[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Iron]

Ah, Shiva smirks a bit to herself upon being adviced to lift the nasty Curse before she'll need sleep: "I'll do that, yes! Shouldn't be too much of an issue." Mostly because I've still got an ace in my Inventory to help with that.

What's worrying her more is the fact that she has to keep moving, constantly even, and all despite it's troublesome and takes her quite the effort. She seems confident that she'll get this to work! "S-sounds like visiting these Groves will take lots of effort, muuuuch more effort than me visiting them un-cursed... ( ._.) B-But! ( ÒωÓ)و☆ I've got my dear Pokemon with me, I've got the power of a few HMs on them, it... It'll work out fine, for sure! Now, can you please map these five Sacred Groves for me then? Shall I pay something for that too? Could you, uhm, possibly save that fooooouuuul potion for me in case things don't work out and I need to ask for your help o-once more about this issue?"


Once the good Madame has mapped them out, back Shiva goes to see Treecko and (hopefully) the other three Earthpower'd Pokemon that accompanied her. She's indeed taking care to constantly move to NOT give these roots a single chance, and every now and then she'll ask Raphael and Tropius in turns to carry her and the acompanying Pokemon for a short while to save energy.

"Knowledge should be free, if it takes no hardship. Here you are, child."

She maps out the five sites on the corners of Creshire: One amidst the whirlpools of Murkrow Cove. One in the desert and one in Mt. Sentry. One in Arrowroot, and one not far from you in Elanor.

At each site, you will find an eerily silent Pokemon guarding the site: A Wailord who surfaces to watch you. A Hippodown on a concave cliff full of sand. A Furret, of course, curled around a pillar. A Tai Chi Toxicroak, possibly a relative of Nathan's frog. And finally a Florges of unusual size.

Each one traces an invisible pattern on a flat spot that's clearly been the site of many such rituals. You know from their silent stares that you must follow what they do exactly. When you're done, you realize they have each traced out a rune for one of the classic elements.
