[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Iron]

" For now...well, there's some other things I need to do today before it's over.  Gotta make sure Dagny is up to date on the situation, for one..."

If Nathan's only got one more encounter for the day, then he'll be heading off to Dagny's gym to look for her there, probably coincidentally being there when that 'special guest' arrives.  Otherwise, I'll have to think of something else to fill the remaining time until then...

All the trainers in the Fortress, other than the one that lets you in with a swipe of your Trainer Card, are clustered around a circular steel stage. A trainer in business casual, sporting glasses and gunmetal-blue-hair, is riding on a yellowish horselike Pokemon I don't think you've ever seen before. It has a steel saddle and helm, the trainer being perched in the former. 

Seems to be some kind of demonstration, for there's no opponent up on the stage. 

Inside this enormous vaulted room of steel and stone, there are many comfortable chairs and magazines (Pokemon Graph, Pokemon Pal) in a waiting area. Looks like there's an intercom system that guests can use.

Moving sidewalks lead to about a dozen different steel doors at intervals within the room. One is labeled "Training," one is labeled "Emergency Only," and the rest are blank.
