The Great Cookie Capers!

[Lord Windos]

--- Interlude ---


*has been unconscious the whole time due to Sable, and therefor did not notice being dragged to a pirate's ship and placed down in the bed of a cell there*

... *slowly but steady, finally beginns to awake, mostly because it was time, that ruccus that echoed from the ship's deck, and the close voice of that captain. Gently sits up in bed and carefully cleans eyes* Oh dear, what has happened... Did Windos order too much whine for us? I thought he knows that I don't take alcohol very well...

*with one glimpse on the blanket and the actual surroundings I realise that the place I currently am is not a familiar one... and at the sight of what seens to be a real pirate's captain I highly wonder what the hell is actually going on here* Thankfully, before I got a chance to react to everything, that Dusknoir appeared and "cleared the matters up"*

*as it afterwards silently hovers close to me, I  make attempts to touch it, but stops hand halfway, and talks to it in a calm voice* Well, thank you... There's only one person I know of owning your kind with such impressive skills on manipulating shadows... Does that, uh, mean that they're nearby... maybe? 

*rests my sight on it for a while, before turning my attention to the still shady, but no longer "intimidating shady" corner where the captain has been seen last* ... Too bad that guys's gone... Maybe he could tell me how to chainbreed Leaf Blade on Swabone. *notices the puzzled view I receive from that Dusknoir at these words* Ah, nevermind, even if he knew, why should he care to tell me? *gives it a slight smile*


(Ah, @Lord Windos, is that nickname of the Gengar a reference to what I think it is~?)

(You are not the only person that is into Harry Potter, my darling~)

*Dusknoir, after seeing his trainer's lover awaken, back away slightly from them, as to give them some space*

Relieved that the Chief is safe (Both for its sake and his masters), they calmly hear out Phantom's response. Beside the confusing question about breeding (Its a ghostly intermediary, damn it, not some zealous breeder maniac!), Thanatos was about to kindly answer their question...before the ship started to violently cave in on itself. What is going on in these open waters? No matter: act now, worry later!

*Reacting quickly, Thanatos summons the shadows around the ship, and uses them to form a cocoon of darkness around Phantom's cell, protecting the both of them*

*THRRRRRAAAAAAACKKKK* *BRRRRRRRAAAAAAACCKKKK* *SLAM SLAM* *FLOOOOOSH* *SWOOOOOOOOOORL* *RUUMMMBLE*

Once the shockwaves and sounds of destruction quieted down after a short, intense period, Thanatos dispels the darkness around the two of them, revealing that the chief's cell was one of many pieces of floatsum drifting on the waves. Looking around, it spots a Sableyes making a getaway on a Seikameter. Making motions to go after it, a voice calls out to the Dusknoir. "Thanatos, cease pursuit." Immediantly halting, it turn to face the voice of its master.

*On the largest piece of wreckage, weakly stands The Cookie Thief, along with his Golurk and Gengar, and the ranger that accompanied the Thief passed out, due to the necrotic haze*

While I would love nothing more than show that cut throat what a true Ghost type is capable of, now is not the for such activities. Seeing as we are drifting on the remains of a scuttled ship, surrounded by a menagerie of swash buckling pirates, their Pokémon, and an entire armada, I think prudence is the best course of action. Discersion is the better part of valor, after all. Let us depart for calmer waters, shall we?

*Nodding its head, Thanatos turns around, gently pick up his master's companion, and floats over to him*

Beside, I have gotten what I came for. A treasure so valuble, not all the pirate plunder in the world would make me part ways with it. At least, not for long. Well, time to go. Tally ho!

*A tear in space, created by his ghostly trio of Pokémon, opens up behind the group, and envelops them, transferring them safely away from the conflict*
