[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

Spoiler

If Valder isn't willing to help (or for expediency's sake), Ventus will also step forward and quietly say: "I'm willing help assist in....what do aim to do about Carbink again? Regardless, I still am willing to render aid. Malphena's Icy Winds are a frigid boon, and Michael can use Spore to put them to sleep if the need arises. That, and with my empathy and expertise in handling Pokémon,  any diplomatic exchange you plan between you and them, if any ,will go much smoother if you let me in on them....hopefully, anyway."

Nathan's reply is...sad. And nervous, because he's not sure bringing Ventus is a good idea since this same Carbink almost brained/skewered Shiva...

"...this Carbink is...special.  It's a leader.  And...I need to apologize to it.  That's all, really.  I don't think it should have any reason to pick a fight with us now, but I'd rather be...prepared if it's still willing to command its Geodude allies to Self-Destruct.  They were all slow, but...powerful."
