[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Dragonstrike]

"Nathan, Stable Z lost only one member, a Rapidash named Forthright, and saved countless lives. When you speak to your mother, be sure to express my thanks. We couldn't have done it without her, even if you had completed your mission."

Forthright, the Rapidash from Stable Z known for her straightforward strategy of Sunny Day followed by Fire Blast...gone...Nathan has to take a moment to process that...

"...she'll be dearly missed...I...I hope she's watching, wherever she is now..."

Nathan fiddles with his necklace again, taking a moment of silence to pay his respects to Forthright...he hugs Castform closer...

"...Forthright.  That'll be your name, my little cloud...in honor of the one who gave her life so we could continue ours...may your Sunny Days shine as bright as hers once did..."

The cloud pokemon probably doesn't fully understand right now, but whether she does or not, her presence here has helped to keep Nathan from breaking down.  The support of both Kirlia and Ventus helps too...

After another minute or so of silent respect and wishes, Nathan's calmed down enough to continue the conversation if Dagny has any further questions or needs some clarification. He's definitely holding on to Forthright and the Primal Altaria Down she's wrapped in a little more tightly, though. Not too tight, but definitely still noticeable.
