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

Also, eh, will reveal that Poochyena to the group earlier than expected, starting with Nathan when he mentions something like being the only one in the party who owns a Dark Type (Which is in two points not true, but he cannot know that) after learning what has hatched from that egg. So, @Dragonstrike, feel free to mention this upon learning what hatched from that black-spotted egg, but do so in a careful way to not accidently repeat history... She might react not too pleased, but certainly not 'overreact' then.

Then reveal that Poochyena towards Ventus in that Cafe, after warning him first since he might dislike it due to being reminded on the fae and magical? Then to Heat and Valder, the first might be interested in it due to it's rarity/uniqueness, but I'm not sure about Valder.

Might still need to call Professor Mallorn sometime later after having called home, don't know yet. Depends whether he might be able to tell her about such adaptations like that Poochyena? Or just to tell him as well that the egg hatched, since he gave it to us in the first pace...

I think Shiva probably won't be too mad at Nathan.  It should be rather clear he's got good intentions and only wants to help, particularly after...

Whoops, almost spoiled the surprise!  Don't worry, you'll see what it is soon enough

Help is surely appreciated!~ ...As long as it does not give her a feeling like "Nope, you cannot handle things on your own, your silent fight to be taken for full among Trainers and be just as good as a natural battlers despite your quietness and mischievous fae-like nature is doomed to be lost, give up before the fall"

...It's weird.

So, you like Nathan's surprise for Shiva, Phantom? I figured it was the perfect thing for him to give to her for a couple reasons.

1. Figured she would be looking to get one herself eventually considering her background. And if Nathan ever needs one for some important reason, he can probably just borrow one of his mom's.
2. Even as expensive as they are, Nathan had just enough stuff he would be willing to part with under the right conditions to make it affordable. A $1000 cost is easy to deal with when you have just over 3k.
3. It's very practical and useful for anyone with even a passive interest in breeding, so it's not a frivolous purchase by any means even if it doesn't have any immediate value (funnily enough, though, it could thanks to Skiddo ).

I'M BACK, AND FREE FROM A LAB REPORT I ALMOST ASSUREDLY F*CKED UP IN THE MOST UNHOLEY OF WAYS!!! PRAISE ARCEAS!

Huh, that's one item I didn't expect seeing anytime soon, considering the long term nature of creating and caring for Eggs in PokeRole, but its a rather lovely one none of the less! Ventus has expressed an interest in commercially and research breeding of his Corsola Ariel (If she stick around the daycare long enough between invading my game thread, anyway...), and one day his Pokémon could desire to have children of their own for one reason or another, so having a DN around is a nice boon indeed!

That, and giving/recieving gifts is always a lovely thing to do, especially when its unmotivated by repaying debts or for apology purposes!

Ooh boy, lab stuff...almost as bad as full-on papers...oh look, I'm taking a class entirely based around writing papers right now...

Well, we've got two breeders in the group, so it was bound to show up eventually, to be honest...plus, with Yule (still gotta give him that nickname in-game...) being infatuated with Swiftfire, there could be a potential long-term benefit from having one during this adventure (depending on if Phantom decides to take the chance I'm about to give Shiva ) 

And that's the big reason Nathan gave her the gift in the first place.  Apology wouldn't mean much since he's done all the apologizing he can currently as far as Shiva is concerned, there's no particular short term debts to repay...just a big ol' thank you for sticking by him despite the difficulties he's caused.

Actually, on the note of relationships between pokemon, I kinda feel like Kirlia would eventually find a partner too once he moves past the 'selfish love' stuff (or maybe getting a 'partner' other than Nathan is what might help him move past it in the first place?  Hmmm...).

The only odd part about that is...well, the Ralts line is in the Amorphous egg group for some reason, and no others.  And they're the only remotely human-like ones in that egg group, with the next closest ones all being ghosts.  Of course, if Nathan were to find a female Ralts/Kirlia/Gardevoir, then that wouldn't be an issue at all and he could help increase the population count of the Ralts line in Creshire...

I enjoyed writing lab reports...

Hmm, I surely enjoy that Destiny Knot, thanks again!~ Didn't expect either. Though I'm not sure yet what to do exactly with it, as I thought Shiva actually would only get to professional breeding on her own once she settles down somewhere (can be in Chresire itself for work/study or back home) or the plot requires something in that direction. Like, encouraged by having hatched that black-spotted egg yes, but getting an egg is something different and (spoiler incoming?) she'll also adopt a few eggs from the Shelter to care for already and is busy with her panda... Well, time and circumstances will tell.

Oh right, another heads up: I think that unique Poochyena will be revealed to the group as soon as they unite at some point to discuss these vines and/or plans. Sorry that I changed my mind again... It'd simply be too much of a hassle to introduce it first to Nathan when he mentions Dark Types in relationship to Pancham, then introduce the dog-hyena to Ventus and repeat where she got it from again and then do so a third time towards Heart and Valder...

Yes, @Lord Windos, Ven will be warned before so that he won't automatically add that Pokemon to his 'It's magical, kill it with fire!'-list. Will probably do so in the Cafe. The first thing Shiva desires to see after talk with Nathan is the Fountain of Brotherhood with Azurill and Ven and after that stumble into a 4vs4 battle against someone before moving on to the next sight. Okay for you? ^^

Sounds fine to me.  It's the same reason why Nathan's holding off on revealing what he knows about the vines, after all.
