[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Iron]

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."

Yay!  Talk time!

Nathan brings out both Charmeleon and Orthros and kneels down in front of 'em.  "Can I ask the two of you for a favor?  I'm about to make a very, very important promise.  This nice Arcanine has been watching over a Mega Stone for Absol.  He's willing to entrust it to me if I promise to take good care of it and help make Mega Absol a more common, natural sight.  He also said...any pokemon associated with Fire that bears witness to the promise and assists me in the endeavour will be granted a boon from Nature itself, powerful moves to help enforce that promise and ensure it's fulfilled. I think you two understand the importance of a Mega Stone for a pokemon.  And maybe this can also work as a promise between us for me to help the both of you achieve the peaks of your powers as well."

"...so, I guess in short, I'm asking: can I rely on you both to help me with this?  To help bring back Mega Absol and help you both reach your peak powers in turn?  Just to emphasize it again, this is a rather serious promise since the fate of a species is at stake...but I'd love to have the both of you assisting me in this task.  Nature will be holding us accountable, but I think we're up to the task."

Nathan's almost certain Charmeleon will accept if it helps him get stronger, and he's fairly sure Orthros won't have any problems with following the leader, either...but he wanted to ask anyways before thrusting such a large responsibility on them both.  This isn't something the two of them should rush into without knowing what will be expected of them.

Charmeleon nods and makes a fist. He seems a little jealous of Absol, and clearly wouldn't mind becoming a Charizard who can Mega-Evolve ASAP! He probably doesn't understand the intense connection required, though.  When the Pledge goes through, Charmeleon will gain 1 Loyalty.


Orthros does, because he's very close! He needs only a significant milestone to reach peak Happiness and Loyalty. Of course, he needs to evolve and to find a stone first.

Anyway, Orthros puts his paws on your shoulders and licks your face when you ask him to help you out. This loyal (though eerie) pup is the perfect one to ask.
