[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Iron]

Spoiler

Kirlia's still on Yule, near the bulk of the main group where the metagross are still.  He's rather bored and...nervous.  He knows why Nathan left him back here...but everyone besides Ventus left the area...leaving him with the researcher in question...

...he's been inching Yule further away from the metagross and Ventus as a result.

...and not really been paying attention to much besides that, so when Viktor appears again...well, he's startled enough that he falls off of Yule.

A moment later, he sees the offered potion.  The intent is fairly obvious, so Kirlia slowly takes it and gets back on Yule.

Slightly more comfortable with Viktor and Heart?  Maybe.

Kirlia's still keeping his distance from Ventus and the metagross for now, though.  Nathan's still somewhere up ahead, as well...Kirlia can't help but wonder when he's going to come back...

Viktor was quite happy to know Kirlia as acept the gift and spin around. Wow. That little Phantump seems have a little of Heart personality with him! Its what they say: When Pokemon parthneers stay much time with their masters, their sometimes inerit some actions of his masters. Viktor give one last shy smile to Kirlia and return to his master. Who was with another tree waiting for the others. Viktor give a subtile invite to Kirlia. Heart was looking for herbs and a few other things to prepare a soup. Everyone might need energy after that encounters.

Action: Prepare some meal to everyone returns! Since Heart is the cooker of the group.

*rolls dice*

Heart finds some leaves that smell really good. He has a few basic food items in his pack already, and Monferno means he can make a fire with ease.

Ventus is using your Metagross right now, so perhaps you're sending some other Pokemon instead? Or going in person yourself?
 It'll be an hour or two before Ventus can get here anyway.

In that case, Yena is sent instead, as Shiva does feel too powered out to go finding her travel companions on her own and then return to the spot she found the Drillbur. She didn't go on full force (which would mean spending a Will Point), but she still wasn't too used to dire battles, least of all in the wild far away from any Healing Machines.

This also means different phrasing of the request. And strokes over the young hyena's ears, before he too was given a light pink wildflower to hold between his fangs. "No, that is no snack for you, dear one. Please go and find Ventus - you know him, try to locate him by the subtle smell of lavender and wool of his sweater. Lead him here, make him understand that it's not 'urgent' or at least that I'm not hurt, but make sure he tags along."

Shiva gains 9XP to split among her Pokemon who participated. She earns 4Xp.

Yena goes off and soon finds Ventus by following the sound of an oddly pleasant rattle.

Well, whenever someone goes off to find Nathan or the group catches up to him, they'll find him picking flowers, the Combee enjoying the wild flowers, Swiftfire impatiently waiting around...and no Unfezant in sight (Masq is going to be hiding amongst the flowers again).

Camouflage is fun, right?

Now, with the moles being taken care of, Shiva was finally able to relax a bit, regaining her former calm. The rays of sunlight where still present, natural Vitamin D felt better than taking it in pills indeed... Seems like Shiva will reside here, in silence and Nightshade held close to her.

"You look exhausted, greatly, but you saved us all possibly. These moles were way more of a challenge I thought it might be..." Now that she thought about it, she couldn't remember that Drillbur were able to summon sandstorms, not even specially breeded ones. Back to Nightshade though. "Now, you are actually capable to heal yourself up a little. Use Morning Sun, please - enjoy the rays of sunshine. One day, you'll also be a flower - even being able to change form when you brightened up the sun. How does that sound to you? Oh right, that's also for you... It's amazingly clear water from a mountain tarn." *occasionally spraying Nighshade using the spraying flask bought earlier, just like one would do with a potted plant*


Accuracy Roll Morning Sun, outside of battle (can I do that?) : 5*Dext + 2 Survival + 2 Nature - 3 Pain = 6d6
Effect: Complete Heal due to Sunny Weather.

There is another thing Shiva does while waiting for Ven or Yena to return as the others might already wonder where she were: That was, checking on the status of the Mystery Egg Ven gave into her care for now with the use of her Almanac. Also, curiosity made her to search for the 'Dex'entry of Whimsicott. (Feel free to send that one via PM)

Yena goes off and soon finds Ventus by following the sound of an oddly pleasant rattle.

Distracted as Ventus was with enjoying the good company of his much beloved Lucifer, he was keen to notice Shiva's bizaare Yena sprinting towards him and barking up a storm, before making a metaphorical U-turn and race back off in the direction it came from, glancing back every now and again to see if he was following! Surprised and somewhat alarmed about the Dark dog's summons, as his beloved friend wouldn't send her Pokémon out to retrieve him unless it was important, the reseaercher swiftly followed after it on his Metagross mount with his devil bat still perched on his shoulder, a grim look of determination setting in on his face. 'If anything adverse has befallen Shiva, then who or whatever inflicted such harm upon her will know my wrath, unfettered and raw.'

Fortunately for everyone (Including the Drilbur!), when he arrived to his much cherished best friend, it turned out she was completely fine as she stood with a sense of triumph and pride over two fainted Dribur. Now abit confused (though still happy for his friend's victory), the empath hopped down from his mount and inquired: "Shiva, what ever is the matter? I received Yena's summons and came here at double speed, but it appears that whatever trouble these moles posed to you was not overly bothersome, so if I'm not imposing by asking this, but why? *Presuming that she tells him* ....Oh, well that is a relief! *Gives her another *Incadescent Smile® for her thoughtfulness!* I thank you for this opportunity, my dear, as I do love Steel types of all manners, and especially rare and/or unique specimens at that! Now, let me summon Apsis to paralyze the aggressive one with Glare before I capture it, and let's go searching were Heart and Nathan are lurking out in the fields, shall we?"

Order: Apsis getting summoned to paralyze the Sandstream Drilbur before he uses up to 3 Pokeballs to capture it. If that fails, Apsis will learn Poison Fang by taking out her frustrations on it, before being returned and he leaves with Shiva (Hopefull) in tow on Metagross to find Nathan/Heart. Let's get the lead out, guys!

Morning Sun:
(6)(6)(4)(6)(2)(2) 4 health regained.

You can do it, but just don't spam or abuse it. Normally it would cost the Pokemon a will point but not in my rules. Three times a day is about right.

The blue/black egg has 90% gestation remaining. No pedigree, etc.

Whimsicott
Whimsicott, the Infiltrator Pokemon. Whimsicott has the excellent ability to slip through small gaps. This makes it very useful in engineering and other applications. Unfortunately, it tends to leave wisps of cotton behind, so shearing is recommended in a production environment. A trainer looking for support in double battles has no need of doing this.
Whimsicott is most commonly found near Elanor in the wild.
Whimsicott evolves from Cottonee using a Sunstone. Almanac is currently testing an artificial alternative.

He keeps on calling her 'dear'... Aww. "I'm doing fine, Ven... Just...exhausted... Glad you came!~ Go on and capture the agressive one to prevent it from messing with innocent people, but leave the other one there for the sake of intact nature, please..."

"Very well, Shiva. I would have liked to have captured it to accure a little extra Poke for supplies and the like, but its important to remember not to take too much from the environment. At least, not until we human learn how to subsist wholely without it, and I doubt that event will come for a long time!"
