Arial could feel his girlfriend down feelings, and he already regret making such question. He grab her hand and say with all the care of the world. "I...I sorry. I shouldnt ask you something like that. Forgive me! I dont know what come to me to ask such thing!" Arial quick try to think something to fix the situation. "Tell you what, lets not think about that! How about we play a little game? You can ask me 3 questions, and if I do not answear your questions, I will be forced to grant you a wish for each question. What you think?"

(Wait just a bit my friends. Get the answear of Riza, but she need to be a more stable. No need to scare her fragile soul right now right?)

Your vamp of a girlfriend is a bit reserved at first, but she slowly leans into you again, gradually calming down as she took comfort in your presence and her thinking drifted away from her humanity.

{.....It Okay, Arial. Question......Not Bad. Sad.....But......Good Meaning. You Not Bad For Asking.....}

As for your question game, Riza doesn't have any for you, as she honestly isn't in an inquisitive mood right now. She'd much rather cuddle up by you side the rest of the night and her newfound love, and save any probing questions for later, less.......lovey times.

And that's what Arial have do. He stay at her side, and say a quiet "Thank you" and stay at her cuddling and exchanging a kiss or another. No more questions, just only to enjoy this moment of peace without any other distraction: No more Legendary Pokemon battle, Cursed Arms or Life and Death situations. Just good times for now on and his family and girlfriend.

Arial give his best to the most enjoyable possible, but was also very much respectfully towards her to not let things..."escalate" to much. He understand she is not ready, and maybe he not too. Buuuuut...he willing if Riza would someday want, he would with no problem. But with protection of course. He don't want give her a undesired pregnant no?

Arial finally decided to spoke after such long minutes. "Hmm, mind if I ask you something Riz? Why you like me so much? I mean, man I crazy for you, but I sometimes can't understand why you look at me like I was some kind of Super Hero or amazing person. No that I mind but...well to starters I crazy, have mental problems, a masoquist, and member of a crime organization. Not to mention a hater of humanity in general. I not exactly what I would call a "good" boyfriend material."

"Hah Haha....same deal with my girl too. She was......crushed when she realized you all were going to be MIA indefinitely, and since then has always been grim and dim when dealing with others not named myself or her other partners. Maybe now, our little Dragons can finally lighten up a little, yeah?"

Bringing up the prospect of a real battle causes a literal sparks to come to Lucy's eye along with the rest of her body, with her arcing both her upper body and Electrical power upwards, followed by letting out an frenetically thrilled *CCCCRRRRRAAAAAWWW!* She too is eager to show off her all her hard earned Thunderous might she's obtained over the years to her fellow dragoness, so your announcement is like the High Quality Dragon Rations you gave her! Plus, given the almost tangible aura of Strength and toughness coming off not only Kingdra, but Reiner too, maybe in this match she can actually let lose her full and unadulterated POWER without summarily electrocuting her opponents to oblivion!

Taylor has a much less enthusiastic reaction to full on Fighting you at, turning towards you with both eyebrows raised and a thoroughly thoughtful frown. No matter how censored or light on detail Kyubi was with recounting her older partner's exploits this week, the fire fox DID inform her of them, and they all painted Reiner as not the somewhat novice but upcoming Dragon Tamer she grew up with, but a complete BOSS of a Dragon Master that was so badass he ate up adversity, shitted out success, and scared literal blood sucking boogywoman. Heck, they took on what sound like a rioded up Elderitch Bug from beyond and smashed its bloody face into the curb!! After hearing all that, she'd have to be out of her gord to seriously accept a actual Fight with him!!!

Which is why after giving it some more thought, the thief extraordinaire threw back her head and laughed up a veritable Thunderstorm, before gracing you with a familiar spine tingling savage grin and deviously gleaming eyes.

"You know what? If my girl is down with Fighting you lot of super duper trainers, then I'm game too! Fair warning, though, partner: I battle like I do my thieving. If you two are looking for a honorable, straightforward fight, you clearly have the sort of expectations that need adjusting, and I'm not doing that for ya! Knowing that, ya still wanna Fight me?"

One thing to add about Kingdra: starting at when she learns what happened to Lucy and until she fully Cottenees on that they laid an Egg, she become FURIOUS at the Elders. I'm not just talking furious, but FURIOUS. Full steam, high boil, and roiling RAGE of both a Dragon and a woman incited. The whole nine yards of wrath, squared. Yeah, she's THAT mad. Which, considering what happened to her best friend, is perfectly reasonable.

However, due to being so overwhelmingly happy because of her reunion with Lucy, just having a vigorous bout of play fighting, and wanting to be there for them, she is able to fully restrain her temper without major intervention, and have a more subdued reaction to the news without blowing. Make no mistake, though, she was still FURIOUS, and now had newly enliven and visceral desire to blast those old bastards to smithereens, but she was doing an excellent job of controlling her RAGE and marshaling most it away. Lucy nor Taylor pick up on this, but obviously Reiner does, and especially Weavile (Who preemptively slunk behind cover without drawing attention, then came back out just as discretely when he realized Kingdra was not going to OUTRAGE.)

