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

[Dragonstrike]

Mate, I frankly care at this point. Raphael was taken out in just one round despite the odds, Kirlia is practically no worse for wear for the what little he did do to them, and both Pokémon have a method of quickly and easily restoring their HP no matter what damage Michael + Plusle can do. I am not happy with this turnabout at all, as it just makes me wish that I included a 'No using healing moves' clause in the battle against you and took things more seriously (Like Buffing Raphael with Nasty Plot and spamming Aura Sphere/Magical Leaf), so unless Nathan suddenly decides to change his apathetic behavior anytime soon...

Yes, things turned around quickly.  But Nathan was at a pretty big disadvantage the previous round as well when nothing went his way either.  The dice just seem to be fickle, apparently :/

With regards to the healing moves, Recover was only ordered in Round 1 because Starmie had to keep up with a type disadvantage at the very start of the battle and the move is not being used again, and Draining Kiss was only ordered because I wasn't expecting a ORKO on Raphael with little to no difficulty (and DK is very, very slow healing that's unreliable for healing large amounts of damage quickly most of the time).  Plus, Nathan doesn't have quite as much bulk as Ventus, so recovery moves aren't quite as effective for him as they are for Ventus.

Yes, the apathy is going away as soon as the battle is over.
