[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Iron]

Nathan wanders along Murkrow Cove. Kirlia is a bit bothered by multiple things, not just the negative feelings of this city. As a Psychic type, he is used to getting certain amounts of despair from the humans around him. This is something else. It's not the same feeling of personal agitation Kirlia gets around things related to Scimitars/Almanac; it's something pervading the whole city but not targeting Kirlia personally.

As soon as Pokemon and trainer are out of sight, Kirlia's powers go off. The terrain around Nathan changes, becoming a dark and rocky landscape with sparse, dry grasses, and many cinders lying crispy and dull where plants used to be. He finds himself on a mountainside, with a view of a forest below. There is no sound in this vision; in fact, he can hear the sounds of the Port far off. He can still feel beach sand beneath his feet.

This must be one of the strange psychic visions experienced by Kirlia (or by Ralts on very rare occasions). They can relate to the past, present, or future, and they are not always literal interpretations. Terrain is an especially common manifestation of this power.
