[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Dragonstrike]

Gallade doesn't mind the flowers so much, actually (they mean something significant to him, and it's not because they're repulsive to him.  Quite the opposite, in fact, as he finds the flowers themselves somewhat interesting).  It's mostly Medicham that he's having issues with.  There's just something about Medicham that Gallade doesn't really like...which by extension, means he's only offering the most basic of courtesies by accepting that specific flower initially, and by no means wants to keep ahold of that specific one. At least, that's the impression Nathan's getting.

Nathan just quietly sighs when it's obvious that Gallade's not in the mood to talk right now.

Quite honestly, he's impressed with Medicham for one reason: he got on Gallade's bad side almost immediately, and Gallade's physical reactions are showing it, too.

It's hard enough to get on the bad side of the Ralts line that quickly without outright attacking them or those they care about.  And Medicham just did it with enough ease that Nathan's not sure there won't be more problems in the future between Medicham and the Psychic types able to prophesize...

--------------------------

Moving on, when Heart and Spira both show up with goodies they want examined, Nathan perks up a little.  Heart and Spira would almost certainly notice that Gallade's still got his arms crossed and is a bit more standoffish than usual.  The Blade pokemon is leaning up against the tree and staring at Medicham with narrowed eyes still.

That gem that Heart puts on the ground in front of the group immediately catches Nathan's eye (and by contrast, the MSC isn't very interesting to Nathan at all).  Even disregarding the fact that it's flashing, it's definitely not something you see every day.  Unlike Heart, Nathan doesn't have any initial qualms with picking the gem up to examine it.  Does Nathan recognize what the hexagonal rainbow colored gem is at all?  And does anything in particular happen when Nathan picks it up? (besides the gem potentially flashing even faster as Nathan gets closer, I assume?)

As for the sealed pokeball that Spira found...yeah, Nathan's all up for examining that, too.  It could be sealed for any number of reasons, of course.  What would Nathan know about pokeballs being sealed like that, though?
