[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

This way looks like a dead end, although Shiva could climb the ropes and get back to the start that way. Or she could retreat along the central beam and take the wooden path. Or something else altogether.

It looks like that Totodile has made itself a home down here... That's somewhat heartwarming to see. Althought it itself probably doesn't depart far from what looks like the remains of a tarp strectched across ribs and spars, it still travels around the half world since its home is on a luxurious ship. What a nice thought - it was a good idea not to faint and dragg waterly reptile to the surface and hand it over. Wonder if the sailors even knew of that lodger?

Eh, enough dwelling in comfy thoughts - they're so warm though! - there were items to gather. Two regurlar Pokeballs alongside one Great Ball and...what seemed to be something Shiva remembers that Berry Vendour in Ginger Town sold. How did such a rare nut come here? Fellman did NOT mention such a valuabe item... We'll surely take it with us.

...

Luckily THIS time nothing bad happened and she was able retrive all items. Oh happy day! Must be the aftermaths of her fox's chant... How lucky! Or the fact that she learned from before and took better care of her movements now. (How about leveling-up Dexterity to 3 here? Feels like a suitable moment!)


The way ended here at Totodile's home however, and she didn't feel like touching any ropes again, although they looked like they could be a shortcut. Meh... Let's go back and see what the path of wooden beams holds, right?

Alongside the way... "Fennekin, can you make out any Rattata on our path with your sensitive ears? If not, try to pick up their scent, it's the same that the place where we found the berries has. Maybe if we follow the trace, we'll find another nest of them." Her other Pokemon were withdrawn for safety after the Totodile-Battle, only Fennekin and Kyuu remained. The latter has been picked up to be close in the arms of his new Master, only if he doesn't mind though. It was still a little scary down here, but holding Espurr close shoothed Shiva somewhat.
