Ready to move forward with DIVE or do you have other preparations to make?

I'll be working on a post soonish.

Yeap, just give me a bit to get up the post. I'll keep it brief, so I'm not holding things up any longer on my end.

[Iron]

No rush. Sometimes I just don't know whether I should be moving on or if you might have a reaction. Still working on striking that balance when it comes to diceless.

Does this include also me since I kinda was doing my own things with Shiva? Because if so, I certainly am as I can just time-jump back and meet with the other at the submarine again - that is, if they stop by there before DIVING ahead.

Nathan turns to the blue male Dragonair.  "And you, my friend and charge...that was very brave.  I didn't want to risk you unnecessarily, but you put yourself before others regardless, and I think that's very admirable.  So, I think I finally know what to call you.  Yuki.  It means bravery, and I think it truly embodies who you are after that little show of yours.  Do you agree?"

That's an adorable name. A bit of an issue is however that depending on which kanji you use to write this name in Japanese, it commonly means 'snow' or 'lucky/happiness', 'bravery' only secondarily.

*shrug*

Blame google translate if ya have to blame something for an incorrect definition.

Regardless, it doesn't change the reasoning behind the name.  The important thing is that it can mean bravery.

*just launched Google Translate* Damn you Google Translate, damn you for being inaccurate! It CAN mean 'bravery' though, so all's well in the end~

As a reminder, DIVE is a 5 Power move that can create small pools of water if there's deep enough depressions in the ground (maybe even if said depressions can be forcibly made, too).  A strong Water move for sure!

Since the cover's blown on our group having HMs, should be no issue with teaching the move to any pokemon ya wish, either (beyond a disobedient mon going on a power trip or something). Teach with caution if need be, but feel free to use the HMs Nathan's keeping ahold of if ya wish (currently CUT, ROCK SMASH, and DIVE).

And with the acquiring of DIVE, that's 6 HMs we've gotten access to so far. We know the Scims have a copy of STRENGTH in their possession as well (and possibly also FLASH, FLY, and ROCK SMASH if I remember the moves and abilities they used in the Skull Ruins correctly), which makes 7 HMs if we can get that back from them. The ones still completely missing currently are:
- WATERFALL
- WHIRLPOOL
- DEFOG
- ROCK CLIMB

Yeah I would definitely allow Dive to work on an expanse of flat sand, for example.

Well, let's see...Nathan is the guardian of STRENGTH, ROCK SMASH, FLASH and now DIVE. While Heart is the Guardian of FLY. And the League have Surf. 

A quick reminder since Its been a while and my memory is like shit sometimes. Did we decide Heart would guard Waterfall and Fly? 

Also, I know I said Nathan should carry DIVE, but now me thinks it might be dangerous for someone to carry 4 HM's.