Your old partner's reaction to the her tale recounting is the same sort of anger she showed back in the living room: great and terrible, but lurking just beneath the surface of outward grim calmness. Lucy, though.....she shuddered throughout the story, a haunted look that dimmed her eyes as she settled back down on the ground and withdrew into herself until the you stopped talking about it. The former's reaction was expected, but the later's.....wow. What the hell did those Elders do to her?

What drew the Stormbringer out of her.....funk (Thankfully) was you mentioning and then presenting her Egg to her, bringing it to her attention and out of those memories. The thunder dragoness eyed her offspring with.......uneasy love was the best you could describe it, then giving you a long measuring look that made you straighten up and sweat a little. A minute of Lucy staring you down....before she closed hers eyes, took in a deep breath, and nodded, rumbling out with indescribable emotion but her eyes showing certainty with her decision.

Giving up her firstborn was not an easy choice......but keeping and raising them was a harder for her. No matter how much maternal love she held for her welp, she just......just couldn't raise them with the fullness of care required. Not without the......reason of their existence stalking her very thoughts, and marring the bond between them. So, instead of subject her welp to in-adequate care, she is entrusting them to someone who she knows would do a good job raising her right without judgement and only compassion: you. 

Kingdra is able to perfectly understand her fellow dragoness' reasoning and be greatly sympathetic to their plight but still happy about the occasion, but I will any modification/addition to her reaction in your hands Dragonstrike, since you've been doing a good job of that so far. That, and it makes its all the more meaningful if you're the one writing it...

~~~
(Why Reiner, what a apt choice of thought! I like the way you are thinking! Hope you enjoy what's about to happen too!)
Yes, the Egg is hatching. As if it witnessed their mother relinquishing it into you care and immediately it had to meet its new daddy RIGHT NOW.
......? ...!
First, the * C R A C K * resound throughout the room, sounding exactly like a crack of lightning rather than a shell breaking apart, and a jagged fissure ran down laterally across its middle.
...! ...!!
A deep, burning orange light began seeping through the fissure, and the Egg started to violently shake, nearly jerking it and the incubator right out of your hands, forcing you to get a tighter grip on it! 
!!!
Sounds of crackling light once more echoing out as the smaller cracks began radiated from the central fissure, more and more of the burning orange light spilling out with great intensity. 
!!!
The air in the room, once calm and stagnate, rapidly whipped up into fast and vigorous wind currents that threatened to blow everyone off their feet, save for you, as it seemed you were right in the eye of the storm.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
* B R R A A A A A C K*

....And the next thing you know, the Egg explodes.

The sound, the light......it is deafening and blinding, yet strangely not painfully so. 
.....................?
Your senses are overload, and for what seemed like an eternity you are trapped within your own mind.
.......................Daddy?
A voice. You hear a voice.
...................Daddy! Daddy!
Instantly, you regain awareness of your surroundings. 

The entire Training Room.......it looked like a tornado torn through it. All the equipment was upended, trashed, and scattered about, all of it now laying disheveled across almost the entirety of the room, except the area directly around you. 

Everyone single living being was in a similar state of affairs, bowled over by the Egg's explosion, and all of them were Fainted. 

Except for you. You were still standing tall, appearing none worse off from the Egg's hatching besides some wind ruffled clothing.
Daddy!
Huh? Its....that voice! You almost forgot about it from from all the excitement!
Daddy, Daddy!
There it is again! And its call you.....daddy? Wha-
Daddy, Daddy, Daddy!
You feel something squirming in your hands, and your attention is immediately directed toward them......and the answer to everything.

Cradled in your grasp, was a Volchick.

Correction: A very odd looking female Volchick, looking at you with eagerness and total adoration only a child has for its parents, letting out a happy chirp now that you were looking at her.

One that was radiating a IMMENSE amount of Power, too boot. 

Gone was usual black and yellow colora scheme of the species. Its head and claws were painted a light, almost faded green, and its black body a darker, more vibrant green., with the only golden yellow remaining as an outline on the 'lips' of her beak. Her wing's arches were evergreen, and her feathers a bright gold-orange that appear to be glowing, if the faint light emanating from them is any indication. The only features that remained similar to her species' norm was the furred collar and storm cloud tail, but even those had their notable differences, with the collar and tail shimmering evergreen when light shone on her, and the tip of her tail was dully glowing the same gold-orange color as her wings. Last but not least, were her eyes and chest emblem. The eyes were almost entirely light red, save for the pupils, which were light yellow, while the emblem.....



Was unlike anything you've ever seen before.
Daddy!
That voice jolts you out of your analysis of your Volchick, causing you to instinctively look about the room for its source.....
.....Daddy? Daddy?
.....aaaand inevitably finding yourself looking back down at Volchick, who was wiggling in your grasp and looking at you with honest curiously.
...
...
...
...Your baby Volchick is talking to you. And thinks you are her daddy. And, based on all the evidence you've gathered thus far, was responsible for wrecking the Training Room and KOing everyone but you and her. By the mere fact of her hatching.

