Amelia was silent for a few seconds before after Nora asked her how she had met Ixy and if she had died. After the pause, the young Dhampir let out a harsh laugh. "No, I didn't die. If I had, it would've been a mercy." She said before her expression softened and she looked rather pensive. "Please understand, I wasn't born human. As well as being a demon, I'm a Dhampir, a half vampire. My mother was human, my father was the vampire. And vampires are less the pleasant people at the best of times.
If you really want to know my story, I'll tell you. But the short version is that I'm more sensitive to sunlight then the rest of my kind and after some event, my father chained me to a rock in the middle of the forest where the sun would always shine on me and I suffered for many days before Ixy found me half dead and almost burnt to a crisp. Needless to say, I accepted her contract when it was offered to me."
Amelia ate her meal in peqace, listening to the various conversations going on around her. The one that brought up the tombs in the desert brought a smile to her face, especially the bit about it being a possible paradise for spirit mediums like herself. She took her time with her meal, enjoying the relaxed atmosphere of the restaurant. When she finished, she paid for her meal before heading towards where she had sensed the ghost-types earlier. As she moved to her destination, a part of her wondered how someplace that had been so hot earlier was now so cold at night. Upon arrival, she took a moment to study the sign that adorned the entrance. This brought a frown to her face but she continued on regardless.
The gardens were indoors, so this brought Amelia out of the cold and into a place that was just the right temperature, causing her to sigh in relief. She moved through the gardens, spotting a few caretakers but otherwise, the place lived up to it's name. There were only bug-types here and the sight of two in particular heightened her suspicious of what Ghost-Type she had sensed. Continuing on, she eventually found what she was looking for and wasn't surprised to see a Shedinja. She smiled at the Ghost/Bug but didn't reach out for it. She didn't know much about this one outside of the fact that it was well out of her league. Even if she befriended it, there was no garentee that Shedinja would follow an inexperienced trainer such as herself.
Seeing as to how she was going to give up on this endeavor, Amelia moved through the garden until she found a bench to sit in, a decent distance from any of the garden's local pokemon. Taking a seat, she brought out her pokeballs and let out her partners, who all let out cries of happiness to be out of the little spherical prisons. "Alright everyone, I'm going to let you all enjoy yourselves. But no bothering the local pokemon or picking any fights yet. Don't wonder too far, especially you Phantump. I don't want anyone talking any of you away." She said, getting cries of acknowledgement from her friends before they began wondering, not going too far and several of them observing the local pokemon from a distance out of curiosity more then anything. Shuppet kept close to Amelia though, who held the shy little ghost-puppet close, watching the others as best she could.
Go to Bug Garden and find Shedinja. Give up on catching it and let partner pokemon wonder the garden after spending all day in their pokeballs. Partner pokemon sticking close to Amelia and only watching the local pokemon.

While in the prison, he befriended a fellow prisoner, Abbe Faria, who educated him in many subjects and told him the location of a hidden treasure, before escaping by taking the place of Abbe Faria's body after their death.

As an Assassin Servant, or a Servant in general, Edmond is rather weak. His legend mentions no feats of strength or agility or magical prowess.

One can convince him to belay with but no amount of persuasion or illusions or obstacles will prevent him from reaching his goal.
Wisdom From Desperation: A Having endured the horrors of Chateau d'If and emerged wiser and more focused then before, Edmond gained the wisdom he needed to execute his plans and overcome his despair and doubt.

Charisma: D Edmond was a charming man and capable of manipulating multiple people or commanding a crew. However, he was not able to lead an army or a country, thus the low ranking in this skill.
Noble Phantasms:
Name: The Monte Christo Mythology, The King of the Cavern Rank: C Type: Anti-Unit Description: A Noble Phantasm with an active and passive component. As an Assassin, the passive component is always active, hiding his true name and stats from anyone who tries to analyze him, giving them false or missing information in place of the truth. It also allows Edmond Dantes to use magical energy as a means to attack.
The active component can only be used if specific conditions have been met. The first condition is the defeat of Edmond or death of his master. The second condition is that he must be aware of who murdered his master in the case of their death but not his own.
Once invoked, Edmond assumes the form of his true class, Avenger, changing his stats and class skills and the nature of his second Noble Phantasm, while this Noble Phantasms passive effects remain in place. While in his Avenger form, he will relentlessly pursue the target of his vengeance until they are slain or Edmond is defeated once again. After he has dealt with his target, if Edmond was the one defeated, he will fade away instantly, regardless of any actions taken to keep him in the War. If his master was defeated, he will fade away again unless he has contracted with another Master since and if he has not sustained too much damage while in his Avenger form.
This Noble Phantasm cannot be forcibly activated, even with the use of all three command seals. Until the conditions are met, it's active component remains completely sealed. Additionally, if Edmond does not respect or view his master in a positive light, he cannot use the second component of this noble phantasm due to him seeing no need to avenge them.
Name: Tyger, Burning Bright, Enfer Chateau d'If Rank: C~A Type: Anti-Unit/Anti-Army Description: A Noble Phantasm that takes two forms, depending on if The Monte Christo Mythology's second effect is active or not.
As an Assassin Servant, the Noble Phantasm take the form of a C-Rank Reality Marble. When invoked the Marble takes the form of the island prison Edmond spent several years of his life in after being betrayed. Edmond can only take one target inside the marble with him and while inside, he gains several benefits. Additionally, enemies trapped inside have their Agility reduced down to E rank.
The first benefit is him gaining the Incitement personal skill, allowing him to enrage or torment his targets. Against most Servants and those who are more 'pure' the skill is C rank but against those who hold grudges. For those who hold grudges or are Servants classified as Anti-Heroes or Villians, the skill becomes C+. However, he must has knowledge of who he is talking to before hand in order to use this skill effectively (he must know about the Masters and know the True Name of Servants).
The second benefit he gains while inside the Reality Marble is that Edmond can ignore the laws of physics while inside it. He is able to freely walk on the walls and ceilings, can slip through the smallest cracks, and phase through objects as if they weren't there, effectively becoming a phantom of the prison while inside.
Even when not deployed, the Reality Marble gives Edmond one benefit while in the real world. While undeployed, Edmond can slip into his Reality Marble and 'escape' the prison to appear elsewhere, giving him a means of escape. In order to do so though, he needs to have a destination he has been to in mind beforehand, causing him to only be able to teleport to places he has visited and seen in the present day.
While he is of the Avenger Class, Edmond loses access to the Reality Marble but can forcibly move his body at superhuman speeds, sometimes appearing as nothing but a blue light streaking towards his target. Changing direction causes a small explosion of blue energy and Edmond must slow down to the point that his body is visible to his opponent in order to attack (thus making the attacks difficult to avoid or block but possible with a high enough Agility score.). If pushed enough, Edmond can create copies of himself, though they have no substance and are more of an illusion than anything else.
