[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Iron]

Spoiler

Round is also a popular/high demand TM, so that would count as a common TM.


There is a non-Almanac Fast Incubator for $2,250. It can only hold one Egg at a time, but it can be reused indefinitely once its Egg hatches. This Incubator doesn't have side effects.

(Oh, and it doesn't have an effect on the speed of a Legendary Pokemon's hatching).

(1750+2250 = 4000. Yeah, I have enough money for both the Fast Incubator and the License. Gonna buy the Non-Almanac Incubator and the License after I make the exam of Breeder)

Any Nurse Joy can help you out, and Spira and Shiva are both qualified to give you bonus dice on your exam.

That Lisence isn't something one can just buy, that would be too easy and would offend every Professional Breeder. :C You need to pay that fee of 1750$ and pass an exam about the field of Pokemon Breeding. Shiva passed it with an almost perfect score, maybe if you like she could help out Heart on studying for it or such?

And there is that too? Okay then. Heart approach Shiva and talk with her. "So Shiva, I need some help. I trying to get a license to carry Beldum and the other Egg without have to sacrifice a member of my party. Could you tell me how I can get a Licence?"

Eeeekkkkk! Shiva's somewhat startled by Heart coming to the table she's at and adressing her so directly as she was just lost in reading a dark-fantasy novel. Purrloin just keeps rolling around on the table as if nothing has happened, way too concentrated on that gift Master has bought her in Violet Tent!~ Nightshade curiously watches from Shiva's shoulder how the black cat playfully tears a bird made from Berries apart with her claws.

She needs a moment to gather her mind, then answers to the PUNisher. "Eh, sure.... Lisence? O... Oh, you likely mean THAT one!" Rummaging in her belongings a bit, she shows Heart her own Breeder's Lisence, holographic and with her picture and everything, but she cleverly covers her last name with one finger. From how she smiles in silent pride, she seems to value this Lisence a lot.

She kindly explains Heart everything about it, from the fee over the meaning and benefits to the mandatory exam. "I can, maybe, if you like... help you out on studying a bit for that one? Some things they test are pretty tricky or in-depth, but naturally they don't want to give out such a Lisence like candy." Shiva seems delighted to be able to pass on the basic things of what her father has taught her, it takes minimum an hour. She's patient and doesn't mind repeating things until Heart has gotten it, reviewing things like that grants Shiva her finally 3rd point in Science 1 Speciality (-12 chara XP). I'll max it out, you'll see!

If Heart goes off to take the exam right away then, she'll wish him good luck, passes the time by continuing with reading and asks how it was afterwards. That'll be all then hopefully, onwards with Encounters please if everything's settled.

Heart was listening and writing in his notes all piece of information Shiva was saying, a few times asking to repeat a certain information and at the same time taking care to understand everything. Natu and Patrat was both obisiously out of their pokeballs, with Natu in the top of Heart head looking at his masters writing and friend (its a amusing sight to see) and Patrat was also exploring a bit the pokemon center, but never leaving the sight of Heart. After a hour he finish the study. "I think I ready. Wish me luck Shiva! Time to go ahead to get that license!"

Action: Begin the exam first and see if I can pass though it before buying the Fast Incubator. Lets see If I can surpass it.

3 Knowledge + 1 Delta + 2 study

(4)(6)(1)(5)(4)(1) Heart gets lucky with some questions about unusual breeding situations, including Deltas. He also does great on some practical questions since he's been carrying a difficult Beldum Egg. There's a spot of bad luck where Heart took a question a little too literally and got it wrong, things like that. But definitely a passing grade and more than the minimum. 

Heart obtained a Breeder's License! (after paying the fee).
