[Game Thread] Pokerole: Mount Coronet Mystery

[Spiritmon]

Spoiler

By the time everyone has regrouped at the Pokemon Center, it's getting rather late in the day.  Everyone's probably getting a little worried since Professor Rowan hasn't walked in the door yet, and the sun's starting to go down.  Snowpoint is cold during the day, but at night?  It's freezing.  Even the locals don't stay outdoors for long when night falls.

The Pokemon Center's lobby is just as busy at the end of the day as it was in the morning.  Bug Catchers, Youngsters, Lasses, Ace Trainers, Snowboarders, Skiers...everyone who's gotten a room at the Center has returned by now.

Eventually, the crowds start to thin as it gets later and later.  An hour passes.  An hour and a half.  The lobby ends up much quieter as the majority of people turn in for the night.

...but just when members of the group start to consider turning in themselves, the front door of the Center is flung wide open, and a frigid breeze heralds the arrival of someone!  The coat and other protective gear they're wearing are so thick that it's impossible to tell who they are at first.

But everyone (except maybe Kee if he's still waiting with the group) recognizes who he is as soon as he takes off the hat and goggles.


Music: Professor Rowan - Pokemon Diamond/Pearl/Platinum

"...well, that took longer than I was expecting it to..." he mumbles to himself.

The first thing he does upon entering the Pokemon Center's Lobby is head over to the counter and hand the overnight Nurse (it's a different person, not Nurse Joy) a pokeball.  "Staraptor could use a little warming up, if you don't mind, Nurse.  It is positively frigid out there."

His pokemon accounted for, he turns and looks around the room to see who's present.  Once he sees everyone gathered at the table, he pulls up a chair and sits at it himself.

"Ah, good to see you all again.  Apologies for taking so long.  Those last minute arrangements were trickier to negotiate than I thought they'd be.  Anyways...how have you all been faring in the meanwhile?  I trust there hasn't been much trouble while you've been awaiting my arrival?"

"Took you long enough old man. How things going?" Kogeki was not in the table with everyone else, but instead appear behind professor Rowan like the ninja he is.

Talking about being furtive.

"So, I explained most of what happened around Coronet to everyone else: Walls, Primals, and most of the information. I supose your meeting with the Elite have go smooth correct?"

"There is more information to be shared, but lets sit down and have this conversation."
