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 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."

I applauded the puppeteer for his kernal of insight, releasing my wine glass and letting it stand in the air as I did so.

"Bravo, Spirit, bravo! Always appreciate a flair for the patriarchal in guidance given, especially when it compliment the advice given so well! Hehehe....it helps that he's correct too, Arial, but do remember that he may not necessarily be right. Only you can decide what's right or wrong, good or bad, no matter how informed your judgement is....."

Your request I entertain in silence for a minute, twirling with my glass and staring at it with a thoughtful smirk, before I look back to you and nod.

"Very well. Converse with your family.......and give me your choice afterwards. This night, winding and eventful as it may be, will not last forever, and I rather have an answer soon so I have the rest of it to plan and do. My horrible little sister's blow up performance shook things up for me in a very pleasant way, so I'd like to take prompt advantage of the boon she invariably gifted me. Well, more than I already have, anyway. It is so good to be back, and its all thanks to her and the deal poor hamster was forced to make with me, hehehehe......"

Since I'm in control of the narrative, allow me to abridge events for the player and myself, for I was not jesting with my desire to speed this meeting to its conclusion: All of the little jester's Pokemon agree with and supports his decision to transform dear Riza back into a human, and the choices that need be made as the required cost - Even Transmigration, however reluctant they are with the idea -, in their own fashion. 

All except for Gaspar, who is quite vehemently against any course of action that endangers you or the rest of their family for the sake of that (to them) vile, kidnapping, and murderous vamp. Of course, he'll help you regardless if you make a choice, but he will be thoroughly unhappy and unpleasant about it, which would translate to.....mmm.....about a point loss of 1 Happiness and 1 Loyalty each. If you hadn't asked him for his blessing or informed him about things, then he'd not suffer a loss of faith after he became aware you made a choice, since it has already been done and getting furiously weepy over spilled milk is an utter waste for the metamorphic kitten. The more you know....

Admittedly I was a tad bit surprised when you actually leap to my challenge in such a way, and with in such.....initiative as well. It was......gratifying.

I couldn't help myself: I burst into a fit of laughter, giggles, and cackling, slapping my knee and spilling some of my wine onto my dress, staining it a deep, rich crimson.

"HehehehehehehehAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Myself, you ARE the gift that keeps on giving, Spirit! Never ceasing to amuse, and never failing to do something unexpected but fun! Oh what a treat, ha..... Hm.....well, I know Windos wouldn't allow such blatant tampering and god modding on their watch without prior consent, but they not in control of this meeting. I am. And I like what you've done. I'll allow The Black Cat Attire to be imbued with the power - some of my power - of toughness and a bit of quickening, provided Arial actually makes a choice rather than decline them. I can be generous in my dealings, but like many a business, I do expect some return on my investments. Its the whole principle behind this meeting, after all. Plus, I recall giving a gift of similar nature to the drake for his.....enrollment into my services, so its only fair I do the same for you Arial...."

(Said toughness and quickening will translate to + 2 Defense, + 1 DEX, and the user gaining an Immunity to Fire type and 'Burning' Moves - hehehe, well, for the most part. Powerful enough flames or scorching can overcome the protection, so he won't be making a vacation to the sun with his attire anytime soon - or not come back alive, at any rate.)

When it come to the empowerment of the little jester's Pokemon, though, I stopped smiling and shake my head, my expression the perfect picture of polite refusal.


"Hmm....unfortunately, I can not all allow the rest of the gifts you offer, Spirit. Or, to put it another way, consider your prayers to be unanswered. I don't envision a need for Arial to truly communicate with his family, or at least not so immediately. If he wants that boon, then he or you will have to arrange a separate deal for it." Claps!* "That is that."

"As for Gaspar, I can not give him more bulk to Transform with either, as he's completely against voluntarily participating in their brother's choices. I will not give power to those that have not earned it, or if they are not doing a service for me of their own will that requires my aid. Fair is fair, no?"

(I put things short to quick this meeting)

- I make acceptance and understable face to Zuryk and bow my head in respect. "I understand. Thank you for allowing the Black Cat Attire for Arial use."

- Arial make a *sigh* when he witness Gaspar grudge and opinion. "Things just getting worse and worse. I just hope I may be able rebond with my brother later." I aproach my boy and put a hand in his shoulder. "Family its a complicated thing my boy. But he is still your brother. And brother dont agree all times. Give him some time and then things might be okay. You are brothers despite this crazy situation. And you love each with a strong brotherhood. Have hope." I pat the shoulder of Arial and let him make his decision.

Arial put some time and though to think about the path to make and he finally to a conclusion. He look upon the Goodness of Darkness and finally spoke. "Lady, I make my decision. I may regret that later but I choose...Transgress. I know maybe Transferal would be a better choice, but it would take more time to acomplished. Fighting the beast with Riza, her Pokemon, my Pokemon and your help perhaps I may be able to fight against such beast. Besides, my Pokemon didnt get to much chance to shiny in the Nuclear Factory so thats a good chance to do it. I have one final question before we head there: Can my Pokemon prepare their buffs before we head there or we going there like right now? And of course swap a few items. Dont want to go unprepared."
