Celadon City Post-Campaigh: Arial

[Lord Windos]

Spoiler

"Who knows brother? The future is a mystery. Like a old once said: Yesterday is history. The tomorrow a mystery. But today is blessing. Thats why is called present. I bet someday brother they will make giant Pokemon too. We already have Mega Evolutions and Z-Moves. Next evolution will be giant Magikarp. And if thats is possible, than someone beat Team Rocket is possible. But leave that mission to other people. I am no hero, and I a selfish human who only care for my family. Leave some dummies fight crime."

Arial shake his hands. "Dont worry brother, from now on things will be better. Eveything what must to happen...already happens." Arial last words kind echo though the building, almost a challenge to the universe. "Huh, didnt know this place was perfect for echo."

Arial nod his head in agreement of the plans. "Sounds a awesome plan to me. And best thing is, we have a super magnetic with us to help gather the treasure." Arial point to Zeus. "With his help, find treasures will be a peace of cake. And fighting trainers will not be difficult. We beat a Light God for Actan sake, so beating kids and take away their lunch money will be easier than steal candy from children. Besides, your new Legendary Body make you almost unstapable. But no Solgaleo form. You need to keep your appearance of Duplicat while we battle. And you kinda need some warm up too and put into use some of your new powers."

Before Arial could reply to Gaspar, Arial felt the shiver in his spine, along with the voice of his head. And seeing his brother reaction, Arial could pick up his brother also felt that. After some seconds, Arial recomponses himself and talk.

"So...let me guess. You are Giratina aren't you? Honest, you almost gave me and my brother a heart attack. No one likes get startled. Well, maybe those people who like watch horror movies, but thats another topic. After meeting some Legendaries, hear the voice from the godness of death is no surprise. Mew, Buzzwole, Solgaleo and Necrozma kinda already show me enough proof Legendary do exist."

''Are you gonna just talk with us like that? From experience when a Legendary notice you and talk with the way you talk, its because they want to have a chat. So are you do some sort of entrace for me and my brother talk with you, or are gonna keep this telepathic conversation?"

Arial send a message back to Deborah/Lucille.

'Yep. Thats me. Its Arial by the way. Thank you for the help by the way. Returning to Tandor after so much time is nice, but have such great warm welcome from the Champion and their family? Now thats what I call a awesome comeback heh. Again, thanks for all the help.''

'But...I suppose you dont want to talk about that. Is there something else you want to talk about?'

Just for curiosity Windos, how Arial know it is Lucille and not Viktor, or worse, Kellyn using her phone? It is possible to roll some dice to see that? Because, Arial is literally walking in thin ice.

Ever the skeptic, your brother looks supremely doubtful about your hopes for Team Rocket's destruction in the future , near or far, but he happily, enthusiastically, nods at your selfish wish to stay the hell out of that business. The less disaster, trouble, or lucky breaks you and the family stays out of, the better off they'll all be! Like you said it yourself, you and them are no heroes, so leave the thankless task of making the world a better place to nobler and/or naively stupid and/or stupidly naive people!

You hopeful words made ominous does earn you a worried look from everyone in the room and not just Gaspar, but they all settle down soon enough, having faith you'll see them through to a better future (Arial's Pokemon), or just plain unbothered if things do go wrong, as they can handle themselves just fine in sticky situations (Riza's Pokemon).

Speaking of which, Gaspar's plan to visit Seikamater for guidance has earned you the quiet attention of your fiance's hive, and when you more or less apparent you were going through with it eventually, their approval too. Dragonfighter and Blooderfly seemed almost excited at the prospects of a reunion with the Hive Queen of Tandor, while Buzz Burner appeared aloofly interested in meeting with them. Insectspector.....you couldn't really tell how they felt beyond their approval, and what felt like.....relief?


Your magnificent leo has a somewhat similar reaction to your approval for Seikamater plan when you approve of his beach hunt scheme (bemused, paranoid happiness), and he easily agreed with your request to remain in Duplicat form. Not only did he feel marginally more comfortable in it, but he does not want to attract the sort of attention his new true form would bring. Would kinda defeat the point of all their scheming and plans to remove incognito if he strutted around the beach and totally pwned Trainers as a Legendary, you know?

When you spoke aloud to what you thought was the Renegade Goddess herself, you and Gaspar suddenly feel a strong, [u]otherwordly[/i] wave of shock and surprise crash into you two, causing you both to stagger just a bit before you righted yourselfs
Ah!! You....Heard Me, My Friend's Dark Disciple? My Musing On What You Drew To My Attention....? Intentionally, Or Not....? .....Strange.....And Intriguing. How.....?
Again, you heard that voice of what you and your brother now strongly suspect is Giratina herself. From what you can deduce, it appears she's just as taken aback as you were for being able to hear her comments, let along detect her presence. You also had the uncanny feeling that the Goddess of The Underworld has a habit of talking to herself , from what little interaction you've had with her.
....Hm....A Mystery To Determine Later, If You Do Not Have The Answer For It. Yes, I Am Giratina. You Spoke My Name, And So You Called Me And My Attention. Rare Is It That One Notices Me, Without Revealing Myself To My Petitioner. Rarer Still.....That One Hold No Fear For Me. In Body, Mind, Or Soul..... Strange.....Very Strange You Are Indeed.....
You sense her interest in you, as well as.....curiosity and wonder about you too?
......I Did Not Intend To Speak With You. Nor Do I Think You Intended To Summon, Hear, And Speak With Me.... An Unexpected Surprise.....But A Not Unpleasant One. For Now, For However Long We Do So.....We Shall Talk With Each Other As We Do So Now..... I Have.....Other Business, That Requires My Constant Physical Presence. Now....And Later. .....So.....I Ask You Arial....What Is It That Made You Call Me...? And Why Do You Know, And Speak, So Candidly Of The Morningstar....?
......Well, you don't know how you managed to do it, but you got yourself an open line to Giratina herself, whom now seems to hold an inordinate amount of interest in you. You could see your brother shoot you a semi-exsaperate, semi-increadulous look for this event and mouthed 'How on [i]earth did you cause this?!' 

Gaspar was right: you luck really was the worst. Or best, depending on how you look at it.

*Rolls*

Based on your brief interactions with her family, you can say with confidance that it is indeed Lucille texting you. Kellyn would have been more direct and interrogative right off the bat with his messages, while Viktor would be far more personable and chatty.

Your fairly upbeat response to her message causes a considerable delay with her next one, which even a somewhat socially inept person as yourself can tell was a sign you caught her off guard.

'....I suppose you are welcome, Arial. And no, I would rather not talk about my family with you. Not until I can access and determine some things about you. To start, how did you know who I was, and why did you choose to remain quiet about it? Recognizing a person of past but infamous ill-repute would have put most on guard, at the very least. But not you. '[/i]
