[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Lord Windos]

You step in and out of Keni's card, once without Brazen or Deoxys and once with.

The Mega Syrentide charges you 70 Energy to work on Deoxys. When she is done, the clone is more dull and unimaginative than before. It's docile, and for most people won't even move. It also doesn't bother to defend itself unless its entire existence is threatened. But for Terra, it will obey in slow moving fashion. I can't call it reluctant, for the clone displays no emotions and none of the arrogance (now) of its parent.

The other 10 energy is sent to Keni, though Syrentide doesn't say how much youth it would buy.

(Yes! Costly, but hopefully worth it! If not in battle, then at least with Terra's upcoming research)

*Minor Flashback!*

Terra is relieved that everything went according to plan with his Deoxys Clone, but seeing it so lethargic and listless does bring a pang of regret and self loathing to his heart. Seeing the Energy being ripped out enmass by his future research subjects doesn't do any favors for his conscious either. In the end, though, the sagely monk Steels his heart and accept what he had to do. The Deoxys Clone could not be allowed to remained untamed, and the potential good it could do for him, his friends, and all of humanity outweighed the sacrifices made for its Loyalty. Or at least he desperately wished it to be....

He'd approach its still form, regarding it stoically as he can, and simply say to it "Deoxys, you are my partner now. I will care for you, and you will care for me. Your name will be Gemini. For now on, you obey me, and only who I say. My and my friends lives are to be protected against what we consider is dangerous and untimely death, no matter what. No more harming or threatening humanity unless I say to, directly or indirectly. No destroying the environment or experimenting on Pokemon for research directly or indirectly, unless I say so. These Orders last forever, even if I die. Do you understand?"

Given how heavily Plot Deviced this thing is but what the group has seen of them in battle, it probably has its full Level Up Movepool, the average Clone HP, the ability to change Forms on the fly, and anything else you'd give it, right?

With his 'bond' to Gemini, can Terra determine if the reason for their slowness is due to the Enforce Loyalty, some other cause, or a combination of both? And do they have a connection to him, like they he/they did with Deoxys Prime?

If Brazen wants a favor in return for her aid, he'll give her free access to the Wishing Well whenever she requests and he is able to meet with her. Least he can do for this help and to keep quiet about this as much as she can!

As for Keni's age, somebody will figure that out eventually, because I imagine the party will meet up with him again sometime in the future. Also, the Energy Pokemon will be transfered to his lab , and the researchers there can get started organizing and finding out what to do with them (or coming up with ideas and suggesting to Terra and Jerry later).
