[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Lord Windos]

Spoiler

After having now HIM gratulated on his success of Potion-Brewing (she couldn't help but to chuckle to herself at the thought of Ven brewing stuff with a kettle and an open fire, carefully adding ingredient after ingredient before an Eureka!-moment occures), she simply listened as to what he himself experienced yesterday's night, and the more the told her, the more her smile and warmth and joy got lost into the haze that pestered the swamp outside of village, making room for a feeling of being...exhausted. Sad, maybe worried. Yes, actually kinda worried. A very very bit of impatience as well, as Nathan clearly told her he's doing fine, when he seemingy was not and again decided to shoulder everything on his own without even having to do so... It took a while until she replied to Ventus in a lower, more serious tone. "...Yes,  we can and should pay him a visit once we conducted our business here and found a trader for our Pokemon. We all need to discuss what to do next now that we arrived at the village anyway. *sigh, she didn't even cared to hold it back* Is it just me, or has he not really learned from the last time a similar thing occured? My, my..."



++++++++


Whoops, from all that asking questions and pondering about the Southern Wind she must have accidently forgotten that Professor/Reverend Cottonwood was offering them trades of known and popular Starter Pokemon for their Carnivine and Pineco.
 Good thing Ventus brought her back to earth by asking her a question, which she only realized after having stared at him for a few moments in suprise. "Huh, excuse me? Ehm , which one...caught my interest... .... ...I'd actually enjoy to have one of your bred Chikorita. You coincidently have a spare female exemplar on hand? I enjoy how this Pokemon can calm others by the sweet scent and probably taste of its leaf...Females are known to do better on this, yet unintentially, presumably due to natural pheromones they emit during the warm seasons. A Bayleef' shed spicy leaves are incredibly valuable for brewing, but I sadly am unsure what an be brewed how with them, as I only found half-truths and rumors on this. A Meganium is such a beautiful Pokemon, Ven, isn't? Calm, yet proud and being able to both restore deceased plants and health... It'll certainly be helpful if I start growing my own arrangement of herbs, flowers and berries."

"*Sigh* My patience and tolerance for his inclusivity and stubbornish is even thinner than yours Shiva, believe it for not, but let's remember that, despite how mature he acts, he's still just an socially awkard adolescent boy at heart. One with almost unimaginable amounts of pressure and stress to solve this prophecy before those Vines engulf Stair City in their entirety, and has demostratively poor control over his emotions without Kirlia assisting him. *Sighs even harder* Like it or not, this is something we just have accept about him in the end if we are to be able to provide the support he'll need. But that is for another time; let's worry about trading our Pokémon away for now."

Hearing Shiva's suggestion and fascination with the Chikorita's line's natural medicinal qualities/capabilities , he suddenly and inexplictly recalled the fact that he didn't give her anything from his Running spoils waaaay back in Ginger Town, and felt a little ashamed of himself for not doing anything about that. Then, he recalled his recent promise to re-celebrate Maril's evolution with her, and connected it to his prior recent recollections/revelations, and in had a brilliant flash of inspiration.

"In that case, Reverand, would you accept my Carnivine in exchange for your Chikorita.....and give it to this charming young lady here? I owe quite a lot to her, and her trust companion Maril just evolved the prior night, so what better way to show my appreciate for both events than gifting her with a Pokémon that has caught her interest" Ventus said with a affable smile, motioning towards his friend and holding out the poisonous flytrap's Pokeball out in front of the man. Well, he sure hopes she enjoys this surprise of his!
