Arial have stopped to think about the options he have. "So...either I die, take servitude until I grab four more C.A. or slay a literally behemoth creature capable of destroying the world..."

"Well, for starters, the first option looks pretty easy, but I do not want to die or reborn again. I have passed though enough death to come here. And I die one time and get revive, and I almost die in the Nuclear Facility, so death its not a very much good thing. And I of course dont want to depart from my family or Riza."

"The collect of Cursed Arms looks like a more acceptable choice. Since you have Mamudo Eclipse with you, I supose you have the "other" Cursed Arms Reiner left in the Facility." With that I have speak my voice. "He does have a point. If I recall, according to the Cursed Arm Compilation, Reiner have collect three other Cursed Arms along with Mamudo Eclipse: T.P.K, Residuam Culidae and Megido Revelation. I supose those three its availabe to Arial collect, or threre is other ones to collect?" It was Arial turn to talk. "Not to mention I have zero idea about where to find the fourth Cursed Arm person. Not to mention I have no strong skills to face a Cursed User without a Cursed Arm. Reiner have his own skills as a Choosen One and have a Legendary in his side, and even him have problems. Unless you know the location of that person?"

"About that monster...no offense lady but I not exatcly what you could call a powerfull fighter. I almost get died fighting a group of Nuclear Rodents, and I not very much confident I could actually win a battle against such beast, even with having the help of goodness in my side. Nor I think my family would accept fight such battle to make Riza human again with the risk of their lifes...including my brother Gaspar who dont like her at all...I would need to ask their thoughs before go in such decision. I do love Riza a lot, but I also love my family and I already put them in enough dangers because of my foolishes journeys. Besides, I not some kind of super hero or anything like that. I still hate humanity with all my guts, and for what I care they can die, with the exception of a few individuals....But I do care for the Pokemon only, so thats something to discuss."

"So I maybe inclined to the second and third options. But I have a few questions its lurking in my mess of head: About the second option, I could get the other three Cursed Arms Reiner might have left there, and I get some info about the location of a "easier" Cursed Arm User to get his weapon, who I wish it is not Alice because she would kill me for the look of it. And about the third option: If I die or any Pokemon of mine die in the battle against that beast, they will still dead after the battle, or if you could...revive them. I know its a lot to ask, but they are like family to me. And what is the details of that "Armageddon" Monster you mentioned?"

"In essence: yes! Nicely put, if lacking in nuance."

*Shrugs with a grin*

"Fair enough. I honestly didn't think you would entertain the notion of Transmigration, but I had to to include it for various reasons. If it make it anymore appealing, if you were to Transmigrate, dear Riza and your Pokemon would still have their connections with you. I've said this before, but not so clearly. Given the nature and power of said bonds, I'd also imagine that sooner or later the cuddlebug and your family would track down your new self. I'll even inform them of what happened, so they'd know to start hunting. The red strings of fate can be ever so difficult to sever, as with blood ties and others that bind, hehehe..... To put it even more simply, the new you would most definitely be able to re-establish your relationships with Riza and your family, though not without significant alterations. After all, though your SOUL will be the same, the memories between you are not."

I grin as you again figure things out on your own, refilling my wine glass with a *Snap!* and holding out to you briefly.

"Indeed, and correct! Grab yourself a drink, and we can toast to you deductive reasoning skill, hehehehe! As for you Spirit......your first assumption is a strike out, but your second hit it out of the park. There is one more Cursed Arm in the city, and three rest are scattered throughout the world. I do know that three are or will be located in Jhoto, and if we count the little devil herself, that's two more for you to forcibly collect, though I wouldn't recommend that later course of action. At least, not currently. The little devil is a sweet heart, but she has more than earned her title and legends over the centuries. Might be possible to make a bargain of some sort to get them, or her assistance in hunting down the rest of the Cursed Arms even, but those paths are riff with dangers of their own, needless to say. Hehehehe....."

Once I finish laughing at all the though of all the fun of the little jester teaming up with the most darling and most deadliest little girl ever, I continued informing him of his choices.

"If you accept Transferal, I'll do you a small boon and tell you who the final wielder is in Celadon. You and Spirit have been most gracious and respectful to me, and have been interesting and amusing to no end with your merriment and pratfalls, so I do think you deserve it. Had the drake and his friend had a similar attitude, or been more bold and less brazenly defiant - though they would be far less fun to banter with - they would have reaped such a benefit themselves, but alas that is not to be!"

I pause at this point, and I let my smile become less jovial for a insignificant instance, then give him the rest of the news.

"I do have a condition to collecting the Cursed Arms, however: You can not involve the drake in your quest, unless them or their friend would wish to without you asking. They've made it quite clear to me they rather have nothing to do with my lovely self, nor want any part of my plans for the time being - though I can't understand their reasoning for the former, really. Who wouldn't want to be graced by my dark, divine presence~? Oh wait, that right! Those that have wronged me or my family, those with too much pride , and those too little nerve! Silly me, to forget such simple things! Hehehehe.....!"

Its funny, because its true! At least, to me it is, and right now, that's one of the only opinions that matter. So sorry about that.

Next, I discuss the last and most difficult choice to the little jester, though not without offering a much valued black pearl of wisdom. I'm not unkind enough to let him be a fool about that, as some things are not so amusing....

"Oh, you do yourself a disservice demeaning yourself, no matter how true it might be. Compared to the drake and the colorful green nightmares of the now smoldering ruins of the NRF, you are weak, but compared to, say, the Nellygator? Or the average Trainer? Your are leagues above them. High expectation and standards are good, but don't make the mistake of always looking up to them and down on yourself. Otherwise, you'll miss more than you know, and what you don't know can hurt you. Hehehehe....."

*Waves glass around, and smirks*

"Part of my assistance with Transgression would be to empower you and weaken the blight beast. Whisking the monster away to my private hidey hole will severely weaken it due to the......interaction it has with it, and I'll grant you not only increased fortitude to withstand its glorious might, but temporarily grant you a gift that the drake has: the ability to field and command as many Pokemon as you wish, with no difficulty or penalty. You are also allow to bring dear Riza with you to assist in taking down the world's blighter, and she will be afforded the same benefits as you. Hehehe.....or you can leave her out, and I'll grant you even greater Strength and fleetness of feet in order to further even the odds."

"As for asking for your family's of the darling vampire's assistance, I ask you this: Do you think they wouldn't help you, no matter the choice? Or that any of the other choices are any less costly to you or them?"

Instantly, my face is right against his, only an inch away from making contact as I stared deeply into his eyes.

"If you answer no to the first question, yes to the second, or both.......hehehehehe, then I believe you need to reconsider whether or not you wish to deal with me Arial Schrodinger, if only for your own good. No matter which choice you pick, a great burden you will endure, and all that follow in your drift and coattails. You, Riza, and you family will be fraught with adversity the likes of which you have grown so comfortably accustomed to this week, and the only thing you can do about it is overcome it or f a l l. If your collective can not or will not handle such challenges in order to reclaim her humanity, then do not make a choice you all will regret forever."

*Claps !* And I'm leaning back in my chair once more, as if I never moved!

"And that is all I have to say about that! Charming, isn't it? Hehehe....oh, and you need not be a hero or heroic to save the world, nor do you have to love your fellow man to do so. It is, after all, the place you all live in, and you can't very well do that if its gone, now could you? Hehehehe.....or, more accurately, your descendants, since you'd probably be dead and gone in a hundred years time, bar you finding one of the various methods that exist to extend your life. In which case, this sixth paragraph verse, same as the forth sung~!"

