[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Lord Windos]

"My my, this horse certainly does blaze a trail of destruction," Ventus simply said, looking rather surprised by the sheer amount of damage caused by the Ponyta. Across the charred clearing, he notices both Nathan and Vincent staring at the damage, as well as the Survivalist. "How fortunate it is that we have crossed paths like this! I was hoping to find the missing Ponyta soon, and with the trail of destruction rather clear, it will be easy to rack down. Pinning it down in one location will be the main problem, though," Ventus said, motioning to Shiva to follow his lead.

Having a flash of insight, he returns Apsis to her Pokémon, and begin to track down the errant horse. 'I don't believe that Apsis would provoke the Ponyta needlessly, given how easily the horse could trample her, but better safe than sorry. Besides, Nathan did say that no harm was to come to it, and I don't desire to break my promise to him,' he though, quietly following the path that look most freshly razed. He saw Vincent stay behind and, from what he can infer, interrogate the dazed trainer, but he decides that the former police officer is more up to that task than himself.
 
He ends ups finding the Ponyta further into the burned zone, but it just as quickly bolts off in another direction. Looking for the cause of its sudden flight, he spotted Nathan attempting to approach it head on. 'Well, he knows this Pokémon better than anyone, but I would assume he would not provoke it so. Then again, I did her that this Ponyta was 'playful', so perhaps this is some form of game between them?' Venuts pondered just on how to approach it, he remember that it seemed to dislike these clear flowers, and was avoiding them. Walking over to one of the strange flowers, he reaches into his satchel, and pull out a pair of rubber gloves. Putting them on, he picked up the flower, and tried to divine what was so strange about it.
