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

[Iron]

Vernon deploys his sled and places three meals spaced out on the sled. Each meal is two Oran Berries and a Gourmet Food - exactly the same amount of each. There's a little extra space between the meal for the left head and the next one.


Whistling a tune ("Eye of the Flager"), Vernon ambles into the room (not trying to go for stealth, obviously) and presents the tray as if he were a butler. Assuming Dodrio is awake at this point, Vernon is just going to lock eyes with each of the edge-heads in turn (skipping middle). Vernon's body language says he would never back down from this challenge. Even if Dodrio were to lunge, he won't flinch. It's one piece of the camo-man's advice he's not taking - he's not ready to run. He has a separate plan if things go wrong.

"Hi, Dodrio. Sorry they've got you all pent up in here. I know what cabin fever is like - My name is Vernon, and I get antsy if I have to stay in one place too long. Sitting in a chair for half an hour, sleeping in the same bed a few nights in a row, taking the same path home from work... I don't vibe with any of that."

He points to his shoes. He's wearing his travel-worn shoes and outfit, their soles worn nearly smooth and with little holes in them. Munchlax of course has the boots.

"I'm a big traveler. I imagine you're a big runner? Most Dodrio are. Well, I *love* to work with fast Pokemon or far-traveling Pokemon. I was just surfing through the streets on a Lotad this morning! If you and I were buds, I'd enter you in every race, and if none were available, we'd invent our own! So that's the proposal I have."

"Join me in my journey, and I'll train you to race. I'll get you out of here and into a world where you have plenty of time to run every day. The food is yours either way."

Vernon has a hand on one of the Pokeballs on his belt. His other hand holds an empty Pokeball.
