[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Lord Windos]

Spoiler

Medicham would shift Terra into piggyback mode as soon as possible. They reach the tree, Lapis just a little behind Medicham. Medicham respectfully puts Terra down now.

Medicham immediately goes over to Gallade. Gallade senses hostility, and for a moment it looks like the two will fight. But when Terra introduces them, Medicham quickly leaps into the tree and peers down at Gallade more curiously. They seem to be passing emotions back and forth with each other. Both have their eyes narrowed. Then, strangely, Medicham plucks a dried Deyo flower from within his hat/head and hands it to Gallade. Gallade accepts it with a courteous bow, but his eyes are VERY narrow. The gesture apparently means something to these two Pokemon. Lapis is awaiting an order to get between them.

Medicham does seem to recognize the necklace, and probably understands the meditation style, but it doesn't seem to be a belief you and Medicham have precisely in common. However, Medicham seems a lot more comfortable with Nathan than with Gallade now!

Shiva joins the group a little later. Medicham gives a wave, but before Shiva can wave back Gothitelle has appeared from her Pokeball. It all begins again: the two Psychics circling each other, exchanging suspicious glances, and then the handing over of a Deyo flower. Again, Gothitelle understands more from the gesture than her trainer. This time, Shiva is empathetic enough to understand something of what is going on. To Medicham, how a Pokemon responds to the Deyo flower tells him something important about the Pokemon's plans or alignment or something like that. Gothitelle and Gallade both seem to know a little too much about the Deyo flower for Medicham's taste - Shiva's best guess is that the Psychics might have counter-purposes to Medicham!

Terra gives a polite bow to Medicham upon being set down, showing he felt no ill towards them for carrying them like a sack of potatoes (as again, why should he?). 

However, their less than stellar interaction with Gallade causes him no small amount of alarm and confusion, causing him to tilt head in baffled concerned, before he flicked it over to where L.L.L. was resting, picking up their own apprehension, and jerking it towards the two Psychic Fighters. Almost instantly the aquatic serpentine being smoothly uncoiled itself and flowed right between the two, giving them both a calm yet warning looks as its humming raised a few octaves. Now now, there won't be any Fights at this friendly gathering, will there be gentlemen? Otherwise, he might have to voice his complaints on your rather unbecoming behavior.....

The psychic monk's behavior towards Nathan and Shiva served to ease his newfound worries/perplex feelings marginally, but Gothitelle forcibly introduction causing another round of that strange exchange served to magnify them to a whole new level. As for his own reaction to the Deyo Flowers (Which he failed to notice before), he grimaces at them in suspicion/fear for a moment, before his expression smooths out in mild discomfort/concern. Ven told them that Deyo Flowers were bad news, but he never said Pokemon actually carried them around.....

".......Medicham, what are you doing? Why are you.....doing things with Deyo Flowers? Why are you so....wary now? *Looks to everyone* .....What is.....going on?"

He says this in the most innocently befuddled tone you could imagine, which clashes rather strongly with how deep his voice is/how serious he usually is. How they react to that and Lapis intervention....well, we'll see shortly, I imagine?
