[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

Snakes... Ugh. The worst that can happen to Fairies and Plants alike. Wait, wasn't one of them with a Togepi...?

„That'll do, I guess. There seems to be some sort of power or at least a natural strain inside every Psychic-Type... Dad always took care to breed with those that were most distinctive on this. No idea though how to tell how distinctive this trait is in a selected parent... “
„I believe it has to do alot with the mind, so concentration and awareness might play a bigger role. Training those could definitely help.“

"Concentration and awareness....hmmmm....yes, I think you're on to something there...alright I think I have a few more ideas now.  I'm definitely going to need some help with executing them though.  I'd appreciate it greatly if you and Cottonee were to join me.  Who knows?  Maybe Cottonee will even benefit from it once it's all done."

[Super_trainer_Larry]

As Larry thought deeply over the words Vetus yesterday said he told Vetus and Vicent "I under stand my actions where stupid and im sorry for the trouble I caused you two I promise not to do it again" Larry said. Larry went up to Vincent and Vetus and said "I don't think I introduced my self" Larry extends his hand and says "hi im Larry"

Larry said "the only reason I attempted to take the nest on my own is I tried to impress everyone with what a great trainer I thought I was, I thought if I could beat the nest all by my self people would see me as a person worth caring about, the only people who kept me grounded was my mom and my zorua. Zorua was the one I cared about the most when I used to be a trainer she would keep me thinking "should I do this or not" she was my best friend and I just don't under stand why I left her to start a new journey, all year my actions as a trainer haven't been the best, Oshawott he is new to me and adapting to a new pokemon after years of another one is hard caring for a new pokemon will be tough but I will eventually."

Larry picked up Oshawott and said "Oshawott im sorry for what I've done" Oshawott looked at him happily and Larry put him down and pat him on the head saying "good boy"

Greatly appreciated... if she and Cottonee were to join...?

"Eh... If that's what you wish for... alright, then... I guess..."

[Lord Windos]

"Camping gear is expensive, hm... I have a few old tarps that you can have for free. A top of the line tent big enough for all of you would be $2,300 if you buy it from me. It actually has Pokemon repellent in the fabric.

Ekans is a somewhat desirable Pokemon for its size, but I tell you honestly Trillium isn't the place to sell one, since this is a Newbie Zone where poison attacks are not allowed. I'll give you $300 for it, but you can get a much better deal for that Ekans elsewhere. I heard there's a carnival coming up next week in Ginger Town, maybe you could try there? Or there are people who will buy ANYTHING in Stair City. Also make sure no one else in your group of friends wants it!"

" Hmm, I didn't think camping gear would be this expensive, but by the sounds of it, its of the highest quality. I'll see if I can't get the group to pitch in to help buy it. Otherwise, I'll look around town for some odd job until I get enough pay to afford it. Thanks for info as well, Docter. I'll see you around, hopefully with research instead of... missing body reports." Ventus said, before he turned around and headed towards the exit. As he was leaving, though, he heard Vince talk about their Phone function of his Pokedex, and helpfully chimed in. "If I am not mistaken, all newer models of Pokedex come with the Region's Proffesor predialed in it! At least, that is what I picked up when I swug around the tech department of my college. As for my phone number..."

"Ven dug around his bag, before pulling out what looked to be a business card. "I am not one for formalness, but I had a few cards with my contact information made before coming here.  Never know who I might meet, and how they could help benefit my research. Its how I managed to get into contact with Dr. Mallorn in the first place, so a bit of networking never hurts." He said to Vincent, a small smile on his face as he was discussing details with him. He is glad Vince warmed up to him and care about his input in these matters. Despite some bumpiness when they were getting to knew each other, its seems they were going to be great friends. Ah, how perfect that is!

"I'm heading to the Pokémon Center myself, so we might as well go together. My Pokémon need some proper medical care, and, as you said early, having more People around when I get to know my Ekans is a sound idea. I think we'll leave Larry in Mallorn care for now. After he's had a chance to mull over what we said, we'll check up on him tomarrow and see what he has to say." With that, he headed out with Vince to the Pokémon center, thinking about what he was going to say to the rest when they finally regroup. Words have great power, and he wants to make sure he doesn't misuse it.

Seeing he might have accidentally made Shiva a tad nervous, Nathan decides to shift the discussion to the other topic on his mind, partially hoping the one-on-one conversation will be interrupted soon.

"Glad to hear you're willing to help.  Now, what's taking the others so long to get here?  You don't think...nah, I'm sure they're fine.  They should be here soon...how do you think that Togepi fared though?  That's what I'm most concerned about currently..."

[Dies Irae]

There is a audible tap of a cane against the flooring as the door to the Pokemon centre swings open as Vincent hobbles into the building, his growlithe nonchalantly trotting along beside him.

"Couldn't help but overhear. The egg took a bit of a hit, but it'll be right as rain with a bit of care. The Doc is still haggling with the Prof over something but he should be dropping by in a bit. Kid's fine too." He glances over at Shiva and Nathan. "We cleaned out that snake nest on Route 1 as well. Just keep an eye out for the Doc and the kid when they're training. They picked up a pair of unpleasantly unruly Ekans in the bargain."

He plods over to the counter to schedule an cursory examination for Winston, then turns back to the group.

"So. How was the training? Productive?

He leans back against the counter, adjusting his pack slightly to avoid crushing the egg that sits heavily in it's back pocket. Fishing out the updated Pokedex, he thumbs through the settings, trying to figure out if it came with a map function.

Mechanics Check:
Does the upgraded 'Dex come with a region map function? If Yes, is it possible to guesstimate travelling time to Ginger on foot?

Very.  It was tough, but we pulled through.  Still need to train some more though.  I plan to do some special exercises with Ralts later to try and help Ralts learn Confusion with Shiva and Cottonees' help.

[Lord Windos]

A few minutes later, the doors of the Center swing open again, Ventus calmly marching forward to the front desk. Pulling out 2 Pokeballs, he placed them down in front of the Nurse Joy, looking a bit abash. "I'm sorry to bother you, but me and a couple of friends of mine went to clear that Ekans nest that was causing problems, but my Togepi got injured by one of the snakes before they were captured. Could you please treat them for me? I'd be ever so grateful, doctor."

While waiting for his Raphael and new addition's treatment, he walked over towards Shiva and Nathan. Observing the both of them, he noticed that they while they were tired, they seemed to be in high spirits. Perhaps they won their battle against Nurse Joy? "Greeting, my comrades. I trust you were successful in you bout against the good Nurse? If you would like, you can share the detail with me. I may be sociologist, but I know few of the intricacies behind Pokémon."

Upon seeing Ventus enter the room, Nathan becomes very matter of fact as opposed to the more social attitude he had been taking with Shiva and Vincent.

"Yes, we were successful in our battle against Nurse Joy.  As I was explaining to Vincent, it was hard, but we pulled through.  How'd you fare against those Ekans?  I hear Raphael got roughed up a bit?  How'd Larry fare?"
