Hey! This is back! Yay! So a Pachirisu had somehow gotten Candy to Vanilla huh? Hmm. Interesting. But I liked the filler episode! Fights! More mysteries! More Candy! And more broken bones! xD Good job as always.

It'll all make sense (hopefully) in a few episodes' time 😉 Now I'll have to remember Vanilla gots a broken arm. This folks is why you should get the fucc out when you just know you gun lose a fight.

She'd lose more often if ppl in Pokémon games worked in large groups lul she's fast and knocks out her enemies before they fully understand what going on, but yaw can't do that if there's 6 enemies like that lul

[SilverAngelus 926]

Yay Vanilla's run is back! ^^

 

I wonder about this "unaccounted for" thing. Something about a white ghost? 

 

Edit: Also, wasn't Vanilla wearing a white robe when she left the Pokemon Center?

Yes she's still wearing it, because her dress is in laundry (now that you mention it, she might look like the cultists, and I might've worked that in if the cultists' robes weren't more like a cream color lol)

Hold on a second... When Candy is in the story, is it just another person or is that you technically? o.O And wow it's been a while since I've been on here. Haha.

Interestingly I was just formatting a new chapter wow

Hmm that's actually a difficult question, because there are just so many "me". Irl with frens, irl with coworkers, online persona here, online persona elsewhere, etc. I'd say this Candy is more like online persona in Reborn with extra bubbliness and less pessimism lol

Lol. Honestly, I saw that you were on this topic and decided to visit it since it's been a few weeks. xD And ahh. I can dig that. It'd be interesting to see a run of like you in Reborn and how you'd usually react in certain situations. Although, I know that prob won't be happening anytime soon. Haha.

From Everland to Reborn ~ Episode 38

We ran into another obstacle soon after our successful infiltration of… well whatever this place, with its gaudy walls and pillars, could be called.

Candy, who had but seconds ago been running with enthusiasm had now positioned herself against a wall on the corner of this ante foyer and the main hall, probably to take a glance at the possible guards. She signaled me over with a hand wave, and I walked over to her side.

“What is it? Is someone coming?” I whispered.

“No, but the place is awfully quiet, and I can’t see anyone around,” she whispered back. “I sense a trap. We should head out and plot something.”

“There’s nothing to plot. You know my only plan is to break through enemies with sheer force.”

“Vanilla, you are still weak from the beating you got hours ago. One session of Heal Pulse isn’t going to perform miracles.”

“Well then,” I acquiesced, and released all six of my current party. I placed an index finger on my lips to prevent them from making noise.

“What are you doing?” Candy reproached.

“Simple. I’ll borrow my team’s strength. Will you be coming with me, Nilla?”

The little firefly looked at Candy and me with quick glances, and made a buzzing noise as she glued herself to my arm.

“Vanilla wait,” I heard Candy said, but I was already into the main hall.

 

I don’t know what triggered it, but an alarm went off and resounded in the whole place. People in yellowish white robes came rushing in from all three sides, ten or twenty of them on each side. Who would have thought that a deserted place like this would have so many people? When I tried to retreat, Candy was no longer where I’d left her, and instead a group of half a dozen stoutlands came walking, effectively blocking the exit.

When my team and I had taken out around half of the robed men, women and dogs, we were met with still more backups. I had walked into a toy factory that produced infinite replicas of these robed people.

Unsurprisingly, neither my team or Nilla could tank everything, and I was left without active pokemon. I called back all six of my pokemon to their pokeballs, and used the one max revive I had on Nilla. The firefly woke up, but there was nothing to be done.

We became surrounded by the hundreds of expressionless people, and four of them managed to suppress me and tie my hands behind my back. That act brought back memories of a certain idiot who still roamed around these lands.

“Well done. May the Lord’s blessing be bestowed upon all of you for capturing the rowdy trespasser,” I heard an all too familiar voice say as he made his way through the crowd. It was, of course, the blind follower of Arceus.

Elias stopped in front of me. For whatever silly reason, he was wearing sunglasses indoors.

