[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

He shakes his head and gestures dramatically at his nose again. Then he gestures further down the tunnel in the direction Heart went.

"...so they're being influenced by whatever is c-causing this.  Got it."

He looks at Swadloon a little longer...

"...they can stay together, then...I just hope Leavanny isn't always like this..."

He stays close to Swiftfire, but doesn't mount her since she's hurt at the moment.

"...let's go find everyone else.  I hope we have enough medical supplies between the five of us...I hope they didn't fare too badly..."

(Well, how do Ventus, Shiva, and Valder react when they see Swiftfire is Lethally injured?)

Going to go get Ventus will take some time, but you can do it.

(Will do so. Also a small edit, female Tricwe is the one Shiva mostly desires to catch, before Harylect. Swarm Ability!

When everyone has more or less gathered Valder informs everyone (although he's facing Ventus while speaking) that if they're interested in a fainted delta Forretress with a peculiar ability they are welcome to thank him later. Valder does kinda nudge at Ventus being the main recipient of the message, but mostly since Valder is Ventus' merc, and he gotta make himself slightly usefull.

[Nylon]

Oh, and when Valder see Swiftfire he gets a bit worries, but keeps himself some distance away, not being sure what to do.

Ugh. They're seem to be not only pesky pesky Bug Types down here, but als just as pesky Deltas. Respectfully Shiva holds back and doesn't speak up, but from the way she has faced Valder himself as he shared the information she certainly has received his message, but from how she doesn't respond to it it seems like she's not interested in obtaining or even seeing it. Her gaze seems to say 'No, but thanks for informing us!'

(Or, let's try somethingelse: Quick flashforward.)


The sight of Swiftfire displaying something that looked like nasty flesh wound from a Slash scared Shiva, caused her to flinch at the spot in startle while a worried expression flashed over her face.

Instantly, she didn't grab for her cell with the pictures of the Bug types she met but for the Healing Items she's carrying with her - with a sigh she realized that she doesn't own too many anymore either, but that doesn't mean that she's not up to help. But before that, she looks over to Valder and keeps her gaze on him non-intimidatingly, waiting for him to return her gaze patiently. When he did, the insecurity he felt became obvious to her, it strongly reminds her on herself when things got dire not too long ago.

Calmly, she speaks up to him. "Valder, listen! I...well, I don't know if I'm in the position to ask you that and you don't HAVE to answer, but how many Potions do you actually carry with you? And, would you be fine with parting with one for the sake of Swiftfire? I would, but I'm spare on them myself. P....please?" She keeps her gaze on him, seems to use Baby-Doll Eyes on him.

She keeps her gaze on him, seems to use Baby-Doll Eyes on him.

It's super effective! Valder's potion count was harsly lowered!

 "I-I have four on me. I'll give you one". Valder takes a breath and relaxes himself. He looks at Swifire and wonders what happened.
One potion transferred to Shiva.

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

The Baby-Doll Eyes develop into a small smile carefully radiating with thankfulness, as if using a held back Dazzling Gleam. "Many thanks, Valder! We're owing you something." ONLY IF he allows, she even pats him on the back. ^^

That 1 Potion gets handed to Nathan immediately with the words "There you go, for your firely horse! Poor thing."

With that dealt with, she perks and boldly speaks up again. "N-Now then, please listen! What I'll be telling may sound like a huge tall tale just like these Eevee with way too many fur from Torren, but by my beloved Cottonee's invisible mouth until it evolves I'm swearing that it's true! I...I've been flying on Tropius further down the tunnel after having stopped to let Ventus go when I've been stopped myself by two yellow buglike Pokemon that I've never seen before - one bigger and one smaller one. They fired spiderwebs in my direction. Of course I landed then, only to be greeted by two more bugs that looked like fierly ants, again a big one and a small one. I was intrigued when MORE came from a nearby puddle, two blue and spongy ones! The smaller one bounced when it fell to the ground and from my Tropius neck."

She paused a little, took a breath before she continued. "They've attacked me right away. Attempted mutiny! Thanks to Dizzy we've defeated them AAAALLLLL. Hehe! Some of 'em I caught, like that cute small yellow one." Suddenly, she pauses again, shorter however, seemingly growing a little meek. "But.... I assume they're from this regions called 'Tandor', do you know something about them? Like, the names of the species?"

She then proceeded to show him and everyone who wants to see them as well the photos of the fainted bugs in a slideshow, renaming each picture with the name of the species that Nathan can hopefully tell.

When Shiva and Ventus return to the site of the bugly massacre, they find a crew of Durant chomping happily on the bodies.

(5) The little beelike Pokemon, the yellow spider, and the tiny fire ant are still alive. The rest have been summarily dismantled.

The Durant flee at the first sign of aggression.
