[Astral Harmony]

Crimson Wounds, Chapter I: Rain Dyed In Red

Battle Party Character Cast

Megumi Yamakami ~ Irene Crosswald, 19 years old, before she changed her name and not long before she first met Vladier Burkmont. Despite Megumi's incredible future, her childhood and young adulthood were both quite uneventful and filled with days of nothing but training, although Megumi loved honing her body as much then as Irene loves honing it in the present day. Her fathomless talents in battle stem from the skills passed down by her ninja master of a father Yuu, her samurai-slash-pirate-slash-barbarian of a mother Haruno. Megumi wields the Sovereign Dawn, a daikatana with a whopping three-meter long blade.

Yayoi Kosakura ~ Megumi's closest and most loyal friend. She serves as a messenger, scout, spy and interrogator for the government, though before the First Successionary War, her talents came to be of little use to the emperor. She has a really embarrassing secret and Megumi is the only one who knows of it. As Megumi continued to keep Yayoi's secret without demanding any sort of compensation, Yayoi's friendship with Megumi became unquestionable. Yayoi wields six chakrams that have been honed to a killing edge, though to this day our story begins she has never used them against a living target with an intent to kill.

Shirou Shirogane ~ Another of Megumi's close friends, Shirou is an expert of bushido but has always preferred to settle violent issues with talking... and then with his incomparable swordsmanship should that eventually and inevitably fail. Despite his skills, he lacks the warrior mentality that Megumi and so many others possess, and will absolutely refuse to kill a man or a Pokemon. Knowing this, Megumi and Yayoi both have a few Union Techniques with him in which Shirou focuses on the setup of enemies so that one or both of the girls can put them to death more easily, their most common one being the Red Moon Reaver Alpha and Bravo variants. Shirou seems to be into cougars, and has had a crush on Megumi's mother Haruno since the day he met her.

Marta Kerensky ~ A major in the Republican Front, Marta trains her body near-constantly, and is one of the most dedicated and motivated fighters you can find on the battlefield. Her love of heavy firearms and ordinance is unquestionable, and prefers heavy machineguns and rockets. She believes in Matthew Andricksen and Vladier Burkmont and thus selflessly pledges her body and soul to the conflicts ahead.

Vladier Burkmont ~ A highly decorated colonel in the Republican Front and a veteran of wars far and wide, Vladier is devoted to achieving great honor and glory for himself and those who swear loyalty to him. In keeping with his own desires, Vlad has worked tirelessly to improve himself all across the board, having keen knowledge of Honmyr's terrain, mastering the native language, and forging his body to near perfection, a far cry from how he is in the present day. He is most notable for how fun he is to tease and his general awkwardness around women.

And now, our tale of tragedy and war begins...

BGM: "Hopeless Resolution" by Valkyrie Profile OST

*A young, ravishing kunoichi and her handsome, blue-armored father sprint through the nearby forest at high speed, rain blasting at their exhausted bodies.*
- Megumi: "Dad, there!"
- Yuu: "Those two are yours. Remember your training."

*Megumi and her father Yuu are quick to gain ground on and dispatch the five armored warriors who were apparently searching through the forest at random.*

- Megumi: "I recognize those insignias. These men used to work for mom."
- Yuu: "They're just rent-a-ronin now."
- Megumi: "Rent-a-ronin?"
- Yuu: "After your mother's rampage across the southern strip of ocean ended finally, these men who served her loyally had nothing to do. They can't farm, they can't even fish. The only marketable skill they have is that they can sorta swing a katana without looking like an idiot."
- Megumi: "What the hell is our empire coming to? Wait, what the hell is going on, period? You told me to gear up and then we started running to the northwest. Did something happen at the castle or-?"
- Yuu: "You know Sakuya-Hime, right?"
- Megumi: "Barely, which is weird, considering I'm such good friends with Kaguya-Hime."
- Yuu: "Well, Sakuya's been hobnobbing it up with the aristocracy and the council, doing what she can to solidify her grip on the throne. However, Emperor Naoto's decision is final no matter how unpopular Sakuya can make it, so she's conducting a kind of royal serial killing effort."
- Megumi: "What's that got to do with us? Oh, wait, are we helping Kaguya?"
- Tetsuzu: "Yes, you are. Or, at least that's what we'll say as your father's head rolls into the basket and you're used as a human urinal."