I tilt my head to the side, smiling wide and unabashed.

"To answer your remaining questions: You will get only Mamudo Eclispe, as its the only one that was......unaffected by the Genesis Supernova, and it will take time for them to recover. Don't worry about it rejecting you, for the drake made it rather clear to it that they don't want to be its Wielder, and you have plenty of darkness in you to be worthy of it yourself. I already answered your second question for the most part, but to elaborate I will give you hints as to where the rest of them are, and the little wouldn't want to kill you - quite the opposite, as a matter of fact, but whether or not that is any better is a matter of debate. By my own estimate, I think you two would plus Riza and all your Pokemon would get along perfectly well with the little devil.....most likely to the detriment of everyone and yourself. If I must, though, I can intervene on your behalf to guarantee a fruitful relationship for all of you......if causing her interest you to magnify to unprecedented levels, for better or worse. Finally, I will revive your Pokemon, Riza, and her own, but not you. If you die, its Game Over. Details on the blight beast? Why, I've already given you plenty! You just need to have an open mind for them, hehehehe! If you are wanting for a more clear tidbit of Knowledge, though, I will riddle you this: they are my opposite, though far from my equal, nor anything that is like me. What are they?"

With that, I wind thing down once more, and ask the little jester again:

"Now that you are more informed, are you ready to make a choice? Or do you need to banter with me more? Either option is appealing for me, so I say, up to you! HeheheheheHA!"

Arial take a moment to think what to do. It would indeed wortly risk the lifes of his family and himself to make Riza human again? Would they indeed agreed with that? What about their thoughts and wishes? What about...Gaspar. He have lost his brother once. With such danger to that...I put my hand in his shoulder, trying to help him, almost like a father who care for his child. "Arial...if you worry about your family and for yourself, you dont need to go ahead with that path. Riza would not judge you, and I think she would understand your choice. Your family would not let you go like that."

Arial then touch the hand of Spirit and say with honest. "Thing is, I promise to find a way to revert her to her normal self, to become human. She feel ashamed in be a bug creature. If there is a slight chance to revert her form, I will go for it...But I still need to think in my decision." Arial then look at the godness of darkness and bow his head in respect. "Lady Zuryk, I would like to have a little conversation with my Pokemon. In the moments I feel in hard choices, my Pokemon is there to help me decide the better path. They also have the right to decide the future, and they always be with me...I a guy who make a lot of mistakes, so in that moments they are my will. Can I talk with them to decide what to do?"

As for me, I was left stunned with Arial sheer will. I close my eyes and smile. How much he grown up in such little time! He was not anymore the same goof madman who only think in himself. He became more wise and strong as a person. And make a lot of friends along in his path. I clap my hands to make Arial look at me. "I proud of you my boy. Lady Zuryk, you have say I could done so much more for him. Again you right. I shall give him something to help him in whatever path he choose between collect the Cursed Arms or face the beast."

My eyes shine for a second with a golden light and with the palm of my hand I have summoned a little orb. "Thats is one of my gifts to you Arial CopyCat. Accept it." Then with a finger I motion the orb in Arial direction, changing his clothes little by little. They change the colors scheme, taking a more dark schemes. When have ended, his clothes changed to someway similar to his original clothes, but with a more wild form, with cat details, and dark colors. "This my friend, its a special kind of cloth armor. Reiner himself have clothes made of Arbok skin, so in a way this clothes have a similar desigh. Those clothes is very sturdy and capable of resist strong strikes and impacts, and they might help you survive against the beast or Cursed Arms attacks."

"She is also fireproof, to avoid the same problem you once have when your clothes was burned twice, hehe. And they very much also light enough to give some freedom to dodge the attacks of the beast. After all your troubles and future ones, you will deserve and need a minimum protection."

"I shall call this outfit, Black Cat. Black Cat is even this days conected to give bad luck, mischief and dark secrets. They once conected to witches and with the unknow. This clothes its not supose give you bad luck, but instead give bad luck to future foes you might encounter in your path. And to symbolyze the deal you made with us. And your conection with power unknow to your world."

(Its basically a kind of clothes who give Arial +2, +3 or +4 in defense, your call and +2 In dex for him. Arial will need some extra defense and speed against the battle counter the beast or against Cursed Arm Users. Either one of the choices gonna be hard so he will need extra protection. Is this acceptable @Lord Windos and Zuryk? Your call in that decision)

"There is also another thing I would like to give you. Please show me the Pokeballs you have." Arial hesitated a bit then he show the Pokeballs of his six Pokemon. I touch the Pokeballs who shine for a bit. I close my eyes and make a prayer. "Its done. Gaspar have now access to Assist. He will able to speak perfect human language to have the chance to speak. Melchior and Baltazar will be able to have access to a thing I call "Fake Assist". They will be able to speak human language too, but they will not able to trully access the other powers of Assist, only the ability to speak human language. I remember you say once you miss the conversations you once have with you psychic brother, so I doing that for you and him once again have conversations. Alomola, Asura and Sekmet I dont know if is capable of speaking since there is still rules I need to follow (Your call on that @Lord Windos)."

"I will also see if I can give Gaspar a bit more mass. Even his transform abilities, he still weak in constitution to tank a few attacks. But thats not depend of me in that case but then again, you gonna face a difficult task ahead (Around +1 or +2 in HP Windos who once again its your call)." I look upon Zuryk. "Is aproved for you Zuryk?" I look in the "sky" this dark world holds. "Is this also aproved too my friend? You still the ruler of the world, so your decision is also important."

Taylor chuckles, and favors you with an amused look. "I've been all over the world before and after we first meet, partner. When you have a stellar Teleporter and a Pokemon doc plus whatever energy drinks or medicines on hand, travel time ain't an issue, except in science fiction, tabloid rags on science, or if the dread Time Lord (Diagla) or the Evergreen Lady (Celebi) are involved. Since you're interested, I'll tell you about that job in Hoen later. Fair warning its not that neat of a tale, but I still think you'll get a kick out of it.
Mega Evolution? After? Steller....Teleporter? Doc.....Energy Drinks And Medicine? Time Travel........Time Lord.....Dialga? Evergreen Lady.....Celebi? Hoen? Kick? Mm...New Words.......Kicking, Kicking! More Kicking Words!
Your old partner rolls her eyes with a smile when you start hypothesizing about Dragons, as it was an old event she had grown used time before exile (If you have anything Reiner might find funny/affable about Taylor too, bring it up and I'll work it in!), but when you mention you had methods of gathering actual intel it caused her to raise a brow.

"Really? Tried figuring out more about these scrolls myself, but hit several dead ends with nothing to show for it, and my sources are always legit. *Shrugs* If your have a way of scrounging up dirt on the Supreme Dragon Lord himself and not get smited, though, then god speed in digging for it!"
Legit? Scrounging.....Dirt? Smite? Hm.....Already Smite.....Hurricane EX Here? Or......God Speed.....Extreme Speed Everything??
Your next comment didn't raise any alarms with her, but she did look vaguely intrigued none the less. "Huh.......Lucy's girl has a good set of instincts on her. Took my girl half a walk before she started thinking of me as her mom, and forever to get her to listen without trouble, but your girl seems quick on the take and friendly as can be. Kinda weird being a granny to someone at my age, and Lucy's probably going have a small freakout about that on top of her daughter being so......different that her, but eh, I'm fine with it, and I'll make sure my girl is too."
Yes Yes, Good Instincts, Good Instincts!!! Got From Daddy, Mommy, Step Mommy, Grandmommy, Granddaddy, Inky, and Windy! Love All Much Much!!!
The barometric birdy instantly perks back up once she hears your lightened tone, and as you clarify things she regains more and more of her cheer, before she starts chirping with excessive glee!
Alright, Alright!! No Use.....Bad Words Of Grandmommy's! Use Her Fine Good Ones, Learn Not Use Rude Nasty Words, Make Daddy and Grandmommy Happy, Yes Yes! Thank You, Thank You!
She got it! She also naturally adores properly getting her name, and does wonders for bolstering her hopeful spirits. First few moments of parenting: Success!

