[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Dragonstrike]

Spoiler

The Creshire Museum holds tons of info on the history of Creshire, including art, natural science, and current events. Nathan can expect this place to hold knowledge of history even he doesn't know!

You step into a big atrium, with glass ceiling and every other wall of the hexagon replaced with a window. There's a receptionist in a spinning chair, inside a circular desk with tons of pamphlets. Two hallways lead away: one down underground, one toward the back. Both hallways are covered in posters about the different exhibits.

Furret is very interested in a big map of Mt. Sentry that fills a whole wall in the museum's mudroom. Despite its size, it does not go into detail. It shows only the early tourist caverns, the main Route, and the Skull Ruins path with a big warning sign over it. The rest of the tunnels are just a randomly generated maze that updates itself constantly as you watch. Sadly, a little plaque explains that this is just a simulation. The map points out that the Cress City Gym Leaders traditionally train here and may know more about the paths than anybody. To learn more, follow signs to the Mt. Sentry exhibit!

They have gotten real creative with their signposts. Each one is built from some vaguely arrow-shaped artifact or art piece, such as a piece of stone, a real arrowhead, a gadget from FTS, or in one case, a painting of an old wanderer pointing left. Most are pretty ancient in theme, including lots of Mamo stuff. The walls are always molded to look like the portion of the museum you're in, such as cave walls, wicker huts, artist's studios, etc. They've gone all out.

You can tell me a handful of places Nathan will visit and I'll put them all in one post; repeat until done. You can also tell me a specific question Nathan wants the answer to. Same for anyone else who decides to visit. Doesn't cost an Encounter, just hours!

(Quick note: I'd actually like to hear how Solomon and Furret react to the majority of these topics as well)

Creshire Museum: Professor Oak's Laboratory - Pokemon Firered/Leafgreen

...what?

...why is there a branch on Almanac of all things here?  Cress City is the LAST place Nathan would have expected them to be in...

- ...bah, as loathe as he is to visit it, he IS curious about what it's doing here and how Almanac even took hold in this region in the first place...so a quick stop to the Almanac exhibit seems to be in order.  Ralts is gonna hate being there, though, so in his Premier Ball he goes for the (hopefully short) duration.

- Well, if Nathan's looking for information on these gravestones and what those phrases might mean, the Mt. Sentry exhibit is probably a good place to start.  Furret oughta especially enjoy that.  She'd also probably enjoy the Cress City exhibit, so that's gonna get a visit too.

- Skull Ruins and Sarimanok exhibits definitely need a trip as well.  He needs to gather all the info he can on those topics.

- Hidden Machines sounds cool.  Carvanha and Sharpedo are known Divers on occassion, and they're often used as excellent Surfers and Waterfallers as well around the world (no Surfer is faster than a Sharpedo, after all!  Not nearly as comfortable as a Lapras, though...).  Sure, they're typically not the LEGENDARY HMs themselves that the piranha/shark pokemon are using, but even the weaker varieties are awesome for traveling.

- Meteor Wing...Deyo FLowers.  They HAVE to be in there somewhere.  Yet another topic Nathan wants to learn more about due to semi-current events...and this'll probably be a sufficient apology to Ralts for the Almanac exhibit visit, considering his interest in the Deyo Flowers. Heck, maybe he'll find something relating to the mythical Deox...nah, that'd be silly, right? Nobody's actually ever seen that pokemon before, right? Well, he doesn't think so, anyways...though he can't help but feel there's more to the story of that pokemon in recent years than he knows for sure...

That's enough for the first batch, I think.  7 exhibits sounds like a good amount to start with.
