[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Lord Windos]

Spoiler

When you tell Cosh to transfer the Mean Look, he appears panicked. "I... I already did! It's still on what's left of Deoxys!"

Marco speaks up. "It's a surprise of Meowstic. Affects a chain of users. All my Pokemon have surprises for dealing with each of the four artifacts... though I wasn't aware of the Frozen Roar at the time."

"Look, Nathan, Terra. I've been away three years. I haven't been a father in all that time. And Nathan, you've been doing a wonderful job of accepting the responsibility of an adult, but maybe it's time for the adults to step up and do their job. You and Terra preserve your friendship. This capture was performed by me, and I'll take care of it as I see fit. You two can head off and never need know what went down here. Corporal Wake, a moment of your time?"

Terra resolutely shakes his head at Marco, his expression still grimly determined.

"No. I will not abandon Cosh. If you want to capture him, you will have to go through me. And since Meowstic is stopping him from escaping....."

Just as he was about to fully dedicate himself to opposing his best friend's day, a non-violent solution suddenly came to him in a unexpect Eureka! moment! The sagely monk abruptly cuts himself off and rushes over to Cosh's side, leaving his partners to delay/block Marco and Nathan from closely following him, and as soon as he is within reach of them he pulls out the Eye Plate he got from that bug knight and shoves it in their hands/onto their person!

"Cosh, hold this, and FLY away! Grants power to ignore trapping Moves and Abilities! Go now, quickly! Before Marco, Nathan, and the League can stop you!!"

(Yeap, still have The Eye Plate, and yes, Terra is going to give it to Cosh so he can escape. If necessary, he'll even throw it to them if Nathan, Marco, or one of their Pokemon stops them. Terra's dead serious about upholding his promise/word to his Scimitar partner, even if it earns him the ire of everyone else!)
