[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Iron]

Spoiler

It doesn't really understand the threat of a Psychic type, but Swiftfire has a chance to scare it off because it knows about fire.

(6)(3)(6)(5)(5)(5) (2)(6)(4) = 7, which is how many Will Victreebel has. Victreebel shrinks back into the bushes.

2XP for Gallade, Swiftfire, and Nathan.

Calam comes back out and eagerly leads the the way to what he was sensing earlier. Yep, it's Angela alright. She's clutching a fully inflated oversized Jigglypuff, floating a few feet above the ground, and raining down attacks on an Ariados while dodging its webs. She can't sustain this strategy very long, though. When she touches ground, she sees Calam and smiles. There's a big flash of pink light and the sound of a Pokeball, and Ariados is nowhere to be seen.

"Well, hello, gorgeous. Where's your master?"

Nice.  I'll definitely take not having to fight a status inflicting plant before a gym battle.  No need for anyone to get hurt unnecessarily, right?

Anyways, moving on...

Calam looks a little puzzled and somewhat intrigued by Angela.  Gourgeous?  That's a new one.  Gourgeous isn't a word that most would use to describe him...

Nathan's voice responds to Angela's question from the direction Calam came.  "Master probably isn't the correct term to use.  I'd say we're more like really good friends, particularly after everything we've been through together."

Nathan and Gallade then walk forward and stand next to Calam.  The SPARE CHANGE shirt Nathan's wearing today has an Absol pictured on it.  "Hello again, Angela.  Hope the wild pokemon haven't worn your pokemon down a whole bunch while my pokemon and I were warming up."

"No..." she sighs, "Even with type disadvantages, these Pokemon just don't challenge me like they used to. Are you here for a battle? What rules would you like to use?"
