[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Lord Windos]

Mason will agree to help you research a Pokemon in battle, or point you to a researcher who can better help.

(Allow me to do a bit of Flashforwarding! then!)

Sweet! Then after Nathan's battle with him, he'd request they take him to a private arena/room for the battle (Nathan is free to join, if he wants), then he'd ask the MIGHTY MASON! not to spread too much word around about the Pokemon he's about to summon. Perhaps they'd think him a bit paranoid at first, but assuming they agree to all his requests Terra would summon Arete, his adorable (to him) little Genesect, and then the Gym Leader would probably understand why the sagely monk was/is so secretive about it all.

After making sure his mini Mythic was not going to attack anyone (She was giving Nathan the stink-eye despite that, for she hadn't forgotten how his Pokemon denied her a powerful and tasty meal), he'd turn to the studious architect and motion towards his partner, looking quite formal and respectful.

"Mason, this is Arete, my Genesect. She's.....aggressive, but won't do too much harm to your Pokemon. Listens to me very well. So....how do you want to carry out research? Show off her attacks? Mock battle or spar with your Pokemon? What....processes and methods are used to research Pokemon.....in battles or combat?"

Terra's geniunely curious to know the answers to these questions, as he's trying to get his own lab off the ground and getting into the Pokemon research field/industry. He has to know this sort of stuff, if he wants to be even decent at his position as Chairman/Head Research of his lab!

Your repeated chant brings you in touch with not only your ancestor spirits, but also in touch with the Pokemon and the power of Nature that flows through them. You start seeing what each Pokemon can bring - seeds from Sunflora, energy from Cherubi, wind from Tropius, care from Pansage. You see what moves you might call upon from those Pokemon to weave together into a new ecosystem. With your newly acquired Scimitar powers, it becomes possible to unite the elements - not only the Types, but the individual organic factors that make the earth come alive.

A Sunny Day, a Seed Bomb, a Gust, a Helping Hand - they emanate forth from your spirit, and before your eyes the orchard begins to regrow. Trevenant rushes forward to collect the spirits of fallen trees and place them into the seedlings to help them grow. Within a few days, the people of Elanor will be harvesting fruits again.

Honedge watches sagely.

A little later - by now it is dark outside, a fresh breeze from the sea washes through the streets and the street lights provide their light to every corner of the urban area - Shiva has put on a light coat and a pretty scarf and is off for a casual walk through her hometown. Yes it may be late - but Castelia City barely to never sleeps!~ Even at this hour the shops are open and people and their Pokemon are ominpresent.

Music cute!~ Castelia City at night

The natural fae-enthusiast isn't alone either, of course she isn't - she's got a a lovely and fluffy Whimsicott in her arms, a graceful and unique Primal Espeon walking by her side and a pitchblack yet very warm Umbreon by her other side. Basically all Pokemon of hers that hold - and forever will hold - a very special place within her heart. <3

The smol trio is just wandering around without any particular goal in mind, they just go or alternatively take ths subway wherever the like. And so they end up watching the Royal Unova docking, catch word of a new project Game Freak is working on according to the posters and banners displayed in a window beside their building's entrance, congratulate a Trainer around her age and their Flareon who were just leaving the local Gym with a big smile, take note of the topic of the next art exhibition of Studio Castelia (it'll be 'Daily Life with Pokemon - not only fierce battlers but also beloved pets and important assistants'), stop by for a hot chocolate and peaceful tunes at Café Sonata and share a Casteliacone while watching some street artists show their talents after having been standing in line for twenty minutes. Which was absolutely worth it.

Something Shiva does subliminally pay attention to is whether there's anything to buy that'd be useful AND that she can't get in Chreshire - unique crafting materials, special Pokemon Food, custom-made Pokeballs, accessoires for Pokemon that she can't get elsewhere. Oh, AND she's all ears about those rumors of what has happened in Chresire involving Deoxys her mum heard about.

Speaking of her mum - Shiva just HAS to pay the Pokemon masseuse/Pokemon groomer/massage lady/whatever you want to call her a visit!~ She's offering her service in her salon located in the first floor of the Medal Office, and she and Shiva's mum are good friends with each other. ^_^ The question is: Can Shiva let one of her Pokemon enjoy some specialtreatment here, what does it cost, may it even have any possitive effect?? (more Happiness, a lower Disobediance nice bonding session etc.,? )

Mason oo's and aah's over the fossil. You can tell he is a big fan of fossil Pokemon.

"I like to battle with Pokemon, multiple times if possible, to get a feel for them. It's not the most scientific process. I guess that's why I'm not a professor. But the key is good notes! Since no two battles are the same, my secret is to take note of every detail of a Pokemon's moves and style. And don't forget to write down the circumstances surrounding the battle, such as the Pokemon's mood. You can learn a lot by comparing these notes from one day to the next. You can gauge a Pokemon's power by comparing the arc of its ranged moves, its strength by measuring its anger, its speed by plotting where it chooses to stand. Some people do it intuitively, some by math. Anyway, that's my method! Every researcher is a little different. Maybe I'm very different."