*The BGM stop as Megumi and Yuu turn around to find Tetsuzu, the Ebony Tortoise General of the Four Great Generals, lumbering up from ahead of them with soldiers and militarized Pokemon on his flanks.*

- Tetsuzu: "Evening, you two. Out for some late night training in the middle of the night? One would think you'd postpone something like that until the rain subsides, at least."
- Megumi: "One might also think that the four legendary Great Generals were above bribery."
- Tetsuzu: "And hello to you too as well there, Megu-chan. I must say you look absolutely delectible when soaked completely through."
- Megumi: "And I must say your multiple chins look even more pronounced with all these stark shadows. So tell us, Tetsuzu; how has Sakuya come to own your soul?"
- Tetsuzu: "She doesn't. Unlike you two and your lovely Haruno, I don't swear loyalty to any one fool, especially not a woman. Not when I can make more money and have more fun playing the field."
- Yuu: "We don't have time for you, Tetsuzu. Either step aside or be cut down. Your decision."
- Tetsuzu: "Hmm... tough choice. How about option C? It's the one where I kill you and bring your head on a silver platter to Sakuya. And if I'm lucky enough, she'll allow Megumi to live so that I may have a fresh young plaything for my harem. Wouldn't that be wonderful?"
- Megumi: "I can't believe a monster like you would have the title of the Ebony Tortoise General. You disgrace your empire and your family. A shame, really. I always respected your sister."
- Yuu: "Well, my daughter? Shall we teach this illmannered brute respect?"
- Megumi: "Too late for teaching this old bastard new tricks, dad. Best to put this rapid dog to the blade before it infects others."

BGM: "Heroic Battle" by Digital Devil Saga 2 OST

*The battle commenses. Despite having far superior numbers, the thugs and the allied Pokemon aren't able to do much damage to the elite duo of father and daughter, and they are easily dispatched in great rushes of blood despite this being Megumi's first real battle. Tetsuzu, however, is far more capable of standing his ground.*

- Megumi: "More of Haruno's old friends. And this is when she probably needed them the most."
- Yuu: "Desire drives men to do the unthinkable, my daughter. I imagine that after Haruno ended her rampage, these men had a bad reputation and couldn't find decent work."
- Megumi: "That must be hard, but unfortunately I cannot stay my blade for their sake."
- Yuu: "That is perfectly sufficient. Dying by your blade could only be the most honorable death any of these bastards can hope for anymore."
- Tetsuzu: "You men are pathetic. Are those swords you carry with you merely for show? Forget sparing Megumi, just kill the both of them! Now!"

*More trading of blows. Tetsuzu is easily enough of a match for one warrior, but the two warriors he is dealing with are an overwhelming challenge. If it wasn't for the items he was holding and those being used by others, he probably would be dead by now. Plus, there are just too many reinforcements.*

- Megumi: "Dad? How many more clotting capsules do we have left?"

*The BGM ends with an interrupting flash of lightning.*

- Yuu: "I think it's about time."
- Megumi: "Huh?"
- Yuu: "Megumi, you will listen carefully and obey immediately. Get lost."
- Megumi: "What? Wait! C'mon dad, we got this!"
- Yuu: "Even if we do, we'll be surrounded by the regular army in just a few more minutes, much less time than we're going to need to decide this fight. As your father, I order you to escape."
- Megumi: "There's been more than enough blood spilled on the grass tonight, dad. Yours isn't joining theirs."

*Yuu aims his next arrow at Megumi.*

- Megumi: "And once again you pull this shit. Fine, I'm gone, but if I don't see you again, I'll never forgive you!"

*Megumi spares one last look at the relatively healthy Tetsuzu and his reinforcements, then flees.*

- Tetsuzu: "All of you chase her. Now!"
- Rent-A-Ronin: "But boss, how about you? The princess will be angry if we let that girl escape, sure, but if we don't kill Yuu-!"
- Tetsuzu: "I can handle this."
- Rent-A-Ronin: "But-!"
- Tetsuzu: "I. Can. Handle. This."
- Rent-A-Ronin: "... Right, boss. Everyone, after the girl!"

