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

[Lord Windos]

Spoiler

Reiner gives Weavile a confused look, but turns his attention back to the battle just as quickly.  Yup, no time to wonder about that right now!

Reiner shakes his head in response to Clair.  "No, you're losing yourself, slowly but surely, and it's only a matter of time before you're not going to resemble my cousin any more in the slightest.  I could do far, far worse than buff my own pokemon on a very, very temporary basis, Clair.  I've faced three people with these weapons other than you so far, and the only one who didn't lose themselves to their weapon was the one person who didn't appear to be using it at all.  I don't want to lose my cousin to one of these @%$# Cursed Arms.  You did well to hold out for half the battle, but it only takes one slip up for the weapon to take over.  Once you've had a taste of their power, you want to keep using them, and they slowly grab ahold of you until you finally succumb to their harsh drawbacks...that is why they're not worth the prices you have to pay for using them.  Even in moderation, they're just as dangerous to you as they are to everyone else."

Out comes Kingdra in response to Aerodactyl.  The air suddenly gets very damp...which should definitely be a surprise to Clair.

"...if you harm even a single scale on my lifelong companion, there WILL be consequences.  Mark.  My.  Words."

There's a deadly serious look in his eyes...

Let's see some initiative for Kingdra and Aerodactyl then before we roll out some orders!

Reiner's Perssausion Attempt: Same as last time + 2 for a more nuanced and reasoned argument!
(2)(1)(6)(6)(1)(3)(3)(4)(5)(6)(4) 6 Successes
Berserker Clair's Resistance
(3)(1)(6)(3)(3)(4)(5)(3)(3)(4)(2)(2)(1)(6) 4 Successes
Result: 2/7 Successes to snap Clair out of it; Perssausion can not be attempted again until the start of the next round.

The hendonistic and savage smirk your now excessively draconic cousin sport wavered for a scant few seconds as your words manage to penetrate past the pleasant wild ferocity the was coursing through her.......before she violently shook their head and scowled at you with all her nice a sharp teeth.

"Rrrrrrrrrrr, well, what in the ancient Dragon's name do YOU come off lecturing me about MY sacred artifact's power?! YOU, who broke into the Dragon's Den and stole away the Dragon Scale and evolved your Kingdra against better JUDGEMENT, and ended up DESTROYING ALMOST ALL OF BLACKTHORN! YOU, who choose CRIME AND SIN, instead of working for REDEMPTION AND HONOR, throwing EVERYTHING I AND OUR FAMILY TAUGHT YOU AND HURTING DEEPLY FOR IT! YOU, who have done UNSPEAKABLE AND TERRIBLE THINGS, just to further your own ends, save your precious little neck, AND IGNORING OTHER, KINDER OPTIONS! "

Her voice grew louder and more charged with wrath and spite as she continued, until she was frothing at the mouth in pure RAGE at our words!

"My little dragon, you have NO RIGHT or PRIVILAGE to CRITIZE my USE OF THIS POWER, for you have done FAR WORSE THAN I EVER HAVE, AND PERHAPS EVER WILL!! SO WHAT IF YOU ARE RIGHT ABOUT MEGIDO'S REVELATION OVERWHELMING ME, BUT I JUST CAN'T FIND MYSELF TO CARE ABOUT THAT WHEN YOU ARE THE ONE JUDGING ME FOR IT!!!"

Clair's Decision
(2)(4) Despite riling her up, she still decided to be 'merciful'

"RRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRR, ENOUGH TALKING, MORE RIPPING AND TEARING!!! AERODACYTL, DEMOLSIH HIS KINGDRA! SHOW HIM THAT TYPE ADVANTAGES DON'T MEAN SQUAT WHEN IT COMES TO YOUR ANCIENT FEROCITY!"

The prehistoric dragon lets out a almost ear bleeding screech as M.R.'s energies and her master's Berserk fever course through them, fully priming her to brutalize the H20 out of the queen of the sea! They'll BREAK upon their Rock typing before they drown in THEIR'S!

Initiatives:

Kingdra: DEX (*4) + Survival (3) + (3) = 10
Aerodactyl: DEX (*5) + Survival (*4) + (1) = 10

Aerodactyl has more DEX, so she goes first, then Kingdra.

