1. Mew and Merchant
If ya hadn't done what ya did, getting her to this point might have been harder. Definitely wasn't a waste in my opinion. Thanks for the help. I'll keep ya posted.
All's well that ends well(?) indeed. For now, at least...
------------------------------------------------
2. Emily
One thing I'd like to note about that is Reiner probably wouldn't have said anything about Taylor...until right about now, after Emily's made her decision!
"...ya know, Emily, you remind me of an old friend of mine. I'm not entirely sure why, but from what I know of her, she did the exact same thing that you want to do: vanished without a trace. And she's damn good at it, too. I'll introduce ya in a bit. She's actually visiting right now, believe it or not. And with any luck, she can help us both get out of this crazy mess of a city. But be warned, as I've explained before, I've got a lot of deep seated family issues. This isn't going to be easy, and it will almost certainly be quite dangerous. Before we deal with that, though, I could use Porygon's help with a few somethings if you don't mind...and then once that's done and we've gotten out of here safely, then we can worry about what to do next. And I'm sure your parents won't give up hope that you're still out there somewhere. A good Dragon Tamer always keeps their promises, after all. Otherwise, we'd probably all end up munched and crunched by the beasties we're trying to tame! Hahahaha!!! Ha...ha...sorry, was that too much? Figured I'd try to lighten the mood a little for once."
Reiner promised he'd keep Emily safe, and he's not about to go back on his word now.
It's kinda weird to think that she looks up to him like a big brother, though. But at the same time, it's also kinda nice...
-----------------------------------------------
3. Safe's Contents
[Huh. Not quite what I was expecting to be hidden in that safe...at all. Kinda wish I'd had time to check it earlier, tbh...
...also, that Toxapex brings up some bad memories...I was wondering where Archie was keeping it since it wasn't on his person...figures that he wouldn't trust Bill's PC...but then again, Reiner probably doesn't either...]
[Technically, Silvally isn't even an Evolution lore wise. It just is mechanically because of how friendship is required to access its full power (via a properly working RKS system). I guess the energy output from 'evolving' could possibly be explained to be the reason the RKS system starts functioning properly, though?]
On one hand, great! This is all rather spectacular loot.
On the other...there's definitely some things that Reiner kinda wishes had stayed secret due to just how disturbing they are.
Reiner will leave the funding intact for now, if only to delay the inevitable discovery that Archie has gone missing. No reason to raise any more suspicion than necessary. Reiner may be rather stubborn with maintaining his values, but he's not dumb.
As for the pokemon...well, two of those are going to be kept in Reiner's possession. The Type: Null, however...secret project originally designed to combat Ultra Beasts or not, it seems there's one person who would be particularly well suited for taking care of it...
How ironic.
EDIT: *DONK!*
"What the...? Ow..."
Aaaaannnnd another Rare Candy has appeared out of nowhere for no apparent reason and hit Reiner straight upside the head...
Porygon's Response: ERROR - OBJECT SPAWNED FOR NO KNOWN REASON! QUERY: HOW? SOLUTION: N/A.....
"...I wouldn't worry about it too much, Porygon...that's actually the second time that's happened tonight...maybe the Fairy magic from Taylor's pokemon really did do something extra screwy or something..."
-----------------------------------------------
4. Kyubi
Well, this is embarrassing...
"...I can do the hug at least, Kyubi. If you HAVE to do the kiss...not on the lips, please. I'm...still not fully comfortable with anyone doing that. I'm pretty sure we'll meet again eventually, though."
And just before Reiner leaves the room after that one last goodbye (for now):
"I'll arrange for Mr. Mime to change the hotel's registry, at least temporarily. And also help ya out with funds, make sure you've got proper access to them. Just try not to overspend too much. I'll need to use those funds, too. And if anyone comes around asking about me, I'm supposed to be dead, so I hope you're good at acting. Because if certain people find out I'm alive, then we're both going to be in a world of trouble."
------------------------------------------------
5. Angelica
"...look, Angelica, hear me out a little. If you want to help me, I really do think it's best you stay here, at least for now. If you can monitor any particularly strange happenings for me in the city, that'd be swell. That, and if you were to just up and vanish with no warning...I'm pretty sure that would raise at least a few eyebrows among your coworkers. And I need to minimize all the potential exposure I can. One of my former superiors is incredibly good at sniffing out details, no matter how insignificant they might seem. I leave even one track, and he'll probably manage to find an entire trail somehow. I'll stay in touch, but make sure you keep it as discreet as you can manage since I'm trying to vanish."
Even though she responded in a rather...unnerving way, Reiner's still trying to reason this out with her, still trying to make this seem as normal as he can.
-----------------------------------------------
6. Hope
"You sure you want to be registered to a Great Ball, Hope? Mew didn't exactly get to choose when I registered her to a pokeball. I mean, she doesn't really mind it, but...*sigh*...well, I suppose I am giving you the choice, after all. If you want to be registered to a Great Ball, then so be it. Last chance to change your mind, though."
If Hope doesn't have any other preference, then I guess she's getting registered to a Great Ball. Reiner's going to have to restock on pokeballs pretty soon...
-----------------------------------------------
7. Valarie
"...when you've seen some of the stuff I have, Valarie, you start to rethink some of your life choices. Some, but maybe not all. I still have a few secrets, though, I can assure you of that. I better not find any bugs after I leave, however. I'm sure you've heard it a million times already, but you know too damn much for your own good already."
Don't have much to add to this beyond that.
-----------------------------------------------
8. Lindworm
"You've done a great deal for me already, regardless of what happened originally. You can count me as a friend. If we're going to change Blackthorn for the better, it's going to take more than just me, after all. An old friend of mine is visiting at the moment, and she should be able to help us get out of here. I'll introduce ya when it's time to leave, 'cuz we're leaving tonight before my cousin gets here and starts lookin' this place up and down to try and find whatever blew the NRF sky high. Be ready to leave soon."
------------------------------------------------
9. Alexandria
"Think nothing of it. Figured you could probably use a fresh start. With people like you on the job, maybe nuclear energy can be made safer and more efficient for use eventually."
-------------------------------------------------
10. Ending Scenes
Well, for starters, Reiner will be happy to report to Emily that Porygon did an excellent job. "They turned up a little something that I think you should open up, though. Some kind of failed experiment that was too dangerous for the scientists' own good. Seems to have an almost unremovable helmet on that restricts its power and keeps it from going fully berserk. Archie noted that it apparently gets along well with young kids, however. Probably wouldn't get along with most of my pokemon very well, either. Might be best to leave the pokemon, which they called Type: Null, in your care. Plus, the more pokemon you have, the more protection you'll have. 'Course, we're not going to know exactly how this pokemon might react until we actually meet it...I think we've still got a little time to experiment, though. And if it does turn out to be a little too dangerous, I can attempt to fight it off if recalling it doesn't seem to be working." Reiner's got no idea what those discs called Memories are for at the moment, so he'll hang on to those for now. (Particularly the Shadow and Nuclear ones...those just scream 'dangerous!' just because of their names alone.) Maybe he'll see if he can find more information on those items and Type: Null via the TUVEI later...
And then after that, it should finally be time to meet back up with Taylor! Just need the scene to be set up a little.
If ya hadn't done what ya did, getting her to this point might have been harder. Definitely wasn't a waste in my opinion. Thanks for the help. I'll keep ya posted.
