[Game Thread] Pokerole: Mount Coronet Mystery

[Dragonstrike]

At the same time Susano'o stop battling, the energy of Mega Evolution end, returning to his original form. "You also not bad yourself kid. Rapidash, Luxio and your Gyarados is indeed all strong. Really strong. We could able to deal with such powerful foe thanks to Hypnosis and Nightmare. Don't slack off in your studies girl. You are young and filled with energy, I give you that."

"But let you give a word of wisdom, from someone who lived for a long time: Be careful in your adventures, and don't let your guard down. Even more in dangerous places. Despite the world has beauty, it also has dangers who would make even the heart of the bravest trainer tremble. Remember: It's not only you should take care, but also your Pokemon. They are your friends and companion. If you not careful...you can lost more than you imagine..."

Than Kogeki show the piece of clothes who hide his wood left arm to the young Ace trainer. "...I normally don't show this, but you show skill and power, so carve this image in your mind. May we fight again in the future."

Then Kogeki show his wood hand and offer a handshake. "I look forward for our future battle Ace Trainer Alexis. I Kogeki. Can we exchange numbers?"

Also, Kogeki happily take the money and Exp. Share!

Also, awesome description of final scene Dragonstrike!

(Thanks for the compliment!)

Alexis chuckles nervously when kogeki tells her to not slack off in her studies.  "...haha...yeah.  Funny story: I'm not actually here for my own studies.  My little brother Jason's still learning some of the ropes.  He's got some talent, but I gotta keep a careful eye on him."

When Kogeki shows Alexis his wooden arm, she gasps and covers her mouth with one of her hands in surprise.  "...oh my Arceus...that...that's horrible..."

She recomposes herself once Kogeki puts it away and asks for a handshake and her phone number though.

"...sorry, it...it's not everyday you see something like that...hm?  Oh, right!  Yeah, if I want a rematch, you kinda need my number, don't ya?  Well, give me a call if you're ever in Snowpoint in the future!  I'll probably be here!"

Kogeki gets Ace Trainer Alexis's Phone Number!

[Dragonstrike]

Also as a side note, is Susano'o also getting a Will Point too? Since he did his best with beating Gyarados, destroying Rapidash, and testing his Mega Form plus Swords Dance and Iron Defense. Not to mention tanking 2 Electric type moves, being one of them be Wild Charge. Not to mention almost finished off a Gyarados.

And I suppose Nami It's not happy in be fainted again right? That's the third time this week.

Sure, Susano'o can also have a Will Point.  That battle did go fairly well for him, after all.

Yeah, Nami's probably going to be pretty annoyed.  Better be ready to brush her feathers later!

By the time everyone has regrouped at the Pokemon Center, it's getting rather late in the day.  Everyone's probably getting a little worried since Professor Rowan hasn't walked in the door yet, and the sun's starting to go down.  Snowpoint is cold during the day, but at night?  It's freezing.  Even the locals don't stay outdoors for long when night falls.

The Pokemon Center's lobby is just as busy at the end of the day as it was in the morning.  Bug Catchers, Youngsters, Lasses, Ace Trainers, Snowboarders, Skiers...everyone who's gotten a room at the Center has returned by now.

Eventually, the crowds start to thin as it gets later and later.  An hour passes.  An hour and a half.  The lobby ends up much quieter as the majority of people turn in for the night.

...but just when members of the group start to consider turning in themselves, the front door of the Center is flung wide open, and a frigid breeze heralds the arrival of someone!  The coat and other protective gear they're wearing are so thick that it's impossible to tell who they are at first.

But everyone (except maybe Kee if he's still waiting with the group) recognizes who he is as soon as he takes off the hat and goggles.


Music: Professor Rowan - Pokemon Diamond/Pearl/Platinum

"...well, that took longer than I was expecting it to..." he mumbles to himself.

The first thing he does upon entering the Pokemon Center's Lobby is head over to the counter and hand the overnight Nurse (it's a different person, not Nurse Joy) a pokeball.  "Staraptor could use a little warming up, if you don't mind, Nurse.  It is positively frigid out there."

