[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Dragonstrike]

As the pokeball finally clicks shut, Nathan lets out a sigh of relief, glad neither he nor Ralts got any wetter. Except...now the pokeball was floating in the middle of the pond, just a little bit out of reach. And glowing. Really brightly. Nathan sighs again, but wades into the water to retrieve it. After he gets out, he lets Staryu out of the pokeball near the water.

As the starfish pokemon looks around, Nathan...feels kinda bad. He just did what he would rather have avoided doing. But...this Staryu also didn't look like it had any friends in that pond. He at least didn't see any bright lights in its not very deep depths. He sighs once more, and gets ready to inform the Staryu of its new situation. "Hello there, Staryu. Sorry if I caused you any confusion just now. Being on land probably isn't what you're used to. The name's Nathan. This little guy who you just battled is Ralts. It looked like you might have been a little lonely in that pond, so...well, we decided to bring you with us." Nathan's little speech might be straight to the point, but it's also incredibly awkward. He's almost trying to half apologize for capturing the Staryu without its full consent. "I, uh...was hoping you didn't mind that too much..." Nathan's train of thought derails there. Ralts can sense this, and walks up to the Staryu to say hi and cover for him.
