[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Dragonstrike]

As good a strategy as using Screech is, it doesn't help Nathan with ignoring his headache any.

You're cutting this close.  

'I know.'

It's a wonder you haven't lost any pokemon yet.

'I know.'

So what are you going to do?

'Just be quiet.  You're not helping.'

Kirlia's Report: Same as before, but now with added concern.

Shiva's relying on Ventus to get through this, and he's gladly providing that aid.

'So?'

You already know why they're so close, you know.  I don't know why you need further proof.

'What nonsense are you babbling about now?'

Just consider what you've experienced and compare it to how they've interacted.  Maybe what you'll find will surprise you.

'...'

I'm not joking, you know.

'...just...shut up.  I've got a battle to focus on.'

Kirlia opens an eye to look at Nathan.  Hmm....it doesn't seem like he's in trouble...maybe a bit unstable, but it seems like he's going to be fine...Kirlia drops a little of his focus on Nathan.  He could feel Nathan would have need of him for the battle soon...

Nathan assesses the situation.  Grid's rather wounded, Porygon-Z is paralyzed but not crippled, Michael is almost out of the fight and rather crippled, Plusle is untouched...this wasn't so bad so far, despite the ginormous risk of Michael's continued usage of Facade...this looks completely doable.
