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

[Dragonstrike]

Spoiler

Saddest music to the ocasion

Arial fall in the ground along with Gaspar turning into a violine and playing the saddest music of all times.

"...if you say so...better than nothing I guess...can you at least help to sell this Mega Stone? Since I cant sell the bird pokemon, I could at least sell that stone...this you can do right?"

Now Arial make his best cat sad eyes:

"...you know as well as I what the rules are, Arial."

[Dear Dragonstrike, you've been involved long before my shadows have fell upon yours, and I started whispering sweet nothings in your ears. Reiner existence, this world or some variant of it , all brought into fruition because you wish to immense yourself in a reality not of your own! ]

[All I'm just doing at this point is......enlivening things for humdrum old you. Don't you agree how boring or uninteresting things would be without me, lurking in the background, and the dark corners of your mind, trying to figure out exactly what I'm up to? Hehehehe......]

A hum of approval was issued from Big Sis as you resumed the grooming, content with the simple pleasure of your figures parting her fur and scratching all the hard to reach itches. Ahh.....if only you had a brush or other hair care products, like the pompous rich trainers she's robbed or begged a meal/Item off of.....



The cat thief's smirk was erased and replaced with a look scrunched up look of befuddlement as you revealed that Clair wanted to help him in his goals to transform Blackthor,n and strip it of its hidebound traditionalism/improve it. What?  As far as he knew, that bitch would sooner pledge allegence to Pryce than ever seriously entertain the idea of abandoning her hard ass and strict adherence to the 'good old Blackthorn way' , so he must be missing some important details here.

When you trailed off at the end and refused to meet his gaze, Weavile's confusion only grew as he wonder what in the heck you were so hesitant to-

Oh.

Oh no.

Weavile's expression morphed into one of stunned disbelief, as he slowly pieced together the various details and clues he's picked up for you and you.

Clair's disappearance after THAT battle......Mew's subsequent breakdown and soon to be lose of emotion.......his partner's immense stress and guilt about both.

It was all connected.

She didn't just up and flee after getting her ass handed to her by Reiner.

She was mulched.

By Mew. Somehow, for some reason.

The pink fuzz ball couldn't handle it.

......and now Reiner has to pick up the scatter remains of both those Arceas damned messes, and still find a way to make it all work .

No wonder they're so angry, mopey, philosophical, and just plain tired and miserable , despite trying to repress it or keep a semi positive attitude around him and their Pokémon.

Just as quick as it came, the shock faded, replaced by a neutral frown on his face as he silently listened to them mourn the loss of their cousin.

Then, and only after you were finished and lapsed into silence.....

....

....

....he hugged you.

Nothing fancy, just a simple hug. To show he's there for you, and that he understands.

He couldn't claim to share the same love or compassion for Clair as his partner - he honestly didn't care for her all that much after repeatedly having his furry ass demolished and thrown back into the Ice Path for 'tresspassing' into Blackthorn - but that doesn't mean he couldn't still be their for them and give them strength.

They'll get through this together, with Kingdra, Arbok, and all the other allies they've made this past crazy week alone.

.....and then they'll get revenge on those bastards that were responsible for setting her up for death. Count on it.

........... . . . . Memories of dead old past, rise again. . . . . .

Flashback

"...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..."

. . . . .That can be arranged, my love.....

Anyone that makes you suffer......they deserve to suffer themselves.

Now.....and forever.....

....

........

.......... . .

. . . . . . . .may they be buried now, laid to rest...

...

....Hehehehe.....be careful what you wish for, little drake. You never know if it might granted. HeheheheheHA.......!

[Certainly less interesting, yes.  Quite honestly, I think things were exciting enough without you around.]

No further comments for Weavile are needed right now.




...he hadn't thought she'd been listening.

There are no mirrors in this room.  Nothing reflective she could have been using to watch.  [Though there are other ways she could be watching, of course]

And as far as he knows, she's still working on...that.

To say he hadn't at least partially meant what he said wouldn't be accurate.  However, he is rather grief stricken and emotionally overwhelmed right now as well, so some of what he says should be taken with a grain of salt...

"...damn it...almighty dragons above and below, no, that is not what I wish.  There's such a thing as a figure of speech, you know."

"...and I'm going to give them enough hell to pay for as it is.  You can count on that."

(...yes, if you could leave this matter to Reiner to handle for the time being, that'd probably be for the best...)





...Ridia is probably very confused about what's going on right now...
