[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Lord Windos]

"Lake?... Which lake... Oh! Chicory Lake, you mean?" Shiva was indeed a tad bit impressed by the size of this lake compared to the other markings and cities as she looked it uo the selfdrawn-by-the-authors map of the region in Hitmonlee's Guide.

"We need to hit the swamp sooner or later anyway, Heart... The earlier we get used to it, the less problems we'll have with it later. Maybe it we make this beeline directly from here, we'll see the borders of National Preserve. Ven, weren't you allowed by Professor Mallorn to do exactly one catch there? Usually, catching Pokemon is permitted there. Battling and fainting the Pokemon seems...okay, though?"

The researcher gives a nod of his head and smile towards Shiva, rather hearted/touched that she remembered such a detail of his research work in the region without him bringing it up even once. "Yes, I do. Dr. Mallorn authorized it as a part my observational studies of Pokémon behaviors, cultures, and interactions, so if its possible I would like to briefly visit the place to obtain a creature if time permits such a deviation from our main objective," he said, before he readied himself for yet another treck through the potentially hostile and most definitely annoying terrain that is the Swamplands!

(Ready to get moving, mates!)
