Oh? Well, that's intriguing...VERY intriguing...still putting it away for now, but we'll be investigating this later for sure...
-------------------------------------------------
Side note: forgot to let someone else join in on this snack time, so let's fix that, shall we? Raijin gets to join in too. Same with Felicia Raijin's probably also hangin' out in the back of the room with his usual calm, 'don't care about much' attitude. Felicia...well, she's being herself too, I suppose. Mr. Mime can fetch them some snacks as well if there aren't enough, I assume.
When Arial enters, well...Reiner's clearly annoyed. But also strangely calm...a little TOO calm, one might say...
"...well, I hear you've had quite a day. Hear you've made a new friend, even. Funny, 'cause I did too."
Reiner stares at Arial. Those blue eyes of his are even more piercing than usual...
"...so let me ask you this: do you think it was worth the risk and the trouble it caused?"
Poe's probably a little intimidated by just how serious Reiner's become with virtually no warning. Though Reiner's mindful of that and has set Poe down to go over to Ridia if need be (and she's probably keeping herself between Poe and Arial, I imagine, since Reiner doesn't seem to be very pleased with the stranger who just entered the room)
Reiner stares at Arial for a moment longer...and answers his own question.
"...well, well...no feelings of regret. But if you were disobeying my orders to do your job, you should have done so. Instead, you almost die to a Muk of all things. Do you know why I told you to stay behind? It was so Clair wouldn't trash your tail end and kick it into next week. So you wouldn't set her off prematurely and cause an even bigger scene than she already did. You didn't do that, which is good, but you got your teeth kicked in by something else in the process. You have the resolve, but lack the competence to back it up. That is not going to fly if it keeps happening."
More staring.
"I'm having Mr. Mime bring up snacks, but before we get to that...you keep saying you wish to battle me? Well, now's your chance. I'm not letting you leave this room until you do. Prove to me you aren't going to get completely crushed by an opponent that outmatches you. Get on that battlefield and send out your first pokemon. Do not expect me to take it easy on you. I'll allow you six pokemon with one supporting pokemon in the back, though, because you're going to need it. I've already chosen my first pokemon. Poe, I want you to play the supporting roll on my side, please. You have my word that if he attacks you even once, I will tear him a new one. I'll even let Ridia do it."
Mandatory Surprise Battle Challenge for Arial!
- Difficulty: Hard/Boss level, maybe?
- Rules: Reiner will use 6 pokemon with Poe acting as support in the back. Arial is allowed to use up to 6 plus a support of his own (ie Alomomola). This is a Full Battle (supports are not allowed to be attacked, btw) where fainting is allowed (feel free to forfeit a pokemon like what Nelly did with her Granbull if you feel they're getting creamed a little too hard), and Reiner has already picked his first pokemon, so choose carefully what you send out first...
- Item use: Allowed, but think carefully about if it's REALLY worth using them here instead of any of the more important encounters later...and also carefully consider who you've used Potions on today already.
(Arial does not have to win this battle, but he needs to give it his absolute best, period.)
