[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Dragonstrike]

"Hearthome specializes in Ghost, and it's where I trained." Spira takes Toya's pokeball out and lets him out. "Toya, I know you tried to eat this earlier, but do you think you can hold this seed without eating it?" The Dusknoir puts a hand to its face, thinking, then nods. "The four badges on my coat are ones I earned here in Creshire. He points to Cress City's badge, "I got this one from Ettie of Cress City, the other three are from (Iron only told me the Cress City one, so excuse the creative license here) Corsage, where I started my adventure in Creshire, Botanville and Ginger." (If those cities don't have a gym, please correct me on this so I can keep my posts accurate.)

"...huh.  Guess that means Hearthome has been using that type for well over 100 years, then...that's interesting to note..."  Nathan pulls out his journal and writes that down somewhere.  Given he just said some might call him an amateur historian and how protective Nathan was of that journal the 'prior day', Spira can probably assume that's where Nathan keeps most of his historical notes.

The appearance of a Dusknoir surprises Nathan a little.  Spira had been using so many unevolved pokemon that he hadn't expected a very strong, 100% fully evolved and rather disobedient Ghost to show up.  It seems well mannered for now, though, which helps Nathan remain calm. Gallade's relaxed for the time being as well if Dusknoir isn't likely to be causing any trouble.

"...Ettie?  I feel like I should know that name...hmmmm..."  Nathan flips through his journal again.  "Botanville, Ginger, and Corsage as well...hmmm..."  What kind of stuff might Nathan know about the histories of those gyms, @Iron?  Would be interesting to compare it to his knowledge of the present day gyms.  (And by extension, what does Nathan know about modern day Botanville?)