New Music: Battle Against a True Berserker!

Clair Arendse Battle Round 8?!

Spoiler

"No...NO GASPAR PLEASE NO!" Then Arial simple go in the direction of the remaines of Gaspar body. "PLEASE NO NO NO NO NO! THIS CANT BE HAPPENING! GASPAR PLEASE IF THERE A GOD PLEASE! I WANT TO BE REPLACED! NOT LIKE THIS! NO NONO!" Arial cry a lot. "Please...I cant live without you...please I beg you...return to me..." Then between his tears he only see rage. "You...." then he still see that damn Muk. "You did this!" In his pure rage he take his knife and begin to kill that damn Muk! "YOU KILL YOU KILL YOU KILL HIM YOU KILL YOU KILL HIM!" Arial after that huff in rage.

Then Arial finally stops he decides to takes his pokemon and use his only Ultra Ball to capture Gligar and return his pokemons. He go to the Pokemon Center and heal his pokemons. Including Gligar. He release his pokemons and say some last words. "I cant live without my dear brother. So you are all free now...take care of yourselfs and find happiness."

After that Arial find a bridge. And he say his last words. "I cant live a world without you brother...So I joining with you now." Then he put one feet in that bridge. "In afterlife." Then he jumps. To join with Gaspar in Giratina realm.

And thus, thats the end of Arial CopyCat. The Madman of Celdon City.

Oh no no no! Don't go breaking our deal now, little jester! The warrenty is still in place, heheheheheHA!!

You successfully murdalize the Delta Muk, sending him to here after just like it sent off your beloved sibling. Revenge is yours. You and all your Pokémon (Including Shiny Gligar) gain 20 XP.

After healing your Pokémon and releasing them into a safe/private location to inform them of your deathwish, they all reacted predictably: EXTREMELY POORLY. You were all but DOGPILLED as Melchoir and Sekmet charged at you, each of them expressing the SEVERE disagreement with such a....well, suicidal choice.

Melchoir lets out a loud and worried *Rwwwwoooooooaaaar...........* and repeating butts their head against your face to both comfort you AND snap you out of your depressed state of mind. No master, don't go!!! Don't....don't do that!!! Their cat sibling may have died horribly in battle, but they did it to protect YOU , and he,.....they.....the both of them wouldn't/didn't want to lose you to the Underworld too.....! Please, please consider, PLEASE!!!

Sekmet was pressed against your chest and lower body, a rumbling *bbbbzzzzzrrrrrttttt* ....emanating from her as she stared at you with teary eyes. You were.....going to leave her? After promising to care of her, the fun (if more than a little rough) times they have together, becoming the first person they've deeply cared about since......EVER. Why.....why would do that?! No, you can't do that, she refuses to let you kill yourself! You are going to care and be responsible for her and EVERYONE of your Pokémon, got it *BBZZzzzzzzRrrrttT!*

Baltazar......Baltazar just kneeled downed and placed a hand on your shoulder, and gazed deeply in your eyes. They know the pain and heartache you are suffering is well and truly beyond all comprehension, just like the lose of your foster father was and being broken by those ungodly Psychics. But they also know that deep down you are a powerful person as well, one with the ability to endure the harships life throws at you, laugh it off, and ever surpass your limitation. Do not let Gaspar's sacrifice be in vain. Live, laugh, and love. Be strong, Master.

Asura didn't look pleased one bit, as while he wasn't particularly Loyal or Happy with you, he didn't find you THAT wanting or detestible to see your upcoming suicide as anything less than undesirable. He used one of his hands to motion to every Pokémon in the room, pointing out how distressed and unhappy they were with his choice, before crossing his arms and pinning you in place with a firm stare. As master and leader of your Pokémon party, it was your solumn duty to provide for their needs and ensure their happiness, and they in term would give their fealty towards you and do their utmost to carry out their will. Slaying yourself over the lose of one of your subjects was not an appropriate course of action, for your party has spoken out against it. Will you listen to their pleas, or ignore them and have them suffer the consequence of your death?

