[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Dragonstrike]

Spoiler

Nathan wanders into the flower field. There are lots and lots of insect Pokemon, busily at work on the flowers. They seem outstandingly healthy, and you see many that are edible.

Suddenly your Pokedex starts going off! No sooner does it say "Update Available...downloading..." than the download completes! Your inbox lights up with hundreds of text messages! Random TV and radio broadcasts flicker across your screen. The phone rings, then stops, then rings, then stops, intermittently throughout all this.

"New Pokemon scanned - Dustox! They travel in big groups during -"
"New Pokemon scanned - Sunflora! Sunflora live in flower patches.They convert -"
"New Pokemon scanned - Wooper! Inhabits cold water sources and only comes out during the -"
"New Pokemon scanned - Teddiursa! If they find honey, their crescent -"
"New Pokemon scanned - Burmy! This Pokémon has adapted to live in -"
"New Pokemon scanned - Spewpa! It remains hidden inside old logs. W-"
"New Pokemon scanned - Petilil! Since they prefer moist and nutritive -"
"New Pokemon scanned - Dedenne!" Beep, boop, Professor Mallorn has wired you $400.

But the source of this confusion has given itself away - a teensy tiny Dedenne with oversized whiskers ducks back behind a burdock plant. It's only about three inches long, but so are its whiskers. Definitely just a baby, and a little undersized too!

Well, that's definitely a distraction and a half!  "What the..."

The moment the pokedex says it just scanned a Dedenne and the pokedex spitting out a 'Mallorn wired you money' message instead of a pokedex entry, though, Nathan's eyebrows shoot up in surprise!  Wait, if that just happened, then that means...

...and yup, sure enough, there's a Dedenne.  And one with extra powerful electromagnetic abilities if what just happened is any indication.  And those are some biiiiiiig whiskers for a pokemon that small.

Nathan shuts his pokedex off entirely to hopefully stop it from making any more noise, then kneels down.  "Well hey there little guy.  You're certainly causing a lot of noise, aren't ya?  Don't worry, I'm not gonna hurt ya.  Ya want to play?  I've got a friend you could play with without having to worry about them squishing you."

Ditto Transforming into Dedenne so they could play together might be an interesting way to go about befriending this tiny little mouse pokemon, I think.  Ditto's still fairly young itself, being only a little over a month old, so it making a young friend could be good for it, too.
