[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Iron]

Shiva frankly ignores that unamused look. She gasps sharply as it becomes clear to her however how insanely FAST that meteor is coming, panic threathes to arise within her but she's taking effort to not overwhelm her. Panicking now of all costs will damage more than it might help.

"IT'S COMING??! Like, NOW? Lilith...." She presses her loyal Gothy's hand tightly, seeks her closure. "Please, tell me, what can we do about it right now? IS there anything we can do? Where do you think it'll crash approximately, my dear? I don't wish to...to die here, you see...?"

Gothitelle waves a hand. This isn't the kind of threat where you worry about being struck directly.

When asked about the direction, she points vaguely west. There is much uncertainty, to her, regarding details. But with your incredible Insight, you notice Gallade turn away, refusing to answer any questions about possible impact sites.

When you ask what you can do about it, she again shows you the Six and the Four.

Seeing Dizzalam accelerate that much gives Shiva a bad, almost foreshadowing feeling - it intensifies as that curious bright lights apears in direction of Elanor. There's SOMETHING about that place, her desire to get there soon increases by 50%, she must see this town and place for so many reasons.

That bright light doesn't mean anything good she believes, the Absol growling at it practically confirms this. "Lilith....", she calmly adresses Gothy, "Yes, I see it. That light.... Is that Helix Nebula, the single big Eye, the sign of King Sarimanok? Does 'he'....spotted us, did he notice we're going in? 'He' doesn't seem to like us doing so."

Nathan's raised a hand to shield his eyes as he looks in the direction of the light as well.  So has Gallade.

"...I think that's actually the comet that Xatu's prophecy mentioned, Shiva...stars aren't usually that bright..."

Nathan's been thinking about this ever since the prophecy mentioned it.  Something kept striking him as feeling weird about it, though.  Why's a comet such a big deal?  Unless...

A realization finally dawns on him.  There's one comet he can think of off the top of his head that is 100% a massive, massive deal whenever it shows up...

"...guys...there's a chance that might be...the Millennium Comet...it's not been seen in around 1000 years or so, so it's been due for an appearance..."

Nathan thinks about how Calam snarled at it...he looks at Gallade and Lilith...

"...something that isn't friendly is arriving on that comet, isn't it?"

Ohh, good to know it is NOT the eye actually. It can't be the Six and the Four, constallation Whimsicott is unlikely as well. Humm, second guess: "The.... the COMET? The 'unown meteor' you showed me? The threat. THE THREAT. It brought Jirachi, it brough Deoxy, it brought other Pokemon. No.... Nonononono. Lilith... Is it coming closer?? Something is coming that doesn't mean anything good, is that correct, my dear? 'As the future meets the past, as the comet comes at last', that's what Xatu said."

"But.... why, and WHY does it sparkle up NOW?" Shiva's knees get a bit weak and she tightly takes Lilith's hand into hers as she stares into the direction of Elanor, faces the comet.

"A comet? That can't be good, no matter how you slice it. Unless you slice the comet..." Spira shakes his head, now isn't the time for jokes, he glares at the comet, thinking about what might be hitching a ride on it this time.

All the psychic Pokemon nod in sync. A shiver runs across Terra's spine, involuntarily.

"As the future meets the past...I think that line means history is repeating itself...and that would mean..."

Nathan's eyes go wide.

"...oh no...don't tell me...Deoxys...it's coming back, isn't it?"

Great, now Shiva has a reason to be scared, but not of the Infiltrating. "Even if it IS... We cannot do anything about that just now, people. It's there, it's coming, it means danger, we need these artefacts from the Ruins... Let us proceed here and move on towards Elanor soon, this place might help us further on our given quest. The longer we stay here the higher the chances are that we might get spotted by THEM."

Iron, please remember that Shiva's wearing the Baashaun Boots which grant her +1 dice on Stealth Rolls. Also: Can Shiva sense anything when she touches the wall Dizzalam points out, that obscuring a secret?

Nathan briefly gives Shiva a rather...unamused look, to be frank.  He doesn't say anything to her right now, though.