“You are wearing the wrong robes,” he said, pointing at my Pokemon Center clothe. “However, converting into our faith would be much too late for your salvation, in your case.”

“Like I would ever join a religious of maniacs,” I spat on the ground. “You captured a bystander along with your supposed daughter. I have only come to retrieve her.”

Elias raised an eyebrow.

“Don’t listen to her, El. She might try to sabotage Luna’s sacred ritual,” another voice said, and soon after Bennett appeared, wearing the same dull robes as the rest.

“Bennett? I thought being a lepidopterist meant you had an intelligent mind, but I see I was mistaken,” I said.

“Do not say a word. I don’t want to hear pointless garbage from a dumb trespasser,” Bennett told me and then turned to Elias. “You know her, El. She is a sinner and therefore a liar. Never trust a word she says.”

“Indeed, thank you for your counsel, Bennett, though I would have reached the same conclusion myself,” Elias nodded. “Fellow brothers, take them to a cell. I will deal with her after the ritual.”

Thus, with that enigmatic sentence and smile, Nilla and I were taken to a cell downstairs.

 

I sat down on the floor, unsure of what to do next. I had to come up with a way to escape this cell as soon as possible, before the ritual could be over and the religious nut could come down here. Whatever he was planning for me could not be pleasant.

I healed my pokemon with the revives I had, and as soon as they were a little more energized, they jumped on me and Wolfy licked my face.

“Now now, this is no time to be happy. I need your help to escape from here.”

The immediate thought was that my pokemon’s moves combined could help break the cell’s bars, which seemed to be made of regular metal.

I told Anna to heat up the bars, then Elsa to use blizzard on them, Wolfy to send rocks flying onto them, and finally Bambi to charge as quickly as possible with the narrow space we had. Even with all that effort, the bars were not even indented.

“How is that even possible?” I shouted and kicked the damned bars.

“It seems the new prisoner is very noisy,” I heard someone say from the other side of the wall on my right. “I’m trying to read ‘ere, can ya tone it down?”

“Mind your own business. Unlike you, I don’t want to spend my time reading religious junk.”

I heard the person turn a page of a book.

“Well, I don’t think it’s junk. This stuff is hilarious y’know. Makes me wonder what hella special stuff they sniffin’,” the guy sneered. “Anyhow, if ya wanna get outta there, I think I can help ya. I wouldn’t wanna hear ya bumping those pokemon-move-resisting bars for ages.”

With that, the guy slipped his hand between the bars, and sent out a klefki, much like my Key but not shiny.

“My klefki here happened to pick up some sort of master key of the place. Isn’t that hella handy?”

The guy then instructed his pokemon to open my cell and set us free.

“See ya pal,” he said as he returned his klefki into a pokeball.

“By any chance, do you know where I could find two girls who were taken here a little while ago?”

“I heard the guards coming down recently before you, but can’t know for sure it’s those girls ya looking for. I can’t really see much from in here ya know,” shrugged the guy, whom now I could clearly see. “But they went to the other side of the stairs, so ya might wanna inspect the other cells down the hall.”

I nodded and briefly thanked him.

 

“Vanilla! Nilla!” Shelly called with a much louder voice than I thought her capable of using.

Thankfully, the guards had not done anything but place her in the cell as the klefki guy had suggested. However, Luna was nowhere to be seen, which probably meant that she was being prepared for execution or something by her own lunatic father.

“Wait a moment, Shelly. I’ll go ask this guy to lend me his klefki to set you free.”

When that was over and her cell was opened, Shelly ran to me, but stopped before she crashed onto me. Nilla, though, crashed onto Shelly and nuzzled her with way too much energy. The poor girl’s hair became all fluffy from the static.

“I was so scared. I-I didn’t know what t-to do,” the girl wrinkled her forehead.

“It’s all right. Let’s get out of here, shall we?” I turned in place.

Shelly looked down to her feet, and then called at my back.

“Um, they have Luna. Will we, um, go find her?”

“No, I came to help you out, and I have done that. Unfortunately, Luna will be heavily guarded by damned cultists again, so we can’t run the risk of being captured once more.”

