If nothing unforseen occurs that might interfere with that aim, sure - just ask kindly for that in-game. I think and hope the smol panda will enjoy being a tutor to a much bigger and imposant 'Mon. ^^

Now that Shiva's the only one currently with points in Athlectics Speciality (I think?), training him a bit more for Bulk Up does sound like a fine idea.

Expect Nathan to bring it up if none of the encounters seem too interesting to pass up, then!

Bulk Up uses Intimidate as its specialty, actually.

Some OOC knowledge for you:

We're nearing the end of the timeskipping, so if you want to try any experiments, do them soon. I'm talking about things like the egg hax the Breeder mentioned, evolving Pokemon that take years, etc. For example you could leave a Nincada here in the past and it would have evolved by 2017, or you could leave an Egg and it would hatch by 2017.

And Slugma's evolution?  How is that going to work since Spira's first opportunity to trigger it has passed already?

My bad, I meant Work Up. Even if it'd be Intimidate Speciality, Shiva can be intimidating enough to make it work fine!~

Thanks for the link to the post in GameThread, Iron! Yes, I by now cottoned on that it's having to do with Cliff. My mind becoming sluggish is a sign that I either need to drink water, have a coffee or get sleep, I'll go with water and then rest. Night!

There will indeed be one more chance for that.

We're moreso talking about the hooded part of the cloaks.  Cuz ya know, hooded assailants and all that.  Flora would have definitely not let up the pressure if the majority of us were discovered to have hooded cloaks of any variety.

I think Terra is the only one who doesn't.

Correct! Terra doesn't own a lot of cloths, actually, besides a few pairs of pants,shirts, and that sweater Ven gave him. Before joining the group, he'd mostly be shirtless while exploring/living in the wilds, and have Lapis wash off his cloths if need be. Just some triva for you mates to know!

Unless I'm mistaken, Terra doesn't really have anything nor the means to exploit time travel/being time traveled to his advantage, besides the Pokemon acquistion and the artifacts/items he gained. Anything you think he could do with his limited resources, Iron? Like planting Berries, or something?

My guess is that it won't, and they'll be stuck with them unless Iron either finagles a evolve it in an unorthodox manner, or declares that all the time travel Slugma has been exposed to has resulted in it being able to evolve if left by a volcanic area for a day or two. At least, that is my take on it, since he said that their wasn't any other ways to evolve other than its Pokerole method awhile back....

Wait, he did so with that body you described?! Whoahw. But you m-maybe shouldn't say such a thing openly to me and my vivid imagination, my dearest... ^^; Not my type, but I can imagine many women/people who are attracted to men turning after him then. Oh boy! *holds back embarassed and amused laughter all while lovingly cuddling Windos*


Slugmas aren't that bad, they're rather neat. I at least like them. :C

Iron just said there'll be one more opportunity for Hida to evolve.




On a similar note...I could technically leave Carvanha in some salt water somewhere and evolve her that way.  (And Iron hinted at that in a PM he sent me awhile ago).  She probably wouldn't like that much, though...both because of being left to fend for herself (might be able to account for that, though) and because Carvanha hate salt water according to the book.  Of course, I'd have to actually have access to a large body of salt water for that to be viable, obviously...which is technically possible, I suppose...


A potential alternative way to evolve her might be...learning to hunt bigger prey on her own. (Also from that same chain of PMs I exchanged with Iron)

Both have their upsides and downsides...


Also on a similar note, this time skipping event is probably also why Iron said that pokemon like Whirlipede which take literal in-game months to evolve can only evolve that way.

Made that post before Iron made his, so I'll just say that I'm many things but a Psychic like Gallade, Gothitelle, or Medicham!

If you sacrifice one Berry in 2014, I'll give the entire party +1 dice on a berry-hunt check in 2017!
