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

[Dragonstrike]

EDIT: And Nathan is actually being pretty reasonable about this, with short but sufficient rebutal. Huh.

6 Will, and he's been learning how to handle conflict a bit better since...well...I'm sure I don't have to say why.

Besides, he doesn't want to be angry at Shiva.  Or for her to be angry at him.

Maybe a little unjustifiable, people, I do admit that - for an onlooker. Shiva's nature and what she endured and experienced with the group/because of the group is it what is causing yet another overreaction here. She's sensitive, protective, still suffers a feeling of being overshadowed in the group because her skills and strenghts lie somewhere different and therefor has to fight a silent running battle with finding her path + developed depressive disorder and chase after the strength and resilience she desires for. She isn't 'strong'. She desires to be. Add the fact that she was frustrated about Nathan yesterday-in-game during the good dinner Heart made us and this morning-in-game, and the fact that when the evolution of Ralts came up during video-call home, she noticed that she never got a 'Thank you' from Nathan for unwillingly evolving his close Pokemon, only questions as to why this happened.

Now, when she is about to get the chance to somewhat prove herself by becoming that 'very special Trainer' for Gothitelle, she feels like subliminally getting stones in her path by the one Pokemon that dared to annoy Gothitelle (Rotom) will be taken into the party as well. This hurts her feelings.

@Lord Windos, Ven heared what she shared here. Here we have a nice example why I DON'T want Ventus to leave the campaign: Where would Shiva be without him to take care of her afterwards ('damage control')? He hasn't hurted her so far, so she's open towards him.

Well I didnt think that.At least in the part that she isnt strong. In Heart eyes, Shiva is the true "Heart" of the group. She is someone who stop Ven and Nathan to fly over each other thoats, and hold the group together. And when Heart was having grudge against Nathan, she and Ventus help him to undestand a little about Nathan. Perhaps she isnt strong in physical strengh, but she is strong in both heart and spirit. She is strong because she do not hide her emotions to herself. To me and Heart, Shiva is the stronger member of the team. And I think Nathan and Vetus believe that too.

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

I'm not quite sure about the latter (whether Ventus and Nathan would agree), but I do thank you for noticing her niche and role in the group, Spirit. I'm looking forward to see whether one day, she can be called 'a hero'.

[Dragonstrike]

...I would have thought Nathan's thanks for the reason for Ralts's evolution would have been rather clearly wrapped up in the genuine, appreciative gestures and words he gave Shiva back when she told him the bare bones of the undercover Absol mission...that's why it's not come up again from his side of things.  

He's never purposely tried to hurt her.  Nor Ventus.  And that's unlikely to change.

Sometimes, one hurts or shatters a person completely accidently.

Wait a moment, @Iron... That quick Round of Combat, will it be first Ventus against Chansey then Shiva = having our Round consecutively, or will it be both me and Ventus against the Chansey = having our Round simultaneously?

Two separate combats. But we don't have to wait for one to finish before I roll out the second one. The director will heal in between.

You know, I was wondering about something when I spotted Kingdra: would it be open to hunting and eating wild Pokemon like Apsis is? That would be a great way to not only keep it well feed, but for it to exercise his powers and totally dominate his targets, letting them be a good outlet for his prideful nature instead of some other poor trainer's Pokemon...or Ventus himself.

I was also wondering that, since Shiva is working at the daycare center too, it would be possible for her to help tutor it Rain Dance in her free time, if at all possible, while my character tutors any of her Pokemon out that would be playing/helping in exchange.

Oh, and looks like Ven has a video call to make with Mallorn tonight, and REALLY be as charming and persuasive as possible!

Kingdra is a filter feeder. He needs high volumes of tiny food immersed or dissolved in water. He can be very aggressive though, so he might be up for a little hunting even if he won't eat it. I'd say his personality is to just end a combat as fast as possible, showing off his power. He is the stormy sea.

Another note concerning Rotom in the anime: it can apparently morph electronics to fit its desired form to a limited degree.  So I believe it could, in theory, morph Nathan's pokedex to a more fitting shape if it decided it liked being a pokedex...

@Iron

Since Rotomdex is a usable pokemon in the 1.2 rulebook, should probably mention what type and move changes occur according to those rules if it takes that form.  Its type becomes pure Electric, and it gains the ability to use the move Light Screen (though it does break the trend of the secondary type matching the new move it can use in that form...not that a Psychic type would do Rotom much good since the only damaging Psychic move it learns is Dream Eater.  Light Screen is also a little odd to have as a unique move since every Rotom can use it via TM...hmmm...).

Not sure if that information will be relevant in this campaign, but hey, it's there if we need it, I guess.

It can inhabit the Pokedex, but it will simply remain Electric Rotom.

Other appliances can work the same way, or we'll use an existing form that fits it well. A Hairdryer could be Oven Rotom, for example.

Thanks for clearing this up... Well, Shiva finished her 'speech', so feel free to roll out the rounds now.
