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

[Lord Windos]

If we indeed run into Professor Mallorn in Corsage, he will receive a big thank-you from Shiva because the Guidebook gifted by him turns our really interesting and handy.

Ventus would probably have a few stern words with the man, mainly over ordering children to pick potentially dangerous plant, hunting Legendary or extremely powerful (and dangerous) Pokémon for use as mail carriers, as well as not exactly doing the best job of preparing them for the journey, given that he just handed them their Pokémon and a few items, forced them to pay for the rest of the supplies, before shoving them off without anymore formal instruction. Vincent and Ventus could count as he way of doing the for Nathan, Shiva, and Larry, but its a bit lazy on his part to pile on those responsibilities to people ALREADY doing a job/task for them...

Not to mention Vincent ran off without warning.

Nathan would also likely be a little irked at that last comment and would argue he already knew the basics of pokemon training at the very least, even if he hadn't had any practical experience with it yet when the journey began.

Mallorn also never ordered anyone to pick the flowers.  Just said he'd buy them by the bushel, which is something else Nathan would bring up.

He wouldn't really say anything else in Mallorn's favor, though.

If Nathan objected to that first point, Ventus would rightfully point out that basic Pokémon experience, while a good foundation, is not a substitute for having a Trainer or Researcher giving them guidance early on, which is what Mallorn didn't do. He had Ventus and Vincent do that part for him, which was not a part of their job descriptions (though they didn't mind helping at all)

For the second point, Ventus equates incentivizing the retrieval of the plants to asking for them, since he's offering a proverbial carrot for the trouble and danger surrounding those plants...
