[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Iron]

"Well sir, I'm a bit of a craftsman, and I can tell you that a lot of good stuff can be made out of those rare minerals the meteors bring. Gym badges, for example. Pokedexes, I believe. Even trace amounts in a Pokeball. Anything with that shiny color. Maybe it attracts them. BUT. There are some who say those Pokemon traveled with the meteors! If you ever see a Solrock or Lunatone, it's a sure thing they came from a meteor. Or so they say. That's why the Solrock is the mascot of Elanor Town."

...

Well, Staryu and Starmie are said to have some sort of connection to space and the stars...and Comite and its evolutions are actually from space if Sheldon was to be believed...well, enough pondering that for now...

"Another question then.  I've noticed some pokemon seem to like the flowers quite a lot, while some seem to avoid them whenever possible.  That could be for any number of reasons since every pokemon is different, of course, but have you noticed any trends in what pokemon seem to like and/or dislike the flowers?"

"Yes, maybe. I'd say Grass types like them. Fairy types. Rock types. Even Flying types. And definitely a lot of the Pokemon who are rumored to come from space, which probably led to the rumors in the first place. "

Ventus finished his song with nary a flourish or much aplomb, but never the less it ended on a high note, filled with thought that despite the misfortunes of life and the vile things that exist, their was always hope that things could be improved for the better. Its a belief he's proven himself, so he knows that its true.

Shiva, being a highly emotional person in the first place, practicing to clear her mind from any outside noise to leave room only for music/feelings/lyrics AND sharing a bond with Ven anyway, was incedibly moved as instead of repeating the original lyrics in her mind while gazing into the dancing embers of the bonfire, listened to Ven's own ones. In fact, she failed to hold any tears back, and needed a moment to realize them at first before drying them with the back of the hand that was not holding the stick carrying her dinner.

She avoided to look at Ven though as she spoke up though, feeling somewhat vulnerable, yet she was sporting a smile. "Ven, dear... that lyrics of yours, well, I...don't need to say anything about them. I guess as a next step, you can learn the melody of the song from my book? But...maybe not today..."

Aron: (5)

"Heh, better ready that Combee be ready to receive a good 4x Damage against Rock! Time to rock this place! Use Rock Tomb against Combee two times!"

Rock Tomb 1 Acuracy: Dex (3) + Fight (2) + Canalize (3) - Actions (2) - Acuracy (1) = 5d6
Rock Tomb 2 Acuracy: Dex (3) + Fight (2) + Canalize (3) - Actions (3) - Acuracy (1) = 4d6

Damage: STR (3) + Power (2) + STAB (1) + SE (2 because Combee is 4x times weak against Rock?) = 6d6+1 or 6d6+2

Notes: I dont really know how it work with pokemon with double weakness. And Rock Tomb reduce the foe Dex.

Hmmm...Nathan thinks for a moment...again, this is reminding him of something from awhile ago...

'Back when we were on Route 01...Ralts didn't just like them per se...he was really, really serious...that, and he pointed out some specific details of the flowers in relation to the meteor...hmmm...well, there'll be time enough to think about it later...though I do kinda see why Lucifer liked the flowers so dang much now...'

Nathan nods.  "Well, thank you for your time, sir.  I need to be on my way now."

And with some of his many questions answered, it's time for Nathan to head back to the Center.  He's not going to be in the lobby, though.  Instead, he'll be spending the remainder of the time before bed playing with Orthros in his room at the Center.

He's exhausted, and he doesn't want to think about how he can't find a way to meaningfully contribute to the plan Shiva developed and seemed determined to carry out no matter what...nor does he want to think about the criticisms she launched his way...he's been distracted and relatively unfocused on the things he should be all day...

...it feels like he's letting everyone down, really...and despite Kirlia's attempts at comfort, there's not many positives that Nathan can see in this situation...

Shiva was not the only friend who's heart was touched by Ventus' Skirl, for Lilith (Who had been sitting on his shoulder and ignoring/enjoying the attention she received from the locals) had been listening to her trainer's song and found it hard not cry or let out a comforting chirp for them. Instead, she settled for patting their shoulder with one of their wings and gave them a nod of approval of the music they wove, as that allowed them both praise/consul him without sacrificing her prideful and aloof image she has in front of everyone. At the very least she now has an inkling of her trainer's inner pain/past, and that made them all the more respectful that they conquered it for the most part!

In reponse for both women's kind words/advice/gestures , the empath gave a wane but true smile to the both of them, patted his birdpent on the head for their show of silent support, and afterwards placing a gentle hand on his dearest friend's shoulder and nodded. "Thank you, dear. I'm sorry for making you cry on my behalf, as no one should because of event from my distant past, but I'm grateful you care enough to shed them for me. Yes, I'll learn the melody tomorrow, but for now how about we celebrate this night with fine food and even more delightful cheer, instead of ruminating on such negative things?"

Order: Enjoy the rest of the night with Shiva, Lilith, and Michael (Who will be let out soon!), and then head to bed with Shiva. If she asks about sharing a bed with him, he'll agree to it for her shake! Today has been a peaceful one, and I enjoy if all the more because of it!
