[Game Thread] Pokerole: Mount Coronet Mystery

"*Tsks* Figured she'd have an adverse reaction to it, but not to the point of threatening to going off the leash to get at them Gyarados. That could be a problem if we face more Pokemon like them - which considering our luck, we probably will or face worse threats of similar caliber - but you can probably coach her reaction to it now that you're aware, right?"

(...)

"Huh....now that you mention it, that sounds about right from my experience. *Sighs* Well, however them Gyarados learnt those Moves, be it from us expelling their darkness of not, they know'm now, so no point in fretting over it for much longer 'till we get more information about the mechanics behind it."

"*Smiles* Hehe, glad ya like your name, Paula. *Looks Thoughtful* You know, we have a professional musician in our merry band of adventurers, so if you want to refine your talent we can see if he can give a few pointers. He also has a Primarina that's a singer like yourself, but she's a real snooty elitist sort of Pokemon that takes competition poorly, so I don't know how much help she'll be. On my end I got a Chatot named Beethoven that has learnt plenty of songs, diddies, rhymes, and a bunch of other lyrical nonsense and he's rather friendly too, so if you wanting for more material to work with he'll be happy to work with ya."

If Scizors has Silver Wind, they could've also spammed it until they gained a + 1 Insight Boost from it to be Passed along to the reverse WHO , but I suppose that probably doesn't matter anymore.

Upon learning she indeed doesn't have any Pokemon to call her own, the scuffy smith couldn't help but pinch the bridge of his nose in vexation and heave a unhappy *Sigh....*

"I had a feeling you might say that. Blast Burn it all into ashes and soot.... *Sighs* Well, it can't be helped. I'll lend ya a couple of my Pokemon, until we can help you catch some for yourself. It'll cut into my avaliable stock, but I'll be damn and burned at the stack if I'm going to let you travel with us without some form of protection."

If she doesn't object (Or Lucas doesn't step in to help out here / lend some Pokemon of his own), Ran will hand over Brigid and Beethoven for her to use for the time being, leaving him with Diam, Paula, Stymph, and Borreal as his active Party for the time being. Make no mistake, he loathes have to loan his own partners out, but he can't in good conscious leave the ginger lass bereft of critically needed support. And between that Espeon, Brigid, and Beethoven, the lass will be very well cared for indeed!

When Sally returns and shares what she learnt from the empathetic guardian, that raises more than a few alarms and questions in his head.

"So ya name's Rui?  Hmm.... (Has he heard of that name before from any importnat peole? He's fairly well read, and tries to constantly keep up with events as they happen in the world, so if she's important....) "

"...So that's what those Gyarados were. Judging by the name and their behavior, they're not exactly the nicest sort of critter I guess. Anything else you know about them, Espeon? And do you think your Trainer Wess got transported here along with ya and Rui?"

"Yup."  Lucas leaves the topic of Sally at that.

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

Paula listens attentively as Randolph describes all the other musical pokemon in the group.  She not sure if they'd all be pleasant to meet, but she's open to the idea.

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

Scizor does not have Silver Wind, unfortunately.  He's a physical attacker, so he didn't spend much time training his Special techniques.

Speaking of Scizor, he volunteers to stick with Rui for now since the only other pokemon she has to keep her company is Espeon.  Between him and Espeon, they can probably keep her safe.  Randolph doesn't have to loan his pokemon if he doesn't wish to.

"...Rui, Rui...I think that sounds about right...it's still hard to remember..."

*rolls*

Randolph doesn't recognize the name Rui, nor Wes.  If they're important, nobody's been talking about them (or at least, not the people Randolph usually talks to).  Lucas doesn't seem to recognize the name either, but he is thinking pretty hard about whether he might have heard something somewhere at some point...

When Randolph asks Espeon more questions, he looks at Sally, and she sighs as she has to play translator again.  Shadow Pokemon are near emotionless, vicious, and merciless creations, typically created to take advantage of the sheer power and variety of their moves and their willingness to attack anything and everything.  They are not natural by any means.  Something had to make them.  Espeon's surprised to see some are showing up here, though.  He thought that they had eliminated the last of them years ago.  He's particularly concerned because he's not sure Wes came with them to this place.  He's confident he'd know if his trainer is nearby.
