[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Dragonstrike]

Spoiler

His friend politely turning down their promised battle today managed to raise both his eyebrows, before they knitted together and his expression turned pensive.

"Are you sure? Hm.......very well. If you need to.......pass the time, you can borrow my Super Rod. Caught a Crawdaunt, Dragalge, buff Wartortle, and Posei with it it," *Gestures to his Politoed, who's probably hopped down to his partner's side by now with Dunny, both looking mildly worried but relieved* ,"....so you should be able to fish up a good Pokemon with it."

Well, that's nice of him! Normally he'd drive a harder bargain for the right to use his Super Rod, but between nearly screwing (or being screwed by, really) the Mightyena and him flaking on their fight, he feels that he owes his friend free use of it for awhile. 

Their light praise greatly cheers Terra up, actually managing to break through his depressed/remorseful mood and bringing a very slight smile on his face as he nodded back to them.

"Thank you. My plans....."

He glances over to where Howl is standing, before continuing.

".....Will tell you later. In private. They are nothing bad, but.....don't want to share them in public. Less people know about them, better it will work.....I think."

How even more cryptic!

Hey, Nathan's not going to turn down a chance to use a Super Rod!  "...haven't really done much fishing, to be honest, but when you have little more than an Old Rod, you probably know exactly what you're going to catch already, right?"

Nathan's curiosity has definitely been piqued by how vague (and possibly clever?) Terra is being.

Nathan probably wouldn't have asked outright if Terra could get him a Zorua, just absentmindedly said something about owning a Zorua being cool because it's a rather rare species.  They are an incredibly rare species after all.  And that'd possibly lead into Terra making the rather generous offer, I expect.
