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

[Lord Windos]

Spoiler

...

Honestly, one of my first thoughts when entering the room was 'maybe these unfortunate souls could be brought back?  Kyubi was in a similar state, after all...'

Initially, I was fairly certain it wouldn't be worth the trouble.

But Alexandra made a compelling case, however unintentionally.

And her knowledge of the facility will, in all likelihood, turn out to be invaluable.

"...let's bring her back.  Using Tauros.  The rest of those pokemon are a little too useful right now to sacrifice...or far too risky to experiment with.  It'll slowly chew through our supply of Iodine Tablets to keep her from getting irradiated, but I think it'll pay off."

Plus, this is likely the only chance they have to do this if they don't want to tip off Lindworm about Mew quite yet...

Reiner gets Tauros's Safari Ball ready, makes sure to retrieve the Life Orb the bull was holding...

"Oh, right.  I believe I still need to introduce you to her properly.  Frosslad, meet Mew."  Not much needs to be said about this aside from that, I think.

Presumably, Mew's out and about soon after, preparing to hold down Tauros for the purpose of the Revival Ritual.  "Think you can do this quickly enough to avoid accumulating Rads, Mew, or should I try to make room for Metagross so you can briefly use Reflect Type?"

Several seconds passed as the semi-sociopathic Mythic mulled over your choice, before pinging you back with a.....'positive' response

'Hm....very well. I would have personally chosen Giegeroach, but I see why you would refrain from expending them as such for the time being. Besides, the Tauros served little to no purpose to you prior to this point, so using it for the Revival Ritual would permanently rectify that issue.'

Cold as the room you're in, she is.

'As for me gaining any Rads in the Revival Ritual, that shouldn't be a concern, as it shouldn't take long enough for me to absorb any background radiation. However, I would prefer utilizing Reflect Type if I am to remain outside after the Ritual, for obvious reasons. *Mental shrug* I have no pressing reason or desire to do so presently, though, beyond doing my best to keep you from sharing the fate of these Researchers, so I'll leave that decision to you.'

If you are going to use Reflect type, Frosslad will have to be recalled for Metagross, and then it will have to be recalled to make room for Tauros. Otherwise, Frosslad will have to be recalled.

Presumably, however, you decided to introduce the two first before you get started with any Revival Ritual preparations, to which Mew....

Mew's Loyalty: (4)(6)(2)(2)
Mew's Disobedience: (4)(1)(1)(5)(1)

…accedes to do, albeit it grudgingly and with no small amount of irritation.

'....Since Frosslad is well bonded and proved itself Loyal to you despite being a recent acquisition, I suppose its acceptable to reveal myself to them now. On the borderline of acceptable, and in addition you are disrespectfully ignoring my preference to remain incognito yet again to relative strangers- and in recently with Giegeroach, might I add - without first asking for my permission to do so, but still so. I would suggest you don't make a habit of asking for forgiveness first, then permission later, as I will be....displeased if that continues to be the case. Fair warning, Reiner.'

Yeap, she's not happy about this. At least she's going along with your decisions for once, though, so yay?

The gelid Ghost was of course surprised by the Progenitor of All Pokémon being summoned/summoning herself, as they shrinked away and covered their mouth, clearly taken aback by her appearance. His new master not only OWNS this all powerful being, but is in engage in what appears to be mutually beneficial relationship?! Oh my Regice! 


He manages to quickly recover from his shock, however, and promptly bows to her with great reverence AND respect. Noblesque Ghost type experiencing a mild power trip he is, even he knows to be deferential to such an august and Mythical being. Quite unlike his Draconic counterpart Yang, who only, at best, sees her as his equal. For her part, Mew just closes her eyes and lets out a low *Sigh...*, before nodding back to them and motioning they can be at ease (Which they do so, albeit slowly). She then turns to and pings you, looking quite deadpan as she motions to Alexandria.

'There. Now, are you ready to begin the Revival Ritual, or do you have anything else you need to do that will delay this young woman being give a second chance at life. Best get that stuff out of the way now, then being having to handle other matters and a no doubt extremely confused and disoriented woman simultaneously after the Ritual. That would be uncomfortable to you, and annoying for me.'

...You are not quite sure if her matter of fact sassiness is a good thing or not, but hey, its at least some emotional response.

Kinda the same lines I was thinking along.

