The giant fortress Pokemon was keeping an eye out on Celia here. It is... interesting to see her like this. So much energy in such a being like this. Very few Pokemon could probably handle this kind of power, much less a human. Gwahacheol's eyes began to flicker a bit here. "EVERYONE HAS-

bern Someone bite my ankle and tell me to get moving on the Sayori & Celia replies.

bern Help me. These Korean inspired Fakemon names hurt to write.

["...THAT MAN CERTAINLY DID TELL ME ABOUT YOU. HE WENT OUT OF HIS WAY TO ENSURE I WAS CAUGHT."] One has to wonder what kind of hell Aleister went through to catch Gwahacheol. He did hold onto his word on getting a secret weapon against Celia here. Gwahacheol kept speaking louder and more-

["THIS. WILL. BE. THE PREFERABLE OUTCOME FOR BOTH OF US."] This giant machine was seen as a hero of BrinWright for a reason. Regardless of its more alien thinking, it at least took care of other people. And truthfully? Gwahacheol is curious of Celias true power without any limitations of-

bern Just unwinding a bit so Aleister stuff will be done tomorrow. Just want to do some less heavier stuff. At least in terms of action.

["....THIS.... IS... HOW... BRINWRIGHTS WAR ENDED...."] Seems Gwahacheol did get hit bad by that Earthquake... And it is shaking a bit. It's almost like it intentionally took it. But the machine-like science deity began to speak... ["BUT IT IS... ALSO HOW IT BEGAN. BRUTE FORCING. IS THIS...-

"Tch... No human is supposed to have this much power. Even if you're a Darklighter, it still doesn't count." One has to wonder what'd happen if Reina had Celias capabilities here. Reina had her moms empathy while Celia seems to have her fathers ambitions. At this rate, something or someone-

"...Looks like you certainly got a lot from me than your Mom." Whether that was meant to be an insult or him pointing it out remains to be seen. "I don't see a god. I see a little girl playing pretend. And I don't intend to die here." It seems like he'll be forced to go all out here. Even-

"This is simply called a business, dear. You'll learn someday what it is like being the CEO of a business. Sometimes you have to use people who betrayed you or you hate to advance your goals and then you throw them out." He's always been pragmatic in this way when it comes to running businesses.-

While Reina likely would have went out on full offense, or at least had a specific strategy in mind that won't have a lot of defensive output, at least Aleister knew to put Protect onto Guzzlord. That fairy weakness is something he took into account. But who knows how long until he can-

bern I'll get to stuff on Aleister and Reina tomorrow. Another "head empty, work exhausted" day.

["BREAKING NEWS IN LUMIOSE CITY: THE DESTRUCTION POKEMON YVELTAL HAS APPEARED ONCE MORE WITHIN LUMIOSE CITY FIGHTING SOME UNKNOWN ALIEN CREATURE! THIS UNKNOWN CREATURE WAS REPORTED TO HAVE BEEN SEEN WITHIN ALOLA TERRITORIES! WE'LL COVER MORE AS THIS STORY IS DEVELOPING!"]

".....Braviary, Sneasler. Keep your eyes onto that girls Pokemon. Don't let her get away either." He'd turn right around. How annoying. He'd quickly throw out a... BEAST BALL!? "Guzzlord. Devour that Yveltal." When did he get a Guzzlord!? Perhaps he has been alternating his roster with-

....And as he said earlier, a lot of electrical drones spotted Celia right now. Aleister may not notice but these drones do. ["PUT DOWN THE YVELTAL AND COME QUIETLY. WE REPEAT. WE REPEAT. PUT DOWN THE YVELTAL AND COME QUIETLY."] 1. Why do they have a thick, Galarina accent? 2. THEY'RE ALL-

That poor limo driver is slowly regaining consciousness though... not the best time to do it, buddy.

bern Early sleep. Slight grocery shopping.

Let's be glad Lavinia likely cut herself off from the family or else that pee comment would have caused indirect psychic damage to her from far away.

bern ...Why is it that this NPC guy talking to Celia right now, I keep headcanoning his voice as Beavis or Butthead-.

["A-All I saw is them turn around South of here... Directly opposite of these boats here."] He is moving his legs a bit as he lets out a bit of a sigh. ["All because I called his daughters he asked names... Heh... La-pee-vi-a. I'm a good one with that one."] What is with this guys sense-

["....W-What are you.... huh?"] /Now/ he is noticing the strange girl next to him!? The poor guy is shaking up as he is shaking his head. ["T-They threw me in here because the guy with the mechanical arm didn't like the insults I gave to his kids. I-I swear he shook me down first! And he-

Good news? The guy is saved right now. Bad news? His feet are still in solid cement as he is shaking a bit. ["I-I am never going to this weird city again! First the Ariados population tried to eat me! Now this!"] Is... this guy just too scared to acknowledge what happened just now!?

The bubbling of the water is getting intense... Is this poor guy going to die? He can't swim out due to the cement on his feet. His vision is fading...

