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

In that case, @Iron, I'll change orders for Raphael!

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

Okay, @Iron, I changed the orders, they involve an Air Slash and Charm from Raphael now. Feel free to roll out the round then, please.

Lolz, you people finished Gym Battle before I finished mine on the ship... what will you do meanwhile?

[Iron]

Hm, should two differently named abilities stack? Not something we've run into yet.

From the FAQ:
"Abilities with the same name do not stack with each other, even if the Pokémon are different."
Maybe implies different abilities do stack?

I will go with that unless you have strong feelings the other way.

[Lord Windos]

Yes! We defeated Chuckles, and didn't suffer too much for it (after a certain point!) ! Apsis is certainly smarting from her injuries, though...hopefully that sports drink is good as the Gym Leader claims!

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

That implies to me that Charmander has INDEED Solar Power... nice, another Hidden Ability. Eh, nope, I fear the prevented stacking of different abilities might hinder me in my own rows at some point, so from my side, allow them to stack. If this was a dumb agreement of mine, well, I have to live with the consequences. *shrugs, before sipping on a cup of green tea*

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

Congrats to defeating the Ghosts! That opens that path to leave Corsage as soon as possible, direction: Ginger Town, with a stop in Wineberry (now with free Water-Scimitars).

[Lord Windos]

Still need to return that Slowpoke and make a little more cash with Ariel, but other than that I'm just about ready to get the heck out of here myself!

Sounds good. After my battle, I'll likely hang around a little longer on the ship - I paid to visit it, after all! - talk a little with Nightshade, and maybe slide in second Tutoring Session of for Helios (I Gamemaster allows). But we can all meet up at the Pokemon Center in case nothing different will be agreed?

Oh, and Shiva might - likely will - notice that there's a faint scent of incense on Ven.

(...) "For a Gengar, it's worse than any other trade evolution - they experience their bond with their trainer tangibly, not abstractly. Sort of a counterpart to how a Psychic type feels (and raising Alakazam is certainly a difficult experience too)." (...)

This sounds very interesting - now I feel like Helios, being the vivid Psychic-Type he is, is sharing a emotional bond with me, while Ghastly as the toxic Ghost-Type prefers a tangible bond to Valder through the shadows. It's comprehensible that he fears for this bond being cut by a trading machine a little more than future-Kadabra.

It interest me as well, but Ventus would already know this tibit of knowledge, given his status as a sociologist, Pokémon Researcher that specialized in studying behavior and how to manage/control it, and his own interest in the type. He'd be a bit bashfull if he heard that he was regarded as a well renowed sociologist, though. Part of the reason he came to Cheshire is so that he could conduct his research in relative animoty and peace, as well as studying the unique behavior and social pattern/norm/mores/etc of Pokémon here.

Ghost, Fairies, and Psychic, as well as Dragon and Steel types to an extent, would share a far more unique bond with their trainer. Psychic has a mental bond/connection on top of the regular trainer bond, Fairies are highly empathetic and attentive to their own trainer's feelings (also like Psychic types, but to a lesser/more complicated extent) and can influence them to varing degrees , and Ghost bond with their trainer is both spiritual and emotional in nature. How fascinating!
