[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

Melly isn't even paying attention to the aquatic fox, instead casting her gaze at every human in the room, looking at them all with great interest and with the barely restrained urge to go energetically greet them (and maybe, just maaaaybe, get some pettings too). ESPECIALLY Nathan and Shiva, since they have the faint scent of DOGS on them! She sooooo want to meet her fellow canines and get to know them soon, if at all possible! Oh, and play and have some good FUN with them too, yes yes~!!!

However, she refrains from doing that, as not only did she know Terra would disapprove of her exuberately hounding the others, but she had the job of looking after Duskull, and making sure he didn't get up to any trouble. That's a BIIIIG no no, so she has to focus on him and do everything she can do to prevent it, or stop him quickly! She won't let her master down!

Shiva picks up this IMMENSE JOY from Melly pretty raw and strongly, it's almost too much for her to bear! She hasn't learned yet how to shield herself and her empathic senses from strong emotions. Melly's overjoyed excitement hits her in a positive way though and she warms herself on these happy emotions as she soaks them up into herself with every breath she takes.

She does so silently though and remains calm and worried, but if Melly really really likes Shiva strokes her a little bit. <3 Tanuki growls a bit at that dog and summons a few sparks with Tunder Shock herself that rain down on Melly.

"So...we going to save the region once again like last time. I was planing in challenge Tanuki, but with the danger of a big comet heading towards our planet, this can be delay. But sorry if I ask but what kinda of place is Elanor? I not native of Cheshire. Know something about it Nathan? The kind of surprises we may find there? Pokemon, people, maybe a town?"

Very very quietly, Shiva does answer, she's almost meek when she speaks about Elanor. However, neatly hidden behind her wet eyes, are sparks flying into every direction as she adores that small town for some many reasons.

She's slipping her Guidebook with the map of Creshire to show Heart the location of that town. "It's in that direction, located here in the savannah. It's a small and quite town where music is played constantly as it sounds, and it's having a Gym. It's also home of most delicate and beautiful flowers that, eh....kinda interest me just as much as their Sunstone Mine. Rare celestial Pokemon like Solrock and Clefairy can also be found only in or near Elanor."

How she wishes to go there for the association with Shaymin also, Shiva keeps for herself though. That's her personal thing and she has never been the type of person who shares everything she does or has found nor shouts things from the rooftop.

Nathan doesn't have to be an empath to know that his statement caught Shiva's attention.  He's half expecting questions later...half not.

---------

"...I'm not sure it's likely to be an actual comet...probably more of a representation of the current danger levels than an actual foretelling ofwwhat will actually happen...I think...I don't think even Sarimanok could control celestial bodies..."

Nathan's not touched his food yet.  Gallade's looking at Nathan curiously.

"...all I know for certain is that there's...something in those Ruins...something that drove Regirock completely out of control...whatever that danger is, it's here, in this region..."

...Nathan has more to say, but he's a little...reluctant to share it.  He's still trying to process it himself...

Gallade can tell that Nathan seems to think it's important, though, so he gives Nathan a little nudge to encourage him to speak up.  After another moment of hesitation and a sigh, he does.

"...I...I saw something too.  I've been feeling those...weird lurches ever since we left Atheneum...and the last one I felt, it...it triggered a...a...a vision..."

Judging by how much Gallade is blinking in surprise, this is news to him too.

What it is Nathan saw, he doesn't immediately say. Might take a little more urging from someone other than Gallade...

(Not from me, I'm sorry. One more time, good night then!~ But that vision-thing Nathan saw felt to me like it's pointing towards traveling in direction Elanor as well.)

To Shiva:

When Shiva talk about Clefairy, Heart remember about the Moonstone. A place where Clefairy lives and have a Sunstone mine, maybe there is Moonstones. "Its problably indeed looks a lovely place. And if I recall, Cottonee line evolve though Sunstones. Another reason for you to go there Shiva. And since there is Clefairy there, it is another fairy for you to catch Shiva. I remember you mentioned the wish in find one. With some luck, perhaps we may find a Moonstone and that way you can evolve Clefairy..." Heart almost say Caesar too, but he remember about her fear with Nidorinos. If he say something about Caesar evolve to Nidoking...no, there is no reason to worry Shiva even more. "If you want Shiva, I may offer my help to hunt a Clefairy and Moonstones."

