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

[Dragonstrike]

Spoiler

When Arial raise his head, it do not have any kind of hate or anything. But of understanding. Perhaps Reiner could notice Arial could understand everything he have say? "...You right. About everything. My foes and dangers ahead of us will not take easy on us for now on. Prepare some defences, or at least some buffs, should bring a different outcome during our battle. I should be more wise and well informed about what each pokemon should able to, like Yang Aqua Jet. Baltazar and I could win against him because of the previous Moonblasts who weak win, and Airmid sacrifice with Healing Wish to bring back Baltazar to finish off the battle. I let my anger have the best on me and this almost cost me everything I more dear for. And I risk too much in many of my attacks. Luck will not always on my side, something I should know already. I only win because of preparation I made, with luck, and because it was a test. If you wanted to finish me you have the means for that. And...my defeatist attitude. Even if my chances was small or not, I should not giving up in hope, like I did. Our enemies will not simple "lets us go" because we dont want to fight or do not have the will for that. And may negative mood can affect the mood of my pokemon. As a trainer and Rocket Grunt, this is something unforgivable and inaceptable. And you right: I owe Sekmet a huge apologize and forgiviness for my lack of resolute and for diminimiss her efforts. Despite all the stress I feel during the day, I should not let this emotions have the best on me."

Arial then bow his head and kneel. As a sight of respect and admiration. "All I want to say is: Thank you, for give me the benefit of the doubt and the chance to battle against ya. And forgive me about everything what I say to you. Even a madman like me can understand the gravity of my previous mistakes. Now I understand why you are a powerfull Dragon Tamer and choosen one of Mew itself. I will never have these doubts ever again. I, Arial Copycat Schrundinger of Tandor, I will do my best to be a better bodyguard. And a better ally."

After that Arial look again to Reiner. "Can I...ask a few things Reiner? I do have some questions Reiner. The most important one, it was I make before our match: About the "voice" I have heard before. The one who call you "Little Drake". He seems to know you very well, and strangely...me too. This...something happen to everyone who have contact with these Cursed Arms? I will understand if you dont want to answear this question if you dont in the mood. But I really want to know..."

"Secondly, before we going to the Nuclear Factory, can I buy a few important healing items? At least one revive, a few potions, and perhaps a few items to cure status change such Paralyze heal, Antidote, Burn Heal and maybe Full Heal? Better be prepary than sorry."

"Also, I would like to ask you what pokemons I should with me. Since the pokemons I have in this moment is Empirilla, Xenoqueen, Metalynx, Astronite, Duplicat, Alomola and Carracosta who is in training behavior with Nelly, the Ace Trainer I meet. There is also Gligar, but that last one will be depend on his decision. Speaking of witch..."

"There is also something I would like ask you: I would like to ask you if you could go with me to the Merchant and act as a piecemaker to get a Razor Fang to make Gligar evolve to Gliscor. I want to somehow reward him for the best of his efforts in this final battle and help him evolve to his final form. Only if you can and want of course consideraly the way I act in our battle..."

Wonder in what way Reiner gonna react to these questions.

"...well, nice to see I finally knocked some sense into ya.  Get back up and on your feet, though.  No need to kneel as if I'm some sort of king...and it's 'her' when you're referring to Mew.  She'll get snippy if you refer to her as an 'it'."

"I'd be careful about saying you're hearing 'voices in your head'.  People don't need to think you're crazier than you already are."  [i.e. not up for discussion while there's anyone else around, period.  Yes, this includes the pokemon (with the exception of Mew). Might want to ask at a later point.]

"Buy what you think you'll need.  I've got most of the supplies I'll need, probably.  Not buying any more Nuclear supplies unless you provide the funds for more if you think we're going to need it.  There'll be plenty of time in the morning to get some shopping done."

"Asura's the only one of those that is not going to be having a good time there, period.  Everyone else is at least resistant or can become resistant in some way to radiation with the exception of Airmid.  You seem to be quite well equipped pokemon wise.  Steel and Nuclear obviously perform the best in the environment, but I think we should be able to manage so long as we're careful with the Iodine Tablets I picked up."

Casts another glance at Durendal, then looks back at Arial.  "...I like his moxie, so yes, I'll help with that if he desires to evolve.  Provided you can cough up the funds for a Razor Fang, that is.  Razor items are not commonplace in the slightest, so it'll be pricey no matter how you spin this."

Spoiler

(Oh yeah, I knew I was forgetting something! They gain 7 XP, since they were not fully participating in the fight and got removed from it at one point in one way or another.)