*Rolls* *Rolls*
*Rolls* *Rolls*
*Rolls* *Rolls*

By the time you're done lecturing/naming/bonding with Hope, Taylor and Cathy have already brought everyone/Mon back ton consciousness, with Kingdra at 6/11 HP, Lucy looking fine enough but still on the rough side, and Mr. Mime looking impeccable if severely bedraggled. Reactions to the hatching are mixed.The thief extraordinaire herself is tending to the dragoness for now and explaining what the hecky happened to them, with Kingdra's [Insert What You Want Here], Lucy's being.....stunned, to say the least, while the psychic butler is leaning up against an wall, overlooking the carnage with wide eyes and a hand on his chest, taking deep breaths looking shaken and harrowed.

Cathy for her part looked very worn out after healing/Reviving everyone, but they quickly sprang back to top physical condition after a minute or two, then reached in their robes and pulled out what appeared to be an PP Up, unscrewed the cap, downed it, and subsequently looked completely revitalized as well! Heal Pulse Count for Encounter/Next 4 Hours Reset to 5!

Huh.....the plague doctor can use Man Made Items too on top of their powers........very useful combination right there.

Eh? Well, either Hope actually does have fourth wall breaking abilities, or she already knows the names of her fellow Legends somehow...hmmm...

...and Hope brought up an interesting point to further all of that...she already knows what all of her direct family relations are and then some, despite not having met any of them in the flesh after her hatching...hmmmm...her instincts definitely seem to be a bit more than 'good', to be honest...

...and Reiner's definitely picked up on it. If he wants to talk to Hope about it, though, it's probably going to have to be saved for later, for obvious reasons.

When Hope speculates what 'smite' and 'god speed' might mean, Reiner says to her, "...well, I suppose you could say those moves fit the words' meanings. That's probably not what grandmommy meant when she said them, though. 'God speed' is actually more along the lines of wishing someone good luck. Smite...well, you've got the definition of that down already, but I probably don't have to worry about you purposely striking me for doing a little research, right? The intended meaning of that comment is that grandmommy doesn't think I'll be able to learn much about Rayquaza's true power without actually seeing it for myself, which would probably involve making him angry. And for our own safety, we probably don't want to make Rayquaza angry."

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

Ah, good, so everyone is at least standing back up again. Good. Except there's one who was left out of that headcount, and unless he managed to escape that windstorm unscathed, I think he might be a little cross with a certain narrator for forgetting about him...

That individual being Weavile, of course.

As for Kingdra's reaction to Hope's hatching...well, she's a little awed by how much sheer power she can feel radiating from the newly named Hope. She also thinks Hope is adorable, and that she still looks a little like Lucy did as a Volchik despite looking almost completely different in most aspects. She's definitely not fawning over the newborn, though, as she's slid right up to Lucy to make sure her friend is okay, tilting her head and staring in such a way to ask the Stormbringer as much. Mobility isn't a massive problem for her at the moment because she's holding the Divine Water and her Ability is still Swift Swim for the time being, so it's a much smoother movement than Taylor and Lucy were probably expecting from a land bound Kingdra that (as far as they know) has Sniper for her Ability.

Eventually, Reiner looks at Mr. Mime, considers something...then pulls the TM for Heal Pulse out of his bag and a Luxury Ball. Moments later, out comes Poe!
...?
...who then proceeds to look around the room and wonder what the heck just happe...
...!  Hi!
Eep! Where did that voice come from?!  Poe scurries behind Reiner, most certainly startled!
...?
Poe pokes his head out from behind Reiner carefully when the thing that startled him doesn't seem to be trying to spook him any further.  Hope looks at the furry creature curiously, head tilted, as bird pokemon are wont to do when looking at something potentially interesting.
...Hi?
Poe carefully looks back at the strange, green bird. Did they just...?
Yes! Hi!
The little chick's burst of energy coupled with a short hop forwards in excitement startles Poe somewhat again, and he pops out of her sight once more. Reiner chuckles. It figures Hope would want to be extra friendly with a pokemon that's currently closer to being the same size as her, given that everyone else in this room is much bigger than she is. "Sorry to startle you, Poe, but meet Hope. She's only just hatched from her egg, just so you're aware. She has a lot to learn, and is very eager to learn it all, it seems. Hope, this is Poe. Be a little more gentle with him, alright? He scares easily."
...Startle?  ...Scare? Be Gentle? Oh, Sorry Sorry, Poe!
Poe peeks out from behind Reiner again once things have settled down a little, then looks up at the Dragon Tamer questioningly. So...why's he been summoned? Is his help needed?

Reiner's response to Poe's question: "Yep, if you could help out a little, that'd be great. As you can see, a bit of a mess was made, and not everyone got out of it unscathed. I've got the perfect TM to help with that, though, and I think you could probably learn it. Would you like to learn Heal Pulse, Poe?"

The turbulant tyke seems to pause as you further define the words she's pick up, looking remarkably thoughtful as she toyed around with the new info, before she was right and active again with a *Chirp!*, squirming with renewed cheer!
Okay Okay! Understand Now! No No No No, Never EVER Smite You, No No!! God Speed For Whole Family, For You Daddy! ....Hmm....Except Maybe Inky? You No Like Inky Very Much, So No God Speed For Them If No Want. No Make Rayquaza Angry Too! Never Be Mad At You, Daddy!
*Creeeeeek*

The sound of the door being opened caused you to turn around, and peeking through the entrance is none other than our favorite cat thief, Weavile, looking fine as ever! He was currently peering around the Training Room with a completely taken aback look plastered across his face, until his gaze landed on you and Hope, were upon he stopped and gave you an extremely expectant look and started waving his paw agitatively around.

"What in the Dragon Gods name happened here?! I leave for a few minutes to grab a snack from the kitchen, and the whole room now looks like Kingdra and Lucy has gone through a temper tantrum and wrecked the place straight to hell!"

....AAAAAH! ICE CAT, ICE CAT!! PREDATOR, PREDATOR! FREEZR ME, EAT ME!! SCARY SCARY SCARY, DANGEROUS!!! DADDY, DADDY, PROTECT, PROTECT!!! .....It appears Hope's terrified of your sly feline, for a somewhat logical reason. Those instincts.....

Huh.....so that's were he was at! Sneaky kitty....he even escapes my notice from time to time....

Taylor of course picks up on the fluidity of the aquatic dragoness' movements, silently raising eyebrow at it before fixing you with the same look, while Lucy......well, she was a bit too distracted to pick up on such details. However, she DOES seem to snap out of whatever state she was in at her friend's concern, craning her head over to give them a weak smile and soft rumble. Yeah, she's fine.......it's just......what's happened and her........daughter......it's a lot to take in.

