[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Mikaruge108]

Spoiler

Spira follows the voice and comes to a smoothed cavern with two flat boulders in the center. A giant Sneasel is sitting on one boulder and spreading some silver nuggets on the other boulder, spilled from a sack. It's talking to itself constantly, about the coins, about Pokemon who bothered it, and lastly about how nice the weather's been down here. (There is indeed a slight chill to the air this far underground.)

It turns when it senses your light source. "Bothering the darkness again, are we? I'd heard there were some humans skittering around, disturbing things. Slew the Great Dark Slowbro. Surprised I speak Common? Don't be; we Pokemon spoke it first. You just copied us. It just takes a little practice, that's all. It's just, you know, practicing something other than fighting is rare with Her Watchful Eye being so close. You're not here to attack me, are you?"

You'd think that seeing a Sneasel that can speak would be shocking, but thanks to the two guardians (Not counting Syrentide) the group has had the honor of meeting, speaking Pokemon have kinda lost their novelty to him; :"Actually, no I'm not surprised, I've seen talking 'mons before." Spira eyes the loot that the Sneasel has, "I may or may not attack you, I'd honestly prefer chatting, but first, tell me how you got your paws on that silver." Spira is at the very least familiar enough with the species to know about the gender difference of Sneasel, so short or long ear feather?