*After the thugs and allied Pokemon left, Tetsuzu reached within his armor and produced a clotting capsule. Then he simply tossed it to Yuu. As Yuu looked at the capsule, Tetsuzu produced the rest of his capsules, consumed one, then dropped the rest negligently on the forest floor. Yuu, being a veteran warrior himself, instantly knew what this meant. Two warriors, no health items between them, in a duel to the death.*

- Yuu: "What's this? A duel of honor, between warriors? How uncharacteristic of you, Tetsuzu."
- Tetsuzu: "Yes, well, let's just say I've got something to prove in this fight."
- Yuu: "Do tell."
- Tetsuzu: "Even though no one would ever dare compare us four generals to our faces, I know what they say behind my back. What they whisper. I'm the inferior one. Inferior to you. Inferior to your wife. Inferior even to Kaguya. The weakest of all the generals. But that all changes tonight."
- Yuu: "Hmph. Well, if you truly wish to fight and prove your status as a warrior, then I would be a complete asshole if I denied you this opportunity."

*Yuu discarded a number of the weapons he knew would be relatively useless against Tetsuzu's up close and personal fighting style, then readied his katana.*

- Yuu: "Step forward, brave warrior! I, Yamakami Yuu, will stand witness to your courage and skill this dismal day."
- Tetsuzu: "Your bloodied corpse with be the perfect testiment of Mamiya Tetsuzu's warrior might! UrrrraaaaaAAAAGH!!"

*Tetsuzu exploded into a full blown charge with the many years of anger he has suppressed all this time.*

BGM: "Must Be Dreaming" by Frou Frou

*Megumi, now all alone, hurries through the forest. A loud noise in the direction she came from causes her to pause and take a look back. There's no physical evidence of what that noise could have been, but-*

- Megumi: "Dad..."

*Smaller, quicker noises alert Megumi that she is no longer alone.*

- Megumi: "Can't you guys just call it a night or something? I just lost my dad, you dicks."

*Megumi readies her Sovereign Sun while multiple thugs and assisting Pokemon block Megumi's flight from the city.*

- Rent-A-Ronin: "There she is! Get her! She's worth an early retirement for all of us!"

*One thug and two Pokemon rush forward to put Megumi down quickly. Megumi's beautiful, bloodied, sad face is the last thing any of them see.*

- Megumi: "You're right. I guess you can call being sliced clean up the middle 'an early retirement'. So, uhh... any more of you slipshot shitheads wanna be the first to step up?"

*And now the group is finally reinforced by regular army samurai and ninja...and their better-trained Pokemon.*

- Megumi: "I am the daughter of Yamakami Yuu the Azure Dragon General and Yamakami Haruno the Crimson Phoenix General and they have painstakingly imparted me with a centuries old legacy of warrior skill honed into a single devastating artform. Step forward, you unworthy bastards, and see how you rank up against Yamakami Megumi!"
- Samurai: "Give it up, traitorous wench. It's over."

*The sounds of steel clashing against steel coming from one specific direction has alerted two more people who find the battle to be unfolding in a very violent fashion.*

- Yayoi: "That's Megu! I knew she'd make it!"
- Shirou: "I don't see her father with her. Well, nevermind that for now. She needs help badly."
- Yayoi: "Just stay here, Shirou. This is a battlefield, and you're only going to be in the way if you can't bring yourself to kill."
- Shirou: "I can't, but I'm sure I can still be useful in this fight."

*Yayoi and Shirou enter the battle from the other side, catching the remaining enemies in a pincer. Shirou uses his wooden sword to setup enemies for Yayoi to more easily execute. In less than a minute, Megumi's life is no longer threatened.*

- Megumi: "Yaya. Shirou. When everything's gone to shit, it's good to know I still have good friends."

*Megumi, overcome with exhaustion, finally falls unconscious. Yayoi rushes forward to assist her.*

- Yayoi: "I've got her. Shirou, can you scout ahead and help us get back to that one place? You have a much better sense of direction."
- Shirou: "Got it. Let's hurry."