(Typically, I'd prefer to at least control 1/2 of a Pokemon to Pokemon 'conversation', but you did the above well enough that I'll allow you to keep doing it)

Few things to add during the Poe v Hope interaction: Friendly as she is towards the sickly sibling, she's actually kinda intimidated by him, even though he's VASTLY weaker than her. Maybe its her instincts as a bird, reacting to the sight of a 'predator' fox , even though he wouldn't hurt a fly unless you ordered him to (and even then he'd be gentle about it!). Poe, meanwhile, is perplexed by the barometric birdy beyond his timidity, as the vibe of her is similar to a POWERFUL Dragon's, yet he's also feeling she's just an Electric/Flying Type tyke. Strange.....

He's distracted from his musings/staring out from behind you at Hope when you ask him if he wants to learn Heal Pulse, where upon he starts hopping around and letting excited "Eevee!"s, before hunkering down and looking up at your with pleading eyes as his tail wags 'furiously' behind him! That's definitely a yes! If they're one thing the Little Bro loves more than anything besides his Big Sis, its helping others, and having H.P. would let support others in a whole brand new way!!!

Oh god, he's too cute! Quick, teach him, before you acquire acute adorable apoptosis!

Poe learns Heal Pulse! What's he's going to do with it now?

The sound of the door being opened caused you to turn around, and peeking through the entrance is none other than our favorite cat thief, Weavile, looking fine as ever! He was currently peering around the Training Room with a completely taken aback look plastered across his face, until his gaze landed on you and Hope, were upon he stopped and gave you an extremely expectant look and started waving his paw agitatively around.

"What in the Dragon Gods name happened here?! I leave for a few minutes to grab a snack from the kitchen, and the whole room now looks like Kingdra and Lucy has gone through a temper tantrum and wrecked the place straight to hell!"

....AAAAAH! ICE CAT, ICE CAT!! PREDATOR, PREDATOR! FREEZR ME, EAT ME!! SCARY SCARY SCARY, DANGEROUS!!! DADDY, DADDY, PROTECT, PROTECT!!! .....It appears Hope's terrified of your sly feline, for a somewhat logical reason. Those instincts.....
Huh.....so that's were he was at! Sneaky kitty....he even escapes my notice from time to time....

Taylor of course picks up on the fluidity of the aquatic dragoness' movements, silently raising eyebrow at it before fixing you with the same look, while Lucy......well, she was a bit too distracted to pick up on such details. However, she DOES seem to snap out of whatever state she was in at her friend's concern, craning her head over to give them a weak smile and soft rumble. Yeah, she's fine.......it's just......what's happened and her........daughter......it's a lot to take in.

(Typically, I'd prefer to at least control 1/2 of a Pokemon to Pokemon 'conversation', but you did the above well enough that I'll allow you to keep doing it)

Few things to add during the Poe v Hope interaction: Friendly as she is towards the sickly sibling, she's actually kinda intimidated by him, even though he's VASTLY weaker than her. Maybe its her instincts as a bird, reacting to the sight of a 'predator' fox , even though he wouldn't hurt a fly unless you ordered him to (and even then he'd be gentle about it!). Poe, meanwhile, is perplexed by the barometric birdy beyond his timidity, as the vibe of her is similar to a POWERFUL Dragon's, yet he's also feeling she's just an Electric/Flying Type tyke. Strange.....

He's distracted from his musings/staring out from behind you at Hope when you ask him if he wants to learn Heal Pulse, where upon he starts hopping around and letting excited "Eevee!"s, before hunkering down and looking up at your with pleading eyes as his tail wags 'furiously' behind him! That's definitely a yes! If they're one thing the Little Bro loves more than anything besides his Big Sis, its helping others, and having H.P. would let support others in a whole brand new way!!!

Oh god, he's too cute! Quick, teach him, before you acquire acute adorable apoptosis!

Poe learns Heal Pulse! What's he's going to do with it now?

[Just tryin' to flex my writing a little more while I don't have to manage absolutely everything. Tongue

Glad to hear you think I'm doing a decent job with the varying personalities.]

...yup, Hope can definitely break the fourth wall if she knows that. Gonna have to talk to her about that ability of hers and possibly some related topics later...

Reiner's quick to try and calm Hope down. "It's okay, Hope, it's okay. Weavile's one of my friends, alright? He's 100% not going to harm you. Got it?"

And then he turns to address Weavile once Hope has calmed down a little.  "...well, you're not entirely wrong there, buddy, but not exactly right, either. Lucy's egg hatched as soon as she confirmed that she was fine with me taking it, and it seems we all got more than expected out of it. It'd be more accurate to say a windstorm trashed this room. A windstorm that lil' Hope here, who definitely has more than a passing resemblance to Rayquaza for who knows what reason, accidentally summoned when she hatched. Powerful as she is, though, she is still most definitely a child, so...and if you're wondering why I'm not as beat up as everyone else, it's because I was in the eye of the storm due to being the one holding the egg. We have Taylor's personal doc Cathy over there..." *points at the plague doctor pokemon* "...to thank for getting everyone back on their feet. I just taught Poe Heal Pulse with that TM we found to help out since everyone's still lookin' a bit worse for wear."

*looks at Poe* "Well, how about for your first use of the move, ya help out Mr. Mime? Looks like he could use it the most."  And I'm guessing that Cathy is probably gonna quickly catch on that Poe gets much more tired than the average Heal Pulse user whenever he uses the move...and I'm also gonna guess that Hope is also probably still fascinated with how pretty the healing move looks, too.

*looks at Mr. Mime*  "Could ya run Kingdra and Lucy through the healing machine real quick once you're feeling a bit better, Mr. Mime? Maybe the extra time will help Lucy to adjust, too."

Kingdra's giving Lucy a few comforting nuzzles during most of the prior conversation (her equivalent of a comforting gesture since she lacks any free limbs, being a seahorse pokemon). It'll all turn out fine in the end. She's certain of that. Upon overhearing Reiner's last comment to Mr. Mime, though, she trumpets in agreement with him! A brief rest away from this mess might do some good! She still definitely wants to battle and show off her skills, though! And maybe that battle they were talking about will help Lucy take her mind off of this, too!

Arial take a moment to think what to do. It would indeed wortly risk the lifes of his family and himself to make Riza human again? Would they indeed agreed with that? What about their thoughts and wishes? What about...Gaspar. He have lost his brother once. With such danger to that...I put my hand in his shoulder, trying to help him, almost like a father who care for his child. "Arial...if you worry about your family and for yourself, you dont need to go ahead with that path. Riza would not judge you, and I think she would understand your choice. Your family would not let you go like that."

Arial then touch the hand of Spirit and say with honest. "Thing is, I promise to find a way to revert her to her normal self, to become human. She feel ashamed in be a bug creature. If there is a slight chance to revert her form, I will go for it...But I still need to think in my decision." Arial then look at the godness of darkness and bow his head in respect. "Lady Zuryk, I would like to have a little conversation with my Pokemon. In the moments I feel in hard choices, my Pokemon is there to help me decide the better path. They also have the right to decide the future, and they always be with me...I a guy who make a lot of mistakes, so in that moments they are my will. Can I talk with them to decide what to do?"

As for me, I was left stunned with Arial sheer will. I close my eyes and smile. How much he grown up in such little time! He was not anymore the same goof madman who only think in himself. He became more wise and strong as a person. And make a lot of friends along in his path. I clap my hands to make Arial look at me. "I proud of you my boy. Lady Zuryk, you have say I could done so much more for him. Again you right. I shall give him something to help him in whatever path he choose between collect the Cursed Arms or face the beast."