.........Well, say what you will, but the Elders did a bang up job of breeding Lucy's child.

Congratulation, your Egg hatched into a Legendary Volchick!

Reiner smiks when Lucy's energy rubs off on Taylor.  "Yup, definitely sure we want to try battling you guys.  I'm looking forward to seeing what you're capable of after all this time.  But again, we'll get to that in a second."

Not much more to say here for now.  Moving on to the sections that literally took me several hours to type up!

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

I think I've found a suitable variation of the Song of Storms that can cover both this part and the aftermath of the egg hatching!

After the Storm: Song of Storms II by Lily Pichu 

Oh yeah, Kingdra is definitely F U R I O U S.  That's pretty much a given.  There is one major difference about her anger this time, though: it's more focused, less indiscriminate.  And that's why she's able to control it.

For so long, her anger had been less directed, more wild.

Now, it finally has a specific target, a direction.

Reiner had made attempts to try and teach Kingdra how to control her anger in the past, direct it in more useful ways, but they all ultimately ended in failure.  As Kingdra did not truly understand why the Elders had taken Lucy, she unleashed her anger on the world, losing much of the nobility that she'd had originally in the process.  Any righteous fury more common of more noble Dragons had been overshadowed by the wild, near uncontrollable rage of the most dangerous Dragons instead...and despite Reiner's best efforts, any attempts to coax her back to her more noble origins over the last few years were futile.  It is why she razed half of Blackthorn in her anger four years ago, as she was unable to properly cope with the immense amounts of primal, draconic R A G E she now fully possessed...

After reuniting with Lucy, though, it's helped her regain some of it.  And after seeing Lucy decide once and for all that yes, the egg would be better off if left with Reiner, it's what finally makes it click for Kingdra.  Both that the Egg is a grim reminder of what happened, and that Lucy only wants what's best for her child, even if it means making sacrifices...

Lucy never really lost her own nobility.  Despite everything she's suffered, all the dignity she's lost, all the things she wishes she could keep...she's still the same Dragon she was before: A Dragon that knows she's strong, but also knows her own limits, knows when she should unleash her full might and when she should hold back. A Dragon who knows both when to take and when to give...

Areas that Kingdra had been lacking in over the last four years.  Were it not for Reiner's own judgement and careful handling of her over the last few years, the two of them would both be in much deeper water than they already are.

This realization helps Kingdra to control her own anger, redirect it.

Resolve to not lose herself to anger again.  For if she's going to help Reiner with raising Lucy's child in the mother's place, then the LAST thing she wants to do is harm or frighten the chick by doing exactly that.  And there's only ONE set of foes that truly deserve her ire for everything that happened...it was never Blackthorn's fault.  Never Katsuo's.  Never Clair's.  Never Taylor's, even though it was her choice.

Kingdra has learned Dragon Rush EX for 88 EXP.  There is no longer any danger of her learning Outrage spontaneously.  From this point on, her righteous fury shall Flinch foes into submission and Knockdown all who stand in her and Reiners' way.  She still retains her general personality, obviously, but she'll generally only get super angry if it's well and truly deserved now.

For that is the way of a Noble Dragon.  Mighty as they are, even the most powerful moves can't solve everything through sheer strength alone...

...and it's all thanks to Lucy that Kingdra is finally fully in control of herself, instead of the raging, primal Dragon within always threatening to wrest what control she had away from her...

And because Lucy was unable to stand up for herself, Kingdra will stand up for her.  And also for Lucy's child.

And Reiner.  Always for Reiner, for they're practically siblings.  Heck, you could even say Kingdra almost considers Lucy her sister, too.

And that's what family is for, right?

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

The silence resounds for who knows how long.  All Reiner can hear is a ringing in his ears at first.  The explosion, the wind...

...it's a great thing that this room is soundproofed, right?

...and then that voice, that awareness, brings him back to his senses.

As Reiner opens his eyes and looks around the room, seeing all the devestation, he can't help but wonder out loud, "...what the hell just happened...?"

And then the voice speaks again.  Were it not for how...different it sounded, he might have mistaken it for another...it sounds so strange, yet...familiar...and it's saying...

...Daddy?

When Reiner looks down and sees the squirming, adorable, primarily green Volchik in his arms, it comes rushing back.

The Egg.

Lucy's Egg.

It hatched.

Its cracks sounded like Thunder and Lightning, the raw energy pouring out from it whipped up a howling gale in less than a second...

.....Daddy? Daddy?


The voice interrupts all other trains of thought, though, despite that emblem on Volchik's chest demanding attention [an emblem that Taylor might very well recognize, given what it represents and where she's been...].  Wait, does that voice belong to...?

The Volchik chirps curiously, followed by another...

.....Daddy?

...the voice isn't vocal.  It's telepathic!  And as that realization dawns on Reiner, he feels just how much power this Volchik is radiating...

.....Daddy? Daddy?

That last one snaps Reiner out of that realization.  He's holding a newborn child, and she's expecting attention.  At least, that's what it seems like...?