"...surprised you didn't sense her earlier, to be honest.  In any case, you were bound to find something funny was going on really soon whether you sensed her or not, so with the introductions out of the way...let's get down to the business of reviving Alexandra Wilkens from the dead.  Frosslad, gonna need to recall you for a moment to make some room.  Besides, I doubt Alexandra would find it very pleasant if she woke up and it was even colder in this room than before.  Good thing your current buffs are innate rather than temporary..."

Nothing else of note to say or do before the ritual, so...here we go again...

"Hope you're ready to pin Tauros down, Mew.  Don't need him causing a ruckus and drawing unwanted attention, after all.  The sooner we get this over with, the better."

Frosslad just shrugged at your inquiry, as he couldn't help noticing/detecting the Mythical Being until now, despite his Ghostly senses. There were other pressing issues he had to focus on at the time, and given that Mew is very much well practiced in the art of stealth, could you blame him for being so surprised?

He did appear to be rather surprised and then deeply curious/interested at the mention of 'reviving' Alexandra, as dead coming back to life was typically reserved for Ghosts and/or Legendary/Mythical Beings, but he concedes to being recalled for the time being for The Revival Ritual. He'll find out what's that all about sooner or later, so he doesn't mind too much on missing on directly witnessing what's going down...

Speaking of Alexandria, I will now give a brief description of her appearance, since she's about to become relevant to the plot:

She's a rather short, slim, petite woman, approximately 5'3'' to 5'5'' feet high, and flat as a board, though it was hard to tell given the way she was 'sitting' in the chair. She was wearing a lab coat with long sleeves and that covered her legs all the way to the ankles, though you could see she was wearing cozy looking slacks underneath. On her feet was some penny loafers and thick black stockings, and she was wearing what appeared to be make shift gloves/mittens out of....spare clothing. She had platinum gray-blue hair like Steven (a rarity, like Blunettes and Redheads) that was done up in a braided bun, a light smattering of freckles over her checks, and a tiny mole just left and under her mouth, but above her chin. Her eye color is unknown, as they are closed, and I doubt Reiner would be too interested in 'disturbing' her to find out. Her...expression appeared mousy, and her complexation a pasty whitish, though you don't know if that is natural or the work of decomposition.

Overall, she appeared to be the stereotypical woman Lab Researcher, albeit on the small size and having an odd hair color.

Your near emotionless partner gave you a nod of her head, signaling that she was ready as her eyes started to glow that familiar, hauntingly icy blue of Power. 

'Ready when you are, Reiner.'

With that 'said', you promptly released Tauros into the lab, hoping that Mew could successfully restrain it and not end up causing a parady scene of a bull in a china shop. Luckily, that wasn't even remotely a problem, for the ornery bovine could barely shake itself clearhead when she slammed them down to the ground with pure Psychic might, pinning them solidly in place as it started to Thrash around helplessly/angrily on the ground. Not having any of that, the semi-sociopathic Mythic proceeded to also bash its head against the floor several times until it stop its struggle and was rendered completely senseless, with her looking utterly bored and dispassionate while doing so. 


A....bit much, but its still effective in keeping the normally raging beast 'placid' through the Ritual.

Finally, with him fully restrained, MEW begin the Revival Ritual. Since its already been descrbied in enough detail the last  times it has happened, I'll omit describing the whole process, other than noting that she conducted it with MUCH more efficiency, and that the Tauros seemed to have been suffering even MORE than that past sacrfices of the Rituals. A side effect of her pseudo sociopathy, or is she just doing a 'better' job because she cares not for minimzing the BEYOND excruciating Pain Tauros was in? Who know, who know...

Once all the lifeforce was transferred into Alexandria and MEW did her job in making sure everything was fixed to working order, she (MEW) withdrew from them, her eyes dimming to their new regular dullness as she heaved a great big *Sigh* and hovered over to slump herself on your head/hat, huffing as she pinged you soon after, it being laced with tiredness.

'It is done. Now all we have to do is wait for the transformation effect of the Revival Ritual to kick in....'

As if on cue, soft white light erupted from the mousish woman, completely obscuring her for a minute and a half before it dispelled itself, revealing her new and improved form.

