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

Spoiler

"About the item buying there is a suggestion about how to get the money AND have enough to buy a few items. A time ago, I have "take" a Pidgeot a time ago. And that Pidgeot have a nice Pidgeonite with him. I could sell that pokemon for a good price around $10000 - $15000 Poke. I know there is our quota with Team Rocket but its just only this pokemon. I dont have enough money to buy the Razor Fang (I have 3780...). But if we talk with the merchant and you acting as peacemaker I will have enough money to buy the Razor Fang AND buy the medic items we will need on our mission. Pretty please..."

...

"...if Proton were to find out I helped you with that, he'd probably skin me alive if it wasn't critical to the mission at hand."

So, at the moment, that's a no.

[Oh dear, if that's your idea of fun, I hate to see what you get up to in parties, puppeteer! .....Ah, who am I kidding, I'd be more than amused by the 'fun' you come up with, Hehehehehe.....!]

Big Sis turns gives you a half grumpy, half questioning look, as she wasn't quite certain how to take your light teasing and the detail you gave her (Hard to believe that Arbok had a cuddly side in her opinion!). Eventually, she settled on letting out a *Hurmpt* in response and settled back down in your lap, aloofly waiting for you to resume the pleasant grooming - so long as you avoid the ears, that is. You could tell that her aggrevation towards you has diminished, though, so you were able to get through to her a bit! Ridia penalties are reverted due to the quality time spent with her!

Weavile yet again rolled his eyes and let out a sigh, this one a bit more exaggerated and put upon to make it more theatrical, slinging an arm across your back and making a dismissive gesture with the other, all while still giving you that confident smirk. Who gives the damn whether or not the Elders were 'right' about you?

They're the ones responsible for ruining you life and shunting you down the path of chaotic/dangerous (though very  profitable and self serving, admitidly) criminal hood.

They're the ones that nursed and manipulated Clair vengeful/redemptive feelings for you and sent her and the rest of the Tohjo Dragon Tamers on the war path, all because they were too carven and paranoid to leave well enough alone!

As far as the black feline was concerned, you were FAR from entitled to prove anything but hell frozen over to them with all the shit they've put your through with their senile and fearful machinmations! So bollucks to that idea! Quit worry about proving yourself to a bunch of old people that will never accept or think of you kindly or worthy, and instead just do what you really want. Even though they'll have their disagreements on what is the 'best' path forward, he's behind you 100% of the way! Partners stick together through thick and thin, and he's not planning on changing that dynamic!

[Oi!  No need to be bringing me into this!  Stop that!]

Alright, avoiding the ears it is, then.

"...thank you, Weavile.  For sticking with me.  Even despite our recent disagreements and the...things I've said that I probably shouldn't have.  It's really appreciated."

...

"...I don't really care what they think about me...but damn it, I do care about what they're doing to Blackthorn...they're so caught up in their old ways that they're destroying the city from the inside out in an attempt to keep everything the same as it has been...they're so afraid of change that they don't even realize that it's inevitable at this point..."

Reiner looks Weavile in the eyes.  "...Clair was going to help me, Weavile.  Despite everything, despite what the Elders were going to think about it, she was going to work with me to change Blackthorn for the better...save the city we both love...and now, because of those crotchety old fools, she's..."

...he can't continue to look Weavile in the eyes right now.  Can't finish that sentence.

"...damn them to the cold, merciless afterlife and back...they don't even know what they were messing with when they gave her Megido's Revelation...I tried to warn her...tried to save her from their folly...and it was all for nothing in the end...it's just caused more needless pain and suffering..."

Well, now Reiner's both angry and sad on top of feeling a little happy in the immediate moment.

What a combination, right?