Ea (who you only know as Carracosta) just stared at you for a long time......before she shook her head in disguist, stomped over to you, and used her flipper to smack you upside the head. She did not like you, she did not respect you, and she certainly had a problem with your personality, but she hated your cowardous even more! All life was precious, no matter how deplorable or rueful the being that possessed it was. To give it up for so...so weak reason, and hurt everyone that loves and relies on you......it was unforgivable! So get your head out of your ass and deal with you grief, instead of succumbing to it!!!

Shiny Gligar........they looked like death warmed over themselves, hunched over and seemingly trapped within their own despair. They.....they were responsible for provoking the Detla Muk into blowing themselves up. For killing Gaspar, the funny and playful cat who was on the fast track of becoming friend with. For depressing the fun loving and jolly man that so readily accepted them in their life without hardly asking anything, and indirectly making them contemplate suicide. All of it. .......Maybe if they die.....he should too. It...it would only be fitting, right......?

You...you could somehow get the jist of all your Pokémon were conveying to you, and you wondered whether or not your contact with the T.P.K. was responsible for this, or the end result of all the growing you've done. Regardless, you got their message loud and clear: They did not want you to die. They wanted you to LIVE.

What will be your answer to them........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................?

With a shuddering gasp, you bolt awake off the ground......before you almost immediantly collaspe onto it again when the damage and shrapnel  produced by the Explosion caused the most equisite Pain imaginable, causing you to groan in misery/esctascy (He IS a Masocist). After a couple of minutes of enduring this sensation, you managed to get used to it enough to twist yourself upwards and survayed  your immediate surroundings.

You happen to find yourself  blow far away from the battlefield, overlooking the carnage that resulted from Delta Muk's Explosion. Sekmet was half collapsed on the ground, letting out horrible, stasticly wails of Pain as bright green blood dripped from its many injuries, scorching the ground as its impacts. Shiny Gilgar was looking in terrible condition, shrapnel sticking out of its body at multiple sites as their blood ran freely, but somehow they managed to muster enough energy to stay conscious. Asura was miraculously unharmed, a fact that stunned them as much as you.

And you then you see......nothing else? No signs Gaspar or the Delta Muk? What?

This scene is hauntly familiar, yet even more weirdly different.

Its almost like a bad case of de ja vu, isn't it?

HeheheheheheheheHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! That was a rather neat trick I performed, wasn't it? Well, not really, but let's pretend it is and move on, shall we?

You might be wondering what the hell happened, yes? The simple answer is thus: I fulfilled my part of the bargin and brought you back to life, as per our agreement. As for payment......well, I decided to give you a taste of another possiblity ! I weaved it with from illusion and the very fabric of that timeline itself, and forced you into a dream of a 'Bad Future' , one were Gaspar was the one to pay the price for your life. Why, you ask?

Well, I wanted to see how you would react to such a thing, and I have to say you certainly didn't exceed my expectations. Almost immediately became suicidal, only stopping in your quest of death long enough not to condemn them to the same fate, and threw yourself of a bridge! You went *SPLAT* impressively when you collided with the water, though, so I'll give that much credit to you in that scenario, hehehehehehe!

Of course, I couldn't just let you die, as that would violate my deal with you, so I decided to.....tweek things a bit. I rewinded the 'Dream' to that critical moment you abandoned them all, and just quietly whispered in your Pokémon's hearts to 'Stop him.' The rest solved itself rather beautifully, if I do say so myself! Then, I simply ended the 'Dream' right then and there, to give yet another shock to your system!

And here you are, alive and whole, but hardly unharmed.

Now, you may be wondering why I did all that to you.

Simple, really:

Because you let me.

Because I wanted to teach you a lesson.

And, of course, just because.

You didn't specify or ask what would you would suffer in exchange for your life, so I took free liberty to be creative to my heart's content!

I also wanted to ingrain a few lessons into that shattered mind of yours, so that you won't prove to be a liability to my main ally in the future. After all, what is not the best way to learn, then by example, experience, Pain, and Failure.

To that end, the 'Bad Future Dream' was created, and from it......

I wanted you to learn that it pays to be vigilant, cautious, and intelligent, or otherwise it will cost you instead.

I wanted you to learn to be careful what you wish for, and always inquire about the details of any deal.

Most importantly of all, I wanted you to learn the impact you have on other people's lives, and that suicide is ultimately a permenant solution to problems that can be made temporary.

