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

[Lord Windos]

Spoiler

"Well, figured that might be your reaction, Ayame...hmmm..."

Reiner, Spiritmon just had the most wonderful idea!  You could have Arial tell Riza to go get a GTH Beedrill for Fluidity!  And as compensation for...interrupting Riza's search to get you a Froslass, you could offer to get that Razor Fang in return.  Should curb some of that grumpiness, I think.

I didn't ask for your opinion, ya know...but it is a good idea, I'll give it that much...

After mulling things over for a moment...

"...ya know, I think I might have just had a better idea, Ayame.  Maybe we can get Fluidity a bee and get ourselves an icy cold friend without trading you after all..."

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

Moments later, when Reiner meets with Fluidity in the private room...

"Well, Ayame is rather divided on being traded, as I expected.  I had an idea while thinking about what to do about that, though...what if I said I happen to know someone who could get you a GTH Beedrill without putting themselves at great risk?  I'll handle compensating them for the trouble, and it should only take them a few hours at most to get one.  You get a bee, I get an icy ghost, Ayame doesn't have to worry about being traded away, and nobody gets stung by angry bees.  Sounds like a win-win to me."

(Oh come now, Reiner, no need to be surly towards Dragonstrike! He's only trying to help you out, not dictate your every actions [Oh, the irony of the statement is killing me!], after all. You should be thanking him for that and even more, in fact, because if it wasn't for him I wouldn't have arranged for you to meet with your mother in the first place. Just so you know.....~)

Ayame perked up GREATLY from that confident reassurance, as it caused her to rise back up high into the air and happily *Clanks-Tack!* her stingers together, and then rush forward to give you warm, buzzing hug! Not only does she gets to stay with all her friends, but gets to make a brand new one too?! Bzzz, Yay , Bzzz!!!

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

Fluidity at first seemed a tiny bit taken aback by your counter offer, but that faded away as they then mulled it over while looking downwards and tapping their chin. It didn't take long for them to come to a decision, though, as they *Clapped!* their hands together and grinned at you with keen interest and joy!

"My my, you are just full of clever ideas and brilliant solution, are you not good sir? Hm hm, such cunning proposal...how could I possibly refuse it? You have deal! Hopefully your associate can obtain one safely and in good health as you assure, but if not....well, let's not think of such grim possibilities until we have to, oui?"

After saying that, the eccentric thrill seeker then twists around and reaches into their bag/Inventory, until they pull out what looked to be a slab of vacuum seal, rich red meat labeled 'Lucky Lion Loin' and passed it over to you.

"Oh, and before I forget, here's a treat for your Arbok to make up for how....roughly that He-Tsareena treated him. Its a rare and extraordinary delicacy among carnivores everywhere, where its widely reported that dining on just one bite one can't helped but feel blessed! Normally I wouldn't dream of parting with such a rarity, but...well....I believe your snake will gain far more use out of this than myself or the rest of my collection of Pokémon."

Custom Item: Lucky Lion Loin!
Cost: $30000 or MORE, depending on where you get it and how big of a cut you receive.
Effect: Grants a + 2 Luck Surprise! to the user, makes all Luck Based Surprises (which include Critical Hits and modifications thereof) reduced to 1/3 of their normal cost, and gives the user 7 XP. Cooking it well DOULBES the benefits, but that requires an Insight + Knowledge + Craft/Cooking Roll Success total of 5 or higher, and any lower ruins the meat and halves the benefits instead.
