[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

Kory: "Sure, Nathan. You know you can count on me. What help would you like, exactly?"

Xiani: "Yes, I had very strange dreams while I was in Corsage Port. I would run and run and get nowhere. It was hard to fall asleep, knowing that was waiting for me. Very unlike the Running, which is stupidly dangerous but extraordinarily free-spirited and unrestrained. After Ginger Town, the Pokemon flee to the Great Divide. Then they work their way slowly, individually, back up to the northern mountains where they live most of the year. So you may be seeing the same Pokemon two years RUNNING. Oh, there's some Pokemon that are almost extirpated in Creshire who participate in the Running. The rarest I can think of are giant Tropius, strong-willed Aron, furtive Kangaskhan, enraged Bulbasaur, and bold Piloswine. There are indeed Nido Pokemon in the Running, mostly Nidorino. They're one of the common ones, but they aren't very fast or aggressive. The bulk of the crowd will be Tauros, Stantler, Ponyta, and Doduo - which is really funny to watch in particular, that one huge bird Pokemon keeping up with all the quadrupeds."

Tramp: "Ayup, we'll be selling the leftover Milk after the Running, so of course you can buy some! If you get really bored, you could take Geodude or a shovel and go dig around for Belle's favorite beaded trinket. It's a pearly Miltank bracelet that she treasures, and she was sad to drop it into a huge mud puddle. We couldn't find it and we gave up. If you find it, keep it a secret so we can surprise Belle with it! I'd be in your debt if you found it. It's about an hour's hike from here, but heaven knows your chances of actually finding it are really low."
