[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Spiritmon]

Spoiler

As for the pokeball, Heart inform the team about what is the mysterious pokeball. "Welp, I guess what you find Spira it's a special of Pokemon. During my research about Deltamon and Tandor Pokemon, I find some kinds of different Pokemon very uncommon in many regions: A Grass/Fire Pokemon called Fritiki, the "little Master of Evil" Mynian, along with others. I also discover some strange and odd Ghost-types."

Heart then points at Spira Pokeball. "That's pokeball... have a Linkite. The chain Pokemon. Pokeballs have some sort of lock who can stop a Pokemon from trying escape though... and this poor guy was locked inside of it...and...die." Heart make a hurt face. "A Linkite it's the soul of a Pokemon who die in loneliness, despair and sometimes even hate by his trainer. They sometimes takes the form of a doll from substitute as main body...it's very much sad actually. But at the same time, Linkite its a vengeful pokemon, who will try anyone who disturb him. Even using killing methods. Thats problably why that pokeball its tight seal, to not free such vengeful and dangerous pokemon. Humanity sometimes it's the worse. Its times like this I agree with "N". Maybe the pokemon race would be better without us."

This discussion is probably before Nathan tries strapping on the gemstone, I imagine.

"...Linkite...look like Substitute dolls?  And they're...dangerous Ghost types?"

Nathan looks to Gallade, who's still eyeing that sealed pokeball warily...he can feel that Gallade is...tense.  Not really afraid at the moment, but...definitely tense.  Whatever's in that pokeball, Gallade would prefer it stays in there.

Something about Heart's description of Linkite rings a few bells for Nathan, however...

"...that...sounds like some stories I've heard, thinking about it again..."

Still a few bells ringing, though...Nathan has to think about that for a few minutes, but he HAS seen a pokemon that sorta fits Heart's description before...

Kind of.

'...hang on...a substitute doll...hmmm...wait a second...that...also sounds familiar...'

Nathan looks at Gallade to see if he's thinking the same thing.

Gallade nods.

"...Juliet...when we first met her, she disguised herself as a pokemon that looked like a Substitute doll that had been chained to its pokeball.  It was...unsettling, but also...really, really sad...thinking back on it, seeing a pokemon like that so far underground is just as weird as it is unsettling, but Gallade was getting along so well with Juliet that I just didn't think about that much at the time..."

It's hard for Nathan to imagine such an innocent looking pokemon being violent.  Impossible, though?  No.

Not if the pokemon felt it was abandoned or killed in cold blood.  Or similar.

He's not 100% convinced there's a vengeful Ghost in that pokeball yet, but he's reasonably certain there might be, based on where Spira went and how Gallade is reacting...he just need some confirmation for his suspicions...

"...you found that pokeball in the wreck, Spira?  Did you...see any dates listed anywhere while you were over there?"

"Thats...actually make sense. If I recall right, the Masking species have special powers. They one of the few pokemon who have two powerfull abilities: The Ilusion powers who only the Zoroark species can. And access to the move Transform, who only a few pokemon can have it: Ditto, Mew and another Tandor Pokemon called Duplicat."
