[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Lord Windos]

Everyone gets 5XP to distribute among your Pokemon, and 7Xp for themselves for their heroic actions defending the path!

In the destruction of Tangrowth flesh, you each find one Common/Uncommon Berry of your choice (so it CANNOT be Aspear, Lum, or Sitrus). These half-formed berries will need one full day to ripen properly.

Let me know how you as a party handle the Tangrowth. Minimum XP bid is 1. 2 of them have lethal afflictions that will soon kill them if not treated. You can assume the vines will not return here today.

A flurry of Fire, scythes of Darkness, areolated blast of Poison, life draining Grass, and much more types of moves was used during the course of the conflict against the Tangrowth. In but a span of a few moments, their own show of force and unreleting fury at being ambushed prevailed, and  The battle was over in an instant. Ventus grim façade broke into a nasty scowl as Kingdol, the one who directed the assault against him and his friend, escape with Teleport, but he quickly marshaled his temper into line.

'There is naught we can do about that blasted Claydol now, and my friend and their Pokémon are fine for the most part, so wasting energy and feeling over it is entirely pointless...for now. If I ever cross path with that ancient relic again, then I will demonstrate to it my complete, absolute, and vivid retribution upon it, and make it rue the day it ever set its designs upon us....' the researcher thought to himself, his piercing gaze sweeping over the now partially devined area. As he first though, everyone was more or less in adequate condtion despite their former opposition's show of force, so he proceed to retrieve Apsis' Necklace of Serenity and placed it around her neck, before he ordered her in a much less dour tone of voice: "My sister, you may now disgorge yourself of that Pearl, as I highly doubt you want to end up digesting it and the potent psychic energies it contains. I promise I'll make up for this unpleasant experience by finding you some nice, juicy prey for us to hunt later, so please don't feel to negative about my decision." (I'll let Iron handle this reaction this time!) He also took the opportunity to pick up a half grown Chesto Berry for later purposes!

Once she had done so, the researcher wiped off his snake's internal juices with a towlet from his satchel, before wandering over to Nathan and handed it over to him, before he took a couple of steps back and called his sisters to his side. Apsis slithered other to his left side, while Haneal plodded over to his right, flanking him and facing forwards as they block the boy's sight of the fallen Tangrowth. Only then, once his sisters were in position, did Ventus finally speak with Nate, his arms crossed across his chest as he talked to them in a grave manner.

"Nathan, I want you to listen carefully and with an open mind, before you decided to forstall my actions in regards to those Tangrowth. As you saw earlier, they were responsible for both control, guiding, and empowering these horrible vines from Kirlia's vision that have utterly consumed the surrounding area, and would have continued shepharding them all the way to Stair City had they go unopposed. Additionally, they boxed us in and tried to disarm and incapacitate us all for whatever purpose they had in mind, though its a given that they were not acting with our best intentions in mind. Because of this, we can not just leave these Pokémon here, as they will eventually revive and continue their goal of choaking out the Cheshire region with these vines. So, I am going to do the following: I'll have Apsis use Glare on the Tangrowth that Shiva poisoned earlier, and attempt to capture it with my Great Ball, and allow you the opportunity to catch it or the rest of these plant Pokémon should I fail. If you decline the opportunity, though, then I will have [b]Apsis and Haneal kill every last one of them, as I can not allow them the possibly to cause harm to other travelers and the region as a whole. That is my ultimatum to you: either you help me capture these Tangrowth, or let me do my duty and slay them all, unless you have other alternative in mind that can handle them non-Lethally. I will not entertain the idea of leaving them be, so decide on how you want to handle them, or I will do so myself."

Order: Have Apsis use Glare on the Tangrowth that Shiva Toxiced, then have Ventus toss his Great Ball at it. If that fails/succeeds, I guess we have to wait and see how Nathan reacts to Ven's proposal, and whether or not we'll have our first bidding war in the Game.
