[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Iron]

"Nathan, you seem to know much about Absol. You seem to have treated your companion Absol well. You seem to have knowledge of the strange stone, as well. I will tell you there are ways for Absol to evolve further without the use of anything other than this stone, but I lack exact knowledge of how. It has happened in the wild for centuries before humans discovered this power. Perhaps the land acts as a natural Key Stone under certain circumstances."

"But because you have thorough knowledge of one method...and come from a time where Absol undergoes a struggle..."

"Nathan, I will give you this Absolite. You will Pledge to protect it and the Pokemon species it empowers. You will Pledge to do everything in your power to see that Absol's Mega-Evolution is sustainable, a pleasant and fulfilling experience for him or for any other Absol you may see fit to Mega-Evolve. This evolution is not inherited, it is learned, and thus it is a bigger responsibility. You will Pledge to do your best, when the time comes, to preserve the circumstances that make Mega Absol possible and healthy in the world, even if that means making sacrifices on your part. Do you understand? Do you Pledge?"

"...it wouldn't be the first time I've seen a Mega Pokemon in the wild.  I can definitely believe there are other ways to unlock that potential.  And maybe my friend would be a good example..."

"...this also wouldn't be the first time I've made a promise such as this.  When Landorus himself asks you to help preserve nature...well, it's not something you can forget, really..."

He falls quiet for a short time.

"...honestly, it's always been a hope of mine that I'd be able to help my friends Mega Evolve, achieve their true potential.  And if I can help others do the same...well, then I have no problems with making that Pledge.  So long as people like Juni exist in the world, it's important to not lose sight of what makes such power significant and important.  And if there any Fire types that I would want to bear witness if they so choose...well, what better ones than those who hold similar potential?  Just give me a sec' to grab them...or, at least one of them if I can't get the other one sent over..."

Well then...Nathan needs to send an important message to Bill to retrieve his Fire types that would benefit from the Pledge.

Hey, could I get ya to send me Orthros, my Delta Houndour, please?  We're in the middle of a volcano at the moment, no humans besides us around.  I need to discuss something with him real quick, and I'll send him right back when I'm finished with talking with him since I don't want to cause a paradox anymore than you do.  And I need to discuss the same with Charmeleon as well, so I need him, too.

If you'd still rather not take the risk, I understand, but...this is very important, and I think it's safe to send Orthros over for a short time since it doesn't seem like this era's locals visit the volcano's interior with any kind of frequency.  The basics of the topic concerns Mega Evolution, something I'm sure both of those Fire types would very much be interested in hearing.

You get a message back with the Pokemon you requested. "Please send Orthros right back ASAP. Shiva has been sending me data on how time passes in your world, so I WILL KNOW!!! JK, just be responsible."
