Re: PMD Returns: stories of PMD-A and PMD-B

Almer, PMD-B

While outside some Pokémon are coming in and looking at the mess in one of the houses where an Armaldo has just crashed on the roof, a certain Aron walks into the restaurant through the back door, carrying a small cart. He has more important business than the possibility of the warring factions in the island causing trouble and devastation on his very street such as ensuring that the customers of the local are well tended to and hence build up a sense of security to take advantage of.


Demeros: <Aaaand this is it. With these vegetables and cookies our two groups of guests should have a happy meal...> -- snickers -- <even better once we add the [secret ingredient]~>

The Pokémon heads to the kitchen to start working on some stuff for nomtime. Then he stops for a moment, thinking he's just heard something that wasn't there before, and decides to run a check across the restaurant.

Starting with the flower pots.

Demeros sees a Meowth wandering outside checking the flowers.

Demeros: <Customers~> -- hops around.

The Aron puts up his best face and goes talk to the Meowth outside.

Demeros: <Welcome, little cat… Are you a foreigner looking for a place to stay, by any chance? I have great, unrivaled prizes because I'll take everything in your wallet anyway~>

Demeros: <W-wait more customers?> -- blinks, sum some numbers in his head -- <B-b-but I was not warned! And I can only make the noms for two groups! ._.>

The poor Aron looks around then sighs.

<Well… uhm, I guess it's my fault. The owner went to check that the scuffle across the street does not cause us troubles, you must have come in after that. Mind stepping in so that I can register your group properly? And ideally tell me how much money are you carrying>

Hotel Room - Almer

Demeros: <Actually,> -- turns to Ally -- <it is not necessary for all of you to come, I just need the ones of you who have the money are responsible for the rest of the group... Please, come~>

After that, Demeros listens to the mons referring to somemon named Trip who was out of view. Demeros cursed his luck, there were too many mons for him to swipe handle alone; with Ponzi gone until who knows when, he'd have to handle it naturally in the meantime.

Demeros calls some of the mons to the main room of the restaurant for them to answer some simple questions and sign up some blood contracts.

Almer - Restaurant

(After this, this, this and  this post)

Demeros the Aron watches as one of the mons, the one called "Trip", hands over some piece of pocket lint, then this escalates into a minor argument that prompts Eskay to fetch and put on the table a Pokédollar. A weird thing that apparently was not only quite old, but also quite well preserved.

Demeros knew his business though; he picked the bill and pretended to examine it as if it was not really different than a random sheet of Pokéherb. He took a look at it, nibbled at it softly, breathed at it and then licked one of the edges.

Demeros: <Hmmm… well you are bringing quite some weird things. See, this weird... "Pokédollar" thing is not going to feed my business my family of three.> -- shrugs -- <But it is a rare material and you are willing to trade over it, so I guess this will at least cover your stay until Ponzi can take it to one of the [archivists] in the Johto faction to examine it, in about three days.>

With that, the Aron fakes a "barely content" look and grabs the bill.

Demeros: «Suckers... now we know the one named Trip hides something and the one named Eskay is willing to bail the others... might make for an interesting ransom...»

Meanwhile, the sound of a wall crushing and of some attacks being traded around can be heard coming from across the street, in the building that was evacuated. As some policemon officers start spreading around and doing what little they can do, Ponzi pretends to be helping an old lady Jynx to climb down a ladder to fetch a couple of pots and small items of value for himself, which then he stores in his small bag.

Demeros calls one of Trip's group to the kitchen and shows them the various stuff lying around, as well as some herbs.

Demeros: <I have to be not too honest, we hadn't expected to have this many sudden guests, so we have only enough meals and noms for about six to eight Pokémon. I'll do what I can with this, but I would be glad if one of you goes inform the owner, the Bulbasaur called Ponzi across the street, of this situation...>

As Skye watches out of the window, depending on which side of the building is she in, she might notice  some things.

At the street side, a patrol of Manectric, Spearow and other mons are trying to move peoplemons around and trying to get into the now almost collapsing building across the street to stop the mons fighting there. Some young mons such as a Jynx who says she just lost a family heirloom are being interviewed by the officers.

In the second floor the Armaldo can be seen standing up, shaking up, then looking at a hole in the ceiling to notice a Grovyle standing on the edge.

Liaco the Grovyle♀: <I can't believe you would just do that…> -- gets into a fighting stance -- <We all trusted you!>

Medin the Armaldo♂: <Their world is better.> -- spreads arms -- <You should be honored.>

The Grovyle walks closer into the edge and summons her plant power to grow her leaf blades, prompting the Armaldo to sneer.

