[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

Dizzy's reaction is interesting - he's out, and listening intently. But instead of growling or frowning, he looks cheerful and thoughtful. If you saw a human with this expression, you might think they're interested in buying some Almanac goods or supporting the company. Dizzy's infiltration instincts are kicking in!! Before too long, you've seen him slip into the foothills.

"ABRACADABRA, ALAKAZAM!" A score of voices cry out dramatic magic words. Suddenly, the eight trainers disappear in a puff of smoke. Circles of stars fly from the smoke, encircling all the Pokemon that were out.

Arcanine, Sandslash x2, Nidoqueen, and Fearow became enchanted!

The ray of stars missed Vigoroth. Dizzy takes the opportunity to walk through the loop of stars that missed Vigoroth, and a look of confusion crosses his face too. Shiva, Gallade, and Calam (and therefore Nathan) all realize Dizzy is faking it! 

As the puffs of smoke clear, eight hooded figures are revealed where the trainers used to be. They have the now-familiar gauntlets, though clearly an earlier design. They're less steely and more leathery. In the foothills, you hear the cries of Flora and the bikers entering combat, as well as the sound of discharging Pokeballs. Sounds like more spells are being cast up there, too.

You're now surrounded by hooded Scimitars! There's time to send out a Pokemon each before they can cast another spell. There's not room for 10 Pokemon in this small circle, and the Scimitars are blocking you from summoning anything behind them, so just one Pokemon apiece please. Unless they have 3 base HP or less, in which case they are small enough to summon two.

Gallade's already out, so I guess that's the pokemon Nathan's gonna have to go with!  Gallade was probably ready, too, given how carefully he was analyzing the situation.

Calam's still in his ball for now, but he's ready to come popping out as soon as he can find a good opportunity without it getting too cramped!

"...alright, first you drive a man deeper into the Ruins, and now you ambush all of us in an attempt to keep us all quiet?  You're really asking for it now, buds.  Gallade, let's get 'em!"

And Gallade is more than happy to oblige, as he's already in a combat stance.  Shame he didn't have time to learn Drain Punch this morning...guess he'll have to find some other unlucky targets to practice on later after he's mastered it.