*When Megumi recovers, she finds that her wounds have been dressed along with a canteen full of cold, refreshing water. Then, remembering something, she hurries out of what she discovers to be a tent.*

- Yayoi: "Whoa, Megu! Hold it, you're still recovering!"
- Megumi: "Dad! We've gotta rescue dad!"
- Haruno: "Megu, dear, you must calm down."
- Megumi: "Mom, dad was-! ...Dad was-!"

*Megumi's legs falter and she falls forward but an unidentified man in a large military green trenchcoat is there to help her from eating the dirt.*

- ??????: "Take it easy, young lady. Your wounds were much more serious than you must have thought."

*Megumi looks up into the chiseled face of a man she doesn't recognize as being from the empire.*

- Megumi: "...This might just be the blood loss talking, but you're pretty cute."
- ??????: "Ah... right. Now, you should return to your cot and rest. It won't do you any good to be running around. Here, let me help you."

*The unnamed man supports Megumi and helps her back to her bed in the tent.*

- Megumi: "...He's dead, isn't he? My dad has died."
- ??????: "..."
- Megumi: "It wasn't hard to figure it out. He would be right here with me if he was alive at all."
- ??????: "I don't know what to do to possibly console you, so I guess I should start with introductions. You are Megumi Yamakami, yes? Your friends have spoken highly of your skills, though I am sure the mountains of praise they heap about them couldn't possibly do your true abilities justice. My name is Vladier Burkmont."
- Megumi: "I thought so. You're not even from this land, are you?"
- Vladier: "No, I'm not. There's someone else with me that you'll be introduced to later. A woman by the name of Marta Kerensky. Anyways, this may sound very sudden, but would it be too bold of me to ask for your help?"
- Megumi: "I can barely stand on my own feet and you're begging for my assistance?"
- Vladier: "Your mother, your two friends, and the princess Kaguya all speak highly of your talents, though the young man Shirou seems displeased by them."
- Megumi: "He's one of those... y'know, the conscientious objector kind of guys. You've seen his wooden sword, right? It's the only weapon he uses and he absolutely refuses to kill people."
- Vladier: "Perfectly understandable. I would even go as far as to say I'm a little jealous. Unfortunately, I rarely get the choice of letting my opponents live."
- Megumi: "Much respect, Burkmont-san. So who is your opponent this time? Anyone I know?"
- Vladier: "Right to the point, then. I like that. I'll be honest, Miss Yamakami-"
- Megumi: "'Megumi's' fine, sir."
- Vladier: "Of course. And please, just call me Vlad. Or Vladier, if you must. Anyways, my opponent this time is the largest enemy I've ever fought."
- Megumi: "...The Hiroshiho Empire. Your target is the Hiroshiho Empire, isn't it?"
- Vladier: "Your mother did tell me you were particularly insightful, too. I represent several parties who are very interested in... well, do you know what a Heritage Site is?"
- Megumi: "I assume it has something to do with all those ruins?"
- Vladier: "All that and then some. Well, we expect that there are some incredible secrets within those ruins. Technology that is somehow both ancient and yet vastly superior to what we currently possess. Pokemon that you could never see anywhere else. All kinds of mysteries await to be uncovered."
- Megumi: "And the Hiroshiho Empire is in the way."
- Vladier: "Emperor Naoto, while a respectable man, stubbornly refuses to allow us to unearth and explore the Heritage Sites. Unfortunately, a lot of wealthy and influential individuals overseas have decided that an invasion might be the best course of action, and Marta and I have been covertly dispatched to this land of Honmyr to see for certain that all those brave soldiers who will be committed to the resulting war will not be dying for anything insubstantial. In other words, a war is brewing and my efforts will decide if it's really worth it."
- Megumi: "So that's it. That's why you want my help."
- Vladier: "I'm asking a lot, Megumi, I know. You'll be putting your life on the line many times, hunted by the very same empire that you used to call home, and you might not even get to understand why. I know that I could never appropriately compensate you fully for the sacrifices you would be making should you agree to do this. So whether you say yes or no, understand that I will respect your decision either way and not press the issue any further."
- Megumi: "Don't worry, I'm going to help."
- Vladier: "...Perhaps you could think this over a li-"
- Megumi: "For nineteen years, all I've done is train my ass off, Vlad. There's something to be said for the value of strength, but still I have to wonder; just what the fuck is all of my strength for if I never really push it to its limits? Those men I killed as I was fleeing the city was the very first time I ever drew blood from someone. I'm starting to feel that this chain of events is what all that hard work and effort was finally leading up to. So there's not going to be any further arguements, Vlad. Yamakami Megumi is going to war on their asses."
- Vladier: "...Well, I'm certainly not going to deny you what you really feel. Welcome aboard, Megumi, and please get some sleep. We've all got a big journey starting tomorrow."

