[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Iron]

Flashforward:

Getting so many trades done in the aftermath of the Running is rather more difficult than you expected. People are rebuilding the few things that were destroyed in the aftermath of the escaped Pokemon. Mostly it is superficial damage, but they are still taking it hard.

The Kangaskhan trade is relatively easy, since people were all watching as you took it down. And it's a popular Pokemon in Creshire.
However, no one has quite what you're interested in...until you run into that same shady cloaked character from before.

The buzzing continues to come from under her cloak. "I watched you capture that Kangaskhan. And I said to myself...what can I give this man to get that magnificent beast from him? Then it occurred to me...this man loves his friends more than himself. And I knew just what to trade you." She brings out a little package and offers it to you. "Just swipe your trainer card and the deal is done...but you must never tell ANYONE the contents of this package, except for the person it's intended for."


Stantler isn't desirable right now, since the Running flooded the market, as it were. Eventually someone lowballs you for $1500 Poke, explaining that they are going to sell it for a bit more later, when things have died down.

Absol is the hardest of all. Everyone claims these Pokemon caused the disaster of the Running. "Some people act like Absol just foresees the danger - but you saw it! Absol physically wrecked the place, and directly caused all the confusion! We're lucky it wasn't worse, with twenty Absol in the running! Those Pokemon should be ashamed of themselves!!"

But Ventus understands the criminal underbelly of the world. He eventually finds someone willing to make a trade without need of a Trainer Card swipe, even, if you wish. "I...I have traveled far for this... Absol...the Disaster Pokemon...how useful...."
