[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Iron]

Potential arriving at the village tomorrow night!~ That sounds good. However, this also means another night spent in the swamp, trusting in Pokemon guarding and the tent fabric sprayed with Repels...Ugh. His job of gathering supplies for the villagers made Shiva all ears... Probably he got trapped in the sand while gathering peat? "Oh, you collect herbs? Do listen... On the way, would you care to notice me about any special plants that only grow here in the swamp? I already got a White Apricorn and some amount of arrowroot. Or, wait, you can tell me what can be done with these roots, if you know and agree... Eh, anyway, you stay with me along the way, please, meaning we'll both...guide... Alright?"

Unique Grass Types... Well, that huuuge Gloom was already unique enough, Vaporeon definitely counts as a special Pokemon too (at least for Shiva), and she actually was curious whatelse they'd see along the way... Mostly though, she was focused on that clay badge Tandal showed her. Ground/Water Type, but having Sap Sipper Ability - how interesting and clever. Worth noting later.

"Yes Miss! I'll point out any of them that you can use. If you let me know your interests, that would be better. Arrowroot is delicious, like a potato. We even call it the swamp potato. Or Ducklett Potato. In our folklore, the arrow shaped leaves can be bewitched to point the way to various things. It does not seem to work on peat and clay, though!" He laughs, a bit awkwardly.

"You can eat swamp potato raw, steamed, dried, boiled, or store it for months with the dirt still on it. The seeds are good when toasted. It cures fever, which is very common in our swamps. The water from boiling it can clean a wound. We use it to fertilize our few crops. There are other magical uses too, but I do not know anything about those. I am just a collector and swampman."