His pokemon accounted for, he turns and looks around the room to see who's present.  Once he sees everyone gathered at the table, he pulls up a chair and sits at it himself.

"Ah, good to see you all again.  Apologies for taking so long.  Those last minute arrangements were trickier to negotiate than I thought they'd be.  Anyways...how have you all been faring in the meanwhile?  I trust there hasn't been much trouble while you've been awaiting my arrival?"

As the daylight dwindled and faded into the smoky blackness of night, like the fires of a forge slowly be put out, Randolph was seriously starting to get irritated that Professor Rowan had still not dragged his feet through the Center's doors yet. By this point he'd read his all he cared for, drank all his cocoa, and Beethoven had fallen asleep earlier in the evening (So no more of their favorite music from them), so with no distractions and no desire to pass the time nattering with his co-workers, his patience for this long wait was growing thin.

He knew they got caught up in some dang last minute business or complication of sorts, but for a day and then some to pass and there was not yet any sign or hint of that proper old coot was really testing his commitment to this confound-it supernatural conspiracy mystery they called a 'job'. If it was anyone else that kept him waiting this long and for nearly ANY other work, he'd just blow the whole thing off and tell them to shove it if they badgered him for help again. Sure, he managed to keep himself occupied in the mean time, and he and his partners managed to chase up some leads on this catastrophe in progress - including finding someone else that had be dragged half-way across the world here, and now wanted to help solve this global problem - but that was no excuse for them to take so bloody damn long -

The internal tirade he was having was cut off when the doors of the center were dramatic forced open to reveal some the totally decked out stranger, catching his attention like a Magikarp to an Old Rod and causing him to frown and scoff.

'What's that bloke over there trying to do, causing a scene at this time of day? Bah, only a fool or someone suffering from frostbite pulls that kind of stunt......'

Ran, your hippocracy is showing!

Before he could properly get another good silent grumping going, the stranger revealed himself to be none other Professor Rowan, prompting the bristly blacksmith eyes to go wide in recognition until he threw his hands up in the air and nearly exclaimed thus in mixed exasperation and relief:

"Endlich ist der alte Forscher da! Von Feuerstein und Stahl, für einen so verdammt wichtigen Job, für den er uns engagiert hat, hat er sich nicht beeilt, pünktlich hierher zu kommen!"
Translations: Finally, that old sodding researcher has arrived! By flint and Steel, for such an damn important job he hired us for, he didn't make much haste to get here on time!
When sat down greeted them, Randolph  gave the scholarly gentleman a frown and deadpan look, his tone was gruff and at some points knowingly droll.

"We've never meet before in our life until now, Rowan. Unless you count the mail you sent, or done some snooping on me. And yes, you sure took ya time getting here. An outrageous amount of time, with very little warning or contingencies in place for the wait, some may say. Like me."

Yeah.......Ran ain't regarding the good old professor that well right now, for a number of reasons, obvious and not.

After a moment of purposeful silence, the midget man closed his eyes, let out a *Sigh....* and looked back at Rowan again, his expression now neutral but serious.

"You're here now though, so I suppose that's what matters in the end. Name's Randolph Schimdt. I'm that old bastard of a blacksmith and miner that the lad recommended to ya. Would say its a pleasure meeting ya, but  it ain't. Don't hate ya, but I don't have much reason to like you that much either right now. Not too happy with ya or the job you baited me into too, in case you didn't know that by now."

Blunt as a hammer, and his manner course as sandpaper, Ran is. Seesh.

"As for trouble besides making us all wait like Breeder hatching their Eggs...."

He jerk a thumb at Kee (or Kogeki/Karen, if they are not there).

".....I'd say your trust has been misplaced a bit. Kogeki and Karen know this more than me, but to be brief...."

[Insert Explanation Here!]

".....So in sum, I'd say this problem mystery of yours is starting to get well out of hand. A bit. A lot of bits. But maybe that's just me."

