[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Lord Windos]

Noibat pops out of the Pokeball at the touch of a button.

"This is your new trainer, Noibat. His name is Ventus. Obey him as you would me, OK?"

Noibat immediately starts climbing all over Ventus. He checks Ventus' wrists - does he have a gold watch? He checks Ventus' fingers - any gold rings? He pries open Ventus' mouth - any gold teeth?

The foreman chuckles. "His time in the mine taught him to love gold. Pokedollars won't do - it has to be gold!"

Noibat hangs upside down form Ventus' arm and opens his own mouth, emitting a soundless screech. He disappears into Ventus' clothing and instantly comes out triumphantly holding one of Ventus' trick items (perhaps a Pokeball, or any of the other things Ventus is always SOMEHOW producing when they are needed!) How did he do that?

The Niobat's curiousity greatly reminded them of himself, so he didn't mind at all when they started to eager probe his person, and lets out a chuckle when they start examing its teeth for golden loot. "So this little draconic bat has a fondness of gold, now does he? I believe I have the perfect name for you then: Lucifer. It means "Light Bringer" ; a name well suited for one that seeks all that shines. Let us have a glorious partnership, my little devil!" Ventus says, scratching them behind his eye as it hung on his arm.

It let out a tiny croon at his tender touch, behind it suddenly slithered up his sleeve and started to crawl on his literal person. The researcher let out laughs as it tickled him sensely, until it popped right the collar of his sweater, holding his own Pokeball (Which Ventus already took and hid on his person somewhere)in their mouth. Quite surprised that the managed this, he let out another mirthful chuckle, patting his head in affection while returning his Pokeball to its previous place (Where? You'll never know!). "Well, it looks you know where I stash my Pokeballs now, you rascal! Hehe, let's go meet my companion, Lucifer. Perhaps they'll enjoy your antics as much as I do!"

Battle time! (Before meeting Lucifer!)

Upon seeing that it was a Charmeleon, he frowned a bit, remembering that the line carried the move Metal Claw in its arsenal. 'Still, I intended for Ariel to get some experience; I guess she'll learn now that even having a type advantage won't always assist you..' Ventus though, before commanding his Corsola, which was still out after her battle with that pesky bug, to enter the arena. Seeing that she was fighting a Fire type, Ariel wasted no time in firing off a stream of Bubbles at it, intent on dousing its flame before it can put a dent on her! She wasn't going to let some flame push her around!

Order: Have Ariel use Bubble a single time per round on the Charmeleon, until she reaches - 2 pain penalization or less (Give me control of the fight then!).
