[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Dragonstrike]

Porygon Z spins around his central axis like a vortex, proud to have "finished that rabbit off." Nathan's Pokedex starts playing an old Wailmer Fudd cartoon theme.

Sid launches a piece of food wayyyy off into the distance. In an instant, still sped up by Quick Attack, Swellow has gone beyond the horizon in pursuit of it.

"Swellow surrenders. Speed isn't everything, as I already knew. Great fight, brother, you nailed it! My adrenaline...through the roof right now! Here's the prize purse, and here's a high five....too slow!" He skates off, happily.

'Well, he's certainly a busy bee.  Didn't even give me a chance to say anything in response...'

And a moment later, that same cartoon theme starts playing again...

'Huh?'

Upon checking his pokedex to see what's going on, he finds it's an incoming call that he just missed...seems Porygon-Z accidentally changed the ringtone on Nathan's pokedex...

Well, he'd deal with that in a moment.  Who's it...from...

Oh.

Yup, Ventus was less than pleased...

A quick text back is all Nathan sends in response.

Fine.  Meet me at the Center's back room ASAP, then.  Same one as before.

___________________________________________________________________________

Nathan heads to the Center's back room immediately, grabbing Calam and Starmie in place of Swiftfire and Yule while they're healed.  

Nathan summons Calam and Starmie, and instructs them to be wary.  If either Orthros, Shiva, Ventus, or one of their pokemon start acting aggressive, they might have to get involved.  Nathan also has Calam, Starmie, and Kirlia buff themselves with Swords Dance, Harden, and Calm Mind respectively, just in case.

Orthros is sitting there quietly.  Nathan's trying to explain to him what's going on to try and ease things a little.

He really hoped this was going to go okay.

When Ventus gets there, he's going to find Nathan caring for Orthros (feeding, playing, petting, etc.)...who'll likely promptly yelp and hide behind Nathan when Ventus enters the room...
