Sounds like a plan, and I don't really have anything more to add.  I hope it goes well...and yes, I'll spend 1 Will on that Stealth check and increase Stealth by 2 to help make sure it gets off because we NEED that ambush to succeed.  I hope we can do all of this before Seika decides it's time for a snack...

Not sure if Night Slashes will phase her, but Calam can assist with the Rock Smashing if he has to.

Just say the word IC so Nathan can put how antsy he is atm to good use and get that Stealth leveled and Rock Smash taught to those who need it.

Alright, I'll get things written up done pronto Toronto once we get Spiritmon's and Phantom's input, as we need their say in things before we can go ahead with full confidence/support from everyone.

I make my confirmation in my post above.

Plan approved from my side, so let us start on things then! ( ÒωÓ)و☆

I'll also raise Perfom Speciality to 3 to add a dice to the Accuracy Roll of Helping Hand, Tropius and Yule will learn Rock Smash, Nathan will be handed the Baashaun Boots from me for +1 dice on the Stealth Check at that point. You, Windos, have to make sure that Lucifer listens to Nathan's orders...

Ah, and I'd rather have Tropius out and ready instead of Lilith. While her Telekinesis (guaranteed Never Fail for all of our attacks on Seika for 2 Rounds!) anf Heal Block (Preventing possible Heal Order?) are rather useful on it's own, I'd rather have our mount prepared and actively helping on bringing down the castle on Seika, and instant-ready to cast SE-STAB Gusts on her directly shall it become necessary. I was thinking about Yena aiding him in order to Crunch Seikamater down, UNLESS there'll be penalities or drawbacks to use one of the captured Pokemon after it's been fred successfully.

Just be careful.  If Tropius (or any of our other mounts) gets KOed, well, that's gonna be...inconvenient, to say the least.

So, here's the next question: who gets whose pokeballs?

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

Hmm... Valid concerns you are sharing there. But it's as Windos said earlier, if I'll use Lilith I'll have to keep her out as there are only 2 recalls allowed per Round, and while I'd be all for using a Telekinesis and a Heal Block on Seika, she might...notice it.. I'd rather keep rely on Azu and Tropius out and in action.

So, here's the next question: who gets whose pokeballs?

With Grid, it's 9 captured Pokemon according to the document Iron provided yesterday. But he's not really counting as he's not directly 'captured', but 'simply' cannot be used, making it 8 Pokemon we need to free - not counting Valder who will guard the entrance of the cavern that'll be 2 Pokeballs each for Shiva/Ventus/Heart/Nathan.

I'm calling dibs on Mightyena and Slurpuff please!

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

Thinking of Slurpuff, I had another thought that hasn't been mentioned/considered so far: It'd be best if Mr. Finder stays with Valder and Mamo+Haunter at the entrance of the cavern to be out of direct actions. That way he's, well, in moderate safety, and we'll have Yule as an emergency mount shall anything happen to Tropius or Swiftfire.

Well, keep in mind that Yule is small enough that he can probably only comfortably fit one human on his back.  Unless he were to suddenly evolve, that is.  Then he could maybe fit two.

I know, but he can still be called on shall one of our other mounts happen to be hindered/hurt in the means of 'not being able to carry two people anymore'. That, or he can carry an injured Pokemon or similar shall it be necessary.

Comparing height and weight of Pokemon in the Corebook, a Skiddo is only 10cm smaller than a Mightyena and 6kg lighter (0.9m vs 1m and 31kg vs 37kg) - that makes me wonder whether Yena could be...used as a mount for 1 small person like Shiva? o.o I'd be cool if so, but I guess it's not as Mightyena are not build for carrying people while Skiddo are with enough imagination.

EDIT: Anime proves it in one episode:

We need some clarification from you on which pokemon are in your current party.  Before you caught Delta Pineco, the lineup we were assuming you had was Theo, Haunter, Mamo, Starmie (loaned from Nathan), Grid (originally loaned to Ventus from Nathan, but handed over to Valder when Ventus caught Turiel), and Zippy (also loaned from Nathan).  A full party of 6.

Was Delta Pineco sent to the PC when you caught it?  If not, we need to know if Starmie (the big light source in the group) or Grid (the party's only electric type on hand atm) was sent to the PC (Zippy was in captivity at the time, so sending him back is a no-go no matter what)

[Lord Windos]

If he doesn't come back on today or does not make a comment about it, I would like to say he sent it to the PC in order not to disrupt the preplaned composition of the Mt. Sentry Expedition Party and hinder the entire group. Either that, or Ventus ordered him to. Whichever option that prevent MORE disruption to the Pokémon we have available and are usable.

 Pardon me for being late as always.
The pineco wasn't sent anywhere (though I could always change this). When we reach a point where there could be league officials Valder will hopefully have given one of the 7 pokes back.
 I believed this was fine as long as they're not out at the same time and as long an official doesn't see it.

 Please enlighten me if I'm being stupid, because I often am :P.
