[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

'If that is where I am, then yes. Okay, meet you there.'

A moment after that message was sent, another one came about their inquiry into his spooky spector.

'.....Skull Ruins. Couple of days ago.'

The simple monk reaction of being gifted Climbing Gear from the clever trainer was one of stark surprise, eyebrows fully hiked up, lips widened out, and eyes wide open. Seldom was that he received ANY stuff from others without having to earn them first (in one manner or another), so just being given something so useful as this for practically free....it was a shock.

Never the less he did halfway snap out of his daze to answer Nathan's question with a dumb nod, packing away the climbing gear into his cargo pants.....somehow, before entering into the Pokémon Center in order to access his PC to reconfigure his party into the following line-up: Shiranui, Anubi, Lapis Lazuli, Genie, Melly, Mikey. He then rejoined the boy, still looking a bit out of it, but no doubt ready for some more extreme hiking.

".....Ready, Nathan."

Order: Follow along Nathan in his Encounter, and help them out all he can. Teamwork is best work, especially in DANGEROUS terrains.

No response from Nathan after Terra says he caught Duskull in the Skull Ruins.  Which could mean a few things.  It took Nathan a few minutes to process that information.  And by the time Terra meets him at the Center, Nathan's focus and cheer doesn't seem to let on how...unnerved he was by Terra's comment on Duskull.  Just so you know ooc.

Nathan leads Terra towards the western slope of Mt. Sentry!  It's time to hunt for that strange Bulbasaur!  Nathan explains more of the mission to Terra on the way there.  Including explaining what a Bulbasaur is to Terra and what they normally look like.

"...so, in order to revive the Claw Fossil I have, I need to complete this task for Professor Laurelin.  So we need to check out the western slopes of the mountain, see if we can find it, and bring it back to the professor without fainting it.  She wants it to be agreeable as possible so it doesn't give her as much trouble while she studies it.  Though, if we do faint it...there is another mission I can take.  A relatively easier one.  So even if we do faint it accidentally, there is a backup plan...I brought some status inflicters and some Ultra Balls, though, so hopefully this will go relatively smoothly once we find the strange Bulbasaur in question."

Primal Bulbasaur mission, start!  Nathan has sharp eyed Grid and experienced Calam out to see if they spot anything out of the ordinary as we start looking around the western slopes of Mt. Sentry!
