[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Iron]

The Tome of Genealogy stops at an ancestor who didn't live in Arrowroot, but who lived in Creshire when the first of the King's race moved in. Back then, the Mamo spread from coast to coast, and this guy lived in a swamp not far from Cress City. His name is Puawi.

Shiva finds a shelf of books all made from bamboo slats, mostly on topics about meditation. They're quite similar to some of the lectures Ventus has given. Behind this shelf is a big pile of extra bamboo slats, plus a huge tangled coil of the bamboo-fiber string necessary to bind them together.

She flings aside the slats, a feeling of excitement slowly intensifying within her, until she finally uncovers an unassuming green-and-white Egg. It's smaller than most Pokemon Eggs, which tend to be about the same size regardless of their contents.

As she reaches out, her hand tingles, a feeling similar to touching the Gauntlet. When Shiva kisses the Egg and strokes it, she and all her Pokemon are suddenly filled with chipper happiness, and she senses the Egg will stay happy for a long time too. The scanner doesn't even recognize this as an Egg.

And when Shiva rotates the Egg...it feels like Time itself flips with it! Everyone in the Library feels the sudden shift across some fourth dimension, like being on a rollercoaster while blindfolded. The Time Capsule sparks and throws up an error reading, prompting Slowking to sigh and fiddle with it. Your surroundings flash briefly, and you get a momentary crosseyed headache until a millisecond later when Time has returned to normal.

Slaking doesn't even act like he notices, but the Vigoroth and Slowking are a little discomfited. The Egg emanates a feeling even more cheerful than before, and then a sleepy little aura like the developing Pokemon inside is winding down for a nap. Then the Egg Teleports away to a new hiding place for a few more centuries.
