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

[Lord Windos]

Indeed:

Something was stolen from me, possibly by my business rivals, the Almanac. It's called a Neverstone - it uses shards from all the evolutionary stones at once, as well as Everstone, metamorphosed into a single glittering item."

Professor Mallorn mentioned and suspects The Almanac to have stolen the Neverstone. If that turns out true, I highly wonder how the Water-Scimitars got their hands on the item: Do they work together? Do they share the same scientists? Or did they simply stole the Neverstone from The Almanac, or bought it from them for a high sum?

Or in the end, turns out it were the Scimitars who stole the stone. Nevertheless an auto-vlevel-up in Mistrust and Conspiracy Theories. (Not literally.)

When I saw that Neverstone in the safe and their research data, it more or less confirmed that, if Almanac and the Scimitars are not in league with another, then at the very least they are cooperating and sharing research data and equipment/matariel between themselves, if not doing jobs and assignments for each other. Well, its not like we can do much with the info, as if we divulge it to anyone the League and Rangers themselves would get involved, and so ends our involvement in that quest unless we want to risk legal punishment even MORE.

Still, I have to wonder just what end Almanac and the Scimitars are working towards, if they are trying to researching de-evolution and Genesect itself....

Maybe they want to try devolving a Genesect to its original form, which is theorized to be Kabutops, and then modify it by themselves customized to their own desires? Their Drives seem to be not (or not yet) real and functioning Drives either, given what the black binder tells. Whatever it is, they're up to something, I know it... Looking forward to meeting up in Mallorn's lab in Trillium now!~ 

Another thing, we collected quite a nice amount of money so far in the base, did we? A Nugget, a Pearl, and 400$ from that Scimitar, in total 6400$.

... ... ... Speaking of that one, if we decide to head to the path with the rustling and Pokemon that Gastly detected there, we need to get past him again. By now, he certainly awoke, but is contained and unabe to raise alarms if none came for him so far. What shall we do...? Soft-fainting him with Confusion-Spam from the darkness?

Most likely just have either Ghastly or Raphael use Hypnosis or Yawn on them to force them asleep at a distance, before passing him and going down the other hallway. Since there was no one else in this section of the base (That we detected, at least), leaving the poor guy tied up their for the time being without KOing them is still viable, as its not like there will be anyone to free him once the group passes them by unless we up with them ahead. In which case, another round of Sleep/KOing the Scimitar, from the top!

"Unfortunatly, I switched her out for my newest addition on my team for Haniel the Numal , so we can not rely for her help down here I am afraid. However, Shiva is right about Raphael's spread move Magical Leaf, so that certainly help us clear them out quickly. Having Starmie on the battlefield using Bubble would be optimal and its natural light would make seeing the Pokémon easier, but that choice is up to you Nathan. And he is certainly right about Valder's Froakie knowing Bubble, but I do believe he rather use Ghastly and Theo in battle for the moment due to their ability to fully see and operate in the Dark. Thank you for your input, my friends, and thank you Nate for being my reminder. " Ventus said, giving a slight, wane smile to both Shiva and the still very apathetic boy. While things were certainly tense between, that doesn't mean they have to be uncooperative with one another. At least he hopes not...

Just want to drop a reminder that Magical Leaf isn't a spread move, unlike Razor Leaf.

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

Magical Leaf is no Spread Move, unforntunately, but it never fails - which is equally good, especially with Ven's high Survival!

[Lord Windos]

Edititng time for both of us, eh Phantom?

I didn't called Magical Leaf a move that hits all foes in the first place though, rather hinted on the Never-Fail-Aspect... Unless you mean something else here...? I'm confused...

Only Plusle has Swift as a Field move though, but Minun can surely paralyze any opponents or diminsh the threath by Charm or hit first with Quick Attack. Kyuu is not yet able to use Disarming Voice, sadly. But...doesn't Raphael know Magical Leaf? I know Togetic learn this move, the attack should hit even in this faint lighting I assume?"

@Nylon, you're there!~ What do you send out for a battle against a swarm of small Pokemon of yet (for us) unknown species? C:

I'm writing the post as we talk.

Shiva sure has become the most popular and useful member of the day so far, with all the helpful advice and ideas she has given the team! Wonder how she feels about this, though? The spot light is nice, but it can be harsh and blinding at the same time...
