[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

"Welcome, Shiva. Thanks for the introduction, Nathan."

"A, C, T, G, and U! That's what I half-expected. Of course, I didn't want to bias the experiment by hinting to you there would likely be only certain letters...did you see any other Unown while you were there?"

"Some of my interns will think this is an astonishing coincidence. But I can tell you, it is no coincidence! I think the causality goes the other way. Pokemon influence on the language of Common is very, very high, and I think this is yet another example of that. And I don't think it's coincidence that only the letters standing for the building blocks of DNA - adenine, cytosine, guanine, thymine, and sometimes uracil - were present in Ancestor Cave. I think early comets brought these Pokemon to our world, and somehow they came to make up all life! A lot of conjecture, yes. But think of the studies it suggests!!"

"Somehow, Unown are responsible for the reality of biology. I'm sure of it!"

"Before we engaged them, the whole alphabet was in the cave.  After we engaged them, the swarm seemed to only be comprised of these 5 letters.  Mostly A, C, T, and G.  Not sure how that happened, but Unown are strange...speaking of that and the whole reality of bioligy thing, I'm assuming you didn't know what their collective HIDDEN POWER would do?"

(Actually, you never saw any LIVING Unown of other letters. Only inscriptions.)

"What did their Hidden Power do? I've heard of them being able to unleash strong psychic attacks when together, which is why I insisted on someone with four badges."
