[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

"Comparable in strength with Hyper Beam, oh my!" More dancing around with Azumarill, if Yena and Dizzy want they can join too. ^^ Tempted by all that joy and anticipitation, Azumarill looks around in search for a boulder, ball of ice or similar in the size of her own body (including outstretched ears), and if she finds one + it's safe to smash her finding without risking a cave-in, she uses her new move of Rock Smash for the very first time on it, curious to see how strong it is and whether she can break it now instead of rolling it away.

Very barely only Shiva manages to not crash into Nathan as he stopped walking. "*amused chuckling* What do I know! I didn't see it, ask Tanuki 'bout it, maybe she remembers. But thanks a lot for that hint, I'll make sure to pay that replicate of Surf in the Museum a visit once we're back in Cress City again, alongside Vaporeon! And Vulpix! And you, Azu! You're just as curious as I am now, huh?"

It was wonderful, relieving and strenghtening for Shiva to be so exubertant for only a little during that important mission and in between her big struggles with the environment, lack of daylight and fresh food, the sucessful battle against the Sableye, the following gift and being called 'worthy' of it must have carefully awoken some of her spirits again. Her mood can swing rather fastly, though.

(Dizzy chose not to learn it, actually)

*watches Azu effortlessly crush a small rock*

"...unfortunately, Rock Smash isn't quite as strong as the other HMs.  Same with Cut.  Still definitely stronger than the average move, though.  Definitely a boon to have access to it."

Nathan thinks for a moment...

"...yeah, I'll be sure to ask Tanuki about that...can't believe someone used surf at that event and I missed it entirely..."
