[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Dragonstrike]

Nathan meets up with the Chief Ranger, Lumin, of the Fireweed Forest. Lumin gives him a historical tour even though that's not what he asked for. "Treehouses...fire and psychic types...learning to live with bug types...It....quaint...plus...amazing...you think so?...oh yes...it...stunning...love it! Founded where a Flareon...napping...so cute...tourism industry...log cabins...herbs and hikes...Oops! You wanted to hear about the Genesect statue?"

"Well, we commissioned it from a strange group of travelers about three years ago! They were hiking cross country from the little villages around Chicory Lake. They said they came from another time, another space! Hearing their talk, I thought, 'Unova?' but they denied it. Said they were travelers beyond the mystic veil. Well, I started to dismiss them, but it turned out they were interested in Bug Pokemon! Hey, that's an easy way to become fast friends around here! They told me of a legendary Bug type - who'd have thought such a thing existed! Usually they're Psychic, Fire, Flying, that kind of thing. I think the old King had a Psychic, didn't he?"

"Anyway, hearing about what a majestic...useful...loyal...it...stunning...kindly...indestructible...great hunter...what a great Pokemon this Bug-type legend was, we all agreed to chip in and build the statue as our mascot! They did all the work. Dug up half the town, it seemed like, but I'm sure you'll agree it looks GREAT! They walked back and forth between their Chicory village so many times that they almost wore a path. Long overgrown now, of course, because we never use it beyond the bounds of the Fireweed. For a while, that big wedge of cheese on its back was a different color, I think it was red, but they told us this orange one was best. Look what it can do!"

He stands at a certain spot on the plinth, and the Genesect's eyes light up in electrical wrath.

Far away, Ventus gets a shiver, as if someone walked over his grave.

The eyes blink a few times, and the marble statue moves its arms up and down a few times.

"Cool, huh? Motion sensor! Here, I'll take your picture with it!"

"Uh, sure, I guess...that statue certainly is impressive, I'll give them that..."  He gets his picture taken with the statue and Kirlia, not really able to get a word in to say no to it.  "So, what were those travelers like?  What were they wearing and how were they speaking and such, I mean.  They came from a village near Chicory Lake, you said? Seems strange to me, is all, and I'm actually curious about that story. And also out of curiosity, what other color wedges do you have for that statue?"

His curiosity and passion for history has been ignited.  Time to get to work on figuring out this mystery!
