[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Dragonstrike]

(Truthfully, I/Ventus don't want to acquire a Ponyta for travel precisely because it takes up party slots for the group, since that is a premium resource that is about as inflexible as a piece of Titanium. I rather we get going right away and let Nathan lend out his mounts to Shiva/the others if they get tired of Metagross rough riding [Ventus won't, since he has enough durability to be unfazed by Steel type hardness] and want a change of pace. That, and the sooner we get started on this plot thread, the sooner we can continue onwards with our adventure/personal plot threads.)

(Well, Nathan only has two mounts, and one of them is his.  Swiftfire's not likely to let anyone else ride her.  Yule shouldn't mind.  Calam...well, he's not exactly a mount, per se.  Sure, someone lighter [like Shiva] COULD ride him...but that's only if he lets them, and that would likely only be for a shorter period of time [he's a cat-like pokemon, not a horse or a goat, so he's not got the same strength and stamina for carrying stuff long distances].  And again, we don't need to get Ponyta for everybody if we wait for Stable Z to show up, just those that want them.)
