[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

Move tutoring:
(1)(4)(6)(5)(5)(2) (1)(6)(5) = 6 successes

Gallade's seen Drain Punch in action lots up to this point since so many pokemon in the party (Dittolune, Pancham, Michael, Viktor...) have been able to use it, which probably contributes at least a little to how successful this session was.  However, every time he throws a punch and thinks he's got it (gotta account for the snake eyes somewhere...)...the energy fizzles out mid punch (kinda similar to James's Cacnea in the anime), and the action simply becomes a much weaker Strike.  It's a tad frustrating for Gallade, since he knows he should be able to use this move, given enough time.

He won't let that frustration get the better of him, though.  So once the training's over, he shakes Viktor's hand, gives him a nod of thanks for the assistance in the training, then sits down and meditates, thinking about how he might improve the technique the next time.

Nathan joins in the meditation for entirely different reasons, trying to not worry too much about the impending meteor strike...



In any case, Nathan returns Viktor to Heart soon after the training is done.  Gives the collector a nod of thanks, then returns to his own musings along with Gallade.

Heart nod back in his head and give Nathan a weak punch in his shoulder, trying to make him better. "Don't worry to much about that Nats. Its only a matter of time and a little more training to Gallade learn the use of Drain Punch. You are a great trainer, you gonna success my friend. Gallade it's a very lucky Pokemon to have as a trainer and friend."

With that say, Heart return Viktor and take Koa back. He sit on a rock and watch his pokemons.

(@Lord Windos this is a good opportunity to Terra talk with Heart and have the healing threat for Mawile!)
