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

[Lord Windos]

Ya know, I'm kinda surprised that Ventus doesn't recognize that Kirlia's held item is a Clamperl Pearl.

Guess he hasn't studied aquatic pokemon (and Spoink) all that much?

Or he (Ven) simply isn't starring at Kirlia whenever he's near to find out what exactly that is what he (Kirlia) is holding? My, that is a weird thing to imagine... Or Kirlia simply isn't showy with that pearl.

Its a little of both, actually, along with the fact that good? old Ven was VERY distracted at the time when Kirlia nearly blasted/kissed Lucifer to oblivion over his early Frisking antics. He's studied and researcher pretty much the entire Pokedex besides Legendary Pokémon and Pokémon native from Tandor at this point of time, so he would be quite aware of Clampearl and Spoinks's Pearl....if it were not for several factors.

One, Aquatic/Hoen Pokémon were not his main fields of research (Those would be Dragon, Fairy [Know thy enemy], Steel, Ghost, and Disobediant/Unruly/Viscous Pokémon, along with his broader studies of Pokémon Behaviorology + Sociology PHD). Two, its been awhile since he's actually seen a Clampearl/Spoink , and while their Pearls are rather distinct, so are the qualities of the several hundreds of Pokémon that exist in the world. He's a good researcher, but he does not think and archive memories/info like a computer! Third, he just hasn't really been paying to much attention to the Pearl ever since that spat over it in Winesberry, as quite frankly from then on he had much bigger things on his mind, so he hasn't really thought about it deeply. If Ven asked to see the Pearl for a few minutes that might jog his memory fully, but since he doesn't have too much of a reason to besides curiosity's shake, he won't.

As far as he's aware, its just a valuable pearl that powers up Kirlia in some way, based on what he has seen/felt, and is content to leave it at that. Nothing much more to it than that, honestly.
