[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Lord Windos]

He looked at the flower in apparent wariness, not wanting to get any closer to them without some industrial grade herbicide. He noticed it oozing out a strange fluid that was entrancing Raphael. He immedianlty flicked out his Pokeball and returned it to his Pokeball, shielding it from the effects of the dubious plant. Turning towards Shiva, he was about to tell her to recall her Pokémon, when he gaped at her. In her uncovered hand was that very flower. "SHIVA, DROP THAT FLOWER NOW! ITS ENTRALLING OUR POKEMON, AND I DONT KNOW WHAT IT MIGHT DO TO US!" He shouted, quite urget in his desire for her to get rid of the flower. It appears that Cottenee was covered in its sap, so it need to be washed ASAP .

Oh. So it were these flowers that terrified him.

Quite disturbed by his sudden and intense reaction, she needed a moment to realise what he wanted. "OkayOkay! We will NOT take them with us..." She immediately placed those flowers down to the ground ('placed', not 'threw' - in her eyes, they were too precious to be slapped to the ground) and backed two steps away from them to be closer to Ventus, who seemed quite eager to have as much distance between him and these flowers as possible.

However, she's keeping that second Ranc Berry flower she picked up just before. Maybe later she will be able to gift it to Raphael.

She then gave him an expression that clearly showed that she didn't quite understand what's so bad about those particluar flowers, and what he meant by 'entralling our Pokemon'.

Ventus sighed in relief as Shiva placed the flowers on the ground, but he was still very riled up. He was hyperventilating and sweating, and was shaking ever so slightly at being near these flowers. 'I don't know what these things are, but they are NOT good what. so. EVER! I need to get Shiva and the group out of here, fast, before these 'flowers' do something terrible! I can't let it happen again...!' Ventus frantically though, gently gripping Shiva's hand and started to lead her away from the flowers.

While he was leaving the clearing, though, his phone started buzzing in his satchel. Pulling it out, he checked what messages were on it. "It...appears that Vincent... and Nathan have captured Ponyta...Shiva. They have...also met a....Survialist that can...make flute...weeeh. I need to...catch my breath," he said, stopping for a few moments to do calm down a bit. He usually doesn't get this bent out of shape over flowers, but they are so...unnatural. Or maybe too natural. Eventually, he got a grip on his emotions, stopped panting, and tracked his steps back to where he saw them last. Soon, he spotted them from about 20 feet away, and made his way to greet them. Even from that distance, it was apparent that Ventus was quite disleveled, and it only got more clear that he wasn't exactly in the finest state as he approached them.

"Greetings, my friends. I got the message that you successfully corralled the errant Ponyta, and that the stranger you meet was a flute maker. I was looking for it myself while hunting for berries, but I came across some... bizarre flowers. I studied them a bit, and have come to the conclusion that they could be quite possibly dangerous. While I would prefer to catch up on what you were doing while I was busy with Shiva, I do believe it is best we leave this medow. Now."
