[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Dragonstrike]

The front forelegs are a little dirty, because it uses them to walk. Doesn't look like the Pokemon does much tunneling or anything like that though. 

The lizard eats all your honey and warms itself up near Rapidash. It ignores the dry food. It's treating you rather impersonally.

Hmmm...

"...now that I look at it, your front legs are looking a little dirty there.  I could clean them for ya if ya like, make 'em look a little spiffier.  Shouldn't be difficult.  No water involved, promise.  I've got the perfect tool for the job."

If the lizard doesn't have any complaints, Nathan will attempt to make those legs shine a little using that Fluffy Carbink Collar he got on the way out of Mt. Sentry.

I'll describe the diner more later, but there is a color TV as well as a pair of black and white TVs. The news allows you to discover the date: April 18, 1960. I'll also briefly mention that the diner is very Pokemon-friendly.

Dizzy is bored in the Chrome Age. There's not really much danger, nor does he know of anything to infiltrate.

I like your description of the Berries having Earthpower. All your Pokemon gain 2XP, and Cottonee gets a training roll.

6 Insight + 3 Knowledge + 0 Earthpower
(6)(4)(1)(2)(3)(5) (4)(2)(2) = 4 bonus XP.

When you examine Cherrim, you see there is a little swelling under her cloak of leaves. With your Breeder's knowledge, you recognize this as the start of a Cherubi Egg! You're not sure how it got there, but your Pokemon has it!

This Egg will become a true Egg on Day 72 back in 2017.

That tool works very well for the job.

The fossil Pokemon's forelegs now gleam the color of gold.

This is also the first time the Lizard has had a more personal reaction - he starts admiring his legs, and seems to understand you have made them purtier than he could have done himself.

"There.  All done.  Looks good, don't it?  And now everyone can see just how special you're species is."

A small smile from Nathan.

"I can help ya stay in tip top shape, and I've only got one thing ask of you in return: would ya mind joining me on my adventures?  No matter the hardships we come across, I'll make sure ya stay in good form.  No worries about food, a warm place to sleep, keeping your arms nice and shiny, greedy predators of all kinds...you're something special, and I want to make sure that it can be appreciated by everyone, including yourself.  Sound like a good deal?"

Bastiodon is paralyzed by Breloom or whoever.

Pokeball: (4)(5) vs (3)(6)

Gotcha! Bastiodon was caught!

(EDIT: Nevermind, you added the XP in post! + 2 XP too, since Angie is still holding her Lucky Egg!)

Angie's less than stellar initial engagement with the troublesome triceratops fully roused Terra from the slump he was in, his expression growing serious as he contemplated recalling her and sending Anubi out to go wild on the beast. He didn't want her to suffer unnecessarily, especially when she's hardly more than a child!

However, the seraph to be proved to be just as tough of a cookie as her Papa, for she persevered against her disorientation and decisively turned the tables on the Steely Sapient Shield! Bobbing and weaving through the earth and its Defense, Angie utilized a mix of Gracefulness and a sheer bloody minded determination to give her massive opponent a clobbering it wouldn't soon forget! Though she may be young and inexperienced, with her Moves and Papa's support, she would never falter! NEVER!

Once the Bastiodon was Fainted, she turned around and bounded up to her Papa, hopping up and down in excitement while letting out pleased and ever so slightly sassy *Ssszzzs!*  . Yes, yes, she did it! She beat the dinosaur, and a Steel one at that!! Nobody messes with her without getting all nipped and tripped up, *Ssszzz!*  Didn't she did a GREAT job, Papa?

All this warmth and excitement from the smol chubby snake managed to clear away the last of his muddledness , bringing a smile to his face as he picked her up and lovingly rubbed her head while simultaneously checking her injuries over, to which she started cooing happily in response as she leaned into his touch. 

"Good job fight against Bastiodon. Was worried for you a bit, but you were able to take care of them well. Very proud of you, Anige. Very proud."

From what he could tell, she took quite the beating, but never the less still was in fine enough health to be earnestly happy as she was! Whew, what a relief! After simply cuddling with his Pokechild for a few minutes, he returned her to her Pokeball to rest and set about capturing Bastiodon with Melly's assistance. Reading over/discovering the Moves + its species with his Pokedex, it had made the Steely brawler raise his eyebrows in surprise, for the dinosaur was overall an EXCELLENT Pokemon worth its weight in Poke.

'Hm.....have to decide if I am going to keep it, or sell it once we get back to our time. Dino Pokemon rare and valuable, but it would make a good part to my teams. Hm.....will need to think about this more later. Now, it is time to rejoin group, and......tell them what I saw and......understood.'

With that slightly ominous thought in mind, Terra made his way to were everyone else was meeting up, looking/feeling much better now, yet still feeling.....pensive, for lack of a better word. Maybe that will fade once he gets his experience with Deoxys off his chest, and hears what everyone thinks about it.

(Ready for the next set of Encounters, and to begin that Conversation about Deoxys anytime you want mates!)

Surprisingly, the little lizard seems interested in staying in shape, too. Even though it seems verrry lazy.
