[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Lord Windos]

Okie-dokie, since I got everything sorted out about Arete now, time to for Terra to act/react to ongoing developments!

- He's still patiently waiting for everyone's opinion on whether they should wait a day to Fight DEOXYS or not, where they should stay for the night (or if they were all going to bed in diff. locals), and their opinion on him attempting to recruit Chuckles!
- Heart's offer to share his Plates is meet with resounding approval on the sagely monk's part, clasping him on the shoulder and giving them a nod of his head! Now THAT'S friendship! He'd ask for the Electric Plate for Melly, as powering up her Discharges is sounding like an awful good idea with the swarms of clones the group's been warned about....
- Terra would go to his PC, and arrange his party line-up to be the following: Arete, Genie, Melly, Dunny, Pixie, and Oinari. An odd enough team for him, seeing as he doesn't have at least one Fighting, Steel, and/or Bulky Seperent with him, but this was the most optimal set up to taking on the mobs of Deoxys and the Original One while providing maximum support to his friends and keeping/taking pressure off Nathan. The boy was their VIP combatant due to his Sword, so it stood to reason he'd take even more care to ensure that little went wrong with their efforts as he can prevent!
- While at the PC, he'd also try to get in contact with Ventus using the special/private channels they'd naturally give him (Over-prepared and paranoid, Ven is), and specifically ask if he could offer the group ANY indirect assistance, sharing with him what little Knowledge they had on the super space virus' and their ideas to counter it. He'd also bring up the Scizors he'd caught, and ask if they could possibly get any more substantial aid in exchange for it (You decide, Iron!). Hopefully the eccentric researcher can help, even if only a little!
- Supplies Purchase-wise, he buys the following for him:  6 Max Potions ($15000), 20 Pokeballs ($ 4000),  4 Great Balls ($ 2400)  , 4 Ultra Balls ($ 4800) ,  3 Burn Heals ($ 750), 2 Paralysis Heals ($ 400) , 2 Antidotes ($ 200) , 3 Revives ($ 4500) , and 2 Enigma Berries ($ 4000) , for a grand total cost of $34050 'Poke', leaving him with $31450 'Poke' leftover PLUS the $7500 + $6500 + $2000  Loot 'Poke' from the riches he plundered from Cofagrigus' Kingdom, the gift the Scims gave to him AND the portion of the Gold Key Profits Spira gave him, leaving him with an an total total of  $47450 'Poke' left to spend! For Spira, they get everything they asked for too (Never Melt Ice, Expert Belt, Miracle Seed, 6 MaX Potions, 5 Great and Ultra Balls (Each), and 9 Revives) for a grand total cost of their share of their 'Poke' amounting to $46500 and leaving them with $29000 'Poke' + the $7500 'Poke' (Loot) from the Scimitars + $2000 from their share of the Gold Key they sold, leaving them with a total total of $38500 'Poke' left to spend! Spira would they get then get their full share of the loot alongside with their requested supplies, and Terra would go over to Nathan and give him 2 of the Max Potions he bought, saying simply "Here. Got these for you. Need them most, out of all of us."
- Eventually, after some small trepidation on his part, Terra would meet up with Jerry the Bug Tutor and request he teach Genie, Oinari, and Dunny Fury Cutter and a TM of the Move (For Arete) (4X$3500 = $14000), Genie, Dunny, and Pixie Rage Powder ($4500), and Melly Leech Life ($1050), for a total cost of teaching coming out to be $19550 'Poke' , leaving him with $27900 'Poke' leftover! He and his Pokemon are no stranger to rigorous and thorough training, so they all take to the Bug Spy Master tutelage with aplomb - though Pixie and Dunny looked like they wanted to cause trouble/mischief several times with Rage Powder, but Terra managed to restrain their impulses. Now's not the time for that, partners, if EVER!
- .....However, that's not the end of his business with Jerry, as he has this to request of them: "......Jerry, I ask a favor for you. A big one. Could you let me borrow your Key Stone? Me and my friends....we are going to fight the thing responsible for.....trying to bring Cheshire to ruin, and we need all the resources to beat it.If you need proof we have.....chance to beat it, we.....we have the power to make battle against....it.....not unfair or lost cause. Artifacts, from the Skull Ruins, made to beat Legends. My friend, Nathan, can show you his Artifact, to prove I am not lying to you. *Hesitates* ....If you will consider my favor, I'll...let you see and meet a Bug Pokemon in private. Take picture of them, even. You...just have to promise to keep meeting secret from everyone. *Glances to his Nautical Apricorn, then back Jerry* My Bug....they're......special. Extremely rare. Most probably never have seen one of them before, and most never will. Don't want.....too much attention because I owe them, so that is why I want to keep them secret from most. *Beat* Well?"

