[Game Thread] Pokerole Mystery Dungeon: Primal Shadows

It's at this point that Karen shows up, and once the group brings her up to speed on what's going on, she's quite surprised!

"Wait, that voice was a pokemon trapped in a bottle?!  Well, we should probably let them out, right?  If they're going to help us, even better.  Though...is this really something we have to keep to ourselves?"

Oh, right, I should probably mention, but none of the townsfolk seem to be able to see the bottle, and they haven't ever responded to my cries for help either!  It could be smack dab in the middle of the town square, and they'd all walk right past it like it's not even there!  They might think you're a little crazy if you go around talking about this weird, magically resizing bottle with a pokemon trapped inside it that you found the other day.  But hey, that's not my business!  I just want to get out of here so I can get some good old fashioned revenge!  ...eventually.  Gotta figure out who did this to me first and determine how much I gotta train...

"...okay, well, when they put it like that, maybe we should keep this to ourselves...oh, by the way, Hawlucha asked me to keep an eye out for a weird, cat-like fire type with a tail that looks almost like fire.  He thinks there's a chance they might be related to the item he's looking for disappearing, but he doesn't have any proof.  He said he'd be very grateful if we could find out if they did have something to do with it, though."

But you're going to let me out of this bottle, right?  Right?  Please say you will.

"Uh...probably?"

Hey, as long as you're going to do so, that's fine by me!  I know how to handle myself in a fight and have a few neat tricks through my rings, so I can assure you that you won't be disappointed if you do!

"Okay, so...I guess we're taking the bottle with us?"

Well, it's either that, or you leave me here and find me again when the bottle magically reappears somewhere else in Sahra Town.  All that constant teleportation is really inconvenient, I tell you.  But seriously, the sooner I can get out of here, the better.  So please please please let me out.

New Item: Djinn's Bottle
Takes 1 inventory slot to carry (and is not consumed upon use, either)
While in a Mystery Dungeon, you can use an Action to open the bottle and let Hoopa out ().  You can also use an Action to force Hoopa to return to the bottle.  When reaching a new floor of the dungeon, Hoopa returns to the bottle automatically and must be rereleased.  If you lose the bottle, you leave the dungeon, or Hoopa faints, the bottle teleports back to a random location in Sahra Town and needs to be picked up again.  The bottle cannot be deposited in Kangaskhan Storage or sold.

Pyra didn't have much to say about the prior back and forth between this 'Hoopa' and her friends, as she already said her piece and made her decision regarding them. She could understand Kogeki's/Dax's caution, though, so she was content to letting them have their fill of questions for the bottled entity before letting it come with. Preventive measures are the best ones around, or so she thinks anyway!

Once everything was settled, the she-demon readily volunteered to carry the Djinn's Bottle, as she was highly interested in getting to know the trapped Pokemon after all the juicy secrets and capabilities they hinted/alluded to. Should she get it, the she-demon would give the top of the bottle a comforting pat and sunny smile, looking like her usual deceptively normal and cheerful self. Regardless, she'd say the following to it.

"Worry not and cease your worries, Confined and Captured Hoopa! Free you, release you from this glassy prison we will, and help you in your quest for strengthening and revenge against your evil jail, yes yes, and in turn you aid us in our efforts too! Hmm....curious about you, am I now, though, so if you be willing would you share more of your personal tale with us? Or if not that, if can not-will not, how about instead what kind of being of Pokemon you are? And what is this.....djinn you mention? That word has attracted my interest rather fiercely, indeed, so if you would sate it I would be in a mood most appreciatively!"

The potential favor towards Hawlucha gets the fiery demoness full approval, and own guarantee she'll keep an eye and ear out for such a nerdowell. A Pokemon in debt to the group was a valuable assest, most certainly, and solving the martial flapper's delimea would endear him to them-us and boost their reputation overall with the town!

As for the XGs purchase, I'll leave that scene to Kee/Phantom; his payment plan for it also gets my approval too! I have also reviewed my Storage, and I have the following Items with Pyra (which would be public knowledge, as she wouldn't keep this sort of stuff from her friends):

- 1 Oran, Pecha, and Persim Berry
- 1 Lob Orb (Its basically a explosive that can be used on a wide variety of things)
- 1 All-Revive Orb (Does as the name suggests, but it has to be used manually, and Revivers take presedent over it)
- 2 Apples and Geo Pebbles
- 1 Pecha Scarf (Equiped)
- 2 Tiny Reviver Seeds (In Bag)

Karen has at least a Oran and Reviver Seed on her, while the rest of what the group has is a mystery. With that said, I think buying a few more kinds or Apples and the Escape Orb would also be a good idea, especially the later if Kee gets the XGs since we should have a GTFO card so as not to lose all our precious loot like it. I'll leave that for Kee to decide, however, and he has permission to draw from Pyra's funds to make those sorts of purchases if he need be.