My eyes shine for a second with a golden light and with the palm of my hand I have summoned a little orb. "Thats is one of my gifts to you Arial CopyCat. Accept it." Then with a finger I motion the orb in Arial direction, changing his clothes little by little. They change the colors scheme, taking a more dark schemes. When have ended, his clothes changed to someway similar to his original clothes, but with a more wild form, with cat details, and dark colors. "This my friend, its a special kind of cloth armor. Reiner himself have clothes made of Arbok skin, so in a way this clothes have a similar desigh. Those clothes is very sturdy and capable of resist strong strikes and impacts, and they might help you survive against the beast or Cursed Arms attacks."

"She is also fireproof, to avoid the same problem you once have when your clothes was burned twice, hehe. And they very much also light enough to give some freedom to dodge the attacks of the beast. After all your troubles and future ones, you will deserve and need a minimum protection."

"I shall call this outfit, Black Cat. Black Cat is even this days conected to give bad luck, mischief and dark secrets. They once conected to witches and with the unknow. This clothes its not supose give you bad luck, but instead give bad luck to future foes you might encounter in your path. And to symbolyze the deal you made with us. And your conection with power unknow to your world."

(Its basically a kind of clothes who give Arial +2/+3 in defense, your call and +2 In dex for him. Arial will need some extra defense and speed against the battle counter the beast or against Cursed Arm Users. Either one of the choices gonna be hard so he will need extra protection. Is this acceptable @Lord Windos and Zuryk? Your call in that decision)

"There is also another thing I would like to give you. Please show me the Pokeballs you have." Arial hesitated a bit then he show the Pokeballs of his six Pokemon. I touch the Pokeballs who shine for a bit. I close my eyes and make a prayer. "Its done. Gaspar have now access to Assist. He will able to speak perfect human language to have the chance to speak. Melchior and Baltazar will be able to have access to a thing I call "Fake Assist". They will be able to speak human language too, but they will not able to trully access the other powers of Assist, only the ability to speak human language. I remember you say once you miss the conversations you once have with you psychic brother, so I doing that for you and him once again have conversations. Alomola, Asura and Sekmet I dont know if is capable of speaking since there is still rules I need to follow (Your call on that @Lord Windos)."

"I will also see if I can give Gaspar a bit more mass. Even his transform abilities, he still weak in constitution to tank a few attacks. But thats not depend of me in that case but then again, you gonna face a difficult task ahead (Around +1 or +2 in HP Windos who once again its your call)." I look upon Zuryk. "Is aproved for you Zuryk?" I look in the "sky" this dark world holds. "Is this also aproved too my friend? You still the ruler of the world, so your decision is also important."

I applauded the puppeteer for his kernal of insight, releasing my wine glass and letting it stand in the air as I did so.

"Bravo, Spirit, bravo! Always appreciate a flair for the patriarchal in guidance given, especially when it compliment the advice given so well! Hehehe....it helps that he's correct too, Arial, but do remember that he may not necessarily be right. Only you can decide what's right or wrong, good or bad, no matter how informed your judgement is....."

Your request I entertain in silence for a minute, twirling with my glass and staring at it with a thoughtful smirk, before I look back to you and nod.

"Very well. Converse with your family.......and give me your choice afterwards. This night, winding and eventful as it may be, will not last forever, and I rather have an answer soon so I have the rest of it to plan and do. My horrible little sister's blow up performance shook things up for me in a very pleasant way, so I'd like to take prompt advantage of the boon she invariably gifted me. Well, more than I already have, anyway. It is so good to be back, and its all thanks to her and the deal poor hamster was forced to make with me, hehehehe......"

Since I'm in control of the narrative, allow me to abridge events for the player and myself, for I was not jesting with my desire to speed this meeting to its conclusion: All of the little jester's Pokemon agree with and supports his decision to transform dear Riza back into a human, and the choices that need be made as the required cost - Even Transmigration, however reluctant they are with the idea -, in their own fashion.

All except for Gaspar, who is quite vehemently against any course of action that endangers you or the rest of their family for the sake of that (to them) vile, kidnapping, and murderous vamp. Of course, he'll help you regardless if you make a choice, but he will be thoroughly unhappy and unpleasant about it, which would translate to.....mmm.....about a point loss of 1 Happiness and 1 Loyalty each. If you hadn't asked him for his blessing or informed him about things, then he'd not suffer a loss of faith after he became aware you made a choice, since it has already been done and getting furiously weepy over spilled milk is an utter waste for the metamorphic kitten. The more you know....

Admittedly I was a tad bit surprised when you actually leap to my challenge in such a way, and with in such.....initiative as well. It was......gratifying.

I couldn't help myself: I burst into a fit of laughter, giggles, and cackling, slapping my knee and spilling some of my wine onto my dress, staining it a deep, rich crimson.

"HehehehehehehehAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Myself, you ARE the gift that keeps on giving, Spirit! Never ceasing to amuse, and never failing to do something unexpected but fun! Oh what a treat, ha..... Hm.....well, I know Windos wouldn't allow such blatant tampering and god modding on their watch without prior consent, but they not in control of this meeting. I am. And I like what you've done. I'll allow The Black Cat Attire to be imbued with the power - some of my power - of toughness and a bit of quickening, provided Arial actually makes a choice rather than decline them. I can be generous in my dealings, but like many a business, I do expect some return on my investments. Its the whole principle behind this meeting, after all. Plus, I recall giving a gift of similar nature to the drake for his.....enrollment into my services, so its only fair I do the same for you Arial...."

(Said toughness and quickening will translate to + 2 Defense, + 1 DEX, and the user gaining an Immunity to Fire type and 'Burning' Moves - hehehe, well, for the most part. Powerful enough flames or scorching can overcome the protection, so he won't be making a vacation to the sun with his attire anytime soon - or not come back alive, at any rate.)

When it come to the empowerment of the little jester's Pokemon, though, I stopped smiling and shake my head, my expression the perfect picture of polite refusal.

"Hmm....unfortunately, I can not all allow the rest of the gifts you offer, Spirit. Or, to put it another way, consider your prayers to be unanswered. I don't envision a need for Arial to truly communicate with his family, or at least not so immediately. If he wants that boon, then he or you will have to arrange a separate deal for it." Claps!* "That is that."

"As for Gaspar, I can not give him more bulk to Transform with either, as he's completely against voluntarily participating in their brother's choices. I will not give power to those that have not earned it, or if they are not doing a service for me of their own will that requires my aid. Fair is fair, no?"

(I put things short to quick this meeting)

- I make acceptance and understable face to Zuryk and bow my head in respect. "I understand. Thank you for allowing the Black Cat Attire for Arial use."

- Arial make a *sigh* when he witness Gaspar grudge and opinion. "Things just getting worse and worse. I just hope I may be able rebond with my brother later." I aproach my boy and put a hand in his shoulder. "Family its a complicated thing my boy. But he is still your brother. And brother dont agree all times. Give him some time and then things might be okay. You are brothers despite this crazy situation. And you love each with a strong brotherhood. Have hope." I pat the shoulder of Arial and let him make his decision.

Arial put some time and though to think about the path to make and he finally to a conclusion. He look upon the Goodness of Darkness and finally spoke. "Lady, I make my decision. I may regret that later but I choose...Transgress. I know maybe Transferal would be a better choice, but it would take more time to acomplished. Fighting the beast with Riza, her Pokemon, my Pokemon and your help perhaps I may be able to fight against such beast. Besides, my Pokemon didnt get to much chance to shiny in the Nuclear Factory so thats a good chance to do it. I have one final question before we head there: Can my Pokemon prepare their buffs before we head there or we going there like right now? And of course swap a few items. Dont want to go unprepared."

