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

[Iron]

Okay @Iron, I've thought about things and would like to share these thoughts with you. ...Actually, it should be relatively feasible that Shiva does get both you-know-what from the Department Store and that Gothitelle from the Shelter. You took the effort to bring up a Pokemon with a background for my chara that I'd really enjoy seeing and growing beside her and even made/are making it some sort of challenge for her whether Shiva will be able to get it to like and obey her, I feel a little bad to throw that away... Plus, I like that you don't make it easy to obtain this Pokemon.

Thing is, the first thing should be affordable by the money Shiva already has, nothing special. As for the fine to adopt this Gothitelle, I'd sell Fletchling (Litwick is a decent hatcher already), Oddish (the important thing about that Pokemon was the book that it held anyway) and Snubbull (I like that 'Mon, but barely time to train it) PLUS the Dragon Scale she has AND some Shield Dust from her special Poochyena to someone of interest. For what remains then, Shiva will work hard at the Shelter every afternoon as long as the group is in Stair City until she can have the Gothitelle and pay for the pink Mystery Egg, and probably voluntarily afterwards. She'll offer this to Director North, alongside explaining why she would like to have that particular Pokemon and subliminally lower the price just a little. I'll leave counting dollars to your discretion. Of course, all this is only possible if Gothitelle would agree to travel with Shiva at all.

There are two questions I'd appreciate to have answered though, please:

1. How much Happiness and Loyalty does an adopted Pokemon start with? Same like an acquired 'Mon?
2. If Gothitelle agrees to travel with faelike/ocassionally gothlike Shiva, she'll replace Helios in my team as soon as he learned Ally Switch (since Gothitelle already learns Telekinesis via Lvl-Up). However, @Nylon, we can still glady trade for evolving Haunter whenever you desire to do so!~ Thing is, would it be possible to tutor Gothitelle in Teleport to still have this useful move always on hand? Would tutoring count as some bonding-time/ 'I know what I am doing, I show you that I'm worthy to be your Master'?

We can work with this. 

1. Their Happiness is going to be 3 if they want to be adopted by you. Their Loyalty will usually be 0 or 1, however.
2. It's not on any of Gothitelle's lists, so you would have to pay for the Surprise or become a level 5 tutor and then get GM permission (I'd approve this one). A Surprise Teleport would be 20XP to unlock plus the XP cost of learning it on a comparable Pokemon, the latter of which you could replace with Move Tutoring rules.
