[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

"Dratini are attracted to those with ancestry going back to the old King. I have just a touch of his blood. I actually caught this in the wild, at Vapor Falls. They are extremely rare there, and even blood of the King is not enough to guarantee seeing one."

At Vapor Falls... were those these falls she can see from the Daycare's backyard? Appearantly. The Guidebook from Prof. Mallorn mentioned them being a great hideout for rarer Pokemon, but in the same sentance it said how hard it is to actually get there... Hmm.

"Well, thank you for the information. I don't think I have a royal blood line, but if I happen to see one Dratini, I'll surely think of you! Be well then, and thanks again for the nice battle~"

That 'thanks for the nice battle' was an honest one. It surely went rather smoothly, without trouble and was a nice activity for Cottonee, given she could literally sense how the fluffball rejoiced alongside her owner.


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Thanks to the nearby Nurse Joy - did she came especially to take care that none got hurt during the battle? Shiva didn't spotted her until just now... - Cottonee was healed without any lasting damage. Wasn't a big deal, given the damage it did take was quickly fixed with a Paralysis Heal and an Oran Berry. How splendid!

A check-in in the Pokemon Center revealed that none of the other party members has returned yet from the Combee-Issue. A check-in in the mailbox of her cell releived no new messages from any of them. Well, if there were trouble, they would probably have messaged her. Well... looks like some more free time. Too bad, she actually hoped for a chance to show Nathan the photo of the sign the Murkrow led her to - given he was native to Chreshire, maybe he knows more about it than she does? But... oh well. Not today, no more. There is no need to hurry.

So, what to do now... Meanwhile, hours have passed and it will get dark. To bed early? Eh, nope. More battles? Neither... Siting around worrying where the others are, how they're doing and whether Plusle and Miltank will be fine tomorrow? Ah... On the other hand, the Festival would surely look great if illuminated... why sit around when you literally can do what you wish for now... With the Sawsbuck Event tomorrow and the work at the Daycare maybe you won't get a chance like this again...

Mechanics:
As said, the Combee-Encounter seems to take longer, so instead of waiting for it to be finished, I'll be visiting the Festival once again. First, please bring up these free attribute-competitions. More money never hurts in this game.
