[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Lord Windos]

Spoiler

Lunatone doesn't seem very interested in joining your team, though it's thankful for the offer and the help. Maybe it can accompany you during the rest of your Safari Zone time.

It leads you to the low point of the crater and levitates some dust out of the way, revealing a big chunk of MSC with thick rubbery roots coming out of the base and digging into the ground. From each of the roots grows a few giant blades of Tall Grass. 

Well, if Lunatone doesn't want to come along, then Terra will respect its wishes, giving them an understanding nod.

"Okay. You can.....stay with me for as long as you like, though, and I will keep you safe until I have to leave Safari Zone. *Nods* Least I can do for you, Lunatone."

Though it may be rare, he DOES refrain from catching rare or interesting Pokemon if given a good reason or out of kindness/compassion. He's rugged and pragmatic, but he's not without a heart!

When the cosmic crescent leads him to the sizable deposit of MSC, the steely brawler's eyes spark with interest and appreciation, and he turns to give a thankful nod/smile to his new companion. He then brings out the Digging Tools he has a gets to work excavating the MSC, along with the roots and other stuff with Pixie's help with cleaving them away! The chuck of MSC was not precisely what he had in mind discovering in the crater, but he was none the less happy with it and wanted to acquire it for himself!

If that doesn't take an Encounter to get the MSC (Or Geo doesn't interrupt and prevent said acquisition), Terra will spend his last Encounter of the day exploring the deepest parts of the Safari Heartlands Crater, keeping on eye on Lunatone to see if something catches their interest/something catches interest in them. Since he now knows rare/unusual Pokemon lurk underground here after Encountering Giga Whiscash, he'll recall Pixie and summon Angie to go Digging through the earth to help him find such hidden gems, with Dunny helping out be phasing through the ground to help search too. Might as well maximize the odds of finding quality Pokemon here, right?

As for Heart's text.......well, I'll say between Terra's awe of the S.H. and digging up the MSC that he completely misses it, and so will be left out of the loop regrading Cress getting partially leveled for a little longer. Otherwise, he'd drop everything and meet with the group about this, which I personally don't want to happen when I still have one or more Encounters in the S.Z. left (If Iron lets/allows Terra stay up through the night searching for Pokemon) to catch more Pokemon to sell/keep/share with the group later. Hopefully everyone won't be too worried by his absence.....

Also, would Posei possibly find a King's Rock or something similar here, Iron? If there is anywhere else in the Safari Zone that has such things, the S.H. Crater is one of them!
