[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Lord Windos]

Spoiler

Nathan's in the lobby first thing in the morning, waiting for everyone to gather for the trip to Ancestor Cave an hour north of Cress City.  Something seems to be on his mind, but he doesn't seem to be willing to voice what it is.  (Again, I'll flashback to the previous night at some point to address why this is.  Maybe tomorrow IRL)

His lineup is simple: Gallade, Ray, Grid, Calam, Solomon, and Juliet.  Same as yesterday with the exception of Ray replacing Yule.  Calam's got his Black Glasses back, and Ray is now holding the Leftovers.  Nathan also took the time to teach Ray Rock Smash last night.  (The rocky saur was more calmly intrigued at the sight of the strange machine than anything else)   Gallade is still the only pokemon Nathan has out for the time being.

Once everyone is gathered, he makes sure to update everyone on what exactly his mission is.  "I need to bring Professor Laurelin 5 of the Undersized Unown that live in Ancestor Cave.  It's fine if you KO them to make them easier to catch.  There's 5 Great Balls at stake in addition to the revivification of my Claw Fossil.  If you want to help me out with catching some undersized Unown, feel free to."

He also needs to do a quick shopping trip before everyone heads out: mainly, purchasing 5 Pokeballs for $1000.  Just in case.

The scholarly boy would actually find Terra in the lobby already, Dunsparse Egg in his lap and eating his customary breakfast of fruits and oatmeal with his blood brother Shiranui and Mikey the martial mushroom, as the monkish man was a habitual early riser that got up and ready with the sun daily almost without fail. He gave them a friendly wave and smile when Mikey nudged him and pointed them out, but decided to leave them to their own privacy until the rest of the group arrived after noticing they how.....contemplative they looked. They looked like they were weighing something heavily in mind (A process he himself was personally very familiar with), so he thought it would be best not to disturb him. How thoughtful!

 His Pokemon party composition where the following: Shiranui, Basteele, Mikey, Melly, Lapis Lazuli, and his Dunsparse Egg. Shiranui was staying with him for obvious reasons, Basteele since she was a natural choice in taking down Psychic types like the Unown, Melly and Mikey for their Status Moves and sheer POWER, and Lovely as his ever present beautiful ace in the whole and for his useful Spread Moves. Since this wasn't supposed to be a dangerous trip (relatively speaking), he decided to carry his Egg along with him.

Once Nathan briefed everyone of the details of his task for the good professor, the rugged wanderer nodded his head and stepped forward to stand beside them.

"Understood. Will help you catch Unown first, before catching any Pokémon for myself. *Turns to regards everyone seriously* Friends, if you get into trouble or need help, tell me. Or come to me, so I can help. My duty to protect you all....but can't be everywhere. Will be with Nathan, though. You can tell him about any trouble, and he will let me know too. Okay?"
