[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Lord Windos]

One sailor offers $950 for the Dragonair statue, after some haggling. Turns out he swears he saw a Dratini keeping pace with his ship once, and no one believed him. He's had a soft spot for the line ever since, and he recognizes it as antique even if not a fancy one.




Sailor Loon decides to battle Ventus. "What would you like to wager, Doc? I've got a Machop and a Poliwhirl itching to battle!"

While Ventus was still concerned with Nathan behavior as of late, he still had business to conduct for the day, so he left the boy to brood for the time being. Still, their unknown plight was still deeply bothering the researcher. 'Oh dear...it must be serious if the boy is completely denying and stonewalling my attempts at communication, even if he knows that I know that something is amiss. I did say I would delay my inquiries until a more appropreite setting, so all I can do for the moment is bind my time.'

Taking to the sailors about his statue, he got an offer from one gentlemen interested in the piece. After a bit of back and forth on the price, he reluctantly accept the offer of $950 from the seaman. "While I am loathe to part with such a beautiful piece, I have to meet ends meat somehow. Take good care of this piece, and may you find a Dratini of your own to adventures on the high sea," he said, exchanging the ceramic Dragonair for the cash. As an native Opelucid, it hurt to give such a prized item away, but it was necessary in the end.

The researcher, once he cleared his head of funk concerning his recent cash exchange, decided that he need to train his Pokémon more and attempt to ganer more wages, so he decided to search out another sailor, this time for bout of combat. A Sailor by the name of Loon- 'a rather ominous name, thinking upon it' - eventually answer his request, and ask for the wager. "Hmm...how about we make it a double battle? I'll put $450 Dollars on it, so what do you say?"
