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

[Dragonstrike]

That sounds comprehensible. And true, I began to wonder why you caught that Zubat at all with that belief kept in mind, since we haven't seen it once yet. :/

Nathan was apathetic and thinking logically at the time, so his beliefs came second to the logical conclusion that Mallorn might want to analyze the zubat since it could be the result of some kind of experiment.  

Wait a moment. I just read its entry, and remember that this Pokémon loves history/lore/legends, and Nathan is very much into that as well. Considering that we are going to be investigating the Skull Ruins and Ancient Cheshire at some point, keeping the Slowking seems to be a more appealing idea now. Plus, 6 HP and great starting moves make it mighty fine addition as a switch in to Ven's team. Would Nathan/SHiva like having such a Pokémon on their team, though....? Or should I just keep it and let it do whatever/guide it? Hmm...

Nathan would probably very much enjoy having such a knowledgeable pokemon companion, actually.  As long as you can convince him to take Slowpoke, that is, instead of arguing for its release back into the wild.  If Slowpoke shows a rather clear preference of wanting to get away from Ventus (considering what Ventus is planning, that seems pretty likely...), but doesn't show a desire to leave the group, then Nathan will probably take it.  (there could be other ways to convince Nathan, though...)

Though he does already have Starmie on his team that he's rather attached to, but Slowking seems like the perfect kind of pokemon for a history enthusiast like Nathan. Particularly considering the amount of dirt Nathan's got on the major regions in his journal. A Slowking would probably be VERY happy with reading all of that information.
