[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

"Just Flash Fire. They were bred to have a few unique moves, like Detect. I'm not much into it, though - it takes a particular kind of trainer to time a Detect just right. My other Pokemon have much more aggressive special moves. In the end, it's the trainer who earns the victory, not the Pokemon! Well, credit should be spread about more than that, actually. But really, that bond, you know? Better bond, better battle."

Firestone tells you about the place where Valder is training right now, but warns that it's a secret. He can also answer any questions you have about the places listed in the first post. And he gives you some cafe recommendations, such as the Technophile Cafe, where every surface is a fully programmable computer screen and your waiter is a Porygon.

"Ah, I was wondering if it had that or its species Hidden Ability Guts, given the tenacious spirit and power I felt from them, but I suppose I was mistaken in the end. I also tend to dislike Protection style moves, unless its blocking a fully Lethal Move or something like a Hyper Beam, the later of which I've had the dubious honor of being pelted with them by Gyarados. I agree with you fully: the stronger the bond, the better results you achieve with your Pokémon! After all, my dear, cute sister wouldn't be as lovable as she is if it were not for me nurturing her strength and her connection with myself!" Ventus said, patting the scales of his slightly singed snake, who slithered to his side once she had finished basking in the cheers of the crowd and her victory of the fiery fox. She fully leaned into his comforting touch, enjoying her master's praise and affection with a fanged smile and a happy *Hiisss!* , thankful and very much appreciative for her trainer's hard work and dedication towards them! No one can beat her him, not with a long, drawn out, and grueling fight, and she excels in those.....

"(Hearing about the Secret Training Grounds and Cafe) Oh my, now those are some interesting pieces of news, and I thank you for sharing it with me! I'll keep it in stricted confidence between us, alright? Oh, and my thanks for providing me with more info on Stair City, my friend! Hmm....what can you tell me about the Disobediance Shetler? One of the areas I specialize as a Researcher are Disobedient and unruly or viscous Pokémon, so learning more about the place that care for them would both sate my curiosity and find enlightening! Some information about what unique Items (Ones that pertain to Pokémon Training/Battling) being offered at the Department Store would also be nice to have as well!"
