[Game] Lord Windos' PokeRole Adventure: Celadon City Vandel

[Lord Windos]

Reiner raises an eyebrow.  A literal dinosaur?  Where the heck did Arial get one of those from?  Ah, no matter.  No time to worry about that right now.

"You two done with your staring contest?  We've got an appointment to keep, ya know.  You can question the turtle later, partner.  Or answer its questions or whatever.  We don't have time for this right now."

*Flashback!*


Emprilla like the name of Asura, as he understand both its power and significance, and nods his head in agreement, while Carracosta scowls at your suggestion, before they decide to ignore you for the time being. She HAS a name, and refuses to be called anything other than it or Carracosta, and she since she had no way of telling Ariel what it is, he could piss right off with his branding!

*Flashback end!*

Carracosta broke off her stare and transfer it to you as she gapped at the utter gale you had to order around Mew, much less an elder like her. An angry scowl soon appeared on her snout, and she let out a *Grrrrraaawl!* as she suddenly let lose a torrent of water at you for your impudence!

Water Gun
Accuracy: DEX (*1) + Fight (2) + Brawl (2) + Single Action (2) = 7D6
(2)(4)(5)(3)(4)(6)(6) The wrath of the sea is made known! Critical Hit!
Damage: STR (*3) + 2 + STAB + Critical Hit (2) - Vitality (3) = 5D6 Damage
(5)(5)(5)(5)(5) Reiner takes 5 damage; 3/8 HP, - 2 Pain

You were knocked flat on your arse by the pressurized burst of water, and the furious hulking turtle stomped over to you, ready to pummel you into unconsciousness for the perceived slight against them/the pink pather, when Mew (Still invisible, mind you), shot in between you two and ping her, loud enough for you to 'hear' : 'Ea, stop it! This man is  named Reiner, and he is my partner, so don't you dare harm any further! I understand how important tradition and respect is to you and Kyorge, but you darn well know it isn't to me, so cut it out! Calm down, alright?'

The now named Ea had another look of disbelief on their face at this declaration, before crossing their fins and giving them a demanding look, before you clearly heard them say : 'Explain yourself and...this situation you are in, Mew. You are weakened and acting unlike yourself, so tell me what in Good Arceas' name happened?!'

'Its...complicated, Ea, but I'll send you the abriged version of event. Haaa....just....just don't freak out about this, ok? Its hard enough for me to keep everyone but this group distracted right now, so please don't give me an headache.'

For a few seconds, the divine feline's eyes glowed blue (Not that you could see, but you could sense it), and several expressions of shock, disbelief, flashed across the Carracosta's face, before it finally settled on one of complete exasberation. She face palmed and shook her head, grumbling out : 'By Giratina bellow, HOW?! How in the hell do you manage to screw up THAT badly?! Did you prank Victini again and he decided to lay a curse on you, or has Darkrai decided to make your nightmares come true again?! You know what? I don't care anymore. Your business is your business, and your mess is YOUR mess. Sort it out yourself, and pray to Arceas that none of your enemies or friends find out you are depowered and working with two Arms users, because you are so utterly boned if they do.' Ea then forcibly recalled herself to her Pokeball, as she did not want to deal with her (Mew's) shit.

Once the turtle retreated into their ball, the psychic feline helped you to your feet and quickly dried you off with her powers by telekinetically removing the water from your cloathing, before she pinged you, the message she sent filled with nervousness. 'Sorry about that, Reiner. Ea can get....grouchy when someone tries to order her around without showing proper respect to them or a Legendary. I'll explain what the deal is with her later, but can we please focus on taking down the Vampire and Buzzwole tonight? Its a long story, and we don't have a lot of time right now, like you said...'

[Spiritmon]

Arial was both shock and surprised. He didnt expect Levias go violent like that against Reiner. He could hold himself and almost laugh about Reiner situation. "I think you was, "wash" to the floor by Carracosta, hahaha. Looking for the bright side, you dont to take a shower later." He couldnt resist to make puns. But damn, he going to have a SERIOUS conversation with Levias later. There no reason to wash people around. But he is a little satisfied about Reiner have a little shower with that Water Gun. "Its not cool when the shoe is in the other feet huh Reiner? Like a old friend say to me, Social Skills. Learn to respect the elder." Arial then make a inocent smile.

