Arial have stopped to think about the options he have. "So...either I die, take servitude until I grab four more C.A. or slay a literally behemoth creature capable of destroying the world..."

"Well, for starters, the first option looks pretty easy, but I do not want to die or reborn again. I have passed though enough death to come here. And I die one time and get revive, and I almost die in the Nuclear Facility, so death its not a very much good thing. And I of course dont want to depart from my family or Riza."


"The collect of Cursed Arms looks like a more acceptable choice. Since you have Mamudo Eclipse with you, I supose you have the "other" Cursed Arms Reiner left in the Facility." With that I have speak my voice. "He does have a point. If I recall, according to the Cursed Arm Compilation, Reiner have collect three other Cursed Arms along with Mamudo Eclipse: T.P.K, Residuam Culidae and Megido Revelation. I supose those three its availabe to Arial collect, or threre is other ones to collect?" It was Arial turn to talk. "Not to mention I have zero idea about where to find the fourth Cursed Arm person. Not to mention I have no strong skills to face a Cursed User without a Cursed Arm. Reiner have his own skills as a Choosen One and have a Legendary in his side, and even him have problems. Unless you know the location of that person?"





"About that monster...no offense lady but I not exatcly what you could call a powerfull fighter. I almost get died fighting a group of Nuclear Rodents, and I not very much confident I could actually win a battle against such beast, even with having the help of goodness in my side. Nor I think my family would accept fight such battle to make Riza human again with the risk of their lifes...including my brother Gaspar who dont like her at all...I would need to ask their thoughs before go in such decision. I do love Riza a lot, but I also love my family and I already put them in enough dangers because of my foolishes journeys. Besides, I not some kind of super hero or anything like that. I still hate humanity with all my guts, and for what I care they can die, with the exception of a few individuals....But I do care for the Pokemon only, so thats something to discuss."

"So I maybe inclined to the second and third options. But I have a few questions its lurking in my mess of head: About the second option, I could get the other three Cursed Arms Reiner might have left there, and I get some info about the location of a "easier" Cursed Arm User to get his weapon, who I wish it is not Alice because she would kill me for the look of it. And about the third option: If I die or any Pokemon of mine die in the battle against that beast, they will still dead after the battle, or if you could...revive them. I know its a lot to ask, but they are like family to me. And what is the details of that "Armageddon" Monster you mentioned?"

"In essence: yes! Nicely put, if lacking in nuance."

*Shrugs with a grin*

"Fair enough. I honestly didn't think you would entertain the notion of Transmigration, but I had to to include it for various reasons. If it make it anymore appealing, if you were to Transmigrate, dear Riza and your Pokemon would still have their connections with you. I've said this before, but not so clearly. Given the nature and power of said bonds, I'd also imagine that sooner or later the cuddlebug and your family would track down your new self. I'll even inform them of what happened, so they'd know to start hunting. The red strings of fate can be ever so difficult to sever, as with blood ties and others that bind, hehehe..... To put it even more simply, the new you would most definitely be able to re-establish your relationships with Riza and your family, though not without significant alterations. After all, though your SOUL will be the same, the memories between you are not."

I grin as you again figure things out on your own, refilling my wine glass with a *Snap!* and holding out to you briefly.

"Indeed, and correct! Grab yourself a drink, and we can toast to you deductive reasoning skill, hehehehe! As for you Spirit......your first assumption is a strike out, but your second hit it out of the park. There is one more Cursed Arm in the city, and three rest are scattered throughout the world. I do know that three are or will be located in Jhoto, and if we count the little devil herself, that's two more for you to forcibly collect, though I wouldn't recommend that later course of action. At least, not currently. The little devil is a sweet heart, but she has more than earned her title and legends over the centuries. Might be possible to make a bargain of some sort to get them, or her assistance in hunting down the rest of the Cursed Arms even, but those paths are riff with dangers of their own, needless to say. Hehehehe....."

Once I finish laughing at all the though of all the fun of the little jester teaming up with the most darling and most deadliest little girl ever, I continued informing him of his choices.


"If you accept Transferal, I'll do you a small boon and tell you who the final wielder is in Celadon. You and Spirit have been most gracious and respectful to me, and have been interesting and amusing to no end with your merriment and pratfalls, so I do think you deserve it. Had the drake and his friend had a similar attitude, or been more bold and less brazenly defiant - though they would be far less fun to banter with - they would have reaped such a benefit themselves, but alas that is not to be!"

