[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

"Empathy Research? That could perhaps be approved. It takes two days to process an application, and we'd need to know all the members of your party both Human and Pokemon. We can approve up to 3 days at a time, with extensions available. Just let me know and fill out the attached paperwork when you have a date in mind."

"My intended party for researching includes myself, and 6 Pokemon; Banette, Magcargo, Misdreavus, Drifloon, Dusknoir, and Linkite. I don't have an exact date in mind yet, but hope to be able to do the research in the near future."

"Just send in the paperwork when you know. I expect it will be approved."

"Ah. ......Breeder's Exam? Though you were......rancher or historian, not like Shiva. Hm.....studying about.....cooking online myself *Motions with his Pokedex* Paid for very good lessons on it with Farfetch'd I rescued. *Frowns* It is....hard to understand, and give me a headache too. *Shrugs* Still, I try to learn. Lessons are interesting, and......want to get smarter in.....more......areas? Is that right.....saying, Nathan?"

Well well! Terra's taken up educating himself, despite his own lack of faith and confidence in his intelligence! What could have brought that about, I wonder.....

(...)

Terra isn't even phased or bothered when Mightto is summoned from his Pokeball and 'declares' that its current seemingly form is unTransformable atm, only offering them a smile and a handful of marshmallows that weren't there a moment ago. It's as if they seemingly materialized in his hand by the mere presense of a good doggie....or he just grabbed them from his Inventory while Nathan was distracted. Either or!

Regardless, the rugged wanderer is grateful that the boy allowed him to borrow his Gallade for the job instead, offering both a simple "Thank you," and a bow of his head. In exchange for this loan, Terra leaves them with Angie temporarily (Whom he gotten out of his PC earlier and replaced Genie [again]), offering them a small smile and chuckle as he did so.

"Angie has wanted to......meet with you after Evolving, so this is good time for that. Don't try to order her around without.....her permission. Has become.....more prideful and aloof with Evolution, so she will not listen if you try to......command her. She is still sweet and kind, though, so should be no problem playing with her *Shrugs* but told her to behave with you, just in case. *Smiles wider* Have fun."

(...)

Once everything at the Shelter is taken care of, the rugged wanderer immediately Teleports back to Cress, texts Nathan to meet up with him at the Center, and when they arrive they will switch Angie and Gallade back to their original trainers. Terra will then wait on everyone else to gather up and depart to their next destination alongside them, as he has nothing else that need be done in Cress/anywhere else. Simple as that!

Final Team Composition for Departure: Michael, Lapis Lazuli, Genie, Angie, Bastiodon, and Tommy.

As for Nathan's acceptance of his requested private meeting later on, the steely brawler just nods his head, finishes breakfast with his Pokemon, and does the above scene(s) regarding Teleservices. That is all!

Well, that first comment is a slightly awkward topic for Nathan...

"...well, uh...pokemon breeding is just one part of ranching, really...a good portion of the horses my mom works with are ones she's bred herself...*ahem*...one of the more useful things having the license allows is letting you carry around Pokemon Eggs without them taking up party space...so...yeah..."

He perks up a little when Terra mentions he's taking cooking classes in exchange for Farfetch'd.

"...oh?  Well, I hope Farfetch'd has a good home now.  Probably a lot better than where he would have ended up otherwise, at any rate...in any case...well, good luck with the cooking class.  Er...well, not good luck, but...just...keep up the good work, is what I'm trying to say.  If you're enjoying the classes, that's a good thing, too.  Should be easier to motivate yourself to complete them, yeah?"

(...)

Honestly, I'm not sure how Ditto would react to the marshmallows being offered to him.  He IS a doggy at the moment, but he's also a very wild wolf...fortunately, not SO wild that he's uncontrollable, but he definitely isn't your average Mightyena...

(...)

Nathan is a little surprised when Terra opts to leave Angie with him temporarily.  And she apparently wanted to meet him after evolving?  Oh my...well, it's not entirely surprising, but...

"...well, uh...if she wants to meet, then yeah, it'd be rude of me to turn that request down...oh, uh, yeah, no, of course I won't try to order her around without her permission.  Wouldn't dream of it.  That's the last thing you want to do when it comes to Dragons."

Well, once Terra's gone off to do his stuff in Stair and Nathan's finished his own preparations, Nathan'll have to take some time to talk/hang out with Angie.  Might have to wait on Windos and flashback to this interaction later (or do it via PMs), though.

Ditto is definitely more wild than usual in Mightyena form. Feeding him might open a Pandora's Box where he follows you around chewing on everything until you feed him more.

Your link doesn't work. Are you talking about the Egg things? That's already been answered - Incubators are free, and a Breeder's License is $1750.

You sure? To put in short, Heart is looking to buy at least one or two Hatch Speed Incubator and two normal incubator to help protect Moltres egg and speed up the hatch of Beldum Egg. And also to buy the license to carry pokemon with him.

Wasn't it Almanac that sells those speedy Incubators? I can't renember definitelly, but there was something in that direction.

That Lisence isn't something one can just buy, that would be too easy and would offend every Professional Breeder. :C You need to pay that fee of 1750$ and pass an exam about the field of Pokemon Breeding. Shiva passed it with an almost perfect score, maybe if you like she could help out Heart on studying for it or such?

And there is that too? Okay then. Heart approach Shiva and talk with her. "So Shiva, I need some help. I trying to get a license to carry Beldum and the other Egg without have to sacrifice a member of my party. Could you tell me how I can get a Licence?"

Ditto is definitely more wild than usual in Mightyena form. Feeding him might open a Pandora's Box where he follows you around chewing on everything until you feed him more.

In which case, Nathan probably says as much to Terra.  And Gallade probably has to give Mightto a stern look, if not physically hold him back.

"...uh, I'm not sure that's a good idea, Terra...last time Ditto was a Mightyena, he immediately started using Crunch on whatever was in front of him...he's rather...feisty.  Sugar would probably only exponentiate that...er, that is to say, make it a big problem much faster than you might expect."

[Dragonstrike]

Common TMs would contain moves with lower Power levels or moves that increase a stat by just one level. 
Water Gun, Double Team, Aerial Ace, Thief.
Also moves that are very popular and in high demand.
Toxic. Protect. Etc.

Hmmmm...what about Round?  That's one of the main reasons I'm considering Jigglypuff, as Round is a rather rare level up move.  However, the TM is also near universal in the games.

I'm also considering Hail/Rain Dance (for Forthright) and maybe Return (which is only $1000 in Stair, so it could fill in some gaps in the cost.  Or a pokemon could be worth multiple copies of such a cheap TM, potentially)

[Iron]

Round is also a popular/high demand TM, so that would count as a common TM.


There is a non-Almanac Fast Incubator for $2,250. It can only hold one Egg at a time, but it can be reused indefinitely once its Egg hatches. This Incubator doesn't have side effects.

(Oh, and it doesn't have an effect on the speed of a Legendary Pokemon's hatching).
