[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Dragonstrike]

"I'll meet you guys at the library if you want to go and do your own thing in the meantime...I'll be fine on my own...you know I'm not one to go down easily...besides, I need to make a quick stop at the Center as well before we move on.  I don't have time to join you for seeing this 'natural magic,' regardless of what might be causing it."

Nathan's a pretty firm believer in everything having a reasonable explanation.  Yes, there were a lot of magical things pokemon could do, but aside from those, cases of magic usage, psychic powers, etc. that turn out to actually have some truth to them are very, very, very few in number.  Almost always, they involve a pokemon in some way, which certainly takes a massive edge off of how special they would be otherwise.

Nathan's going to head into town, to the Center to heal Grid and swap out the combee for Starmie and Porygon2 (and also inquire about Pinsir), then to the library to see what he can find on this 'Holon' region and Delta Species via books and online sources.  Also going to level Lore from 0 -> 1 for 6 EXP.  Assuming he has time and doesn't get interrupted by anything on the way there, of course.
