[Game Thread] Pokerole Mystery Dungeon: Primal Shadows

[Spiritmon]

Spoiler

With Gurdurr and Swannas' departures, that leaves Team OS with Espeon, Umbreon, and Hydreigon, and the conversation takes a more serious turn after Kogeki mentions that humans have been disappearing recently.

"Ah.  I see.  Yes, I can see why that would be concerning."

Espeon and Umbreon look a bit down.  "...our own team's human disappeared recently.  Sue, a human turned into a Raichu."

"Normally we wouldn't think much of it...she always came back, after all.  But..."

Hydreigon's smile is replaced with a much more serious looking expression now.  "I haven't heard from her in far too long.  Team Paradise's founder and Sue's partner, Haxorus, is very worried about her.  I think it was Virizion, Emolga, and Dusnaprce that saw her last.  They're currently at Paradise proper if you want to hear more."

Hydreigon seems intrigued by what Kee states about why Team OS is here as well, though Espeon and Umbreon just seem confused.  "A mission from Arceus, you say?  Now that's a name even I only barely know.  One does not simply just state the name of the Alpha without good reason.  Whatever your purpose here may be, if you need any assistance, know I'll be more than happy to offer guidance if I can be of help.  I'm guessing that's a more long term goal, though, given Espeon and Umbreons' confusion.  What brings you to the Mist Continent currently?"

Kogeki himself had another serious deadly tone. "Indeed. Thats what I fear indeed. So the disapearance of other Pokemon type like us has been happening. Someone or something is doing that. We dont know how long these disapearances is happening, or for what kind of benefit the kipnapers could have, but they have some either something against our kind, like a vendetta or something, or have a even greater plan. We will do our best to find your friend Sue while we doing our investigation, but I deeply suggest you not hold hope. We must always consider the worst scenario of your friend not be anymore in the land of living."

"Hope is something strong, but sometimes is the cruelest liar and killer." Kogeki serious face kind shifted to a more sad and hurted face, because these words somehow hurt him too. "And hope can even poison your soul, break your spirit to pieces and when you try to pick up the pieces of the spirit you once had...you could make yourself angered, spiteful and carry a pain far greater you can carry." Kogeki than try to change his tone of voice. "Sometimes, having to much hope is a mistake. All you can do is carry on, be strong, and do everything you got."

"I will do everything I can do to find your friend. As my code of honor demands it. I sworn to do it. Not because I a member of Delphox Guild. But in the name of my honor as a ninja."

He said those words with seriousness and conviction. Despite the grim possibility Kogeki words was before, he was determined to do everything he can to help those people. He might not remember the loss he had, but his soul and spirit remeber the price of having to much hope. How it can break someone and make hope become despair. And then transform despair to become hatred. Thats why he feel the weight of such words. 

Its like a old saying: The less expectations you have, the less you get yourself disapointed.

Kogeki doesnt know how the people in front of him will react to his words. He doesnt have social skills. He is just a honest man. Thats something his Pokemon side didnt take away when he get transformed into a Riolu.
