[Game Thread] Pokerole Mystery Dungeon: Primal Shadows

[Dragonstrike]

It's right about now that everyone hears the doors to the guild's grand hall open and shut again, and when they turn to see who's leaving the room this time, they see that it's none other than Floette, accompanied by Guildmaster Delphox.

"Apologies for the delay.  Floette reminded me that I still need to speak to our guest, but I had to find the opportunity to pull myself away from rather important work before I could come see you all personally."

She looks around, observing who's present.  "Ah.  I see everyone is here, save for Team Artificers.  Where are they, Floette?"

"They left several minutes ago with the members of the Rescue Organization, Guildmaster.  They were talking about preparing for a trip to the Air Continent's Mt. Thunder."

"I see.  Well, I suppose that means they'll just have to be updated later if anything comes up.  Audino, how is our guest faring so far, and do we know anything about the cause of these storms?"

"Our guest, Platina the Rookidee, is in good physical shape.  A few bruises and burns from lightning strikes and the ocean tossing her about I presume, but doing just fine otherwise.  Nothing concrete on the cause of the storms yet, though Platina has reason to believe they might have been caused by a group of pokemon."

Delphox looks at Platina curiously, intrigued by what she's just heard, then takes a more thoughtful pose as she considers the implications.

"I also suspected that might be the case.  The only question is which pokemon...it's a start, though.  Maybe investigating areas where there have been storms recently will yield more clues.  I've read in this morning's paper that there's been several in unusual places on other continents as well.  I sincerely hope Braixen isn't mindlessly charging into them..."

Delphox focuses her gaze on Platina next.  "I was informed that you have lost someone as well.  Is that correct?  My guild's Teams will be scouring this continent searching for clues about the cause of these storms and my own daughter regardless, so you need not worry about a search party being organized.  If your companion is on this continent, they will be found.  I just need their physical description and name so I can distribute that information to the rest of the guild."

I'll assume that Platina readily provides the same information to Delphox that she just gave to the gathered Teams.  Delphox nods attentively.

"I see.  You said his name is Ray, Platina?  And what species of pokemon does he refer to himself as?  That also sounds like a rather important descriptor if we are to be searching for him."
