[Meta thread] Iron's PokeRole Adventure: The Skull Ruins

[Dragonstrike]

Healing hands, Deadly Hands, huh? Sounds like we might have to solve a puzzle if we want to decend deeper into the ruins. And we will, given that this RP is called "PokeRole: The Skull Ruins".

My guess is we either need Pokémon with the abilities Healer and Poison Touch (Healing Hands, Deadly Hands), or we need to get a good luck at the deer Pokémon and teach it 'Healing Hands, Deadly Hands', and bring it into the lower ruins.

There's not really alarge number of deerlike pokemon in the pokedex.  There's only two I an think of off the top of my head:

The Deerling line (obvious)

And Arceus.  Who's also said to have 1,000 arms in its pokedex entries.  This isn't going to be common factual knowledge, though, and just legends for the most part.  Nobody in living memory has actually met Arceus, after all.

Ventus might know about it, but even College education can only go so far. He's very well verse in the legendary Pokémon of his region, due to his classes in Pokémon Lore and Mythology, but I'm not too sure what he knows about Legends in other regions...

Nathan knows the legends since he's a self taught history buff.  Arceus would be his best guess for that text's reference, particularly since the king was known for the legendaries he's commanded.  Why Arceus might be referenced specifically, though, he'd be almost as clueless as everyone else.
