Given that Shiva was able to sell a 0/0/5 Druddigon for even more than that, this probably isn't anywhere near the full value of Tubareel. Nathan's not a merchant looking to squeeze every penny out of a transaction that he can, though. And it's also a lot harder to sell aquatic pokemon in general since they're so much more limited in how and when they can be used in battle. So we'll take that offer. It's almost double the value of what a researcher would offer for the invasive species, and Nathan could really use the cash. Net Balls are always pretty handy to have on hand, too. As for what I'll do with some of that cash...we'll get to that in a sec.

I've got a counterquestion for that: What is the time of day where the least amount of ghosts and Ghost Types lurk there? Around midday, I guess? I'll go with that. Particularly in that area Shiva stays close to Spira's side, partly because he's specialized in that Type and partly because she promised she can be counted on in case of hints that a Spiritomb is nearby. (Both of 'em have an amazing Insight, so I guess they'd be able to notice before it'll attack.) She'll also keep Yena out, just in case.

Okay, couple things before we start on entering the Barrow Downs:
- Nathan will spend $1500 on teaching Solomon Foul Play with the help of Howl's apprentice (or give that money to Terra so Terra can do that since Solomon is going to be in his party). They're headed to a place with many Ghost and Psychic types, so that move will probably be very helpful in certain situations. - Nathan will also spend $1500 on teaching Snivy Dragon Breath with the help of Fire Breather Bel. Now Snivy is able to attack even more like a proper Dragon! - Nathan will also spend $1600 on 2 Pokeballs and 2 Great Balls. One can never have too many pokeballs. - Nathan will also spend $2400 on 2 Hyper Potions for emergencies. These variety of potion were designed to heal large amounts of Lethal damage, so it's handy to have them on hand, particularly when going to a place as dangerous as the Skull Ruins. - Would it be possible for Fire Breather Bel to teach Emolga how to use Frost Breath, @Iron? If so, I'll spend another $1750 on that. If Forthright can do it, maybe Emolga can too. Total Spent: $7000 ($8750 if Emolga can be taught Frost Breath) - Nathan will also loan the Mystic Water to Heart for Gustav/Posei to use. ----------------------------- As for when we get to the Ruins...Nathan won't want to waste any more time once he's fully ready to go. He'll want to get started searching the Skull Ruins ASAP. So probably mid-morning/early afternoon at the latest, since Heart spent his first encounter battling Howl, Nathan was trading Tubareel and doing some shopping while waiting for that to be finished, and D-Onix was (probably) evolved shortly before the group sets out for the Ruins.

Right now, all his concern was on his friend Nathan, not on some piece of electronic he hardly uses in the first place. He'll get it back later, when all is said and done with the current delimea. As for Shiva's fairly impassioned message.....no reaction from the Pokedex.......at first. It isn't until she puts it away that the words 'Voice Message Sent!' flashed across the screen. Few more minutes passed, until a single line of text appeared: 'Understood, my love. I await your glorious return with open arms, and a open heart.' The message is not deleted like the others, so there it remains on the steely brawler's 'Dex, waiting for someone to discover it. ------- With Nathan: To their disappointment and anguish, Nathan's call did end up going to voice message, his heart pouring revelations cast into an electronic box for the eccentric researcher to hear later. As the boy was staring as his Pokedex in sorrow and dismay.......it started to ring. The Caller ID displayed: Ventus Zackariah. Presumably, Nathan is swift to answer the call. For the first few seconds he's greeted with silence...... "......Ven, hmm? Hardly expected you'd ever venture to use that nickname of mine again. But.....it's a pleasant surprise, I suppose." He speaks. The researcher's voice is.......tired. Whispy, almost. Most definately carrying tones of resignation. And yet.....you could her a faint smile mixed in too. "You were rather spot on in your deduction that it was not my desire to speak with you, or the rest of the group. Not presently, at least. Things are all too.....delicate between us all for any form of conversation, casual or not. Especially between us, Nate. Yet after I heard your.....confession/i], you [i]plea.......well, you could say I couldn't help myself from wanting to help you. Such is often the case, for a fool like me. Trying to save others, but unable to save himself. Ha ha ha.....rather funny to me, but I doubt you share such sentiments." ... ".......Truth be told, I'm rather surprised that not only you still regard me so highly, but that you've placed me on a pedistool. 