[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Dragonstrike]

(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.

"Both need to be turned in to the League.  If you can't get the Pinsirite back from this 'Sage,' he'll have to answer to them.  Pinsirite is not only dangerous, but incredibly rare.   There is no chance the League is going to let any of us hold on to that.  I'll head back to the center of town to wait for Pinsir to show up.  If ANYTHING more happens that's related to that trainer, call me immediately.  I expect I'll hear the full story from you when you return."

Nathan wraps up the phone call before he gets any rowdier, and checks his 'dex to see Shiva's texted him to say Helios should be on his way if she can convince him to help.  He heads back to the center of town with Kirlia, Swiftfire's pokeball at the ready.
