[Game Thread] Pokerole Mystery Dungeon: Primal Shadows

[Dragonstrike]

Spoiler

The sparkly avian has to resist the urge to tilt her head at that small reaction from Keldeo. Do they have some sort of personal history with Virizion that made them so apprehensive and seemingly trouble adverse? Hmm....something to keep in mind for later, she supposes.

The gathering's excitement manages to bring a chipper smile to Platina's face, causing her to visibly brighten up and look emboldened and ready for adventure. She still had her own reservations and questions about.....well, every revelation she's received recently, but she can't let them keep her down, doing her part as a member of Team OS, and following her (non-Prophetic) dreams! Later she'll allow herself to decompress about it all and properly question her companions about....being human, but for now it was all business and focus on the immediate future of their missions!

Haxorus's interjection about this 'HAPPI's'  guidelines and manage their own organization's business doesn't fail to bring down her mood - regulations and standards exists for very good reasons, and shouldn't be ignored without equally good or just cause! Whatever inconvenience it causes is regrettable, but that is the way things have to be for everything to work smoothly and as intended. She's also happy the bladed warrior was also being considerate towards Team OS' primary objective, earning him and smile and nod. If only all Pokemon were so thoughtful and well-acting, then the world would be a better place.....though it would also be one were she has even less reason to be an Adventurer, so perhaps she should be more mindful herself of her own wishes.

Their propose solution earns another nod from the ironclad journeyer, prompting her to hop forward and puff up her chest, trying to become the new center of attention and strike a commanding figure.

"I, for one, am in complete agreement with Lord Haxorus. His compromise is sound, and it ensures nothing is left wanting and deficient in the process. As for whom else we should include in our own group, if I may be the one to make the selection..... *Looks to Kogeki and Kee* ?"

Presumably they agree or say nothing against her taking charge here (For convenience's sake and because we all agreed OOC in the Meta Thread, if nothing else), Platina's smile grows before turns to point at Emolga, taking an ever so slightly imperious tone as she did so.

"You, Sir Emolga. Our team would amply benefit from an talented Electric and Flying Pokemon's addition to it, and it would be nice to have another team member that can fly around like myself. Please, come join us for our mission, and tell us more about yourself and your own prowess (AKA: Tell me about your Moves, Strats, and Ability, if you would!). If you have any questions of your own about us, do feel free to share them. We need to know enough about each other to work together truly and well, or at least so I believe."

Keldeo's enthusiastic talk about Entracards gets the shiny bird's attention again, making her look at him again with renewed interest. "My, you're certainly passionate about the craft, are you not Sir Keldeo? Mind sharing some details about it, if it wouldn't be a bother? Entracards and what they can do are fascinating, and I'd like to know more about them, if for no other reason than to appease my curiosity."

Kee darting off to find and get....a strange bottle of sorts earns him a confused frown and tilt of her head, but for the moment she doesn't ask about it. Again, there will be time later to figure out what is going on with her human teammates, when everything is not so busy.

In regards to who is going to Lead the Team through the MD, Platina boldly declares she wants to be the one to do so. Her reasons? "Well, I simply want to prove that I am capable of the role. I do have a...talent for it, as you two *Points to Kee and Kogeki* already have seen. Beyond that....*Frowns* well, this mission holds some importance for me, for obvious reasons, so is it not proper I should shoulder the responsibility for it?"

Platina isn't going to be getting anything from the Markets nor change anything about her Inventory, so she's ready to begin the expedition into the Mystery Dungeon at anytime!

Kogeki was most silent for the time. He hear the voice of Hoopa and then he see at Kee kinda saying him he also hear the call of Hoopa.

He did also make his welcome way toward Emolga. "Welcome aboard Emolga. I hope you are ready for a possible dangerous adventure. You might broken a bone or two, but hey, we have healing items for this kinda of situation so you are safe...I think." 

"Aw yeah!  You won't regret that decision, promise!  Oh, but you okay with this, Dunsparce?  It'd mean we wouldn't be going to the Great Glacier together again."

"It's okay, Emolga.  I'm fine with minding the base."

"Alright, if you say so."

Platina's question catches Emolga off guard a bit, but it only takes him a moment to respond.  "Well, I'm able to use Spark, Acrobatics, and Quick Attack.  I like to fight fast and aggressively, so I never leave leave home without those moves, and my Static Ability often Paralyzes anything foolish enough to hit me directly if Spark hasn't done so already.  I usually leave most of the support to Espeon and Dunsparce, but I do have some free space for one move between Nuzzle, Light Screen, and Encore.  Any preferences for which of the three moves I should bring?  I can make a quick stop at Scraggy's Savvy Moves to swap my moves around if needed."

Keldeo's seems more than happy to talk about Entercards, but he hesitates before responding.  "I mean, yeah, sure, I could teach ya a bit about how they work and stuff, but maybe we should save that for later.  The sequences and concepts can be pretty complex and hard to explain, and we should probably focus on getting ready for our expedition to the Great Glacier for now.  Maybe I can show you a little if we get some downtime while we're exploring?"

As for Kogeki's comments to Emolga, the flying squirell crosses his arms and gives the riolu a cocky smile.  "Oh, don't worry.  This isn't my first time visting the Great Glacier.  You can trust me to be prepared."

~*Small flashforward to after our NPC companion and leader through the Great Glacier has been decided (neither of it will affect the following)*~


With things handled and decided, Ziggy Kee heads out on swift paws to prepare himself for another ADVENTURE!! in a Mystery Dungeon - seeing the significance behind visiting an icy place like that glacier ahead, he'll make sure to come in with enough resources and remedies to cover as many unpleasant situations as possible, heck yesss! ( ÒωÓ)و☆

Having arrived at the main plaza of Paradise, the crittercoon takes a moment to looks around and gather his thoughts - ah, Quagsire mentioned something about 'many shops and gardens down the east where the river runs', hasn't he...? Especially the wording of gardens spikes Kee's interest, so onwards to follow the river he goes to check these out! Hopefully there'll be some decent Berries and Seeds that he just cannot miss out on gathering or buying!!

Team OS heads to the riverside section of Paradise, where several pokemon seem to have set up stalls of various kinds.  There's quite a few different kinds of shops, some of which seem to be completely unique to Paradise!

- A Woobat seem to be selling keys of some kind (Detour Guide)
- A Pansage and a Foongus appear to be doing some gardening, tending to various plants as well as buying and selling berries and seeds (Berries and Seeds + Fields)
- A Pansear seems to be running a lottery service (Prize Palace)
- A Panpour is exchanging items for other items with visitors (Swap Shop)
- A Mienfoo is sparring with visitors, helping them train (Dojo) 
- A Pawniard appears to be peddling Orbs (Oodles of Orbs)
- Next to the river, a Starmie is advertising something about sunken treasure (Sunken Treasure)
- A Drilbur is advertising something about buried treasure (Diggers' Den)
- A Beartic has a completely frozen over stall and is advertising a game of skill (Beartic Slide)
- There's also an empty, fancy looking stall with a large sign that says 'CLOSED INDEFINITELY'
