[Game Thread] Pokerole Mystery Dungeon: Primal Shadows

[Dragonstrike]

*Flashback*
After the fight, despite the fear at the forefront of her mind, there is also empathy. Karen shakily approaches M-Growlithe, and attempts to recruit it!

---------

Karen does have a question.

1.) "Beast of War..." she definitely is troubled by it. "What is the Beast of War?"

For the sake of brevity and plot reasons, there isn't any difficulty with recruiting the M-Growlithe (besides Karen's own fears) and teleporting them back to Sahra Town with the Adventure Badge.  They match the description of the Growlithe that Daxter has been looking for, though they aren't currently in a state where they can confirm if they're named 'Buddy' or not, seeing as they're only barely conscious.

(If you want to try to recruit either of the other Growlithe, that'll require some rolls)

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

Xatu closes his eyes when Karen asks that question, seeming to be deep in thought.

"They are a creature that will bring ruin in the future, the former guardian of the skies.  They will be the first symbol of the Shadows that will engulf the world.  I cannot see what form they will take, but I can see it is one devoid of hope and light.  An ominous sign indeed.  Without the powers of Fire, Water, Ice, and Lightning, there will be little chance of standing against their might."

He opens his eyes and looks at Karen again.

"But stand against it the chosen ones shall.  For even when the world is devoid of hope, it is never truly gone.  It has happened many times before, and it shall happen time and time again whenever disaster seems unavoidable.  So it has been decreed by the Voice of Life, whose call guides those who instill hope to our world."

In the background, Team Gallop seem to be having a whispered conversation.

"Hey, why do you think he keeps looking at Karen like that?  It's kinda weird..."

"Maybe she's one of those 'chosen ones' he keeps mentioning?  He keeps looking at her like there's something special about her..."

"Or maybe he's just curious about her being shiny?  Those definitely aren't colors you see every day..."

"Shhhh, quiet you two!  I don't think he's finished yet."

Ponyta is paying very close attention to everything that Xatu is saying, and Mudbray and Blitzle both quiet down after Ponyta shushes them.  Xatu seemingly ignores the hushed conversation though, continuing to give his attention to Karen.  It's almost like he's deducing what she's going to say next...