Reiner's quick to try and calm Hope down. "It's okay, Hope, it's okay. Weavile's one of my friends, alright? He's 100% not going to harm you. Got it?"

And then he turns to address Weavile once Hope has calmed down a little.  "...well, you're not entirely wrong there, buddy, but not exactly right, either. Lucy's egg hatched as soon as she confirmed that she was fine with me taking it, and it seems we all got more than expected out of it. It'd be more accurate to say a windstorm trashed this room.

We have Taylor's personal doc Cathy over there..." *points at the plague doctor pokemon* "...to thank for getting everyone back on their feet. I just taught Poe Heal Pulse with that TM we found to help out since everyone's still lookin' a bit worse for wear."

*looks at Poe* "Well, how about for your first use of the move, ya help out Mr. Mime? Looks like he could use it the most."  And I'm guessing that Cathy is probably gonna quickly catch on that Poe gets much more tired than the average Heal Pulse user whenever he uses the move...and I'm also gonna guess that Hope is also probably still fascinated with how pretty the healing move looks, too.

*looks at Mr. Mime*  "Could ya run Kingdra and Lucy through the healing machine real quick once you're feeling a bit better, Mr. Mime? Maybe the extra time will help Lucy to adjust, too."

Kingdra's giving Lucy a few comforting nuzzles during most of the prior conversation (her equivalent of a comforting gesture since she lacks any free limbs, being a seahorse pokemon). It'll all turn out fine in the end. She's certain of that. Upon overhearing Reiner's last comment to Mr. Mime, though, she trumpets in agreement with him! A brief rest away from this mess might do some good! She still definitely wants to battle and show off her skills, though! And maybe that battle they were talking about will help Lucy take her mind off of this, too!

Your quick explanation suffices in becalming Hope, who has been hiding and shivering in your grasp like a startled Caterpie ever since she spotted Weavile. She slowly ceases that and peers up at you, looking at you and letting out a worried *Chirp....*
You Sure, Daddy? Ice Cat.....They VERY Scary.......Looks Feels Hungry Too......
Weavile, meanwhile, gives you a long, almost gormless stare as you briefly described what happened, switched his gaze over to the turbulent tyke (Who immediately tucked her head into your chest), then back at you, before closing his eyes, slowly shaking his head, and sighing.

"....You know what, I'm not even all that surprised about that. This week has been an interesting for us, to say the least, so you hatching a faux Rayquaza isn't blowing me away, you could say. *Sighs* Look, you mind if I just chill in the living room while sort this mess out? I'd like to have some R&R now that this insane Flower Festival is about to be wrapped up, before we have to skeddadle from town. The NRF going kaput like that is going to draw all the wrong kinds of attention to Celadon, so I say its best we lay low for a real long time before we start pulling any heists with Taylor."
Faux.....Rayquaza? ......Hey! I Not Faux!!! Mean! Ice Cat Rude Rude! ......But Scary Too....
Speaking of the cloaked lady, her attention was totally devoted to Lucy right now, so you didn't have to worry about her ease dropping on that chat!

Poe lets out an "E-Eevee!" of affirmation, before scrunching up his face cutely in concentration as he Channeled his inner power, before unleashing it as an orb of dark pink light!
Ooooh.......Pink Heal Pulse Light Again! Hmm.....But It Looks Feels Different? Huh?
Heal Pulse!
(1)(2)(3)(4)(1)(3)(2)(4)(4)(5)(6)(4)(1)(1)
*Rolls*
Mr. Mime is fully restored!

The psychic butler jolts as the revitalizing energy enters into him, looking plainly surprised at how much better and calmer he feels, before he does his best to regain his composure in short order, coughing into his fist and bowing his head to the Little Bro first, then to you.

"Thank you for your assistance, Poe. It is...greatly appreciated. *Turns to you* Yes, I can do that right away, Mr. Arendse."
.....? Mr. Aren.....dse? Who Is That, Daddy?
Your adorable fluff ball smiles back happily at Mr. Mime, glad he could help the nice Pokemen.......before splayed out onto the ground, belly to the floor as he looked plain and simply tuckered out from using his newly acquired Move. Oof, that took a lot out of him......but he doesn't regret it all!

Obviously Cathy picks up on Poe's new state/what caused it, and with a alarmed warble they rush over and start doing a medical examination of your furry friend, carefully inspect him with a keen and worried eye. Contrary to expectation, Poe does not freak out over the doc's sudden visitation, as there presence and.......feel indicate they only wanted to help him, even if they were a bit.......weird.
Lucy's greatly appreciates her friends nuzzles, and reciprocates the gesture with a smile and entwining her neck with their body in a hug. She was fine enough, but thanks to her fellow dragoness' support, she feels like getting more just 'okay' now. She also perks up as their battle is brought back to the forefront of everyone's minds, and gives a calm rumble of agreement. Yeah, a great battle that she can let loose in would do her a great deal of good, so she's still all for it!

Once Mr. Mime carts off Kingdra and Lucy for healing, the thief extraordinaire paces back to you, looking half relieved and half curious that everything's turned out more or less alright despite some......complications.

"So we're still doing our battle, eh? Fine by me, I guess, but we'll have to clear the arena before we get started, unless we want are Pokemon stumbling around and hurting themselves on all the equipment on it (Hazard on both sides of the Field: - 1 Accuracy and + 1 Damage upon being switched in). Before that, though, what are the rules for our bout going to be? All out, no holds bar beat down, Items, Switching or no switching......what's the take going to be on those things, partner?"
Battle? Battle! Battle! Me Want To Fight Fight Fight! Prove To Daddy I Am Powerful, *Chirp!*
At the sound of the barometric birdy's elation, Taylor glances over to her, takes one good long look at her, then looks back to you with a deadpan expression that brook no arguement to what she was about to say.

"I do have one condition myself, though: Lucy's girl ain't allowed to be used. At least, not without giving me plenty of advantages to make up for it. She's just way too strong for me and most of my team to handle, and with you backing her up, I got no chance in heaven or the Underworld in defeating her. Not without losing half of my team or more in the attempt, at least. Plus, I don't think Hope would like to see her daughter fighting so soon, and especially not like the possibility of tussling with them herself."
What? Aww......... No Fair. Or.....Too Fair? Hmpt......Grandmommy Being Mean......

(I put things short to quick this meeting)

- I make acceptance and understable face to Zuryk and bow my head in respect. "I understand. Thank you for allowing the Black Cat Attire for Arial use."

- Arial make a *sigh* when he witness Gaspar grudge and opinion. "Things just getting worse and worse. I just hope I may be able rebond with my brother later." I aproach my boy and put a hand in his shoulder. "Family its a complicated thing my boy. But he is still your brother. And brother dont agree all times. Give him some time and then things might be okay. You are brothers despite this crazy situation. And you love each with a strong brotherhood. Have hope." I pat the shoulder of Arial and let him make his decision.

Arial put some time and though to think about the path to make and he finally to a conclusion. He look upon the Goodness of Darkness and finally spoke. "Lady, I make my decision. I may regret that later but I choose...Transgress. I know maybe Transferal would be a better choice, but it would take more time to acomplished. Fighting the beast with Riza, her Pokemon, my Pokemon and your help perhaps I may be able to fight against such beast. Besides, my Pokemon didnt get to much chance to shiny in the Nuclear Factory so thats a good chance to do it. I have one final question before we head there: Can my Pokemon prepare their buffs before we head there or we going there like right now? And of course swap a few items. Dont want to go unprepared."

