[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Dragonstrike]

"Some people come here trying to pay me in acorns and berries. What do I look like, a caveman? I still buy supplies. I still buy equipment for myself and my Pokemon. I take POKEDOLLARS and nothing else. Beautiful Unfezant like that, I can teach for $1150."

After a whistle, an enormous Braviary and a squinting Noctowl with a 20' wingspan show up and begin performing an intricate aerial dance, weaving between the trees and each other. They ruffle their feathers to the utmost, and don't seem to mind when they careen off a tree or snap a branch in midair.

Juliet, in disguise as the Unfezant, leaps from the nest to join them with a word of encouragement from Zest. She immediately plummets straight down. In a moment, however, she sticks out her wings and they begin fluffing up in mimicry of the big bird Pokemon. This lets her control her descent into a beautiful looping spiral, slowing her down with every meter she descends. When she lands, she begins shedding (actual?) feathers all over the bottom of the clearing as she struts around, giving an impromptu performance that clearly lacks in comparison to a Trainer-choreographed dance.

"Not bad on the move usage, though you obviously need more practice on flying in the forest. Want to go ahead and try it on one of your Pokemon now?"

Ahahaha.  Brilliant.  And I have just the thing in mind for Juliet practicing the move on another of Nathan's pokemon.  Nathan looks to Gallade.  "Well, what do you say, friend?  I think this might make some good practice for later, wouldn't you say?"  Gallade nods, then Teleports down to the clearing and bows to the 'Unfezant', who also bows back.

"I think you'll want to see this, Zest.  This should be very interesting.  They've been working on the choreography for this on and off for a little while now."

Gallade and 'Unfezant' then begin practicing the motions of the finale to their join performance, weaving around each other, utilizing various moves to accentuate certain points in the dance.  At the end of it all, the 'Unfezant' throws their wings out in front of Gallade as the Blade pokemon throws a punch, scattering countless sparkling feathers with the newly learned Feather Dance...

...and once they've all settled on the ground, it is not an Unfezant standing in front of Gallade, but a small, black and white pokemon that certainly looks and acts like a bird.  They definitely don't look like a typical bird pokemon, though...and she looks completely unharmed from the powerful attack that Gallade just used!

Nathan claps for Gallade and Juliet the Masking.  "Excellent!  A wonderful finale!  That Feather Dance was exactly what it needed!"

Nathan then turns to Zest.  "Apologies for the light deception, Zest, but as you can see, Juliet is a rather...strange bird pokemon.  Still, I'm glad to see that my guess was correct and that she can indeed skillfully perform that move.  Thank you for your time and assistance."  He holds out a hand to shake.
