[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Dragonstrike]

"The stew has a better restorative effect on Ghost-type Pokemon, but yes it should restore other Pokemon as well." "Do you mind if I go with you? Who knows when something like those Electabuzz will pop up again." "Noire and Hida, have some of the stew to show that it is completely safe." (Noire +4HP; Hida+2 HP)

"...of course it does..."

Well, given that Ray and Gallade are the only other ones besides Luna that were hurt in the battle and there's only enough stew for 2 more pokemon at most, I assume it's fine that they get those servings (assuming they'll eat it.  I'm assuming Hida is able to stomach it, but how much that helps beyond saying 'it's not poisonous for a lava slug' is debatable).  Nathan looks at Ray and Gallade.  "...well, you guys want to give it a try?  It...seems to be at least a little restorative...I think...it's kinda hard to tell with Slugma, to be honest..."  (Any input for them, @Iron?)

As for the question about traveling with them to Elanor...

"Well, I don't have any objections.  The saying 'everything happens for a reason' also exists with good reason, right? What do the rest of you think, though?"  (The underlined part is meant to be a hint to Heart, Terra, and Shiva that Nathan doesn't think this meeting with Spira is a coincidence, as he did inform them of Celebi's general rule on time travel stuff rather recently) @PhantomUnderYourDesk @Spiritmon (and also technically @Lord Windos, but he's busy right now, so I won't actually tag him at this time)

[Iron]

Ray is too fastidious to eat the stew without specific orders to do so. Gallade is willing to undergo all kinds of discomfort if it gets him back in fighting shape after the Hurtloam. He's decided to trust Spira, so he braces himself, eats it, gains 2HP, and grimaces.

"Well, I don't have any objections.  The saying 'everything happens for a reason' also exists with good reason, right?  What do the rest of you think, though?"  (The underlined part is meant to be a hint to Heart, Terra, and Shiva that Nathan doesn't think this meeting with Spira is a coincidence, as he did inform them of Celebi's general rule on time travel stuff rather recently)  @PhantomUnderYourDesk @Spiritmon (and also technically @Lord Windos, but he's busy right now, so I won't actually tag him at this time)

"Well...I see no problems with that. After all we are heading more or less in the direction right?" Heart mount again in the back of Gargryph in the most Western movie style. "Mount in the back of Gargryph and let's go heading away from Cress City."

(Is Gargryph big enough for two people mount @Iron?)

He's strong enough for that. Definitely not comfortable enough to work in combat, but for traveling it's not much worse than two people being mounted on a horse.

Ray is too fastidious to eat the stew without specific orders to do so. Gallade is willing to undergo all kinds of discomfort if it gets him back in fighting shape after the Hurtloam. He's decided to trust Spira, so he braces himself, eats it, gains 2HP, and grimaces.

Which means more stew for Spira's ghosts, I guess.

"Well, no offense, Spira, but I think Ray's just gonna pass on the stew for now.  You're Drifloon got hurt too, though, right?  More for them, I guess?"

Nathan looks at Gallade.  "Feelin' a little better, buddy?  Think you can manage a Heal Pulse for Ray?"

Gallade nods.  Yeah, he can manage that, even though that stew left a really bad taste in his mouth (and given that he's a Psychic type, that probably doesn't help it taste any better, either).  He's too polite to do much more than quietly grimace and try to stomach it, though.

One Heal Pulse on Ray
Acc: 12 - 2 Pain = 10 D6
Eff: Basic Heal (which equals 3 D6 for Ray.  Ray currently has 3 HP because Discharge did only 3 damage to him because Grass/Rock resists Electric)

[Iron]

(5)(1)(4)(4)(1)(5) (3)(1)(3)(5)
(5)(6)(2) +2 HP

"Okay Luna, before we get going, you can finish off the stew." (+4HP putting her back at 8HP)
He then puts all the stuff that he took out of his bag (stuff that shouldn't have fit in the first place) back into his bag, and takes his coat that Noire was holding up for him.

For the most part, Shiva ended up subtly excluding herself from Nathan, Heart and the young and tough man whose name she coincidently caught up as 'Spira', when Terra also got busy to investigate the fainted Electabuzz for any loot they might carry she opted to stay where she currently was and only seek her Pokemon's company. This was a secure non-verbal sign that she was doing anything but okay, subliminal worry was almost paralyzing her. All she wanted was to go back to their time, to Bill and to the modern Chreshire, in 1925 not even her parents were born yet. What SHE was doing here and at the moment now she failed to understand regardless how much she pondered about it, all she can do now is to trust in Celebi, to trust that the grassy fealike psychic knew what it was doing.

Her personal liking and meeting with it down there at The Gauntlet eventually added to that and allowed her to calm down at least a little, enough to not stare at the PTC on her wrist anymore while sitting there all huddled but actually listen what the others are talking there with the person they've met here. Raphael was still by her side as the serene archangel, he leaned into her side with one wing softly laid around her back while radiating a soothing aura. Vaporeon trotted back to Shiva all contently after she has extinguished the buring trees as asked, and immediately got curious about that battered umbrella Master was offering her. Sniffing on it, Vaporeon eventually heartily bit into it, she quickly pulled back upon a very mild static shock ran through her body. Despite this suprise though she ended up wanting to keep a hold onto this thing as she could feel something within it that reminded her on a clear river streaming down.

Shiva impercibly gasped upon Heart sharing that the Pokemon Spira just caught was a POISON TYPE from Tandor, in a flash of fear she ended up hugging Raphael which in return caused Helios to take an even more self-assured stance, now with radiating protectiveness and loyality to his Master. Being left alone at the moment anyway/the others were busy, she felt secure enough to very very carefully draw her Almanac to see what it can tell her about 'Chupacho'. 'Know your enemy', as Ven would have said! (Your call @Iron.)


However, words like 'egg group' catch Shiva's attention; and when it's been revealed that this young man was indeed what she was already subliminally thinking and Heart even called it a very cool profession - which, from the way she mildly blushed, must have been taken by her as a hidden compliment - she ended up facing Spira/@Mikaruge108 with a look that displayed very real and very honest INTEREST, at some point while she was doing that he even asked HIMSELF whether he could tag along. In fact, before she knew it, her thoughts became words. "You are a Breeder, Spira...? How.... How fortune! You just have to tell me more about that when we're having the time, sure you can, eh, join from my side then. Please put that poisonous Chupacho away though..."

She even ends up offering her hand to him as a friendly greeting. "I'm..... Shiva, by the way, the second name is unimportant. Born Unovian. Fairies, Grass Types and Breeding are my things, as I... am aiming to become a professional leading my own Daycare."
