[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

Spoiler

Forthright actually starts off by simply basking in the sunlight.  Ah, that feels so good...

...then she notices the big, buff, scary ghost that looks like it wants to fight.  Eek!  Her first instinct is actually to go and hide behind Nathan because she has a baaaaaad feeling that the ghost could potentially hurt her quite significantly...Nathan gently urges her to stay on the battlefield, however.  "You'll do fine, Forthright.  The weather's in your favor, after all."  He smiles, though it only helps Forthright become just slightly less nervous.  Okay, if you say so...

As she slowly floats to her position on the battlefield, Nathan introduces her properly to Spira.  "Meet Forthright, Spira.  She's a Castform, a species of originally artificial pokemon that's able to predict and adapt to the weather.  They're almost impossible to find in the wild since they're an artificial species, but some organizations have been introducing them to it recently.  Mostly in Alola from what I've heard."

(OOC reference: Castform as a species was created by scientists during/just before the events of the Hoenn games, which was around 10 years ago.  While Castform can appear in the Trophy Garden in Sinnoh, the species is not native to the region)

"Artificial Pokemon, huh, I know about Baltoy, I've heard they sometimes show up south of Eterna, and, thanks to what I had to learn for my gym training, am somewhat familiar with Golett, though I've never actually seen either one of those." (speaking of gym training, if Nathan has any questions concerning that, he's free to ask them)
