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

[Dragonstrike]

Ven's not taking any chances with it at ALL, since he full well knows that give it any inch could result in him and Ao Guang getting a nice soul smoldering tan! Better be safe than sorry with highly Disobedient Pokémon with highly Lethal Moves/Traits available to it, after all!

As for leaving Chandleure to die, Ven's done far worse to Pokémon in terms of cruelity when they posed a threat to his/his Pokémon's life and wellbeing (Torturing the Delta Houndour to death claims that #1 spot!) , and he's not exactly concerned with how others view his actions so long as they are Legal/justified/He can get away with it, so not only would he be unconcerned by just leaving the ghost to wither away from Poisoning, its a better fate than just letting it be eaten alive by Apsis, put out by Ao Guang, or exorcised painfully by Ventus. Leaving it alone and/or unpoision is also not an option, since every Status on it makes it easier to capture (Which now that I think about it, since Orthros became Frozen, that's ANOTHER Status I could add onto it! Genuis!) , which as you point out will be rather hard with Pokeballs and 4 Disobedience/High Will Score....

Not a mandatory encounter.  Just sayin'.

Only type immune to Frozen is Ice.  Well, unless there's Strong Sunlight.  Then Freeze can't proc, period.  It's worth remembering that.  Fire is just a little harder to Freeze mid-combat because they can thaw themselves immediately at GM discretion (or with the right moves, such as Flame Wheel, they can thaw AND still attack.  Scald can do that too, funnily enough, so it's also kinda hard to freeze water pokemon that know that move.)

...it DOES make sense to inflict as many statuses as possible for capturing it since it is probably going to be a difficult pokemon to capture...but it is also equivalent to kicking an opponent after they've already been downed.  Which isn't going to endear Ventus to almost anybody in Creshire...

...but that's also assuming Kingdra lets up once Chandelure is KOed.  That could throw another wrench into this plan of Ventus's.