.....Aaaand that should be it! Let's see how things go from here!

[Spiritmon]

Conkeldurr: This is a historical gem. $20,000, OR an offer to breed a pedigree Pokemon with any Egg moves you want from Telperion University. (Pedigree Pokemon have stat Surprises)
Hitmontop: Drain Punch TM
Marowak+Gligar together: Heat Wave OR Air Cutter
Spinarak: Nothing, no one wants that.
Chest Crustle: Life Orb AND $6000.
Exeggcute: Blackglasses

Hitmontop offer Heart accept. Atlas will love in have access to a new Punch Move to add to him. Conkelkur he doesn't understand very much. Heart could ask any pedigree Pokemon from the same Egg Group of Conkelkur (he is human-like) or from any Egg Group? Could Heart trade for...let's see...Tandorian Pokemon? 

Exeggcute, Marowak+Gligar and Crustle offers I don't know yet, since I already have the Dark type Plate who have the same effects of the plate...although such item could be useful for Honckrow to increase his Dark moves. Not to mention be more stylish.

[Iron]

Jerry smiles, a little maliciously. "Tanuki sent word that you were to be trusted, and that you really did have a chance against Deoxys. Well, my bugs can't get in close enough for a good look at the situation, but I WILL give you my Mega Keystone... for a fair price. I think a certain bevy of Scizor would do the trick, wouldn't you say? And NOT A WORD OF THIS to the League."

[Iron]

Any Egg-Group. This would be a custom breeding project they would undertake for you with all their University resources.

They wouldn't be able to get you most Tandorian or Alolan pokemon, because they don't have enough breeding stock of those rare species. Could get the world's greatest Cubbug or Birbie though.

[Lord Windos]

Jerry smiles, a little maliciously. "Tanuki sent word that you were to be trusted, and that you really did have a chance against Deoxys. Well, my bugs can't get in close enough for a good look at the situation, but I WILL give you my Mega Keystone... for a fair price. I think a certain bevy of Scizor would do the trick, wouldn't you say? And NOT A WORD OF THIS to the League."

That smile of their's raises all sorts of flags with the merchant's son, and cause him to mentally hesitate for a moment, before he closed his eyes, slowly let out a *Siiigh* , opened them again and nodded, sticking out a hand to Bug Spy Master to shake on it.

"Deal. Not speak a word of this. ....If you still wish to see my Bug, you can. Think you deserve too, for what you are giving me."

And that is that! Terra has just one Scizor to his name, but given his ability to Evolve Scyther just by using himself as the medium to do so, he can probably Evolve any number of Scizor for the scheming Tutor from the numerous Scyther he owns! Mega Stone get!

(....Or not, maybe. I'm not too sure what he's referring to by 'a certain bevy of Scizror, but at least Terra has the one + the capability to 'make' more of them without any real cost. With that in mind, is this deal still on, Iron?)

[Iron]

I had thought you caught a bunch from that family. Yeah, we'll just make it so he uses you as a Metal Coat + take the Scizor you own. That is probably even better, since he already owns trained Scyther.

