 - check out Tome Of Genealogy, hoping he's actually a noble.
 - Heal. For the relaxation
 - Check out an item from the relic library. Hoping for Wide Lens.
 - and, if any of the technical manuals offer something that doesn't require the ability to read, Valder will give it attention.
...These are kinda second priority, though.
 Valder's mainly looking for a specific book. He tells his boss to kindly look for a book named "the Croconawmicon"
When Nathan enters the Library, the first thing he does is look for Valder. Â He said he would help the mercenary, so that's what he's going to do!
TM Teaching:
First off, (if needed) Nathan makes sure Valder knows what all his options are before checking out what his own pokemon can learn.
Mamo: (Icicle Crash is not a valid choice due to not being a TM, unfortunately. Â Valder can still pick out another move, though!)
- Fissure (careful, this move is really hard to use with a -7 Accuracy penalty)
- Avalanche (Ice type Revenge, courtesy of Gen 4!)
- Body Slam (courtesy of Gen 1)
- Stealth Rock
Haunter:
- Icy Wind
- Giga Drain (but he has to evolve first according to Iron's ruling.  Nathan can help arrange that, though, since his Pokedex has a Trade function.  And if Valder wants to do the round trade with Shiva and Helios, there's a convenient PC here that we can use!)
Delta Pineco (already knows Stealth Rock, which is cool)
- Secret Power (I personally think this is a fun move to use)
- Fissure (careful, this move is really hard to use with a -7 Accuracy penalty)
- Avalanche (Ice type Revenge, courtesy of Gen 4!)
- Body Slam (courtesy of Gen 1)
- Stealth Rock

Free non-fight Specialty Point:
Nathan feels great in this location. Â There's sooo many books he wants to read, so many things he wants to look for...so much, in fact, that his Alert increases to 2 for 6 exp so he can look for them! Â And the book he reads raises it to 3!
As for Valder, he needs to decide which specialty he wants that free point in. Â Either Earthpower or Alert is fine, but you only get to pick one (and if you want to get the most bang for your buck, spend some exp on raising that specialty either 1 or 2 levels first)
Tome of Genealogy
If Valder still needs some assistance here, Nathan will be more than happy to provide it.
As for Nathan...
"...wait, I actually do have noble blood?! Â You're kidding me, right? Â That can't possibly be correct...can it?"
So...out of curiosity, who does Nathan happen to be related to?  And does the +1 Loyalty only apply to actual Dragon types, or would pokemon like Charmeleon, Helioptile, Snivy(?), etc benefit as well due to popular association with dragonkind?
Check Out an Item
This one's actually also a question for Charmeleon: which Mega Charizard form would he prefer?  The tough, draconic talons of Mega Charizard X, or the flighty, dry flames of Mega Charizard Y?  Whichever one it is, that's the Mega Stone I'd like to look for.  3 Insight + 3 Survival + 3 Alert - 3 difficulty = 6 D6
Side Note: it can be assumed that Nathan also tells Charmeleon about the noble blood thing. Â Nathan's still rather awestruck and a tad uncertain about the whole thing, but what does Charmeleon think of the news?
Other
By this time, Shiva's probably found Nathan to request that battle!
This might also be around the time that those more than human traits start becoming more apparent...
There's still more I'd like to do here, but that can wait until after the short battle with Shiva.