"I'm delighted you do! Miscommunication can be such a bothersome issue to sort out, no? And, of course, you are quite welcome, hehehehe......"

I give the little jester a half shrug, raising what's left of my wine to him in condolence.

"That's the problem with family: it isn't always so happy and carefree as we like it, and is prone to interpersonal disagreements."

My expression become blank and cold as I continued with the truth, my voice a cold hiss that would freeze all but a foolish men's hearts.

"I d e s p i s e my horrible, wretched sister for deliberately driving my brother and her husband to suicide, so I can easily sympathize with your plight."

I do my best to smile and speak afterwards without care, though some vitriol slipped in before I could fully regain my composure.

"Unlike my...... s p a t with her, though, I believe you can mend things between you and your brother in due time. All it will take is effort on everyone's part. Hard as you think, but easier than you'd imagine it to be....."

Quote:"Lady, I make my decision. I may regret that later but I choose...Transgress.

His choice made, I grinned wide, and with a *Snap!* of my fingers, several things happened in rapid succession.

Music: Trouble Is A Friend (By Lenka)

Transgress started glowing, and the other now possibilities ceased to exist. At least, in this time....

The table and all its chairs disappears, and everyone was standing opposite from Transgress, hovering in the empty space between us: me on one side, and Arial colorful entourage on the other.

Finally, the choice glowed, before it slammed itself into the ground and morphed on impact, bending, twisting, and transforming into a deep, dark, dark, and darker still hole that you didn't so much see as notice the absence of all light in and around it. It was, to coin a phrase, as if Transgress carved a pit through reality, and this is what it left.

I clasp my hands together, wine glass gone, and hold them off to the side of my face, like a certain other dark goddess , though much less dour and far more pleased with who I am.

"So mote your choice be, and let our will be done. When you and Riza are fully prepared, take the plunge, and everything else will fall in place."

I then give the jester and his guiding hand a curtsy, for it is only proper to do so.

"I wish you the best of luck, Arial Schrodinger, and I look forward to the outcome of your Transgression."

My grin widens.

"Whatever it may be."

Thus spoken, I left, vanished, off to fetch and cage the world blighter for them to play with.

In a game of life.....or death.

Oh, won't it be brilliant.

Hehehehehehehe!
....
....
....
....
....You are now alone in the warehouse, all your Pokemon recalled, save for Riza, who still slumbers peacefully and without care. Spirit too is gone in person, but perhaps not in......well, spirit.

Your quick explanation suffices in becalming Hope, who has been hiding and shivering in your grasp like a startled Caterpie ever since she spotted Weavile. She slowly ceases that and peers up at you, looking at you and letting out a worried *Chirp....*
You Sure, Daddy? Ice Cat.....They VERY Scary.......Looks Feels Hungry Too......
Weavile, meanwhile, gives you a long, almost gormless stare as you briefly described what happened, switched his gaze over to the turbulent tyke (Who immediately tucked her head into your chest), then back at you, before closing his eyes, slowly shaking his head, and sighing.

"....You know what, I'm not even all that surprised about that. This week has been an interesting for us, to say the least, so you hatching a faux Rayquaza isn't blowing me away, you could say. *Sighs* Look, you mind if I just chill in the living room while sort this mess out? I'd like to have some R&R now that this insane Flower Festival is about to be wrapped up, before we have to skeddadle from town. The NRF going kaput like that is going to draw all the wrong kinds of attention to Celadon, so I say its best we lay low for a real long time before we start pulling any heists with Taylor."
Faux.....Rayquaza? ......Hey! I Not Faux!!! Mean! Ice Cat Rude Rude! ......But Scary Too....
Speaking of the cloaked lady, her attention was totally devoted to Lucy right now, so you didn't have to worry about her ease dropping on that chat!

Poe lets out an "E-Eevee!" of affirmation, before scrunching up his face cutely in concentration as he Channeled his inner power, before unleashing it as an orb of dark pink light!
Ooooh.......Pink Heal Pulse Light Again! Hmm.....But It Looks Feels Different? Huh?
Heal Pulse!
(1)(2)(3)(4)(1)(3)(2)(4)(4)(5)(6)(4)(1)(1)
*Rolls*
Mr. Mime is fully restored!

The psychic butler jolts as the revitalizing energy enters into him, looking plainly surprised at how much better and calmer he feels, before he does his best to regain his composure in short order, coughing into his fist and bowing his head to the Little Bro first, then to you.

"Thank you for your assistance, Poe. It is...greatly appreciated. *Turns to you* Yes, I can do that right away, Mr. Arendse."
.....? Mr. Aren.....dse? Who Is That, Daddy?
Your adorable fluff ball smiles back happily at Mr. Mime, glad he could help the nice Pokemen.......before splayed out onto the ground, belly to the floor as he looked plain and simply tuckered out from using his newly acquired Move. Oof, that took a lot out of him......but he doesn't regret it all!

Obviously Cathy picks up on Poe's new state/what caused it, and with a alarmed warble they rush over and start doing a medical examination of your furry friend, carefully inspect him with a keen and worried eye. Contrary to expectation, Poe does not freak out over the doc's sudden visitation, as there presence and.......feel indicate they only wanted to help him, even if they were a bit.......weird.
Lucy's greatly appreciates her friends nuzzles, and reciprocates the gesture with a smile and entwining her neck with their body in a hug. She was fine enough, but thanks to her fellow dragoness' support, she feels like getting more just 'okay' now. She also perks up as their battle is brought back to the forefront of everyone's minds, and gives a calm rumble of agreement. Yeah, a great battle that she can let loose in would do her a great deal of good, so she's still all for it!

- In response to Hope's worry: Reiner gives Hope a genuine smile that'll hopefully reassure her. "Well, Weavile did just say he went to grab a snack from one of the other rooms, so it's no surprise that he seems to be hungry...*chuckle*...he's more likely to swipe something from a snack tray than to try and go hunt down a bird pokemon, though. I've known him for around 7 years or so, and I've had plenty of time to get to know what kind of pokemon he is. And I can definitely tell you that he doesn't hunt bird pokemon when he's looking for an easy snack. His tastes are much more...refined, shall we say."

- As for Weavile's response and Hope's response to it: "...go right on ahead and take a breather, Weavile. A friendly word of advice, though: Hope's probably not going to be scared of you forever, so you might want to watch what ya say about her in the future, lest she literally blows you away for making her angry. If she can demolish a room like this by accident without even thinking about it, imagine what she can do if she's actually intending to cause a massive amount of damage. And as for you, lil' one..."  *looks down at Hope* "...I would prefer if you don't smite him, and come to me first if he makes you angry in the future, alright? We can all be friends here eventually, or at least be able to work together without attacking each other unnecessarily in the process, right?"

- Hope's question about who Mr. Arendse is: *another chuckle*  "Mr. Arendse is me, Hope. I have a name too, and it's Reiner Arendse. You don't have to call me that, though...even though that is something I'm going to have to get used to, to be perfectly honest..."

- In response to Cathy examining Poe: Reiner has some important comments for her! "Found him and his sister living in an alley. His big sis was lookin' out for him since he's too sickly to fend for himself, but he's always willing to help out everyone else however he can despite that, and he and his big sis are practically inseparable. Guess he's not used to dolling out big heals like that, though. Feel free to look him over, but make sure ya don't scare him, or his big sister might be real cross with ya, Cathy. And trust me, you do not want to make his big sis angry. Of the two of them, she's the fighter for a reason."

