[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

(Larry, you can also choose another encounter to do, since everything is happening in double time right now.)

throw in the common item I don't want to fight anything after a trainer

[Lord Windos]

(Nathan claimed that one, mate. I claimed the valuable one too, so that avenue is out as well. You are fully healed after every encounter while with the Van, so there is all the incentive in the world to battle trainers and wild Pokémon.)

I guess nicada it is

Larry was a bit curious about the couple and there miltank "for all we know they could be that evil group I've heard of." Larry thought to him self siting at the table in the RV. Larry was watching oshawott and weedle play while trying to train ekans in how to act while Larry was training he saw a nicada out side "hmm I might catch that for cash reasons" Larry said quietly

Nathan finds a Hard Stone - something great to arm a Rock-type with for bashing into other Pokemon. Hard Stones are formed naturally over centuries of time - this one looks a bit like obsidian, possibly from Mount Molten.

Ventus' foot sinks a bit into a certain patch of earth, which he notices is extremely sparkly, almost gemlike. As a very smart man, he recognizes this as Stardust - often found in the general vicinity of meteor strikes. The name is a bit misleading, because it's really more like pebbles in shape. He carefully gathers it all and estimates that it'd be worth 1500$ on the open market - more if he found the right collector.

Nincada Round 1

Abeja pokes its head into a little burrow in the ground, then sneezes. Golden powder comes flowing out of the tunnel. Larry hastens over and discovers a SHINY Nincada in the dirt! 

Its body is metallic, in gold and silver, copper and bronze. Its burrow is filled with sparkling scales that are shed from its body.

It emerges from its burrow, clasps its claws together, and bows to you respectfully, ready for combat. 

Initiative: (1) +2 = 3

Larry's Initiative: (6) +3 = 9

[Super_trainer_Larry]

"oh snap! It's a shiny" Larry said excitedly "ok abeja use string shot and come back" Larry commanded the weedle

ORDER: use string shot and come back replace with oshawott

[Iron]

The blacksmith puts away his tools after thanking the spirits of steel. He keeps his hammer out, for he uses it to set off an explosion of sparks on a nearby rock, to declare the beginning of battle!

"My first choice, is Mankey!"

He sends out a familiar angry fluffball. This one is wearing heavy porcelain weights on its limbs, to help it train faster.

Vincent's Initiative:
(2)+3 = 5

Mankey's Initiative:
(1)+3 = 4

[Iron]

Ventus pulls himself out of the mud and trots over to the Shroomish, carefully pocketing his treasure.
Shroomish nestles itself down into the dirt and tries to blend in with the ground.

Initiative:
(5) + 1 dex + 3 survival = 9 for Ventus
(3) + 1 dex = 4 for Shroomish

"Lets see you do this, Moran." He pops the Paras' Pokeball. "Let's play this defensively!"

The bug glances at it's trainer and chitters.

"Watch yourself, stay clear of any opening and use those weights to unbalance that Mankey."

[Iron]

"Bloody spring with its bloody flowers and not nearly enough ice. Oh hey! You want a battle? Sure! I am on my way to Mt. Sentry and I'd love to get some more practice in with my Pokemon."

I'm going to assume Nathan was smart enough to send out Ponyta against an ice trainer. But I'd like everyone to get in the habit of declaring which Pokemon will go out first, when applicable. On with the show!

Kierkegaard sends out a Vanillite!
Then you send out Swiftfire, and the man seems to melt a little.

"Well, our eyes met, and we agreed to a battle - that's a bond more sacred than a handshake. Let's go!"

Initiatives:
(6) + 4 = 10 for Swiftfire
(2) + 4 Dex + 2 Survival = 8 for Vanillite and Cubchoo
(5) +3 = 8 for Larry

Larry, what's your Pokemon?