“B-but Luna…”

“If anyone, Radomus should be the one coming to get her adoptive daughter, not I. If you think of it optimistically, maybe he’s got something planned like he always does.”

Perhaps that last sentence came about a little too sarcastic, because I could tell Shelly wasn’t buying my argument. In any case, she didn’t dare persuade me into looking for Luna, and we silently headed out of the dungeons.

The floor above was full of roaming cultists, and it was a hell of a trouble to slip through some of them without getting noticed. However, even with all the adrenaline building up on our bodies, we did better than I expected. Nilla was a fast flier, as usual, but Shelly needed more help since her legs were visibly trembling. Even then, she carried her own weight for most of the escape, which I will give her credit for.

We were just about to make it out of the floor, when an unhappy chance encounter with a cultist at a corner made all our efforts go to waste.

Or so I thought.

The cultist that spotted us came running to us, and so did another two behind him - one of which was rather short for the average adult.

“Sister, pray help me bring these prisoners back to their cells,” the cultist told the other two.

“With pleasure. Azalea, use Fake Out!”

The short cultist dropped her robe, exposing herself as a mega-lopunny. The rabbit slapped the cultist in the face with both hands, causing the man to drop unconscious at our feet. He must've fainted more from the scare than the move itself.

“Phew, well done escaping out all by yourselves,” Candy said, smiling. “Good job, Azalea. Return.”

The mega-lopunny hopped with satisfaction and returned to her pokeball.

“Candy? What even. I should’ve known you would do something like this.”

“Did you know that these robes are sold in 7th street for cheap? I would have bought one for you, but I guessed you wouldn’t wear it,” Candy giggled and pushed the robe that her lopunny had been wearing onto Shelly. “But I think you should wear this, so we can look like two cultists taking a prisoner for a walk.”

Shelly was confused.

“Champion Candy? From t-the Hoenn Region?” she stuttered.

“Ex-champion, and now breeder leader in Obsidia Ward!” Candy placed a hand on her forehead as a random salute. “But the questions can wait right? We should go help that child upstairs. I don’t know but she was tied to a large table with chains!”

Shelly gasped.

“That’s p-probably…”

“Luna. I guess I can’t ever do anything without you twisting my plans, can I?” I threw shade at my cousin, who just laughed it off.

“Ah, the tsundere as always,” she said and pressed her index finger on my nose. “But I know you love me for twisting your plans too. Now, let’s go on an adventure, comrades!”

 

As simple as Candy’s plan of disguising Shelly as herself as cultists was, it proved pretty effective. No one suspected us when they saw us, which was upsetting even though I should have been plainly relieved for their incompetence. It just proved to me once more how blind these religious followers were, and even though I hated to admit it, I pitied them.

I pitied them, and hated Elias even more.

After a few wrong turns with no adverse consequences, we made it to the center of the hall, where we found Luna in chains like Candy had told us.

However, Elias, Luna and Bennett weren’t the only familiar faces in the ritual.

“I expected you would not let our ceremony go on in peace,” Elias grumbled. “But you will not interfere. We have your friend with us, and even the slightest move from you will result in his demise.”

Bennett took a step forward, together with Cain tied up.

“Ugh, if you’re going to have me tied up, at least ask for my safe word,” said Cain, who could always humor us in any situation.

“Please stop talking like that,” Bennett said.

“I’m so not taking orders from you. I mean, what is your hair even doing?”

“My time is better spent on studies than perme, thank you.”

“Enough. Do not desecrate this holy place and ritual with your indecorous babbling,” El demanded.

“Sorry sir,” Bennett bowed his head, but shot a disapproving look to Cain.

“Now, let us proceed,” Elias said and opened his arms wide. “Luna, once and for all, we shall cleanse your mind of the taint that is the swine Radomus. You will remember me as your true father. Luna, my daughter, return to the light!”

With that cue, regardless of Luna’s objections, the other cultists along with Bennett started chanting a bunch of foreign language words.

“Let the Lord Arceus fill your soul and your mind.”

