[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Dragonstrike]

Nathan's rather quiet for the most part, letting Shiva lead the conversation mostly.  He quietly shakes his head in exasperation when Shiva guesses that the Grass Guardian might be Xerneas.  That guess was soooooo wildly incorrect.  The pink scythes, the orchids everywhere, the mantis-like appearance, the smaller pokemon with pink eyes...the clues were all pointing towards the pokemon before them being the Bloom Sickle Pokemon, or at least something similar to it.  (and woe be me if I can't recognize one of my favorite pokemon!  No, I'm not kidding.  I actually really like Lurantis's design!)  He's read about Lurantis before, so he didn't have much trouble recognizing the pokemon's form, but this is definitely unlike anything he's ever read about the species!

---------------------------------------

Nathan's not entirely surprised when the conversation eventually turns to making a Pledge, and this is when he steps in to say a little more.

"...that's an easy Pledge for us to make, Lurantis.  We've seen the devastation that Deoxys caused 10,000 years ago first hand.  We're taking measures to try and stop it from doing the same again now that it's returning.  If you can offer us assistance in stopping a Legend...I'm not going to turn it down.  For the sake of everyone here now and those who'll come in the future...we have to stop Deoxys from doing whatever it pleases."

Nathan takes a deep breath before continuing.  "...in the process of Pledging, though, it's preferable to have Grass aligned pokemon witness the Pledge so they can help enforce it with new moves that they learn during the process, correct?  I have plenty of Grass types that could bear witness, but...well, as you can see from my lack of broken pokeballs, I don't actually have any of them on hand right now...I'm sure most of them wouldn't have any problems with bearing witness provided I have an opportunity to get them, though."
