[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

Spoiler

With that battle done, Spira heads to the Safari Zone and signs up for the cup.

Ranger Rick signs you up and takes your $5000. "You're all set! You'll get your Safari Balls and basic equipment when you pass through the gate on Monday. Anything else, you'll want to have ready beforehand. If you want to check out the Safari Zone ahead of time, you'll have to buy a Gathering Permit or ask someone else. Any questions?"

(5K? unless I haven't properly been keeping track of Spira's money, that would put Spira at -$1875, ouch)
Spira leafs through his wallet and realizes he don't have enough money. "Um, I only have $3,125, is it alright if I put the remainder on a tab?" If the attendant doesn't let him open a tab, he'll go around town, finding a way to make some quick dough.

Did you bring anything from the past that could be sold as an antique?

Also, there is a pawn shop (Trading Post) in Teazel Valley. You can create a tab there if you leave something as collateral. You could leave your entire collection of Pokeballs (useless in the Safari Zone) as collateral for the $1875, then sell something you catch in the Safari Zone to get them back.

You could also leave a Pokemon as collateral, but that's not very nice and could cost Happiness or Loyalty.

(would the salvaged Scimitar gear work for collateral? If not, I'll go with the Pokeballs)
