[Game Thread] Pokerole Mystery Dungeon: Primal Shadows

[Dragonstrike]

When Kogeki blacks out briefly, he dreams.  He's not in the Glacial Ruins anymore.  Somewhere sunny.  Isolated.

Religious.

He finds himself in a clearing in an unfamiliar place.  The sky above is clear.  Peaceful.  Serene.

Surrounding him are pillars of stone and rock.  Four of them.  Above each, a swirl of wind and energy.  One with water.  One with heat.  One with leaves and lightning.  And one with snowflakes that surely should be melting and yet aren't.  Writing adorns each stone, perhaps detailing their purpose or what they represent.  But Kogeki does not have the time to analyze them more closely.

The sky is suddenly not clear.  It clouds over, the sky becoming a dark shadow as black clouds block out the light.  Bolts of black lightning strike three of the pillars.  The fourth, the one with water swirling above it in the wind, goes untouched.  But the energy above it simply vanishes.  The remaining three localized storms take on a dark, shadowy tint.

And Kogeki hears a low growling coming from the treeline surrounding the shrine.

"Grrrrrrrrrrrr...."

Just as suddenly, Kogeki finds himself somewhere else again.  An undefined space, a place of swirling colors and memories, sights and sounds both old and new.

World of Memories: Benevolent Spirit - PMD: Rescue Team DX

As he tries to figure out what this all means, he finds that someone is behind him.

"Well, you're certainly a conflicted individual, aren't you?  So much turmoil, darkness and light...all wrapped up in one small creature..."

The voice is feminine, and the surroundings suddenly go from being a rainbow to primarily shades of pink and purple as Kogeki sees a strange yet familiar sight.  Floating on a cloud much like Tornadus had been before his transformation is a pink, humanoid being with her hair wrapped in a heart shape and a giant snake with heart shaped eyes and spots wrapped around her body.  The tail end of the snake disappers into the back of the cloud, so it might also be a tail?  But it moves and acts like a snake, so it's unclear if it's actually a separate creature or not.  

The individual's so reminiscent of the Legendary that Team Omega Seekers just faced, and yet...there's something different about her.

The pokemon floats closer to Kogeki and offers him a hand.  Her voice is smooth, gentle.  Almost flirtatious.

"I am Enamorus.  Come, walk with me.  I am sure you have questions about what you have just seen."

It's like there's a gentle, loving aura surrounding her that none in her presence can escape.  Being in Enamorus's presence is almost intoxicating, possibly even a little stifling, especially for a pokemon as sensitive to emotions as a Riolu.
