[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Lord Windos]

Director: "Oh, it's more common than you might think. Financial troubles, right? Well, it doesn't cost much for a trainer to raise a Pokemon, comparatively, so we do sometimes make compromises. You must understand ahead of time, however, that it is not free for us to raise a Pokemon without the income from battles, with all the costs of extra help and board, etc."

"Yes, we understand sir, which is why we arranged a meeting with you in the first place to negotiate a deal that would mutually benefit the both of us. As a scientist that has specialized in researching and handling Disobediant Pokémon, I am aware of the costs associated with not only the basic upkeep of such creatures, but also in providing the specialized care and attention they both deserve and need for them to be content and peaceful and the miscelanious costs they incure, such as property/equipment damage. I also understand why you are charging so much for Kingdra, as not everyone is suited to raise such a fierce, potentially deadly Dragon type such as him. However, I own couple of Loyal, Happy, and FIt Draconic Pokémon myself in the form of an Arbok and Niobat, and have an extensive background working with not only Disobediant Pokémon but Dragon types of all varieties and temperments, so could you consider defraying a part of its adoption price in light of this information?" Ventus replied, letting Shiva speak with the man first and using the information as a launching point for his own argument for the shake of convenaince and to reinforce his own. It also gave him more time and Insight he need to re-formulate how to present his deals to the Director, and after a couple more minutes of thinking he decided to get straight to the point and 'show his hand', so to speak.


"With that said and in mind, I am willing to offer my expertise, services, and labor to the Shelter all day and night for a week, at not cost or expense for you or the facility itself in exchange for the release of Kingdra into my care. From what I gathered on my tour, you are doing a more than sastifactory job at meeting the basic needs of the Pokémon in your care, but having me on your staff should greatly benefit them even more, especially since I've heard that you have been unable to afford the services of someone that specializes in handling and caring for Disobediant Pokémon. I'm also willing to advertise for the Shelter while I travel the region, donate the proceed I get from the next Rare Pokémon I capture directly to the Shelter, and arrange a business deal between you and Dr. Mallorn concerning that odd Beautifly, as I imagine they would be greatly interested in obtaining such an unique specimen for a reasonable cost. Those are the things I can provide for you at this point of time, but I am also willing to accept any form of errand or task that you would have me complete in addition to what I have discussed with you. What do you say, sir?"

The sociologist patiently waited for North to respond, a smile on his perfectly composed face that showed uttered confidence in himself and the offer he gave to them. Hopefully this series of deals would persuade them, but if not then he would just have to acquire the Poke to cover Kingdra's costs the old fashion way!
