[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Dragonstrike]

When Nathan wakes up the next morning, he's feeling a little bit sleepy, but not enough to keep him from being energetic about the events of the previous night. Ralts is in high spirits too. "Alright, Ralts, let's make sure we're ready for the day before heading out. Pokedex, check. Bag, check. Status healing items and potion, check. Trainer card, check. Pokeballs, che...wait, where's your pokeball, Ralts?" Nathan begins searching the room frantically, looking for the old, dull premier ball. He doesn't find it, but he does discover he has Ventus's prism from yesterday. "Shoot, must have left it at the pokemon center...I'll have to ask Nurse Joy about that...but wait, you were out of your pokeball when I returned from the forest yesterday...does that mean Shiva has it since she stayed behind? I'll have to ask her too, then...well, good thing we were planning on meeting the others at the pokemon center anyways...I can return the prism to Ventus too. Must have forgotten I had picked it up when he fainted..."

Before heading out, Nathan takes a moment to stop by the kitchen and grab some breakfast and inform his mom about what had happened last night. She was concerned that Nathan had ordered Ralts to use Confusion on him, but she understood that he didn't want to cause any unnecessary trouble, and he assured her he was feeling fine after resting. Some part of him was finding it a little hard to believe that he was actually doing this. He was going to miss this place almost as much as his mom was going to miss him. Interacting with his mom and the ponyta, walking through the forests, getting hauled out of danger by Corporal Wake...okay, maybe he wouldn't miss EVERY part of it. He knows he'll be back when all of the adventuring is over though.

Once they wrap up breakfast, Nathan heads over to the pokemon center to meet the party, Ventus's prism in hand.
