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

[Dragonstrike]

For clarification, guys, I'm only really asking because Gallade's similar to Ash's Pikachu in some ways.  Gallade doesn't like being in his pokeball/the PC for long periods of time unless he absolutely has to be (and this tournament lasts all day).  I can count the number of times he's been put in the PC or his Pokeball for more than a moment (not including whenever he's been KOed) on one hand each.

I'll understand if Iron doesn't allow it since it's basically a Pandora's Box situation, and allowing it if he has something planned means things might be a little easier than originally intended due to technically having 7 (or more) pokemon on hand.  However, I wanted to ask because I have some very good in character reasons to do so (at least, I think they're good IC reasons...)