-----------------------------------------------------

Daisy the Disgruntled Trainer, Act II - Chapter II: Nyonlight City

Daisy Miltower [Warbringer / Shock Trooper] ~ A lover of high-powered handguns and unfiltered cigarettes, Daisy has developed by leaps and bounds in a very short time, showing deft command of her Pokemon despite her hatred of Pokemon and the training thereof while presenting sound tactical solutions to every fight she's been in. Her current objective is a cavern at the summit of Mt Sugaroma, the lair of the legendary Pokemon of Jurich, Belzybrand. In order to reach it, however, she will have to either avoid or defeat anyone who stands in her way, whether it be police, the Chariot Organization, or her own mother Yuzuru.

Bianca [Enforcer & Scout / Pokemon Trainer] ~ From the Pokemon Black and White games, Bianca is visiting Jurich as a favor to Professor Juniper. This research revolves around the Convergence Event, in which massive amounts of evolved and legendary Pokemon are swarming on Honmyr. Her visit to Jurich is in regards to Belzybrand, the only legendary Pokemon that hasn't ventured into Honmyr. Daisy figures that Bianca actually has a kind of 'wants to be bullied' nature to her, and has taken that as a cue to tease Bianca mercilessly.

Mavelyn Mapleseed [Pokemon Hybrid / Enforcer] ~ The mother of Chartreuse, a lover of adventure, and the only Pokebrid left in Jurich after her daughter's flight, Mavelyn longs to return to Honmyr once again, and has joined Daisy just for that purpose. She's had a long-standing crush on Samano, attracted initially by his looks, style and money, but has been developing deeper feelings since. Her three Pokebrid forms are Volcarona, Ninetails and Chandelure.

Ranbuki Seigan [Pokemon Ranger / Enforcer] ~ The older brother of Angelique who doesn't know the difference between loving his sister and "loving" his sister, something that disturbs those who know him. He would take any risk to protect Angelique from harm, but more often than not he ends up doing something stupid and humiliating both himself and his sister. Still, he's an able fighter, and Daisy knows she can count on him for at least that.

Samano Baskart [Destroyer] ~ The richest and most influential man in all of Jurich, but considering how small Jurich is, that isn't saying much. Still, he's wealthy, successful, and a powerful ally on the battlefield. Like Angelique and Ranbuki, he too is a member of the Spiroch Tribe, the native inhabitants of Jurich, but unlike those two has forsaken the traditions and rituals of his tribe to embrace the spirit of capitalism and now owns a branch of hoppin' night clubs called Mirror Shot. He has joined Daisy's group because he sees the warrior spirit of the Spiroch in Daisy, and because he has grown tired of living it up in Jurich. There comes a time for every man to put his life on the line for the sake of something greater.

Dolores Ichijo [Slayer / Enforcer] ~ Behind every good man is a good woman, and behind Samano is an elite ninja maid from Hiroshiho. For helping her parents out of an extensive monetary bind, Dolores has sworn total loyalty until death, and Samano would never ask for anything more than that. She is beautiful, polite, well-mannered, an amazing cook, an astounding mistress of cleaning, and handles all of Samano's paperwork without any signs of irritation or exhaustion. Dolores fights using claws, each blade connected to a chain to allow for the long distance raking of fleshy targets.

Lanana Simburgh [Scout] ~ Works for the Nyonlens Films movie production company, which has recently begun to document Daisy's explosive journey, much to the aforementioned firebrand's disinterest. Lanana's special camera and skill at pinpointing enemy weaknesses is far too good for Daisy to pass up bringing this mocha-skinned Spiroch girl along with her. Well, that and once you've gotten Lanana on your ass, even threats of violence or the actual carrying out of violence isn't enough to get her off of you.

