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

[Lord Windos]

"Nothing more for the time being.  Just need those Balm Mushrooms, and then I can go  have another private chat with Erika concerning the future collaboration.  Anything in particular you wish for me to tell her?"

"They are being transported to you as we speak, so you not have to wait long. As for a message for her.....tell her to come to [Insert Location Name Here] after her chat with you is concluded, and meet with a Team Rocket representative to fill her in on her duties and responsibilities as a 'liason' of our organization. The sooner she's brought under our chain of command, the better for all of us I must say."

Archer then clasped his hands together, and inclines his head towards you respectively.

"I bid you a good day, Mr. Arendse, and your continued good fortune in accomplishing  the Boss' missions. I look forward to welcoming you as a full fledged Executive upon your arrival....."

The call is then cut off, and the holographic project powers down, leaving you to your own thoughts until the Rocket Nurse enters into the room carrying a plain looking wooden box, places it in front of you, before bowing to you and leaving. Inspecting its content via opening the lid reveal two big Balm Mushrooms in the full, lush, and potent glory. Won't Erika be delighted to see this.....

Well, that was a more comfortable than usual chat with Archer...

...

Two mushrooms for the mushroom enthusiast.  Perfect.  Now to go and meet with her...after Reiner gets his pokemon looked after properly so he's able to better defend himself in case anything else goes wrong today...Erika could wait for just a tad longer while he took care of getting Kingdra, Arbok, Weavile, and Rhyxemplar in fighting shape again...

...he really hoped Weavile would wake up sooner rather than later...

Once that's done, don the 'me' disguise, head to the tea shop, drop it just before meeting Erika, and arrange another chat withh her!  Whew, that's a mouthful...

(...) She went quiet after recounting her own Artist Origin Story ®, a happy yet.....melancholy smile as she cast her thoughts all those years back. It (the smile) looked rather worn and bittersweet for such a little miss like her to have, but it was hers. Her expression changed to one of faint curiosity as you explained the deviations between Kyubi and Alolan Ninetales, before she nodded her head at your request and went over to retrieve that sketchbook of yours. Emily then casually (yet carefully) released her Porygon on the bed, who briefly startled at the unfamiliar surrounding it was summoned in until its master calmed them down. They got a good look at you and the lucky dragon (who was doing her own discrete analysis of the digiduck, just in case), and tilted their head and made a warbling sound. Looks like they didn't know quite what to make of you or your dragon yet, so the first impression is still yours to make!

Mina's expression only lighted up even more and her spirits got lifted a bit higher upon seeing how smol Emily was so eager to agree to her on the matter of chasing one's dreams. "That's tha right attitude!~ Reality is hard and dry enough, it's our job as artists to bring a lil' light into it an' make people dream faaar away, even if only for short!" ....before it grew more serious and her voice neatly reflected this. "Hehe, ehm... Well, that's just what I think tho, some artists follow a complete different path. Meh, but to each thar own, I guess."

She also calmy and silenty curiously listened up as when Emily herself started to talk on her own and shared the story of her yet young career, having a pondering axpression and body language the whole time. When...Emily went over to retrive mentioned sketchbook and therefor was not paying attention to Mina primarily, Mina placed her hand on the top of her head and started to impercibly shiver, and a wave of upcoming panic washed over her in complete silence...

Emily owns a Smeargle.
Guess who else is known to own and battle with a Smeargle?
Right, the only Trial Captain of Melemele Island.
How the hell is she supposed to step in front of him again with all that white hair and faint hail surrounding her??!! Aaaaaaaarrrrgghhhhhhh! D:

'....Ew, better worry about later, I bet he won't just quit friendship? with you, Master', her purple LuckyDragon seemed to say as she raised her head and licked over Mina's cheek before giving her a 'Stay Positive' look in a tilted head - which caused Mina to force herself to calm down and put these worries aside for now. After all, there is no need to cause Emily to worry unnecessarily!

