[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Dragonstrike]

Spoiler

There are three things in Nathan's PC. Two are Mail. There's a card from Mom, which is quite similar to the one he gets every year - usually ranching puns. (Spiritmon, maybe you can think of one for me.)

The other is from Uncle Oscar. It says "Happy 15th!" in red ink, which your mom has tried to subtly correct with a big red marker. Inside the card is a print of a Keni Morgusi card! A Skarmory, darting down through trees, carving them to mulch as it dives! The move on the card is "Fly", 9 damage (out of a possible 10). This is a rare card design, but of course it's not worth anything as a mere print. 

In your PC you also find 5 BIG slices of chocolate Gateau! (each is a Full Heal outside of battle). All together they spell out "Happy Birthday Nathan!!" with a blue Rapidash. Its horn is a big candle, and each hoof is a smaller candle.

Well, the card from his mom isn't any surprise.

The card from his uncle is.  What prompted this?  Hmmm...he's never met anyone from his dad's side of the family before, and they never really visited the ranch or anything...

...that's a LOT of chocolate...no way was he going to be able to eat all this by himself...the blue Rapidash reminiscent of Max is a nice touch.

...and finally...that card...

...

...it's not the genuine thing, but it's still quite the sight to behold.  And it's a Skarmory too...

...

...maybe Uncle Oscar picked it out because it quite neatly mirrors Marco's Skarmory...almost.  The Skarmory on the card is clearly using FLY instead of Fly, but it's close enough.

...

Well, all this gets carefully packed away for the time being.  Back to meeting up with Shiva and Ventus at the trading card shack!  

Nathan's not in any particular hurry on the way back, but he does have a small smile on his face, and Ralts looks really happy.  When inevitably asked what's going on by either Ventus or Shiva, he just says he'll show everyone later.
