[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

"...expansion cartridge?  Mallorn's pokedexes don't take expansion cartridges, right?  Hmmmm..."

Okay, well at least Nathan doesn't seem to be the only one experiencing issues...Terra can hold on to the strange eggs for now, I suppose, though Nathan might want some later for his own studies.

Well, back to the matter at hand for now, then.

"Terra, Ventus, keep watch.  Don't need any wild pokemon or Scimitars sneaking up on us while I'm trying to excavate this fossil."

Alright, Step 1: excavating the fossil.  Would it be possible to safely excavate the entire thing if Gallade were to (carefully) use ROCK SMASH and/or CUT to loosen the edges, and then Nathan use the finer tools to do the more delicate work?

Step 2: Transporting the fossil once it's free.  Would it fit in a pokeball, or does that not work because it hasn't been revived yet?  If not, would it be possible for Gallade to levitate it with Telekinesis so that it can be carried out safely?

Those are the two basic steps that need to be addressed, so let's see if we can retrieve this fossil and get a little closer to the end of this particular plotline.  If anything else happens, it can be addressed then.