I pause at this point, and I let my smile become less jovial for a insignificant instance, then give him the rest of the news.

"I do have a condition to collecting the Cursed Arms, however: You can not involve the drake in your quest, unless them or their friend would wish to without you asking. They've made it quite clear to me they rather have nothing to do with my lovely self, nor want any part of my plans for the time being - though I can't understand their reasoning for the former, really. Who wouldn't want to be graced by my dark, divine presence~? Oh wait, that right! Those that have wronged me or my family, those with too much pride , and those too little nerve! Silly me, to forget such simple things! Hehehehe.....!"

Its funny, because its true! At least, to me it is, and right now, that's one of the only opinions that matter. So sorry about that.

Next, I discuss the last and most difficult choice to the little jester, though not without offering a much valued black pearl of wisdom. I'm not unkind enough to let him be a fool about that, as some things are not so amusing....

"Oh, you do yourself a disservice demeaning yourself, no matter how true it might be. Compared to the drake and the colorful green nightmares of the now smoldering ruins of the NRF, you are weak, but compared to, say, the Nellygator? Or the average Trainer? Your are leagues above them. High expectation and standards are good, but don't make the mistake of always looking up to them and down on yourself. Otherwise, you'll miss more than you know, and what you don't know can hurt you. Hehehehe....."

*Waves glass around, and smirks*

"Part of my assistance with Transgression would be to empower you and weaken the blight beast. Whisking the monster away to my private hidey hole will severely weaken it due to the......interaction it has with it, and I'll grant you not only increased fortitude to withstand its glorious might, but temporarily grant you a gift that the drake has: the ability to field and command as many Pokemon as you wish, with no difficulty or penalty. You are also allow to bring dear Riza with you to assist in taking down the world's blighter, and she will be afforded the same benefits as you. Hehehe.....or you can leave her out, and I'll grant you even greater Strength and fleetness of feet in order to further even the odds."

"As for asking for your family's of the darling vampire's assistance, I ask you this: Do you think they wouldn't help you, no matter the choice? Or that any of the other choices are any less costly to you or them?"

Instantly, my face is right against his, only an inch away from making contact as I stared deeply into his eyes.

"If you answer no to the first question, yes to the second, or both.......hehehehehe, then I believe you need to reconsider whether or not you wish to deal with me Arial Schrodinger, if only for your own good. No matter which choice you pick, a great burden you will endure, and all that follow in your drift and coattails. You, Riza, and you family will be fraught with adversity the likes of which you have grown so comfortably accustomed to this week, and the only thing you can do about it is overcome it or f a l l. If your collective can not or will not handle such challenges in order to reclaim her humanity, then do not make a choice you all will regret forever." 

*Claps !* And I'm leaning back in my chair once more, as if I never moved!

"And that is all I have to say about that! Charming, isn't it? Hehehe....oh, and you need not be a hero or heroic to save the world, nor do you have to love your fellow man to do so. It is, after all, the place you all live in, and you can't very well do that if its gone, now could you? Hehehehe.....or, more accurately, your descendants, since you'd probably be dead and gone in a hundred years time, bar you finding one of the various methods that exist to extend your life. In which case, this sixth paragraph verse, same as the forth sung~!"

I tilt my head to the side, smiling wide and unabashed.

"To answer your remaining questions: You will get only Mamudo Eclispe, as its the only one that was......unaffected by the Genesis Supernova, and it will take time for them to recover. Don't worry about it rejecting you, for the drake made it rather clear to it that they don't want to be its Wielder, and you have plenty of darkness in you to be worthy of it yourself. I already answered your second question for the most part, but to elaborate I will give you hints as to where the rest of them are, and the little wouldn't want to kill you - quite the opposite, as a matter of fact, but whether or not that is any better is a matter of debate. By my own estimate, I think you two would plus Riza and all your Pokemon would get along perfectly well with the little devil.....most likely to the detriment of everyone and yourself. If I must, though, I can intervene on your behalf to guarantee a fruitful relationship for all of you......if causing her interest you to magnify to unprecedented levels, for better or worse. Finally, I will revive your Pokemon, Riza, and her own, but not you. If you die, its Game Over. Details on the blight beast? Why, I've already given you plenty! You just need to have an open mind for them, hehehehe! If you are wanting for a more clear tidbit of Knowledge, though, I will riddle you this: they are my opposite, though far from my equal, nor anything that is like me. What are they?"

