[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Lord Windos]

Sighing in relief as the Carnivine was knocked out, he carefully approaches it and untangles Apsis from its grasp. Quite happy to be free from it binding, Apsis slithers over to his side, but not before launching another Poison Sting at the visible portions of the Carnivine. Looks like the snake does not like being on the receiving end of a Bind! Sweating dropping a bit at Apsis spitefulness, he just slightly shakes his as he carefully inspects her.

"Looks like you are going to develop quite a set of bruises from the Carnivine's entanglement, but you should be right as rain by the end of the day. Take a long rest, you deserve it for your tenaciousness," Ventus said, gently petting Apsis' head, before he returned it to its Pokeball. A small smile graced his face as he looked at the Ekan's Pokeball, feeling quite happy and proud to be forming such an effective bond with it. 'To think I was thinking of trading you away, my Apsis. We are going be great partners, I just know it,' he though, stashing the Pokeball and withdrawing another.

With a flick of the button, out popped Raphael, who was looking nervously at their surrounding. 'Looks like their still watching out for Apsis, oh dear,' Ventus though, before reaching down and soothingly petting his tiny angel. "Apsis isn't out now, so you are safe, little one. I was thinking we could practice a bit, and see if your strong enough to preform Metronome," he said to it, smiling patiently at Raphael. It blinked at him for a moment, before it chirped confusingly at him. It appears it doesn't know where to start with learning the move!

Ventus frowned a bit at this realization, and was brainstorming ideas to kickstart the learning process, when the idea came to him in a Flash. Snapping his finger, he began to calmly instruct his Togepi in the art. "Well, it seems you having a little trouble getting started little one, so how about I aid you? I might not be a Pokémon, but I can surely teach you the steps!" Sticking his arms out, he began to wave them rhythmically in front, while softly chanting under his breath, before stopping and throwing his arms out fully.

" That's what I remember of the move when I saw some Clefables inacting it, so why emulate them? Oh, and remember to focus on your inner power as well, and summon it forth when you are done preforming the action! Now, repeat after me..." Ventus then proceeded to preform those same motions again, in an attempt to teach his Togepi Metronome.