Such a nasty thing.....its a wonder why I even allow such an phenomena to exist in the first place.....oh yes, because I still hope my little sister someday commits it herself! Silly me!

Anyway!

I wanted you to learn all this, to suffer all this, just so you don't go and make these same mistakes again if and should they occur. You are no use to me or my ally if you are dead or dispondant, so please take this as a learning experience, and do better in the many futures that await you. Of course, you can feel free too jolly well ignore me, if wish to be defiant and idiotic! Ignorance IS blissful fun, especially when you willfully make it a privilege at the expense of others, hehehehe!

Additionally, I also took that Delta Muk for myself, as additional payment for you blunders and 'revival' . You lost the chance to catch it when it ended up destroying you, so I'll just put it to my own use. You can keep the XP you and your Pokémon gained from slaying it, though. I'm not that greedy; just exacting.

Now, I do believe I've fully explained myself, so I'll just leave you to stew on this. Cheerio~






....Oh wait, I almost forgot: you can find Reiner fighting Clair at this location *Gives you knowledge of where they are* . Just in case he fails, I want you to bail his ass out with Riza, alright? Alright!

Cheerio for real this time, heheheheheHA~!

Arial was in shock. About the possible future. His death. Gaspar death and all that bad experience he suffer. That mysteryous voice/person somehow change reality itself. He get up and he see Sekmet status and Shiny Gligar. "Sekmet! Gligar! I got you two!" Then Arial returns Sekmet back to the pokeball. He picking up Gligar in his arms, and be careful to not warm him. "I have to get you two to the pokecenter. But I have to put inside a pokeball Gligar. I promise I release you when everything end, I promise!" Then Arial use a Pokeball and put Gligar inside. Then he decides to talk with that mysteryous person. "I remember you. You are the one who give that visions when Riza kipnap me. I dont know who or what you are, but you bring me back. And somehow bring back my brother Gaspar. I dont you goals but...thank you. I will make sure I will not forget that lessons. See my brother die was the mostly terrible experience I ever have in my life...I dont want to suffer this feeling ever again. My brother is okay? Is he alive? And what name I should call you?"

[Dragonstrike]

...


...he got through.

...

...it was going to be slow going, but he got through.

...

...bah, this was going to be difficult...not enough time for Mew to get that Lum Berry....

...

...so be it, then.

"Kingdra, let's show off your second new trick!  Drench the opposition with your mighty torrents!"

Skill Swap EX
Accuracy: only matters if the target evades.
Effect: +1 Priority.  Swaps Kingdra's Damp and the opponent's ability.

Hydro Pump x3! (Brine instead if Aerodactyl is at half HP or less)
Accuracy: 4* Dex + 5 Fight + 3 Canalize - 5/6/7 Actions - 2 Accuracy = 5/4/3 D6 (7/6/5 for Brine)
Damage: 5 Power + 5* Strength + STAB + Damp + SE - 7* Defense = 5 D6 + 1 Damage
Effect: none, but only need 4 successes to crit!

Reiner has two Full Heals ready if Kingdra gets statused.  Kingdra can use leftover actions to set up Dragon Dance and Focus Energy.

'Mew, forget the Lum Berry for now.  Set up a Barrier for Kingdra.  She's going to need the added protection.  I'll make it look like I set it up.  Not much different than using an X-Defense, after all.'

Good ol' Barrier...using it to protect someone else should be feasible, yes?

Barrier!
Accuracy: 16 D6
Effect: +2 Defense!  (Would bring Kingdra to 9)

Gligar enters into the Pokeball without complaint, as they trust you by this point in time and would rather not bleed out in the middle of a scrapyard, thank you very much!

As for your questions posed to Those That Shall Not Be Directly Named, it went unanswered for the longest time.......until I decided to humor the little jester's request.

Hehehehe......most would despise me for what I subjected you to for my own caprcious desires, but instead you thank me for it. If I didn't know you any better, I would call you a madman and a fool, but since that is in essence what you are , I believe its an all to fitting response! Certainly amusing and interesting, by my supposition!

