[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Dragonstrike]

Spoiler

Dragon, I think I forgot to give you character XP when you completed your goal of reaching all 8 badges. That feat is worth 10XP.

As Terra lays one hand on Yogi's shoulder, Yogi shifts and blurs. Revealing, not a Medicham, but a completely untouched Zorua! The little fox is wearing the biggest possible grin at having tricked EVERYONE, including her master and a respected Gym Leader, in this way. And for an entire battle, an almost impossible feat for an Illusion user!

Terra immediately realizes that this means Yogi, who was supposed to get the benefit of an important battle after a long time of disuse, has been sorely betrayed by the mischievous fox.

Zorua just starts dancing with pleasure, and is actually surrounded by black light. As the dance continues, it transitions from four legs to two. When the light fades, Zorua has become a Zoroark - and that's no illusion!

Raised under the loving care of a Good owner, Zorua's ultimate prank fulfills the altered evolutionary requirements.

Mason is just rollling on the floor laughing, pointing at Terra's face. He doesn't seem to mind that he was aced.

You did indeed forget!  Thanks!

*Flashback!*

As soon as Oinari's Illusion drops, Nathan finally understands why the heck 'Yogi' was making such a big deal about not getting hit.  He did find it odd that Terra was using a pokemon that was focusing so much on evasion since that isn't really his fighting style at all, but it all makes sense now.  Oinari evolving is just the icing on the cake, really, since that means that Terra's discovered a way to evolve Zorua into Zoroark without stooping too low!  Wow!

Nathan claps for Terra and the now fully evolved Illusion Fox.  "Well, I guess I've got my work cut out for me, don't I?  Already seeing ground breaking research from Terra, and we're only a few days out from the defeat of Deoxys?  Heart hatching a Legendary pokemon and working tirelessly to rapidly restore what was destroyed by the space invaders?  I better be careful to not be left behind!  Well done, Terra, well done."
