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

[Dragonstrike]

Spoiler

At the offer to help Evolve his Sliggoo Lindworm snapped out of the odd funk he slipped into, looking up at you with an expression of surprise and....uncertainty. He mulled it over for a bit, mumbling to himself ''Maybe she would stop...………...after evolving?" , before finally coming to a decision and nodding his head.

"Yes.....I would appreciate that greatly. Thank you, Reiner. Hmm....I'm rather impressed that Yang was able to generate such a powerful rainstorm from using Rain Dance, even if the weather conditions at the time were ripe for one...."

(…)

Your more or less full (if abridged and edited) explanation concerning the NRF and how......delicate the situation surrounding it caused your fellow exile's eyes to widen to an almost comical size. His skin had also paled to the color of a bedsheets ghost, and his hands where now firmly clenched on the armrests of his chair as he stared at you in utter shock, horror, and indignation.

"By The Dragon Gods above and the Renegade Goddess below, are you telling me that Celadon potentially has a Nuclear Disaster on its hands, and that its only barely being held at bay?! Sweet Dear Rayquaza, is the National Guard or authorities of this city THAT bloody damn incompetent to not be able to handle this that they have to call upon civilians to do their jobs for them?! Those....those.....those...…..!"

He bit off his words at that point, closing his eyes, facepalming, and taking several deep aggravated breaths as he forced himself to calm down, least he start swearing up a storm unbefitting a man of his (former) stature. Fallen from grace or not, he has standards and control over himself, and he would NOT lose either, no matter how much the news unsettled him.

For several minutes he said nothing, as he gathered his wits once more. Then, the excommunicated acolyte removed his and held your gaze, his expression cool, calm, and composed like an Ice type, but his eyes filled with nothing but the most ferocious Dragon fire.

"Count me in. No matter how wise it would be for me to do so, I can not ignore such a monumental threat the NRF poses towards not only Celadon and the entirety of the region, but you as well. Once before, I failed to help you in your time of need, and the horrible, atrocious consequences from the Elder did haunt me to this day. Now......I will not suffer such failure again. We will stand together against the Nuclear Disaster, and we will stamp it out. I promise you this, Reiner..."

Lindworm has joined the Party for the upcoming Nuclear Research Facility Raid!

[Was definitely wondering where Yin was...can't have Yang without Yin, after all.  Wonder what the two of them think of each other...suppose we might be finding out, right?]

Reiner nods in approval, making only one comment for now to round out the topic.  "If you're going to purchase some supplies of your own, I happen to know a shopkeep who has some for sale."

...

"The second topic concerns...future plans.  It also happens to involve me potentially helping you.   We can discuss that later, though, after we've dealt with the NRF.  I have a few more last minute preparations I need to make after dinner before we set out.  I need to conduct a trade and have a pokemon of my own to evolve, for example."

Reiner cracks a smile.

"And I definitely think you'll be interested in seeing that evolution."





So, here's the list of things that need to be done before heading to the NRF, as well as the order they will be conducted in:

- Talk to Mew [Gotta be roleplayed, obviously.  There might be some important stuff occurring immediately after this is 'done', too]

- Try calling Taylor again? [Ideally in a private room, obviously]

- Evolving Ridia into a Savage Wyvreon!  Between the component items, Emily's picture of Yang, Hidden Power Dragon, and the remaining stuff which is easy to get on the spot, we should have everything needed!  [Requires a lot of roleplay, obviously.  Reiner will have to talk to Emily and various other characters during this scene for various reasons]

- Evolve Sliggoo into Goodra with Yang's help [Goodra's a hugger, so...yup...she'll definitely be a little stronger, though!]

- Trade the Razor Fang for the GTH Beedrill, then the bee for Frosslad [two birds, one stone.  Three birds if you count putting Fluidity's mind at ease concerning the reversal of Reiner's transformation]

- Update Proton [good time for Lindworm to purchase the anti-radiation supplies he needs]



So, without further adieu...let's get started with task number 1!

...*mental sighing*...I know you're probably not in the mood for talking right now, Mew, but...he wants to talk to you.  Something about a...sheet of some kind, I think?  Honestly, I'm getting a headache just trying to figure out what he means by that, so I'm not going to ask.

[Yeah, I'd like to have a private chat with Mew on the character sheet if ya don't mind.  Reiner and Lindworm can have their dinner while that's going on.]
