[PKMN FULL] Pokemon: The Way of the Stormsong (IC)

[Fact Checking Gardevoir]

Hearing the Eevee in red's words, Moonblast turned and raised her now empty bottle to greet the young newcomer with a subdued but lively tone :

"Ahoy, ship's boy! Are ye prepared for a journey of a thousand secrets ?"

While Lucky was listening to the sparkly Sylveon's song, the Eevee who led him here spoke up:

"Ah, howdy, I'm Clover, your friendly neighborhood red mage."

"Hello! I'm Lucky, good to meet you!" Lucky responded with a bright smile.

"And speaking of friends, this Gardevoir here is Captain Moonblast."

Lucky glances over to where Clover was pointing and spies the Captain enjoying the Sylveon's song as well. Was this the pirate that the Quaquaval mentioned earlier? Lucky was excited at the thought of meeting a real pirate!

"That Sylveon over there is Aine. She came here all the way from Ardamore."

Lucky shook his head, snapping out of his thoughts about pirates on the high seas, to then look back to the singing Sylveon.
"Aine, Aine the singing Sylveon! Got it!" He says smiling. "Her song is really nice!"
As Lucky begins to listen to Aine's performance once more, the (pirate?) Captain from before speaks to him next:

"Ahoy, ship's boy! Are ye prepared for a journey of a thousand secrets?"

"Ah! Hel-er, ahoy there, Captain! I sure am, and I want to find them all! Oh, and I'm Lucky, by the way. Are you a real pirate?!" He asks excitedly.

Her voice still subdued not to disturb the singing Sylveon and those listening to her, the pirate Gardevoir moved closer to the excited Eevee :
"Indeed! For many years, I've sailed the seas, explored unknown isles, unearthed treasures, braved untold perils, and savored Lemonade beneath the gleaming moon, aboard the Bone Rush! ... I do long for me ship and me crew, but alas, our paths diverged..."

Moonblast's downcast expression faded as quickly as it had come.
"Yet here's to hopin' for the birth of a new, enduring friendship we'll forge in this grand adventure ahead!"

Menta arrived in the common room, being extra careful not to disturb the performance in progress. She may have missed part of the show, but the shiny Sylveon clearly had real talent--and a knack for telling a good story. Even though she missed the start of this performance, she hoped to hear many more in full on this adventure.

Clover, Oscurala inn

Yeah, Lucky's bright smile was so infectious that it made Clover smile too. The smile only got wider when Moonblast regaled the Eevee boys with a brief tale of her pirate days. Well! It seemed like her pirate getup was more than just for show. She did have her own pirate tales to back it up, though it could be a tale for either now or another time depending on the boys' interests.

Soon enough, Clover spied the tour guide (?) kitty while listening to Moonblast's rambling. "And the Sprigatito who just came in is Menta. She's basically our tour guide," the Eevee in red said. With the introductions over, he went back to enjoying Aine's song -- which was now at its climax.

By now, Aine was reaching the climax of the song--the battle with the Ice Dragon King. Memories of the battle and the pain she endured caused tears to well up in her eyes as she remembered the cold blasts, but she powered through the tears anyway, singing of how she and her comrades had braved the cold and pain themselves.

As the young Eevee boy listened to the Captain's tale of piracy and adventures, he found himself imagining going on a great jouney on the high seas, getting to battle with other treasure hunters, and seeing spectacular sights!... If only he didn't have a crippling fear of deep water from the time he almost drowned...

"I'm sorry that you and your crew parted ways, Captain... I hope you are able to find an- Ah!" Lucky catches on that he might be speaking a bit too excitedly for the room, so he lowers his voice a bit.
"I hope you can find an even better crew someday, Captain. I would join you if I could, but the thing is... I'm... Kinda afraid of deep water..." Lucky says while lowering his head in embarrassment. But before he could feel too sad about it, Clover spoke up and pointed out another new face entering the room.

"And the Sprigatito who just came in is Menta. She's basically our tour guide."

"Menta the guide, got it!" Lucky said with a nod, forgetting about the volume of excitement in his voice once again.

As the young Eevee mentioned being afraid of deep water, Moonblast hesitated. Unsure of what she could say to that, she reported her attention on the Sprigatito introduced by Clover. With a smile, she waved to the Grass type Pokémon.

"Good evening milady." Menta acknowledged the Gardevoir. "Even though you once sailed the sea, what spurs you to walk the Way? The townsfolk are in an uproar that a pirate now walks the Way." If she was going to find out the beautiful Gardevoir's motivation, it was best to get the info direct from the Ponyta's mouth, and put all the rumors to rest.
