Heart careful aproach the group of Meowth. Not very much to scare them. He also takes some food in his hands to atract some of them.

RE: [Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole - PhantomUnderYourDesk - 08-21-2018

Naturally Shiva is much startled when the Staryu came down to them, were they secret Guardians of the cave?! Though, just when she was about to order a Thunder Shock from Tanuki and some Magical Leaves from Raphael, she picked up curiosity from them, no hostility at all. Letting out the breath she intuitively held in relief, she gave a playful wave to them, same to the Meowth. To the....wet Meowth, poor cats.

That humming that started must be what was described as 'it echoes strangely in there', but she, Lilith and Delphox actually enjoyed that psychic power awakening. She's eager to feel more of that behind her fear of entering the cave... Stone Puzzles sound like fun! And sniffing Pokemon, which ones may it...be, she wondered.

Asking Terra to point out that TM in the wall to her, she takes a look at it herself - What color does it sport, and what move may be coded on it? That determines whether she'd be interested in freeing it from the wall or leave it there for the others. Or free it anyway and give it to someonelse, anything.

Would collecting some of the Stardust take an Encounter, is it enough at all that this would be worth it? Could Shiva take a small sample of that precious Stardust (not enough to sell) without spending an Encounter?

Well, that's certainly an odd sight.  Pokemon keeping other pokemon as pets?  Hmmm...beyond that, though, Nathan doesn't pay them much mind.  He's more interested in the cave and catching those Undersized Unown. Maybe catching rare or unusual wild pokemon besides the Unown, but that's likely secondary to the original goal.

That humming is a little ominous...but Nathan's determined to see this through.  And he's far from alone in this venture, so he's definitely not afraid of whatever's going on.

Hearing that those Undersized Unown are the size of a person's thumb...well, that's certainly something else.  "Huh.  Normally, the species is about as big as my journal...ones the size of some handwriting is certainly...different."

Shiva's already asked how much Stardust there is and what kind of TM is in the wall, but here's another question: how difficult does removing the TM look to be?

As for the dark depths of the cave...well, Nathan's got a great light source for this, but he won't reveal it until he's ready to enter the cave proper.



Meanwhile, Gallade's monitoring the surroundings carefully, acutely aware of the changes that everything is undergoing as the cave is approached.

Aye, they seem friendly enough. Three come up and sniff the food. They're all soaked, and they retreat when you reach out a hand to them, but when you are only offering food they nibble on it.

The TM is pinkish, presumably Fairy type. The Stardust is all collected in one place, so it won't take an entire Encounter, but it will take a little time. Maybe a half hour.  Same for the TM: You know where it is, so freeing it will just take five minutes or so.

Gallade isn't sensing any hostility yet. Tons of curiosity from the enigmatic Staryu, and expected curiosity from all the Meowth, and definitely some protective Pokemon within the cave. But in there, he mostly senses weird things he can't even figure out, and it masks the other emotions within.

*Finishing Flashback from my End!*

The living marvel, absorbed as he was in his own glorious and hard sought being, still noticed the mystical lass had grown ever bolder yet tranquilly fulfilled since they first meet with him, and carefully hid an accomplished grin. Looks like his self-appointed task of cheering her up had gone smashingly well. Time will tell if that new attitude of her will persist or not, but at the very least he managed to make her feel special and important as she truly is...

(…)

The rugged wanderer couldn't help but chuckle at how bashful Shiva had become, placing a delicate hand on her shoulder and nodding.
"Ha ha....yes, I do. *Shakes head* No need. Just....telling you what I think, and believe. *Nods* I will. *Smiles* She'll be happy to hear from her fans from other regions."


"Ah. A noble, Loyal Dark type. Like Absol, and Mightyena. Strange and rare.....but very good. *Smiles* Thank you for telling me about them, my friend."

(…)

Terra doesn't entirely get why the fae lady suddenly pat him on the back, but he did feel a bit better because of it, so he gave them a thankful smile regardless.

*Flashback End!*

As to be expected, Terra is completely oblivious to the historical/subtle aspects of the Ancestor Cave (and therefore doesn't think/worry about it too much) though he is somewhat perturbed by all the cycloptic statues of old tyrant Sam. Those Eyes.....they just creeped him out, and rubbed him in ways both wrong and accusingly. Blegh….

What catches his attention and full comprehension immediately, though, were the Deyo Flowers and the Starmie/Staryu enclave.
The sight of the former caused him to tense and warily stare at the meteoric plants, as Ven had warned him about the 'dangers' of them, and how they must be treated/handled with 'utmost caution and discretion.' He was also told that he couldn't just destroy them, however, as the group/others would throw up a fuss, and so the best thing he could do about them was to pretend that they didn't exist unless certain group members started interacting with them. So that was what he promptly did so after mentally plotting a path around/through them, as did Lapis, after seeing his master pay so much heed to such an seemingly innocuous plant. Better safe than sorry....