Liaco♀ -clenches a fist: <You traitor, to all of us, Hoenn mons! We were having a good life to hand it over to them!>

Medin♂: <Fool. The Ancients Empire controls everything… you just don't see it!>

With that, the Armaldo Hone Claws into a Earth Power which is aimed at the hole in the ceiling, then he jumps to try and smack a nearby wall. By that time though the Grovyle has swiftly sneaked into the hold, sliding down one of the walls and then jumping off from it right in time to kick the Armaldo in the back when the Fossil Pokémon is mid-jump. With some grumbles, the two fighters fall to the already weakened ground and then dash at each other to attack in close range…

Golden Forests

Various young mons have gathered in the feeding areas. Their parents and teachers explain there will be a [party] coming soon, with free meals. When some of the Zigzagoon kits ask who will the party be for, one of the Ursaring asks a nearby Espeon and explains that it's "apparently for a Skarmory".

A mob of Murkrow instantly flies ahead to wait for the "unsuspecting" visitors.

Outskirts of Golrod

The Murkrows stay behind. The one of them that was just Friendzoned is drowning his sorrows in a bowl of Miltank milk, while the others are making the effort of keeping said Miltank distracted, and are being swung off the sky one by one by said Miltank's Milk Machine Gun.

Golden Forests Borders

A patrol consisting of two Nidorina, a Marill and a Loudred are wandering across a checkpoint in the path from Golrod to the forest.

The members of the patrol notice the group of a [Skarmory], two 'gators and some other mons approaching. Despite the numerical disadvantage of the patrol they come to the road and stay their ground, though the Loudred does call for reinforcements.

Marill: <Halt, you...> -- walks up to the 'gators, one paw up -- <You better such a numerous group have their [permits] in order!>

Ran the Nidorina swings her paw and greets Lily. <Hey, Lily!> -- to Rosemary -- <Ok, it's OK, the Druddigon just told us something~> -- points to Teala.

Then the four Pokémon listen to Spectrum speak.

Marill: <...Wha? ._.>

Ran the Nidorina: <Did she just speak in colors?>

Loudred: <HOW DOES THAT EVEN WORK SOMEMON EXPLAIN TO ME>

Rin the Nidorina -frowns: <The same way you speak in all caps?>

The Pokémon of the patrol quickly concert for a moment to talk about Spectrum's beautiful and colorful voice.

Finally the Marill goes talk with Stratus and the 'gators.

Marill: <You can go pretty much freely to Bluescale I guess. It's dangerous, take this!> -- hands over a [passthrough permit].

Rin -to Lake: <Just don't try to come back with an entire gator force as usual. Or we'll wipe your asses. As usual.> -- thumps, frowns.

Marill: <As for you colorful voiced Flygon... you are [welcome]. We are about to have a party for a Skarmory who is yet to arrive so I guess there is some room to pick up more guests!>

Skye's group is given a temporary [permit] and then the Loudred joins the party (temporarily!) to guide them towards the inner parts of the forest.

Golden Forests

The Loudred walks the group of a [Skarmory] and other Pokémon into the plains where various Linoone and Marill can be seen arranging some stuff. There is also a [big box] lying around, as well as a certain Gengar chatting with an Espeon.

The Gengar laughs and brushes the Espeon's fur.

Espeon Seer -surprised, arches: <Don't DO that!>

Fey the Gengar♀: <Sorry, it's funny. :3>

The Espeon stares back and hisses.

Loudred -to Skye: <It's funny you are a Skarmory. We have a party for a Skarmory who is coming into the forest sometime soon. And I'm not very smart, you know?> - waves a paw friendly to Spectrum.

The Espeon notices the group, tilts head and goes to some of the elders to announce anarrival.

(After this post as reply to this inquiry from Spectrum)

Loudred -to Skye: <Well, I don't know why is the party for, but I'm sure you and that other Flygon will get along! He or she will probably will invite you to enjoy the presents!>

At that point a certain Espeon walks in.

Espeon Seer -pats the Loudred: <Forgive him, he's not very smart.>

Loudred: *purrs*.

Espeon Seer: <The party is because of a Skarmory's birthday so it must be you. Betcha you are also named Skye and all. Come along~ :3> -- leads the way.

Loudred -to Spectrum: <Boy your voice is cute. Anyway... I don't know why you are being [welcome] here except you have a beautiful voice. It sounds [godly]. But you will be being handed a permit as well. It's just that the mons here are very leery about large groups.>

After a moment the Espeon and Loudred lead Skye's and Spectrum's group to a large clearing with some trunks and blocks serving as tables. Espeon calls Skye to follow her to the center area.

