[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Iron]

Maria haggles a bit in her strange way of speaking, but you eventually end up at $400 instead of $600.

"Eee, I could use that Smore to heat my cauldron. My Ledyba all knows Silver Wind. They can make it windy windy windy! Watch how they stoke the cauldron fire. Come back every fifteen minutes and they'll do it again. And you can think about how they did it, or whatever!"

Maria tickles Smore and introduces the bug to her other bugs. "Bugs are the best type. Maybe someday I'll go to Smore's home."

[Iron]

"Oh...oh yes. I used to work here. But it started giving me straaaange dreams. I'm retired now. Um, it's hard to know where to start...did you have a specific question?"

"...well...I can think of one...that symbol on Sarimanok's royal seal.  Happen to know much about that?  I think that might be a good place to start."

"The sword there represents Aegislash. The Edgeless Blade, the Haunted Arms, the Sword of Kings! The Eye represents Sarimanok's favored Legendary Pokemon, but there are lots of theories on which one. The All Seeing Nymph, Uxie? The Justified Judgement, Verizion? The Steel Cannon, the CompoundEyes, a Genesect? Pure conjecture. The three decorated parts on the sword's hilts represent the Trio serving under the Eye: Royalty, Kingdom, and Knighthood. Which, again, could be any strong Pokemon. Aye."

[Lord Windos]

Milotic: (6) + 7 = 13
Gustav: (5) + 7 = 12
Duskull A: (6) + 6 = 12
Yamask: (3) + 4 Dex + 4 survival = 11
Gargryph: (3) + 7 = 10
Duskull B: (4) + 3 Dex + 3 Survival = 10
Duskull C: (2) = 8
Duskull D: (2) = 8

The ghosts start closing in, cutting off all retreat to the arch.

(Oh, I just remembered Duskulls are on my wishlist! Gotta grab me one of them!)

Now that Terra had gotten his mind firmly in 'Battle Mode', he quickly panned his vision across the gather of ghastly (no, not THAT Pokémon) Ghosts, and suddenly realized the vast majority of them where Duskull, a Ghost type from his region that he's heard about and seen several times! A Pokémon he's been always interested in seeing what its like himself, since he's heard rumors/tales it was more punchy/martial than the typical spectral being!

"Heart, I want to see what these Duskull can do and try to catch on after battle, so do not drive or....dispel them all after we Faint them...…..please," the wandering monk said to the collector without taking his gaze off the gathering of spirits, adding the last part in order to turn his demand into a sorta polite request. Social graces and ettiqute were awfully lacking for him, but he still tried to cultivate them!

After saying that, he quickly began issuing concise orders to his Lovely aquatic serpent, not wanting to waste even a second before the battle began in earnest! "Lovely, defend Gustav and Gargyph with your body, and use many Twisters on all these Ghosts. Endure it all, Lovely...."

Orders: Since Heart is going for the buffing strat, Lovely will be using her IMMENSE SIZE to track and act as cover for either both of Heart's Pokémon or just Gustav, while using Twister four times per round to hopefully brutalize and/or flitch all those ghosties! After all the ghosts are defeated, Terra will go up to the one he though was 'the strongest' and summon Genie and Melly to Toxic/Thunder Wave it and try to capture it with a Pokeball, and try to scavage whatever Items he could get off the Ghosts. That's it!

Moves

Twister
Accuracy: 9D6 Base Dice - 4/5/6/7 Actions = 5/4/3/2D6 Dice
Damage: STR (5) + 2 = 7D6 Base Damage
Effect: Spread Attack (Which should hit ALL the Ghosts, since Terra has MAX Strength!), *Flitch 2*

"Ah, 400$ is fine as well, but not one penny less! That's a deal? ...Yes? Great!~ Let us quick head to a Trading Machine then if you're having a spare minute."