He may be after Reina and looking for his children but don't you DARE refer to them with edgy childish puns on their names. He may be a bad, maniacal father but he's still a father-.

....Don't mind a bunch of guys in suits putting cement in this poor guys legs as they are proceeding to throw him in the Lumiose water. "You know too much. You don't know where my children are. And you called my children Shit and piss. Goodbye now." Annd the grunts threw the guy underwater!

"Tch.... How useless." He's been interrogating everyone around here as of late. For any signs of his children. Any of them. Not just Reina. ["L-Look, man. I know a Rake-la, a Lap-pee-vinia, or a Cel-shit-a at all-"] "...For those painful names, you'll be executed." ["W-Wait. No-"]

Aleister has collaped as he was walking out of a BrinWright Lair... And yet he was holding a Master Ball.... Whatever he got, it had to be worth going in there. There's some grayness in his hair. Whatever happened must have aged him a bit...

He's just been watching from afar, in a hidden base... As he'd let out a sigh. He can tell she has become... something. But he was hoping at least /one/ of those elites saved Elenas urn... If that smashed... Who knows what would have happened. "....We're going to BrinWright. We need to-

"...... Send in the elites. I know it may not work but give me enough time. Get Elenas urn." Seems like he values his wifes urn over anything else as some squad of soldiers are armed right now... He is worried what may happen with Celia here.

bern Question. How long was I off Aleister?

Prepare for trouble, and make it- Huh? That's a different pair's bit? BadJokesLucia has not been stopped from making more Kingchester siblings. Pokemon verse OCs. Dark and heavy themes are possible, and the occasional dirty joke.

"...Whatever that creature is, I am going to capture it. It'd probably prove useful." ...Don't you dare think of catching the unknown, Aleister.

"...." Seems the news copter did send out Reinas message near the hotel as... Aleister smashed a mirror!? "...What has gotten into her!?!"

bern Only way I can see this man be fully redeemed is on the hypothetical if he got shipped. Which is hard because Elena is his motivation.

"...That other professor is the only one I'd be willing to kill if it came down to it." He had no emotional connection to Banyan so.

"Even if they're against me, I would not let my daughters die. I'd defeat them in battle but let them live."

"....And to think that cat was Elenas gift to Celia." They are still technically enemies. But to Aleister, he doesn't want any of his kids, even Reina to die. So seeing how bad Celias condition is, he had to jump in to help. And with how the Hospital service is with the Kingchesters, at least-

"...I know we're enemies. And I know you'd probably want me dead but even if you have caused a headache in my plans, I don't want you to die. Defeat is one thing but dying is another." He'd kneel down to stare at Celia. It seems he is under pressure himself as he pats her head a bit. "...This-

He kind of knew he had to act fast. Thankfully he still has one good arm as Aleister went to quickly dial the number with it. And yet he would go to the hospitals landline. "Celadon Emergencies? You know who the hell this is. One of my children is on the verge of death! If you come here and-

"....Hngh?" He'd get up, blinking a bit. He isn't stupid as he walked over to Celia. To think he saw her as a threat before. But even he felt like he wouldn't forgive himself if she died here and now. "...How long as she been like this?" He can tell he's going to need to get assistance for her..

Good news is he's in the living room, just working on his mechanical arm and staring at Elenas urn. Though even in his twisted mind, he'd be enough to help out an injured child of his. He'd want to stop them from undoing his plans: Not outright kill them.

...This man /is/ in the mansion too. But of course not just his kids are experiencing pain. He's probably not in the mood to conduct his plan given everything going on..

...More like it's a Kantonian holiday so they took the day off. Aleister may be a madman but even he allows mandatory vacations. ...It's a step up from Blackwell.

...Only other person in the mansion is Aleister, who is still trying to repair his arm. He'll have to go out to see what's going on in Galar, though..

He was on the phone, scowling. "... Are you sure it was a Reshiram that attacked the base? Could it have been Celia...?" It says something if his mind went straight to her on this attack. "...No? You didn't spot her there?" He may have to get out of the mansion to see what's up.

...Aleister was still in the family mansion, staring at Elenas urn. "...Heh. I know you must be angry at me, Elena... I feel that is obvious." It seems even he is trying to cool off after everything.

bern This whole scenario makes me feel if Reina were to truly, fully "break", it'd be /bad/ for everyone. Even people who "won" in this conflict still suffer and feel pain. And yet Reina always tries to maintain some level of hope in her heart..

"....Dammit...!" Oh. Even Aleister is at the old mansion. He really isn't hiding at HQ like people thought? Why is that? He did almost smash the family living, trying to stumble in.

His teleporter is turning on once more. He isn't going to be captured here. "You think this is a win on your end. It just means I have to look into how to deal with my children and these miserable allies. Wherever Reina is... I'm getting her." He'd grip onto a smoke grenade, tossing it-

"...I am trying to save you all. I am trying to save everyone. And Reinas blood is the strongest to power Blackwells machines up. You would never walk off for the greater good. And now look at you." That foot is truly on her back more as he glares down. "I know Blackwell was likely going-
