[Game Thread] Lord Windos’ PokeRole Adventure 2: The Wild Lands

[Dragonstrike]

"What sort of Pokemon or plants are you and the Professor looking for, Seddi? I wouldn't mind keeping my eyes open for 'em."

"All I have right now is general details, but if you're up for helpin' us out, I'm more than happy to share what I can.  The Professor and I might have more specific requests later, depending on how our research is goin'."

"The big things we're studying are the region's more dangerous fauna, especially the ones that are completely unknown in Paldea.  I can give you a list of Paradoxes we've found back home.  If you find something that isn't on that list, the Professor will probably be especially interested in it.  Even the ones that we've encountered in Paldea could be valuable study subjects though if their behavior is different enough from what we've observed of them in quarantine."

"Just be warned that Paradoxes are powerful creatures, even if they look fairly harmless and weak at a glance like with Scream Tail and Iron Bundle.  That Sand Crawler I caught is still young, but it looks to me like it's still about as strong as my regular team members.  A fully grown Paradox can go 1v1 with a well trained Pseudo-Legendary if they have a mind to.  And that's not even getting into the Malefic Monstrum.  Don't go picking fights you can't win on our account.  It's my job to handle Paradoxes, so don't hesitate to call me if anything comes up."

The list of typical Paldean Paradoxes and their supposed relations is as follows:

Spoiler

Past Paradoxes are typically named with descriptors of their appearance and capabilities.
- Scream Tail (Jigglypuff)
- Brute Bonnet (Amoongus)
- Slither Wing (Volcarona, but with some features similar to Larvesta)
- Great Tusk (Donphan)
- Sandy Shocks (Magneton)
- Flutter Mane (Misdreavus, Malefic Monstrum)
- Roaring Moon (Mega Salamence, Malefic Monstrum)

Future Paradoxes always have the word 'Iron' appended to the descriptor of their primary defining feature.
- Iron Bundle (Delibird)
- Iron Jugulis (Hydreigon)
- Iron Hands (Hariyama)
- Iron Treads (also Donphan)
- Iron Thorns (Tyranitar)
- Iron Moth (Volcarona, Malefic Monstrum)
- Iron Valiant (Mega Gardevoir x Mega Gallade, MM)

"Those are all the Non-Legendary ones we know of in Paldea.  I can't really speak about the Legendary ones besides Leaves here, but there's a good chance that more exist than what we have seen.  I'd be very surprised and impressed if you encountered any of them and survived to tell the tale."

...

...oh.

Oh no.

It's her.

The representative of the Free Magi and ruler of what remains of the White Forest.

Why is she here?!

This is bad.  Her being here could very quickly become a political disaster, let alone a more immediate problem.

[Leaves.  Don't.  Move.  The last thing we need to do right now is piss off an ally of both the mages and Enigma.  Let Bernhard handle this.  Looks like he's familiar with her.]

Seddi holds a hand out to keep Ceruledge back as well.  Even if this was a foe they could fight, it's not a fight they should pick.

Seddi will not speak unless spoken to.  He can't afford to take an unnecessary risk right now.

Not when that risk concerns Morgana, the Fairy Queen of Neo Unova.
