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

[Dragonstrike]

Spoiler

Emily didn't make a peep as you confirmed her assumption, her gloved hands balled up into fists and head still titled downwards in consterned worried.  Your Thursday night hunt for the Vampire and confrontation with....with that MONSTER impressed upon the smol artist just how dangerous your lifestyle could be. So hearing that you were going to stalk headfirst into the goulish and infamous NRF.....well, it was clear she didn't like that one bit. Hero or not in her eyes, she knew you weren't invincible.....

However, your solemn assurance does cause her to slowly relax, loosening her near fabric tearing grip as she looked back at you with hope, before she leaned to envelope you in a hug you.

".....Alright, minster. If you, Miss Erika, and Mew think you have go over there and.....take care of it, then it must be really important. *Sniff* ...I know you can do anything and are super tough minster, but....please be careful. Okay?"

...

The little miss was seemingly disarmed of her worry when you brought up Big Sis' upcoming Evolution, causing her to let out a cute little *Gasp!* as she let you go and clasped both hands in front of her.

"Really? *Smiles, and softly giggles* Yes, yes! I want to see her become big and strong, and help however I can! You can count on me!"

With that excited agreement, the two of you make your way back to the Training Room....

…and where greeted with the sight of Lindworm cemented on the floor by Sliggoo, who was just simply (and eagerly) cuddling with him, looking extremely and blissfully content. The excommunicated acolyte for his part looked resigned to this fate, until he spot you two entering the room, giving the girl a quick glance before looking at you in an almost pitiful and definitely plaintive manner.

"....Help?"

The Dragosnail hasn't noticed either of you yet, too busy giving ETLC to her hunk of a master, while Emily couldn't help but place a hand over her mouth to smother a giggle at the sight. Yang seemed completely non-plussed by all this, but you feel that he was faintly amused by this too.

Guess you can't leave these two alone, huh?

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

A shake from the barbed ironweed was her response to your first question, somehow looking put off by that fact. She liked battling as much as the next Pokémon, so being denied that pastime for long stretches of time wore on her greatly. Hearing the status quo was soon going to change caused her to perk right back up and let out a pleased hum, before she gave you an eye smile in response. Oh, isn't THAT news she loved to hear!

She gave you a confused tilt of her head when you brought up Nuclear types, as due to being sheltered/put up for so long left her completely oblivious of their existence, but the bio metallic colossus was swift to bob herself up and down in simple but plain excitement at the mention of wading into some serious 'good' fights. Yes, that was EXACTLY the sort of thing she's been wishing for a long time.  She's already taken a shine to her new master, but if he keeps up with the good news she might start dancing with joy!

"We'll definitely be very careful.  Those Nuclear types aren't something to be messed with without the proper preparations, and we all damn well know it."

...

"...I take it Lindworm explained what's about to happen, Sliggoo?  Big day for ya, right?"  That should get her attention, and hopefully get her off Lindworm since there's more company again.

Reiner looks at Emily next.  "Emily, this is Lindworm.  He's a friend of mine, and a competent Blackthorn Dragon Tamer, despite what the current events might suggest.  Lindworm, this is Emily.  She's going to be helping me with evolving my pokemon, and then Yang and I will help you with evolving Sliggoo.  Can't have the rain washing away what I needed to set up for my pokemon's evolution."

Reiner heads to the circle he set up and indicates to Emily to come over.

"Alright, Emily, I need a picture of a dragon in the middle of this circle that I've drawn.  Doesn't have to be any Dragon in particular, but it is necessary for the evolution."

Wonder if Emily is confused at all by this?  And the same goes for Lindworm...

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

"Hmmm...well, you're about to learn what a Nuclear type is soon enough.  Dangerous critters, those.  Good to see you're ready for some action, though.  The optimism should help a lot.  I'll be calling on you for help soon, alright?"

All that really needs to be said for now to Adam.  Now to just deal with that last little scene...
