"Huh.  Did Melly just use Flamethrower?  Cool."  Gallade chuckles and makes a so-so gesture with his hand to Nathan.  "No?  It's not Flamethrower?  But it looks exactly like...oooohhhh, wait a second...Hidden Power, isn't it?  That's even cooler."



When shown the gemstones, Nathan eyeballs them for a moment...

"...well, if Lapis Lazuli's Hidden Power is anything like Pay Day, you probably could sell them if you gather enough...small gemstones are good for making jewelry and stuff, too."  Nathan's necklace clinks quietly as he talks.

He swiftly pockets the Dull Premier Ball once it's handed to him.  "Glad he didn't have to push any panic buttons.  Also good to know the Unowns' collective HIDDEN POWER seems to last less than 2 hours...don't have to worry too much about anyone stumbling on an angry Legendary unexpectedly..."

...and when he stops thinking to himself, that's when he notices Terra looking Heart up and down, and then staring at [i]him[/i].

"...what?  I know basic first aid.  Administered it at the soonest opportunity, before any lasting damage was done, then took him straight to a professional.  Besides, you had more pressing things to worry about at the time.  Didn't want to worry you unnecessarily."

"*Nods* Yes. Was surprised her H.P. was like that. *Chuckles* Melly was excited about it. Gave her whole bag of marshmallows to 'practice' Move with (He smiling wryly as he says that). Was very happy to do that , he he he...."

The lightning wolf lets out an enthusiastic *Woof!* in agreement, the sound muffled by all the sugary fluff in her maw. Yeap, she was MORE than willing to 'train' with her absolute FAVORITE treat as the 'training aid' ! She can practice her HP Fire by toasting them all, before she has to 'clean up' the sweet, goopy, and sugary 'mess'! Yaaaaaaay~!!!

Nathan's assessment of Lovely's HP Rock managed to cause the simple monk to blink a couple of times in realization, before he started to stroke his chin beard thoughtfully again.

"Hmm.....you are right. *Nods* Will start collecting the gems now. *Shakes head* ...Need someone to cut them right, though. Raw small gems not very valuable, until prettied up right, and made into luxury products...."

Shiva and Heart might be caught off guard by Terra's Knowledge concerning things of fiscal/wealthy nature, but not Nathan, given he knows the most about his background.

The boy's mumbling about the Genetic Unown and MEW caused the content joy to fade away from Terra briefly, as it was replaced by utmost grave seriousness and solemnity as he nodded.

"No, they will not."

Their next comments afterwards only caused the mountain of man to frown at them admonishingly, before closing his eyes and *sighing* , grumbling wordlessly to himself. While he can understand the reason they surreptitiously left out that tidbit and accept it somewhat, its was hard for them to feel any less annoyed at them for it. One does not omit details like that, especially since Heart's injuries would have served as a 'nice' example of how 'right' his earlier decision at the time was. Hopefully they don't make a habit out of that, because he doesn't want to have a reason to dislike or distrust them any....

"Besides Terra, I already get worse conditions before: Hand almost squished by a rock pokemon, eletrified by a eletric energy of a eletric pokemon, receiving some psychic attack of a Ralts. I get used it to some situations so no need to worry about me."

The rare collector's comments snapped Terra out of his irritated fugue, causing him to gaze over at them in a mixture of pure surprise, uneasy amazement, and undisguised reservations, before he covered his face with his great big slab of a hand and let out what sounded like a muffled groan. Ven said that Heart was a bit.....danger prone at times, and he had an inkling of that himself after they all but forced his hand in accompanying them as they waltzed into the Skull Ruins, but he didn't know how bad it was until he heard that choice snippet of hazardous Encounters from the man himself. Something tells him keep them safe and unharmed will be quite the challenge. Oy vie......
