[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Iron]

Carbink feels it has a duty here, but it wants to thank you for your help. A white, cottony ring comes wafting down from Carbink, which you catch easily. It's Carbink's collar - the Pokemon is already growing a new one to replace the one it shed.

The Pokedex says these are useful for polishing jewels.

Nathan nods.  "You be careful, Carbink.  I wish you all the best.  Thank you for the wonderful gift."

Alright, I suppose it's time to move on then.

"Well in that case my only option will have to find a teleport Pokemon myself. Relax, it's just the upper layer of the Skull Ruins. It's not like I going to fully enter that place. Besides, what other choice I have? I need to return Star City to recover the money I use to buy Pokeballs and medic items. And Cress City isn't exactly the best place to get money. Be a trainer it's complicated sometimes."

Shiva sighs. Hearty even, just when she didn't wanted to think of these Ruins... My, they're really omnipresent, or so it feels. "Well, good luck on your search then! But... I actually don't think Cress City might be a bad place to earn cash. Well, you can't earn some via battling with others, but there are certainly jobs if one asks around in town. Even if it'd be just making beds in one of the Bed&Breakfasts. But, whatever you feel suits you more...." She mildly shrugs. "We collected so many loot though that can be turned into cash, like these crystals and gems when we fought off the undead Sableye... Or now the farewell noble Slaking gave us. Do you plan to buy something super-expensive if you need even more cash?"

"Well, it's because I have capture some Pokemons in this place and I begin train them: Larvesta, Onix, Hypno, Typhon and many others. And Typhon even have finally evolve to his next evolution as a Eelektrick. I just need a Thunder stone to reach his final form, but that can be arranged later. Besides, after our time here in Mt. Sentry I feel more stronger than we enter! More stealth than a ninja and more alert as a soldier. I want try these teachings in battle."

When Shiva ask Heart about anything expensive he say. "Well, I was thinking in buying Sandstorm and Protect for Gargryph. With Substitute I have teach, he will make a excellent tank of my party. And I know where these TM is located: Cress City and Star City."

"Oh..... Typhpn was your Tynamo, right? Fine name. An....and congrats for him having having grown to a juvenile eel now!~" That explains the weird light light from direction of Slowking's Time Capsule and that strong feeling of joy and delight Shiva has picked up from the corner of her eye while she was browsing things.

"Humm.... If you're going to visit the Department Store anyway for these TMs you can certainly check whether they have Thunder Stones as well, these can be bought sometimes. I didn't see any, but I haven't checked for stones anyway, hehe.... Or I can try crafting you one if we'd happen to find more T....Thunderglass." A small break followed where Shiva said nothing and did nothing apart from glancing over her shoulder to assure that smol Delibird's still there (He carefully peeked from her backpack in the means of 'is fierly bug gone already?'), she seems to be nervous about something.

Eventually, she surrendered. "Haahh... But, please be cautious about the time you'll let him touch the stone to let his electricity flow resistanceless, Heart. Eelektross are strong and big and relatively popular, but they can also be reckless and dangerous just because. I've seen one of the Subway Boss Twins using his once or twice againts challengers on screen, and how it practically  steamrolled the opponent's Pokemon was... is... a scary sight. I don't doubt that you'll be able to handle it... But take care, alright?"

"Dont worry Shiva. Taking care of myself is my middle name. But I will take some time to let Typhon evolve. There is certain moves on Elektrick can learn Eelektross dont learn. And it is the necessary time I need to have a strong bond with my pokemon. Yeah. Thats remind me: Today is the day Gustav shed his claw. Could you help me with that Shiva? It might make a good food for today. One last lunch here in Mt. Sentry could be good. How about it?"

As you're leaving the area where Carbink was, you feel a sudden LURCH, and a sickening feeling in the pit of your stomach. The tunnels around you are suddenly different, much rougher and with a different layout. Then, just as suddenly, another lurch and everything returns to the way it was.

"...what was that?  That...didn't feel natural..."

(Ven is still with Nathan at the time [Though he's keeping quiet out of respect for both their privacy], so might he have an idea of what caused....THAT disturbance?)

[Iron]

The whole group experiences it, including Ventus. It felt like the Atheneum in some way.

"......Whatever it is, I rather not remain here any longer to figure it out. Let's regroup with the others and continue our expedition out of this mountain, Nathan."
