[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Iron]

Celebi glows a little hot with rage. The Gauntlet trembles a bit in response.

"I would never appear to those who would commit such violations! And one day, perhaps, when the time is right, we shall confront them."

"Yes, Mesprit, could help them. As can I. As can I. Bring Solosis forward."

Celebi gestures and rises into the air. Its wings shimmer, the antennae twitch, and the Pokemon spins around. A little sprinkling of dust falls over Solosis, who is still unconscious. A troubled expression suddenly appears on its face, then relaxes into that of someone experiencing a happy dream.

"When Solosis wakes, most of its memories will return, aside from the horrible experiences that shattered the Pokemon's consciousness. So, too, its free will, just as you three humans have been blessed with superhuman will."

"If the Scimitars gain access to the Gauntlet, their ability to sow pain will be increased, for the Gauntlet gives power according to the stature of the pilgrim. They may even succeed in removing it from this place, if they come adequately prepared, and wielding it as a weapon. Please...do all you can to stop them, for me and my kind have not yet completed our observations. We cannot yet act."

"I can think of no way in which I can help the others of Solosis' kind, unless they are here with you now. The Relic Stone in normal spacetime is something of a one-way trip. The only ways to leave this realm are by failing the challenges of the Guardians, or through the Atheneum's power. The Librarian will know all about that. And soon, the Relic Stone will shift with the violent whims of Mt. Sentry, and you may not be able to find it again."

"One gift more I offer you, Solosis..." This last part is quiet, whispered toward Solosis' mind, barely audible to Nathan alone. "A device in the Atheneum, built by one from your time, is able to strip away the enslaving power of the Apricorn. Ask the Slowking with the Delta-Shellder crown for help with this device."
