[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

"Welllll...thank you for telling me. I have...I have to be strong. Did you already tell the authorities what you found out?"

[Iron]

Cherrim pets the green ball a little, and senses good things from the freshly-carved nut. She opens her blossoms and smiles up at you.

Awww, that's definitely a 'Yes, I do accept it, sweet Master!' from what Shiva can tell, and it causes her heart to skip a beat as the cherry blossom's smile is just too cute. Placing the green Ball in front of her and preparing her Almanac right beside it, the 'deal' between Shiva and her Sunbringer is signed with the sharing of a fond hug among warm rays of sunshine. "Thank you, my der and sweet one - You won't regret it. I won't regret it either." <3

It was an almost ceremonical act for Shiva as she recalled Nightshade into her standard redwhite Pokeball, types a bit on her Almanac and watches in eager how the message 'Tranfer being processed, please wait...' appears on screen, soon followed by: 'Transfering Process complete!'

The redwhite Ball is packed away, it'll now be able to hold a new Pokemon sometime. Picking up the now occupied Friend Ball she smiles at Nightshade through the transparent half, asking her in a soft voice "So... How's your first impression, is it as comfy as it is said it is?" ^^

With your empathy, you can feel radiant good feelings stringing between Cherrim, the Ball, and you the trainer!

It's been so long...did I already say what the mechanical effect of a Friend Ball will be? If not, I have an idea for it.

"Welllll...thank you for telling me. I have...I have to be strong. Did you already tell the authorities what you found out?"

"Yeah.  Dagny and Detective Thrawn are going to keep me updated on both the relevant cases and if they find out anything about dad.  Just try not to let the word spread around.  I'm going to be enough of a target for the Scimitars as it is since I just helped bag one of their leaders, and she's probably looking at a life sentence because of how much bad stuff the Scimitars have gotten up to recently.  We've been running into them a lot."

"In the meantime, though...I've got gym badges to collect and some preparations to make.  Including...well, these."

Nathan pulls out the Absolite and the Dratini Egg.  "...also right before we returned to the present time, we met...a talking Arcanine.  No, I'm not kidding.  He was guarding eggs of pokemon species that were endangered in that time or would be endangered in the future.  And...well, he entrusted a few of them to us, provided we do our best to help make sure the species aren't endangered any more.  The stone's an Absolite.  It's not an egg, but...Mega Absol are technically endangered because of how few people trust Absol in general. Once I find a way to activate the Mega Stone, be it a Key Stone or other source...Calam will be able to Mega Evolve.  Hopefully.  He's done so much to help me and everyone else in our group already, so I hope that together we can demonstrate that Absol aren't something to be feared just because they always seem to show up when disasters happen.  This blue egg...it's a Dratini.  So, uh...I recently found out that we're actually distantly related to Sarimanok's grandfather, mom...and I've learned a bit about how to train Dragon types effectively since then.  That's why I was entrusted with this egg.  I, uh...need to brush up on some of the material on the Breeder's License exam, though...I need to be able to carry this egg around at all times, and I'd rather not pass with a minimum score...could you help me with that, please?"

She looks relieved to have something concrete to work on. "Yes, of course, dear! Wow, it's been a long time since you asked me for help with your homework. Oscar, may we borrow your computer?"

"Of course, Marta."

"The Pokemon won't be available until after the trial. The more evidence we have, the faster the trial. Ideally, we'd want a judge to deny the inevitable appeal. You can give me the lesser gauntlets, and bring me the master gauntlet later."

You fly and Teleport to your destinations. I'm guessing you dismount before getting to town for discretion's sake.

Thrawn sends you a text to let you know things are going well from his side: Juni is in custody, and the process has begun. They don't expect to have any problems holding her for trial.

Terra easily sells the Trumbeak Feather for $3000. Someone from Telperion offers to buy the Aipom Orange for $4500, and said he'll give you a cut of the grant money when this thing is re-introduced. That's a post-game source of income for you.

Pansage can sell for $2500, or three rare elemental monkey PokeDolls (one of each).
Farfetch'd can sell for $5000, or an acclaimed/very exclusive week-long online cooking class called Kookodile. Completing this course will grant you an automatic 1 point of specialty in Craft OR Chemistry.
The two Victreebel together can be traded for $3500, or a Rock/Ground/Fighting TM of your choice, or this would be another chance to get a Huge Power Diggersby that has 40XP.

Finally, your four pristine items can be sold for $40,000!!



Pinsir is worth $4500, or a Honchkrow with good moves.
The special Rhyhorn would be worth another Beldum + $2000.



Nathan, Dagny can see you right away.

(Not gonna trade yet. I gonna need find someone to take out those items in the hide of Rhyhorn. But not before deal things with Tanuki.)

After the teleportation, Heart rush to the Gym of Tanuki. Not before of course he send a quick message to Tanuki saying he have to talk with her urgent.

He reach the Gym, and search for Gym Leader of the normal type.

She meets you up at the top of her playground of tubes. "What is your urgent business, Heart?"

"A lot of things to tell ya. Better if we talk in private." When Heart and Tanuki find a private place to talk he explain the situation. The Scimitars, the time travel, Nathan father been send to the Skull Ruins by the Scimitars fault, the capture of the Juni, the Leader of the Water Scimitars, the battle, the crimes of those Scimitars, the conection between Almanacs and Scimitars, the meeting of Thrawn, the trainers, and their kipdnap.....basically everything. "In resume, we need your help and Dagny to make sure that Juni stay behind the bars for a long time without the contact with Almancs or other Scimitars. Nathan already in Stair City to enter in contact with Dagny, and Detective Thrawn is enter in contact with a friend of him. Please?"

"Hm, what exactly do you want me to do? I don't have the right to intercede in police matters, really. I can lend them my strength if need be - I'll certainly promise to do that. Zigzagoon will watch the jail in secret and make sure no one makes an escape."

[Dragonstrike]

She looks relieved to have something concrete to work on. "Yes, of course, dear! Wow, it's been a long time since you asked me for help with your homework. Oscar, may we borrow your computer?"

"Of course, Marta."

Which was all part of the plan.  Phew! KOes two birds with one stone!

"...you'll, uh, have to forgive me if I seem a little tired.  Time travel really takes the wind out of ya, to be honest...I'll do my best to stay focused, though."

Well, off to study for the Breeder's License exam Nathan goes!  That's probably the last thing Nathan's going to do today, so long as nobody needs anything from him later.  As much as he'd like to get the test over with and do some shopping, it's been a long, looooonnnnggg 3 hours, and he's going to need the rest for tomorrow.

Well, and after he's done studying, he might talk a little bit about some of the recent happenings with his mom and uncle since they're all here.  It's been a rare occasion ever since Marco vanished, after all.  And Gallade will be more than willing to Teleport Marta back to Trillium when she's ready to return.

So yeah, that's pretty much all of Nathan's plans for the day done!

"That would help a lot. I would to ask you about any update in case she do something odd or strange in the jail. Maybe a Noctown could help too to watch over too. He have strong psychic abilities and may sense any strange things better than any normal pokemon. All and any help will be very much apreciated to deal with that problems. I also gonna go to meet Zamboni. If we let our eyes look in other direction, Juni might escape...we cant let a Scimitar like her escape from the Jail. She already done a lot of damage in 2014: Kipnap, pokemon robery, try to kill me and my friends, put one familiar of a friend of mine inside those Skull Ruins. If you could help to confirm you know us in case the police help it will help quite a lot."

[Iron]

"All right. I can do that easily, Heart."

Ready for the next Day?