Nathan looks at Gallade and Lilith to ask them a simple question.  "...do we have some time before the comet's passenger arrives?"  Since the comet only just appeared, they might have a little time...but probably not much.  That celestial object isn't going to wait for anyone.

Very little time. For a celestial object to be growing bigger to the naked eye...

Heart have release Xatu of the Pokeball and Honedge out of their Pokeballs for better looking. When Nathan have mentioned about the Millenium Comet, Heart was about to ask what was the Comet. Until Nathan mentioned Deoxys. "Oh noes. Deoxys no! Dont tell me we gonna have another alien invasion like before. We already have trouble with Deoxys before. Now another wave is coming?! We barely escape last time. We really should warn Dagny, Tanuki and all Pokemon League after our rescue mission. If Cheshire face another invasion, then we gonna need all the powers of the Pokemon League. *Sigh* I didnt expect get that KIND of adventure when coming to Cheshire. Just a safe Pokemon Travel, not saving the Region from Crisis every time."

Also @Iron, is Xatu and Honedge having any reaction towards the Comet?

[Dragonstrike]

Nathan's feeling very conflicted right now, and is half murmuring to himself.

"....do we have time to focus all of our efforts on this, gamble that we have enough time to search the place and then head to the RUins?  Do we need to head to the Skull Ruins immediately instead?  Do we risk splitting up to try and search both Almanac's Labs and the Skull Ruins simultaneously?  I...I'm not sure which risk we need to take, to be honest..."

He pulls out an oval shaped, red gemstone and carefully holds it, trying to focus on the feeling of determination and power that almost radiates from it.

"...is it time?  Are we going to need your aid, even if it's only to buy us some time when Deoxys arrives?"

Nathan clenches his fist, the red gemstone enclosed within.

"...why did this have to happen all at once?"  It's quiet, barely a whisper, but that's what Nathan says.



Does he focus on saving his uncle, preventing his already splintered family from falling apart further?

Does he prioritize the needs of the region over his own desires and go off to find the items that can help them stop the threat carried here by the comet?

Is it possible he can do both...or does he have to choose and risk losing one of them?



Nathan doesn't know what to do...and that scares him more than anything else that's currently going on.  So much is at stake, so much is relying on him...he's worried he'll make the wrong decision, and is hesitating while he's trying to figure out what to do...

Heart see that expression from before. He approach Nathan and put a hand in his shoulder. "Whatever is your decision, know we with you. You have strong allies with you my old friend. Lets not fell in despair just yet."

5 points in chemistry you can invent brand new dishes no one has ever made before and they'll come out nutritious and delicious. You can also fulfill other criteria with ease, such as making it cheaper.

Fearow: $4000.
Psyduck: $5500.

Pyroar's Crown
Belongs to the King of the Safari Zone.
If you use it to evolve a Pokemon, you can permanently change their ability to Moxie for 1XP.
Flinch chance 1 dice, fighting moves +1 dice
Can evolve like a King's Rock or Jungle's Crown, or can evolve Litleo instantly.

TV is probably the only place it makes sense to buy berries. Common berries $250, uncommon $400, rare $700. Berries not in the rulebook have special prices.

*Flashback!*


"Hi Terra. I have the perfect buyer for those Pokemon. Can you send me their stats with your Pokedex?"
Beep boop!
"Ok, I'll call you back in five or ten minutes."

"One of my bosses is actually interested! I'll meet you near the Pokemon Center to arrange the trade on his behalf if you agree to his terms."
"For the Whiscash, he would like to offer you $4000 in cash and an item: the Four Leaf Clover costume. It's a ruff that goes around a Pokemon's neck. It gives a reserve of energy in bright sunlight. (1 Will Point reserve that can be used in a battle in Sunny Weather. It refreshes every day.)"
"For the mutant Octillery, he can give you the Mega Stone for a Water type of your choice. Slowbronite maybe? Or if you prefer the cash value, $8000."


That done, Terra races to Cress, where Angela intercepts him in the air atop her own pink Dunseraph! She lands with you, and you run to a good hiding spot near the base.