"...sorry, little one.  Give me a sec...you, uh...made quite an entrance...heh...didn't think Taylor's warning about female Volchik getting into more interesting kinds of trouble would be so relevant so soon...looks like I need to help clean up this mess you made...oh, right.  You're probably hungry, aren't you?"  *kneels down and digs around in his bag for a sec, then holds out some HQDRs in an open palm to Volchik*  "...here ya go.  Should be both nourishing and delicious."

*chirp!*  Daddy!

Reiner's not entirely sure how much of that the newborn birdie understood, but while she's (presumably) munching on those HQDRs, Reiner will go over to Taylor and see if trying to jostle her awake has any effect.  "Taylor.  Taylor.  Come on, Taylor, I need you to be conscious..."  If that doesn't work...where's Mr. Mime?  Is he still in the room and KOed like everyone else was?  Or did he manage to Teleport away to a different room before the worst part of the storm hit?

And that's what Arial have do. He stay at her side, and say a quiet "Thank you" and stay at her cuddling and exchanging a kiss or another. No more questions, just only to enjoy this moment of peace without any other distraction: No more Legendary Pokemon battle, Cursed Arms or Life and Death situations. Just good times for now on and his family and girlfriend.

I mean, man I crazy for you, but I sometimes can't why you look at me like I was some kind of Super Hero or amazing person. No that I mind but...well to starters I crazy, have mental problems, a masoquist, and member of a crime organization. Not to mention a hater of humanity in general. I not exactly what I would call a "good" boyfriend material."

Judging by how your Bug Lady lets out a *Ch-ch-chiiiigh....* of pure content and readily recipriocated your cuddles, you're doing an excellent job of making her feel better and restoring the romantic mood. Crisis averted, thank the Dark god!

....Really?
Hehehehe.....what? Never hear of FTFY? Just lending a helping hand....
*Sighs*.....Moving on.

From what you could tell, Riza was perfectly open to anything you requested of her/with her, including......hm. As for the matter of prenancy, given her current state, you also assume the likelihood of that happening is about that same for a Legendary showing up and willingly becoming......a normal person's partner. Still, its always prudent to take precaution in intimacy, so your concern about that is both practical and sweet.

When you questioned with mystification as to why the reformed Vampire was so interested in them and now loved him, she just looked up you with open curiosity/confusion, before one of her extra hands reach up and pointed at you, booping your nose in the process.

{Because......You Are Arial. Always Felt.....Connection With You. Is Why I......Took You. Learn More About You. .......Everything Became.......Different. Dangerous. Deadly. For Me. Should Have......Should Have Died. That Night.....To Darkness. For Daring to Hunt It.}

{.....But. You Saved My Life. Took Away..... Bad Urges. Showed Me Kindness, Care........Understanding. You....Done Much For Me. Help Very Much......Not Deserve. Not Deserve Any Of It. But.....You Did. Meant......So Much To Me. Means So Much Now. Now.....Forever....}

....Well, when she put it like that, it pretty simple why she grew to like and love you so much. You are pretty much a combination of best and only friend, savor, and now love of her life. Hard not to get attached to someone like that, even if they have a closet full of skeletons and who knows how many screws loose. If anything, being just as warped as her was probably responsible for you tow becoming such close friend and then a couple. 

Guess the old saying is true: Crazy attracts crazy.

Now it was time for Arial get blush like a big tomato. It was very cute to say honestly. He also open a smile and talk. "W-well, thank you! But to be honest I could not let you be squashed to Reiner. Despite you took me, you have take care of my injuries, and also take care of my Pokemons. I could already tell in that time you was not a bad person. Just confused and alone. I could this conection with you."

Arial then return to cuddle on her girlfriend, when they heard a huge grown, like some sort of angry and wild Charizard...with have turned out to be trully Arial stomach grown. He look at Riza, clearly embarassed and apologize. "Hehe, sorry^^" Could eat to much today. I have only eat this morning, and go in some deadly mission open a hole in the stomach." Arial stand up and offer a hand to help her stand up to. After that he search in his bag until he find a Phone. "I have a few numbers of food places to ask delivery food. Maybe Pizza, Chinese food or whatever food place its open. How about we ask some food and call a day dear? It was a long day for both of us and we need to restore our energy. Also, do you mind if I sleep here tonight? I kinda to much tired to go walk to the Hotel now. And a pizza could be a good food for our Pokemon to eat. Maybe we should tell your hive about the news too? You can bring your bugs to eat with us too!"

Well, if you can wax lyrical, so can I!

Kingdra has come a far way from where she started, eh? From a sweet but volatile dragoness that was always threatening to OUTRAGE, to a matured Dragon that still has a quite the temper, but complete control over it. What a development.

A radical, absurdly rapid development in character to be sure, but then again, The Flower Festival has been a grand stage for the most interesting times and exciting events. During this week, anything that could happen did - or felt like so - and made what once was impossible seem horribly quaint now. Taylor's return is prime example of that, to say the least.

So in that light, with her reunion with her all but sister in blood Lucy, and lastly Reiner's constant support and influence, Kingdra becoming a Noble Dragon in an instant wasn't so strange. It was just the result of a culmination of many things, at long last coming together in the most auspicious of fashions.

The power of family......it's truly something special.

