[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

"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.

You do have the proper tools, so as long as you take the time (which is no problem in diceless mode), you will eventually get it out without damage.
A Pokeball won't work on it, as it's too large to count as an item and too dead to count as a Pokemon, but Telekinesis will be very easy in combination with the buoyancy of underwater work.

We can assume you get it safely back to land, at least. 

As for Shiva and Heart's presence, this should all be happening while they are dealing with their own Scims - though they can always FLY here in an instant if you give them a call.
