[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Dragonstrike]

"Yeah, alright, I guess it can wait...not like we're anywhere near the Skull Ruins right now, anyways..." He closes the journal and puts it away. "You'll definitely want to hear the part about the Skulls Ruins, though. First there's the fortune teller, and now there's Kirlia's vision of the Throne of Skulls...well, there's also the leading figures of the region. There's a few things that you need to know about them in the event that we meet them for some reason."

Nathan stands up, stretching. "You can head off to bed if you like, though. Let's set up the tent, and then I need to go talk with Shiva about why Ralts evolved, before I do the same." He and Ventus spend 15-20 minutes setting up the tent, and Kirlia stops dancing to assume a cross-legged, meditative pose, focusing on learning the extent of his new abilities. Illusory copies of himself can be seen flickering in and out of existence while he's doing so. The pearl seems to be doing wonders for amplifying his psychic abilities.

Nathan finds Shiva after setting up the tent, Kirlia by his side, and his other pokemon recaleld so they can rest for the night. "Look, if you don't actually know what caused Ralts to evolve into Kirlia, let's see if we can figure it out. I've never seen him that happy before, but it's connected to you somehow, I know that. And possibly the daycare and whatever that phone call you got was about. He's been really smug and happy around you since the last day we were in Ginger Town. Any ideas why that might be?" Kirlia is feeling pretty happy and smug right now, even. He's not dancing, but he's clearly smiling.
