[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Iron]

Ranger: "Well, we know physically where they come from: the Skull Ruins. But why they're coming from that place now, when formerly it's been all ghosts and Ghost Pokemon, who can say?"

Shieldmaiden: "Sarimanok? If it came from the Ruins, it certainly has something to do with him. If we see it we'll attempt to capture it. Thank you for your time."

[Dragonstrike]

The Rangers and a Shieldmaiden arrive where Nathan guards the three Tangrowth. They kind of ignore Nathan, since he's just a kid and doesn't have some uber Pokemon out (Calam is actually now on the cliff above them, staring at the Ruins). They're all arguing and debating over resuscitating the Tangrowth and using Stylers to march them off to the city, which apparently has failed often in the past. Or they could just catch them like they've been doing, but they're tired of wasting their Pokeballs on this.
Another guy wants to recruit some surefooted mountain Pokemon as beasts of burden and simply haul the Tangrowth back.

Nathan's more than a little annoyed.  "You know, you're ignoring the one person who knows just how dangerous this situation really is.  You're not going to be able to stop this by just taking out the Tangrowth pawns.  There's always going to be more of them.  You need to take out the leaders if you want to get closer to stopping this."

Valder looks around Stair City. The modern flower of creshire, perhaps. He remembers the name 'Stair City' so well. He tries to spot mount Sentry from the crowded place that he's in atm.

 Valder is heading to the pokecenter, if anyone else is, he'll tag. After finishing there, if nothing comes up, he'll look for means to earn xp and whatnot. He's walking with Froakie and Theo at his side looking at the innovative culture around the area.
 The I. Stairs leading who knows where? seem interesting!

 (I'm going offline for 17ish hours.)

That catches their attention. "Hey...yeah, we noticed that the Tangrowth keep coming. What do you know about this? Anything you can tell us would help. All the agencies are working together on this...Dagny's even thinking about mounting an expedition into the Ruins...we have basically no leads."

Mt. Sentry looooms over Stair City to the west. One major path even leads right into it. It's supposed to be riddled with tunnels dug by Pokemon over the ages.

"Oh, no problem and thanks for YOUR time and helping out! Bye!~" With that said, off they where. Ghosts and Ghost Pokemon though... So there seems to be both living down these Ruins? Ugh... Well if the party DOES go down there at some point, Shiva certainly will do whatever will be possible for her to shield herself and themselves from any spectrals. Mental note to research on this topic later, preferably in a library.

Stepping out of the escalator, she was half-amazed and half-not-amazed by the view Stair was giving her: It certainly deserved being named a capital. The life here seemed similar like in her home town; people everywhere, things to see everywhere and you easily get lost or overwhelmed by if not used or openminded to citylife. Being down and dishearted over difficultis within the group not too long ago, she now was visibly flourishing again, as if the place leaves no room for any sadness now. No wonder when keeping in mind what Shiva wanted to see and explore at this place one by one, now that the group has arrived her finally! Sure, plans concerning these vines and the Ruins need to be discussed, she was excepting an explanation from Ven what has happened while she wasn't on the battlefield after they defeated the Tangrowth... But she certainly - or at least will try to - not have these issues spoil things.

With the egg HAVING MOVED in a way showing that it'll hatch soon - oh the excitement and anticipitation over not only what these elusive egg contains, but also because this was she first egg she hatched on her own, quite a step for a future Professional - Shiva won't go anywhere today, as she doesn't want to be suprised by the egg hatching. So taking the subway to what some advertising inside name as 'Grand Pokemon Center'! Wonder where that Grand comes from...

It didn't took long to arrive there, and this was actually the first time Shiva was outright IMPRESSED by that city. True, she'll indeed fell well here... Stepping inside, she somehwhat cam ethrough to Nurse Joy at the counter, and placed all the Pokeballs containing her weakened Pokemon onto the Counter, which where Kyuu, Litwick and Helios. "Greetings and good evening(?), Nurse Joy. So, eh, probably needless to say, but me and some others ran into some Tangrowth along the way... These pesky beasts! I'll pick up these three Pokemon of mine tomorrow morning if that's alright. Also, seeing that you offer resort lodgings... What do they have that a usual dorm for two people does not? Oh, and these pools... Are they free for Trainers as well?"

"Well see you guys later. We will meet again soon. See ya!" Then Heart wave and soon he go to the place where they offering about steel working. "Excuse me sir. I see that job offer in the poster and I would like to do the job. I have Clauncher, Monferno and Axew to help the job."

[Dragonstrike]

That catches their attention. "Hey...yeah, we noticed that the Tangrowth keep coming. What do you know about this? Anything you can tell us would help. All the agencies are working together on this...Dagny's even thinking about mounting an expedition into the Ruins...we have basically no leads."

"Not too much more than you, I'm afraid.  I do know that they intend to cover the ENTIRE region in these vines, though.  And that something in the Skull Ruins is directing this.  Or rather, somethings.  These Tangrowth were being ordered around by what I believe might be a 'manikin king.'  It was a Claydol wearing a stone crown, and it was VERY interested in the powerful and valuable pearl my Kirlia is so jealously guarding right now.  If you want to make more of an impact, you'll have to look for those 'kings.'  They're probably in the ruins, since that's the source of this danger.  My Absol's not been able to take his mind off of this since coming within sight of the Ruins."

Nathan points up at Calam, who's still staring at the ruins.

Within the Grand Pokemon Center are not one, but a dozen Nurse Joys all working at various tasks.
"The resort rooms have a jacuzzi, solitude, room service for people and Pokemon, big fluffy beds, and the best views!"

"Axew, eh? You got it under control? Temperamental little buggers..."
"Clauncher and Monferno, I'd be happy to have those on site. We're just bending steel rods to fit a variety of machines. Actually Clauncher might be really good at this. I've never seen one before. How much heat can he handle? I need someone to bend hot steel rods and someone to bend cooled rods. Heck, a Clauncher can cool them himself - does it know Water Gun or anything?"
