[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Lord Windos]

After saying some last words of encouragement to Shiva, Ventus enters into the Gym himself and makes his way towards the audience section of the stadium, where upon he swiftly spots the young scholar and his gaggle of widely assort Pokémon, which included......Charmeleon? That sight and sudden realization of why they were together caused the researcher to pause for thought as he viewed the fiery lizard and the boy, a ponderous look overtaking his smiling expression.

'So his comments earlier about obtaining another Fire type were not just idle chatter, I see. Hmm.....I believe the two will make a good enough match, as each other's stubbornness and fierce drive will motivate them both to constantly accel and improve without giving in to each other's capracious attitude. That, and Nathan does have ample talent in caring and raising his Pokémon while also bringing out their inner strength, so Charmeleon will certainly not be found wanting in some aspects! At least, I hope that will be the case!'

With that brief analysis out of the way, he was once again smiling as he practically glided towards the area Nathan's enterouge was sitting and found himself an empty seat nearby, settling into it and lavishing some attention on Plusle and Minun so they didn't get too rowdy before the main event. Once the mice were becalmed, he then released Lucifer with a casual flick of his wrist, where upon the devil bat proceeded to let out a happy little *Screeeech!* upon full materialization and shot off into the air to preform some loop de loops and corkskrewed in the air, as they were still very much energetic from all the cotton candy they chowed down! Ven could only fondly chuckle at such cheerful energy, before they beckoned him over and onto his lap, were upon they received a much desired head caress (Oh how he loved head rubs!) with a pleased croon and intrustructions from their master.

"I had planned on using you during my battle against Dagney my brother, but her own plans dismantled mine own and forced me into using an alternative strategy. Victory was achieved regardless, but I still feel a bit rueful that you were denied the chance to shine on the battlefield, so I thought to repay this misfortune of circumstance by having you with me by my side as we cheer for Shiva's own Gym match! Now, I know your are intimidated by her, but she's needs all the support she can get for this battle, so would you do this for me please? I promise you an apple if you need anymore incentive!" (Reaction, Iron?)

Once that was settled, the sociologist turned his focus on the area, already giddy with anticipation to see his dearest have her chance to demonstrate her artful and devious prowess against the Steel Wonder! He did spare enough attention to engage in some idle chatter with Nathan before the match, however!

"I see you acquired Charmeleon for yourself, Nathan, and it appears you two seem to get along warmly. Splendid! If you need any help discipling him or advice on how to better care for their needs, I'm always delighted to render aid an assistance! Given their species carnivorous diet, I'm also willing to hunt with him to provide proper substenance, along with your Galvantula, so don't hesitate to ask this of me!"
