[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Dragonstrike]

Nathan watches the battle as it proceeds. Did Larry seriously just almost send out a shiny Nincada against an ice type? And that Oshawott was using nothing but tackle the entire time as well...if he'd captured that Nincada before the battle, then the Oshawott could have maybe had at least known Water Gun at some point in the battle...Nathan's faith in Larry's abilities as a trainer diminishes further. It seems the stories were wrong after all. Trainer for a year or not, that kid was still almost a complete novice. How he managed to pull off winning that battle and all the ones before were a complete mystery to Nathan.

He walks over when it's over to collect his prize, leaving Ralts to watch Swiftfire. When he reaches the ice climber, he says, "Thanks for the battle. I might be disappointed in my performance as well as my pokemon's, but I can't deny that you are a very good trainer. That cubchoo of yours..." Nathan looks over at 'Cubchoo.' "Er, Beartic, was something we definitely weren't prepared for. Oh, and I'll take some green gloves if you have some on you."

Nathan doesn't say a word to Larry other than, "Nice Nincada you got there. Take good care of it." He walks back to Swiftfire and Ralts, still sullen and angry.
