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

[Dragonstrike]

Spoiler

"*Eyes raise in interest* Oh? Might their be a chance I could meet such a person? They sound quite interesting, and I could always use another Friend to help me expand my collection!"

They wave off your own surprise at the L.L.L. , simply saying : "Think nothing of it, good sir. I'm rather well off from my own accomplishments and work, so I can easily afford such generous gifts if I feel like sharing."

Once Arbok hears about this fortunate fancy, he's all to eager to devour it all in one great big *Gulp!*, plastic and all! Fortunately his caustic and Poisonous digestive juices can easily break down such material, so no worries! A dreamy look quickly materializes on the great big snake's face as they let out a *Ssssigh* of pure delight and pleasure at eating such a SCRUMPTIOUS DELICACY! , feeling more peppy and lucky than in a LONG time. This meal MORE than makes up for being treated like a aggravating foot rest by He-Tsareena, that's for sure! All beneftis of the Lucky Lion Loin conferred to Arbok!

Again, Fluidity looks a bit startled as you reminded them the whole point of their battle with them (as they got distracted by the other business before hand!), but they quickly go "Ah yes, my Offer!" They then reach into their bag, and pull out what appeared to be a.....well, it looked like a crome toy ray gun, at first glance. However, judging by all the tech and how gingerly/reverentially they were treating the device, you knew its was more than its appearance implied to be. They place it on the table in front of them, and gestured to it as they explained:

" As you could tell by now, I'm a collector of the rare and exotic, but I'm also - not to sound unhumble, but its true- a brilliant Pokémon Research and Engineer! I've made quite a lot of money selling my inventions to Silph Co and other companies around the world, not to mention all the royalties I get off my other inventions on the various markets around the world, which has greatly helped fund my passion in Collecting!"


" However, some more esoteric inventions or pet projects of mine need....more thorough testing before they can be sold to companies and place on the market, and that's where you come in good sir. I've been looking for a Strong, Intelligent, and Interesting male human to finish testing my latest invention, and after our THRILLING battle, you are more than qualified! As for what will be test on, why it's this little invention of mine that I call The Gender Fluidizer *Waves their hands around excitedly* ! No doubt you can already guess what it can do and might have immediate reservations, but I can assure you that the process is FULLY reversible , and that its already been tested it on consenting and fully knowing human female and various Pokémon volunteers - not mine, no those are natural anomalies of their species! - to make sure that it works, with absolutely no problems! That's not all my little invention can do, though! Let me explain...."

Fluidity then goes into exhausting detail about what else The Gender Fluidizer does, all of which sounds rather bizaare and a little freakish, but immensely useful and fascinating too. The ability to change Mono Male Species and Genderless Pokémon into Females alone would have Breeders all of the world salivating at the chance to get one, but its also useful for species where gender distribution of individuals are more skewed towards male or female, and as a learning tool it has its niche applications. The Odd researcher is sitting on a potential gold mine right here, now that you think about it!

"Can you see now how useful my device can be? Not only in the Pokémon Industry, but it would also revolutionize the human gender re-assignment industry overnight ones these are out! A person could be any gender they want truly without timely, costly, and dangerous surgery, and BE who they want to truly BE. Its a WONDERFUL thing overall, and that's why I need your help! By testing it on you, I'll be able to obtain a complete array of data for all genders of Pokémon and humans alike, finalize my research and testing on the device, and being able to present this project to all my interest investors and companies. In exchange I'll not only award you $25000 Poke for your contribution towards my research, but give you the Gender Fluidizer for your own use! Additionally, if you make any discoveries with this device, I'll give you my number so you can get in touch with me ASAP so you can tell me, and I'll compensate you accordingly! Or call me about any fascinating or unique Pokémon or thing you find, which I would be more than happy to pay you for them as well!"

"So, now that you've heard my Offer in full detail, what do you say to it, good sir?"

Unique Key Item Revealed: Gender Fluidizer!
Cost: Priceless
Effect: Change the Gender of a Pokemon/Humans into its opposite instantaneously, changing their appearance in the process if there is significant variance in appearance between the Genders of a Pokemon/Human. Changes can be reversed after two Encounters (One Encounter for the first time the device is used) after the device has recharged. This includes Mono-Gender Only Species and Gender Exclusive Evolutions/Variants, and in the former instance a Gender will be assigned at the discersion of the user. 


Pokemon with Gender Exclusive Evos gain access to the Learnpool and Typing of the Gender/Varient Evo they change into, but keep the Moves Learned, TM/HM List, Ability, and the capacity to Mega Evolve they have in their ‘Default’ gender evo (Mostly applies to Frosslass in case of Mega Evo). Tutor Lists are shared between Gender Evos. Mono Gender/Genderless Species/counterparts  gain a brand new Ability and/or Typing, and have access to Exclusive Egg Moves while in that Gender. Regular Gender Pokémon learn Moves at a lower cost in their 'non Default Gender' form, and learn certain Surprises! cheaper.

Moves Learned, XP, and Surprises carry over to each ‘form’ , but Moves  not learned from the ‘Default’ Gender/Form suffer a debuff of some kind in while in ‘Default’ Form, and Surprises!  learned on the 'non Default' gender can be subject to change on the Default Gender.

 It can also allow the existence of ‘Wrong Gender’ Evos, like Male Salazzles, Vespiqueens, Female Gallades, etc.. by using it on them, which auto evolves/enables to evolve into that form, and locks in the gender as ‘Default’,  following the rules laid out for what happens above,  and they get a Surprise! too.

For Reiner, this Device also has an interesting but beneficial Mechanical Effects other than changing his Gender that will be revealed once the G.F. is used on him (And I REALLY want to explore this option, so I’m willing to keep adding incentives for Reiner to accepted being tested on!).

"Unfortunately, meeting them isn't likely to happen.  I have to contact them through a secondary source since they're busy doing something else right now, and they much prefer remaining unseen due to their...unique circumstances.  They'll do the job, though."



The Offer definitely isn't what Reiner expected it to be.  It does sound promising as an invention, particularly if it's been tested extensively on everything else...

...quite frankly, though, this is definitely making Reiner a little nervous.

Correction: very nervous.

...this is certainly not a decision he'd been prepared to make...the implications of this for him right now are...well, weird, to put it bluntly.

"...I'm not so sure about this..."

Some more incentive (and another few minutes to carefully consider how he might use such an item) will probably be enough to persuade him though.  I think...
