[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Dragonstrike]

Emolga waits patiently for Nathan to finish, and gives him a few beats after he's done. He smiles, and tells you a story of his own. Who knows what you might be able to learn if you could understand it?

Yup, who knows...

Nathan has a small smile on his face again regardless.

"Ya know, that's another way you're like my dad.  He always took the time to listen...and he'd always have some stories of his own, too...he never seemed to mind taking the time..."

...

"...it'd be nice to have someone like that around again...it's been three years since I last saw him..."

"...I don't know.  Maybe it's a bit selfish on my part, I guess...but I definitely haven't felt this...at ease in a long, long time..."

...

"...just a bit more.  A bit stronger.  A bit faster.  Another gym badge or two.  Maybe three.  And if dad hasn't shown up by then...I'll try and find him myself.  Regardless of the lack of clues.  He has to be somewhere..."

"...you're probably good at spotting stuff and fending for yourself, right?  Could I ask if you could...help? It'd have to be long term, but...I could use all the help I can get, really...and it'd be nice to have someone who enjoys conversing around for sure...some extra company is never a bad thing...I know that's probably a lot to ask, though..."
