[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Dragonstrike]

Surprisingly, the little lizard seems interested in staying in shape, too. Even though it seems verrry lazy.

Gotcha! Jungore was caught. Nathan earns 4XP.

2/2/0
Battle Armor
Rock Throw, Bite, Bide, Low Kick, Iron Defense, Rock Slide, Focus Punch
Jungore holds 20XP, ready to be used.

Golden Fist will be a Power 3 Fighting version of Pay Day when he learns the move.

There is one other difference in Golden Fist compared to Pay Day: it's a Fist based move, and thus makes Contact.  I do have one other question about Golden Fist: can it auto generate cash the same way as Pay Day?

Welp, cat's out of the bag now.

The brown and yellow lizard pokemon with purple highlights is...

If Shiva had known what this pokemon was, I imagine she would have been much more interested in it earlier since the Fortune Hunter had previously expressed interest in finding a pokemon made of gold.  Nathan didn't know what this pokemon was either at first...but then he visited the museum in Cress, where it very clearly stated that Sarimanok imported Jungore and Majungold from Tandor just to show off that he owned the incredibly rare, nearly/already extinct species.  And that Gold Fossils have not ever been found in Creshire.  Or at least, none of them ever made the history books, having all been sold on the black market until the species went extinct from being cannibalized for their gold (which Nathan does know about, he just didn't know anything about the species beyond those rumors about pokemon made of gold being sold before he visited the museum).

What Nathan's found is evidence that Jungore DID once live in Creshire...

...and an opportunity to help bring back the extinct species.

Needless to say, this encounter was 100% right up Nathan's alley, even without considering how insanely valuable a Jungore is.

He smiles.  "Glad to hear you find my request reasonable, Jungore.  We'll keep ya in shape and safe from anyone that would want to take advantage of ya just because of your monetary value."  Jungore probably doesn't understand the part about monetary value, but it'll probably get the gist of it once random people start making a big deal of the gold that's naturally a part of its body... 

Jungore is going in a standard pokeball for the time being, but Nathan might be changing that for a different, more special one later.

Being a lizard-like pokemon is probably where most of its laziness comes from.  The fighting type is where the desire to stay in peak condition probably comes from.  Not surprising for Nathan, given that the museum told him exactly what type Jungore was, but it might catch those who don't know off guard!  This little lizard is about to become a swift, fine tuned battler thanks to Nathan's training regimen!
