[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Iron]

"Oof, they got raided by the League. All their stock was sent to discount stores, and you can get a few of their older things still on the floor below this one. Some of these Pokemon came from the raids, and they were apparently badly mistreated. They were only kept for their moves, people say."

"Solrock is supposed to be a relaxed Pokemon, but this one has become aggressive because it was expected to work long hours moving things around with its mind. The sad part is, that's about all it knows how to do. A good owner would be someone who can find it a new purpose in life."

"Gorebyss seems to have undergone some kind of treatment to make it longer, but that made it sick. She's really very sweet and motherly toward that Egg."

"O....Oh, I'm... sorry...." That's what Shiva quitely mutters as the Shelter Staff updates her on the Solrock and Gorebyss. She's obviously sympathizing quite a lot for those two especially, and has a bad feeling about some other Pokemon on the list. Both shows in her body language and voice. "Those poor beings..."

"So, and... How much is the fee to adopt these two, just...asking? Money shoud not be an issue, I'm just...unsure, you see. Solrock would probably do well to work with someone or somewhere where heavy lifting is done, helping someone building a house or a cabin. So that it can make creative use of its skills and are rewarded with gratitude.... Humm." Shiva's mood lights up a little over hearing how sweet the deep-southern-see-dweller is towards their Egg. "That's cute! What color is the Egg, how does it look like? And has Gorebyss been introduced to a Pokemon Doctor already, do they rely on particular medicines or vitamins? Can they still be expected to participate in Pokemon Battles?"

Let's flashforward also to Shiva visiting the floor below to check out the older goods of Almanac sold there!~ She's just looking around, seeing whether anything catches her's or her Pokemon's eye.

"Solrock is very easy to care for. We'll release her for free if you also adopt another Pokemon. Otherwise, $600 will be alright. Gorebyss is much more expensive to care for. Her adoption fee is $2500 and she needs $200 of medicine every day. She can battle but she shouldn't be subjected to Lethal moves or damage, even if held back."

Most of the Almanac stock is older stuff, that you have already seen. There are new games, including a Brawl game where you play as a Legendary and fight other Legendaries. The synthetic evo stones are available, but they are currently the same price as a normal stone of the same kind. The biggest difference is that synthetic Dawn, Shiny, and Moon stones are available (5k). They're marked with a warning that these are not League-tested.