Alright, Terra will promptly sell his birdies for a collected total of $9900, and later on agrees to sell Giga Whiscash for the agreed exchange! Concerning the transaction for the Mutant Octillery, he'll trade it for a Swampertite to gift Heart later. Though at this point in time he's still irked/cold towards the rare collector, its not to the point he's unwilling to show generosity to them and their mudfish mate (as in friend!) since he thinks they deserve the opportunity that the Mega Stone represents. At the end of the day, they were still his friend, and has accomplished a great many good deeds and proved himself a exceptional trainer, so their was ample reason to reward them for such!

Since Berries are being sold in TV, Terra will avail him of 4 Chesto and Persim Berries ($2000 Poke), and would like to ask if Enigma Berries, Salac Berries, Leppa Berries (The ones that restore PP, which would likely restore Will/give an emergency point of Will to a Pokemon) are being sold there as well. If not, he'll buy 2 Lums and 10 Sitrus Berries, for a total of $8400 Poke, which combined with the cost of the previous Berries and subtracted from the profits made on the sold Pokemon results in a net gain of $3500. That should be that, until more information is obtained!


Considering that the rugged wanderer has zero clue as to who Angela is (or at the very least not recognize her, if she's been mentioned in texts sent to him), I'd imagine he'd be naturally confused/wary at being stopped by what appears to be a complete stranger with her own Shiny version of his divine drake. For both the sake of expediency and the plot, though, I assume she explains at the very least she's serving as backup for their mutual friends too (either in the air, or Terra decides get an explanation on the ground), so they of course he readily accepts her company in their hidey hole. Friend of his friends that help his friends are also his friend, barring unusual circumstance!

Being the curious sort, the sagely monk would inquire more about her. in an semi-awkward/adorably clumsy manner (Remember, Terra has the social grace of a hungry Munchlax outside his small pool of friends), both as a means to pass time and to get to know his newest ally better. He starts off by saying thus:

"Uh......who are you, Dragon Lady? Don't know much about you, so would like to learn more. *Beat* ....If that is alright with you. If you not want to say, I understand and accept that. We are strangers, so you do not have to.....share with me more than you have."

All the psychic Pokemon nod in sync. A shiver runs across Terra's spine, involuntarily.

Twinkle of light appeared in the sky, so very bright that it was visible in daylight.

At first, Terra didn't think much of it, beyond some slight curiosity about it and a vague sense of familiarity.

"Hm.....pretty light. Wonder what it is? ...It also......reminds of......something? Huh.....?"

Then, he felt himself shudder as he stared into the light.......the light. The Light.

He realized then what the Light, and his eyes widened in shock as his memories were forcibly dredged up once more about It.

The Comet.

The Light.

Deoxys.

"Oh. Oh. That.......is not good. Not good at all."

Plainly put......but no much more detail was needed to know that the sagely monk was concerned to the highest degree possible.

Immediately, Terra pulled out his Pokedex and speedily sent a message to everyone, outwardly appearing calm but his body language exclaiming urgency:

'Nathan/Heart/Shiva/Spira.......is that The Comet from the past? With.......Deoxys on it? .....I think it is. Can just......feel it. What should we do now? .......Want to go after it, but.....do not want to abandon you, Keni, and Oscar too. ......Willing to go by myself, though. Let you focus on Scimitars and Almanac, and I......handle It. Call own help......or do it alone. Well?'

He awaited their response, as he gazed unflinchingly at The Comet, one hand clenching his 'Dex tightly while the other was hovering near Angie's and Helios' Pokeballs.

Whatever happened from here on, his gut was telling him it was going to be more huge than both his serpents combined, and exponentially so.

No matter. He'd deal with, one way or another. It was his duty to protect and safeguard his friends, and his responsibility to help those in need. 

And he would be damned if he'd failed in either again.

He awaited their response, as he gazed unflinchingly at The Comet, one hand clenching his 'Dex tightly while the other was hovering near Angie's and Helios' Pokeballs.

When Nathan feels his pokedex buzz, he quickly checks it.  While he doesn't know what to do still, he's at least still trying to stay on top of things, and rapidly sends a response back to Terra.

