[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Iron]

The crowd of Runners has thinned substantially. Only the top tier of athletes have more stamina than Ventus - what DID he do in his previous life? - plus many of them tapped out in fear of the Absol, and are currently hiding in their homes with their loved ones. Ventus is one of a dozen runners - but there's still dozens of Pokemon!

Flash Ball: Ventus captures an awesome photo of a dozen stampeding Pokemon and a few sweating, scared Runners having the time of their life. Bouffalant Bill manages to look directly into the Flash Ball as it goes off, smiling. Even his sweat looks good.

Stantler was caught

2XP to Ventus, Raphael, Breloom.

Stantler has Intimidate, Me First, Tackle, Hypnosis, and Sand Attack. He will be grumpy when he wakes up, hoo boy.

Ah crap, is that a Tauros coming up behind Ventus, head lowered? Too tired to outrun it...Ventus puts a hand on the barrier and vaults out into the crowd. Many of them applaud him! Nurse Joy comes up to offer him a steadying shoulder and to help him with his (unharmed) Pokemon. She mumbles that the Center has a charity program for beasties captured during the Running, if he doesn't need that Stantler. The Pokemon are sold at auction or released back into the wild after some rehabilitation.

But that'll be a great hologram to upload to your Pokedex, Ventus!
