[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Iron]

With Terra already heading off to look around, Nathan keeping Spira busy and Heart heading off to look for a Honedge or Doublade, Shiva herself felt a little lost and left alone/on her own. She shudders again, holds Lilith's hand firmly in her trembling own hand.


Only when she feels it'd be safe to approach these campers, especially those wearing tunicas and the Conkeldurr themselves as their displayed wisdom catches her attention (she also feels like being able to understand what it may try to tell), she'll do so. She mostly wishes to find out more about these campers, listen to a few stories, no way she wants to battle here. Perhaps afterwards she'll go off to search for items or berries or wild Pokemon to keep herself distracted.

The Conkeldurr you find are working together with a cloth map. They're placing dowels made of concrete on the map of west Creshire, clearly planning a construction project like a road or something long and linear. Interestingly, the humans are paying intent attention, as if they respect the Conkeldurr's opinion immensely.

Other Conkeldurr are experimenting with mud, clay, straw, water, gravel, and powders of different colors. They're doing some kind of alchemy, perhaps their namesake concrete. (Well, concrete was named for them, not the other way around). Again, humans of every rank are trying to learn from them, with the utmost respect.

The stories being told are almost always about Pokemon battles, including arena-style matchups, actual violent conquests, and lots of personal grudge matches. They seem to also have the traditional sport style you are used to. Fighting types are definitely in vogue. Steel types like Aron's line are much desired. Fire type is one of the most dramatic. The very common types like grass, bug, poison, flying, normal, ground, rock don't receive any discussion at all. Psychic is mentioned with much reverence but no trainers seem to use it. The big mount Pokemon pulling the carts don't see much battle.

You garner that their battles are probably very intense. In game terms, they will commonly use five actions even if that means just one dice remaining. Or they might use high crit moves/abilities.