Treasure Town

While some other things are happening in town, Shahinne and Roc are staying in a random place.  More properly Shahinne is, since Roc has gone scout for new job postings.

When the Staraptor returns, he listens to some pleased trills. He walks into the room to find Shahinne happily noming an apple.

Roc: <Wouldn't you believe it, Shahinne. There was a fire outside.>

Shahinne: <Oh! Did you rain dance it~?> -- pecks an apple.

Roc: <Nah, didn't feel like it. Surely somemon else did it anyway.> -- yawns, walks closer to the Starly -- <Come here, Shahinne.>

Shahinne chirps and leaves her apple, goes to her father who nuzzles her and preens her feathers. The Starly♀ trills pleased and hugs her dad, or more precisely his chest because she's much smaller.

Roc: <Happy birhday, Shahinne.> -- gives the bird a joyful, soft peck.

That's right. Since time in WAAPT flows weirdly, I've decided that today is yesterday so Shahinne can have her birthday. Heck, if I take too long I'll just make tomorrow yesterday and then any day after that too, it's not like we have to follow Real Time anyway.

Shahinne looks up at her dad.

Shahinne: <…What is a birthday?>

Yeah... we'll have to stretch time to explain some things to the Starly. ¬¬

Treasure Town

Shahinne: <I'm special~> -- puffs chest vainly.

Roc frowns at Shahinne, which she ignores. Instead she goes happily nom her apple by the window, by which then she sees the Musharna Hotel. After looking at it for a moment, she chirps and flies to the other end of the room to rest in the open money chest with 65 thousand Poké-whatever.

Shahinne: <Dad! I want to go to the hotel!>

Roc -shakes his head: <We are fine here, dear.>

Shahinne: <But I'm special today!> -- sinks in the chest money, starts "swimming" -- <That place is beautiful and it has a pool and a lot of things and I want!>

Roc walks closer to the chest and brushes his chick.

Shahinne -blinks: <B-b-but we have the [money]~> -- trills and swims in the chest -- <We can buy the suite and you and I can play hide and seet and nom [nuts] all day and buy all we want with the coins and->

Roc: <SHAHINNE NO!> -- thumps the ground.

The Starly jumps surprised and retreats back against the wall of the chest; there she looks up as her father looks down at her sternly. Since Shahinne doesn't seem to understand what the issue is with the coins, Roc sighs and decides to pick her up. Not very gently though.

Shahinne: <eeeeep~>

Roc leaves the chick down in the ground and nests besides her.

Roc: <We should not use that [money], Shahinne...>

Shahinne: <But why not? We earned it!> -- opens eyes wide -- <Or do we have to give it to the prick Chatot?>

Roc: <Yes, well... no...> -- sighs -- <It's complicated.>

Shahinne simply looks up inquisitively.

Roc: <…But if you want to know, fine... I should not hide you from these things. Using this [money] is evil, Shahinne.>

Shahinne: <Evil? ._.>

Roc: <Yes, well… peoplemons died for this [money] Shahinne. Died to make it, more or less. And after they died, more peoplemons died trying to get it too.> -- looks down and pecks her -- <You almost get nomed for it too.>

The Starly thinks for a moment and then blinks, it still doesn't register to her why would that be any important.

Roc: <In a certain way this treasure is made of the suffering and death of others, Shahinne. It means it's [blood money]. If you spend it, you are using their suffering and death for your benefit.>

As Roc explains to the Starly some minor things about the morality of work and how some peoplemons always look to profit from the efforts of others, not caring about their welfare nor their lives, Shahinne grows more wary and scared. When Roc gets to the part where he comments on some of the experiments of people like Cipher, the Starly's eyes grow big, she gulps. After a moment, she ventures a question.

Shahinne: <…What do we do with it then?>

Roc -shakes head: <...Don't know yet. Perhaps I should ask Tagg for advice...>

The two birds stay together for a while, Roc calming Shahinne down.

Shahinne is glomped by a Swablu who appears more or less out of nowhere, fortunately for the Starly.

Shahinne: <Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee~> -- hugs back, somewhat nervously. -- <Birthday hug!>

Roc -tilts head: <Hello there... who might you be?>

Shahinne: <Fluffy~> -- hugs back.

Roc: <Fortissimo, eh? Hmmm... so you are the human sibling of Mezzoforte then.> -- bows -- <I'm Roc and this is my chick, Shahinne. I'm one of Tagg's mons.>

Shahinne jumps to Fortis and returns nuzzles, because she needs a lot of love.
