[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Dragonstrike]

"Oh, yes, before I forget, I wanted to inform you I caught a massive Slowpoke this morning, and that I have the means to evolve it into a Slowking at my disposal. If I recall correctly, you have a deeply vested interest in history, legends, and lore in general, so would you like to discuss what should be done in regards to it? Thank you!"

Nathan's pretty dang annoyed with Skorupi, and he still isn't a big fan of catching wild pokemon forcefully, but there was no way he was going to let this Poison Fang using scorpion hang around this route.  Too many inexperienced trainers could get ambushed by it.

Not long after recalling Grid and retrieving the Great Ball, Nathan notices his 'dex beeping.  The message is about what he expected to hear, and some rest was exactly what Kirlia needed right now...

But then Ventus mentions a...Slowking?

He has to blink a few times at that and take a minute to process it.

How in the heck did he get a King's Rock of all things?!  Where's he getting all these extremely rare items from?

Bah, he could ask Ventus in a little bit...truth be told, he was actually...rather interested by this potential Slowking.  For several reasons.  Maybe, if it were evolved at Vapor Falls...

Nathan's actually somewhat eager to get to the campsite now, and not just because Kirlia needs some rest.

Though on the way there, he spots yet another item glinting in the sunlight...

Another valuable item, coming right up!
