[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Lord Windos]

Ventus pays absolutely no mind to the Absol (Despite their belief, he means no harm to their trainer, and can quickly contain the Dark type if need be) as he has his hands cupped under his chin, evenly regarding the young boy in front of him with not an hint of malice, or any emotion at all. It took the empath a minute to think over his response, before they closed their eyes and exhaled quietly.

"That is a loaded question, and an imprecisely aimed one at that. I'll answer it anyway, though, since the concerns you are currently having are...somewhat unfounded. If its about how I obtained the Dubious Disk, do not worry about that. I traded away my newly Kangushkhan to one of my new associates I made in Cheshire some undisclosed time ago. They wish to remain anonymous, and I will respect their wishes, as they have done the same with me. They supplied me with both the Upgrade and Dubious Disk for your Porygon, all via trades of rare Pokémon in hidden locations. Shady, perhaps, but far from illegal. Have Kirlia do an empathetic scan of me right now, and they will say that I speak the truth. I wouldn't lie to you in the first place, but you have every reason to distrust me and more, so having that much as evidence would quell suspcions I hope."

The researcher? then re-opened his eyes, and gave Nathan an appraising gaze, before continuing. "I sense that is not the only concern you have about me at this present time, though. ...You are wondering if I am who I claim to be, are you not? That I'm not a Pokémon Researcher, but something...different. Less wholesome, to be polite about it. I'm not a telepath by any means, but your feelings of uncertainty, the fear you hold for myself, and the topic at hand makes it all to obvious to me. I'll alievate those worries of yours now, Nate: I'm not a criminal or felon. Not at this point of time, anyway. If the Unovian authorities ever caught wind of what I disclosed to you on Silverfish, that status would swiftly change, but I'm no criminal," Ventus said, before letting out a sigh, his face suddenly looking decades older as he remembered his the old days. "...Not in this present time, I'm afraid. I've...well, their is no real subtle, eloquent way to undisclosed this to you, so I won't attempt so."

"I may not be a criminal now, but I once was. I am a former member of the original Team Plasma, Nate. Take that as you will."