So when she handed the sketchbook over and released her Porygon ont the bed, Mina took efforts to not let anything of that show, and instead gave Emily a small smile. "Hehe... Smeargle is a good Pokemon, and a popular Pokemon among enthusiasts... Eh, nope, I don't own one by myself though. Now then, you asked how I make art, didn't you..." Once she has spoken that out, Mina began to guide a pencil over a free page of the sketchbook in sometimes fast and sometimes very slow movements, occassionally throwing glances over to Porygon before continuing, looking somewhat half-concentrated and half dreamy during it. If Emily wanted to see what she does there, Mina would let her but she wouldn't answer to any questions. Several minutes later she held the sketchbook a little more far from her by stretching out her arms, before nodding faintly, the ripping the page out and handing it to Emily, subliminally hoping to ease that bittersweetness and melancholy that was over the smol artist. Yes, Mina has noticed this.

The page showed...

(Not mine, credit goes to the original person who drew this)

"Here. Take a look at this... Well, eh, to make art, I just draw. I just bring to paper what I see. Observe things and your surroundings well, and yer eventually become better... Keep an eye open to aaaall the details when yar walking around."..."Oh, and you can keep this sketch if you like." ^_^

Once Emily reacted to this short display of making art, "Now then, I answered your questions and stuff, dear Emily... Now I guess it's my turn to ask somethiiiiing!~ Do tell me, why d'ya taking this letter around for a walk?" *carefully pointing to that latter that still in Emily's hand - or wherever it currently was*

(Well, I dont want to cause another bust in rob her. This time, a little more friendly aproach this time)

After buying a few items in the store for the next mission, Arial decided to head towards the Pokemon Center. Before he did that, he could see a woman with a strong looking Feraligator. He was very much tempt to fight that woman and stealing that pokemon. But after the Life/Death battle, he think better. "Ah screw that. I already have a terrible pokemon battle today. Lets try a friendly aproach this time." Arial look to his brother who was in his shoulder and Gligar who was beside him. "No commotion this time okay? Lets make a friendly aproach." Arial then a aproach a little from the Ace Trainer and begin to talk. "Man, what heavy rainfall. This is really gonna ruin my hat after this. But I must admit. Celadon City indeed have beauty even in this bad weather." Then he apologizes. "Sorry if scare you two. It wasn't my intention."

Gasper gave you a cheerful and affirmative *Meow!* at your request, while Durandel thought it over for a brief moment and then bobbed their head in agreement. With its earlier thoughtless attacks nearly getting everyone killed, the scorpiobat was certainly going to be putting more effort into looking before he leaped, so to speak!

As you approached the woman, you finally could get a clear enough look without the misting rain obscuring your sight. She was slightly tan , stood around 160 cm tall and had a more curvaceous, stocky body figure than you would typically find in most women these days. The Ace Trainer wore her hair in a bun tied with a purple ribbon, had a stylish pair of glasses on, and wore a pair of X and O Black ear rings. Further more, she wore a matching set of purple denium shorts, shoes (with black stockings that large holes in them serving has socks), and a denium jacket, with a fluff collar adorning the latter item, and a thick white t-shirt underneath. Overall, the trainer made for a striking, confidant, spunky and ever so slightly femme fatale, given the way she carried herself as she merrily strolled through the rain with her Feraligator

Speaking of the crocodile, he immediately focused on to you approached and started conversing with his the master, but rather than scowling at you in distrust/to scare you, he cocked his head at you in a gauging motion, before smiling/nodding his head and giving a thumbs up! The sudden rainstorm might be a total bummer to most folks, but he's glad that someone can appreciate the finer aspects of beauty that Heavy Rain can lend to things, *Rwaaar!*

The woman looked briefly taken off guard by the seeming non-sequenter remark, but quickly recover and lets out a bark of laughter, and shakes her head with a smile. "Yeah, the rain is soaking me to the bone, and its going to be a total pain to dry everything off if I don't want to end up sleeping in a puddle, but its worth it if Cooler *She gestures to her Feraligator* gets to enjoy his favorite Weather! Isn't that right?"

The Ace trainer received an enthusiastic nod from her partner, which only caused her grin to become more bold and energetic.

"Damn straight it is! 'Sides, it hard for the weather to put a damper on me, 'cause just a few hours ago I multched the Prim Princess herself (Erika) and claimed her Gym Badge! One step closer to heading to the Indigo plateu, yeah!!!"

She pumps her arm as she says this, an action mirrored by Cooler, before she abruptly stuck out her hand towards you!

