[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Dragonstrike]

Spoiler

You woke up in the East Pokemon Center, so you have to cross the city to get to Route 12/13. As you journey west through Cress City, you pass under the shadow of the hill with the Dilapidated Shack. On that street, two houses stand out:

One is very small, but it's built quite high, almost like a tower. It has a gothic feel to it, especially up near the attic with its many windows. The construction looks like that old style which lasts forever, but isn't ostentatious.

The house immediately beside that one is a more modern style, but looks like it's been well-lived in for many years. It tickles Nathan as familiar!
In an instant, it becomes clear that Nathan has seen this in a few photo albums, for a man looking quite a lot like Marco Warren emerges and hollers "Nathan! Nathan Warren, is that you? It's me, your Uncle Oscar! Wow, I haven't seen you in probably a decade! Or maybe I'm misremembering? Sure feels like a decade, anyhow!"

Well, this is awkward...: Wandering Ampharos - Pokemon Super Mystery Dungeon

And thus, Oscar looks kinda similar to Nathan as well since Nathan looks a lot like his dad.  Except for Nathan's eyes.  He clearly got those from his mom.

"...oh, uh...hi, Uncle Oscar...I, uh, think it's probably been a bit more than a decade, actually...I, uh...didn't know you lived in this part of the city...*ahem*..."

Gallade chuckles, claps Nathan on the back with one hand, and waves to Oscar with the other.  Shinx...well, he just kinda continues sulking in the background.  This doesn't involve him (yet), so he's gonna try to stay out of it if at all possible.