His tone was so dry, you could make jerky with it.

"Took you long enough old man. How things going?" Kogeki was not in the table with everyone else, but instead appear behind professor Rowan like the ninja he is.

Talking about being furtive.

"So, I explained most of what happened around Coronet to everyone else: Walls, Primals, and most of the information. I supose your meeting with the Elite have go smooth correct?"

"There is more information to be shared, but lets sit down and have this conversation."

[Mikaruge108]

But when she proposes such a loaded question, he just stares at her for a good minute, then turns away to not face her and takes a sip from another (this time non-alcoholic) drink he was bringing along. "I.... guess so, it's Octavia here." He points to the shiny Sylveon resting on his shoulder once again, as her name fell she perks up, jumps at the table and wraps one ribbon around Karen's wrist as a greeting and to read her feelings. "Otherwise, if you do mean romance-wise, nope. Single life is best life."

(gonna do this in a points version as I'm having some major writer's block rn)
-Karen gives Kee a slight pout when he ruffles her hair
-Karen'll also pat the fae eeveelution between the ears

------------------
-Karen is sipping on some rosehip tea when the Prof. comes in; "Finally."

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

Karen gives Kee a slight pout when he ruffles her hair.

Haha, that actually causes him to smile. "You're cute, I like you."

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


Of course Kee's still there and waiting!~ In particular he's at the table with Karen/by her side and he's all used to staying up half or a whole night. And he's not drunk, more like a bit lit. Not too lit that he can't think clearly anymore, but lit enough that the next morning he'll wonder about why the heck he bought a long red coat. ...That one's comfy and warm though, so he'll keep and wear it now from time to time~

I'll just assume that someone told him that they are waiting for Prof.Rowan or some Prof. to appear to talk about important things concerning that mystery at the mountain, and that it's directly connected to why he ended up here in this frosty town far away from where he should be. In that case, of course he'll stick around and wait for that ominous person as long as needed! He'll just pass the time with attuning his electric guitar for the n-th time (he really likes doing that), caring for his Pokemon (in particular, brushing Octavia's sparkling blue fur and grooming Yurei's ghostly feathers) and enjoying more (non-alcoholic) drinks.


As that chilling breeze blew through the Center and unnecessarily reminded Kee on his time in that frosty and wet cave, he looked up but, well, let the others handle things and set the pace for now. But, he greets Rowan with quite the similar semi-playful salute he already gave Officer Jenny earlier. "Be greeted, professor!~ Before you ask, uh, I got dragged into this whole pile of dramatic events before I could do a thing." ┐(￣ヮ￣)┌

[Dragonstrike]

Karen then proceeds to take out her phone and send Jasmine another message

Spoiler

Just saved this cute fellow that was freezing in Acuity's cave they've got this, rocker feel to 'em.

Jasmine's reply:

Wow, he IS cute!  But that Sylveon is even more adorable!  Awwww!!  Not sure about his taste in clothing, though.  A bit too...loud for my tastes.

[Dragonstrike]

The Professor is entirely unfazed by Kogeki's sudden appearance.  He's used to it by now.  "Yes, my meeting with the League did go rather well, disregarding all the little bumps along the way.  It took a little convincing, but I've managed to secure us a little more help since you confirmed the problem is bigger than we initially thought."

Professor Rowan raises a furrowed brow as Randolph points out the newcomer at the table and how Kogeki and Karen came across him.  "Another of those strange murals?  Here?  And you were attacked by a swarm of aggressive Snover?  That is...odd.  Snover usually don't have any need to be aggrssive...if they were Abomasnow, that'd be a different matter, but if the local wild pokemon are getting agitated..."

He nearly gets lost in thought, but soon shakes his head and turns to the Unovan trainer to address him directly.  "My apologies for the situation you've found yourself in.  What's your name, and where exactly are you from again?"

[Spiritmon]

I forget in ask that but did Aspido Sitrus regrown again? Harvest should active by now.
