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

[Lord Windos]

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 :'(

Ventus would have used one of his Pokémon to distract the Mega Pinser (Most likely Scyther, which would probably relish the opportunity to tear is natural rival to pieces), then have another go straight at the man. Probably Apsis, who would have used glare on him to Paralyze the trainer, then Wrap on him so that he couldn't move at all. From then on, he could have pulled out his knife on the evil doer and have him call off Mega Pinser, or face a very definitive end...


Either that, or do something equally drastic. In life threatening battle, Ven does not discriminate with his targets. If he can end the fight by targeting the trainer, he will.
