[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Lord Windos]

Latios takes off immediately, straight west. Looks like he's setting a course that will wind up north of Teazel Valley.

Terra was silent as the Eon Dragon hastily depart, his expression barely maintaining it's stoicism as he worried about them. Hopefully.....hopefully they'd be alright, out there. Hopefully.

A few seconds later, he noticed the crowd surrounding him for the first time and spotted his friends among them, and looking at Nathan he simply said "It has been done. Time for me to rest...," and quietly walked back into the Pokemon Center to do just as he said. Originally he wanted to make camp in Stair to make more preparations and meet up with Cosh/the other Scimitars ASAP, but after meeting Latios he just felt too drained yet anxious to stick with that plan. Cress was good as any place to sleep with DEOXYS on the loose, and if one or more of it's clones came by to harass/ransack/experiment on the rustic city he'd be there to fend them off with everything he's got.

But that's a future and probable worry. Now, he goes to Sleep, and get some rest. He'll need every ounce of it he can get, and more.

(....Aaand Terra's done for the day, unless anyone wants to drag him into a conversation. Ready for the next day to roll around, so we can finally began the Legendary Battle.)

[Lord Windos]

Real quick, though, Nathan has two questions for Terra.  "...so, where was he?  And do you have any idea why he looked so beat up for a moment there?"

"....Somewhere underground or unclosed, with water....beneath it and ceiling very close above. Seen water....rise up to hit them, and looked like they were flying there for long time, so that.....could be part of reason why they were so hurt."

"....Somewhere underground or unclosed, with water....beneath it and ceiling very close above. Seen water....rise up to hit them, and looked like they were flying there for long time, so that.....could be part of reason why they were so hurt."

"...some kind of underground tunnel?  That's...an odd place for a flight capable pokemon as big as Latios...hmmm...Creshire does have a lot of underground tunnels that form almost labyrinthine mazes, though, many of which are flooded due to connections with the sea...I wonder why he was there...well, maybe we can ask Latios about what happened later.  Get some rest if you can, Terra.  You look like you need it."

Marco pulls you up onto Skarmory and flies to the Warren farm. Those who gathered for Latios get to witness the incredible speed of a FLYing Skarmory. You arrive in an instant.

Where are Shiva, Heart, and Spira staying?

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

Witnessing FLYing Skarmory, Shiva looks forward to soar the skies like that as well on Tropius: This must be such a cool experience! She's staying in Cress City, in particular in the same Center she went to upon having arrived in town/where she inquired that NPC-couple and Nurse Joy about the situation.

@Iron
Heart then made his preparations. He ask the university to get his special Beldum with the moves previous requested (not Icy Wind or whatever but the other moves possible for young Beldum learn). He also find the guy who teach bug moves and let him teach Metang signal beam. Second, Heart decided to buy a Hard Stone. Third, he arrange his party like this:

Quetzal (DELTA Steelixnite)
Viktor (Leftlovers)
Gustav (Dark Plate)
Percival (Rock Plate)
Honckrow (Black Glasses)
Doublade (Wide Lens)

Fourth, he teach Gustav the move Dark Pulse, and I use 40 XP to make Dark Pulse a spread move. And finally fifth, Heart use the Iron he get to give Gustav +1 Defense. With this, we going to rest for next day in game to fight Deoxys.

Heart also stay where Terra gonna be. They are friends, and they gonna stay and fight together in case of Deoxys attacks.

It is now Day 83! The day of Deoxys!

Marco and Martha are in the living room when Nathan wakes up. Both are smiling and holding hands. You haven't seen Martha this happy in 3 years.

He uses his foot to slide a cloth off of the coffee table. Under the cloth is revealed a strange glass machine, with pollen, dust, and tiny feathers floating around inside its cylinder. Occasional lightning bolts are visible within it. Every time the quiet thunder rolls, the straps glow, sending along all the information necessary to learn this epic move.

I'll cut to the chase here, as Terra is not wasting any time himself: he's up and waiting in the lobby alone in Cress for everyone to meet up and go off to face Deoxys, having forgone his morning routine and wolfed down breakfast with his Pokemon. He's tense, on-edge, and ready for hell like a seasoned soldier being sent out to war again, and their is not an ounce of softness within him right now. Only Cold Steel purpose remained, all of it bent and welded to defeat Deoxys. For his charges, his friends, and beyond. No matter what happens, he would do his best against that interstellar menace, fight with all his might.......until he could not.

Shiva's arriving in the Lobby rather soon as well, remarkably earlier than she usually would do = around the time Ventus would get up (around sunrise). Still, nothing about her body language points towards her being tired or desiring to sleep a little longer, her stance and walk is certain, stable and overall she's looking like she's brimming to get going. Nightshade's resting in Overcast Form on her shoulder, close to her and semi-hidden in between strands of her Master's hair; overall delighted to be with her again after being seperated for days. A curious blue and white cat with two tails is following her, Kyuu's giving everyone and everything a careful and cautious look. Of course Shiva's also carrying the Shield, clenching it silently, looking ready to raise it any moment at the tinies provocation.

The three approach Terra silently upon having spotted him on a table, and take a seat as well after gently asking whether she may do so. Her voice is neutral, but in no way cold or unfriendly, but she does not look like she's very talkactive at the moment and prefers to  enjoy a hearty breakfast and check the news of whether anything notable about the situation, good and bad, has occured overnight.

[Iron]

Deoxys worked through the night, and has probably completely rounded up every single Pokemon in Elanor and the immediate surrounding areas.

The League worked through the night as well, and is ready to hazard a team against Deoxys. Latias was contacted and the rumor of Latios' arrival has spread. So those two are definitely ready to help and have been seen battling clones.
