[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Dragonstrike]

"What happened... Heart, you can withdraw your Pokemon. I'm....okay... The danger has been dealt with by me... It was a predator hunting on the Furret. This one here *another stroke for leader-Furret beside her* asked me to take care of it if I'd like to have him as my Pokemon and companion. It was a...........Ven, a real Druddigon... And two Nuzleaf minions. Unfair battle...... haaah... But I defeated and caught them a on my own, icy-cold wrath, they're taking care of now.............H-However..." Before Shiva continued, she hugged Azu a little tighter and leaned a bit more into her new Furret. "Braixen...got crunched, his arm got broken by the dragon... Cottonee suffered claw-slashes... Lethal wounds. Blood. Felt the pain of them like my own...I've sent then to Bill's PC, a Nurse Joy in Cress City does hopefully already take care of them. Ice Beam and Sonic Boom defeated Druddigon, he could have killed me if I'd get into his range......"

"C.....Can we please make our way to town? I'd like to check on them.... Azu, dearest one, before we leave, please wash away any blood stains from the floor and wall with your Water Gun."

Nathan's eerily quiet for a moment.

"...just find a good home for that Druddigon since you caught it, alright?  Someone will take it, appreciate it for what it is.  It's...not a common Rattata, after all."

...

"Starmie, help her out with Hydro Pump.  I want this place scrubbed completely clean."

"...and here I thought this trip down Route 05 would actually be enjoyable...*sigh*...silly me for thinking it'd actually be simple and somewhat fun..."

Hearing this caused Shiva to faintly smile to herself, not facing anyone in the party though but instead Azumarill. "It was fun.... This trip I mean. Got you a Dawn Stone... Got myself a Furret and defeated dragons... My fae mouselet grew up..." The thought of that Chandelure and how Apsis jumped at her darkened her mood a little, but the positivity was a stronger right now.

Not positivity that Nathan's really been able to maintain, unfortunately.

"...let's just...get out of here.  I don't want to be here any longer...tired of fearing for my pokemons' and my life..."

(I'm going to assume Valder's arrived by this point)

"...ah, there you are, Valder.  If you could continue playing escort until we reach Cress, that'd be great.  The more protection I can provide for Furret and her egg, the better.  It...doesn't feel safe here to me...like that Druddigon wasn't the only danger...so I want to get them to Cress for the time being.  Furret, this is Valder.  He's...very dependable.  And strong.  We should be able to get to Cress City's Pokemon Center without too much trouble with his help."