Your brother is fine, if not shaken up for you being made into a shrapnel cushion, but then again, who wouldn't be? As for what to call me....hehehe, well I'm known by many things, little jester , so what appealation do I give to you.....?

Ah, I know! You may call me......Volric, The Illusive Darkness , Arial Copycat Schrodinger. A lesser known name of mine, but its fitting for what you know of me.

Now, I really must be going! So much to do, and so many plans to put in motion, hehehehe.......

........They are gone, and you have a feeling they wouldn't be answering you again. Presuming you go straight to the Pokémon Center to seek medical treatment for yourself and your Pokémon (Something that's going to tie you up for the rest of Reiner's Encounter), what are you going to be planning for the future?

After that strange situation, Arial go straight to the Pokemon Center (The place where that Nurse Joy always take treat his Xenoqueen). "My Pokemon got terrible wounds from a battle against a Muk and myself. I need help with emergency please! Including that Gligar who have the most serious situation." Then he decided to wait for the others get okay. Arial after got some medicaments he bring out his brother back from his pokeball. He simple stare Gaspar from many seconds and simple hug him when he was crying. "Thanks Mutious you are okay! I...I...*sob* I was thinking I have lost you brother...It was my fault...I should have accept the offer from get out of that place...I really have should...I...I...*sob and crying a lot when Gaspar in his arms*. Dont do that ever again brother...you mean the world to me...a lot...I love you..." Arial was there hugging his pseudo-brother, crying and sobbing, like a real cry baby. He never cry like that since...since their father die...poor man....

'Mew, forget the Lum Berry for now.  Set up a Barrier for Kingdra.  She's going to need the added protection.  I'll make it look like I set it up.  Not much different than using an X-Defense, after all.'

Mew was rather quick to ping you back with at your request, a tone of rueful disappointment lacing her message. 'Eeenope, I'm afraid that not possible Reiner, at least how you or I want it. The Barriers I make function a localized global shield around me, like this * Sends you a Mental Image of her using Barrier * , and in my current state of relative powerlessness I can't manifest around on anyone other than myself, and certainly not invisibly. Unless you want me to join the battle and act as point defense for Kingdra, she's not getting any more protection than she has right now. Bah, I hate being burnt out......'

*sigh*

'...alright, just be ready then.  No time for the Lum Berry still.  Not when Clair's going to burn through two of my pokemon faster than it takes you to get to it.  Of course, she's going to be burning through her own pokemon just as quickly in this state...'

Reiner does hand her ONE more item behind his back, though.

The glowing UB gem.

'When Kingdra goes down, we're sending you in to face what's next.  I have some trump cards lined up for this.'

Clair Arendse Battle Round 8?!

The queen of the sea wastes no time whatsoever in carrying out your orders, using her newly acquired powers to swap of Damp ability with that of Aerodactyl's Pressure! Clair obviously and INSTANTLY notices the immense force generated by her prehistoric dragon dissapait and the air around her grow humid, the more than irate woman to furiously scowl while at the same time grit her teeth and glare daggers at you and Kingdra. "WHAT IN THE NAME OF RAYQUAZA?! HOW DID YOU TEACH KINGDRA SKILL SWAP, AND CHANGE HER ABILITY TO DAMP?! HOW IN THE HELL DO YOU KEEP PULLING OFF THE FUCKING IMPOSSIBLE?!?! GRRAAAAAAAH, NO MATTER! AERODACTYL, TIME FOR PLAN B: MEGA EVOLUTION!"

As Clair says this, she pull out ANOTHER fresh Key Stone and hold it high up in the air, and soon their after it and the ancient flying lizard where surrounding by bright, swirling, rainbow light, it was blown away by the Pokémon impressive power, revealing Mega Aerodactyl to the world!!!



In addition.....

Clair's Decision
(6)(5)

She also pull out what looked to be a mini techno music box, which she quickly activated, causing it to produce a mystical sounding song! Lucky Music Box used! No Critical Hits from Reiner's Pokémon, and all (1)s are removed from Clair's Pokémon for 4 Rounds!

"AHAHAHAHAHAHA, DIDN'T EXPECT THIS, DIDN'T YOU MY PRECIOUS LITTLE DRAGON?! IF YOU ARE GOING AROUND PLAYING SNEAKY AND UNFAIR TRICKS, ITS ONLY FAIR THAT I RETURN THE FAVOR, ISN'T IT !!??!!  "

The newly minted prehistoric powerhouse let out a loud defiant screech at that sentiment, before....