"Name's Chanel, but you can just call me Nelly! What brings ya to the Flower Festival, and loitering on these rain slicked streets like me?"

"Oh, so you going to challenge the Indico Plateu? I heard there quite tough trainers there from what I could heard. Perhaps I should might try myself one day." Arial smiled a bit then he heard the name of the Trainer and Feraligator. "Its a pleasure to meet you two Nelly and Cooler. My name is Arial. Arial Schrodinger. But you can call me Arial. And thats my parthneer, Gaspar." He points to the Duplicat in his shoulder who wave a hand in the direction of the duo. "We just taking a few vacations around this City. I heard a few stories about this place, and decided to make a few adventures from my home in Tandor to here. And I must say, this City kind remind me my home region. I was walking in this City then this heavy storm begin. The weather is kind crazy this days..."

"But anyway, how about a quick pokemon battle? I would like to bring my pokemons to a battle."

Well, that was a more comfortable than usual chat with Archer...

...

Two mushrooms for the mushroom enthusiast.  Perfect.  Now to go and meet with her...after Reiner gets his pokemon looked after properly so he's able to better defend himself in case anything else goes wrong today...Erika could wait for just a tad longer while he took care of getting Kingdra, Arbok, Weavile, and Rhyxemplar in fighting shape again...

...he really hoped Weavile would wake up sooner rather than later...

Once that's done, don the 'me' disguise, head to the tea shop, drop it just before meeting Erika, and arrange another chat withh her!  Whew, that's a mouthful...

Once you were finished with inspecting the Balm Mushrooms, you exited the Teleconferance Room and took your partners in crime to the Rocket Nurse for her more traditional function of discrete and quick healing. Afterwards, in order to fully verify that your formerly Berserk sister didn't somehow inflict lasting harm to them, you went to Center's Training Room to release each and every Pokemon in order to fully inspect them.

Arbok and Kingra were perfectly fine after their ordeal, if a bit surely that they ended up being creamed before they really had a chance to shine, while Rhyxemplar had a vivid sense of sastifaction and pride despite his eventual lose. After all, he DID manage to 'slay' some unruly Dragons, and took out more of Clair's war party than anyone else. Yang was perfectly composed and calm, per usual, though he did have aura of content around him that you didn't see prior to this battle. Mew was still mostly unresponsive, though expecting the healing machine to fix psycologic problems is asking for a bit much!

Weavile, though........you would expect him to have either brushed off his cataclysmic Z-Clash with Garchomp with his usual casualness, or been smirking at the thought that it handily took down the hammerhead with him. Instead, however, he seemed.......confused and frustrated over something, as he paced around looking at his Darkium Z every so often, before scowling and ignoring it for awhile. How.......odd.

Regardless of how you handle/address you Pokémon's performance/condition post battle, you eventually made your way to the Tea Shop, and found Erika sitting at her usual spot. The usual calm dignity she possessed, however, was not present, and instead she seemed a little......flustered and grumpy, if those puffed up cheeks and her sullenly staring into her cup of tea is any indication.

Well, good to see two of them came out of it rather satisfied with the outcome for the most part, at least...Kingdra and Arbok get some extra snacks as a pick me up.  They did their best, after all.

Weavile, though...hmmm...

Reiner recalls all of the other pokemon before speaking with him.  Bah, if only Mew could act as a translator right about now...well, he'd have to make do...

"Something the matter, Weavile?"

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

Skipping forward a little bit...

Erika?  Grumpy?  Well, that's a rare sight.

"Well, you look like you need some cheering up.  Think I've got just the thing for that, too.  Besides, I'm sure you have some questions for me as well, after...earlier."

@PhantomUnderYourDesk

Emily into even more giggles as you rally on the cause of true artistry, until they pumped their arms and shouted loud and clear: "YEAH! Art comes from the heart, and we just have to share it with everyone so they can experience it for themselves!!!" Your tonal change and almost off handed remark afterwards suddenly curtailed her jubulations, the little miss stopping to cock her head at you with a curious look, like a confused Growlithe that lost its bone and thinks you know where its at. "What other 'paths' are their in art, Ms. Mina, and why do you sound so....grumpy about it?" Normally she wouldn't have pry or be so forward with her questioning, but your own eager acceptance and generally easy going mood helped coax her to be so loose liped!

