[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Lord Windos]

That's not helping either.

"WHAT?!  Who is this 'Sage' anyways?!  And why did you give a complete stranger a MEGA STONE?!  That's an absolutely terrible idea!  There is NO WAY the League is going to allow that!  AT ALL!  Ventus, I don't know how much you know about Mega Evolution, but it is STRICTLY regulated in Creshire.  You can't even breathe a word concerning it without the League cracking down on you if you don't have the proper authorization!"  Nathan's loud outburst can be heard very, very clearly, both just outside the back room in the Center he's in and in the general vicinity of Ventus's phone.  It startles Kirlia quite badly.  He'd felt the buildup, but he hadn't expected that reaction to happen so suddenly...

He takes a moment to try and calm down.  It only helps slightly, but he does his best to regain his composure.  He thinks on Ventus's suggestion for a moment, trying to regain his focus...

"I don't know if Kirlia can sense you that far out.  Besides, even if he could, Teleport can only carry the user and one other person or pokemon, as well as anything they're holding.  If you don't have Pinsir's pokeball, you can't Teleport it and a human together.  Unless you have some other clever way of getting that Pinsir and the mega stone here ASAP, you're going to have to bring them back here yourself.  NOW."

He still sounds annoyed, worried, and rather angry.  Then he remembers something...

"Shiva has an Abra, right?  See if she can get him to Teleport Pinsir and the mega stone back to the center of town.  Yes, BOTH of them.  And then you need to return here ASAP as well.  No games, Ventus.  You all are going to need to report what happened to the League.  I suggest you think VERY carefully about what you're going to say about what happened.  The last thing you want is the League getting on your case.  Even implying what you have is enough to lose your trainer license if it's a serious cause for concern."  Back to sounding serious, but with a hint of the annoyance, worry, and anger in it now.

(Going to bed after this post, but it is sure a nice conversation!)

Ventus was beginning to become a bit distress at his failed attempts at calming his friend down, but he still managed to keep what little grasp of emotional control he has. "I know quite a bit about it, or at least more than most dare I say! While Mega Evolution was not a research topic in my university, me and the staff there received plenty of data on it. Enough to piece together its mechanics, and know that it should not be in the hands of the average person! I can't force Sage to give back the stone, however, as he may just decide to take off without it. I'll try asking for it from him, but there is no guarantee that he'll give it back," he said, not sounding very happy that Nathan's anger at him. Why is he so mad in the first place?

Letting out a tired sigh, he just shakes his head before responding to the second half of Nathan's demand. "My friend, do not worry about my statement to the League. I have experience dealing with obstructive bureaucrats and government authority. They won't suspect anything amiss from me, because I won't give the due cause to. Neither will my friends, as I assume they have my back here. All they will see is a friendly, if overly worried, researcher that is just doing his civic duty. *Sigh* I'm only trying to do what's best for you, Nathan, but if reject my aid THAT strongly, I suppose I'll have to come up with a different way to punish your attacker... I will see if I can get Shiva to aquisit to you request, but if I can't get the Mega Stone from my new associate, then Abra will just be bringing Pinsir to your location. In the meantime, I'll make my way back to town with my group, after I completed my given task here. I need the money Nathan, no if, and, or buts."

Phone still pressed against his ear, he convey Nathan demands in the most polite way possible to Shiva and Sage, trying to persuade them to the young trainer's reasoning. He only hopes that everyone will be satisfied with these dealings...!

Order: Well, try to get Sage to relinquish the Mega Stone (Using Nathan's logic), and get Shiva to lend Abra to transport Pinsir and the Mega Stone to Nathan (Abra can hold Mega Stone). After that, he's going to coach everyone into giving the same statement (or similar enough ones) to the League authority, telling them what to say and what not to say. After that, Shelmet => Money => Statement to Police => Nathan. Simple. I hope.