Signs seem to point that it's the Millennium Comet, and that Deoxys is on it, returning after 10,000 years, yes.  Whatever you do, do NOT immediately attempt to engage it as soon as it arrives, and DEFINITELY don't attempt to do so alone.  I'm not entirely sure what to do beyond that though, to be honest...the items that Juni mentioned, the ones hidden in the Skull Ruins...they can be used to fight it.  Beat it, even.  We could also call on a very, very powerful pokemon to help, assuming they're willing.  But...I need to save my uncle, too...that comet's approaching fast, though...

---------------

Once Nathan's sent the message, he briefly and quite frankly says to everyone else, "...Terra thinks Deoxys is up there as well.  I don't think there's any doubt about it at this point...the DNA pokemon is returning after 10 millennium..."

They sell Salac Berries, but not Leppa or Enigma. Salac will be an uncommon Berry that gives any user, human or Pokemon, +50% movement speed.

Angela gives you a look from head to toe, then answers. "Name's Angela. Your friend Nathan beat me in a battle, and I gave your friend Shiva some tips. I'm a fan of the Safari Zone."

Angela doesn't seem to know what the comet is all about, or why Terra is muttering about Deoxys.

Oh, nice! I'll buy 5 Salac Berries along with the 2 Lums and the 10 Sitrust, which only leaves Terra $1500 Poke richer after all purchases have been made! Having 1.5X Movement Speed on demand is excellent, especially for transport Pokemon and double that for ones with DEX Boosting Moves/Quick Attack or Extreme Speed!

*Flashback Minor!*

Terra perks up at the mention of his friends and her interest in the SZ, gracing her with a friendly nod before offering her a handshake.

"My name is Terra. Terra Sanaa Ismat. Nathan very tough, fast, and clever Trainer, so not surprised he could be you. *Beat* .....No offense. He is just that good. Don't think anyone can beat him, except for maybe other Gym Leaders, the Elite Four, and Bo. *Beat* Oh, and me. I beat him once in past. *Shrugs* He was weaker then, though, and it was very close. *Chuckles with a smile* Think now he has much better chance of beating me. Will see soon enough....."

"Hm.....*Smiles* glad you helped Shiva. She good Trainer too, and very wise and.......has big heart, but *Frowns* ......has confidence problems. Doubts her abilities.....herself sometimes, and does not have........fierce drive to improve. Has......other concerns too. *Smiles again* .....But she is doing better now. Thanks to her journey, friends.......and now you. *Bows* Thank you, Angela."

"You like Safari Zone? *Grins* Me too. Just finished with three day journey through it. Explored Area 6 mostly. Fought lots of Giant Pokemon, and caught them too. Got couple of special Pokemon too."

Saying that, the mountain of a man pulls off a Safari Ball off his belt, and promptly releases his Shiny Diggersby to present to Angela (Who's reaction I will leave to Iron, since I don't have much info about their personality yet)!

"Like my partner here. *Smiles fondly* Tried to bury me in a mudslide when I found him, but don't hold that against him. He just was defending his territory. *Frowns* Don't have a name for him yet, though. *Gives Angela a curious look* Do you have any suggestions?"

*Flashback Minor End....for now!*

The mysterious associate's (to Terra) reactions to the rugged wanderer are completely ignored, as he has other things to focus on, such as the message he got back from Nathan!

'Hm.....very well. Have other idea on what to do, then. You and someone else go save Keni and Oscar, and rest of group goes to Skull Ruins to find weapons to beat It. Divide and conquer. Maybe we can get Dagny's help with It, and have Shieldmadian friend that could give aid too. Didn't know you have a favor from a Legendary, but calling it in to help deal with It still good idea. Them refusing is not worse than not asking them at all, or them being without clue of It. '

Original Post

Shiva frankly ignores that unamused look. She gasps sharply as it becomes clear to her however how insanely FAST that meteor is coming, panic threathes to arise within her but she's taking effort to not overwhelm her. Panicking now of all costs will damage more than it might help.

"IT'S COMING??! Like, NOW? Lilith...." She presses her loyal Gothy's hand tightly, seeks her closure. "Please, tell me, what can we do about it right now? IS there anything we can do? Where do you think it'll crash approximately, my dear? I don't wish to...to die here, you see...?"

