[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

Roar has to end battle with one foe at a time. Some of Marco's Pokemon have AoE Surprises, including Luxray's Roar.

Okay. In that case, when Shiva takes a break from playtime with Yena to check on and care for her other Pokemon and gets back to the black winged wolf after a few minutes, she realizes that he has shred that rope they played with completely into pieces, and it was a tough one to start with. When she picks up the pieces and gives a questioning glance to Yena, he just wags his tail in eager and looks accomplished and proud. He looks like he's expecting praise, which Shiva gladly gives him either way. Aww!~

He also insists on not returning to bis Pokeball and instead stay out and by her side, which nothing speaks against actually. Shiva quickly gets that her butterwolfly is in a good and jolly mood, he jumps around, runs around, occassionally lets out a playful bark and most prominent he's sinking his fangs into everything along the way that looks hard and tough, even leaving some faint biting marks in solid stone, that's something new: 'He must be training his masticatory muscles and trying to sharpen his teeth...'. is Shiva's closest guess about that odd behaviour. Once more she's relieved that Yena is completely obediant (solely to her that is), he has surely grown soooo much since she came across him there on Route 4!~

Yena gains an additional Strong Jaw Ability, costing him 45XP (not 55 as I remembered, it's stated in MetaThread starting here). Now he's both protected by constant shading of scales from his wings and armoured with a biting force that tears almost everything! He only needs one or two more biting moves tutored now.

You begin ascending down the sunken ship's passage as indicated by Cosh. Halfway along, Sari comes forth from her Pokeball to fulfill her promise!
She wanders down a much smaller side passage than the one Cosh was planning to follow, which soon widens and descends until becoming a large dead end chamber. To one side is a massive golden relief of a circlet crown and a big golden Apricorn symbol. As Sari approaches, it shimmers and reforms into a giant golden Slowking crown, halfway embedded in the wall. She smirks at Terra to show how important she is, then sits on your foot and begins to lick her fur.

Hah, Shiva almost instantly thinks that it was a not-so-dumb idea to keep that ultrashiny Slowking in the party when Terra asked for advice concerning that, and she's eager to follow the trail of red scales Sari's leaving behind.

Humm, Shiva would investigate that golden Slowking Crown further, which includes letting Yena sniff on it and her being mindful what feelings she's getting from that Chamber and that Crown - Sari, smug and queenly as she is, could have just as well lead them all into a trap just because she wants to do so. Could it be though that this Slowking counts as that kingly Pokemon needed to progress?
