Rune Ruins

Not Meowth

Cat, are you drilling?

~twinned with The Ice Caves~

Forgotten for thousands of years, there lies an ancient set of buildings. Pokémon overrun these ruins, and all over the walls are scrawlings in the script of an ancient culture. More remarkably still, Pokémon resembling these writings almost precisely occupy the structures, among many other Pokémon thought long extinct. This region excites scientists so much it has been cordoned off for study; however, trainers may bribe the researchers to let them onto the site or into the buildings, where they can catch Pokémon for themselves. Provided they're not caught, anyway.

HEAD RESEARCHER'S OFFICE
This is where the head of the research project spends his days, ordering archaeologists and historians around, writing research papers, generally looking important, et cetera. The Rune Ruins have inspired him profoundly, and his fascination of the alphabet Pokémon is vast. In fact he refuses to rest until he has seen, recorded, and studied every one of them. Why not try catching every Unown and taking them to him? He may have a fantastic reward waiting for you...

I'd like to explore outside the ruins, /$2

hint: STANTLER xD
 
(Just realised I forgot to put the available treasure and chances of finding it for the Aytooem and Entuuzii Chambers. I'll implement that eventually.)

Kam
You pay the researcher $3 and he steps aside, telling you the route to take to avoid his colleagues. Walking through the dim and winding passageways, you find...

Baltoy
A Baltoy!

Ruffledfeathers

You pay a small fee to the gatekeeper and hurry onto the excavation site, ducking into the tall grass before a researcher spots you. A curious Pokémon walks up to your crouching figure and gives you an inquisitive poke; you sit up to see...
Wynaut
a female Wynaut! She happily goes into your Pokéball and you hurry back out of the site.

coolking49

You thrust three notes into the researcher's palm and he smuggles you into the depths of the Aytooem tunnels. Examining the fascinating symbols plastered on the walls, you get the shock of your life when one flies off at you! You hurl your Pokéball in panic, capturing
Unown-k
an Unown K!

ultraviolet

Looking around quickly, the guard pulls up the barrier tape and you hurry into the area. You dive into the grass and land on top of something small and feathery; it flies up and pecks you furiously. Shielding yourself and fighting it off, you see that it is
Spearow
a male Spearow!

Dr Frank

Succumbing to the allure of capitalism like his colleagues before him, the researcher takes your money and leads you into the Armour Chamber, begging you not to touch or break anything. You wander into a room and a small creature leaps out of the rubble and headbutts you in the shins. Falling over backwards, you drop your Pokéball, which lands on the
Shieldon
male Shieldon and captures it!
 
Sorry Kai, you posted that while I was sorting out everyone else's winnings.

Kai

Hurrying past the gate, you flee into the long grass, either out of a desire to preserve the stress-related health of the scientists or a hatred for archaeology. Whatever the reason, you soon get distracted by an annoying buzzing round your head, caused by a
yanma
male Yanma. You capture him to shut him up.
 
Kai

Again bribing your way past the guard, you sneak into the grass for a look around. You hear a squeal from underfoot and look down to see that you nearly trod on a
Togepi
male Togepi! You put him away in your Pokéball where no more harm can come to him.
 
Dr Frank

unown-r
You catch an Unown R.

coolking49

unown-y
You catch an Unown Y.

UPDATE- first post now updated with information on treasure you can get in each chamber. Eventually I'll introduce a few more facilities within the ruins where you can use most of that stuff.
 
coolking49

You hear a rustling in the grass in front of you, but you don't see a Pokémon. Intrigued, you hurl a Pokéball; luckily, it's not a guard or a researcher but a
Kecleon
male Kecleon!

Bobino

Wandering through the chamber, you spot a strange glowing rock on the floor; suddenly, out of it bursts a
Spiritomb
male Spiritomb! You catch it and make your way out of the chamber; on the way, you find and pick up a
yellow-shard.png
Yellow Shard!
(You don't need to post profile links here, by the way.)

Blastoise

You walk through the grass, looking for something good to catch. Your eyes rest on a boring old Spearow, which you almost walk right past when you see something off about its face... intrigued, you hurl the Pokéball and catch what is in fact a
Ditto
Ditto!

Dr Frank

The lookout at the Armour Chmber gladly ushers you inside, realising he's making quite a bit of cash out of you. You walk past a multitude of boring old rocks on your journey before hearing strange whispers coming from one of them... inspecting it, you find it is actually
Spiritomb
a female Spiritomb!
