[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Lord Windos]

"Well, I am from out of the region, so I might recognize it as an Egg from a specific species native to Unova. Either that, or I could take a picture of it and sent it to some of my researcher partners back at College. If I can't find out the answer, perhaps they can. But that is neither here or now, is it? Ventus said, his voice beginning to take on a more positive tone. Shiva Daycare activities are a great cause for concern, but it should not get in the way of their friendship. 'At least, not for the time being. Let us enjoy our serendipity, as long as we can.'

Once he felt that Shiva had calmed down from her spike of despair, he slowly let go, only lingering briefly before sitting back in his chair. Despite his more violent moments, his questionable Pokémon rearing practices, and his overprotective nature, she still held such positivity and trust in his actions. 'If only she new of some of the things I have done against treacherous Fairies, her opinion of me might have a sudden downturn. She doesn't know, but she'll find out eventually, if she chooses to stand by me still. I pray to Reshirem that our friendship doesn't break. She's, She's....important to me,' he thought, a little doubtful of the longevity of his friendship with Shiva. Well, if it come to crises, then it will so. For now, he will remain her friend and confidant.

After hearing Shiva respond that she'll try to rebuild the bridge between her and Nathan later, when tension had time to settle, he patted her shoulder in a show of silent support. Nothing he can say at this point can get to act further, so he'll just leave the two to make up at a later date. If things do not get better, he'll give either one a nudge in the right direction. 'As the resident worry wort, its my unofficial job to fret over the group like Swana over her chick! Its a stressful, and sometimes painful job, but I wouldn't never relinquish it," Ventus though, not entirely happy with the meeting he had with the lass, but was content with the outcome none of the less.

Letting the now comfortable silence hold between, he let Shiva dictate the pace of their conversation. Naturally, she brought up Nathan's gym battle, and Ventus couldn't help the chuckle that left him. "The boy utterly dominated Zamboni. Swiftfire and Ralts blasted a hole straight through his team, and end up having a decisive victory. The leader had a Delibird, Spealo, and a Rotom Freeze as a nasty surprise, but Nathan was able to take them all down without losing a single one of his Pokémon. Not a bad showing, if I say," the researcher said, very happy with his friends victory. After all, it allowed him the chance to have a go at the Leader himself!

To his surprise, Shiva revealed not only did she manage to get a Carney Coin, but also a Abra as well! "My my, you must have quite a lucky day at the Festival! While I would appreciate that coin, Nathan has already lensed me his other one to battle the Leader. Turns out you register the coin to fight him, then turn it in later for prizes. I heard that were giving out Elemental stones for 2 of them, so my best bet is he's going after a Water Stone for his Staryu. Speaking of the Gym, Zamboni's break time must be over by now, so why don't you come with me and watch me have a go at him? If nothing else and I actually lose, you could learn from my mistakes if you want to battle him as well. Now, let us be off!"

With that said, he helped Shiva to his feet (like the gentle man he was!), and lead her straight to Zamboni's Gym. On the way, they enjoyed the festival one last time, before it enviably winds down. All good things must come to an end, someday.

At the Gym

Walking toward Zamboni, he handed Nathan's other coin for him to register, before walking over to his side of the gym arena. In the stands, Nathan, Shiva, her Pokémon, and Michael where relaxing up there, ready to cheer him on in his trail against the leader. "Sorry for being absent, but I needed some time to stretch mind legs a bit. Cheerleading is surprisingly hard work, you know. Well, now I am ready to brave the tundra, Zamboni, so please try to do your best to freeze me solid!"

Seeing the Leader send out a Glaceon, he decided to send out Nathan's Porygon first. It would have no problems navigating the icy terrean of the battle field, and it would serve to see what moves this artic fox holds. The Porygon looked around briefly, before turning to look at him. While faint, he could feel a sense of bewilderment for the solid hologram. "Nathan has lend you to me for this battle, so for now you'll follow my orders. Do not worry, I'll make sure you acquire plenty of data to study. Now, 01110101 01110011 01100101 00100000 01010100 01100001 01100011 01101011 01101100 01100101 !*"
