[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Dragonstrike]

Nathan and Larry finish an exhausting training session. It uh...took awhile for Bubbles to learn Water Gun. Swiftfire might have also been caught in the crossfire of 'failed' water guns 2 or 3 times (Nathan suspects at least one of those was purposely aimed at her).

Feeling just a little bit tired, Nathan approaches the RV with Larry. He's not ready to turn in yet though. Vincent is still out there, looking for that Voltorb. It took some convincing, but Nathan managed to keep Larry from running off immediately when he finally noticed that text about what Vincent was currently doing. He can see Shiva's climbed down from the RV's roof, and is attending to her pokemon and the juggler (I assume Larry brought him there before heading off to train due to the timing of everything)...the Hoppip have long since been blown away, and Plusle and Minun are playing in the sand. Ventus was still out and about with that Swimmer...or so Nathan assumed. He didn't see him anywhere around the RV, at least.

Nathan sits down. It's probably about time he figured out what the pink pearl is. But first, a message to Vincent.

"Back at the RV. Where are you? Did you find the Voltorb? Should we come get you, or should we meet you somewhere else?"

Message sent, Nathan pulls the pearl out of the bag. Ralts is immediately drawn to it once again. "Hmmm...it does look a lot like a Clamperl...maybe the pokedex will have more info..." Looking up what little info the dex has on the Clamperl, he finds that the species makes exceedingly rare, valuable, and powerful pearls when mature ones evolve. It's a once-in-a lifetime occurrence for the clams. The pearls have the ability to amplify psychic powers apparently. "So if that's the case...is that why you find it so interesting Ralts? You feel stronger when near it?" Ralts continues to stare at the pearl. Swiftfire is pacing impatiently still. She doesn't get what the big deal is.
