[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

Spoiler

Donnegan's Crater looks like it was once very popular, but now there's only Spira, an old couple with a camera shared between them, and two vendors. One has a kiosk selling books about Pokemon technology and a little excursion where you dig MSC out of a sandpit. The other vendor has a swirling rainbow holographic banner with no words on it, and a big heap of brown paper bags with question marks on them.

(What's MSC again?)
Spira looks at the vendor with the wordless holographic/rainbow banner wearily, he figures it's most likely one of those "Gift Bag" vendors. First stop is checking this vendor out (depending on how much these Gift Bags are, he'll get one), he'll then leaf through one of the books (provided there's a copy for customers to read) The sandpit excursion feels like something geared toward a younger audience than himself to Spira, that and he doesn't wanna get sand in his clothing, again, so he refrains from digging up any MSC right now.

The book you flip through describes Meteoric SuperConductor, the holographic mineral that powers most Pokemon technology, including Pokedexes, the capture web in Pokeballs, and Bill's PC system. This existed in your time, but was only used in badges (and Pokeballs for a few days before you came to the future).

It also describes the legend of the [url=https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/...nium_Comet]Millennium Comet[/url]. The legend is a little different in Creshire - the comet brings a different Pokemon to Creshire every thousand years, introducing new species to maintain variety. No one knows all the species, but Staryu, Clefable, Solrock, and maybe even Voltorb are suspected comet-traveling species. It's also a legend that early comet-travelers are responsible for nearly all modern Pokemon life, encouraged and managed by the first few Legendaries to arrive on the planet. Including Jirachi, the first known Millennium Comet rider!


You also check out the paper bags. "Wonder Trade! Participate in the Millennium Comet Wondertrade! Hand over a Pokeball with a Pokemon inside it, and receive one of these fine Pokeballs in return! The first three swaps are free while the Comet is in the sky! Just $200 a pull after that! Oh, and today only, give your Pokemon a League-approved item and your swap will also be holding an item!" He gestures to a separate section of paper bags. 

"Finally, you can pull from the color-coded paper bags, one color for each type! Yellow is electric, a very popular one right now! But be warned, that pool is smaller, so it might be less likely to contain a rare Pokemon. But it could contain something wonderful!"

So basically there are three different Wonder Trade "games" you can play:
1. Random Pokemon swap
2. Item & Pokemon swap
3. Pick a type swap, less likely to contain a rare Pokemon.
