[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

"Hardly anyone goes by their real name. I'm surprised you still do. But I must say, Nathan, I think YOU were the 'pet project.' You, or Shiva, or Ventus, or what's-his-name, that assistant I had for a few years. I've been more involved in you and your friends than I usually am with a crop of new trainers, and you've gone father than most of them already. With more great things to come! I didn't have anything else active near the Spring Festival, boss, so I think you're it!"

"...well, I bet Cosh wishing right now that he had left us in that swamp without our pokemon after all, because Gallade, Calam, and I intend to ruin his criminal organization however we can.  Almanac is apparently little more than a front for the Scimitars at this point.  I'm not even sure they're separate organizations any more.  Still, I wonder how Cosh knew if he was referring to us directly, given that we'd only just started our journey at that point...we hadn't even visited Ginger Town for the first time at that point...in any case, I find the whole alias thing a little silly, to be honest.  If I'm going to go down in the history books, I want my actual name to be there, not some fake name I cooked up just because I thought it sounded cool.  I have little reason to hide who I am, and...well, surprisingly few have actually even cared to ask who I am in the first place, if you can believe that.  Thought that the thugs who attacked my dad three years ago would have wondered why the heck I looked so similar to their most recent victim, but nope, they didn't even seem to think to question that, apparently.  Or if they did, they didn't voice it."

Gallade relaxes a little as Nathan moves to a different topic.

"...so, this one's a weirder question I'm moreso asking out of curiosity, but...I actually encountered a Dedenne with suuuuuper strong electromagnetic abilities recently.  She's hardly more than a baby, but her electric attacks are...surprisingly potent.  They actually made my pokedex run almost completely out of control.  I think it was due to the MSC in the tech.  Think abilities like hers might be able to keep MSC based electronics running down in the Ruins' lower layers?"
