[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Dragonstrike]

Rotom's face lights up on the app. PorygonZ must have left a backdoor. However, after some experimentation, it seems to be just an image and not any sort of actual intelligence behind the face.

"Analyzing species...Checking Kanto files...Johto files...Hoenn files...Species located."
"Analyzing..."
"Expected species: Castform. DNA confidence 89%."
"Pedigree: None."
"Unusual moves: None expected."
"Gestation: 8 more days for the average trainer."

He'd have to talk to Porygon-Z and Rotom about doing stuff like this at random.  Though funnily enough, he quite liked the change.  Reminded him of those fancy new Rotomdexes.  Shame this one wasn't constructed for that purpose.  Oh well.

Checking the egg, though...Castform?

Huh?

Why was an egg containing an EXTREMELY rare pokemon doing floating down a creek at high speed?  Castform is one of THE rarest pokemon that can be found in the wild.  Even in Alola, where it's most most common, the odds of finding one are incredibly low...and swamps aren't exactly known for Castform populations either...

Nathan looks upstream...not much besides more swamp in that direction...

Well, now he has a Castform egg, apparently...he certainly wasn't going to leave the poor thing here, that's for sure...

So, back to the starting point Nathan goes, egg in hand as he ponders which pokemon he's going to send to the PC next...
