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

Congrats, Spirit!  That's a hard evolution condition to fulfill.  I'd personally recommend spending exp on the powerful moves that Eelektrik learns that Eelektross doesn't.

My rec is going for Acid Spray, Coil, Gastro Acid, and Zap Cannon, then Evolve. Cost you a lot of XP and time, but they'll be a force to recon with AND you can use that to bond with them fully and avoid the hassle of a partially obedient/Disobedient Pokémon (Its evo is EXTREMELY viscous, just so you know....)


Oh, and any reason you tagged me in your latest post, @Dragonstrike? Just curious, is all.

Gastro Acid its a awesome move to use. Capable to nullify the ability of the foe its a great trick. Like the Elementalist Ability from a Seikamater or Super Luck from a Absol. Its a Worry Seed for Poison Types. Coil its another excelent move to increase STR, Defense and Accuracy, and great too for Eekltrik because he doesnt have any Typing Weakness. Acid Spray for reduce foes defences. Wild Charge I can ignore since Thunderbolt have the same Power and can paralyze, and Wild Charge only cause Recoil, with is not good. Acid is interesting too because hit all foes and can reduce the defences. With a Poison Bard its a interesting move with become a Base Power Spread move with +3. Decisions, decisions...

I think the important moves to pick up before evolving Eelektrik into Eelektross are Acid Spray, Thunderbolt and/or Wild Charge, and maybe Bind.  All the other moves that Eelektrik can learn, Eelektross can still learn on its own (and most of them for 0 exp, too).  Eelektross has it easy as far as stone evolutions go, tbh.

Elektross also sports 4 points in Disobediance, combined with powerful moves it becomes a dangerous Pokemon. I hope you'll think well before touching it with a Thunderstone and making it an agressive powerhouse.

(...) before wandering off into Antheneum to 'relax' and await the time its time to leave the WEIRD place. If not and/or they fight back, they're getting awashed in white hot flames.

Oh yes, I'm fine if we get started on our way back to the surface from Atheneum as well then (I'll be heading to bed now however). Unless Heart wants to make that quick-battle to test Eelektrik before.

(Don't remember, so Ven won't remember too! Simple said, simple done!)

Back in Stair City, when we did the cotton candy thing and they were late to meeting Shiva to watch her gym battle with Dagny.

That jog any memories?  I don't think Ventus would completely forget the tale considering how awed he was by it...

So, what pokemon are we all planning to bring for the return trip?

Before we head to the surface I interest in making a quick test with Typhon with a quick battle. Maybe Koa and Typhon vs Cottonee and Vulpix. That would be a interesting battle. In the return I divided to bring Typhon with me, since he have now evolved and have no weakness.

Well, the moves I will problably get for sure will be Acid Spray and Thunderbold. Thunderbolt have the same power as Wild Charge (Power+3) and have the possibility to cause paralysis. Wild Charge have too Power+3 but only recoil. Between Thunderbolt or Wild Charge I take Thunderbolt. Acid I will get later because it is a multi-target attack like bubbles. In dual battle its a interesting move to use.

Truthfully, no. Sorry mate, but I remember the cotton candy social we had, but that detail totally escapes my memory....

Ven probably WOULDN'T forget, but since I did, I couldn't account for that in my post at the time. I could retroactively change that part if you want, but since it was entirely internal thoughts, is that strictly speaking necessary in this case?

So, what pokemon are we all planning to bring for the return trip?

Same party I came with into Mt. Sentry (Raph. , Apsis, Mich. , Malphy. Lucy) + Turiel the Overgrown Durant. Its well rounded for all sorts of situations/challenges, and while I COULD replace Malphena with Suphlatus and bring Ao Guang along in the place of Raphael, I don't want to risk it. Any objections?

Day 49 if you need a specific detail to narrow down a search.  I had music to help make it more memorable, thus immortalizing when the conversation occurred in the unofficial ost at the very least.

Not necessarily something that needs to be changed, but...

There is one detail about the Yin and Yang story for Ventus to remember that could also be either really good...or really bad.  Namely...Nathan did mention Hinata and Kaito (not by name, but they showed up).  Two humans who are definitely far more than human now.  Faaarrr more.  And they're well respected Gym Leaders and village 'elders' to boot.  Of course, Ventus could also dismiss that as just a story...but he'd also know that Nathan wasn't just telling a story, either.

Maybe it'd be a detail that would help Ventus cope once he remembers the story, or maybe it would get him to start hating people and pokemon he's not actually officially met yet.  Honestly, it could go either way, and I'm not sure that's a good thing :/

--------------------------------------------------------------

Sounds fine to me.  I'm still trying to decide which ones I'm bringing along, tbh.  Things can probably be simplified a little bit...still don't want to take any chances, though...