~~~

Your turbulent tyke tilts her head at you and chirped innocently, appearing completely oblivious to the fact she totaled an entire room on accident, much less that was a problem.  The concepts of culpability, responsibility, guilt, or even basic comprehension of wrongness for her actions were therefore entirely absent, leaving her to naturally conclude she did nothing wrong or without thought. Right now, about the only things she understand/was totally aware of were her daddy (who seems worried about something?), a rudimentary conceptual understanding of emotions (hers and others), and the bundle of instincts/instinctual Knowledge her Pokemon heritage gifted her. 

Her worldview, morality, ethics....they were practically non-existent for Legendary Volchick. The only thing that had any controlling motivation and disinclination for her actions were her base instincts.....and you, her father, to whom she loves and adores above all else, and to whom she will listen to without qualm (For now, at least. Wait until she hits puberty....).

Such was the typical behavior of young Pokemon, but for her.......it was something to give one pause.

Fortunately for you, being feed was universal understood by Pokemon, causing her to let out a sweet and happy *Chirp!* before she started to dig in, pecking away at the HQDR slowly but ravenously.
Food! Food! Mmm.....Yum!
More than sufficiently distracted by her first meal (and what a meal it was!), you were able to go over and check on Taylor.

*Rolls*

....and after shaking her shoulder for a bit, she slowly is roused from her disheveled state, miraculously only being dropped to 1 HP and knocked unconscious instead of truly Fainted. She leans up from the ground, biting out a loan moan and held her head in one hand, shaking it a bit to try and clear the Pained daze that was clouding her mind.

"Uurraaaagggg..... My head......urrrraaa......my body. Feels like I downed half a bottle of moonshine with Cathy......then beaten down and set on fire by the rest of it. *Looks over to you blearily, realizing you are there* .....Reiner? *Glances around the room* Urrrrr......what the HELL happened?And why.......don't you look about as good as everything else in here?"

*Rolls*

Mr. Mime is unfortunately Fainted, as LV's hatching completely took him off guard, prevent him from Teleporting away or using his other Psychic powers to protect himself. Tough luck for the butler.

Now it was time for Arial get blush like a big tomato. It was very cute to say honestly. He also open a smile and talk. "W-well, thank you! But to be honest I could not let you be squashed to Reiner. Despite you took me, you have take care of my injuries, and also take care of my Pokemons. I could already tell in that time you was not a bad person. Just confused and alone. I could this conection with you."

Arial then return to cuddle on her girlfriend, when they heard a huge grown, like some sort of angry and wild Charizard...with have turned out to be trully Arial stomach grown. He look at Riza, clearly embarassed and apologize. "Hehe, sorry^^" Could eat to much today. I have only eat this morning, and go in some deadly mission open a hole in the stomach." Arial stand up and offer a hand to help her stand up to. After that he search in his bag until he find a Phone. "I have a few numbers of food places to ask delivery food. Maybe Pizza, Chinese food or whatever food place its open. How about we ask some food and call a day dear? It was a long day for both of us and we need to restore our energy. Also, do you mind if I sleep here tonight? I kinda to much tired to go walk to the Hotel now. And a pizza could be a good food for our Pokemon to eat. Maybe we should tell your hive about the news too? You can bring your bugs to eat with us too!"

Riza answered your semi-flustered rationalization simply by cuddling your even harder than before, as you just re-affirmed more or less that you and her have always shared a bond, one that has grown by exponential leaps and bounds in a matter of a couple of day. While the accelerated development in their relationship was no doubt aided by mind whammy shenanigans of the Psychic Cursed Arm T.P.K. (Casually renamed 'Tobius'), it couldn't account for all the strides in it. For all intents and purposes, the love between you and your vamp of a girlfriend was natural, wholesome, fulfilling and, dare it be thought, positively indulgent.

You've heard tale of a concept that could so neatly explain the how's and why's of your relationship with - to be frank - an insane, monstrous, and often bi-polar semi-reformed serial killer: she was your Soul Mate, an equal that perfectly compliment you in almost every way uniquely, for better or worse. Farfetch'd idea, but then again The Flower Festival's 'festivities' proved anything could be feasible. Besides, you were Insane yourself; through MADNESS and a sufficiently unhinged perspective, the impossible doesn't exist.

So yeah, love your cuddlebugg with are your heart and SOUL! Nothing wrong with that!

You two eventually settle on picking up a huge quantity of takeout pizza at none-descript fast food Italian restaurant (After you explained what this 'pizza' was to her) with no incident whatsoever after the both of you departed from the warehouse to continue what amounted to your first date (You two ate somewhere private, of course). Watching her timidly and then with a-gusto eating the hot tangy pies was both an endearing and fascinating sight - and a bit of a mess, but that was were the napkins were for! - and most of your (As in, only Arial's) Pokemon all had a blast chowing down and generally mingling with their brother and (from the feel of it) new sister. 

