[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

Dunsparce crawls up to Terra's feet. It's still too little to "fly." It wraps around him somewhat automatically - its instincts are similar to a reptile rather than a cuddly mammal, but unlike reptiles it definitely feels familial affection. Its skin feels tough and slightly scaly but smooth overall.

His smile grew warmer as his winged snake 'embraced' him, rubbing a hand across her blue/white stripped back and hearing them coo affectionately in response. Anubi, finishing his inspection, gave them a comradery pat on her and an ever so slightly infectious grin, and returned to stand by the monk, paws on his hips to strike a courageous stance that looked adorable next to his giant of a master. Yeap, they definitely passed his scrutiny with flying colors (as he didn't get the urge to wallop them even once!), so welcome to the team Dunsparse! We'll have LOTS of fun and great battles together, so you can count on that!

Terra didn't say anything to his little one for a time, simply enjoying this unique, tender, loving moment so long as he can, caressing her and  sharing a caring gaze with her all the while. Eventually, he did break that comfortable silence , voicing what he'd been pondering until then.

"Your name will be Angie. Because you are my little angel. Taking care of me, while I care for you too."


He bent down to reach for her, gently picking her up and cradling her in his arms. The blue bomber took this opportunity to hop onto his shoulder, reclaiming their perch on the mountain to tower above all others. Then, Terra rose back up to his full height, and gave his seraphim to be a simple, yet friendly smile.


"Let us go now. To meet with my friends, and...…show them to you."

Saying that, the rugged wanderer made his way back towards where the rest of the group was now lingering, eager to introduce his little one to them all. A great big man, with a fiercely cute little dog on his shoulder and a cuddly chubby baby snake in his arms.....what a sight that will be!

*Flashback End!*

(Since he has Angie out in his arms for now, the rest of the group can react to her as they please, if at all!)

Terra finds a crate, looks like it's been abandoned in this ditch for a long time. The planks are all rotten and no branding of any kind can be seen on it. The contents are untarnished, however: Shiny Dwebble shells! Where Dwebble's secretions touch these rocks, they become a glow in the dark yellowish green color, almost emerald. The ten shells are worth $15,000 total.

The martial monkish man was pleasantly surprised by the good fortune he'd invariably stumbled upon, taking on of the SDS' in hand and gave it a thoroughly appraising glace, before nodding in satisfaction and started stowing them away on his person.....somehow. Well, not before he had showed them off to his baby snake and rascal jackal!

"See this? These are pretty hermit crab shells. All of them worth lots of Poke, I think. What do you think about them, Anubi? Angie?"

Anubi would just maybe want to chew on them, at best. They don't have an interesting aura without their inhabitants. 
Angie would be a little more interested, because she has an instinctive interest in minerals or other things that might be found while tunneling out a huge mazelike nest underground. So she just kind of investigates them with half-cracked eyes.
