[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Dragonstrike]

"I wish they'd shown you again after showing you racing off into the distance! How could they leave me worrying like that? Well, I'm glad you're OK. Next time, send me a text to let me know you're alright, even if you don't have time to talk. I promise I won't call back right away, potentially wrecking whatever you're trying to do. I know some Pokemon can be skittish. Okay?"

"Well, tell me about that Absol adventure! What disasters did you get into?"

'Kinda hard to send a text if I'm trying to avoid letting you know in the first place...'  He understands the worry, but he had been trying to keep this under wraps for a reason...guess the TV crew thought otherwise...

"No disasters, actually.  Just chased after the Absol that had been following me and Kirlia for a year, earned his respect with Kirlia coming out of the battle completely unscathed, and added him to the team.  No big deal, really."

No big deal...except he forgot for a moment that he'd never told his mom about the Scarred Absol when he first found Ralts...Kory was the first person he'd told that final part of the story to...

[Spiritmon]

Axew almost jump in the direction of Cottonee when she "pretend" to use Fairy Wind but Heart grab him to not do that. "Koa! Dont do that!" After some dificult he could calm his draconic companion. "Sorry about this. I trying to calm him. We have a little, so he have a little more respect but he still some little agressive. Sorry about that." Heart apologize.

[Iron]

"Nathan...you really need to be more open with me. If a Pokemon was chasing you, why didn't you let me or Corporal Wake know? We were worried about what kind of sticky situations that Ralts might get you into, but I decided to let you keep it since you would soon be a man. I hope you trust me more in the future, dear. You don't have to do everything on your own."

Oops.

"Uh...funny story...I didn't actually know myself until recently...I'd uh...mostly forgotten that detail until a few weeks ago...and also wasn't entirely certain I wasn't seeing things until about a week ago...and even Absol was trying to keep things between just me, him, and Kirlia..."

Frazzled as he is from already having to deal with Ventus, Nathan's not exactly doing a good job of concealing certain pieces of information from his mom...

(She, it's a female fluffball.)


Oh, looks like Shiva was too occupied enjoying Ven's presence, petting his draconic bat and enjoying the warm spring weather to even notice what Cottonee was doing. Or was not doing. As she did though, Cottonee still had that mischievous face, it felt like it increased because the dragon totally fell for the bait.

Shiva though, was amused and not amused at the same time as she saw ...Heart, that was his name, right?... struggling to keep his Pokemon under control, so her following words had actually no real anger in it. In fact, she said them with a smile. "My, Cottonee, I'm not paying attention and you immediately use an opportunity to play Dragon Slayer? Sweet... But please don't do that too often, okay? We don't want to cause a ruckus or a scene."

As for the owner of the Axew, she kept that slight smile. "Oh, nevermind, apology accepted. It's just my beloved fluffball's fae nature combined with her mischievous attitude, she grew so attatched to me that you don't have to fear anything from her. Or me." Next, looking down to Axew. He was returning her gaze. "Oh, and don't mind his mild agression, that's natural to dragons and especially the Axew-line, it certainly takes some effort to win their respect. Try to start from the right foot and prove lil' one that you're strong, and things will likely develope into a positive direction. K? Besides, what were you about to do in town?"

[Iron]

"Hm. So you think this Absol had some ulterior motive? and it's related to Ralts, of course. Tell me about it."

[Dragonstrike]

"Hm. So you think this Absol had some ulterior motive? and it's related to Ralts, of course. Tell me about it."

"Uh...hmmm...yeah, about that...I can't."

[Iron]

"No? Can you tell me why not? If I have to trust your judgment, I will. You know that."

[Dragonstrike]

"No? Can you tell me why not? If I have to trust your judgment, I will. You know that."

"It's...important.  Very important.  That's all I can really say.  And it's related to both me and Kirlia.  I'm...not sure why it is, though..."

(Guess I'll move on a little. @Spiritmon, you are all free to still reply to Shiva's question towards Heart about what you do in town, same with you, @Lord Windos.)


Now, with casual run-ins with Ventus and Heart as well as Cottonee had her fun playfully messing with Axew, Shiva finally arrived at the Daycare. @Iron, their owners there? Also, how does the vendor of the mart react to free 100$ for the information, does he/she accept it?
