[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Iron]

Dawn comes, with birds chirping and sunlight filtering through your tent.

After a bit of journeying, you come to the start of the Fireweed Forest that contains Wineberry Town.



This forest has a reputation as a haven for pleasant autumn weather. The foliage responds in kind, burning in reds and yellows and oranges three seasons out of the year. Sunlight filtering through the leaves is a wondrous sight. The forest is bright as long as the sun shines, and at night the stars are visible through clearings in the canopy.

Leaves carpet the Great River in warm colors, like fire on water.

There are few permanent residences in the Fireweed Forest, and they are mostly in the eastern portion of the forest near the town. But somehow, works of folk art spring up along the paths or even deep in the woods. Most of them are made of sticks, rocks, twine, and moss. Though they are never complex, they manage to imply a Pokemon without actually showing one. A few lines, the suggestion of movement, a speck of decoration in exactly the right place. You see odes to Shiftry, Butterfree, and the rare elusive fox Pokemon which dwell east of town.

Interestingly, Shiva's guidebook makes no mention of these sculptures, but Nathan's mom once told him about seeing them in her childhood. There is supposed to be some kind of treehouse attraction around here...

The Pokemon here are supposed to be very friendly, with one exception: the Bug Pokemon.
