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

[Lord Windos]

(...)

"Gaspar is okay Durendal. He not received any lethal damage." He looks to Kingdra and nod his head. "Thank you for holding the lethal damage Kingdra and Reiner. Durendal, be careful. Even after receiving all that damage, Kingdra still a might foe. One hit, and you are finish it. We must finish this quick in one attack so take care. Thats last round...will decide who will win."

The scorpiobat knew their mimic friend was not Lethally Injured from Kingdra's moves, as they've seen enough of their own handy work and the predation of other Pokémon to disguise between deadly wounds or not, but the news they (Gaspar) was okay still brought a relieved smile to their face. A quick nod of their head was issued at your warning, as they well knew she was capable of eroding him away in an instant with either a salty Brine, explosive Draco Meteor, or worse. They would not be taking the Dragon Queen of the Sea lightly; no, they were going to finish her off with prejudice.

"...you're certain you wish to continue, Durendal?  Certain you wish to defend him no matter what may happen to yourself?"

In other words: is he certain Arial is deserving of that Loyalty?

Reiner's words seemed to cause the grinning glider to falter a bit at such a probing question, looking seemingly nervous at themselves as they stared at their claws/pincers , before they clamped them tightly and looked back up at the Big Bad Boss and got into battle stance against Kingdra. Let their willing to fight on Arial's behalf serve as their answer. They will defend him......and they will redeem themselves too.

"You are not force to go foward with this Durendal. Even if you are not a official pokemon of my team, you have come to defend us. But as a trainer and friend, I cant force you to go foward in this battle and hurt yourself. You dont need to fight if you dont want. You have free will Durendal, and you are free to decide your own path."

They shrug off your concern and touch with an affable smile and a 'fist' pump, showing you not only they wanted to defend you, but that they were confident enough that they could win this! Sure, its more than likely they'll get hosed down by the raging dragoness, but one good hit on her means she'll be sleeping with the fishes tonight instead of them! Still......they were pretty bulky though, so they'll have to him them with their strongest move to break through those defense.....!

With the chatter died down both Pokémon took a step forward and defiantly glared at each other, ready and willing to see who would win in this fight: Reiner's Ace, or Arial's Wild Card?

Gligar's Initiative: 6 + Quick Claw (1, Where the heck did they find this at?!) + (4) = 11, Goes before Kingdra

The Last Round of the Gauntlet is almost certainly going to be the next one! Who will win, Reiner or Arial?!
