[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Dragonstrike]

Spoiler

Ventus has no problems with the young scholar carrying the HM, as he knew with their deep appreciation for the past that the borderline mystical contraption was in well kept in their possession.

"I have no objections to you being responsible for it, Nathan. Before you put it away and we move on, though....."

The researcher then turns to glance at his brother Michael, who was no doubt looking at the HM with an awed, captivated look like all other.

"May I use it to teach my brother Rock Smash? In fact, we should all teach whatever Pokémon is capable of learning the Move ASAP, as it will prove invaluable in clearing our way through the remainder of Mt. Sentry depths...."

"...sure thing.  Let me try and figure out how to work this thing real quick...hmmm...maybe Solomon could help...in fact, he'd probably want to learn the move himself just for the virtue of having it...if he asks to try it out himself first, would you mind waiting a moment?  And if anyone else wants to give it a whirl, we should be able to teach the move to as many of our Pokemon as we like."

(I think Solomon should be able to learn the move since Slowking can in the games.  @Iron, am I correct in the assumption that we'll be following the listings on Bulbapedia for teaching HMs?  If so, Yule and Calam (and Dizzy) could learn it too.  And a bunch of Nathan's other pokemon, but those 3 are the ones we have on hand from Nathan's pool of pokemon currently.  That list would also include Mr. Finder's Growlithe, too, and I wouldn't complain about giving him the ability to use it as additional thanks for his help/apologizing for getting him in such a dangerous situation)
