[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Dragonstrike]

Spoiler

The sagely monk appeared surprised for a moment at the boy's somewhat begrudging statement, before it transformed into pure joy as he widely smile and bowed to the in gratitude.

"I am glad. Great honor to be compared to your mother, so thank you for.....kind words. Will do my best to.....keep living up to.....expectation and her goodness.'

Oh dear, now THAT is a one heck of an contrary reaction! And probably one not to Nathan's liking, given who he is and the context surrounding his statement....

Terra quietly listened as the scholarly trainer hypothesizes the reason behind the R.R.'s reactions towards him and reveals his distant blood ties to the great Sammy , looking mildly intrigued throughout it all. When they request he not idolize him for his lineage, he tilted his head curiously at them, then closed his eyes in thought for a few seconds.......before looking back at the boy, and nodded.

"Hm.....okay. *Shrugs at this point* Would not treat you strangely anyway. You are a good, kind, and smart person. You are.....moral and just. You are friends to many......and you are my friend. Those are what matters about you. Not your nobility. That is all, really."

Aww.......now ain't that sweet!

As for the conversation surrounding the Sealed Pokemon, the rugged wanderer tenses himself and looks more serious when the possibility of it containing a dangerous Ghost type, but he doesn't say anything and only listens on, since he believes this isn't that concerns him. His personal sentiments were just to dig a deep enough hole a bury the Seal Pokeball in it to permanently curtail any threat from it, but he knew that nobody would support such a callously pragmatic plan, so he kept that to himself. Beyond that, he also believed that Spira could amply handle the threat posed by the seal Ghost with her own possie of spirits, and that Nathan + Heart could defend themselves perfectly fine without his intervention, and so did not interfere. Everyone had already proven themselves to be both competent and strong, so their was no need for him to treat them like fine china at this point/situation......right?

...yeah, Nathan has to resist the urge to facepalm.  That definitely wasn't a compliment.  Gallade quietly sighs and gives Nathan a pat on the shoulder.

Nathan can't really be mad, but...it's definitely at least slightly frustrating for him.

-------

No verbal response from Nathan on that, but it does help bring a small smile back to Nathan's face.

-------

Ironically enough, that's exactly what was originally done with the sealed pokeball, given the context of the situation...

"Well, you the guy who know more about Saminarok things, so yeah, you can keep it. But you will owe me a Pokemon and a training session Warren. I kinda curious to test my new found fire power." Heart snap his fingers and summon a little flame from the point of his finger who quick disappear. Shiva might now have see now. "Huh. I can get to use it."

Nathan puts the gemstone in his bag, in that case!

"...and I'm still looking forward to that battle.  You just tell me when you're ready once we're in an area where we won't have trouble healing our pokemon."
