[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Dragonstrike]

Ventus's response probably doesn't generate a reaction that the researcher was expecting.

"Maybe I could just drop everything like Kelda did, but...I don't think I would be able to look at myself the same way ever again if I did.  It's a burdensome path, but it's the path I chose by continuing to wield this Sword, no matter how heavily it weighs on my shoulders...and Creshire only just got out of the frying pan.  There's still a fire below it, just out of most everyone's sight, waiting to burn us all to a crisp...someone needs to put it out.  Can really only hope that I'll have enough reliable and capable help trying to accomplish that goal..."

It isn't so much the burden itself that's worrying him, but the thought that he and his pokemon may have to bear the burden 'alone' that is...Nathan's only one trainer, after all.

The young historian sighs, then shakes his head and turns his gaze in the direction of Garlicburg instead.

"...well, enough of that.  If you'd think over my request, I'd greatly appreciate it.  For now, we should get going.  Garlicburg and our treasure hunt await, after all.  Best not hold everyone else up any longer."
