his great and mighty dragon, Ventus walked a little ways away to a nice flat and grassy area, and sat himself down while pulling Lilith's Pokeball and releasing without much ceremony. Almost immediately after materializing she all but leaped forward and barreled into her trainer's chest, knocking him to the ground with an "Omph!" from him! The birdpent was gripping tightly on his green tweed and was giving him a demonstrative  > : (   expression, which along with the loud *Raaak!* and the demanding glare and feelings being broadcasted from her plainly told him thus: 'Gimmie my sweeties or suffer my wrath!!!' Wowza, that last battle lit a flame under her, and she wouldn't put up being denied her just desserts any longer, hmpt!!!

In contrast to seriousness being exuded by the green demoness, Ventus couldn't help but slightly grinning at how comical it was, annoying his sister even more as she threatened to start Pecking him to release the sweets, until he said to her with an air of amusement in his tone of voice: "You know Lilith, I was about to share some of the blueberries I have recently purchased, but if you rather use me as a cushion I can accommodate that desired. If you still want some, though, would you mind moving yourself to my lap so I may retrieve them for you?"

That got her to mosey on downward and off his chest, allowing him to lean up and brush the grass off (which earned him an annoyed look that said 'Make with the sweets already!'), before he reached into his bag once more to retrieve the much coveted blueberries. Lilith immediately perked up, letting out excited *Chirps* as she hopped up and down in his lap as he grabbed a great big handful, before she stopped, closed her eyes, and opened her mouth. It was clear what she wanted. After all she did for him in the past and today alone, she deserved such royal treatment! This time Ventus actually chuckled at such behavior, shaking his but never the less aquisting to her demands by pinching a few berries at a time and feeding them to her, saying as he did so: "As you wish, my dear sister....."

Later on, after the deific protodragon eaten her fill and let out a sastified  *Burp!*, her now appetite sated and her tempered appeased , the empath decided to let her work this off by summoning Raphael to take her up high into the air to glide around/ride the air currents, to which she responded to the idea with a ^ _ ^ face while clapping their talons together! Nothing can beat sweets, but that doesn't mean she doesn't enjoy flying just as much! Its part of her typing, after all! Once the two flyers were gayly soaring in the sky, Ven let out a fond *Sigh* as he watched them for the longest while, feeling rather blessed that he could have so many wonderful and unique Pokémon as members of his family. Sometimes he felt he didn't deserve such love and devotion, as indeed he had done a great many horrible and morally dubious things in his short life, but then he remembered sleeping with Apsis, or cuddling Raphael as he was a Togepi, the feeling of victory from Michael as he pitted it out against that Gyarados , the little discoveries and joyful moments with Lucifer, Adopting Abaddon........and realized that didn't matter to them. No, all they knew was the kind, generous, and highly eccentric researcher that, while having his less 'savory' moments, was ever a faithful and loving man to them. A sibling to some, a trainer or servent to others, and a father too.....

Truly, he was blessed indeed.....

Eventually he ceased his reminiscing and wretched his gaze from Lilith and Raphael, reorienting himself on the turf until he was sitting crouched on his knees, before he reached into his bag and pulled out Azrael's ball and released them, waiting until they fully materialized before scooping them up in a hug. The blind drake let out a happy cry as their papa huggled them, squirming around and joyfully nibbling all over them as they detected the scent of something new, sweet, and tasty! Something smells yummy, and she's going to find it and nom on it and everything else during the search! This lead to an rather intense play sesson with the dark angel and the sociologist, as both of them tussled together in the grass that smoothly transition to a game of 'hide' and seek, with him using this game as an opportunity to start teaching her to overcome using her sense of smell and hearing to track him done throughout the clearing! (Reaction to this, Iron?)

Regardless of how successful that game with that intent, both had a great deal of carefree fun, with it being crowned/finished off when Ventus gave her the much sought after and coveted blueberries, which quickly became a favorite for the black 'n blueberry herself! She ended up making quite a mess in the process, however, necessitating a trip to the river for a quick scrub down, which was certainly a new experience for both her and her papa. (Reaction?)

Overall, almost everyone in Ven's current party had a nice, relaxing evening in the Vapor Falls area, including the man himself, who's spirits were greatly lifted from such a leisurely and restorative experience. He wouldn't be completely fine until it was taken care of, but this day by and large had been a balm on  All good things must come to an end, however, and as the sun began to set he had to round up everyone (much to Ao Guang's consternation, as he almost made it up the falls!), and a quick Teleport courtesy of Haziel later the researcher was back in Cress City, standing in front of the East Pokémon Center. He looked towards the setting sun with one last fond smile, before it turned into a stoic frown as he turned his gaze towards Mt. Sentry, and his mind projected itself to the Candelabra, where his target lay hiding within. Chandelure. A reckoning was coming for it tomorrow, and he would not stop until it justice and vengeance was achieved, and that wretched, twisted Ghost lay in shambles beneath his heal.

Grim thoughts and plans broiling in his mind, Ventus turned his gaze away from the mountain and headed into the Center, and set about preparing for tomorrow with a perverse sort of earnestness......