*Daisy, Bianca, Ranbuki, Mavelyn, Samano and Dolores are traveling the lesser-traveled routes to Nyonlight City, the only other major city in Jurich. It's the last piece of human civilization one can find before continuing eastward to Mt Sugaroma.*

- Bianca: "Wait! Please don't leave me!"
- Daisy: "Keep your damn voice down, Anca. We're too close to the road."
- Mavelyn: "She's right, Bianca dear. The police are all over the place. Don't worry, we won't leave you behind."
- Daisy: "Heads up. Looks like we hit a really serious roadblock here."

*The others have a look at Daisy's observation.*

- Samano: "With a checkpoint of that scale, there's no doubt about it. Baby, you're public enemy number one."
- Daisy: "Ha! And my mother told me I'd never amount to nuthin'."
- Samano: "Dolores, get me some information on that blockade, would you?"
- Dolores: "Of course, Master."

*Dolores is there one instant and immediately gone the next.*

- Bianca: "She's so cool."
- Ranbuki: "What will we do, Daisy?"
- Daisy: "Let's just wait. Anca can catch her breath and we can figure out what to do when Dolores returns. But I don't understand. According to what Aunt Irene told me, Chariot is not officially sanctioned within any federal governments across the world. They can't order the police to do shit like this. Maybe the cops have had it in for me for a while."
- Mavelyn: "Maybe they're just really bored. Being a Jurich law official can be one of the most boring jobs in the world."

*After about forty more seconds.*

- Dolores: "Master, I have returned."
- Samano: "Let's hear it, baby."
- Dolores: "Apparently, the only one that the police are searching for is Miss Miltower."
- Mavelyn: "Oh, so we can just enter the city? Alright, take care, Daisy.
- Daisy: "Not that I terribly mind you all abandoning me, but can you possibly have a plan for us meeting at Mt Sugaroma first?"
- Mavelyn: "I'm just kidding, Daisy sweetie. There's no way we'd abandon you, either. But what could we possibly do?"
- Daisy: "Samano, got anyone inside the city who could get me some assistance?"
- Samano: "I have some people who owe me some favors, but what are you thinking about, exactly?"

*Daisy looks thoughtful for several seconds.*

- Daisy: "I can make some miracles happen with a decent makeup kit."
- Samano: "Alright, I think I can pull some strings, but you might have to do something for these people while in the city."
- Daisy: "If it doesn't cost me too much time, I can do that."

*Samano makes a call and, within twenty minutes, hails down a van exiting the city. The van pulls over until it's no longer seen by the police and a Spiroch woman hops out from the driver's seat.*

- Lanana: "Mister Samano Baskart, hanging out in the woods with a bunch of beautiful women? I guess that means it's Wednesday."
- Samano: "There's your target."
- Lanana: "Indeed, it is. Daisy Miltower, correct? I'm Lanana Simburgh, a producer with Nyonlight Films. Samano and I are good friends. Do you think we can be good friends, too?"
- Daisy: "Sure thing. Good t'meet you, Miss Simburgh."
- Lanana: "Mrs Simburgh, but please, just call me Lana."

*Daisy and Lanana shake hands.*

- Daisy: "So, uhh... Nyonlight Films, huh? Does this favor involve a movie of some sorts?"
- Samano: "Sorry, baby, but that's usually the situation when you involve Lana. I'm sure it'll be something quick and unobstructive, though."
- Daisy: "Relax, Samano, I'm not stressing it. So Lana, is there a little makeup studio inside that van of yours?"
- Lanana: "The mobile makeup studio is ready for lights, camera, and action!"
- Daisy: "Excellent. Okay, Bianca, lend me your old clothes and your Pokedex, please."
- Bianca: "Huh? Alright, sure. Just please don't break it."
- Daisy: "Relax, I know what I'm doing. I'll be back in five minutes. No peeking. But if you must peek, no pictures, please."

*Daisy takes Bianca's items and enters the van. And when she steps out...*
- Everyone Else: "Whoa."
- Daisy: "So did I do alright?"
- Bianca: "This is crazy!"
- Mavelyn: "I'll say. You look just like Bianca... with less flattering clothes."
- Bianca: "That's a little hurtful, Mavelyn."
- Lanana: "Even I'm impressed. You don't seem like the kind of girl who takes great pains with her makeup, and yet you managed to copy Bianca's old style perfectly. How?"
- Daisy: "It really helps me to avoid my mom when I don't look like her daughter. One day I convinced her that I was this one douche from my town. Next, Bianca, please say some words at me."
- Bianca: "Huh? What should I say?"
- Daisy: "Perfect, that'll do."

