[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Dragonstrike]

Furret runs through a tube, and comes out inside the stands.

Nathan takes a seat and puts his bag in the spot next to him.  Furret's welcome to sit next to him (and she'll get some affectionate strokes if she does.)

"The gym's kinda like the tunnels of Mt. Sentry, isn't it, Furret?  All sorts of different passages, going in various different directions and to different places...I wouldn't be surprised if it changed each day, to be honest."

He looks at Furret and Forthright, then back at the battlefield.

"...well, this oughta be an interesting battle.  Going to be a bit more intense than facing one of the Kimono Girls...I wonder what kind of specific battle style Tanuki uses..."

Oh yeah, that reminds him...he needs to send a text to Shiva

Hey, Shiva.  Forthright learned Weather Ball earlier!  She was playing 'catch' with Furret as soon as she learned the move   And also purring in contentment afterwards.  Hehehe...oh, it's so sweet and adorable to think about...anyways, whenever you're ready to get that test of the full extent of her Ability going, we can do that.

Also...when did you want to start the Electroweb tutoring?  Have to do that at some point, too.

Alright, message sent.  Now then, to enjoy this battle with Forthright, Furret, Ralts, and Charmeleon.  Oh yeah, Charmeleon's out too so he can see exactly what he might be up against later.  "She's not Dagny, but she's just as strong at the very least.  I think that'll be a decent way to test how much you've grown since your first attempts at taking on the Leader of one of the Capitols.  I definitely recommend paying attention to how Tanuki battles while we have the chance.  Rushing into this blindly will only get us so far, after all..."