Sekmet was wholey ecstatic and cheerful about the union, Baltazar had a knowing understanding and easy going acceptance of it, and Melchior was apprehensive but ultimately chill about it since being with Riza made you so happy. Airmid had no qualms whatsoever and seemed thrilled at the pairing (Surprisingly, or not), while Asura was both regal and a total bro about it, offering a polite, respectful head bow and a noble fist bump for finding your fated partner. 

The only Pokemon of yours who was not on-board the new Rizarial Ship was your brother Gaspar, who was understandably sullen and unhappy about the whole affair, choosing to isolate himself to his Pokeball for the time being after only half-heartily eating a slice of pizza. Any attempt on your part to summon them thereafter during the night end in failure. Clearly, your metamorphic sibling's opinion isn't going to change or improve on your significant other soon, that's for sure.

Riza's own Bugs (It should be noted you had to coax her into releasing them), on the other hand, were.......distant and nebulously speculative came to mind. All of them kept a great berth of space from you and your own for the most part, with only Dragonfighter (Yanmega) and strangely enough Insectspector (Shedninja) snatching slices of gooey goodness before hastily retreating to their safe zone. 

In case you are wondering, Shedninja 'eating' consists of it just.......sticking it into his back hole, where it promptly vanished forever. Anti-climatic, but still thought provoking.

Regardless, it was clear that the Bug Lady's insects weren't so eager to fully accept you as their Hive Leader Queen Friend yet, with Buzzburner (Volcarona) and Dragonfighter being especially reluctant/dismissive (A given, since they were the ones to Fight you the night before yesterday's). Oh well, it'll happen eventually, or you two will learn how to adapt to their preferences regardless.

Eventually, your own private and 'wild' date (yet ironically much less so than Reiner's own evening activities) winds to a close, and you two return to the warehouse, finding some comfy enough mats and old packing material to use as bedding for the night. As Riza snuggles closer to your chest and slowly dozes off with you mussing her hair, you reflect just how wild this later half of the Flower Festival has been, and how much it invariably changed your life. 

Before you meet Reiner, you were an unrepentant, misanthropic madman , who's chaotic and destructive proclivity was only restrained by your sense of Survival, your family, and a bleakly cynical appreciation (read: laughing at and mocking of) of humanity's nature. Now.....well, you were still all that, but you were much more conscientious and less obnoxious about it, managed to make some human friends (some more begrudgingly than most on their end of the deal) and plenty of Pokemon ones, had an dangerously awesome (or awesomely dangerous) adventure, and found the love of your life.

On the whole, this Flower Festival wasn't really half bad at all. 

You still had unfinished business and loose ends to tie up, and the future was as unhelpfully uncertain as it even has been, but that was unimportant now. Now, you had a wonderful girlfriend to sleep away the night with, and pleasant dreams yet to come......

=~~~=

........I'm only teasing, of course..

You suddenly find yourself awake, leaning up in bed with Riza snoozing away peacefully by your side.

A little distance away from your 'bed' in the open space of the warehouse, there was suddenly an exquisitely designed white table and two sets of chairs, with what looks to be a positively delectable spread of finger foods on it, as well as what appeared to be containers of your favorite beverage and several bottles of expensive wine.

Sitting in one of those chairs, was a tall, straight raven haired, and bronze skinned woman, wearing a simple but beautiful white dress. In one hand she held a glass of burgandy liquid, and in the other.......

.....was none other than The the Cursed Arm Mamudo Eclispe.

"Oh, don't be so surprised by this piece, little jester.....and everyone else, honestly. Did anybody really think Genesis Supernova, a PSYCHIC type Move, would be able to do so much as coyly flirt with the Dark type Cursed Arm, much less harm it."

The mysterious woman chuckled to herself, whom you don't recognize in appearance but most definitely by my lovely voice, her expression riff with fey amusement.

"Oh, how utterly and hilariously naive my horrible little sister and the drake are, and yet how ever so grateful I am for their collaboration. Dragonstrike should have listened to her - Ugh, I can't believe I've said such a terrible thing now, bah! - and read between the lines Lord Windos wrote, but I can hardly blame them for that. Our hamster can be so horribly inept it at describing things at times, and believing in your own truths is far easier than accepting reality for what it is. Cest' la vie, as they say in Kalos."

She shrug lack-a-daisily, before gesturing at the other chair, and it quietly pull out from under the table and turns towards you, and the dark goddess of a woman beckons you over with a gesture, a smile, and her black and golden eyes.

"Ah, but enough of that divine comedy act! That's not why I'm here tonight, meeting with you, Arial Schrodinger. So come on and take a seat, grab some grub - its perfectly alright, trust me - and....."

My smile widens and my eyes gleam as I take a sip of wine.

"Let us begin discussing the fate of the woman cozying up by your side, shall we?"

My smile widens and my eyes gleam as I take a sip of wine.

"Let us begin discussing the fate of the woman cozying up by your side, shall we?"

