[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Lord Windos]

When the Corsola hesitately aquisted to his offer, Ventus started to carefully apply the Potion and Paralyze Heal, being sure to get every last injured treated. The living rock surprisingly didn't flitch from the medicine, and soon all its wounds were cured with no fuse at all. The Corsola took a few tentative step to see if she was alright, and she discovered that she could walk around just fine, began to hop around in glee. Chuckling at Corsola's antics, and glad to see that they were so peppy after her recent capture, he reached over and patted her on her head.

*Squirt!*

Blinking the water away, Ventus saw that living coral mass didn't like being touched, given the wary expression on her face. Looks like she didn't hold much trust in him yet, despite him treating her injuries. 'Well, I did just dreg her up from her home and assaulted them with a massive Arbok, so her cautious nature is to be expected. I guess I must work on my bond with her first, before I can proceed with more hands on contact,' the researcher thought, returning offending the hand to his side, and decided to simply introduce himself to Corsola.

"Hehe, sorry for my rudeness, but I usually like petting my Pokémon. It won't happen again, unless you desire it. Now, I never introduced myself, did I? My name is Ventus Zackarieh, and I'm a Pokémon Researcher! I'm here to explore the region and learn more about the bonds between Pokémon and how they interact with others, and I would love to have your assistance in my quest! Though, I can't just call you Corsola, as you now a part of my family, and every member deserves a name. Hmm...how about Ariel? Corsola are know for their healing power and comforting nature, so I believe it would be a perfect fit for you! What do you think?" he said, carefully observing the Pokémon's reaction.

It blinked a few seconds, processing all the information he sent her way, before nodding to her new master. Ariel sound like a pretty name, and she did like being compared to a healer! When she wasn't busy feeding herself, they always tried to help out the Pokémon that lived around her home, so it suited her just fine!

Feeling that she was pleased with her new name, he smiled at her and called for her to follow him. Nathan sent a text telling where he had set up camp, and he wanted to meet up with the group before it got too dark. "Ariel it is, then! Now come along, we have to meet up with the rest of my friends. Its getting dark, and I don't want us becoming a meal for some predator!" Getting nervous at the mention of hunger monsters, Ariel quickly followed after her master, surprisingly fast on land. Hustle must have something to do with it!

When he got there, he quickly noticed some very important things. First, judging by the twirling Kirla holding a huge purple pearl, Ralts had finally evolved into his second stage evolution! Second, Shiva was currently playing with the aforementioned Kirlia, and seem completely lost in the activity, judging by that bliss filled look on her face. Finally, Nathan was currently looking very confused, as if something completely befuddled him. Looking both joyful and worried for his friend, he walked up to gret him, and see what has caused him such a tizzy! "Nathan, I see that you have a Kirlia now, so congradulations on its evolution! You don't seem to overjoyed right now, though. I feel that you are confused by something, so what has caused you such distress?"
