[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Dragonstrike]

It's pretty evident that you don't have the option to explore on foot. From the moment you set out, the terrain is rocky and with extreme elevation changes, loose soil, and bad weather.

Lucifer doesn't spot any approaching threats. But when the exploration party gets to the base of the interestingly shaped mountain, Orthros and Phantump give signs that they sense danger upslope. Orthros is growling quietly, and Phantump just points straight upward with one stubby limb. His eyes are very wide. The way up looks very crumbly and soft, and therefore rather dangerous even for the Metagross.

With your current source of light (just Orthros) you can't see very high up the peak.

Hmmmm...drat...well, only one thing for it, apparently...

Out comes Ditto!

...it looks rather irritated still...and it's totally still just a normal Ditto.

"Look, I know I dragged you out here against your will, but I wasn't going to let Tandal give you to some random breeder to use as nothing more than a breeding machine.  Yes, I know I said something similar, but there's...so much more you can do besides breed.  And we could REALLY use your help right now.  Could you please try to Transform into a Rapidash?  I know it's probably not going to be easy, trying to do it from memory, but we could really use a little extra light right now."
