[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

"I wish I could hug you over the phone, Nathan. Maybe it would help if you told me about some adventures you've had recently. And remember, Ralts...er, Kirlia, is there to help you too!"

"Yeah, he..uh...almost wasn't...he's fine now though.  Only a few bite marks left on his arm, now.  Going to have to be more careful around those Rattata in the future...though that one we faced was...rather large.  And aggressive looking.  Nasty looking rodent, too.  Got rid of it quickly before it did too much damage, thankfully...pretty thankful it didn't do anything worse...

"After that all happened though, I actually threw a bit of a party for us three trainers and all our pokemon.  Had a lot of honey to go around.  Everyone seemed to enjoy it a lot, just relaxing and snacking on some sweetened treats...Swiftfire played a round of tag with Shiva's Fennekin, and also gave her Plusle and Minun a ride, surprisingly.  Grid seemed to absolutely love the honey, being a bug and all.  Zippy and Princess were rather happy with making sure everyone was enjoying the honey...and double checking that they all knew it was them who gathered it all.  Staryu...well, Staryu was unreadable, as expected of a starfish pokemon, I guess.

"Oh, speaking of Staryu, I gave it the choice to evolve just 20 minutes ago.  Had a Water Stone on hand from the Spring Festival.  It ended up deciding it wanted to get stronger now, I guess, so it's now a Starmie.  It'll continue to be a strong team member, I'm sure.  Particularly since I'm planning to take on Corsage's Gym tomorrow."  

It does help a little, talking about the good moments.  Kirlia relaxes just a little bit.
