[Game Thread] Pokerole Mystery Dungeon: Primal Shadows

[Dragonstrike]

"The Seasonal Shrine.  It was suddenly overtaken by dark, shadowy weather one day.  Drove almost all of the Incarnates wild.  Only one escaped.  I barely remember it happening..."

"The... 'Primal Shadow'." Karen says, to no one in particular.

To Zeraora, she repeats Xatu's Prophecy,

copypasta

Disturb not the harmony of Fire, Water, Ice, nor Lightning, lest these spirits wreak destruction upon the lands in which they run to and fro.
Though the sky's great guardian has descended to quell the fighting, alone its efforts have failed. Thus the world shall be blanketed in Shadows.
Oh Chosen Ones, by thine hands, bring together all four. Their powers combined shall help tame the Beast of War.

and says, "I think Raikou is the Lightning we are looking for..."

To Thundurus:
"Which one escaped, and where can we find the one that didn't?"

Daxter's eyes narrow. "Well, good thing we took you down then. Wonder if your mates also went berserk and attacked people."

Daxter then turns to Braixen. "Now I've gotta ask. What were you thinking, love? Running off without a word, forcing your mum to send teams all over the bloody world... She hides it well but she's probably driving herself insane. Just curious. Why?"

Zeraora gives Karen a confused and skeptical look when she recites that prophecy.  They recognize Xatu's name, at least.  "From the description of the spirits' behavior, it certainly sounds like it might be describing Lord Raikou and his contemporaries.  You'll have to forgive me if that all seems to be a bit far fetched though.  For a prophecy from Xatu, it seems to be a bit lacking in the...prophetic department.  It sounds like it's talking about something that already happened.  Not to mention that Lord Raikou is a member of a trio, and this prophecy is clearly talking about a quartet.  Even if it is referring to Lord Raikou, Lord Entei, and Lady Suicune, the presence of an Ice aligned spirit calls the entire involvement of the Legendary Beasts into question."

"Enamorus managed to get away.  Landorus took the brunt of the assault.  Tornadus and I were merely clipped by the energy.  I shudder to think what it's done to Landorus in the time I've been away..."

"Landorus is likely still at the Seasonal Shrine on the Island of Storms.  He is not as prone to wandering as myself and Tornadus.  I imagine Tornadus did fly off somewhere to cause trouble though."

-------------------------

Braixen sighs when Daxter directs questions at her.  "Alright, alright.  Cat's out of the bag now I guess.  Look, to start, Delphox is not my mom, okay?  As someone blurted out without thinking (Braixen glares at Thundurus as she says that), I'm a human.  Just like you apparently. Not sure why exactly you decided to keep that little fact to yourself, but no point in either of us hiding it from each other now.  We both saw what our attacks did to that barrier."

Braixen starts pacing, much like she was doing back in the guild.  "I've been here for...what?  Two, three years I think?  The Guildmaster found me washed up on Sahra Town's shores around then.  I was still a Fenniken then, and I'd mostly forgotten what my human life was like.  Still don't remember much really.  She took me in though, made sure I had a place to stay.  Never really asked for much.  The one condition she had was I keep my identity a secret.  Said it was 'for my own good'.  Didn't take her long to come up with that story about me being her daughter to 'protect me'."

She suddenly stops in place and stomps her foot in frustration.  "I don't get that honestly!  I've heard so many stories of humans saving this world!  Why is Sahra Town so paranoid about them, huh?!  I'm tired of feeling like a burden!  I have to be here for some reason!  You're human too.  What makes you so different from me?  Why do I have to stay cooped up in the guild, hiding from the world while it's obviously in trouble?!"

Her ears droop as she sits down, collapsing into a semi-depressed heap of fur.  "...sorry.  You probably didn't want to hear my life story.  Or at least, what I remember of it..."