Similar to Mina, the changes to Alexandria were extensive. The first thing of note is that her skin had darkened considerably into a deep tan, and from little you could see it was hairier too (though no where near to the extent as Kyubi). Speaking of which, her hair  had changed color into a dark brown (though you could see flecks of silver blue amidst it), and became shaggier looking to boot. Her physique had also bulked out considerably, her biceps visibly budging against the sleeves of her lab coat, and you could presumably extrapolate that this particular change affected her entire body. She also appeared to be a few inches tall too, but again it was hard to tell. The final and perhaps most prominent new features of hers, though, where the small pair of miniature grey/silver pointed horns she was sported at the very top of/above her forehead, and two grey metal studs, a small sized one embedded right in the middle of her forehead, and one that replaced her mole.

Overall, she was....well, basically a minotaur now, though one that favored her humanity FAR more than the Tauros in her. More simply/bluntly, she's on the opposite end of the Anthromoprhic Spectrum from Kyubi, but not quite as far/within range of either Emily or Mina. 

'...*Sighs*….Won't this be a treat explaining what happened to her....and Lindworm. Perhaps I should have thought this through more first, before offering to Revive her, but what done is done....'

(Well put, Mew.)

Right now, she's (Alexandria) still unconscious, though judging by the light snoring sounds being heard from her, its from exhaustion/sleep rather than still being in a medicated/OD coma. Waking her up should be easy, but explaining everything will likely...not be.

Oh well, just the usual for you now, eh little drake?

Hehehehe….Interesting times you find yourself experiencing right now, while also in the middle of an already interesting quest. And quite the noble and macabre hobby you are cultivating too! If you keep reviving the dead like you have, though, Giratina might have to make you an Arbiter sooner rather than later to excuse your continued flagrant disregard of the laws of life and death! Not that will matter now, of course, or even in the near future, but.....hehehehehe.

[Shut up, Zuryk.  In the middle of something right now, if you didn't notice. I'm not in the mood for playing around with you right now.]

"And I believe explaining things is most certainly my job right now and in most of these situations.  And if she (is it Alexandria or Alexandra?) is going to believe what just happened, I'm going to most certainly need you to at least make a brief appearance."

Reiner cracks his knuckles.  "Welp, better get started."

A quick shoulder jostle oughta wake her up.  Reiner will then back up when she does...and wait to see how she reacts to a) someone else being in this frigid room and b) potentially realizing she's not dead.  Maybe.  She might just think she's seeing things at first, I suppose...

[In this case, even I have forced to agreed with Zuryk this time. Its kinda a morbid hobby indeed. But, a extra hand, its a extra hand. Just come here to say to be very very much careful Reiner. Just a bit warn. Bye!]

[Shut up, Zuryk.  In the middle of something right now, if you didn't notice.  I'm not in the mood for playing around with you right now.]

"And I believe explaining things is most certainly my job right now and in most of these situations.  And if she (is it Alexandria or Alexandra?) is going to believe what just happened, I'm going to most certainly need you to at least make a brief appearance."

[Ah ah ah, temper temper, Dragonstrike~! All I was doing was offering some friendly neighborhood commentary! No need to chomp my head off for it~ And who are you to say you and little puppet are ever not eternally amusing me, or off doing an task of mine like the nice, good little servants you are? Like you are right now? Oh, that right: not anymore, and not for a long time yet to come ! HeheheheheHA! ]

[Oh, and its Alexandria, to answer for dear Windos. He can be so scattered brain at times, when he's not busy be the meddlesome individual he is. And thank you, Spiritmon! You certainly are more respectful that your fellow puppeteer,  and perhaps a good bit wiser too, hehehehe….]

'....*Sighs* That is to be expected, in retrospect. Giving her a mirror and calmly explaining things should be sufficient without me making a personal appearance, given she is most likely a rational individual, but if required, I'll show myself to lend credence to what happened. For now, I will be in my Greatball recovering, so please don't bother me for a little awhile, unless necessary....'

And just like that, she vanishes, Teleporting back into her capture device for a little R&R, or until if she has to make a reveal. That was blessedly easy!

You didn't even have to go over to shake her awake, for when you cracked your knuckles, the sharp popping noise was enough to cause the now bullish womn to let out a large *Snort!*, before she suddenly stretched her arms and let out a loud yawn, then started to rub the sleep out of her eyes. Though their was no telling what their former color (if any) were, they were now dark brown, as they blearly stared in front of her, her once blissfully happy expression now set in a sullen frown.

