[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

"Cryptic. Very well, keep your secrets. Are you heading through, or shall I get back to training?"

Another chuckle from Nathan.  "It's really less cryptic than ya might think, provided ya know some of the lore I'm referring to.  It's definitely something I intend to keep secret for the most part, though.  And the odds of you getting a Fairy type Absol the same way I did are probably astronomically low.  Anyways...yes, let's give going through the tree a try.  Having a shortcut to the Nature Preserve could be a very, very handy thing in the near future..."

You step through the tree and find yourself, with Angela and Wigglytuff and a comatose Spinarak she's holding, in a boggy portion of the Nature Preserve. A bunch of Gloom waddle up, sniffing around for any traces of Sunstone dust. Angela throws the Spinarak at them. "Hey, if you buggers are going to evolve you're going to become Vileplume, alright? We don't want this place turning into sugary sweet Elanor 2."

Behind you is a similar Dragon Fig with a dull rune on it. Angela sees you looking. "A Mamo elder once told me the two trees are part of the same tree. I'm not sure if that's true or not, but it is true that figs can have a great many trunks that are not seedlings of the tree, nor even clones of it, but part of the same contiguous whole."
