[Game Thread] Pokerole: Mount Coronet Mystery

[Lord Windos]

Spoiler

Paula definitely still wants to stick with Randolph for a bit longer.  She feels safer with him.

Rui seems to be sppoked by Randolph's comment about Mandibuzz nests.  "...wait, they do that?"  *shudder*

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

Scizor will definitely take the Metal Coat and a Leppa Berry in exchange for Ran growing more of those Oran Berries.  The traded blue berry looks much stronger and healthier than the Oran Berries Randolph is used to seeing.  (They restore 4 HP instead of 1)

However, he tugs on his scarf and points up at the dark sky.  It seems that scarf is protecting him from the weather, and he doesn't particularly wish to take it off.  He's politely listened to Randolph's advice up until that point, but whether he'll take it is a different matter.

As for Zorn...nope, he doesn't seem very interested in bird meat.

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

Karen and Amethyst are deep in thought when Randolph finds them.  "Oh, there you are!  So...it turns out that wasn't an Absol at all, actually.  It was a Zorua!  But...I honestly got a feeling that they were still trying to warn us about something..."

Amethyst seems to have calmed down a little.  She's still scanning the horizon, looking for whatever she sensed earlier, but it doesn't seem like she's going to run off now.

Then she'll continue to be out by his side, though thick and thin! If she want, he'll even carry her around, if it brings her a greater sense of comfort and safety.

" *Nods* Yes, they do. Mandibuzz are some of the most thorough scavengers that exist, and they love to use the bones they collect fortify their nest, protect their young, or just for fashion's shake, grim as their's is. Most of them don't actively hunt prey to build their collection, but as you could tell a Shadow Mandibuzz is not usual in the least. *Smiles* Don't worry about them now, though. They're taken care of, and won't be a problem for us anytime soon...."

It's a deal! Super Oran Berry planted in the Berry Pot, and those Items exchanged! Ran's fine with then choosing their Anti-Weather Scarf over holding a Metal Coat, as they bring up a good point about the current Weather being something to avoid. As for his advice, he's not going to let it bother him if they follow it or not. They're not his Pokemon, so he has no real power over or right to dictate their existence, and he isn't interested in trying to Catch them to enforce his Will on them.

At his brutish drake's continued denial of choice Pokemon to munch on, Ran throws up his hands into the air and lets out a big huff.

"Okay, that's it. Trying to hunt for ya is getting us nowhere, if you're going to keep rejecting what I put in front of ya. Can you try to tell me what Pokemon you'd be interested in eating? Mammals, Amphibians, other Lizards? Give me something I can work with, or otherwise you likely going to be stuck on Pokechow forever and I unable to fulfill my word, something neither of us really wants."

"Zoura? Huh...didn't expect one of their kind to be up here, but with everything happen to the mountain I'm surprised a seven headed Hydregion hasn't swooped in to give bright start to thoroughly ruining our day. *Sighs* Well, warning or not, we still got to find the Stairs on this Floor, so let's keep pushing on ahead. *Points Ahead* Let's head left. Don't want to accidentally run into Lucas' group and waste either of our time re-covering our tracks if we don't have to yet."