"Mmmrrrrr…five more minutes, before I have to.....hrrn. Don't....think about it, Alex. Just....ignore them. *Huffs* ...What was that noise, anyway? Sounded like the specimens were pecking at the door again. *Shakes head, and opens her eyes a bit more* ...No, that's not right. They usually grow or make more of a racket than that. It sound like.....popping? *Sighs* ...Did I leave the hot water bath again? Uh...likely so. That will be sodding hot mess to-"

Her words are abruptly arrested when she pans her head in your direction (where presumably the baths lay somewhere) staring at you with wide, stunned eyes.

You both then jumped when you suddenly heard someone knocking on the door, which was followed by the muted but unmistakable voice of Lindworm.

"Reiner? Are you alright? I've just finished.....my search, but I've been hearing....something going on in that lab until a few minutes ago. I assume you've been busy taking care of another one of those....beasts, yes?"

".....Help? It has....come? "

Thought faint, you could clearly hear Alexandria speak up after your fellow exile finished, causing you to look away from the door and at her once more, finding her cupping her mouth and staring at the door in what could only be described as a mixture of stunned disbelief and raw, naked fearful hope. She then turned to stare at you again, not uttering a single word.

"....Reiner? Reiner? Answer me.....please."

...Well, this has gone....differently than you expected it to. Only thing you can do now is push onwards.

[Shut up, Zuryk.  In the middle of something right now, if you didn't notice.  I'm not in the mood for playing around with you right now.]

"And I believe explaining things is most certainly my job right now and in most of these situations.  And if she (is it Alexandria or Alexandra?) is going to believe what just happened, I'm going to most certainly need you to at least make a brief appearance."

Reiner cracks his knuckles.  "Welp, better get started."

A quick shoulder jostle oughta wake her up.  Reiner will then back up when she does...and wait to see how she reacts to a) someone else being in this frigid room and b) potentially realizing she's not dead.  Maybe.  She might just think she's seeing things at first, I suppose...

[Ah ah ah, temper temper, Dragonstrike~! All I was doing was offering some friendly neighborhood commentary! No need to chomp my head off for it~ And who are you to say you and little puppet are ever not eternally amusing me, or off doing an task of mine like the nice, good little servants you are? Like you are right now? Oh, that right: not anymore, and not for a long time yet to come ! HeheheheheHA! ]

[Oh, and its Alexandria, to answer for dear Windos. He can be so scattered brain at times, when he's not busy be the meddlesome individual he is. And thank you, Spiritmon! You certainly are more respectful that your fellow puppeteer,  and perhaps a good bit wiser too, hehehehe….]

'....*Sighs* That is to be expected, in retrospect. Giving her a mirror and calmly explaining things should be sufficient without me making a personal appearance, given she is most likely a rational individual, but if required, I'll show myself to lend credence to what happened. For now, I will be in my Greatball recovering, so please don't bother me for a little awhile, unless necessary....'

And just like that, she vanishes, Teleporting back into her capture device for a little R&R, or until if she has to make a reveal. That was blessedly easy!

You didn't even have to go over to shake her awake, for when you cracked your knuckles, the sharp popping noise was enough to cause the now bullish womn to let out a large *Snort!*, before she suddenly stretched her arms and let out a loud yawn, then started to rub the sleep out of her eyes. Though their was no telling what their former color (if any) were, they were now dark brown, as they blearly stared in front of her, her once blissfully happy expression now set in a sullen frown.

"Mmmrrrrr…five more minutes, before I have to.....hrrn. Don't....think about it, Alex. Just....ignore them. *Huffs* ...What was that noise, anyway? Sounded like the specimens were pecking at the door again. *Shakes head, and opens her eyes a bit more* ...No, that's not right. They usually grow or make more of a racket than that. It sound like.....popping? *Sighs* ...Did I leave the hot water bath again? Uh...likely so. That will be sodding hot mess to-"

Reiner heads to the door and talks through it much like Lindworm just did.

"Everything's clear in here, Lindworm.  Found a survivor.  Give us a sec, though.  Go check on Arial in the meantime. Or keep watch."

He turns back to Alexandria, waiting to see how she initially reacts to the same realizations as stated previously...

[In that case...]

After leaving behind the N-Munchax, Arial finally meet again Lindworm. He arive at the same door where Reiner have go. He careful knock the door. "Oi, Reiner. Are you still alive, or get turned into Nuclear Goo? I still get paid? Find some cool items in the other Lab you and Lindworm might need." Say Arial with his crazy way to talk. "Take this Lindworm. You might need those." Arial then give Lindworm 2 Iodine tablets. Just in case he or his pokemon get rads.
