[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Iron]

Kirlia teleports to the familiar ranch where he and his trainer grew up. Marta is very surprised, not knowing little Ralts' power has grown enough to reach the ranch from Stair City! She pulls Nathan into the hug.

Nathan keeps the hug going for a couple minutes.  There's a few quiet tears of both happy and sad emotions from him.

"...you're okay...*sniffle*..."

After the hug is eventually broken and Nathan's done his best to calm down, he hands over Sarah and Georges' pokeballs.

"...they...did a great job.  Were able to do everything we needed them too...and a little more."

A quiet moment passes...

"...how's Max doing?  Is he...taking it well?"

Nathan remembered that Max was particularly proud of Forthright's skill.  She'd picked up how to use Sunny Day from Max, after all...though Max really only used it to clear the skies over the ranch every so often if the weather was a little too murky for the horses' liking...

"Max is a proud horse, and a long-lived patriarch. He will be fine." She explains in her blunt rancher's way that Max has already begun work at replacing the loss - there should be a new Ponyta Egg sometime soon.

"There must be a lot more you need to tell me. Come inside and have some lemonade."