Mega Aerodactyl's Decision
(6)(5)

...to sharpen their own claws in anticipation for tearing meaty chucks of its aquatic nemesis!

Hone Claws
Accuracy: DEX (*6) + Fight (*6) + Brawl (5) - 5 Actions - 2 From Pressure (Triggered!) = 10D6 Dice
(1)(5)(3)(2)(3)(1)(2)(6)(6)
Mega Aerodactyl's STR and Accuracy increased by 1!

With their talons now wickedly sharp, the paleolithc dragon let out another ear bleeding screech, before they darted over to Kingdra and grabbed them , hoisting them up high up into the air, before dropping them straight back onto the cruel, hard ground!

Sky Drop Charging, and Kingdra is Flitched while this is happening!

Sky Drop (Attack)
Accuracy: 17D6 Base Dice + 1 Accuracy - 7 Actions - 2 Pressure (Triggered!) = 9D6 Dice
(5)(5)(1)(6)(5)(4)(3)(1)(6) *BAAAAAM!* Critical Hit!
Damage: STR (*9) + 2 + STAB + Crit + Tough Claws - Vitality (5 [Tough Claws Triggered!]) = 10D6 Damage
(4)(6)(6)(3)(5)(6)(1)(6)(4)(1) Kingdra takes 7 Damage; 4/11 HP ; - 1 Pain!
Mega Aerodactyl takes 3 Damage for backlash! 8/11 HP, - 1 Pain!

Rather irate at being manhandled like that, the whirlpool mistress lets loose a raging torrent of water straight at her brutal opponents!

Hydro Pump
(1)(4)(6) Hits!
Damage: STR (*5) + 5 + STAB + SE - Vitality (*11 [Surprise!]) = 1D6 + 1 Damage
(1) Mega Aerodactyl takes 1 Damage; 7/11 HP !

Both you and the draconic queen are stunned when her Hydro Pump hardly even phased the cragged flying fiend, though it clearly didn't like being soaked! She hated it so much, in fact, that she promptly divebomb them and attempted to savage them with her sparking teeth!

Thunder Fang
Accuracy: 17D6 Base Dice - 8 Actions + 1 Accuracy - 1 Accuracy - 2 Pressure - 1 Pain = 6D6 Dice
(2)(1)(3)(5)(2)(3) Hit!
Damage: STR (*9) + 2 + Tough Claws - Vitality (5 [Tough Claws Triggered!]) = 6D6 Damage
(4)(6)(5)(4)(4)(3) Kingdra takes 5 Damage; 2/11 HP !
Mega Aerodactyl takes 2 Damage from backlash! 5/11 HP , - 2 Pain !
Flitch: (6)(3) Kingdra is Flitched!
Paralysis: (1)(4) Nope

Seeing their aquatic's foe's moment of vulnerability, the prehistoric powerhouse decides to lash out with a more frigid bite this time!

Ice Fang
Accuracy: 4D6 Dice
(6)(3)(4)(6) Hit!
Damage: 6D6 Damage
(1)(6)(4)(5)(4)(4) Kingdra is laid low by the draconic energy fueled chomp!
Mega Aerodactyl takes 2 Damage from backlash! 3/11 HP !
Flitch: Doesn't Matter
Frozen: (5)(4) Nope

Your Berserk cousin only let out a string of maniacal laughter as your most trusted and closely bonded companion (Besides Weavile and Mew, of course) was obliterated by her Mega Aerodactyl, with the beast in question sharing their same deranged joy as well with her own screech laughs!

"Such a pity Kingdra could barely even scratch my Aerodactyl, cousin! That's what you get FOR UNDERESTIMATING ME AND BEING A CHEATING BASTARD! If my Aerodactyl falls next round, it'll only be because she done most of the hard work for you!!!"

I presume Mew's going to be up next, so I'll roll out her Initiative: (5) + *6 DEX + 3 Survival = 14; Mew goes first.

What are the orders, mate?

