[Game Thread] Pokerole Mystery Dungeon: Primal Shadows

[no one]

Spoiler

Daxter finishes his meal, and then looks at the rest of the Pokemon in the restaurant, before his eyes set on Team Gallop. If he was to try and build some friendships, it might be a good idea to start there. Their leader was a little unpleasant in their first meeting, but it looked more like it was out of mistrust than malice. That was something Daxter could work with. He gets up with a wince and limps over to their table. "Hey guys. Don't know if you remember me, but we met in the dungeon that other time. We seem to have gotten off on the wrong foot, so I was hoping we could fix that or something. I'm new in town, and I don't want to end up with more enemies than friends. I'm Daxter."

Ponyta gives Daxter a very cautious, untrusting look.  "Yeah, I remember you.  You're one of the members of that team that tried to bribe us."

Blitzle interjects.  "Whoa, hey, hold on there, Ponyta.  I'm sure they had their reasons."

Ponyta shoots Blitzle a glare while Mudbray timidly stays out of the argument.  "Everyone has their reasons, Blitzle."

Blitzle stops talking after that, and Ponyta turns her attention back to Daxter.  She doesn't say anything right away, just gives the Charmander a rather judgemental stare.

Daxter frowns in confusion. "Wait, a bribe? Oh, crap, that was just a misunderstanding! We weren't trying to bribe you at all! We were just suggesting an alliance so that we could get through the dungeon a little more easily. And so that we could share the reward equally, of course. We really didn't mean to offend you guys! We were just trying to be polite and friendly. Wow, that might explain why you were so against working with us. Man, that sucks. I know you didn't want to team up with us last time because you thought that we couldn't help much cos we're so new, but I can promise you that we're not actually that bad. We've beaten our share of some of the tougher dudes too, actually. A Boldore and his gang of Roggenrola in the Dry Forest, and a nasty piece of work named Monferno in the Hall of Magic. Hell, we beat that Staravia dude, and a couple of his friends in a training dungeon today.

Sorry if that sounds like I'm boasting, definitely not my intention. Just trying to say that we're not that bad. We're new in town, and we don't have many allies, so I'd like to change that. At the very least, I'd like to be neutral with as many Pokemon as possible. Pointless animosity's not gonna get us anywhere, right? What do you say? Can we start over?"
