[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Dragonstrike]

For a finale, Jolteon allows the tackle to carry her up high into the air, where she does a flip and lands with her feet primly on the ground - the actual ground, as Magnet Rise ends.

"Nathan Warren is the victor in this ceremonial battle," croaks the old man, and rings a small gong. Your opponents courtesy deeply to you, and the Kimono Girl gives you a very polite peck on the cheek and a lovely red flower. "Red is the color of victory," she says. It has a little Pokeball decoration clipped to it, emblazoned "K."

The crowd claps very politely, and the ceremony is over!

A man comes out of the white building and approaches Nathan.

"We make video recordings of all the dances, and pass the best ones on to show up in a compilation later. We pay $600 for the rights to each trainer's video, if we find their Pokemon's performance beautiful. We also sometimes crop the trainer out of the shot, so let me know if that is necessary. This is all entirely voluntary and you do get a copy after three days of post-processing."

He hands you a form to sign, explaining everything he just said.

Nope, no dancing from Nathan.  He just lets the pokemon handle it.  He does bow at the end of the battle, though.

Nathan very visibly blushes when the kimono girl pecks his cheek...and then proceeds to examine the pokeball decoration pinned to the red flower.  K...heh...how ironic...

"So...what's the 'K' on this pin stand for, if I may ask?  Oh, and the video's fine.  Don't have to crop me out either."

He signs the paper, obviously.
