[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Lord Windos]

Your awesome story seems to get through to Arbok. She is chilled for sure. She certainly hasn't decided she'll never eat another trainer's Pokemon, if she gets the chance and they look yummy, but you are pretty sure she understands the consequences now and will abide by the rule unless she is certain she can get away with it.

That's a pretty great start, right?

+1 XP to Arbok and to Ventus.

(Its a good start, at least! Now I have a little more breathing room for error to happen...)


Feeling Apsis' fright over the Skunktank's gruesome death, and the way she bobbed her head up and down rapidly at his entreaty, Ventus let out a sigh of relief. While he still felt some desire to snack on other people's Pokémon, his snake now knew quite clearly what would happen if she was caught red headed. 'I don't appreciate that my warning haven't entirely gotten through to her, but it will do for now. If I keep nagging her about it without a reason, she'll start to ignore me. Or worse, grow to resent me. Nobody, least of all me, wants to be in the vicinity of a grouchy Arbok, so patience is key here,' the researcher thought, giving a small smile at Apsis.

"We'll continue this conversation at a later date, but I do believe we've made some progress today, so how about we wind down with some fishing? If I catch anything I don't want, you have my permission to gobble them up. You have to be well feed in order for your strength to increase, after all. Afterwards, we'll see what else we can do together. What do you say?" Ventus asked, offering a little reward for his Arbok's understanding and willingness to learn. At the mention of fishing, Apsis immedianlty perked up, hissing happily at the though of devouring some fish. They don't why, but they have developed a fondness for river food ever since there master first let them eat that Poliwag, and they didn't want to pass up on that offer.

Detecting that his snake was on board with his plan, [b]Ventus set out to a relatively secluded spot by the river to begin fishing!/b]. Apsis follow close behind, happy to be around her generous master!

Order: Start fishing with the Good Rod I received from Delibird, and spend some more bonding with Apsis. Sharing is caring! Also, you didn't have us search for berries when we first came on the route, so you might want to correct that!)

Note: If Encounter lists updates with something interesting, I'll make a new post dictating my new course of action, instead of editing this one.
