[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

"Huh?... Eh... Well, sure I can help you evolving your Pokemon... If you know what you're doing that is! Because, you know, I kinda like Trevenant. They're Ghost Type, yes, and they are big and scary and can be violent and stuff, and did I say that they are biiiig Pokemon?" *sweeping gestures with arms, taking Braixen's paw along* "A-At least to the myths I know... I never saw one in real. But it's interesting that they have a role of protecting the forest they live in. Like, they allow other Pokemon to build their nests and raise their young among their branches and make sure they grow up protective and healthy, isn't that nice? - but on the other side they are known to mercilessly punish those that harm 'their' forest and look down on people who don't treat nature with respect."

"...I don't even know whether a Trevenant would obey in a battle. Being traded isn't such a pleasant experience to a Pokemon either I believe. I dunno whether the rumors about tea made with leaves of a Phantump are true, but I know that natural health professionals like this Pokemon."

As Nathan and Ventus finish speaking and breaking the hug, Swiftfire sends wave after wave of increasing warmth to the two men. In fact, a lot of heat! And some red light, too... So much now you cannot even see her? Swiftfire is evolving?!?

[Iron]

Kirlia, too, feels a lot better.

Raphael does a loop-de-loop and makes a little burbling noise at Nathan's remarks. He gains +1 Loyalty (to Ventus, if that's not clear). Perhaps some of his doubts have been assuaged.


Poochyena is fine with being out of his Pokeball, and he kind of enjoys riding on Shiva's shoulder while he's still a puppy!

Through the pathless swamps, the fire horses carve a temporary line of charred vegetation and dry mud. At least getting out of here might be faster than getting in. You have no idea how far into the swamp you are...maybe somewhere near the center? Unfortunately the village is all the way southeast!

This list will stay the same for the next two encounter slots! A lot of Pokemon are now following this trail you've made, confused by its disturbance.

(Looks incredibly cute in my imagination.)


"Now, you want to avoid the muddy ground, but stay out? Fine, up with you... Comfortable, you say? How cute of you..." *playful nuzzle* "Close your eyes while I'll spray a Potion on you, as I don't whether it might sting."

One Potion's used on Yena before continuing the path, putting her back to full health.

Nathan's eyes go wide at this! O_O

He's got no intention of stopping this evolution!  Though why is she evolving now of all times?

Well, not like it matters too much.  Nathan holds on to Swiftfire tightly, and Kirlia holds on to him.  Sitting atop your mount as they're evolving is definitely a one of a kind experience!

In a final burst of light, Swiftfire's body grows to full size and a horn sprouts from her head! Nathan finds himself an extra two feet above the ground! This should be helpful for going through these swamps.

Nathan's eyes are no longer dry again.

But this time, they're tears of joy.

One step closer to helping her achieve her full potential...

A small part of him wishes the circumstances were different, but he's too happy to care much about that right now.

*Slight Flashback*
(No reaction to words about Raphael's mom, since he finds nothing wrong about them)

The empath smiled brightly when he realized that his much beloved child Raphael has now regain their full trust in them, feeling so joyfull that he felt like bursting out into laughter right this instance. They had finally reconciled at last, praise Reshirim for that!

Ventus eyebrows shot straight up as Swiftfire began radiating massive quantities of heat (More than enough to evaporate any lingering moisture on him!) and started glowing! 'So she evolving now of all times, is she not? I've heard the phenomina of Pokémon evolving during particularly siginificant moments in their or their trainer's life more frequently than not, so I suppose this is not entirely unexpected now,' the researcher though, watching as her form polymorphed into that of a bold, fierce Rapidash!

*End of Slight Flashback*

Stopping in his tracks for a moment, Ventus decided some kind words were in order for this momentous event! "Blessed day it is indeed, for Swiftfire to evolve into the pinnicle of her power, into the mighty, brave, and bold Rapidash! My deepest congradulations, Nathan."

"Hmm you right. They are are kinda a few disobedient too when they evolved. Viktor and I have a strong conection....perhaps for now its better to hold his evolution. At least for now. I dont want him to become wild and begin attack people around." Heart think for a second and bring Phantump out of his Pokeball. He hug the little tree in his arms. "I heard too Phantumps are childs who lost in the forest and they become Phantumps. I dont thinks if is truth or not, but I do feel like some conection with Viktor. Viktor, would like be out of your Pokeball for a while? I can heal the wounds with a Potion if you want. 

When they are close with the others. "It seems Nathan is happy with something. His Ponyta was big like that before?"