Trillium Town is going to be more of a challenge - the only Grass type to respond to your call is a small Skiddo. The rest are Magcargo/Slugma, feral Ponyta, a Darumaka rolling a Geodude around, and several Sandshrew.

Yeah, we can do a special groomer session for some Happiness for $2000.

Technically Arete is more of a modified clone of a Fossil Pokemon thanks to the method it was revived/created (Praise be Mega Syrentide!), but Terra doesn't dispute or dispel the Leader's assumption. Less questions about the origins of his Mythical Pokemon, the better off everyone would be!

Soon as Mason begins sharing his wisdom Terra has his own notebook out, jotting down everything he said with a quiet, focused, and studious air. While being researcher or intellectual doesn't come naturally to him, his work ethic and driven nature makes him a good learner regardless!

Once they're done lecturing, the sagely monk puts away his notes and gives the MIGHTY MASON! a polite bow to show him the proper respect a teacher deserves.

"Thank you for your teachings, Mason. Everyone has....own methods of training, disciple, and learning, so good to know many as possible. My way is working close with my Pokemon. Take time to understand who they are, and what they want to do. *Rubs Back of Head* Hard with Arete, though. She's...primal. Viscous. And.....haughty. All that makes it....difficult to study and bond with her. *Looks at Mason curiously* You have any suggestions how to handle that?"

Whether  they do or don't, Terra's ready to start his smol Legend's mock battles against Mason's Pokemon! 

(Since this is mostly an education experience for him (and me), do you mind if you determine the battles (how many, and what is learnt from them, Iron?)

Well, if Terra doesn't mind Nathan tagging along to this little scene, then yeah, he definitely would.  Partially out of curiosity, partially because he's acting as...'extra security', just in case, shall we say.

He doesn't have much to say while Terra and Mason converse, so he simply watches for the most part.

As for Arete giving Nathan the stink eye, Nathan doesn't pay it any mind for the most part.  Gallade, however, calmly and unflinchingly stares right back at the Bug. If she were to try anything, he and Nathan would be ready.

Trillium Town is going to be more of a challenge - the only Grass type to respond to your call is a small Skiddo. The rest are Magcargo/Slugma, feral Ponyta, a Darumaka rolling a Geodude around, and several Sandshrew.

"Damn. This gonna be a little more difficult. Hmm..." Heart release Quetzal, Koa, Infernape, Lancelot, Netune and Viktor. "Okay people, this time we must clean this place as possible. We must take out all and dead wood as possible to let the seedlings able to breath free, and that way I can perform the right spell to restore this place." 

"Koa and Lancelot. You two will help reduce the weigh of the dead wood using your blade and claws to cut the dead wood to a easy transport."

"Quetzal and Netune, since both you is the strongest in terms of physical strengh, you gonna help in remove the bigger pieces of dead wood."

''Viktor, use your ability to control nature to help carry dead woods and destroyed buildings around this place. And try to build some temporaly homes to the Pokemon of the forest. If possible you could use the dead to build such homes to the smaller Pokemon. Also, after Slugma, Magcargo, Sadnshew and Geodude job done, you and I gonna use Earthpower to help restoration of nature."

"Rose, you and I will gonna do the coordernate strategy. We gonna carry any pieces of dead wood as we can to a more safe place too. Better prepare a buff of Calm Mind and Swords Dance, since gonna need some extra strengh. We could also burn the dead wood a fertilizer to help the seedlings grow stronger and health." He ignite his hand. "I can provide fire to make the ash fertilizer."

"Skiddo, if you have any grass abilities, you will help Viktor in make grow plants. He might control nature, but he will need help in gather any plant he can, so I count with you with that. And if you by chance know Grassy Terrain or Buldoze this could help increase fertility of the earth and make the ground more health after Sandshrew, Geodude, Magcargo and Slugma jobs!''

"Sandshrew and Geodude, both of you till the earth, bringing nutrient rich soil up and putting decaying material under the ground so it becomes more good soil in the future!"

"Magcargo and Slugma. Produce volcanic ash and summon lava from the earth in a safe/controlled manner. That stuff is chock full of nutrients and minerals that really make plants grow, so its great for environmental restoration."

Ponyta and Darumaka. You all gonna help me and Rose to burn the dead wood to make ash fertilizer so we can use to help the health plant to grow."


"Right now we cant rely in magic, but in our own desire to rebuild everything. It might be difficult, but I sure we can do it. If you understand your orders and job lets begin the restoration of this forest right away!"

If Skiddo dont know any of those moves, Heart will use a PC to bring Chespin and make him use Grass Pledge.

[Spiritmon]

Heart decided to before anything, he sends a message to Shiva.

Hey Shiva, Heart here! I in Trillium Town, close to Mt. Ember. I working in the restoration of the destroyed forests. If you by chance have a Pokemon who knows Grassy Terrain, I can work on a spell to help return nature here.
