[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

...aaaand Nathan's somewhat surprised again.  Aside from Alder, Wallace is probably the most vocal about being Champion given how much he loves the spotlight.  And the spotlight certainly loves him, too!  Nathan snaps himself out of his stupor rather quickly though and politely 'shuts his trap' on the matter for the time being.


On the matter of Melly:  "...oh.  That kind of overeager.  I see..."  And that's all Nathan has to say on that.  I don't think more elaboration is necessary in the case of this one.

On the matter of May: Nathan doesn't actually have much more to say on this topic either for the time being.  Not really the time or place for such long stories.  There is a moment where Nathan looks like he's about to say more...but again, he politely 'shuts his trap' for the time being.  Talking about Terra and his pokemon right now, after all, not Hoenn's most famous people!

So, different topic time!

"...would you mind if I were to sketch a picture of you later, Lapis Lazuli?  Definitely not right now.  Rain's not exactly good weather for drawing stuff, unfortunately..."

(Keep in mind that Terra was living a hermit's/monks life and was totally disinterested in the League Challenge before coming to Cheshire, so him not being on the up and up on who's important/famous in that circuit shouldn't be THAT surprising to Nathan. Oh well, moving on!)

Terra simply solemnly nodded back to Nathan, ending that line of discussion about Melly's performance. The less said about it, the less time he can remain embarrassed about it. Oh [i]Melly[/i]….

He doesn't inquire further about them suddenly calming up, but does shoot them a faintly curious look. If that was the end of the conversation, so be it, but it looked like they wanted to say more...

The living, breathing marvel tilted his head at Nathan, before smiling and nodding. He's had people record his appearance in a myriad amount of ways and never minded at all (quite the opposite, really!), so letting the boy sketch him was perfectly acceptable. Preferably while's he's in a pool of water or continuously wetted/moisten, but he could stand being drawn 'dry' too for some length of time.

Okay, so everyone wants to borrow some of Nathan's pokeballs...got it.  So, in that case, Nathan will purchase another $1000 worth of red pokeballs before we set out for Ancestor Cave (which is another 6 since there's a sale going on).  He'll loan Terra, Shiva, and Heart 2 each.  Means Nathan will likely be keeping all 5 reward Great Balls for himself since he's spending so much on pokeballs today, but we'll see how things go from here.

As for Shiva's question about what kind of Unown live in Ancestor Cave...Nathan shrugs.  "Not sure.  Laurelin didn't say.  If I had to guess, though, I'd say they're most likely Modern Unown."

Well then, I think we're just about ready to get this sidequest started!

(Fine with me, as Terra just wants to help Nathan out, and was already rewarded with a couple of Pokeballs from him earlier. That, and if things go well Terra will be getting a Pokémon that will literally make him money! Cha ching!)

(Ready to begin anytime!)
