[Meta thread] Iron's PokeRole Adventure: The Skull Ruins

Ok, they can have 1XP each because this is their first time practicing it.

Ty Iron! I bother you too much about small issues like this, but I appreciate your patientence with me so far! Hopefully I have not driven you up the wall yet...

By the way, I forgot to ask, but what would you have done if Dragonstrike actually didn't agree to the Retcon we did? AKA: Kirlia teleports Apsis into Corsage? I'm curious...and frightened about the answer...

[Dragonstrike]

That's why I haven't asked...I have a bad feeling it would have been...crippling, to say the least...

I essentially believe that it would be a fine case of Henderson Plot Derailment , where the whole plot of the campaign completely is unended, and the DM has to scramble for a way to keep it together, just scratch the whole thing and declare 'NOPE, redo!', or declare 'Ok, you broke the game, so its over!' Its a pretty funny thing to happen to others, but not when it almost happens on your watch. Unless you have a shitty DM, in which case its just might make things better!

Meh, okay, then no Tutor Session as my second Encounter Slot of this day. Will do that on my own, all alone, back in Corsage, in my mystically upgraded dorm of the Pokemon Center.

EDIT: The atmoshpere my character is eager to have in every dorm she spends the night in might have a benefitial effect on Helios' mind! Hooray!

Yeah, sorry about that.  Nathan (and I) doesn't really want to find out what might happen if a pokemon as sensitive to such emotional changes as a Kirlia was to instantaneously enter such an emotionally extreme environment.

That, and Nathan would be pretty concerned about how Shiva might handle it as well, even though she insisted she'd be fine.

Nathan raise valid concerns, my love, so he's not being unreasonable with his denial. A better approach would have been to aks for Kirlia and his Pokeball, use them to teleport to the center, have Kirlia mentally convey the location of the campsite, then let Abra teleport everyone back (With Kirlia balled and Cottenee given quick treatment). It would not be quick, but it would be relatively easy!

Not wrong on that... But the Pokemon Center in Corsage is a friendly place. Even if I'd be teleported in front of the Center, I'd be in within one step. But alright, I gave up to convince Nathan on it.

My, I really need the Breeder's Lisence so that such an issue can never ever happen again~ With Helios back as a solid Team Member, I could teleport around as much as I wish as long as Helios is fine with that as well. Or until Shiva gets headaches from this kind of traveling...

I wouldn't kill a character's Pokemon off unless it contributed to the story. But there could be other inconveniences to make up for the lack of cobra-murderin'.

For example, the League won't kill a marauding Pokemon if they can just faint it and keep it in captivity. Nor is it necessarily true that a fully fed Apsis would go on a rampage.

Edit: or if it was entirely their trainer's fault.

Considering just how orney a Level 3 Disobediant Pokémon is, being teleported against its will would piss it off enough to at least do some amount of property damage, or possibly hurt others besides Kirlia. I'm more worried what would happen to Nathan because of that, however. My points I listed a few pages back are still quite relevant, but there is no way of knowing what would have really happen unless you want to talk about it, Iron. Given that never happen, you don't have to, of course, but it would help us gage what is the threshold that our action have to cross before you break out the cursed dice against us.

'Possibly hurt others beside Kirlia' frightens me most.
