[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

"Minicorn looks something like a Ponyta, though its alignment is Fairy rather than Fire. Some take on Dark allegiances when they evolve, but they can still breed with other Minicorn, with Ponyta and her ilk. The role of each Egg is to one day breed, when the Time is right. It is my hope that each infant Pokemon will learn the abilities it needs to pass down to strong progeny who can repopulate Creshire with their majesty."

"Magikarp can evolve in several ways, all of which involve fulfilling a fairytale. That is why I guard it. It seems in your time, the humans have forgotten these tales, but the Magikarp have not if Gyarados is still present. Maybe that is for the best."

"Absol is not endangered in any time, for Absol can foretell disasters and avoid succumbing to them. That is probably why they avoid humans. However, their dark angelic form is often endangered, for it requires specific circumstances of love and connection to be sustainable, and too often they are vilified by unthinking humans."

That's all definitely very interesting for Nathan to hear.  He doesn't have any further comments on Minicorn at the moment, but it's defniitely caught his interest, given that his mom breeds horses for a living.

"...maybe it is.  Gyarados are very...violent compared to most other pokemon in our time, after all.  Only the most skilled and dedicated people can even attempt to tame them."

"...too true.  One of my friends is an Absol.  When I met him, he lead a whole horde of his species into the middle of a town, specifically to warn everyone of a coming disaster, even though it'd likely send everyone into a panic...and also to find me.  I...nearly lost him earlier today.  I didn't, though, and I'm very glad of that...there was also one time where someone challenged me to a battle just because I had him out.  So petty was his desire to beat my dark friend...he walked away from the battle laughing even though he lost it, all because he managed to beat my Absol..."  Nathan shakes his head.  "...but one kind soul afterwards was at least sympathetic towards what happened, so there was that, at least."

"...unfortunately, I'm not sure Absol's more angelic form will be easy to bring back.  Not only is that hurdle of people distrusting Absol and calling them the causes of the very disasters they seek to warn people of still around, but those stones used to maintain that form are rather rare, and the other stones that are typically needed as a catalyst in addition to that one...well, they're strictly regulated by the people in charge because the transformations they cause can be very dangerous in the wrong hands."


When Arcanine asks if Spira's a friend of theirs, Nathan decides to introduce him and everyone else.  "He is, sir.  This is Spira.  My name is Nathan.  That's Shiva.  There's three others travelling with us as well.  Heart, Terra, and Thrawn.  They might be on their way to check up on us as well if Spira's here already.  There's also...one other.  Her name is Juni.  But she is not a friend of ours, nor is she a friend to most of, if not all of her pokemon.  She's currently tied up, and my Absol despises her because she's the one who nearly killed him.  I don't think she'll be paying this place a visit.  Thrawn and Terra are keeping a close eye on her to make sure she can't cause any trouble."

When Shiva asks if she can take the Minicorn egg...Nathan looks kinda surprised.  That's very...bold of her to ask.  Maybe a little too bold...he doesn't dare outright ask if he can have that Absolite...he's not sure if Arcanine would even deem them worthy of handling the fate of an entire species.

It's a big responsibility, and one this Legendary Arcanine seemingly takes very seriously.
