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

[Lord Windos]

Alrighty, I have a little time to wait for the next set of Encounters to be rolled out so that I can sick Ventus on whatever poor Pokémon/Item that earns his ire, so lay them on us! Btw, since we are in a swampy area and Apsis likes this sort of environment (Recall the first time she entered a swamp on route 1), are their any bonuses for her hunting out here with her master, Iron?

[Iron]

You aren't spending an encounter on the hunting, right? So it doesn't really matter. But flavorwise she'd be an awesome hunter here.

There's a Vaporeon! I WANT TO HAVE IT!!! I'd actually be down to help defeating Muk with my Psychic Types, but... I cannot to both, can I, @Iron? Defeating Muk quickly (with Nathan?), then stumble over Vapreon?

[Spiritmon]

Any chance to Heart seeks that Rare Pokemon? Since he is A rare Pokemon collector and that Pokemon is clearly saying: Catch me please!

[Lord Windos]

Ick, a Muk! Those are always nasty things to face, especially since we got a demonstration of what they really can do when given half a mind! I'd rather go after the Rare Pokémon, though, if that is alright with everyone else. A third of Ven's party is either weakened or don't like to fight Poison types all that much and he doesn't have another Antidote on his person, so if any of his Pokémon besides Apsis were to get Poison, then that be Bad Times ® indeed! Of course that could be mitigated with an Apsis + Abaddon combo (Safeguard!), but if its all the same I much rather get a Rare Pokémon for Ven to study then keep/trade away.

[Iron]

Nope, can't do both!

Looks like we have two contenders for the rare Pokemon!
Will there be a bidding war?

Alrightly then, I guess I'll solo the Muk in that case! Everyone, is that alright if Ven goes off alone to face off against that threat by himself while they accomplish their own Encounters?

[Spiritmon]

Nah, I think Ventus might need another mon, I let Windos get the Rare Pokemon. I caugh a Mudkip so I satisfied with that. I think I can go after that Muk. I think I go a training my team against that Pokemon. Just let Heart take a look in the rare Pokemon okay Windos?

Nope, I'm just going to opt out and let him have it, while I do the Muk Encounter by myself with Michael and Abaddon, if that is alright with everyone else. Muk's are still a 2nd Stage Evo with lost of powerful moves, so if I brutalize it enough with Status and Fainting, it SHOULD come easily. Otherwise, its gonna be Bad Times ® for it....

[Iron]

You can also both fight it and then have only one catch it, double-battle style. That's what the 1 (2) means.
