[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Lord Windos]

"Now for my part in all this. A Gym Leader from a distant region, Sheldon, will be mobilizing the defense of the city itself. I will lead the offensive front personally. If you're planning on a rapid journey, I can loan you three Metagross who will obey you unfailingly as far as navigation is concerned. I wouldn't attempt to use them in battle unless it's an emergency, though. They can travel with extreme rapidity along the Great Divide, for it is mostly ferromagnetic. In other words, their feet can attach to it, even upside down or sideways. Two of you can fit on each Metagross with room for supplies."

They will be here around noon. Metagross will not be inside a Pokeball, so they won't count against your party limit, but Ponyta would have to. If any of you have fire types you'd like to leave under my command, I promise to treat them well and assign them only to the most competent of trainers."


(Pokemon can sense what's going on outside their balls if they've a mind to, so perhaps apologizing to Kirlia isn't a bad idea).

The Steel Wonder's war strategy brought a smile on his face to his face, as with two Gym Leaders leading defensive and offense fronts with one of nature's most sturdiest type brought much ease to his worrisome spirit. Her offer of Metagross mounts earned them an even more cheerful, his mood elevating at the faithful show of support for their own quest. "This is a most generous offer, and I would be more than welcome to borrow a Metagross for expedient travels through the region! Its been quite some time since I've worked with one myself back in Unova, but hopefully my experience and foundness for Steel types will enable me to cooperate with it most effectively. I thank you for the help, Dagney...."

Her offer to for their Fire types in order to combat the Vine caused the empath to briefly hesitate for a moment....before he flicked his wrist to palm Haneal's Pokeball and offering it to her. "Here. My Pokémon are like family to me and I care for them deeply, but with the threat that the Vines poses....how can I deny such on offer? Take good care of her, Dagney."

The comments concern the Shelter/Elanor and the...subdued reaction from the Gym Leader quickly caused the sociologist to explain such actions to avoid tensions from mounter further. "Shiva and I are currently working at the Shelter as part of an agreement to obtain a Gothitelle and Kingdra for ourselves, respectively. Seeing as the situation with the Skull Ruins has worsed to a significant degree, however, we may have to break our agreement or come to other terms if we want to swiftly make progress on solving this problem. If its possible, however...could you help us expediate obtaining Kingdra and Gothitelle? Both are extremely powerful and versatile fighter regardless of discipline, so having them on our quest would greatly increase our odds of success...."