"...I'm not trying to save my skin right now.  I'm trying to save yours.  And you're making it very difficult to do that.  If you don't calm down, you really WILL hurt me.  Or Mew.  Or Kingdra, or another of my pokemon, or all of Celadon...that's not you, Clair.  If you succumb to that power Megido's Revelation is giving you, there's no going back.  You ask what right I have to judge you for losing yourself to that Cursed Arm?  I speak as someone who's seen what happens when the weapon takes over."

"That bug-like human I mentioned earlier?  Her name's Riza Bete.  An orphan.  She found Residuam Culicidae on a dead man, was enamored with the power it granted her.  She thought she could handle it."

"...she couldn't.  Stretched herself too thin, just like you are right now.  Permanently turned her into the bug eyed monstrosity she is today.  One that had to kill young women like you and drink their blood in order to live.  Earned her the nickname Vampire.  And earned the ire of all she came across, too.  Including Celadon's when she showed up here earlier this week.  Her only friends are bug pokemon."

"Romeo and Juliet.  A literally crazy in love couple that killed on a whim whenever they got angry.  Juliet was the previous wielder of Telekinetic Psychosomatic Killer, and she used it to drive a little girl as insane as she was and get her to join their family.  Then they threatened to do the same to me."

"Mamudo Eclipse.  Previous wielder was Valarie Malcolm.  It's a simple weapon, with no fancy effects at base.  Just like any other gun.  Minus the fact that it can't miss if you don't want it to, at the price of hurting yourself almost as much as you hurt your target.  He's the only one of those three that didn't appear to be heavily reliant on using his weapon, and it showed."

"All of these weapons have one thing in common: anything you do to your enemies, you also do to yourself."

"...can you really return to Blackthorn with your head held high if you're not the same person you were when you were proclaimed its gym leader?  Would Lance want such a ruthless individual representing Blackthorn's corner of the League?  Sure, you'll have beaten me...but there won't be any winners in this war if you win this battle in that manner.  I'd rather return to Blackthorn with my cousin, not a merciless dragon that doesn't care for how much harm she does to both herself and everyone around her."

'Mew, use that UB gem and Iron Head that Aerodactyl a few times.  Let's show Clair what fighting a mythical is like, and give her a small taste of what we faced last night as well.  Maybe it is a little risky since we don't know what giving you that kind of power might do to you in your current state, but if we don't go all in, we don't stand a chance.  And I'm right here to help you stay in control if things start to go wrong for some reason.'

Iron Head x3
Accuracy: 6* Dex + 5 Fight + 2 Brawl - 3/4/5 actions = 10/9/8 D6
Damage: 3 Power + 7* Strength + 1 Aura + SE - 11* Defense (seriously, this seems like overkill. It's already got +3 from mega and Megido, so why did it need another +3 from a surprise?) = 1 D6 minimum + 1 Damage
Effect: 3 D6 chance to flinch!

And if Mew has any leftover attacks this round, she can use them to smash that music box in whatever way she sees fit!

(Also, Mew should have 14 HP max, not 12.  5 vitality + 9 base HP = 14. Still at 11 HP after Stealth Rock EX is factored in, though :/ )

[Lord Windos]

(4)(2)(3)(1)(4)(6)(6)(6)(4)(1)(3)(5)(1)(1) 7 Success Successes

Result: No progress, still 2/7 Needed

Despite the excellent and passonate speech that should have by all rights should have hit home like a shot to the heart, Clair just clutches her head and vigorously shakes it back and forth, yelling out while doing so “STOPITSTOPITSTOPITSTOPITSTOPITSTOPITSTOPITSTOPITSTOPIT!!!”

Clair’s Decision
(2)(5) Still ‘Merciful!’

“STOP TRYING TO TRICK ME, AND MAKE ME WEAK AND EASY PREY TO YOU AND YOUR POKEMON! I WILL NOT GIVE UP THIS FIGHT UNTIL I AM THE VICTOR! AERODACTYL, ATTACK!!!”

Mew just ruefully shakes their head, before she stared at the elderitch Item you handed to her with a look of trepidation……and yet of determination too. 

‘*Sighs* Welp, you tried to get through to her, but I guess she’s having none of it right now, huh? Guess its time…..’
 