[Dragonstrike]

(Ahem...still wearing the Arbok Flak Jacket, so Reiner should have +2 Defense and -1 Damage taken still...though it probably doesn't matter too much since Wigglytuff has Heal Pulse and we're still at the Center.  And I'm sure there's multiple Blissey and Chansey nearby as a result, including Angelica's...Softboiled can be used in the field in the games to heal allies a the expense of the user's HP, which they can then heal back with their own Softboiled. Kinda neat in this kinda scenario.)

"Ow...gosh darn it...why the heck does almost everything seem to hate me lately..."  Reiner gets up slowly (probably assisted by both Angelica and Kyubi, as well...), feeling rather grouchy himself.

'...*grumble*...I've got the utmost respect for you, and this is the thanks I receive...we're going to be late at this rate...I expect to hear that story once this business with the Vampire and Mina is done, by the way.  Better be good, considering you mentioned Kyogre.'

Once standing properly (and hopefully patched up rather quickly), Reiner looks towards Arial.  "I don't know where you got that turtle from, but frankly, I don't care.  And I wouldn't be so quick to poke fun at a situation you were only privy to a very, very small part of, if I were you.

"Now, if we're all done here, we need to get going.  Now."

[Spiritmon]

"Ah dont need to be heat headed about it, my friend. You could use some cool stuff to freeze that anger. But I think you already because you almost cool off by that Water Gun." Arial let out a tear from the funny. "Ah the humanity. I really warm up today. Lets keep going. After this funny scene lets go find that Vampire. Hoppefully, you can discount your frustration later man."

[Dragonstrike]

Reiner just glares at Arial.  "Stop talking and focus on the situation at hand.  We don't have time for any more idle chatter."

Reiner makes it a point to just outright ignore Arial for the time being.  He'd had enough of trying to deal with him for now, and he has other things to worry about.  Though if he continues to be an annoying little itch...

[Spiritmon]

"Focus in what situation? The wet situation? The Vampire situation? Or both? Whaterever, lets go. Oh almost forgot." Arial then give one toilet to Reiner. "I will ask later okie dokie? I just have that one. See ya!" Then Arial leave Reiner to mock later. Reiner is favourite victim after all.

[Lord Windos]

Blissey was quick to shove a Softboiled egg into your hands once things had completely calmed down, and hovered over you worriedly until you eaten it and fully restored your HP! Master was hurt, so it was her job to fix them up, even if said damage was relatively minor! 

Your personal police officer looked about ready to have a full blown panic attack over Ea's watery backlash, as she swiftly pulled out a Tazer and huddled closer to your side, with Kyubi swiftly tagging along to guard your flank, bothing glaring at Ariel for not keeping his Pokémon under control. If it was not for the fact that their Master was mostly alright despite the Carracosta's surprise assault, the madman would certainly be in a world of pain right about now! Mew just taped their paws together in embarrassment and slowly nodded her, not feeling her finest right now after letting an old 'friend' of hers get the drop on you, and obscuring information concerning the grouchy sea turtle.

'Looker' was mostly unfazed by this spectacle, though you did her him mutter under his breath in an amused tone : "Once again, trouble manages to find him before he could prepare for it, hehehe..." Once everyone settled down, you all departed from the Pokémon Center and found yourself neatly receiving a box containing all the Healing Items you ordered, while the Merchant chuckled in bemusement as she admire the gathering of people around you. "Hehehe...sew whet happened in there between yue end thet Carracosta there, Reiner! Gled tu see my hendywurk stedning op tu eh foll puwer deluge, but if yue continue being ceoght uff guard like this, yue'll be in need of mure then just my Medical Items! 'Corse, while thet wuld be gud fer biz, Ai dunt went eh vauled costumer ending op with eh knife between the culler bunes, su work on thet denger sense of yuers if at all pussible, hehehe! As moch as Ai went tu, Ai Cen't stick eruond and chetter, es Ai heve sume biz with other people tonight, su let's complete our trensection nuw!"

The moment gave them their Poke, they were gone in a blurr and a crackle; you couldn't even see them move, let alone the direction they were going. Just WHAT are they...besides being a great business person, of course!

Vampire Encounter Roll: (1) ...

As the group made their way towards the Aurum Vex., a shrill, piercing scream echoed throughout the area....before it was aburtly cut off.

You heard it clearly coming from one of the three side streets, two to the left and one to the right, that much you can tell right off the bat, but which one?

The first one on the left was cloacked in shadows, the lights along its way either dead or dim, and you could hear the faint sound of something lurking over there; it was a place that reaked of stark desolation.

