[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Dragonstrike]

On the way to the Department Store, he finds a flyer for the Little Cup.

Rules: Only first stage Pokemon that are not fully evolved. Farfetch'd: Not allowed. Nidorino: Not allowed. Duskull: allowed.

Only three actions allowed per round.

No items.

Held at the Tournament Plateau (map included).

---------------------

The interior of the Department Store looks like a miniature version of Stair City. Moving walkways and (stationary) bridges crisscross the first six floors, which are all open like a mall. You can stand on the 6th floor and look out over the six floors below you. You can, if you can figure out the maze, ride an escalator from any one floor to another without getting off.

There's also an elevator, with buttons marked up to 30 floors! A convenient digital map is inside the elevator.

On the Almanac's sales floor, everything is steel. The floor is divided into large steel sub-stores, but they are all the Almanac brand. Each is covered in steel shelves and has a dedicated associate to help you out.

One whole store sells nothing but the Almanac itself, and upgrades for it. (All copies are digital).

Yeesh...all of this looked way too confusing to Nathan...signs and maps saved the day once again...good to know the rules and location of the Little Cup tournament (how many pokemon can be entered, though? And when is the tournament?  Those must be on the flyer somewhere, right?)

At the Department Store, Nathan steps on to one of the floors he wanted to least of all: Almanac's.  He'd used the elevator to get there in the end.  Odd how one of the lower floors was marked as being an Almanac Lab on that map...he certainly has no desire to go there...

But what he does want to do right now is flip through Almanac's book and see what their entries for Ralts, Kirlia, Gardevoir, and Gallade say...and flip through a couple other random entries as well so it doesn't really look like he's too interested in a particular thing...might see what they have to say about Houndour and Houndoom as well...