With that, I wind thing down once more, and ask the little jester again:

"Now that you are more informed, are you ready to make a choice? Or do you need to banter with me more? Either option is appealing for me, so I say, up to you! HeheheheheHA!"

Arial take a moment to think what to do. It would indeed wortly risk the lifes of his family and himself to make Riza human again? Would they indeed agreed with that? What about their thoughts and wishes? What about...Gaspar. He have lost his brother once. With such danger to that...I put my hand in his shoulder, trying to help him, almost like a father who care for his child. "Arial...if you worry about your family and for yourself, you dont need to go ahead with that path. Riza would not judge you, and I think she would understand your choice. Your family would not let you go like that."

Arial then touch the hand of Spirit and say with honest. "Thing is, I promise to find a way to revert her to her normal self, to become human. She feel ashamed in be a bug creature. If there is a slight chance to revert her form, I will go for it...But I still need to think in my decision." Arial then look at the godness of darkness and bow his head in respect. "Lady Zuryk, I would like to have a little conversation with my Pokemon. In the moments I feel in hard choices, my Pokemon is there to help me decide the better path. They also have the right to decide the future, and they always be with me...I a guy who make a lot of mistakes, so in that moments they are my will. Can I talk with them to decide what to do?"

As for me, I was left stunned with Arial sheer will. I close my eyes and smile. How much he grown up in such little time! He was not anymore the same goof madman who only think in himself. He became more wise and strong as a person. And make a lot of friends along in his path. I clap my hands to make Arial look at me. "I proud of you my boy. Lady Zuryk, you have say I could done so much more for him. Again you right. I shall give him something to help him in whatever path he choose between collect the Cursed Arms or face the beast." 

My eyes shine for a second with a golden light and with the palm of my hand I have summoned a little orb. "Thats is one of my gifts to you Arial CopyCat. Accept it." Then with a  finger I motion the orb in Arial direction, changing his clothes little by little. They change the colors scheme, taking a more dark schemes. When have ended, his clothes changed to someway similar to his original clothes, but with a more wild form, with cat details, and dark colors. "This my friend, its a special kind of cloth armor. Reiner himself have clothes made of Arbok skin, so in a way this clothes have a similar desigh. Those clothes is very sturdy and capable of resist strong strikes and impacts, and they might help you survive against the beast or Cursed Arms attacks."

"She is also fireproof, to avoid the same problem you once have when your clothes was burned twice, hehe. And they very much also light enough to give some freedom to dodge the attacks of the beast. After all your troubles and future ones, you will deserve and need a minimum protection."

"I shall call this outfit, Black Cat. Black Cat is even this days conected to give bad luck, mischief and dark secrets. They once conected to witches and with the unknow. This clothes its not supose give you bad luck, but instead give bad luck to future foes you might encounter in your path. And to symbolyze the deal you made with us. And your conection with power unknow to your world."

(Its basically a kind of clothes who give Arial +2, +3 or +4 in defense, your call and +2 In dex for him. Arial will need some extra defense and speed against the battle counter the beast or against Cursed Arm Users. Either one of the choices gonna be hard so he will need extra protection. Is this acceptable @Lord Windos and Zuryk? Your call in that decision)

"There is also another thing I would like to give you. Please show me the Pokeballs you have." Arial hesitated a bit then he show the Pokeballs of his six Pokemon. I touch the Pokeballs who shine for a bit. I close my eyes and make a prayer. "Its done. Gaspar have now access to Assist. He will able to speak perfect human language to have the chance to speak. Melchior and Baltazar will be able to have access to a thing I call "Fake Assist". They will be able to speak human language too, but they will not able to trully access the other powers of Assist, only the ability to speak human language. I remember you say once you miss the conversations you once have with you psychic brother, so I doing that for you and him once again have conversations. Alomola, Asura and Sekmet I dont know if is capable of speaking since there is still rules I need to follow (Your call on that @Lord Windos)."

"I will also see if I can give Gaspar a bit more mass. Even his transform abilities, he still weak in constitution to tank a few attacks. But thats not depend of me in that case but then again, you gonna face a difficult task ahead (Around +1 or +2 in HP Windos who once again its your call)." I look upon Zuryk. "Is aproved for you Zuryk?" I look in the "sky" this dark world holds. "Is this also aproved too my friend? You still the ruler of the world, so your decision is also important."
