[Armand is completely conflicted at this. As he heard that mysterious voice inside his head, his first reaction is to ignore it as he doesn't want to be a part of what is happening. It's not only that he doesn't believe all of this, but he fears at whatever is trying to call him might lead him to trouble as it is still curfew hours. Right now, he is still back in his apartment trying to stay there for the whole night.
Well, he was trying to until thanks to a certain student dragging him out instead. But once he learns about his situation, he will slowly realize that if he and the other Apple.NET users are involved in this, then that means his nephew might be in trouble.
With that, he may finally find the reason to go as he finally recover his control of his legs as he quickly heads over to school.]
II. Escaping the Shadows
[Once he sees the whole school change right in front of him, Armand just stares at the changes and the emerging Shadow right in front of him. The rat monsters, the lockers, the whole hallway... He can't just believe all of this anymore.
Unfortunately, he realizes that this is no time to stare as he sees the rats seemingly notices him and quickly rushes in to attack him. Still horrified, Armand quickly runs the other way to escape the rats. Besides, he has no choice as his only 'weapon' he has right now is a taser (mostly for avoiding his would-be murderers) and using it might only stun them for a few seconds.]
No, no, no, nononono...
This can't be happening... This can't be happening!
[More importantly, he wonders where Morty is as he fears for his safety.]
III. (a) Awakening
[Eventually, he finds himself cornered by some rat Shadows. And with his taser completely useless after using it twice, he is completely helpless right now. And with his current situation right now, he is aware of his hopeless situation right now. At least, for Morty's sake, he might as well try to be the bait and get this over it.
But just as Armand gives up on his will to survive, his heart begins to glow as it beats to a fast pace. He tries to ignore it, yet he can't help but feel the growing pain around his body. And then, a voice rings out in his head, telling him to fight back or not only he won't see the truth but to never seen his loved ones ever again.
He did try to give up, but once he thinks about it, surrendering his life to these monsters means hurting his loved ones because of him. No, he can't give up now. Not now, not in this dark place like this!]
"The time is now. I am thou, thou art I! Your mind is trapped, but I can set your soul free! My other self, will you die, or fight back?
Accept me for who I am! Forge this contract by letting go of your fears! Revolt against this world, and TEAR OUT YOUR HEART!"
[So all he has to do to survive is to tear it out? Well, he doesn't want to die now. Not here, not now! And without questioning this, he reaches out into himself and pulls his heart out as he screams in pain.
Just as he feels that his vitals has stopped, a bright light quickly envelops him as his clothes melt into the fire. And as his outfit changes, he slowly starts to remember everything. His real name, his real home, his Pokemon knowledge, and his real memories. Why didn't he forget them? No, how did he got here in the first place?
Unfortunately, he has no time to question all of this as he notices his new blue and black outfit has changed to something similar to his usual lab outfit, except it has blue waistcoat, black shoes, long black gloves with pale yellow tips located each of his fingers, and a bracer with a U-shaped symbol in front of them. But one thing that surprises him is the transformed shadow behind him. A looming masked figure floating behind him wielding a staff, which his appearance looks very similar to a certain Life Pokemon.]
III. Awakening (The Fight)
[Once he gets his bearings back together, he knows standing on the sidelines won't help him answer his questions. In fact, his first move is to try to use his newfound weapons to the test in order to aid the others from stopping the Shadows. Unfortunately, as he always commands his Pokemon to fight as a trainer, he is not exactly the type to learn how to use a sword and a bow and arrow overnight. Because of this, most of his melee and ranged attacks tend to miss. At times like this, he may need someone to help him or teach him how to fight.
However, being a trainer and supporter does have it's advantages as he may approach you while dodging the Shadow's attacks.]
Foras, help them out, will you?
[His Persona complied to his request as he tries to use any buffing spell to aid the Combatants on the battlefield.]
