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

[Dragonstrike]

Wow, I did not expect to see Shiva become so...prickly towards Nathan. Given that Ventus battle with her was FAR more unrestrained and brutal until the very, very end, I don't see why she so angry at you specifically, instead of spreading that coldness out to both are charms.

Neither did I...he didn't even KO Fennekin (I double checked.  Porygon was holding back, so there was no KO, even though Staryu did 2 damage and Porygon did 3 damage before holding back).  Sure, he didn't purposely handicap himself before Fennekin went down, and the fox didn't get to do much in the battle (getting off only a Howl that was neutralized and one Ember that was practically nullified by Cover), but it was only because he respected the danger it posed...just like with Plusle and Minun.

And then he purposely let her catch up afterwards, too, since he didn't want to completely steamroll her like Ventus had.  And then he hinted she still had a chance, even though he was done with holding back.

Makes me wonder what the thought process behind it all is...
