[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Iron]

(sorry for the lack of responses lately.  Been having some writers block here recently.)

...yup, more dead trainers who have been here for who knows how long...empty bags means no means of identifying them this time, though...

...yeah, the danger they're in now is definitely hitting home for Nathan a lot more now.  He always knew the Skull Ruins were dangerous, but actually being there is a completely different story compared to reading about it...

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

Nathan has to try very hard to not panic when that Earthpower Treatment goes completely wrong.  Fortunately, Gallade's presence and a calm hand on Nathan's shoulder helps a lot.  This can still be fixed.

Nathan needs some time to collect himself after that, though.

Luxray is fretting more worriedly over Marco as well, it should be noted.

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

Now then, as for encounters here...let's engage the Binacle horde.  Nathan has some pokemon that could really benefit from getting more exp, and this seems like a good opportunity for them.

If Kelda could help out with this encounter, that'd be spectacular.

As for the two pokemon Nathan will start with, that would be Solosis and Snivy.

As I usually do with NPCs, I'll have Kelda peel off half the battlers to leave a fair encounter for Nathan.


Solosis: (1) + 11 = 12
Snivy: (1) + 11 = 12
Binacle Group 1: (5) + 1 Dex +4 survival = 10
Binacle Group 2: (4) = 9

Each group has 4 small Pokemon in it. They move as a unit as if ready to be assembled into a Barbaracle - you'll usually only be able to hit one group at a time with spread moves.