Meanwhile, the bejeweled sea creatures brought about a much more wholesome/welcome curiosity from the simple monk, as he while he had seen/encountered similar governing bodies of Pokémon before in his travels through Hoen, he'd never seen one quite like this one. Its not everyday you see what looked to be weird sea stars seemingly communicating with each other somehow, after all. Lovely, however, was less concerned about her fellow Water types as he was in the actual water they were all standing in, as he looked at longingly. Of course, seeing how it was already occupied/stacked out, chances were he wasn't going to be taking a dip in it without provoking the current squatters, so out he remained in the (admittedly nice) rain for now.

Terra didn't want to bother the Starmie/Staryu either for similar reasons to L.L.L. (nor did he want to rudely interrupt their meeting), so he paid them little head too, so long as they did the same to him/the group. Mutual ambience is a good thing, sometimes, as hopes to be the case here!

Both muscular man and fabulous fish alike were quick to notice Shiva's distress to the creepy statues/surroundings, and both press close in their own ways to comfort the woman with/without her prompting, with Terra laying a hand on her shoulder and squeezing it, and Lazuli carefully maneuvering his tail fin to lightly pat her on the back with it. Never fear, The Beauty and The Beast is here to protect you from all the scary, horrible things in this nebulous cavern....

Well......it was for the simple reason he didn't want to risk estrange himself from Shiva even more. He had already caused her unhappiness several times these past few days due to his occasional failure to socialize well with her, so for now he decided to 'play it safe' and just be watchful, instead of disturbing her. It didn't sit all to well with him (as it was his job to protect the group/Shiva, and he was blatantly ignoring a potentially 'risky' situation), but sometimes one must choose to do the right thing in a touchy situation, rather than what is correct....

(08-21-2018, 03:25 PM)Iron Wrote:

Similar to Shiva, Terra was also alarmed when the sea stars came cartwheeling down from their pool, though unlike her he and his Lovely Milotic he doesn't visibly startle from their arrival, only watching them warily to see if they were going to be a troublesome threat. When it soon become clear they weren't going to do anything but gormlessly stare at the group, they both eased up and gave them all a cautionary nod, before their Meowth entourage came and surprised them yet again. This only magnified into pure bewilderment for the mountainous man/fabulous fish when it became apparent the cat Pokémon were not only seemingly tamed by the Staryu, but also enjoyed the water as well. What in the world....?

'...Pokémon owning Pokémon? Starfish taming......cats? Cats.....not mind getting wet? ……Huh? ...This is very, very strange. Unusual....not normal at all. How....is this possible. ………...…Ugh....getting headache thinking about it. Hrrrn….just have to accept this is.....real. They not trouble, so should not worry about them too. ...Still, it is so strange....'

During this moment, where Terra was staring at the odd sight of fish and feline coexisting in harming and coming to grips with it, the aquatic serpentine fish got over his shock much more quickly, and slither over to introduce himself to them with a melodic trill and a smile. Afterwards, he then pointed over to the pool of water they were formerly occupying with his tailfin, then at himself, before motioning back to the water again and trilling at the enclave questioningly. 

In more clear terms, he's asking if he can take a dip in their pool with their permission for awhile, as if they were friendly/civilized enough to tame Pokémon (and ones that normally would be their predators at that!), they might let a marvelous beauty such as he refresh himself in it. If they let him, he'll alert his master about this, to which they'll smile and happily let him hang out in the pool while he and the rest of the group explore the cave. Otherwise, Lapis Lazuli will have to be recalled soon, which would be a shame given how seldom he gets to leisurely spend his time outside his Net Ball now in days...

Regardless, the rugged wanderer eventually snapped out of his daze when Nathan boldly made his way into the cave, and went on ahead to check it out before he and the rest of the group for danger, ignoring the Meowth for now. He promised that he'd help the out first and foremost before he prioritized catching his own Pokémon, and he wasn't going to break it for any reason!

The mini Unown wising by caused him to jerk his head back in surprise, before he shakes it and regains his calm. Yeap, that was one of no doubt many of the strange alphabetical Pokémon Nathan was tasked to look for, and he tells as much to the group/Nathan. In regards to the TM, he goes over to more closely inspect it to see if he could safely remove it from the wall, before he promptly does so if he can, if no one objects/wants to do that instead. Hey, you don't pass up a free TM just laying around (or in this case, embedded), you know! 