"I'm always up to seeing a rare bug. Always!"

[Lord Windos]

"I'm always up to seeing a rare bug. Always!"

(Nope, just caught one. Terra didn't want to deplete his stock of Pokeballs/didn't have too many to catch all the Scizors in the first place, so he just choose to get one of them!)

Despite himself and his own reservations, Terra couldn't help but smile at Jerry's excitement at the prospect of meeting Arete, easing some of the tension he felt as he again nodded to them.

"Then come with me, to somewhere private."

Assuming they agree, he'd take them back to a private room in the Center, and after closing the door tightly and sending out Dunny to stand guard/watch outside (Yes, he's taking ALL the precautions), he would take of his Nautrical Apricorn off his belt with a certain degree of ceremony and Performance (Want to make this event more memorable to Jerry!), and gave the Bug Spy Master a firm look that brook no argument.

"Remember: this meeting is secret. Not a word to anyone else."

With that said, the sagely monk readied himself with a quick breath and forced himself to relax, and released his most rare and special Bug, Arete the Legendary Genesect. The aquatic terror, upon spotting the unknown human before them/her let out a loud, challenging, and FIERCESOME chittering and look ready to leap upon them, but then suddenly ceased in its aggressiveness as Terra let out what sounded like a commanding tune and gave her look, which caused them/her to turn around and look right up at her master before settling down and looking back over to them (Jerry) regard the man with leased tolerance. Make no mistake, they'd still very much enjoy FIGHTING them, especially the heavy scent of powerful Bugs lay upon him, but her Master bade her to be calm, so she will be. Such was his Will, and so it shall be done.

Terra's stare lingered a bit on his prehistoric powerhouse for a moment, and then he looks up at Jerry before with a flourish of his hand he properly made introductions.

"Jerry, meet Arete, my Genesect. Take pictures if you want, but don't touch them. Don't want them to startle and hurt you. Okay?"

Reactions? Ooh, I can't wait for them!

[Iron]

"Oh! Shit! That's a Genesect, for sure! Wow! I can feel that....presence!! I didn't know any existed in Creshire today!!!! What do I have to do to get my hands on one of these? You know, a Genesect could really make people respect bug Pokemon1"

[Lord Windos]

"Oh! Shit! That's a Genesect, for sure! Wow! I can feel that....presence!! I didn't know any existed in Creshire today!!!! What do I have to do to get my hands on one of these? You know, a Genesect could really make people respect bug Pokemon1"

Terra raised an eyebrow at their request and brief explicative, but after a moment of thought he shrugged decided to be frank them. Maybe it'd dissuade from going after one, after he gives them the run down of what it took to get his baby Legend.

"Yes, it is, and yes, they do. One is in the Skull Ruins, bellow the Kadabra Chambers, and in the kingdom of Cofagrigus. An BIG, angry, adult Genesect. We had to fight it to gain passage through kingdom. Took me and my friend's everything to scare it off, and it tried hard to kill our Pokemon. My Zorua managed to ripe off an arm of it's, and I got a talon from it too. After that, we travel to a place called Slowpoke Well. There, a....siren queen live. Grants wishes, in exchange for Energy from your Pokemon [Briefly explains the mechanics of such]. Decided to see if she could Revive a Genesect from....parts of one we defeated.....and she could. Cost my Pokemon greatly though. Even more when I asked her to make Arete more Obedient."

*Pauses*

"....And that is how I got my Genesect. If you want one yourself, you have to search for Genesect parts and make journey to Well, and make the Wish. Or try to catch Big Genesect itself. *Shakes Head* ....But both not good idea. Not good idea at all."

He gives them a measuring look after he concludes his story, to gauge their reaction.

[Iron]

"Mebbe someday, when I'm strong enough. And can convince enough suicidally brave friends to go down there with me. Hey, what are you gonna do with this Genesect? Can I help you modify it??"
