[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Dragonstrike]

Helios obeys Shiva's last command, and instantly brings Nathan to the Ginger Town Pokemon Center.

No sign of vines here, but Zamboni is outside his gym talking to a Ranger.

"Thank you, Helios.  I'll let you get some rest now."

Nathan recalls Helios, and then Kirlia's quick to take his place without needing any prompting.

'Well, at least the vines don't seem to have gotten past the mountains yet...that's probably going to be a big obstacle for them...I'm sure they'll get past them if given enough time, though...better get a move on...though I am just a little interested in what Zamboni's discussing with that ranger...'

As he passes by the gym on the way out to Vapor Falls, he makes sure his new fedora is partially concealing his face (a good hat, or lack of one, can make you look vastly different, after all).  Maybe he could catch a little of what Zamboni was discussing with the Ranger without the gym leader recognizing him as he passed by...if not, probably not a big deal.
