[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Dragonstrike]

As you approach the main civilized entrance to Mt. Sentry, Geodude pops out of the tunnel he's been digging and joins you.

You step into the entrance to the Mudroom, with a bevy of Sentret watching your every move.

Inside the Mudroom, a couple walks hand in hand, looking at all the weird features of this natural cavern: a Zubat hanging from a stalactite, the Crystal Pillar made from fossilized Boldore, and the lucky Worn Stone that Heart was talking about earlier.

If your goal is to create Magneton, you'll want to go West, down a well-worn tunnel leading to the Teeth/Sentry Shrine, where the Landorus carving is, and eventually to the Magnetic Caverns. However, this is not the tunnel which leads beeline for Cress City.

"Ah, there you are Geodude!  How ya' been?  Where's your Rattata friend gone off to?  Been awhile since I last saw ya hangin' around!  Care to join me and Valder?"

Nathan's heard about the worn stone plenty of times before.  It's not so much the stone itself he finds interesting, but the history behind it.  Not what he's here for, though, so onwards!

Nathan and Valder stop at the Sentry Shrine.  And Nathan takes a caaarrrreful look at it...doesn't take him long to spot that Old Unown text, and then match it with THE FOUR WINDS.  Ah, so THIS is where Heart got that text from...now Nathan is REALLY interested in it...

...which means it's time to examine it a looooot more closely...like, what pokemon specifically are labeled with that FOUR WINDS caption?  What else is pictured besides them and Landorus?  Is there anything else of significant note that someone might have missed if they weren't looking carefully?  Stuff like that.  Nathan wants to get AAAAALLLLL the nitty gritty details on this written down in his handwriting and hard work!

And that's why Nathan wanted Valder's help. Valder watches his back, Nathan does the research and investigation without having to worry too much about getting caught off guard by distractions! Fun fun fun!
