[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

That message caused the simple monk to stop in his tracks and look at it surprise, before he stroked his chin beard, looked around his surroundings for several minutes, then subsequently answered back:

'Okay. Near really tall peak of Great Divide, near large pine forest. Came to....location from Cress by...…'

Terra proceeds to give not overly detailed but an accurate description of the path and heading he took from the city to get to his current coordinates.

'....and then I came here. That is all. Understand, Nathan?'

(Looks like Terra isn't going straight back to Cress after all!)

...really tall peak...near the forest...oh, that means you're west of Cress?  Must mean you're by...Hell's Peak...that's...actually not that convenient, on second thought...hmmm...well, I need to make a few preparations anyways.  I'll meet you back at the Eastern Center in Cress, in that case.

By the way...where and when did you get a Duskull?

I guess Terra is going straight back to Cress since he's not near either of the places where it would have been convenient...oh well.  At least we know he doesn't encounter any trouble on the return trip.

Well, as for Nathan's own preparations, he needs to swap out some of his pokemon.  Gallade is ever present, as always.  He also grabs Juliet, Yule, Grid, Calam, and Solomon. On top of that, he also gives the Eviolite to Juliet and the Magic Beans to Yule. Just in case. Additional power and bulk is always handy. Notably, though, Calam's not holding his Black Glasses, because they're still on loan to Shiva for the time being. Ah well. He gets to hold the Leftovers instead for the time being.

He also needs to get some supplies: 1 Potion ($200), 1 Burn Heal ($250), 1 Ice Heal ($250), 1 Paralyz Heal ($200), 2 Pokeballs ($400), another TM for Telekinesis that is immediately getting taught to Juliet ($2800), a second set of Climbing Gear for Terra to use ($500), and 2 Ultra Balls ($2400).  Total: $7000

When Terra arrives, Nathan waves and doesn't say much about what they're doing quite yet.  "Need to head to Mt. Sentry to check something out.  No, no, not into the mountain.  Onto it.  Western slopes are where we're headed.  Here, I bought you some climbing gear.  I have my own set already."  Nathan hands Terra the spare Climbing Gear that he bought.  "Ready for a little mountain climbing, or do you need a little time to prepare?"
