[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

Spoiler

To Nathan: "*Slowly nods* .....Yes.....I think. Feel.....different . Tougher, Smarter, and......hardened? Weighty? .....Steely? *Shakes head* No clue which. Just know that I feel......More now. Does that make sense, Nathan?"

If Nathan's paying attention, he should see the metal knuckles that the sagely monk is now sporting, just FYI.

"*Shakes head, but frowns* No headaches, but......mind feels hazy, and *Faces scrunches up, looking uncomfortable*.....something else in it. Not sure what, but......think Deoxys.......did something? To me? *Shakes head, looking concerned and......thoughtful* Don't know.....Light makes it hard to remember.....but....not understand it? Urgh......."

He grumbles and clutches his head after he finishes speaking, looking and feeling stressed at recalling those details in his current state. Looks like  he'll need some time to clear his head/center himself before he can continue speaking about the alien supervirus without it being an ordeal for him....

Terra doesn't need the boy to incentivise him going off to confront the Steely Dino, but now he has even more reason to fight/capture it! Great!

Another flashback!

When asked whether it makes sense (particularly after Terra says the word 'more'), Nathan hesitates for a moment, then nods.  "...a little, I think..."

Nathan does probably notice the metal knuckles that Terra's seemingly acquired after the encounter with Jirachi.  Given that Terra's obviously needs a little time to digest everything so far, though, he doesn't mention anything about them yet.  All he really says in response to Terra is, "Hmmmm...well, if you feel anything else...strange, I want to hear about it at the soonest opportunity, alright?  Take it slow if you need to."
