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

[Lord Windos]

Spoiler

"...yes, well, we've had a few tough spots here and there, Kingdra and I.  I'm very, very proud of her for getting through them.  Just have some...unfinished business the two of us need to take care of.  In the meantime, though, I'm also working on gaining the respect and trust of Yang, the Extreme Speed Dragonair that Lindworm took...that's going rather well so far too.  He's been very accepting and understanding."



...

"Like I said, I'll work something out when things settle down a little."

"....If you insist, my little dragon. Just...don't stress yourself about it, okay?"

...

Reiner listens carefully to the details on Wyvreon's evolution ritual, trying to think of a way to jog Yuuka's memory...

"Well, is it possible we could try bringing Inari into this dream, or at least check his Summary?  You have his pokeball on your person and he's snoozing right now too, right?  I really don't know how this whole thing works, but maybe that's something that's possible?"


...

"...motheeeeerrr...can we please not talk about my love life?  Kinda hard to have one when you're trying to get out of exile..."

Ah, yes, so, about the whole arranged marriage thing...I don't think I have to say who would have been the lucky gal if things had gone just a little differently for both her and Reiner, do I?]

...

"...I'm gonna be honest with you: things with Clair went fairly well at first, actually.  She was more reasonable about hearing me out than I think anyone would have expected.  But that damn artifact the Elders gave her messed everything up.  Messed her up because she couldn't truly handle it.  She needs some time to recover from the consequences, and I've had to keep her hidden away for both my safety and hers.  I ended up confiscating Megido's Revelation to prevent her (and anyone else) from using it any further.  Elders aren't going to be happy when they hear about that among other things, but they're destroying Blackthorn from the inside out with how they're acting.  Something has to change, and soon."

Kaa-san seemed to beam even brighter the more you described how close you've become with your pseudo sister of a Dragon type, though she was snapped out of it when you brought up 'unfinished business' and Yang, looking both surprised and a little worried.

"Oh! So THAT was what Lindworm stole from the Dragon Den: an Elders experimentally breed Dragonair, and maybe even more! No wonder those wind bag become so....irate and immediately branded him a traitor. …I suppose he wanted to give you one as a sign of support, or....*Sighs* …to make up what he perceives to be his ultimate failure. He's always felt guilty that he couldn't prevent you from being exiled, though he kept those feelings and reservations to himself. Still....for him to do that...well, I'm glad you've managed to bond with Yang so quickly in such a short amount of time..."

That suggestion caused her to blink a couple of time, before she smack her forehead with the flat of her palm and mumbled "Why didn't I think of that." She then flicked the button on the Pokémon was holding in order to summon Inari (as that was his Pokeball)…to absolutely no effect, other that a errornous *Brzt!* sound coming from it. Cursing under her breath in draconic, she then tried to pull up her beloved fox dragon's summery, and thankfully THAT worked, causing the holographic screen on it to pop up , which she subsequently motioned for you to get a good look:

NOBLE WYVREON (Inari)

HP: 8 (VIT + 5)

Special Qualties (AKA: Surprises!): All Egg Moves, + 1 STR, DEX, Fight, Brawl, and Evasion.

Moves: All Egg Moves and Level Up moves of Eevee (She's had a LOT of time to train the little bugger!), Surf, Whirlpool, Defog, Fly, Strength, Flash, Roar*, Yawn*, Calm Mind* , Dragon Pulse EX* , Dragon Rage* , etc. (I don't have my list with me, but those * Moves are the ones I definitely remember they gain on Evolution)

Exclusive Move: Dragon Pulse EX - STR + 4, Spread Move, Roll 2D6 Chance Dice to nullify Opponent(s)' Ability, and Roll a 1D4 to determine how many Rounds this effect lasts. Once the effect is triggered and wears off, it can not be re-applied with this Move, but it can be extended by 1 Round every time the chance effect of this move 'procs' . Chance Effect overrides and nullifies the effects of all Ability Changing and Nullifying Moves/Items, with the exception of the Nullity Item.

Ability: IMPERIAL MAJASTY - If they are the first to move in battle (Initiative), this Pokémon will gain a Defense Boost of 1, and either a variant of Forewarn or further Damage Reduction (1D6 Dice for Secondary Effect: 1-4 - You Learn the Opponent(s) most Dangerous Attack, and the first Move Moves they will use the Round this ability takes effect, 5-6 : A Flat Damage Reduction of 1) . If they do not move first in battle, the opponent suffers a Dexterity Drop of 1, and the opponent(s) are either are Flitched or Disabled (1D6 for Secondary Effect: 1-4: Flitch the Target out of their First Move/Action of the Round this ability is triggered; 5-6: Disable the first Move/Action of the Target for 4 Rounds). These effects are mutually exclusive (Once one effect is triggered upon being summoned, the other effect won't trigger/the same effect won't trigger again unless this Pokémon is recalled), and the negative effects apply to ALL Pokémon on the Battefield.

Your kaa-san could only continue to cackle at your profuse blushing and embarrassment, but she eventually decided to take mercy on your poor soul/self esteem and stopped teasing you about it....for now.

(…)

Mother's Bullshit Dectector: Insight (3) + Knowledge (5) + Empathy (*3) - Believable Story (2) = 9D6 Dice; She WANTS to believe you, so she needs 6 Success in order to call you out on this half truthful story of yours.
(5)(4)(2)(5)(5)(3)(6)(2)(1) Fives Successes!

Your beloved kaa-san looks at you with a tad bit of discomfort, worry, alarm, and....uncertainty as you gave your....bowdlerized version of your entire confrontation with Clair, and began to wring her hands again as you vaguely described what.....happened to her. For the longest time she didn't say anything to you as she stared downwards and mulled everything over. Something seemed....off about her little dragon's story, and had a STRONG gut feeling he was keeping secrets from her.....

….but in the end she decided to set aside those doubts and believe in her son's story, and finally nodded her head at him with a certain amount of hopeful trepidation. She....she didn't want to entertain the notion that her son was lying to her, nor consider....other possibilities of what could have REALLY happened with Clair if she started down that train of logic...

".....Alright, my little dragon. I.....didn't think the Elders would hand out our Clans Sacred Treasure to Clair, or just how......DANGEROUS it really was. Please....take good care of your cousin to make sure she gets better, and when you come back home......teach those craven old fools a lesson they will NEVER forget. No one sets up and recklessly endangers OUR family for their own gain. Not without paying a PRICE."

She says those last few remarks with a smoldering heat and resentment you would scare believe, had she not used it earlier to curse out the Elders earlier. To put it mildly, kaa-san was just as displeased as you as to what...happened to Clair because of the Elder's shortsighted carvenous, if not more. Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned indeed!
