Pokemon Umbral Theatre 30: Go Get Some Snacks...

[Astral Harmony]

Perhaps a car-bo-na-ted so-da!

I guess I'll just use this one to showcase pretty girls as usual.



Do you want her to use Spit Up or would you prefer she use Swallow?



Pretty Lilligant girl, because it's much easier than trying to make Gothitelle hot.



Actually, maybe any Grass type can be easily made hot.

^^ Well, most of them can be set on fire. :3 But yes, hot. ^^

AB oked the post, so it's up. Guess he's still working on his own post though.

Good Lord. I think I'm going to puke.

And for the last time. The plural form of Pokemon is Pokemon. No 's' at the end!

Every time I saw that stupid thing in your post it made me want to take a drillbit to my temple.

[Menarker]

Oh geez, I didn't think it was nearly that bad. At least it gave a valid reason for Renny moving out with Lola later.

What part specifically did you think was the stupid thing?

[Dracorion]

Renny's parents are retarded.

Also, it's a stupid reason.

And the stupid thing I was referring to was all the "pokemons".

[Menarker]

Retarded how? Paranoid perhaps. Over-protective, sure! Retarded, no.

They figured that Renny was mostly going to be an officer fighting trainers and rogue pokemons in general and that PATCA was just "weird" and "unconvential". Now they find out he's effectively fighting terrorists, soldiers ready to kill and futuristic assassins (although the news report was INCORRECT about how the chief died.)

It's pretty like how Lola said the dangers they are facing are much higher than what their job description is supposed to entail.

But further more, they are also upset at Renny because he didn't tell them anything about that. Granted, it was fairly recent, since for almost the entire length of the RP, Renny had always been split up so he'd fight pokebrids and trainers in general. It was that other mission where Faynoc kidnapped Myrie where Renny found out otherwise. And instead of talking with them about it, he goes and pokebrid in secret, goes into a mission which was just bad timing (They are skeptical that Renny is THAT important that the mission would have possibly failed without him, especially since he arrived late) and after the mission is over, he effectively loses a battle against someone who merely lets him lives. They think his way of jumping into battle is going to get himself killed, as if it was some sort of game or that because he feels young, he'd feel he's invincible. (Renny is smarter than that, but he doesn't behave like a typical youth anyhow. His parents are behaving as if he was, which is RATIONAL.)

They are very much justified in feeling the way they do using information that is MOSTLY accurate (even Renny is unaware how the chief really died), for someone their only child who is underaged and is yet jumping into soldier status with some pretty questionable behaviors like leaving for a mission right after surgery. They also were part of the battles first hand in Renny's sidequest, so they know it can get pretty dangerous (blame "refuge in audicity" for why it didn't occur to them since PATCA did save their life and all while being "silly about it" like stripping in combat.)

Moving out is a bit much, but frankly, they didn't expect Honmyr to be as dangerous/violent as it turns out to be. Too bad they don't know that the circumstances in Honmyr are so dire that if it succeeds, it'll probably effect them no matter where they go.

So really, you have to explain why you feel they were being retarded. Because this is the way many parents behave. They are GOOD parents, but parents of a major protagonist (which by nature has them do unrational behaviors for the sake of love or justice or whatnot!). And from what I see, you only think they are retarded because you are using information you have access to as a player (practically everything) when I'm writing them out as if they are responding to what they actually know as actual NPCs (which isn't much!).

Basically they are RATIONAL but NOT CORRECT.

[Dracorion]

Well, you'd think they might've realized things were really dangerous when said terrorists tried to assassinate them in their home.

Also, letting their underage son take a job as what's pretty much Honmyr's SWAT is downright criminally negligent. Mostly because, trainers or no, Renny would be fighting at least cutthroat criminals.

The retarded part is how they waited until now to freak out, when, again, the terrorists came to their freaking house.

[Menarker]

Well, more like vengeful cultists, but yeah whatever.
Anyhow, they were marginally fine with him fighting trainers, cutthroat or not. (Trainer family and they were confident that Renny was very good) But now, put in guns and such to the mix and that kinda shakes them up a bit. (Imagine if they came from a place similar to the video games where guns aren't even referenced never mind used, but is substituted with pokemon battles.)

They were on the winning side of that conflict which was predicted in advance and the battle was basically a straight forward mass pokemon battle. And without a single loss on their side.

Also keep in mind, they saw in the news Renny fighting Sexy with only his pokemons as his supporters. Not a very reassuring sight to see your child is fighting alone.

Well, like I said. Pretty rational behavior overall (despite a very generous vote of confidence before). But they ARE shaken up about the death thing. Before, it was pretty much a flawless victory. A death report in the same situation involved with their son that didn't get resolved with a victory... yeah, not so confident in PATCA anymore. They had just moved to Honmyr fairly "recently". They didn't really want to move before, but now with the vote of confidence gone... yeah.

[Dracorion]

Hey now.

Liz was totally there.

[Menarker]

One supporter is barely much better. :3
And this supporter came after Renny did that all fighting.

Mind you, this isn't a fault of hers or anyone. Renny was responding "heroically" to the call from Pierce. Which means a great deal of risk and willing to discard a bit of rationalism (they were all already exhausted from the mission.)

They don't really see the heroism from that situation, but rather the risk and seemingly rash behavior. Or rather, they don't want to hear that Renny is doing "heroic" stuff. What he's doing normally for a living is already heroic. Now it just going overboard.