Kingdra inevitable.....disgruntled reaction to being OHKOed is something that will need to be handled carefully, but given the strong bond between you and the ample experience you have dealing with her rages, you are confident (well, as confident you can be around an angry Dragon, at any rate) you can pacify her.

Durendal gives you a wary look at your somewhat backhanded praise, but inclines their head in a cautious nod. They know it could have just as easily been them passed out on the arena, so it was only proper to their respects to the boss of his buddy.

Draco Meteor EXPLOSIONS! Intimidation Rating: Automatic 6 , with a 6 Bonus Dice to add to that.
(6)(3)(5)(6)(5)(6) + 5 = 11 Total Intimidation Score
Poe's Resolve: Will (4) + Fight (5) + Intimidate (1) = 10 Dice
Poe needs to score at least 8 Success not to outright Faint from fright, and 4 Success not to suffer a permanent drop in Happiness.
(3)(3)(5)(2)(5)(5)(3)(6)(1)(1) 3 Successes
Poe has Fainted due to the sheer TERROR from experiencing the raw D R A C O N IC  M I G H T  that was several Draco Meteors going off in rapid succession. Its so horrifying to the Little Bro that his Happiness permanently drops by 1 (Meaning a Ranc Berry or a LOT of time will have to be spent recovering it), as that cataclysmic scene will be forever seared into his memory and haunts his dreams and waking thoughts to come. After seeing what devesating power his master practically had at his finger tips, how could he not become a little more cowed in their presence?

Ridia herself  fretted over her brother's condition after he subsequently passed out before determining he was 'fine' relatively speaking. Her hair was bristling on end, and she took an HIGHLY aggressive and guarded stance towards Kingdra after she recovered from the shock/loud noise of the Draco Meteors, barely restraining herself from Growling at them and provoke them into attack her and her brother with THAT move. Kingdra was no longer just a tasty meal to the street fox, but a BEYOND dangerous threat that must be treated as such!

Its only when the Sea Queen was KOed and recalled that Big Sis relaxed, hair flattening as she shoot Reiner a stern but not altogether unkind look. Unlike with the Electric Terrain fiasco, she understood that he didn't intend for those Draco Meteors to be so.......awe inspiring or Faint her brother, but that didn't make her any less chartibly inclined towards Kingdra; quite the opposite, really. From that stare ,you get the sense that for now on she doesn't want her brother anywhere NEAR Kingdra, nor does she want to EVER work with or interact with them unless the need was dire or until she can confidently handle them should they go out of control. Failure to abide by these unspoken terms will come with penalties, naturally.

(...)

Mr. Mine only nods his head in response, before he collects all the Fainted/Injured Pokémon (all of which are recalled by now) and goes off to have them heal/get the towls. By the time he returns everyone's Pokémon will be fully restored and that conversation between your characters has passed, and the Pokemon will be back in their Trainer's respective possession. The Rain and all the Field Effects should be dissipated by this point as well. He'll then be waiting by the still snack and drink laddened trolly afterwards, awaiting further requests/orders from Reiner until he's dismissed for the night.

(...)

Poe's passed out right now (He'll need the night to recover), but Ridia is available for a rub down and is fine with such. She's still a little grumpy after the events of the Gauntlet transpired, but she's not one to turn down some free comforting grooming (though she tries to hide how much she enjoys it from you).

Once everyone that isn't a part of Reiner's posy has vacated the Training Room, only then does Weavile detach himself from the wall he has been leaning on and paws  on over to his partner. He clasped them on the back in a chummy half hug, and offers to you a rare no smirking smile, one full of fondness and sympathy, and with just a hint of wryness to it. Its been a rough day for them all to put it very lightly, and some frankly terrible things have and will happen as a result.......but it ain't all bad and it isn't all your fault, partner. Bad shit just happens somethings beyond our control, and we just have to roll with the punches best we can. Something that we have plenty of experience with, eh? So chin up, buddy. Things will get better, like they always want do.

Well, Ridia works too, I suppose.  "...I know, Ridia...I know...I'm a little afraid of her too, believe it or not...I'll tell you why in a little bit...*sigh*...she used to be so much easier to manage..."

--------------------------------------

"...thank you once again, Mr. Mime.  I believe that will be all for tonight. You can leave the trolley here for now. I'll be in here for a little longer yet."

---------------------------------------

"...been a rougher day than ya know, Weavile...it's gonna be a loooonnnggg time before things are truly better..."

He definitely appreciates the company and the chance to just talk, buddy to buddy.  Even if he's not showing it outwardly.

Reiner's still rubbing down Ridia at the moment.  He knows she's enjoying it, even if she's trying to hide it.  He doesn't say anything while petting her.  Just thinks back to all the good times at home with his mom's Eevee...those were simpler times, that's for sure...
