[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Iron]

Heading West you'd fly over Garlicburg's mighty cliffs and sandy beaches. Directly over the island is a no-fly zone clearly marked by specially trained Flying types, including some Garchomp. Easy enough to go around.

You also see lots of ginormous Pokemon near that island. Not just Wailord, though there are plenty of those, but oversized Tentacruel the size of a rowboat, and the enormous Pelipper who feast on the crustaceans.

Leaving Creshire almost always involves braving a strong storm. FLY gets you right through (or above!) all but the worst storms.

The trip with FLY is pleasant enough, but doesn't leave much time for sightseeing until you order Tropius to slow down and coast into Castelia Town in style.

Some of the more well-behaved petlike Pokemon from the Daycare projects greet you before you even reach the door, and you feel eyes watching you from the upper story window although you can't spot anything in the unlit room. Paws are being put all over you and your hands are being licked all over, and there's a Flabebe riding on each foot.

Ding-dong! Your father answers the door, clearly not expecting anyone but warned a little by the commotion. As soon as he sees who it is, he drops to his knees and throws his arms around your calves for a funny dadhug. Just like when you were a child, he picks you up from that position so your body extends well above his head and he spins you around happily. From this privileged position you can see there have been a few small remodeling projects done, and many pets have rotated in or out, but not much else has changed. Tropius ambles in to nibble on some of the potted plants.