Gothitelle waves a hand. This isn't the kind of threat where you worry about being struck directly.

When asked about the direction, she points vaguely west. There is much uncertainty, to her, regarding details. But with your incredible Insight, you notice Gallade turn away, refusing to answer any questions about possible impact sites.

When you ask what you can do about it, she again shows you the Six and the Four.

Oh dear heavens, it's a relief the weight of nine Snorlax and three Mudsdale for Shiva that they are out of danger. Well, at least they are - others however, aren't. She can't help but to wonder about the people in direction west, those innocent ones that are closer to the vague side of impact; as well as all those people who are up and about this early in the morning already and have no idea what this light in the sky appears to be. Noble Reshiram may be with them and prevent a panic outbreak...

...Speaking about panic, now is the moment for SHIVA to fall into a freaked out and scared state either way as her mind is running at high speed and as thoughts come and go at Mach 2, a tad bit too fast for her to get a real hold on them. She has to hold her head, she crouches down as she begins to shiver; almost instantly both Cottonee and Azu release themselves from their Balls to provide some consolation for their sweet Master. Cottonee flooffing up with Cotton Guard to serve as a comfort pillow and Azu gifting her a magick'd up red rose and 50$ coin DO calm her down to a degree, Yena in the meantime has taken a protective stance in front of Shiva as he growls intimidatingly in direction of the coment with his wings outspread at max, he seems ready to crunch it into a million pieces.

"T....Thank you, my dear ones....", she faintly whispers to them all, very happy over their aid and loyalty to her. Unfortunately due to her messed up state and focus on her Pokemon, she misses the message Terra has sent to her. :C Instead, she turns towards Lilith after she has shown her the Six and the Four once more; she remains crouched down as she speaks up towards her, audibly for everyone present. Her voice is still shaky, her state unstable, but she appears to be out of the danger to get lost in panic. Her Pokemon stay very close to her.

"It's coming.... It's COMING at last, the comet, Millenium's comet, Deoxys, doom, destruction... WHY? Why now, why were there no hints or foreshadowing that fast....?" Questions that will remain open and unasnwered to her. "People... Spira, Heart, Nathan... NOW THE FIRST PARAGRAPH OF THE PROPHECY FINALLY MAKES SENSE. 'As the comet comes at last, decide between your friend and foe, who will come and who will go?' ....You understand? It's either one or the other, we cannot deal with both, we have to make a decision right here. We CAN'T, mustn't split up, if we'd do we might outright defy the prophecy - we're too weak to tackle both if we'd seperate now. We need to stay together, we can't..."

She continues as she tries to piece things together. 'Your friend', what may it speak it about? Nathan, obviously your father within the Ruins? Yes, but it may mean ALL the friends we have made across our so-far journey, including him, they probably will be lost if we decide for the other option - that 'your foe' must go. This... perhaps the Scimitars, Almanac. If we tackle them now we will likely defeat them and save Keni and your Uncle, but in the meantime Deoxys will cause a ruccus. WHAT TO DO...." She has to hold back a heavy sob as the pressure to decide is pulling her down under.

"Lilith, the Six and the Four - Six brave Trainers who defeated King Sarimanok once, four 'somethings' within the Ruins - the artifacts, correct??! Please, dear one, give me a sign to confirm or decline. The artifacts JUNI has takled about - 'the helm to outrace the wind, the hauberk to protect and empower, the sword to pierce any defense, the shield to weather any attack'...", she reads aloud from her drawn notebook, "Only possible to be wielded from those who are more than human, 'comet's bane within the tombs'...!!! 'Shining knight shows hidden rooms'...!!! Gallade should be capable to help us finding these!"

Then, Shiva gazes into the eyes of everyone for a few seconds each as her own are filled with seriousness, determination and a will to do something - sparks fly over them for a moment - but also with fought tears. "We have to make a decision, I guess."

Behind the following spoiler-tagg is Shiva's.

Spoiler

Make a turn and head into the Skull Ruins to retrive the artifacts to save Chreshire as a whole. Here's hope that Keni and Uncle Oscar are not in huge danger, means they can wait.
