[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

Spoiler

Then, suprise and wonder strike upon another flash of white light, marking a Pokemon being summoned from its Ball. It startled her a little, and she desperately looked around to find the source - which turned out to be Nathan and a new weird version of a Bulbasaur. She only stared at it for a little, showing no reaction and giving no hint emotionalwise that may show how she's feeling towards this.....rocky version of one of Kanto's Startermon.

Delta Bulbasaur she knows, but only the version from distant DISTANT Torren, where it channels psychic power and fae magic. Cute on it's own - but still a Deltamon, sadly, which kinda deplets her enjoyment for it. This Bulba here though looked more like either a unique Delta or... right, one of these Primal Pokemon like the Southern Wind Incarnate or Primal Eevee that Professor Mallorn once told her about? While she doesn't know much to almost nothing about these, these seem to...have changed naturally, without humans and science having their hands involved or having caused it, which directly causes Shiva, known for a dislike and huge skepticism for these Delta Pokemon, to be actually alright towards Primal Pokemon. Warry, careful, but probably not denying unless there is reason to meet it with distrust.

Not letting go of Delphox's arm, Shiva knees down to gain a better and closer look at that rocky Bulbasaur, keeping her respectful distance but eyeing it with... 'interest' is the wrong word, 'acceptance and very shy curiosity' were better ways to describe her here. "Nathan....", she then raised her voice, "...if I may ask, that's no Delta Pokemon, is it? It looks more like... maybe one of these Primal Pokemon? It looks... strange. But actually quite beautiful..." *very very coy smile into Bulba's direction* "Rock Type, maybe? Is it obediant? Does it have a nickname? Oh, and....why have you released it, how can it help us right now?"

Heart happily take the two Meowth who follow him. Heart catch along with the others. Heart then was amazed by the liberation of the rock bulba. "WOWZER! NOW THATS SOMETHING ITS NOT SEE EVERYDAY!" Heart pratically yell close to Nathan, Shiva and Gallade (better have a ear protection my friends). "Where you find that odd Bulbasaur Nathan?"

Now, first of all...Nathan was completely expecting Shiva to assume that Ray was a Delta.  After all, Deltas don't necessarily all have to be the same type despite technically being the same species.  The only reason Nathan really knows Torren's Delta Bulbasaur is even a thing is because Heart had drawn a picture of one and shown it to him. 

Nathan's cringing a little because Heart yelled.  "...Heart, we're about to enter a cave...yelling isn't exactly a good idea...particularly when the wild pokemon are already on edge...I found him...nearby...not really much special about where I found him, to be honest..."

Ray looks really, really puzzled when Shiva calls him beautiful.  He's not even displaying the inside of his geode yet...he's not exactly a pretty face, that's for sure...far, far from it...(he's basically the Quasimodo of Bulbasaurs, as Iron called him)

"Ray here can help by removing the wild pokemon's advantage of the darkness entirely.  Would make it way, way harder for whatever's in there to hide from us."

He sighs.

"...yes, Shiva, he's a Primal Bulbasaur.  I don't know how the heck you managed to figure that out, but this is what the species was like a long, long time ago from what I can tell.  Less poisonous, and more...able to take advantage of light, shall we say.  Don't let the appearance fool you, he's a bright little bugger.  And the only reason I know that he's Primal is because of one itty bitty little detail: he knows FLASH.  As in, the Legendary variant that can normally only be taught by a Hidden Machine. And he claims to have known it his whole life, however long that has been.  It would be a lot easier to find our way around in there with Ray lighting the way, and we'd be much less likely to be ambushed successfully.  And yes, he's obedient.  Much more than the average Fossil or Primal Pokemon.  Doesn't seem to mind that I captured him at all."

Ray shrugs.  Eh, stuff happens.  And it's not like this is really that bad of a situation for him anyways.
