[Game Thread] Pokerole: Mount Coronet Mystery

[Lord Windos]

Spoiler

Zorn is gonna need a nice, loooooonnnnnggggg rest after that battle.  And the previous one.  He does, however, appreciate both the praise and the care after he nearly got bodied.  +1 Loyalty for Zorn.  Randolph seems to have this mostly figured out now.

Burn and Poison are easy to inflict, but the main question is how much damage Tyrantrum takes in the process.  If it's caught quickly, though, it probably won't matter...(can't Confuse a fainted 'mon, since they're not able to really perceive why they should be confused due to being unconscious.  Any attempts to do so would confuse the local wild pokemon, though)

Most of the wild pokemon scatter when Randolph mentions the possibility of another scary pokemon showing up.  A handful of them stick around, though.  Of particular note is a small, blue, partially humanoid pokemon with a finned tail.  It doesn't seem to be particularly strong at first glance, and appears to be rather shy and nervous.  But after seeing what Randolph accomplished, she can't help but leave the stream she's found herself in to look up at the small man curiously and...somewhat hopefully?  She appears to be holding an item with both hands, too.

An item that she's now holding up with outstretched arms and apparently offering to Randolph, a hopeful and admiring look in her eyes.



Btw, Randolph also gets another 2 exp for heroism!  That Tyrantrum could have been a real problem!  If not for the group, for the local wild pokemon!

Seeing his draconic partner so happy with him prompts a content *Sigh* from Ran as he gave them a light grin back and another pat on his leg.

"Alright, take a breather big guy. Next time I send ya out, it'll be for some quality time or hunting. I know you love fighting the toughest bastards 'round, but a break from that should be nice, yeah? *Chuckles* That, and we have to leave some for the rest of our partners to Beat Up, so they can try to grow strong as you."

*Beat*

"*Quietly*....Thank ya, Zorn. For all the hard work ya done for me, and for putting up with me too."

With that said, he returns and sends Zorn off the the PC/Nurses (Along with Tyrantrum, who'll be a girl if that matters) for some TLC, looking a lot more at ease now that the supermassive threat has been subdued and his bond with what was once his most ornery Pokemon almost completely solidify. He still has a bit of work before they completely trust him, but the two of them have reached a milestone in their relationship, and he's going to glad about it, damn it!

He's not surprised that most of the 'locals' scattered at his gruff comment, but seeing what appeared to be a siren timidly approaching and them presenting a Heart Scale for him, looking enamored with him after his 'heroic' takedown of the tyrant king....that caught him off guard a bit. It took a couple of seconds for him to recover, and a few more to study both the gift and the Pokemon presenting it, before letting out a small, kind chuckle and accepting the Heart Scale, crouching/leaning down a little to be more on their level.

"Well, this is an awfully nice gift, siren. *Nods* Thank ya kindly."

He gives them a small smile, trying not to be too nerve wracking for the sea sprite.

"Ya look a touch star-struck with me and my partner's Performance, don't you? *Chuckles* Not something I'm too used to, but it always make me feel good when someone appreciates me and my own's hard work."

Ran pauses to observe their reaction to his presence thus far, before carefully offering a hand to them.

"If ya interested, I'd be happy to have you part of my company. The mission I'm on right now isn't safe one iota, the life I live is often rough, and I'm hardly the best Trainer you could ever meet, but I promise you'd be well cared for, protected, and I'll do my utmost to see you have exactly the sort of life you want. How's that sound to ya, siren?"