Whether or not he keeps it depends on if its useful to him or not, but if others complain about wanting it, he'll likely just give it over to them without much compliant unless its REALLY good. A TM, valuable and useful though they were, was usually not worth animosity from his new friends!

After that is dealt with, Terra readies himself to catch some Unown by summoning Melly and Mikey, giving each of them instructions on what their given task was (Melly KOing/Paralyzing them, while Mikey puts them to sleep/'sleep' with Spores/brute force). He then waited on Nathan to get started/ready too, so that they can begin catching Unown together. It was his task/job, so they only get to doing it when they are ready, not just themselves!

Orders: Have Lovely ask permission to join the Staryu up in their pool, have Terra get the TM from the wall if he can/if no one else gets to it first, and then have him and Melly + Mikey get ready to hunt for some mini Unown with Nathan! Its time to get started catching the abc s for the good professor!

When Shiva felt a hand being laid on her shoulder in this situation, she at first tensed up badly, let out a toneless and swallowed 'Eeeeek!' and tried to flinch away to free herself from the grasp. The statues didn't seem to like being stared on or must have noticed her discomfort and decided to play a trick on her, King Sarimanok caught her, he's more alive then ever ! >o<; Delphox by her side protectively bared his teeth upon the assumed 'attacker' and let his burning basswood stick flare up, ready to engulf them in some mystical flames. Kidnapping Master? Not as long he's present, hmpf!

Though he and also Shiva recovered very quickly upon noticing that it's only Terra, letting out a breath of relief before thankfully leaning into his and L.Lazuli's touch while turning away from these CREEPY statues, but not taking her eyes from them ONCE.

(...)

She was thankful as she found the Deyo Flowers to distract herself a little, but as soon as she packed one of these unique plants away she noticed that the mountain of a man was...not too happy with that action of hers despite not showing it openly. 'Right'... she thought to herself, 'Ven must have...told him about these flowers since he was so opposed and wary about then, no doubt. Well... Worry not, my love... I'll take care.' A mental nod of approvement emphasized that.

Still she felt somewhat bad about not being able to resist and just leave the flowers alone, which showed in her throwing an apologizing look over to Terra, well aware that it's his task to protect them and she was practically 'putting herself into potential danger' on purpose by taking on Deyo with her. It's securely sealed in the glass though, here's hope that it won't 'do' anything to her or her Pokemon... 'Please don't tell Ven about it, he... I.... I'm sorry...', she silently seemed to ask.

Huh, if the TM is sporting that color, it naturally allures Shiva's interest. There is only one TM known to man that codes a Fairy Type move, may it be that one...? Or something unique as this was an ancient cave where astral things were vivid, after all...!

Well, whatever it is, she desired to find out, which can only be done by breaking it free from that wall. In order to do so, a familiar blue fae rabbit is summoned to the scene again, chriping at her Master as soon as having materialized.

"Alright then... Delphox, please light the wall properly with your wand. Azu, look.... You see this pink disk here? *pointing to it and prodding it* I'd like to have it, so please hit the wall with a careful and held back Rock Smash, repeatedly if needed. Tanuki, listen - as soon as Azu did that, you headbutt a spot beneath the disk to set it free, please. Understood? Yes? Perfect, go for it!" If Terra wishes to help as he has shown interest in the disk as well, he of course can do so, it'd be appreciated.

(If an Accuracy Roll is needed for Rock Smash and Headbutt, it's 4 Dext + 2 Fight + 2 Brawl = 8d6, no Damage as we hold back.)

If that can't be done without taking big risks or somehow doesn't work, she'll ask for the pickaxe Climbing Tools or similar among the group and frees it that way while Azu lends her a Helping Hand (9d6 in Accuracy) and Tanuki helps with Headbutt until the TM is fred.

-----------------------------------

Once that's done, Shiva does take the time to collect a bit of Stardust laying around in a small pouch since it does not cost an Encounter; not to sell though but to keep for herself as she just likes that silky touch of this dust. Maybe if she's broke it can be sold, but not for a while now.

As a side effect, she's waiting for Heart having cleared things with a Meowth, not going deeper until he comes along as well.


RE: [Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole - Dragonstrike - 08-24-2018

When Terra stares at the flowers warily, Gallade turns slightly to stare back.  And he makes absolutely sure Terra sees it, too.  It's impossible to tell what he's thinking, but it doesn't seem to be anything negative...

...and then he goes back to staring at the flowers as if nothing had happened.

------------

Since nobody else is doing so, Nathan will start collecting the Stardust.  He's not entering the cave quite yet.

(On the note of the Digging Tools...yeah, Ventus had those, and he didn't leave them behind, so...yeah. No pickaxe right now.)
