[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Lord Windos]

Seeing that the Mega Pinsir was finally put out of action, Ventus let out a small sigh of relief, before focusing his attention on the drowning man once. 'Judging by flashes on light I saw during the battle, I would say that he was trying to retrieve his Pokémon, and perhaps somehow escape us. That is not going to occur on my watch,' the researcher grimly though, deciding to change his initial plan of action. Seeing the rodents scurry back to Shiva, and hearing her plea for mercy, he looked a bit downcast at what he was about to do, but he went through his action regardless. Whatever it takes to protect his friends, he will do, no matter the cost.

"Apsis, return to shore with Pinsir, and make sure its tightly wrapped up while you ferry it to me. If this person want to retrieve their Pokémon, they have no choice but to come to us. If they attempt to summon anymore Pokémon , or tries to interrupt your transport in any manner, immedianlty clamp down on the bug's skull with Ice Fang," he loudly says, making sure that his voice reaches everyone in and around the lake. Bobbing its head up and down in confirmation, Apsis began her swim back to her master, hoping that bug's foolish master tries something. She hadn't eaten since yesterday night, after all!

While Apsis was making her journey back to Ventus, he flick his wrist again to retrieve a Pokeball from...somewhere on his person, and quickly depresses the button. Out popped Ariel, who blinked curiosly at the new surrounding, before turning somewhat grumply to her master. Seeing how serious he was jolted her out of that state, however. "Ariel, I know you do not exactly respect me much, but I have an important job for to conduct. I need you to dive into this lake, search for a robbed man, and bring them ashore. I believe he's a possible threat, judging from the emotions I picked up from him earlier," Ventus said, sternly looking at his somewhat errant Corsola.

While not on exactly good terms with her new master, she knows better than to challenge him in the mood he's in now, so she gives a cry of affirmation, before waddling over to the lake. Seeing both Pokémon doing their perspective tasks, and coming to the conclusion that the battle was more or less completed, Ventus used his free hand to retrieve his phone from his pocket. Turning over to Shiva, who was still clutching his arm protectively, he gave her a comforting smile.

"Be calm, my dear friend, for I believe that this battle has been terminated. I'm going to give Natha a call, informing him that we were held up by some ruffian, and that it might be some length of time it takes before we meet him," the researcher told her, patting her shoulder gently to assure her that all was well in the world. When he flipped open his phone, however, he noticed he gotten a voice message from the young trainer in question several minutes earlier. "Strange...what provoked Nathan to message me so earlier?" Ventus said allowing, angling his phone so that he and Shiva could listen to whatever notice the boy had sent. If it was important enough that caused Nathan to actually call him and leave a message, it would only be fair to let the young lass in on the details!

Music: Uh oh.

A few click and a minute or so of tensing spoken words later, and that smile on Ventus faced was completely erased. In its places was an angry scowl reminiscent of the one he gave that bog wizard so long ago. 'I knew it, that trainer is a blight on this region! The boy doesn't outright say it, but I can tell this Trubbish bag deserves no mercy for trying to destroy my companion. He will pay for his transgression, as no one dare harm my friends without CONSEQUENCES,' he though, letting out a snarl while snapping his phone close. The researcher has some very important questions to ask that man now...


Order: Have Apsis bring the fainted Pinsir to me as Insurance that the man doesn't just try to run off, and has orders to kill it if said man even attempt to interfere with the transport. He will also have Ariel dive into the lake to search for the man, and bring him back if able. Now that Ventus is caught up with that person's activities, he not going to be such a nice guy for now. At least, not with them.
