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

[Dragonstrike]

In short: Ven would agree to take care of Grid however Nathan liked, and only that way, but in no way would he stop offering/bringing up the topic of hunting after the expedition is said and done.

Why is he defensive about Ditto? I mean, yeah they are valuable, but Ven ain't no thief and would promise to not do anything Nathan doesn't want Ditto doing (just like with Grid), and unlike Nathan he would just sorta roll with the random Transformations, considering it a quirk of Cheshire born Dittos. However, if you have plans with the metamorph, don't let me or Ven interupt then!

If you end up giving Yule to Ven, then he's going to probably try training them and get them to learn Milk Drink at some point if its possible. Another source of food AND healing is always appreciated!

Yule: He has 7 exp accumulated so far, and Milk Drink costs 50 (58 after evolving).  That'd take a little while.  It IS potentially the first move I'd want him to learn, though.  Skiddo and Gogoat have a lot of useful Grass moves I'd want to learn afterwards.  And Bulk Up.  And Earthquake.  And maybe Double Edge (since it's literally Gogoat's strongest naturally learned attack [tied with Superpower] if it doesn't have at least a +1 boost to its 3 Power Grass STAB or EQ).  And if we're feeling REALLY ambitious: Grassy Terrain (it's an egg move for Skiddo as of USUM) comboed with Grass Pelt (its HA that had very little practical use before USUM gave it Grassy Terrain.  The combo doesn't go very well with EQ and Bulldoze, though)

Ditto: Partially because of said quirk (which can be...disruptive, to say the least.  Ditto can only Transform into 3 pokemon per day, and the random Transformation immediately takes up one of those slots at the start of the day when it occurs).  Partially because of other reasons.

Grid:  I'm not going to bother actually RPing that for the sake of expedience, but you better take good care of Grid!  I'll assume Ventus was present at the 'Ditto/loaner pokemon' meeting, and it was all taken care of then.  Post incoming.
