[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Dragonstrike]

'Almost there,' Ventus thought, seeing the doors of the Pokémon Center come into vison. It could not have been more than a scant few seconds since he started gunning for there, but it felt like age to him. 'Well, I'm finally here. Time to raise the alarm!' With one last burst of speed, he rushed towards the doors of the Pokémon Center. Nearly slamming into them, he forced them open and staggered inside, his adrenaline supply finally depleted from all of the exercise.

Well, if you call running for you and your friend's life from an angry monkey exercise 'exercise', but people have done more extreme things in the name of fitness (or survival of the fittest...).

Huffing and trying to catch his breath, he craned his head up and looked for Shiva and the Pokémon. Almost instantly he spotted her, and dragged himself over in that direction. "Shiva...danger...Larry and...Vincent.....fighting a....Mankey. Please....we neeed your assistance!" Ventus said, hand on his knees as he was hunched over, trying to get his third wind. Raphael, after so long not seeing his master, toddled over to him quickly, and started making distressed chirping noises at his condition. Maybe he needs to work out a bit more....*Weezh*

As Ventus enters the building, Ralts bolts out the front doors! Nathan, still on the ground and trying to catch his breath, isn't paying very much attention right now, so he doesn't see the little pokemon coming at all.

WHAM!!  "OOF!!!"

Nathan suddenly finds himself not sitting on the ground, but laying on it.  With a 1'04" pokemon on top of him, hugging him as tightly as it can."What the...Ralts?  Oh my goodness, Ralts!  How worried did you get, buddy?"  Nathan attempts to sit up, which isn't hard considering it's just a ralts that's on top of him.  It's not a geodude, after all.  As he sits up, he hugs Ralts back.  "I am, so, so sorry for putting you through that.  I shouldn't have left you there for so long."  They just stay there for a moment, enjoying each others' company after what felt like hours apart.
