[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

"Ziggies, go FETCH!" She throws a shiny bauble into one of the tubes and the Zigzagoon mob it. 

"Ah, yay! I got to use Rock Smash with Mirror Move in my battle against Heart, and it was so exhilarating! Thanks, Nathan, for following through!"

"Forward, Spinda!" Spinda appears and totters forward. "No one can predict or manipulate Spinda, not even the Seikamater!"

"And if you tell anyone I own this next Pokemon, I'll Rock Smash your head! Forward...Dunseraph!"

A beautiful sky serpent appears, filling the entire room! It's the size of an Onix, but instead of being brutish, clumsy, and hard, it is smooth and graceful and magnificent. Its long whiskers tickle Nathan, and it doesn't seem to really need its luxurious white wings to fly. They're more for steering as it twists in the room, presenting itself to Tanuki and Nathan.

Though she surely sees it every day, Tanuki's face lights up brilliantly when Dunseraph appears.

"I know it's not technically a Normal Pokemon, but it actually evolves from one! Who knew Dunsparce had such potential? But that's my whole deal - Pokemon people tend to underestimate!"

"Well, Seikamater would probably still manage hit Spinda...anyways...oh my Arceus...whoa..."

Nathan's so awestruck, he almost forgets why he's even getting the privilege of seeing such a rare pokemon that he's only heard the vaguest rumors about.

"...well, I heard that Tandor's finest Dragon Tamers had Dunsparce that could fly...but it's certainly something else to see it in person...wow...oh, uh, right.  HM.  One use for the red spotted panda pokemon..."

*ding*

"...and one use for a pokemon that's as rare and powerful as the move itself."

*ding*

Nathan puts the HM away soon afterwards (hoping the zigzagoon haven't seen it yet).

"Alright, I believe that's everything.  If you could let me know when Heart's able to stand again, that'd be swell.  I need to speak to him about overexerting himself."

And with that, Nathan's done here.  On to the next day!  (I imagine Nathan will be having that conversation with Heart in the morning, given that Heart spent 4 Will on ignoring Pain and was also the target of a Legendary Psychic earlier in the day)
