[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

Shiva has never heard of these curious Pokemon called 'Aotius' and 'Mutious', but she enjoys the sound of these names and is smart enough to assume that these are again Pokemon from Tandor. From the way they are described, probably even Legendary or Mythical Pokemon. Later when she's alone again, she'll check whether her Almanac has data of Tandor's Legendary Pokemon as well, simply out of curiosity. Her answer to Nathan's riddle about these two would be Reshiram and Zekrom.

My answers to the several riddles

Heart's 'Family': "Its a member of the family. It is son of my father and mother, but its not my brother or relative. Who am I?" "Hummm....", is the initiate sound that escapes her. "You can't really be a Pokemon held as a pet and friend like me keeping Spectral, as it's not related in blood. Unless you mean the aspect of seeing one's own hatched Pokemon as your own child, in which case my answer would be 'A Pokemon that you hatched from an Egg'. Second call would be a stepson or stepdaughter, as they aren't related but do belong to the family still."

Heart's 'Nature': "I am everywere. From the most hight sky, to the dephs of earth. I the source of all life, and without me nothing can live. I always change my form, but my essence remain the same. Who am I?" "Haha! You're Earthpower, are you?"

Heart's 'Mystery': "When I’m first said, I’m quite mysterious, but when I’m explained, I’m nothing serious. What am I?" "That one sounds tricky. But I'd say you're a joke."

Nathan's 'Potential': "My friends are my strength, and without them, I can't grow.  I'll only give my best for those I truly know. I care for all, but am still hurt by those who don't care for me.  If I'm not truly happy, my growth is stymied. Which Pokemon am I?" "This one sounds mysterious, I like it. My first thought was Unown, but these actually don't care for us or for 'all', I'd guess. Absol sounds like a potential answer to me as well, but these lead a lonely life and don't really grow when they're with others - but they care for all as they warn people of disasters. Noble Zygarde springs to my mind as well as an answer, but this doesn't feel right. My final call would be, well... Simply a Ralts."

"If that's wrong, please reveal it, k?"
EDIT: Oh, indeed Ralts.

Slaking: "I don't know anything about these Scimitars except they sound like hooligans. I'll have to trust your judgement on that. But I can give you feedback on wording and such...as soon as I wake up from my nap. For example, I've heard the Mystery riddle before, so it's possible the mages have also heard it."

At first, Shiva just stares at Slaking, feeling a tad bit dishearted as she was hoping that he could tell them which ones would be most fitting to protect precious Atheneum or match the style of previous riddles. But, oh well, guess they have to decide on five riddles then!

After some more scribbling and hasted noting on another sheet of paper, Shiva somewhat meekly hands it out to the others. "Alright, ehm.... These are the riddles I'm either enjoying the most or am feeling that the Scimitars will struggle with most for its own reason. Please tell me what you think, and if you all agree with the choice, let us bring them to Slaking for possible refinement and setting, shall we?"
