Scanner seems to work normally again, so I was able to edit in the mentioned sketch here.---> http://pokemonuranium.co/forum/showthrea...5#pid34615

Now I'm tempted to give Shiva a second point in Intimidate-Speciality.

Shiva use Intimidate on Nathan. It was Super Effective!

But only because he has a temporary weakness to it.  Won't always be the case.

The Force is strong in Shiva. I with the Force and the Force is with me. I kinda Star Wars mantra today because I watch Rogue One yesterday. AWESOME movie.

It's less 'the force' and more 'Shiva combined with several other factors completely ground Nathan's self confidence into dust'.

Oh, you watched some Star Wars yesterday as well? Neat!

Oh, @Lord Windos, you're not stopping by at the Almanac's floor? I'll edit my posts then a little.
'Beloved cuddly researcher'... Lol. Green tweed feels nice to touch to her.

Nah, I don't want to risk Ventus getting any bad ideas from all the moral dubiousness, like suggesting to Nathan maybe Porygon Z and Rotom could have a leasurely stroll in and out of the floors' electronics, or Reshirim forbid him actually approving of some of them! Unova rather....heavy handed when it comes to Pokémon Research and training, after all, so Almanac might be right up their ally...

Uh oh, looks like Nathan's been found out!  Not that it was hard to guess, right?

It disturbs me slightly that they seem to be working with the Aether Foundation in some capacity, if they have access to a modified version of Beast Balls...I would assume the Aether Foundation wouldn't want to associate themselves with a company that blatantly just doesn't care for pokemon.  Though maybe Gladion didn't do enough research on Almanac before approving whatever deal was made...(timeline for this campaign is primarily using Sun and Moons' events, not USMs')

The main reason nobody really wants to buy their Items is a combination of bad PR (for our group, at least) and the various sinister/dubious effects they have that either defeat the purpose of the benefit or make it unpalatable to stomach.For instance, I would have bought their Fast Incubator if Iron didn't all but explicity say via the receptionist that doing so would be a bad idea for the newborn's Loyalty/Happiness/Personality . If they were rather upfront about their Items being so SCIENCED! that it will have SCIENCE!effects on Pokémon and DIDN"T cause the Vines Disaster, my chara might be more charitably inclined to do business with them...

Well, Nathan has his 'special' reasons to dislike them as well besides the bad PR.  How they ever found enough of a foothold to get their business started in Creshire of all places, he might never understand...

Even if Almanac was more upfront with their items having 'unintended' side effects, Nathan would probably still vehemently dislike/hate them.
