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

[Dragonstrike]

Because most player characters never run from a fight :p

Which is not to say they shouldn't. Just that few ever even think of it as an option.

Sometimes, running is the smartest choice.  Nathan was only pushing that hard in the battle because he knew he could get away with it  It will have repercussions later, true, but this trainer is going to regret not starting with the negotiations Nathan had offered under completely reasonable (and very, very open) terms.

Now, if Zippy's gust had KOed that Pinsir?  Whole different story.  Then Nathan would have stood a fair chance against him since he would have still had 5 healthy and strong pokemon. That gust missing with triple threes was a slap in the face, man :'(