“I think that’s about enough of that,” said a male voice I recognized. “Gardevoir?”

Everyone was confused, save for the two who had planned all this out.

“Lights! Camera! Drama~”

Gardevoir appeared out of thin air, and started teleporting all of the cultists, save for Candy and Shelly, who had their hoods off, and the one cultist who approached Elias and grabbed both of his hands. Unfortunately Gardevoir did not make Bennett disappear, for she greeted him as though he were an old acquaintance, and only made him daze a moment to release his grip from Cain.

“Gardevoir, how could you? After all that time we spent living with my mom?”

“Hm? Oh I suppose you lived there too,” Gardevoir shrugged. “I was only there for Luna, of course. You were always shut up in your room. How rude!”

While Gardevoir and Bennett chit-chatted, and Elias tried to resist Radomus’ grip, Cain, Shelly, Candy and I helped Luna to be unchained and get off the high pedestal.

“Thank you, everyone,” Luna whispered.

However, at that moment, Elias slipped through Radomus’ hands and pulled Luna’s emerald brooch from her collar.

“Give that back!” Luna shrieked. “That was a gift from my father!”

“I am your father, little ignorant girl. Now I am taking back what belonged to me in the first place,” Elias shook his head as he slipped the brooch into his pocket.

When the majority stopped talking, only Gardevoir and Bennett’s conversation remained, filling the air with an extra layer of awkwardness. I remembered Bennett’s attitude when he saw me before our status being confirmed as enemies, and later when he had spoken of Luna in the Voclain mansion. For once I could understand why Luna fled Spinel, though I could never get why out of all people, she had to knock on Radomus’ door.

Radomus coughed.

“That’s enough, Gardevoir. No need to torment the poor boy, for he is confused enough already. He must be, if he’s siding with with someone like Elias.”

“Excuse you, I do the Lord’s work,” Elias responded.

“Yes, and I just want what’s best for Luna,” Bennett agreed.

“Oh well, then chain her right up!” Gardevoir rolled her eyes. “Are you kidding?”

Radomus and Gardevoir walked over to join the rest of us. I guessed we would be leaving by teleportation, but Radomus took one last look at Bennett.

“Consider what is truly best for Luna. Ask yourself, is blood a stronger tie of family than those who care for her?”

Everyone held hands, and Gardevoir allowed us to escape the place in the blink of an eye.

 

VANILLA RATES: REBORN CHARACTERS

Spoiler

• El (-1): -2/10 he has taken advantage of easily brainwashed people to follow his bullshit cult
• Bennett (-1): 2/10 what on earth is he thinking, joining this cult sponsored by the enemy?
• Shelly (+1): 7/10 she was in better shape than expected when I found her, and she didn't pull a leg while escaping
• Radomus (+1): 2/10 he is dislikeable but I was impressed that he did come to save Luna after all
• Gossip Gardevoir (+1): 5/10 it was remarkable that she tried to slap some sense into Bennett's brain

Aww. I was expecting something when Gardevoir was going on on Bennett. Dx Ohh well. IT'S BEEN SOOOO LOOOOONG! But, it was a good Episode. You just keep getting better and better. Can't wait for the next 1.

Poor Shelly  

I hope Vanilla and Charlotte help her overcome her social anxiety... 

I wonder what she really wanted to say when she looked disappointed about something.

So this is like your 2-month-old wonder which I now realized I can answer lol I was looking over Shelly's dialogue because I'm changing it to a more pleasant shade of lilac

Anyhow, if you recall, in Episode 30, Shelly wanted to say something to Vanilla who was leaving Tanzan Cove. Charlotte looked over her from the window, but Shelly ended up not saying what she meant to say... and Vanilla left with Nilla.

What she had meant to say was "Can I come with you?" At that point, she was in the process of getting used to Vanilla- she looked up to her as a dependable figure but at the same time feared her for her straight-forwardness and aggression.

