[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Iron]

(...) However, even after they're tied up and being sniffed by Luxray, you don't get any sleep because Luxray keeps pacing around and around and around them. Then he makes a Roaring noise until your attention is on you. Looking over, you see Luxray has sorted the Kadabra into two groups. Shiva is the one to notice the sorting mechanism - one group is male and one is female.

Nathan looks at Shiva.  There's still one more Psychic type here.  "Think Gothitelle might have some input on this?"

Shiva's watching these tied up, fainted and now sorted Kadabra with interest, attention and curiosity, her compassion for them receives another boost once it became clear that Nathan's dad has INDEED been transformed into an inhabitant by these Chambers. She frowns heavily at the tought of a Pokemon belonging to a family even in blood - that's dear and creepy at the same time.

Nathan more or less starring at her directly quickly directs her mind back to the current planet, as she draws her gothloli fortune teller's Premier Ball she voices her thoughts carefully. "It's surely worth a try, yes, even if Lilith has never gotten the chance to actually meet your dad. Or rather, she didn't do so for the time she's been under my care." To Gothy: "So, dear one, we'll play some sort of game now: Obscure your senses please and tell me which of these Kadabra *gestures to the group of male exemplars* you feel drawn to most." Given Shiva herself has a natural talent with Psychic Types given her awakened blood and co. and her massive empathy, she actually joins in that.

There is also one more thing that she remembers: Nathan's dad has a habit to care and patch up wounded Baby Pokemon, and there's that group of Baby Pokemon led by a Buneary she once helped out, those that were on the way to the Skull Ruins appearantly. Now, putting the puzzle pieces together, if she'd only could find them again, they could tell which Kadabra is the one that we're looking for. (It's been said me having helped them will make a difference later: Later = in this case??)

The Baby Pokemon would have arrived nearby pretty recently.


When Shiva conducts her own version of the experiment, there's a pretty clear result. Shiva runs into something soft and fluffy - which turns out to be Whimsicott, out of her Pokeball. Whimsicott has lined up right behind Gallade by coincidence/following what she's drawn to. Shiva has found Whimsicott in the same way. And Lilith has run right into the old telescope with a CLANG, bounced off, and redirected to be at the same Kadabra as Gallade/Whimsicott/Shiva.

You have a feeling this tells you more about Gallade than it does the Kadabra.
