[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

Spoiler

"It is, Heart. ALL Pokemon abilities are a result of Earthpower! Was the sage atop the Tusk, secluded in an isolated cave of clay? His signature colors orange, white, and brown? That could only be one Pokemon...Landorus, guardian of abundance! In his hermitage, he wiles away the hours charting the future course of the continents, the fields, the mountains and fissures of the world. As the ground gives life to greenery, his control over plants is immense."

"There is no such relic as a Disaster Stone, at least not one known to me. But there was a prophecy, scrawled by the hand of young Sarimanok, warning of a 'disaster of stone.' He knew it not, but by his own hand he would hasten the coming disaster. A fearsome guardian, made by an even more fearsome Pokemon, serves as the physical foundation of the Skull Palace! It is known as the Rock Peak Pokemon, and by turning it to his will, Sarimanok both tapped its power and sealed it away. The Legendary Golem's power still runs through the Skull Ruins of your time, disturbed by the fracturing of the Palace. That power is no longer wise enough to serve humanity purposefully, and it has intertwined with other sources of power in the Ruins. The greatest relics of any age can be found in the once-home of Sarimanok."

"I've chattered long. I am only a tiny Pokemon! Manifesting in the gravity of this place, holding conversation, revisiting ages for their memories...It's wearying. I've set you all on the path I intended, now. It's the best I can do for now. Be good now! May the myths be with you! Bye!"

Celebi disappears without a shimmer or blink of light.

Nathan has a small smile on his face as Celebi confirms that the old man was indeed Landorus.  He'd guessed that he might be loooonnnnggg ago.  He didn't want to spoil the surprise, though.

After Celebi disappears, Nathan frowns as he ponders the meaning of those words.  He'd had his suspicions before, but this sealed the deal on them...

"...the Rock Peak pokemon...after we've finished relaxing, we need to gather and discuss a few things as a group.  This isn't good..."

...

"...well, we're going to check the shack next.  I'll meet you at the Library later, Heart."
