[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Dragonstrike]

"Hmm? Oh... Yeah, right with giving that Spearow into Sensei's care and Azu was indeed able to learn her new newest move." Another gentle cuddle for the blue mouse! Can't get enough of those.

Other plans... "Ah, nope, I'm fine to return to city then. However... There is one place I'd like to stop by, it's on the way back. Nothing bad, nothing shaddy, it's just a woman fond of collecting all sorts of treasures from all across the region! In fact, she gifted me that shard of duskglass. She even owns a few specialities from the Skull Ruins themselves~"

She hesitated a little before speaking out the next few words. She didn't enjoyed that... But she didn't want to drag Nathan into this issue either. "Eh... But, wait a moment, there's a thing I wished to discuss with her... Again, nothing bad or shaddy. Rather a personal issue. You'd be... fine to...wait for me for short? Maybe enjoy the beachside meanwhile..."

Wait, duskglass?  Huh, well how about that...now that he looked, she was indeed wearing a shard of duskglass.  "Hang on, let me see that for a moment...huh...so this is duskglass...treat that glass shard carefully.  Those are incredibly valuable, I know that much.  They're a favorite item of move tutors and those seeking to obtain evolutionary stones, after all."

Alright, good, it was almost time for their...except...hmmm...personal issue, huh?

"Alright, I'll wait for you to finish that and meet up with ya at the beach...and then we'll head to the Center.  Conversation first, then battle?"

When Shiva nodded, that sealed the deal.  It would be easy to segue everything into the same span of time before getting to the battle, anyways.  "Alright, see ya in a little bit.  Just come find me when you're done."

Time Skip!

When Shiva eventually comes to find Nathan on the beach, he's meditating with Kirlia, to try and clear their minds of some of the invasive gloom.  Neither seem to have noticed her approaching yet.
