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

[Lord Windos]

Well, now that's two pokemon in Nathan's pool that Shiva doesn't like (once I actually get Rotom, that is).  Neither of which are likely to cause any long term problems as far as Shiva and her pokemon are concerned...*sigh*...

They could, if either Rotom or Orthros causes Shiva to experience a mental breakdown/panic attack if their respective actions or effects pushes her over the edge. Remember how she almost contemplated suicide just because of a misunderstanding? Imagine how she'll react when its revealed that Nathan has been harboring something that is literraly a nightmare come true for her, or if Rotom decided to be extra mischevious and screw around with her electronics. There is also the fact that Kyu and Gothitelle would most likely not appreciate either of the Disobedient Pokémon , the former due to being hunted by them, and the later because of their personality towards threatening beings....

So what? She still prefers respectful distance to Apsis, Braixen hates Ventus and Shiva might faint in shock after seeing Nidorino with Poison Point.

It' not just about the pokemon, though.  This is a rather severe blow to Nathan's confidence, too.  Now that he knows what she thinks of Delta Species, and after seeing how she's reacted to a simple Rotom that clearly isn't going to cause any of the problems she's worried about, he's now REALLY worried about how she'll react to Orthros...

And if he can't get someone he considers a friend to at least tolerate a pokemon surrounded in paranoia, how is he going to do the same for a wider audience?

You know, instead of trying to redeem and/or re-work the imagine of Pokémon like Callem, Orthros, or Rotom, he could just adopt Ven's philosophy when it comes to them: Love and care for them with all your heart, and fuck anyone that disagrees with choice in Pokémon, or simply not give a fuck about the opinion of others. He owns an Arbok that right terrifies 80% of people/creatures , and eventually he'll own both a Kingdra and Noivern in the future, and while he would like others to treat them fair, if they don't *Shrugs* F*ck em, and keep on raising them however he prefers. He may be a Pokémon Researcher that specializes in Disobedient Pokémon and Dragon/Steel/Ghost types, but that doesn't necessary mean he's going to advocate or clear the images of all of them, and on the contrary would mostly agree with why most view such suspicious/dangerous Pokémon with contempt and fear. He just wouldn't have to like it or suffer it any longer than he should.
