[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Dragonstrike]

"Even though I don't have to, I WANT to. Taking that kindness without giving it in return isn't healthy...huh? What's that light?"

Nathan can only smile when he notices Raphael glowing with that same evolutionary light that Ralts almost a week ago, his previous train of thought having departed entirely. The scene was almost a perfect replica of what he'd felt in the moment Ralts had evolved...the surprise at the evolution, the happiness that soon followed from both trainer and pokemon (which was also the cause of the evolution), and the pokemon enjoying its newfound power and form...

True happiness was a rare thing for him these days.

But this moment described it perfectly.

The appreciative friends (even if they were at odds as often as they were best buds), the pokemon all enjoying themselves, the pure bliss of not having to worry about anything...yup, not even Absol was on his mind right now. He had enough time to worry about that tomorrow. If it wasn't going to show itself today, why worry about it now?