'A shining star,' hmm? I'd be flatter, if such a metaphorical comparison was not so blatantly untrue. Ha ha ha ha. I've said this before to you, Nate, but I guess it bears further reinforcement: I'm no hero. I'm no good guy, and I'm certainly no star. The only way I'd be one if I was the Morningstar themselves , which is hardly a flattering likeness. All I am is just a man that wants to help. A twisted, damaged, and bad man, who is trying their hardest to be good, and so often failing to. You shouldn't allow yourself to be deluded into believing anything else otherwise. After all, you have ample evidence that backs up my presentation of who I am." ... "Hmm.....I digress. I didn't call back to contradict your view of me. Not entirely for that reason, at least." A heavy *Sigh....*, before he continued, his tone becoming more resigned and yet more kind. "I knew, of course. That you wouldn't be selfish with your life, or not to the extent that I desired. You were never so pragmatic, or adhered to the philosophy of 'the ends justify the means. I can't help but be aggrieved, disappointed......yet pleased. To take on the burdens that have been foisted on you, out of a selfless desire to preserve and brighten the future of your loved ones and all of Cheshire's people, even if it costs you everything......" ".....I believe that makes you a hero, Nate. One that nobody deserves, yet you give them anyway. Because they need one, and you want what is best for them. Truly, you have grown to be such an amazing individual. Though I do not know them well......I believe Marco would be proud. So very, very proud." ......... "*Sighs* .......Which will make what I have to say next be all the more contentious with you, I fear. To preface this, know that I speaking with your best interests in mind, and that of your mission. No matter how.....hurtful my words may be, I mean no harm to you." "That being said.....*Sighs*......I'm well aware of of your father's disappearance in the Skull Ruins, and where exactly he was last reported before he vanished: The Kadabra Chambers. A most arcane and mystical local, even in comparison with the Skull Ruins. Ones that whomever has entered, never returns." "Considering all that and the nature of the Skull Ruins.......Nate.......I believe your father is....dead. Gone. Lost forever, in those Kadabra Chambers. And that even if he is not.....you shouldn't try to pursue him regardless." ........... "To do so unnecessarily.......you would be putting yourself in grave and unwarranted danger and risk. In your rescue attempt, you could and most likely would suffer the very same fate as your father, along with the rest of our friends, who will no doubt join you. If your father, one of the best trainers in the region, on that could challenge The Elite Four, with access to who knows what resources and experience, could not deliver himself from that wicked place......." ............ ".....What's more, you are on a mission, who's outcome will determine the fate of the entire Cheshire region. To divert yourself from that in such a way that could irrepecably compromise it, and increase the odds that it will end in failure....I don't need to say more. You're a highly intelligent man, Nate. I don't need to patronize you by spelling it out." .............. "......Finally......consider who else stands to suffer, in the event that you should catastrophically fail to bring salvation to Marco: the rest of your family. Most importantly, your mother, Marta. From what I could find, Marco's disappearance devastated her, and you were the main reason she didn't suffer a breakdown of some sorts. Still, it had affected her severely, enough that she became overly protective and coddling of you until only recently, and allowed you to Cloyster yourself away from the world instead of seeking therapy for you and herself. I won't question her intentions or judgement, nor the outcome thereof - I'm the very last person to do that - but.....its evident that Marco's disappearance took its toll on everyone connected to him." "Now think.....what would happen to your mother if she lost you to the very same thing that claimed her husband? How would she handle such a monumental loss again, without someone so very close to her providing support?" ................ "..........I believe you see my points. Going after Marco.....it's a desperate gambit. One where failure could mean doom for all. Your mission......our friends.......your family......and everyone single being in Cheshire. Perhaps even the whole world, worst case scenario. From the most logical perspective, analyzing the risk vs. reward, and reviewing the opportunity cost, trying to save your father......its a unwise thing to do." ................... ".......As I said in my message, though, I will not dictate your actions. Only advise, and offer you options for you to consider. If you choose to attempt to rescue your father, regardless of what's at stake, then so be it. I will not judge you poorly for you decision, nor hold you in contempt. How could, when I've made such similar choices myself, all my life? Not doing more to keep my family together, rejecting my mother instead of trying to save her, denying my sister her own choice in that matter, slavishly devoting myself to my former idol, almost every unprofessional thing I did with Silverfish.....and most recently, forsaking you and our friends to save myself. I made all those foolish choices, and suffered dearly for it all. Yet, I wouldn't change any of it. For I did what I thought was right. For better, and worse. As you will do such yourself." ....................... "......Ha ha ha ha.....we're so alike, Nate, yet so very different. Maybe that's why we have such a warped, Contrary relationship. Where we look up and admire each other for so many things, while simultaneously are always in discord or in such a volitile state, despising, reviling, or at odds with so many other matters. Always there for each other, yet always against each other. Accepting each other for who we are, but trying to change or challenge those very same characters. My my, are we not a mess? Ha ha ha ha....." ... "Ah, but I digress! Looks like running our mouths is yet another quality of ours, hmm? Well, I suppose I should wrap up this call, if I am starting to pontificate on our relationship. Reshirim knows that won't lead to anything good! But before that.......know that no matter what our differences are, what conflicts we share.......that I am with you, Nate. I will pray for your success, for everything that dare stand against you to fall into ruin The King's Palace, and for you, everyone, to come back safe, sound, and alive. I'll be one of the first to greet you all with open arms when this cosmic disaster is over if I am.......well enough to, or if my work doesn't Tepig tie me up. If I can't......you can certainly count on me being there to see you challenge Bo. How could I miss out on the event that will see you crowned as Cheshire's new Champion? It would be a royal shame if I couldn't attend such a grand triumph, hmm?" "Be well, Nate. Overcome the trails before you, and rise up to become The Hero , who's epic will outshine, burn out, and replace Sarimanok's dread legacy." "Good bye, and may we meet again. To celebrate each other's accomplishments.....and perhaps......perhaps then I will finally become a person that can unambiguously be a good friend to you." *Click* From the warm finality of his most recent and personal farewells to Nate, it strongly conveys the notion he won't answer them again. The time for talk was over. Now, it was time to move on, and act. [/i]
Like the wind, I come and go as I please... but I am always there to provide a comforting breeze.

*sniff*
Nathan just stares at his pokedex for a good minute or so after Ventus hangs up. Was it everything he wanted to hear? No, not by a long shot. Some of it was even the exact opposite. ...was it what he needed to hear? Quite possibly. ... ...he might only be talking to his 'dex now, but Nathan can't help but say, "...you don't give yourself enough credit, you know...always the pessimist among us...Cynthia gave you Raphael for a reason...you did nothing wrong with how you treated Silverfish...if there was anything you did right, it was that..." *sniff* "...I'll just have to prove there's still hope after all, I guess...I have to find out what happened to my dad...for my family's sake...and the region's...maybe that'll be enough to show that there's still some light at the end of your path too..." *sniff* Gallade's been standing at the door the entire time, silently observing, waiting to intervene if and when it becomes necessary... ----------------------------------- Terra (and whoever else is there) hears the door to Nathan's room unlock after the sobbing stopped again for several minutes. And then it slowly opens, and Gallade peeks out from behind it. He nods to Terra and Raphael (if Raphael is indeed there after Shiva said he could go try and help) and whoever else, and lets them in. Nathan's sitting on his bed, legs drawn in to his chest, his pokedex sitting next to him. His face looks a little red, making it even more obvious that he was the source of the sobbing. He's set his fedora off to the side, his hair looking a little messy. He doesn't comment at first, but when Raphael flies over, he does give the angelic bird a hug. A faint, "...thank you for coming..." can be heard.