To Nathan:

Heart was worry with Nathan face. He aproach Nathan and put a hand in his shoulder. Maybe in the past, Heart would not do such action. But after everything they have come though, and the secret and confidence Heart give to Nathan about the ArcHeart Clan, and the story of his tragic past, Nathan have some trust of Heart. "What kind of vision Nathan? We not going to force to tell old friend, but any piece of information would be very much apreaciated. Whatever demon you are facing, we fight together. You have help me to face mine, so let me help face yours."

".....What did you see, Nathan? Please, tell us. If its......important, we need to know."

Terra abruptly interjects at this point, arms crossed and his expression completely neutral, save for his eyes, which shined with interest....and concern.

Underneath his stoic façade, he's rather confused AND worried about this whole cryptic 'Disaster from the Stars' , but he doesn't let it show. Panicking or his befuddled interupttions for context/explanation wouldn't be condusive for the meeting, so for now he just tries to follow along the best he could, and save his questions for later (or not, if he gains understanding later/doesn't need to understand the deeper meanings).
 
Somebody also has to keep a calm head to help the others out when needed and make rational decisions, and since everyone else seems to distressed to some degree, it falls to him to be that person. Should be easy.....hopefully.

"...it's...weird...I saw a vision...but...it wasn't one Gallade was sharing with me...he felt the lurch too and had a vision at the same time...but his was...apparently just a vision of this Pokemon Center...mine was...completely different..."

...the very fact that he saw a vision almost entirely separate from Gallade is what he's having trouble trying to process.

"...weirder still, it was...a vision...of a vision...I saw...Kirlia, before he'd evolved into Gallade...maybe before I'd devolved him even...I'm not sure...but...he was viewing a vision of...me...holding a glowing sword that I can only presume to be the same one that keeps getting mentioned..."

...

"...I was...pointing southwest with it.  And there was a sense of...urgency.  That's all..."

...

He knows Shiva is going to latch on to that immediately and say it points to Elanor.  100%.  He's been around her long enough to pick up on her general behavior.

...and frankly, the thought just kinda depresses him a little.

"...Elanor is almost directly west of Cress.  Southwest is...Teazel Valley and the Safari Zone."

Nathan does not seem comfortable saying that. At all. He's totally expecting Shiva to flame him or get super depressed for one reason or another, given that he's offering contradictory opinions to her own. Again. Even though it's with good reason.

Heart give some time to think. "Hmm...one direction lead to Southwest. Another lead to west. Both have visions with great urgent...Maybe its a vision of Mesprit telling us to do something...and that sword...there might be a clue of the sword Ark have mentioned during our journey in Mt. Sentry. Very unlikely but its a clue." Heart then look to both Shiva and Nathan. "But that means...we can only choose one destination to go. We will have to choose a place to go...or divide our group to go to Eleanor and the other to Teazel Falley. Before you say something Shiva, I believe we should give a chance to Nathan vision too. He did many merits in the past. And as much me and him fight against each other in the past, I want to give him too the benefit of the doubt."

[Lord Windos]

Terra didn't say anything at the moment, but he did let out a grunt in agreement when Heart spoke up positively for Nathan's shake. He wasn't truly aware of the....interparty spats the rest of the group got up to in the past, nor understand much of the drama that underlined the rests relationships with one another, but to the mountainous that didn't matter, for he was fully supporting of the scholarly trainer regardless of it. They had no reason to distrust and/or be skeptical of them at this point, and several that proved the contrary, so that was that for the simple monk.

Heart imagine Shiva would might be stressed with such revelation of info. He decided to speak with her. "Don't worry or stress yourself to much about it Shiva! We already beat some dangers in the past: We save Cheshire from a bunch of evil hentai vines, we come to Aetheum and stop the Scimitars from taking the secrets of the Secret Library and get the HM Rock Smash. We all very experienced and almost Ace Trainers by now. And we have a powerful group here: "

- A grumpy Trainer.
- A Fairy Dragonslayer
- A monk
- And a PUNisher

"I believe not matter the dangers, as long we stay determine and with hope, we can face anything. Who's with me!" Heart almost stand up in the couch but he slip and fall behind the couch. "Ouch...that's not a good hero position."

"....What's 'hentai'?"

...aaaaand at that utterance of the....sordid term, Terra piques up, looking mildly perplexed.

"Never heard it before. Sounds....strange, though, if it......describes those bad vines."

…My my. 

"...*Beat, then looks over to the collector* Oh, and don't stand on furniture, Heart. Bad for it, and back you."

...Okay.