Before Arial our dark godness could react, everyone could my voice. "Welp, I have suspect Mamudo Eclipse was not destroyed. As always, you dont stop in surprise me Godness of Darkness."

From one corner of the warehouse appear a strange looking person. He was wearing a red and black smoking for the ocasion. He was...kinda similar in appearance to Arial, but instead of the brown air Arial have, this one have a more dark color. He was also wearing a retangle glasses with a few silver details. 

He nod his head to the white dress woman. "Sorry about the late. Its is kinda difficult to find a suited avatar to come to this world. Also, nice dress. Its make a great constrast with your golden eyes."

I then look in the direction of Arial who was problably with his jaw dropped in see such similarity between us. I scracth the back of my head and apologize. "Heh, I sorry. I was just excited to finally see you in person and I forgot what kind of reaction you would have. I did forgot to introduce myself! *Ahem* My name, is Spiritmon Pendragon. But you can call me Spirit. Its a honor and pleasure in see you two."

"Uh, eh, its also a pleasure to...meet you too I guess? Its the pizza I eat was drugg?" The so called Spirit chuckle a bit. "Well, you could say this is a "cheesy" situation my friend." He wave a hand almost like to dismiss and asking to forget the pun. "Sorry. It is a old habit of mine in make bad pun. Forgive myself for that Zuryk. I understand you did not make this meeting to hear puns."

Arial then recover himself from the startle in see someone so much similar to him in personality and appearence. "I kinda not surprised anymore about this. Uh, Riza, wake up, we...kinda visits here. Try to not make scare yourself."

Then Spirit finally came closer to the table. "Mind if I sit here Zuryk? Unless you do not want me here of course."

Mr. Mime is unfortunately Fainted, as LV's hatching completely took him off guard, prevent him from Teleporting away or using his other Psychic powers to protect himself. Tough luck for the butler.

Well, she certainly knows a lot of words for a newborn, doesn't she?  Or maybe it's just the nature of Psychic abilities meshing with her pokemon instincts...Reiner's not exactly an expert in that field, obviously, so it's kinda hard to tell.

Fortunately for the chick, Reiner's not angry with her for wrecking the place.  Not this time, anyways.  She is only a newborn, after all.  You can hardly blame them entirely for any trouble they cause, and it's the parents' job to clean up any messes that do happen...and also help the child grow out of causing said messes in the first place by teaching them whatever's necessary.

In short, this is 100% going to be a work in progress.

Moving on for now...



...phew, Taylor's conscious.  Means Reiner doesn't have to use a Revive on her, thankfully.  The same can't be said for Mr. Mime, unfortunately, but that's fine.  That won't be an issue soon.

Reiner does wonder who the heck Cathy is, but he can always ask Taylor about that later.  He offers her a hand to help her sit/stand up once it's clear she's conscious.

"...well, nice to see you had the exact same reaction that I did when I first saw the mess.  I don't think anyone was expecting Lucy's little girl to be able to summon high speed winds...or for the egg to hatch as...violently as it did.  Can't say I totally understand why it hatched so soon...unless maybe you carrying that egg around for two years was a factor...but given that I was in the eye of the storm centered around the egg...well, there's your explanation for why I wasn't blown around like everything and everyone else in the immediate area."

Reiner looks around the room for Mr. Mime, who's obviously KOed.

"...looks like you're one of the 'lucky' ones, and Mr. Mime wasn't.  I'll get him back on his feet, and hopefully we'll be able to get everything cleaned up in short order..." What an interesting choice of words you've used once again, Reiner...
....hope?  Hope!
Huh?  
Hope!  Hope!
Reiner looks towards the little green Volchik, who's temporarily turned her attention away from the food and seems happy to hear the word 'hope' for some reason...maybe she just likes the sound of the word?

Reiner sighs, then chuckles.  "...well, she's certainly going to be a handful, it seems...just like you said she probably would be...heh..."

Insert Taylor's reaction here, I guess?

Insert Taylor's reaction here, I guess?

