[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

"...no, those won't help.  Telperion's studies suggest that those who get hit by the legendary FLASH HM need professional treatment and some rest to fully recover...I can...kinda see...but I can definitely 'see' why they determined that...yeesh...now I'm wondering how the heck that Bulbasaur knows the move...full powered HMs aren't easy things to come by..."



*listens carefully to the data presented*

"...huh.  That's a lot of light based attacks that it's got there...must like bright light a lot...he'd probably get along very well with Forthright, too..."

*listens*

"...well, let me think about that for a little bit.  This Bulbasaur...it knows an HM...even if it is the weakest one...that's still...really, really useful...and he definitely seems like he can hold his own, too...there's also another task I can complete to get that Claw Fossil revived...I need to consider keeping this rocky Bulbasaur around, to be honest...Laurelin isn't in any rush, and I kinda want to talk to the little dude before I decide anything..."


...then he gets a little...nervous as soon as Terra mentions Duskull.  It's fairly obvious because Nathan immediately stops mid-eye rub and starts listening veeeerrry carefully.  Anyone looking at him can tell that something definitely caught his attention just then.

"...yeah...better...do that..."

"....Okay. Tell me if you do need anything, Nathan. Will help the best I can."

At the confirmation of ANOTHER Illusion species of Pokémon, Terra is briefly startled before becoming quite intrigued, uncrossing his arms to started stroking his beard in thought/interest for a bit.

"Hm......interesting. What are Zorua and Zoroark like, Nathan? Might want one, if they sound like good Pokémon. *Beat*…Please? (…) Oh, and would.....Juilet *Pensive look as he memorizes her name* like some marshmallows? Sweet treat help calm Pokémon down, from my.....experience."

Nathan looks in Juliet's direction as best as he can.  "...yeah, there's another one.  Two, actually.  Zorua and Zoroark.  Hadn't ever heard of Juliet's species before I met her, though...she's usually a little shy, but...guess she either isn't too worried right now...or she just can't see you."

The mountainous man simply nods his head and re-cross his arms in response to the clever trainer's decision, for as far as he was concerned P-Bulba. was their Pokémon to do with however they want, be they keep or give it away. Given how much he deliberates over a multitude of things, he perfectly understand their desires to mull things over first, and is more than willing to wait!

Nathan suddenly freezing up did [i]not [/i]go unnoticed by Terra for once, as even an unInsight man as himself can tell when someone's bothered (most of the time, anyways). Partly because he's rather keen on people's/Pokémon reaction when focus on them......and partially from experience, due to [i]repeatedly [/i]being the cause of striking discomfort/negative feelings in others. Woe be his social skills, for they are terrible indeed!

*Suddenly looks worried AGAIN!*

".....Nathan? What's wrong? …Did I....say something that....troubled you? *Appears thoughtful briefly* ….Was it....about Duskull?"

Oh dear. Just when he was starting to [i]really [/i]bonding with them, he goes and puts his foot in his mouth yet again...