After she fetched your sketchbook (and having your slight mental breakdown during that moment), she gave you a funny look at the mention that you didn't own a the Sketching species, but that was quickly dispelled when you began transferring Porygon from the third dimension to the second. The smol artist scooted closely to you in order to drink in all the details of you style, from the way you drew your lines, the speed at which you did so, what references you used and in what ways etc.. , growing more and more amazed as her digiduck was copied in stunning clarity before her very eyes! Porygon was perfectly still and calm for their part of the process, but could help wonder what was so interesting about it for [(SCANNING.......ERROR, SPECIES READS HUMAN-NINETALES HYBRID. IMPOSSIBLE COMBINATION. REBOOT?)] .....her to suddenly want to draw it.

When you finished and offer both your answer to her question earlier and the absolutely mind blowing high quality sketches of Porygon (In world, everything Mina draws looks GREAT, even if she tries to fuck up on purpose!), Emily eagerly snatched up both, bobbing her head up and down like a drinking Doduo as she clutch the drawing with doppy, cheerful grin only an kid could pull off well. "Thank you Ms. Mina! I'll be real sure to follow your advice and pay even MORE attention to what I'm drawing, uh huh! Um, and could maybe pretty please autograph this for me? "

The moment you shine the metaphoric spotlight on the Letter the little miss is carrying, it was like you flipped a switched.

Immediately her cheerful mood dried up like a puddle of water on a hot Sunny Day, her expression becoming grave, serious, and angry , and though you couldn't them due to her sunglasses, you imagined she was staring right at you. Her hands were now clenched into fist, with the Letter almost being crumpled up into an unreadable mess, but she restrained herself enough that it wouldn't happen. Slowly, so slowly , she brought it up to you , and placed it into your lap.

".......Its a letter from Archie, for you Ms Mina. You were supposed to get this earlier, but because of what happened last night you....didn't. Here. Take it."

After saying this, she gets up and off the bed, returning Porygon to their Pokeball while they doing so, and headed for the door.

"......I'll let you read it by yourself, ok? Don't want to bother you.......or find what that motherfucking cunt wrote. See you later....."

Then, she opened the door and exited the room, quickly speeding down the hall and out of earshot before you could even react to the profanity she uttered. All of the sudden, that Letter seems a whole lot more significant than before......

When you open it up, this is what it has to say:

To Mina, My Artist Extraordinare

Hello, Mina. I hope you've been well and happy since you took your monthly haitus from your Art Studio to explore the region(s) for insipiration, and I apologize for summoning you back on such short notice while you were in the midst of it, but the reason I've done so will be gravely apparent soon. 'Gravely'. How appropriate of a word to describe my follies all so succiently.

I'll be blunt and straightforward with you, Mina: I will be dead when you read this. Regretably, my wife is certainly fulfilling the 'till death do us part' part of our marriage vows as I write this to you, if you would forgive the horrible joke. Its taking all my Willpower not to breakdown and puncture my corata artery with this pen I'm using to end my miserable and worthless life to join Kyubi in the here after, and a little humor goes a long way to staving off that oh so welcoming desire......

As it stands, you are probably in a dazed state of shock and disbelief as your mind tries to reconstruct what happened as you keep reading, if I know you as well as I do, so let me clarify things for you. I'll first preface my explaination by saying this, though: its all my fault. There, now its on the record, for whatever my word is worth at this point.

To be concise and now keep you in suspense, I'll tell you right away why I am not long for this world. I murdered a little girl out of anger and a desire for revenge over her friend robbing me due to taking all her Poke after she lost a battle to me- a whole chain of bad decisions I kicked off, basically. Said friend took reasonably offense to that, and put a hit out for my head and capture by a certain individual who demands they remain anonomyous, or else will 'castrate you and feed ya your own balls.' Their words, not mine, obviously.

Said person also requested that I send word to you about meeting up with him to meet up with you about acquiring your services himself for the artist, whom I've been told is somehow alive despite me shootting her in the skull with my Desert Eagle and watching her go limp, and explain things to you such that it smooths over any possible tensions between you and them due to his plans to enact revenge upon me. You'll have to discuss the details of that exchange with them yourself, since I will have no say in that matter besides deathly silence.