*Daisy holds her throat a bit and coughs several times.*

- Daisy: "Okay, how do I sound?"
- Bianca: "Wow, now you sound just like me too! Even our text color is the same!"
- Samano: "If you've even got the original owner convinced, I doubt those police are gonna see through your disguise."
- Bianca: "This is so cool! It's like I have a twin sister!"
- Daisy: "She seems oddly happy about this, but if she likes it, maybe I can give her more sister treatment later. Anyways, let's get going now. There've been times when I imitated a voice so long that I forgot what my original voice is. When I imitated Chartreuse one time, I ended up speaking like her for almost a week after I was done."

*They rather easily bypass the police checkpoint, although not entirely without incident.*

- Daisy: "Kind of a bold one, wasn't he? Admitting that his ultimate dream is to be in a polygamous marriage with twin sisters."
- Bianca: "You didn't have to egg him on, did you?"
- Daisy: "But he said he was going to pay for all the cigarettes I could smoke! That's true love there, girl."
- Ranbuki: "That's all it takes for you to give up on your real boyfriend?"
- Lanana: "Next stop: Nyonlight Films."

*Daisy was back in her regular clothes inside the studio and was already making demands.*

- Daisy: "I don't want to be the main villain but I want to be the most powerful of them all. And I want to have the sexiest costume you've got."
- Director Simburgh: "Ahh, young Daisy Miltower. I'm glad I got to meet you in person."
- Daisy: "Chop chop, bossman, I ain't got all day to do this. I have a date with destiny."
- Director Simburgh: "Well, to be honest, Miss Miltower, that's exactly what I'd like to discuss with you."
- Daisy: "Huh? Well deal me the deal, yo."
- Director Simburgh: "Alright, since you seem to be in such a hurry, allow me to give you the abridged version of my latest magnum opus. I call it 'Daisy the Disgruntled Trainer'! It uhh... it's a working title."
- Daisy: "So wait, your latest project is to make a movie about me? I plan to no longer be in Jurich in just the next two days."
- Director Simburgh: "Oh, don't you worry, that's perfectly fine. You'll just be taking my wife here with you when you leave."
- Lanana: "Good to be working with you, Daisy."
- Daisy: "I'm not sure that's a good idea, bossman. I mean, what I'm about to do is really dangerous and everything."
- Director Simburgh: "Not a concern, Miss Miltower. My wife is in tiptop physical condition. It actually makes me feel rather inadequate."
- Lanana: "Geez, love, just rub it in, why don't you? So, Daisy, does this mean you're not going to uphold your end of the deal?
- Daisy: "I was just worried about you, Lana. I mean, even I don't know just how dangerous this can get. But very well, I do keep my promises. Welcome aboard, Lana."
- Samano: "Leaving the city should be easy enough, which just leaves us with having to ascend the mountain."
- Ranbuki: "Indeed. Climbing Mt Sugaroma is going to be a challenge. The stronger of us should be fine, but I fear for those of us who aren't as well traveled."
- Daisy: "We'll just have to manage somehow. Hey, director, we've had a rough road. Do you think we can stay here for the night?"
- Director Simburgh: "Sure, it's a day off. Plenty of places to crash. You could even act in a short viral video or two if you want."
- Daisy: "Awesome. Well, everyone, this is the moment of truth. We haven't been together long and who knows where destiny will take us when we reach Honmyr, but I'm counting on each and every one of you tomorrow. Let's breach the mountain and ride one of the fastest flying mounts in all of the Pokemon World, the Legendary Pokemon Belzybrand. Honmyr is on the horizon!"

Astral Harmony: "Kind of a short one, and not a terribly funny one, but I think I did alright. Daisy's mission to get the hell out of Jurich is finally closing in on the climax, where she must battle with her own government and brave the treacherous trails of Mt Sugaroma in order to return to Honmyr, the next great leap in her destiny.