Ultra Beast Gem Used! Mew gains Ultra Beast Aura! UB G. Shatters!

(3) Mega Aerodactyl takes 1 Damage; 2/11 , - 3 Pain!
Mega Aerodactyl’s Decision
(3)(1) Derp

Instead of touching down upon the ground to rest up a bit before continuing the fight after narrowly being worn down from her fight, the prehistoric powerhouse whole body involuntarily jerks away as she let out an WILD screech, correctly her course to instead get an extra hit on the pink panther!

Strike

Mega Aerodactyl KOes itself from backlash! Her pimp hand was too strong!

That blow nearly knocked the wind out of the pretty in pink feline, but she managed to grit her teeth and tank the blow like a champ as her opponent finally succumbed to their own raging power! She let out a very unflattering string of curses in Poketalk that you had the feeling would Scald your ears if you could understand them, before she darted toward the music box your Berserk cousin had set off to the side to destroy it as ordered!

Iron Head 2 (On L.M.B!)
(2)(6)(2)(4)(1)(6)(6)(2) 4 Successes!

Berserker Clair’s Decision
(2)(3) Uh Oh.

Mew managed to swoop on in and crushed that mystical music box, abruptly cutting off the protective tunes it was producing! L.M.B. Destoryed! Crits and (1)(1) Failures are back in action on her side!

For a brief moment Clair was stunned by the actions of your Partner…..before an ANGRY AND MURDEROUS snarl ripped across thier face, before her right hand darted out at the Mythic!

Clair’s Dragon Strike!
Accuracy: 17D6 + 2 Single Action – 4 Extra Lethal Hit= 15D6 Dice

Damage: STR (*7) + *2 + STAB (*2) + Crit + Extra Lethal – Vitality (*9) - UBA = 6D6 - 1 Damage
(5)(3)(1)(1)(1)(5) Mew manages to shrug off the blow thanks to the increadible energy flowing through her!
Clair takes 1 Damage from backlash! 9/10 HP

Your divine partner in all manner of things was swift to retreat back to your side of the battlefield after that successful but near disasterous smash run, pinging you with a half livid, half scared tone pervading it!

“Reiner, did….did you see that?! Your….Your cousin tried to gut me with that swipe of hers, like a Magikarp!!! If it wasn’t for this icky feeling Ultra Beast Aura surrounding me and Lady Luck being merciful for once, I’d be bleeding out like a stuck pig now!! Are you absolutely SURE its necessary to talk her down, instead of just wailing on her until she gives?!”
“ I know you don’t want to hurt Clair, but she honestly just tired to KILL- wow CRAP, did you just feel….feel that? That….That surge of power…….wildness……and KILLING INTENT!”

Indeed, both you and the Mythic were distracted by that ominous burst of power, and your heads snaps towards Clair, and gasped as you literally saw a miasma of….of Vicicousness, Savagery, Wrath, Greed, Pride, Jealously, Lust, Sloth, Gluttonery……and most promenient of all pure, unfettered D R A G O N surrounded her. Her head was faced down, and both hands were clenched into fists tight enough that blood began to drip from them, the drops *Hissssing* as they came into contact with the ground and began to burn a whole through it. She was shaking head and toe , and whether it be from the M.R. ‘inspiring her’ or it came purely from within, you knew without a shadow of a doubt that she. Was. MAD.

Seconds latter after observing all this, the now fully Berserk Clair snapped her head towards you , staring at you with slitted, fully draconic eyes that furiously radiated an unearthly purple light. The next moment, she let out a she let out a incomprehsible roaring cries that shook the earth and air, its meaning lost unto you completely .

“ I AM CLAIR ARENDSE, THE DRAGON QUEEN !!! "

" MY PURPOSE WILL NOT BE DEFIED !!! "

"YOU WILL BE MINE, LITTLE DRAGON, EVEN IF I HAVE TO DEVOUR ALL THAT GUARDS YOU !!!"

“YOU ARE MINE !!! "

" MINE !!! "

" MIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINE !!!”

The raging Dragon that was now your cousin then sent out her next Pokemon, and out came a ……Garchomp?!?! How and WHEN did your cousin manage to grab THIS exemplar of the Dragon typing?!
