[Game Thread] Pokerole: Mount Coronet Mystery

[Lord Windos]

Spoiler

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.

In that case, Ran would still want to loan out Brigid to Rui, because they'd be able to cover for Scizors' Fire weakness and be able to support them and Espeon greatly with their own Fire power + After You. Having three Pokemon at hand for any situation is better than two, too!

"Don't over stress yourself trying to confirm it. If Rui's your name, it is, but if it isn't, we'll find something else to call ya later if ya prefer."

The bristly blacksmith has the decency to look politely apologetic to Sally for saddling her with translation duties again, but considering the new threat they just face, getting as much intel on it was more important than not pestering her about it.

"....*Sighs* Yeap, not a good bunch period. Both the Shadow Pokemon and the utterly depraved bastard that made'm. And where's there a few, there're probably a few dozen more loitering and lurking within and around Mt. Coronet. *Sighs* Well, at least we can rid them of their darkness by beating it out of them, so I guess it won't be too hard taking care of them - provided they don't do the job first to us."

Of course, this leaves Ran curious about the matter of Catching a Shadow Pokemon before they're Fainted. Would they be 'purified' by the act, or would they still remain Shadowized? Hmm....

Ran's asked all the questions he wants of both Rui and Espeon for now, so he's ready to head for the Stair and to the next Floor of Mt. Coronet. It's probably chock full of danger like this one was, but he and everyone else will make it. Hopefully.
