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

[Dragonstrike]

Most likely when you have A) Resolved things Successfully with Ventus so that he no longer is apathetic/spiteful towards your character ,B) while Shiva and the researcher are surrounded by their strongest Pokémon as both a form of protection and message to the devil dog, plainly telling it that they will broke no mischief, trechory, or antics towards them or others, and C) At a moment in time when revealing the beast doesn't compound existing worries/fears. As for a compromise, though, I would be extremely happy to hear of a way to actually introduce Orthros to the party without a meltdown happening! I don't have one myself, though, since I just don't know where to begin on that...

Quite frankly, my current plan is try to get things to the point where Nathan can at least show Shiva the dog means zero harm to her (Starmie and Calam being the safety nets in all likelihood, even though Nathan has no reason to distrust Orthros at this point.  I'm also hoping that Nathan's very, very honest appreciation has helped get a little closer to that...), and then trying to integrate him into everyday stuff so everyone can get used to him being around.  Nathan as a 'pack leader' is certainly very different from a Mega-Houndoom that's feasting on negative energy.

Maybe a demonstration of his obedience in the Little Cup would help as well?