Forgive me if I'm too blunt or graphic with my words. Its as I said earlier, I'm on the verge of breakdown and suicide, so any tact and decorum have for all intents and purposes has left me like my will to live. It seems I've gained an ample amount of gallows humor to cope with such lose, though its poultry recompensation I assure you.

Now where was I? Oh yes, finishing up my recap for you, among other things. In essence, I was the architect of my own death, killing an aspiring child artist and receiving swift karmic retribution. I've commited a horrible crime and sin, and I will paying for it with my life in relatively short time. Which would be a relief at this point, as that means Kyubi will not have to wait any longer for me.

In any case, my death and 'obligation' will leave you both without a sutainable job and at the mercies of a individual who's ruthless and resourceful enough to bring me to justice. A hard, tough spot, if you will. Because of this, I will leave instruction for you to acquire ownship the entirety of my private bank account separate from my main ones to you, and give you full ownship over the Art Studio and all the works you've produced under me to do with as you wish. This should give you enough wealth and influence to survive without my patronage, and is fitting compensation for burdening you with my failures and leaving you in the tender mercies of my enemies.

Additionally, using some of my funds and my collection of rare firearms, I have arranged for several things outside my soon to be executioner's knowledge with the assassin he sent to capture. I can't tell you of them, since there is the distinct but understandable possibility you'll relinquish this Letter to them in one fashion or another, but with that creative mind of yours I'm sure you'll come about the truth among the myriad idea you'll conjure up. If you (Not Mina) are reading this, then all I have to say for myself is that you sir are a nosy individual, and that even though I now realize my crimes and sins, it does not absolve your own. Burn in Hell.

One thing I can and must tell you, however, is an opportunity for you to escape this great big mess I've made. I've arranged for you discrete and untrackable transport out of Kanto, and back to your home land of Alola. All you have to do is go to this Hotel [Insert Name Here], ask the manager for 'Picasso's Ear' , and within the hour you'll be safely and quietly escorted far, far away from Celadon. You don't deserve to suffer the consequences of my action anymore than you will be, so if you do not wish to be a part of this any longer, escape the city when you can. Trust no one but yourself until you feet touch upon Alolan soil, and whatever you do avoid Team Rocket at all costs.

I believe that is everything. I've explained my situation, informed you of the individuals deal, set you up with a trust fund, and warned you sufficiently about the dangers of this situation while leaving you an out. Yes, that's everything.

With that, I must now say good bye to you Mina. Despite how capracious I was and how 'unprofessionally' I acted from time to time, you were and still are one of my most cherished friends in this world. You so easily accepted my love of Kyubi, and even fully endorsed it by creating masterful renditions of our relationship and attending our wedding. I'll even admit you help give me a finer appreciate for the little details in our lives we seem to forget, and teaching me how to let go sometimes and go with the flow.

Now, its time for me to let go for the last time.

Do not mourn for me, for I do not deserve such sympathy at this point, but I beg of you try to remember me fondly. I've done horrible things, but I never involved my friend or loved ones in those affairs of mine.

Well, until now, that is.

For the last time now

I will bid you fare the well

And wish you the best.

Paint your heart upon the world,

Archie Sterling

"Yeah, the Elite Four are absolutely brutally strong from what I heard of them, but hey, Imma still going to try clean ALL their clocks and become the Tohjo reigning Champeon baby!"

...

"Tandor? Never heard of the place, but that explains why you look so different from the average bloke around here. Pretty far from home, huh? Well, hope you've been enjoy the Festival, despite mother nature and seemingly everything trying to crush the fun loving spirit out of it, sheesh. I've heard that with good comes the bad, but its seems like you can't go a day without some disaster cropping up! Its the wrong type of exciting, I tell you what!"

At your proposal of a Pokémon battle, Nelly's affable grin become a lot more devious and predatory, and Cooler lets out a low rumbling chuckle that you feel more than hear.

"Oh, fancy a skirmish don't ya, even after hearing I took down little miss Erika. He, I like your guts! I'm always game for a good Pokémon battle, so I accept your challenge! Before we start, though, let's decides upon the rules and stuff, so that the battle isn't just some unorganized free for all. First, I say healing Items are allow, but we can't use more than one per Pokémon, and no Reviving will be allowed. Second, no Extra Lethal moves or 'unconventional' strategies, just good old fashion regular battling! Third, only 4 Unique moves can be selected for each Pokémon, though you don't have to decide which ones you want to use until during the match!"

