[Game] Lord Windos' PokeRole Adventure: Celadon City Vandel

[Dragonstrike]

This particular version of the move should be hauntingly familiar to Reiner, though.....

The Dragon Queen of the Sea finished her preparations for the Round, looking much more powerful as her presence seemingly loomed over the battlefield, smothering all but her master Reiner, he seemed to bask in her draconic might and glory!

Well, it's not because Clair's Kingdra used it, that's for sure.  If anything, though, Reiner's making sure to keep a close eye on Kingdra.  Don't need her going on a rampage now of all times...

Still, it does feel good to be all buffed up and mighty.  They haven't had a good chance to flex their skills in awhile.

This is why Kingdra Neptunian Arendse is Reiner's Ace and essentially a sister to him.  Not that he'll ever say that out loud if they aren't alone.

The cat thief looked grumpy but somewhat mollified by your explanation of the lapse, though when you alluded to Mew's......less than steller future outlook on things, it turned into one of faint surprise and curiosity. He then made a 'tell me more' gesture, clearly intrigued and a little.....nervous by that little tidbit you offered. Oh boy, this is going to be either real good, or real bad.

(Feeling a little nervous now, eh?  Good.  Reiner is too.  Unfortunately, due to circumstances beyond his and Mews' control, Reiner now has to 'fix' things to keep them from getting too out of hand.  Thus, to keep Mew from being a ridiculously heavy burden due to trauma making her near useless for months...well, how do I go about saying this...hmmm...)

(...well, the short of it is that Mew isn't going to like what had to be done.  And if she can't bring herself to like someone even a smidgen...well, they might as well not exist to her if they don't warrant her attention in any way.  She will be cold.  Logical.  Stubborn.  And just really irritable in general.  However, that might be a good fit if Reiner decides to continue hanging around with your Rocket buddies for an indeterminant amount of time...)

(...oh, and Reiner is partially blaming himself for that outcome, just so you know.  It's reminding him a lot of when Lucy was taken and he couldn't do a damn thing about it.  He could use a good friend's company to remind him that things aren't all bad right now, that they'll get better if enough time and work is put into them.  And I do believe you're the only one who can truly fill that niche for him, my dark and handsome feline friend with untapped potential.  So after this battle, I'd recommend you go and remind him why you're one of his best buds in his opinion.  Mew's got nothing on you in that area, and she'll never be able to fully replace neither you nor Kingdra. Just another little something I think you should keep in mind...)

Speaking of Reiner...he still has to respond to Arial.  So here we go:

Reiner smirks a little at Arial's compliment.  "And you've impressed me on several counts already.  Let's see if your cat and bat can truly compete with my draconic seahorse, or if they'll be tossed aside like rag dolls in a Hurricane.  Not even Arbok tangoes with Kingdra if he can avoid it."