With a big smile Shiva accepted the full vial containing the precious potion, immediately uncorking it with a low *plopp* and carefully taking a whiff of it. If the free sample was already spicy smelling, the full thing could only be more pungent! But somehow she enjoyed the smell. "So... It seems to kick in immediately, so it's best taken at a late hour when feeling the desire to get some sleep, right? It's very rare for me to stay up until very late, though I've never been a morning person. Something's telling me that this potion will become very useful to me, I'll try to only use it when the opportunity feels right! Thank you a lot for, it Maria." A respectful bow follows that both Raphael and Yena more or less mirror. She's feeling like GREAT THINGS can be expected from this young witchy potion brewer if she's showing skills in this field at a relatively young age already.

"Oh yes, you can certainly expect me returning a few times again to watch your dear Ledyba stoking the fire! It greatly helps me to see the move being used several times to gain a better picture of it. After all, the Pokemon does have to understand what you wish for it to do." Indeed, Shiva ends up returning 4 times, means she has seen Silver Wind being used by three Ledyba 5 times in total and has spend 1 more hour here within the Violet Tent. With the basic knowledge how a Pokemon could stir up a wind due to having used Fairy Wind very often, I guess she's now free to start Tutoring for Tricwe? (When however, is something I don't know yet) During the spare minutes, Shiva is strolling random booths, collecting some more free samples and enjoying the book from the traveling librarian.

All objectives are completed, half of her Team (if Dizzy and Egg aren't counted) is now given to other people while she got something nice in return! Very cool and I'm glad that everything worked and ended up pleasantly, thank you.

All great things do find their end though at some point just like misery does, but Shiva does feel that she managed to accomplish a lot during this visit of this infamous Violet Tent as she stepped out into the fresh air again and takes a minute to inhale a deep breath and stretch herself. Her weird butterwolfly joins in this and contently outstreches all his legs from the joint to the clawtips before eagerly yawning while showing his nasty teeth to the world and ending everything by flapping his wings once. He then looked up to his alpha female and the white flying Pokemon with a wagging tail and tongue hanging from his mouth, curious where they'll head next. Chuckling a bit over such eager in her doghyena, Shiva strokes a litte through his black neckfur. "How sweet that you're still up and about, Yena. Oh, and no, we're by far not yet finished with things. Let us head to the Pokemon Center first though where I can fill my party again." Naturally the serene archangel with her didn't get away without a few dear strokes through his featherly coat as well. "And how are you doing, Raphael? Are you....having a good time so far by accompanying me?" A half handful of dried berries is silently offered to him, does he take food from Shiva's hand?

What time of the day is it by now actually? (I wanted to use the last Encounter Slot for a battle to i.a. try the out the Goodra Scale right away, before planting the Kirlia Slipper at Celebi Park and catching the news of Jo's Battle, that'll be all actions of the current day then from my side. If time gets scarce, Shiva can always stay at Celebi Park and observe the news of her Battle via cell with connection to the internet, I guess.)

Nathan's obviously got his journal out, taking notes. 

"...interesting...and just out of curiosity, what kinds of items have you seen that seal on?"

Heart give Terra a positive finger. "Do not worry Terra my friend. Dispel pokemons its something I will not do my friend. Its the least I owe you for acompany me in such dangerous adventure. Be careful though my friend. Yasmaks and Duskull know the move Disable who inutilizes the last move used for the pokemon. You should order other move in case Milotic get her move disable." Heart did not look away from those enemies. "Lets do our best Terra. Lets show those ghosts its us who they should afraid."

The rugged wandered looked both relieved and startled by the conformation and news that the collector gave him, giving them a quick thankful nod and then called out to Lovely: "If any one of those Ghosts Disable you, starting using Water Gun on them instead, going from the weakest to strongest foe."

Order: If one of those Ghosts manage to Disable Lovely's Twister, then Water Gun will substitute it for his remaining Actions! Terra is grateful for the heads up Spiritmon, and so am I!

It's toward end of day for everyone. If you want a battle, you'll have to do that right away before you do anything new. (Or use Pelipper Pep Potion). 

Raphael has no qualms about eating from Shiva's hand. 

As Shiva is passing the Clockmaker again to leave the Tent, she experiences another of those strange LURCHES. A dozen different booths take the place of the Clockmaker in quick succession, before everything returns to normal.

You happen to hear him say, "Hm. I thought this new oscillator would keep better time. It's off by...well, back to the drawing board..."
