[Game Thread] Pokerole Mystery Dungeon: Primal Shadows

[Lord Windos]

Spoiler

Eventually, the fiendess slowly adverted her gaze from Zoroark, looking around the room tiredly for something else to focus on, right before he gaze landed onto the poor Zorua she literally scared stiff. A strange whim suddenly overtook her, and out of a total lack of other feeling or reason against she decided to head it, walking right over to it, looming over its Fainted form. Then, with surprising gentleness, Pyra picked them up in both claws, looked them over blankly, and attempted to give them a strong but not rough shake. If you asked her why she was trying to wake up the fox kit she badly spooked, she wouldn't have an answer - she just felt like it, and so she did.

It doesn't take long for the Zorua to stir after Pyra starts shaking them.  "...mmmmm...just 5 more minutes mom..."

They open their eyes.  Blink.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!"

They start struggling and attempt to wiggle out of Pyra's grip.  Does Pyra let them go or try to hold on?

As Kogeki holds his bone decorated paw out and exerts his influence, a shadow leaps from Zoroark's body to Kogeki's hand, enveloping it.

Kogeki suddenly finds himself in the same situation Zoroark was just in as she goes quiet and slips into unconsciousness once more.  The riolu cringes as his muscles tighten involuntarily and the shadowy energy seeps into his bones.

Kogeki's Primal increases to 1. (no increases or decreases anywhere else)

Kogeki learns Shadow Blitz! 

Accuracy: Dexterity+Fight+Brawl
Damage: Strength+1
Effectiveness: Super Effective against non-Shadow pokemon, Not Very Effective against Shadow pokemon

Kogeki collapses to his knees as Karen and Marcus run over to him, looking quite worried.

"Kogeki!!  Are you okay!?"



"What the heck just happened to you?  What did you do?"

Kogeki feels this urge to feed more, to drain more auras, but he's also completely exhausted, barely able to move.  The rush of power felt amazing at first, but that shadowy energy...it felt like it was simultaneously draining his energy as well, eating away at his sense of self.

When he looks at his paw, though, he can see a slight aura of shadow enveloping it.  As if it's now a part of him.

And he has a feeling he can use it as a weapon, a new move to smite his enemies with.

(.....I'm....just going to have Pyra ignore what just happened, because if I don't she's liable to want to Faint Kogeki for what he did, if not outright chop off Kogeki's arm that holds The Darkness)

Pyra remains unphased by the suddenly screaming fox kit, keeping her grip tight on its scruff as she let out a small *sigh* and shook them a bit more to make them stop.

"Calm down, little one. Our battle with you and your kin is over. My group and I mean no harm to you now. I simply have some......questions to ask you, that is all."

If he persists in his freak-out, she'll attempt another Intimidation Check to get them to 'calm them down' , so to speak. This whole engagement also prevents her from noticing what happened to Kogeki, and if the group is smart and observative enough they would endeavor to keep it that way, least they want to find out how willing the demoness was to attack a team mate inflicted with The Darkness.