From what you can glean with your Empathy, the newly semi-self named Hope is a fairly intelligent and bright youth, which explains why she was quickly to pick up new words and form simple sentences. You also are aware of Psychic, Dark, and Ghost type/inclined Pokemon being particularly fast learners, and her Legendary status would logically have a great influence on her overall mental prowess and development. Here's hoping that her budding genuis doesn't cause any trouble for you, or raises more concerns than not!

~~~

Your partner readily accepts your aid, biting back a groan as you helped her stand, leaning on you for support and looking rather surprised, amused, and ever so slightly grumpy as you explained what the heck happened. 

"I sure a hell don't feel so lucky, Reiner, but I'll take your word for it. Darn and knit me into a Christmas sweater if Lucy's little girl doesn't know how to set the scene, though! Her mum's birth shorted out my house for an half an hour, so I sorta expected some damage when her Egg hatched, but.....*Glances around the room again*.....not to this extent. Not by a longshot. Nor this soon, to boot- put the Egg in my PC ASAP after spring my girl, then brought her out to give to ya once I heard from ya. *Pained shrug* So it beats me why her Egg hatched this quickly too. Literally. *Offers you a smile* I'm glad at least you avoided getting blown down and up, though, so small blessing from the Dragon Gods, those stingy bastards."

She chuckles a bit at her blasphemy, then starts shuffling at bit until she pulls out a plain Pokeball from......somewhere, and gives you a weary smile.

"Mind if you prop me up a bit, while I bring out my personal doc? She can help patch me and everyone fast as a Jolteon, so ya don't have to - "

Taylor cuts off as her gaze passes over your god child, her expression freezing like your Frosslad used Sheer Cold on her as she stared them......before she swore.

"What the fuck?! Why does my girl's girl look.......look like the goddamn King of Dragons Rayquaza , in his full fucking glory?! How?"
Fuck? Goddamn? Ray......quaza? *Excited Chirps* Fuck, Fuck! Goddamn Rayquaza, Goddamn Fucking Rayquaza!
.....Well, several things have been made clear now: Hope's picking up new words on the fly, Taylor's likely going to be quite the colorful influence on the tyke, and that she apparently more aware about them than you are, at least as far as appearances go. That, and Taylor didn't hear the hazardous hatchling, since she isn't swearing about that too. Huh.....

Reiner does wonder who the heck Cathy is, but he can always ask Taylor about that later.  He offers her a hand to help her sit/stand up once it's clear she's conscious.

"...well, nice to see you had the exact same reaction that I did when I first saw the mess.  I don't think anyone was expecting Lucy's little girl to be able to summon high speed winds...or for the egg to hatch as...violently as it did.  Can't say I totally understand why it hatched so soon...unless maybe you carrying that egg around for two years was a factor...but given that I was in the eye of the storm centered around the egg...well, there's your explanation for why I wasn't blown around like everything and everyone else in the immediate area."


Reiner looks around the room for Mr. Mime, who's obviously KOed.

"...looks like you're one of the 'lucky' ones, and Mr. Mime wasn't.  I'll get him back on his feet, and hopefully we'll be able to get everything cleaned up in short order..."  What an interesting choice of words you've used once again, Reiner...
....hope?  Hope!
Huh?  
Hope!  Hope!
Reiner looks towards the little green Volchik, who's temporarily turned her attention away from the food and seems happy to hear the word 'hope' for some reason...maybe she just likes the sound of the word?

Reiner sighs, then chuckles.  "...well, she's certainly going to be a handful, it seems...just like you said she probably would be...heh..."

Insert Taylor's reaction here, I guess?

From what you can glean with your Empathy, the newly semi-self named Hope is a fairly intelligent and bright youth, which explains why she was quickly to pick up new words and form simple sentences. You also are aware of Psychic, Dark, and Ghost type/inclined Pokemon being particularly fast learners, and her Legendary status would logically have a great influence on her overall mental prowess and development. Here's hoping that her budding genuis doesn't cause any trouble for you, or raises more concerns than not!

Your partner readily accepts your aid, biting back a groan as you helped her stand, leaning on you for support and looking rather surprised, amused, and ever so slightly grumpy as you explained what the heck happened. 

"I sure a hell don't feel so lucky, Reiner, but I'll take your word for it. Darn and knit me into a Christmas sweater if Lucy's little girl doesn't know how to set the scene, though! Her mum's birth shorted out my house for an half an hour, so I sorta expected some damage when her Egg hatched, but.....*Glances around the room again*.....not to this extent. Not by a longshot. Nor this soon, to boot- put the Egg in my PC ASAP after spring my girl, then brought her out to give to ya once I heard from ya. *Pained shrug* So it beats me why her Egg hatched this quickly too. Literally. *Offers you a smile* I'm glad at least you avoided getting blown down and up, though, so small blessing from the Dragon Gods, those stingy bastards."

She chuckles a bit at her blasphemy, then starts shuffling at bit until she pulls out a plain Pokeball from......somewhere, and gives you a weary smile.

"Mind if you prop me up a bit, while I bring out my personal doc? She can help patch me and everyone fast as a Jolteon, so ya don't have to - "

Taylor cuts off as her gaze passes over your god child, her expression freezing like your Frosslad used Sheer Cold on her as she stared them......before she swore.

"What the fuck?! Why does my girl's girl look.......look like the goddamn King of Dragons Rayquaza , in his full fucking glory?! How?"
Fuck? Goddamn? Ray......quaza? *Excited Chirps* Fuck, Fuck! Goddamn Rayquaza, Goddamn Fucking Rayquaza!
.....Well, several things have been made clear now: Hope's picking up new words on the fly, Taylor's likely going to be quite the colorful influence on the tyke, and that she apparently more aware about them than you are, at least as far as appearances go. That, and Taylor didn't hear the hazardous hatchling, since she isn't swearing about that too. Huh.....

(Oi! Reiner/@Dragonstrike! Control your girfriend swearing before the little baby pick the wrong words! Dont make a bad example!)

This was me Spiritmon pratically screaming inside Reiner head in see the little chick swearing curse words.