The other on the left was well lite, but the glow only showed the state of disrepair and how run down it looked; it looked like a place that Celdon just forgot one unfaithful day, and that Nature decided to claim for itself

The one on the right was just another regular street in the city, unlike its grim relatives on the other side; yet, even the plainest things could hide deadly secrets, if you know where to look.

You don't have time to search them all.

You are not sure if you have time to search even one, with the deadline to meet Mina loaming overhead.

The only thing you are all sure of is that you don't have enough time.

Choose.

[Dragonstrike]

Shoot.

Not good.

"Kyubi, Emily, be very, very careful.  This is going to get hairy very quickly at the rate this is going."

Behind his back, Reiner signals to Petrel (and the others by extension) to be on guard and send out his ghosts to lurk in the shadows.  Meanwhile, Reiner's summoned Shiinotic to light the surrounding area, and Felicia prowling alongside as well.

That dark street was probably where the Vampire was lurking, and he didn't want to be caught completely unawares.

"Shiinotic, this is a life or death situation we're in right now.  Keep the area around us lit, and if you would be so kind as to cripple anything that tries to attack us, that would be wonderful.  Confuse Ray, Spore, Strength Sap...doesn't really matter, so long as the attackers aren't able to mess with us very easily.  Felicia, keep an eye out for any strange movements in those shadows, and be ready to react."

[Spiritmon]

Following Reiner instructions he bring his Astronite to scan the area with his psychic powers. "Baltazar, keep us informed about any move surround us. Use any move to stop the Vampire from move. Gaspar you stay with me. If you see that Vampire, confuse ray to death."

[Lord Windos]

The little miss, while very much frightened by the scream from earlier ( judging by the fear that her mind was drenched in), firmly and defiantly took control of her terror, and quietly gave Reiner a nod of her head. Emily was afraid, afraid that the monster in the dark would come and take her  away, but she had you, her life saving hero to safeguard her future. The one person that, more than anyone else in the world, she could stake her life in, believing with all her heart and SOUL that you were her Guardain, her Protector, her Savoir, and that not even death itself could deny her of your protection and care.
After all, isn't that the undeniable truth? Wouldn't you do anything for them?
Kyubi bare her pointy, sharp teeth, and began to growl in such a low pitch only you and Petrel could hear it, though the later was too distracted summoning and command his ghost to infiltrate and patrol the shadows. The fire fox was partically hugging your backside now, and you could vividly feel the waves of heat roiling of their frame, and felt the familiar tension of waiting for her target, her prey to come out of their hiding spot in the shadow, so that she could tear their throat out, rip them to piece, before BURNING THEM ALIVE. No one would harm her Master so long as she drew breath in this new life he gave her. No one.
The kitsune would burn the whole world to cinders, if it was the only way to protect her beloved.
Shiintonic gave you a nervous look, very uncomfortable at having to follow the commands of the man who's giant POISONOUS snake nearly turned them into compost (And not the good kind), but they obeyed Reiner never the less, and soon enough a faint white glow bathed the area around the group. If this was a do or die situation for the fae shroom, he rather do whatever it took to live, and regret his choices later! Felicia nodded her head, and she slipped into the shadows casted by the Illuminated Mushroom; you wouldn't even if she was there was it not for your empathy.

You also took the liberty to retrieve and turn on your Narrow Beam Lattern, as I would assume that is what Reiner would do had you thought of it.

Everyone journied into the dark, gloomy streets, waiting for the worse to happened, for the demon of the night to began her hunt.

Nothing happened. Nothing.

Despite how bleak the place looked, once a bit of natural and unnatural lighting was introduced to the mix, appeared to be perfectly normal in all rights. You heard that shuffling noise once more, and you shone your light source to spot a Mewoth and Murkrow fighting over some Poke and Items strewn over the ground, both of which startled and bolted into a side ally. Croaching down, you find it was a torn up bag filled all sorts of high quality art supplies, a couple of sketch pads filled with doodles and pictures of magnificent quality that seemed oddly familiar, about $10000 Poke strean around the ground and in the Bag in total, a Alola Pokedex, and two Pokeballs, one of which contains an Alola Ninetales, and the other a Shiny Luxelong.

Digging around a bit more, you managed to find an the person's ID, laying a little bit further away from the main mess.

It read as follow: Mina Mab , Pokémon Trainer, Proffesional Artist, and all around easy going woman.

You could not read the rest of it, for it was covered in a viscous, sticky red fluid; you couldn't tell if it was blood, paint, or some combination there of.

Looks like you were right about the Vampire lurking around here.

Just not when.

Two more streets left. Where could the Vampire be?
No second chances. What could have the Vampire done by now?