"Finally, we have to decide what format we'll be using. I usually ok with 3v3 or 6v6 Singles, but I can also game for 2v2 or 4v4 Double battles if your more interesting in a brisk fight, or just want to work that brain of yers strategizing the best way to tag team my Pokémon while preventing me from doing the same to you!"

"You understand and fine with all that, Mr. Cat Guy Arial? If you do, just choose a format and we can get start right now! If not, then I guess we'll stick to gabbing in the rain then, or bugger off to do own things!"

Third, only 4 Unique moves can be selected for each Pokémon, though you don't have to decide which ones you want to use until during the match!"

"Finally, we have to decide what format we'll be using. I usually ok with 3v3 or 6v6 Singles, but I can also game for 2v2 or 4v4 Double battles if your more interesting in a brisk fight, or just want to work that brain of yers strategizing the best way to tag team my Pokémon while preventing me from doing the same to you!"

"You understand and fine with all that, Mr. Cat Guy Arial? If you do, just choose a format and we can get start right now! If not, then I guess we'll stick to gabbing in the rain then, or bugger off to do own things!"

"Such energy. But be aware from one thing. There is others trainers you might find there besides the Elite Four. And some trainers can be strong, or even more strong than the Elite Four. The Champion system in Tandor is more less a bit different."

...

"Yeah. Tandor is a far, far region. Different from other regions, Tandor use nuclear energy along with other materials. And the Champion system its a bit different and is decided by a Pokemon League. Heck, even Gym Leaders participated in the League! And the final battle usual happens inside Mt. Actan, a dorment Vulcan who also say there is a Legendary Pokemon from the Region: One of the Brothers of Metal, Actan. He is called too as the Son of Darkness. He is one of the three Brothers of the Metal together with Heatran and Lathan. Legend says:"

When the world was born, newly sculpted by Arceus' Thousand Arms, there was no metal. Then Groudon, Lord of the Earth and Day, cleaved the earth with a mighty claw, but the metal beneath was flimsy bronze. He dug down deep into the lava at the core, and there he lay three eggs


The first to hatch was the brother of fire, Heatran. He created the many common ores: iron, gold, silver and titanium. From the lava floes on Stark Mountain came all these rich and valuable metals for humans to use.

The second to hatch was Lanthan. A Pokémon of Earth, Lanthan took the rare and elusive ores without any names, and fixed them deep underground. It created the Lanthanite Mountain of East Tandor and went to sleep inside.

The last to hatch was Actan. A Pokémon of Shadow, Actan took the scarcest and most powerful ores that burn and hum with dangerous energy, and emerged from Actanite Mountain to teach the humans of their use. Thus do we have power not stolen from Pokémon or fueled by fire but drawn from the limitless source of metal itself.

And Actan saw that the humans had learned, and returned to its slumber.

Ah! Actan and Lanthan! Twin brothers, the Rare Metal Pokémon. Each are supposedly a thousand years old. Legend has it they crawled out of the earth's crust and taught Man the use of metals. Supposedly another of their kind lives in Sinnoh and is known as Heatran.


Nowadays they are said to dwell within the volcanoes of Tandor. That's how Mt. Actanite got its name.

"Thats what they say." Arial feel a little after see the face of the ace woman. "Heh, sorry about that. I tend to carried away a bit when telling this story. This is my favourite tale in my homeland. If you ever have a chance, you should visit Tandor. You might find pokemon you never see in any region."

...

"I okay with the format of 5x5 single pokemon battle. I kinda have six pokemon in my team, but two of them is very much disobedient to me and one of them have a Lethal Move (I looking at you Asura). And he kinda have tendencies too...get Infuriate in battle so I prefer to avoid use that one. I okay with the system about the items thing."

...

Arial find kinda amusing someone call him Mr. Cat Guy! "Heh, good nickname, perhaps I should nickname you Mrs Aligator Girl. Anyway, I okay with that but I have one last question: About Mega Evolution. I would not normally say that, but I Mega Ring user, and one of my pokemon can Mega Evolve. It is permited about that? And how we decide who choose the one to begin?"
