[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Dragonstrike]

Professor Mallorn is waiting on the road outside your yard.

"Ah, young rancher. I have a request for you as you travel the world. There are some Pokemon-of-burden I would love to train for my business. A Tauros or a Skrelp are the more realistic Pokemon on my wishlist. I would LOVE LOVE LOVE a Dragonite; in Kanto they used to deliver all the important messages. Same for Creshire, back in the time of the King. I would pay your party handsomely according to the rarity of the Pokemon.

And then I have a secret wish as well, boss. The legendary Keldeo! The fighting Colt Pokemon! The young Sword of Justice! Ah, to be able to run across the entire world, oceans and all, in a single day! That would indeed be a priceless gift. I would be eternally in your debt and would give you anything you desired.

Tell the rest of your friends too."

Well, he hadn't expected THAT request of all things.  It wasn't completely surprising though...Tauros, made sense.  Dragonite...yeah, checks out.  Skrelp?  Hmmmm....that's a little odder, but maybe he had plans for overseas or, strange as it was to consider, underwater deliveries?  Keldeo?  He doubted that was going to happen, even if they did find the mythical pokemon...particularly since it's really only been seen in Unova for the most part...by the time Nathan had processed all this, Mallorn was nowhere to be seen.  Maybe he went inside to talk with his mom about the ponyta again?  Oh well...Nathan jots down the request for future reference.

Nathan continues on his way to the pokemon center, muttering something about how he's not a rancher, he's a trainer...
