[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Lord Windos]

"Heya Ventus! I couldnt get the chance to thank you. Thank for helping me use the Good Rod and caugh a Slowpoke myself. Thanks a lot. Oh, and I caugh a Venipede too! I like a lot the Poison-type, along with Dragon-type. Any tips about raise a Poison pokemon? Hi Nathan. Good to see you okay."

Heart dont expect to Nathan remember he help him to carrier him to the Pokemon center after Ventus, Shiva and Nathan battle.

When Heart barge into the tent and thanked him for lending his Good Rod to them, as well as informing him of his latest addition to his collect, the empath gave them one of characteristic cheerful grins and clasped their hands together in joy of his friend's accomplishments. " Oh, there is no needs for thanks, as helping out a friend is reward enough for me, especially if my aid benefited them greatly! You've also acquired a Poison/Bug type for yourself too, I see, and a Venipede at that, a species of Bugs known for their merciless nature. Hmm....I would suggest stocking up on Antidotes in the future, as if it decides to live up to its temperamental and deadly nature and Poisons your or your Pokémon, then having plenty of those on hand is nice form of insurance. I also suggest buying or wearing thick, durable cloths so that its poisonous spines don't dig into your flesh on mistake or purpose, and having Rose out to act as a disincentive for bad/unruly behavior."

"The species also takes quite a long time for them to reach their full potential, so if you are not the sort willing to wait months on end for them to evolve, then perhaps it would be for the best to trade it away for another one. Nathan has recently caught a Skorupi for himself, so perhaps you can arrange a trade between each other if you'd like? As for caring for Poison types in general, they are, contrary to popular belief, not as gruesome to train and care for as other might think they are. While by and large they tend to be more aggressive than other types, and their trademark ability to Poison or Toxic compared to Ghost, Dragons, Steel, Psychic, and Fairy types, they are hardly incapable of being tamed. If you take the right precautious, are patient with them and their tumultchous moods, and provide for their needs/desires in a satisfactory way, then you'll have a faithful, happy Poison type, willing to do anything for you! My Arbok Apsis is a great example of this, as she's just the sweetest in the world once you get past her rough, haughty exterior!"

Though, I do have a few words of warning about the type, so pay attention. Most Poison types fall into either being predatory or overly prone to use their typing at the drop of a hat, so you will to spend a great deal of time training/restricting such behavior if you ever hope to get far with them without running afoul with the authorities/other trainers. There is also the option to instead go out hunting with them to bond/fulfil their needs in the most natural and expedient way possible, but Cheshrians heavily look down on such Pokémon rearing, though such views have not stopped me in the slightest. Next, while a Poison's types toxins are dangerous and lethal against other Pokémon, they are often even deadlier we humans come into contact with them, and some are even capable of melting through metals themselves, so ALWAYS wear protective clothing and avoid needlessly touching them. Finally, NEVER attempt to outright dominate or be too authoritative with the type, as unlike Dragons, Steel, and Dark types, they don't react well to things they perceive as a threat/hindrance to themselves, and are more than willing to show their trainer their displeasure of being bossed around too much. Instead, use gifts, suggestions/flattery, the experience between you and the Poison type to gently guide it along to where you want them to be, and don't be afraid of them or what they could possibly do. That does not mean you should let them push you over and relinquish complete control over them, but try not to be harsh or drastic in disciplining them, or you will certainly regret it!"

"Overall, so long as you respect what them and their powers, and are not terrified of what they could possibly do to you, then raising a Poison type will not be too difficult for you, compare to raising Koa," he said, pausing several time in between his long winded speech to regain his breath, before concluding the lecture with a smile. As always, talking at length about the various types was always tiring and somewhat strenuous, but it was worth it and the world if it means that his advice/teachings helped someone out!

Once that conversation was concluded (for the time being), the empath re-focus his gaze back onto Nathan and, once he reviewed over their choice and studied the details/emotions of it, he extended a hand out for them to seal the deal with a handshake. "They we have an accord, my friend! I don't know if this Slowking will have the ability to verbally communicate with us, but I imagine either we or they will find some method in exchanging information. The fact that this variant of Slowking can spontaneously learn lore from being bitten by a Shellder is extremely interesting in of itself, and I hardly wait to record such a thing for my own observations/research! Though, what is this I hear about taking them elsewhere to evolve? I thought that just trading them with a King's Rock would suffice, or is this species' evolutionary requirements are different here than in the rest of the globe?"