- In response to Taylor: *nod* "Yup, still doin' the battle. I don't have any pokemon with Rapid Spin (as I don't think Defog would be able to clean up this particular hazard...not that Reiner has any pokemon that currently know the move anyways), though, so unless you happen to have a pokemon that knows the move..." *shrug* "...well, we're probably either cleaning it up by hand or hoping Mr. Mime has a quick and easy solution readily available if we don't want to try battling in this mess.  As for rules..." (OOC: if cleaning up is going to take the rest of the encounter slot, then we'll probably have to just battle amidst the mess and plan around the hazards accordingly.)

- No trainer items for starters. No sense in using our supplies on this, right?
- I'm fine with no switching. Saves us both some trouble when it comes to thinking about who to use next, and it should speed things along.
- Battle until fainting would be preferable so we don't have to worry about overdoing it while holding back.
- No limitation on how many moves we get to use per pokemon.
- Single or double battle is up to you. I don't have a particular preference either way.

"That all fine with you, Taylor? Or do you have anything to add?"

As for Hope's exclamation in response to Taylor's condition: "...you don't have to prove to me that you're strong, Hope. I've already got a decent idea of how strong you are already. Besides, Grandmommy does have multiple good points. I'd like for you to sit this one out. I'll find ya a good battle when we get a good chance for one to make up for that, but let's take it slow for now, alright? Besides, if you're not participating, then you get to watch and see what other pokemon Grandmommy and I have sooner rather than later. Can't do that if you've been fainted mid-battle, right?" *chuckles once more*

-Hope's fright over Weavile seemed to fade back into her instincts as you explained it away, her mood brightening back to her former cheer, now tinged with nervousness, but it was cheer none the less.
Okay, Daddy. .....But If Ice Cat Come After Me.....Protect Me? Promise?

-The black cat burglar gives you a thankful smile at first for your permission to his siesta, then it flipped right upside down when you laid out how screwed he was if he antagonized/kept antagonizing your turbulent tyke. He continued to stare at her with an carefully blank expression for a bit, before he glanced back to you and slowly nodded.

"......Noted, and understood. It's not my fault she's scared of me, or who she thinks she is, but.......I'll mind my manners around her. *Mutters lowly, crossly* 'Cause I sure as hell don't need another god gunning for me, one way or another. *Raises Voice, Waves* Well, see ya later partner."
You Ice Cat! You Predator! Me Daddy's Girl! Me Me! That That!! Good bye, *Chirp!*
That said (and only you hearing his mutterings), he left, letting the door snap shut behind him. Hope appeared thoughtful as she watched the scary kitty cat go, but your request towards her interrupted her mussing with a startled *Chirp!*, before she gave you what appeared to be an innocent look, but felt vaguely......schemey and guilty.
Yes, Daddy. Will Not Smite Him..... Try Be Friendly, Unless He Try Eat Me! I Am Not His Yum Yum, Noooo!

-Hope seemed honestly surprised about you having a name other than Daddy, *Chirping!* first in alarm, and then eager, curious excitement!
Daddy Have Other Names?! Like Me? Yay, Yay!!! What Are They, What Are They?!

-The doc doesn't even look up as you divulge the background of Little Bro and Big Sis, but you do see them nod their head in time with your explanation as he continues to scrutinize and assess their condition with the same kind of focus you'd typically find in actual medical professionals. So you know they are listening to you, and may perhaps actually be a medical professional in some odd way.

Eventually, they finished their examine with a decisive nod of their head - which was good, for Poe was starting to become uncomfortably ticklish! - before they looked up and walked over to you, pulled out what looked to be a Lemonade, and place it right beside Hope (Who *Chirped* in slight shock and shivered as the cold bottle pressed against her skin). Cathy then pointed straight at Brother Dearest, mimed a drinking motion, closed their eyes and nodded, warbling......something, then.......walked off back to Taylor's side, who eyed her doc and then you with fond amusement. You feel as if you were a part of some joke, but you don't get it.......unless you do, but not now. Ugh......
Brr.....Cold, Cold! Daddy, Please Take Away Cold!!

- "Nods* Okie dokie, smokey! *Shrugs* Yeah, me neither.....*Looks hesitant* .....weeeell, I do have a Pokemon that can maybe clear this stuff away, but......I rather not do let them do that unless I need too. You'll.....see what I mean when you meet them, in or out of battle."

Well, if that isn't foreboding....

As for your suggested rules, she had zero problems ALL with them, choose Singles as her battle format of her choice, and had nothing really more to add pertaining to the rules of engagment. "I can do either Doubles or Singles just fine, but I'd prefer us not trying to dogpile on each other's Pokemon before we can see what they can really do. Or showing off, in my case, heh!"

Lastly, the barometric birdy looked sullen at her Daddy and Grandmommy tag teaming her out of what would have been her first fight, but she eventually warms up to the idea of seeing you two duke it out at full force, letting out a positive *Chirp!* as her imagination ran wild with said clash.
Right! Me Take Slow, While You And Grandmommy Go Fight Fast Fast! Like Godspeed....Extreme Speed! Oh, And Godspeed For You, Daddy! Godspeed, Godspeed!!!

Eventually, Mr. Mime returns with Kingdra/Lucy and returns them to their respective owners (You first, of course), and when either you ask him about cleaning off the battlefield, he just gives you/her a nod, then focuses on all the mess with firmness, before he started to act out cleaning the field up.......and it happened. As he 'swept' and 'tidied up', all the equipment was scooted off the arena as if by magic - or, as you and your old partner could tell (in your own ways), through skillful application and manipulation of Psychic, Telekinetic, and Barrier powers. This butler is packing some neat tricks up his sleeves.....

=====

With the battlefield's clearance, you inevitably found yourself standing on the opposite end of it from Taylor, who was giving you a challenging smirk and twirling Lucy's Pokeball around on her pinky finger.

"Welp, I guess its about time we threw down the gauntlet and had a good old fashion and fun duel.......with a few twists from us, naturally. Heh heh.... In case you couldn't tell what my first choice will be, I'll give you four hints, and the first three aren't counted: it my girl! Now, let's see yours Reiner! Get ready, cause I -!"

Reiner's Alert: (2)(4)(4)(2)(3)(5)(3)(5)(2) - 2 Pass!

She abruptly cut herself off and threw ' her girl's ' ball out at lightning speeds, in a ploy to give her Pokemon an boost in Initiative! However, you were able to spot the tell tel signs and predict what she was trying to do, and therefore threw out your choice of Pokemon earlier to counter that underhanded play! Nice!

As it could be easily inferred, Taylor's choice of Pokemon was Lucy, who upon materializing immediately let out a LOUD, booming roar that sounded exactly a mix between a Dragon's battle cry and a thunder strike! A Dragonstrike, if you will.

In a matter of seconds, the sprinkling system activate and began pumping out vast quantities of water that was instantly converted into big, billowing, and black storm clouds that hung ominously overhead the arena, the occasional rumble of lighting and arcs of pure Electricity seen lighting up the nimbi. What's more, The Stormbringer was floating several feet off the ground, as if being propelled up by her own electromagnetic might!

Thunderstorm Weather is in effect! Surprise! Triggered: Magnet Rize has been used instantly upon release, rendering Lucy Immune to Ground Moves for 4 Rounds!

Initiatives:

Lucy: DEX (6) + Survival (3) + (6) = 15
Reiner's Choice (Guess who....): DEX (4) + Survival (3) + (6) = 13

Lucy goes first, and then whoever Reiner sends out. Gee, I wonder who that will be.....

Reiner Vs Taylor Battle Round 1 is about to start! Hit the music, 'cause its showtime!