Now, Shelly ended up making up her mind and joined Vanilla in Vanhanen Castle, only to be taken hostage by El and his cult rip

Hmm I wonder what could be that you expected  If you are planning to write it on either the James run or Awesome adventure run, don't tell me so I can be pleasantly surprised~ hehe And sowwy, this was a rather difficult episode for me to write because I wasn't sure what to do with Candy and Shelly, and how to make it an interesting read since nothing really happens while you go beating cultists up... but I can't skip over the process of escaping, because that'd make it seem wae too easy lol

I basically meant when Gardevoir said that Bennett was in his room... "thinking" about Luna. Like I was expecting Vanilla to look at him in disgust hearing that or something. Idk. So is Candy staying for a while or is she leaving in the next Episode?

Oooh I don't think Vanilla would have thought it weird for him to be thinking about Luna because 1. Luna isn't like Candy, whom Vanilla actually is partial to, and 2. It doesn't seem weird for boys his age to think of the girl he likes. El reacted like "hope that isn't true for your sake" because he's a holy man, but Vanilla isn't like that lol

[Corso 165]

So... it seems Candy has a Mega Lopunny CHEATER I'M GOING TO TELL AME!!1!1!!1!!11

Why is the Stoutland in the middle a super saiyan?

And Bennett is great as always

[seki108 1226]

I just realized I didn't read the the last chapter, so I had two to catch up on.   

 

Very good use of an original character if I do say so myself.  I never considered that being in good graces with one of the gangs is the main reason you might have been tolerated in 7th street.....mostly,  but it makes sense in hindsight.   I'll admit that I forgot about in-story Candy's backstory, so her awesomeness came as good surprise/refresher  but don't get too swelled of a head @Candy  lol 

 

Still, I welcome surprises, so keep them coming.

Corso pls Candy is ex-Hoenn Champion (ironic because I never beat Hoenn league lul) so she got her mega ring and stone from Hoenn lul

i thought a shiny stoutland would give a touch of difference in a pool of robed replicas. Shinies in Reborn aren't uncommon anyway~

Ooo I was afraid the last two episodes would feel disjuncted because there was about two weeks of gap lol

i feel you don't need to belong to a gang, since iirc Candy doesn't belong to one, but it would help in case of Vanilla because she's always picking fights. Candy is welcomed in 7th street because she is kind to everyone and doesn't go punching ppl just because they belittle her

And I forgot about the woman there looking for the Oddishweed, who was just an out of place civilian that seemed excited at the prospect of going back.  Wasn't really thinking when I typed that this morning.   

[SilverAngelus 926]

Candy sama! Vanilla's saga returns! [insert tears of joy here]

 

“Give that back!” Luna shrieked. “That was a gift from my father!”

“I am your father, you ignorant little girl!

Lol

I believe Candy is allowed in Seventh Street without a gang due to a matter of respect. In Reborn’s alleyways, where strength rules, you don’t mess with an ex-champion who has finically backing from her buissness(also a way to maintain strength). They simply let Candy in as a matter of respect and fear in my opinion. Not that they should fear such a cheerful person ofc.

It's a secret (dunno yet if I'll be revealing her team) but if you recall she has Daisy the leavanny and Lily the florges.

Whether or not you already know, Pikachu the Pachirisu is alive.

 

Evidence: (In the story)

 

●I thought since Pikachu's death that it didn't actually die, because Vanilla didn't check whether it was breathing or not. And she confirmed (indirectly) that Pikachu didn't die by, if you guys remember, one, important thing someone said: "a Pachirisu who's fur color was changing." 

 

●Shelly had told Vanilla that Pachirisu's fur color would change for some time, so... the 'someone' might have met the Pachirisu when its fur color was changing back.

 

●Also, when Vanilla went to Pachirisu's/Pikachu's grave, she noticed a shadow (though it could've been a Mimikyu) near the grave.

 

●If you guys think about it being buried, well... We never really saw Pikachu the Pachirisu's moveset. Thus, it could know the move used for digging, dig.

Hmm good attention to detail and analysis~ only time shall tell what is the truth

[Lost Swordsman 22]

Yeah,  I sometimes end up doing that.

 

I am asking for my money back in advance if I am incorrect.
