[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Iron]

Just as swiftly as his Dragon Djinni of the Desert returned with a Hard Stone for him, Terra promptly handed it back for her to hold once he recognized what it was. She DOES has Rock Slide for it to power up, to the point it becomes her most powerful Move regardless of STAB! Mikey could also have used it....were it not for the fact he only had eyes for his Toxic Orb.

When Geodude comes/brought up to him (Genie could only have carried them!), the simple monk gives them the best smile he could muster in this situation (His lips barely twitched upwards, but the severe air him does lighten a tad), offers to give them a ride (IE: Picks them up) if they want, and otherwise doesn't mind their presence much.

Nearly falling flat footed to at punji trap does a far better job of snapping him out of his seriousness, a brief look of surprise and panic flooding his expression, just before valiantly Melly rescues him! He blinks a few times as hit lays on the ground taking in what happened, before he, takes a deep breath, stands up and brushes the dirt of his cargo pants, and then turning and to give his Electric Fenrir a very fond and loving head rub with a clear grin on his face.

"Good doggie. You are going to get half a bag of Marshmallows for this, Melly."

Needless to say, she was plain ecstatic with THAT reward!

Celebration (in the form of Terra being overeagerly being tackled and slobbered by Melly) were interrupted when they all sighted Duskull and the child Nuzleaf it was stalking. Everyone entered back into Serious Mode instantly, as the mountain of a man snapped his arm out and pointed at two, his tone almost grim as the Ghost/Dark types before them as he issued his commands.

"Genie, pin Duskull down. Melly, protect the Nuzleaf, or chase them off, then assist Genie. Go."

Order: Genie will zip off to Duskull and attempting to Grapple them 4 times a 'Round' , while Melly will go off to both Alert and guard/drive away the smol Nuzy. If it runs off, Melly will do her part in making sure that the spooky specter can't escape again by cutting of escape rights and dispelling/warping shadows (Via sparking up electricity.) If it looks like Duskull would escape and its within Terra's Pokeball range, he'll simply try to return them. If Geodude wants to help, that is entirely up to it, as Terra won’t order around a Pokemon that isn’t his own. Time to capture the objective, no matter WHAT.

Using Manectric's electricity to ward off shadows is a great idea. Manectric finds it easier to scare off the little Nuzleaf, which seems rather cowardly when alone. Nuzleaf flees deeper into the forest and if Genie can manage to Grapple Duskull while Manectric is sparking the shadows, Terra will be within range for a Recall.

(6)(5)(1)(3)(2)(6) (6)(3) Duskull was blocked!

(6)(3)(3)(5)(5)(1) (5)(4) Manectric destroys the shadows with a blast of electricity, and also physically blocks access to any walls. Zoooop! Duskull was recaptured, finally!

Manectric and Genie gain 2 more XP. Terra gains 3XP.
