[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Dragonstrike]

"Yeah, Hidden Abilities are a thing here.  Not always what you expect, though.  Once saw a Wingull with Water Absorb, believe it or not.  Wouldn't have even known if Kirlia hadn't Traced it and subsequently been hit with a Water Pulse.  One of my companions also has a Wobbuffet with Telepathy, and another an Espurr with Own Tempo if I remember correctly.  No idea where she got him from, though...oh, but regardless of that, rare abilities aren't the only strange things about some Creshirean pokemon.  I think you'll find my next pokemon...interesting.

"Good job, Solomon, but now you need to bow out with your strongest attack possible.  I'd like to see your best Water Gun. Or maybe you have a better idea for a last hurrah?  Either way, let's try and make this as easy on our next friend as we can, since he'll be at a slight disadvantage."

A Single Water Gun
Accuracy: 7 Base - 3 Pain = 4 D6 (shame this can't crit because we scratched the +2 accuracy for single actions in this campaign :/ )
Damage: 4 D6 - 1 Damage

And when Solomon inevitably faints:

"Well, Solomon did well, all things considered.  Shame I'm not going to get to translate that text tonight.  Gives me time to set up what I need to for that, though, so I guess it's not completely a bad thing...anyways, next pokemon.  If you could, go a little easy on him, Sheldon.  He's likely a little out of practice because he's been cooped up in his pokeball for two weeks straight out of necessity, except when I needed to care for him."  

Nathan's finally, finally got that Flash Ball in his palm, ready to throw.

"Alright buddy, this is it...I trust you.  Let's finally stretch your legs a little."

And then he throws the Flash Ball.  The image of complete darkness saved on the pokeball is shown for a brief moment when it bursts open, concealing the contents for a few seconds...

...and when it fades, standing there is Orthros, the Delta Houndour.  And he's stretching, relieved to finally be free of the confines of his pokeball.

"I can almost guarantee you're not going to see anything exactly like this anywhere else, so let's have some fun, shall we? You ready, Orthros?"

Nathan's now probably baffled Sheldon (and possibly the crowd as well) twice in the span of 5 minutes.
