[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Lord Windos]

Spoiler

Your journey concludes while watching the legendary sunsets of Elanor Town, the last part of Creshire to see the sinking sun. Their legends say it retires each night to the mines, where it leaves some of its light underground for us to find.

It's pretty late when you reach Elanor after that Encounter. Though the sky is dark, you can see lots of stars... and one bright comet, bright as the moon.

The residents of Elanor have each taken tiny shards of Petalglass and other elemental glasses and secured them over their doorways, so the town glitters even at night. The Pokemon Center is decorated with a mosaic of Fireglass, and the little PokeMart is decorated with seaglass. The center of the PokeMart Pokeball symbol, though, is a radiant Sunstone.


It is now Day 77

Elanor is a quaint little town, with its own distinct architectural style. There are lots of gables and turrets and terraces, windows that open wide and rooftops lined with gardens. The little yellow flowers grow in each rich green yard, and all motor vehicles are required to detour north of Elanor (where the mines are).

Sunstones are available for purchase here!!! They cost $3000.
Sunny Day TM is available for $2000, and Solar Beam is $3500.
There are also Move Tutors available!

You can also tour the mines, which are always hiring. There's also a tiny Pokeball factory, served by all the MSC around here. Both are hidden behind a screen of dense trees and bushes, blocking the noise and visuals.

Battles aren't super common here, and most trainers are very practical. They don't go in for the sport much, but the mines and the wilderness require a certain amount of protection.


Dagny texts to say the permit will be ready tomorrow. She'll send it to Nathan's PC.

Just as everyone enters the Pokemon Center and books rooms for the night, Terra walks over to Shiva and clasps them on the shoulder with a firm and serious expression.

"Time for us to talk, Shiva. In your room, mine, or some place private."

Haven't forgotten about that conversation that's supposed to happen, nope! It'll be conducted via PM from here on, though, so no worries about it clogging up the Game Thread and wasting time!

*On the Morn of Day 77*

After getting up bright and early and doing his morning workout routine, followed with a shower, the mountain of a man set about to getting his day started!:

- First, he puts his Dragalge for sale for $12000 Poke, as you said its value would be outside of Tezeal Valley! Link: https://pokemonuranium.co/forum/showthre...e#pid57993
- Puts his three remaining Vileplume up for sale, preferably for Poke! Since they're flowers, they should be somewhat popular in Elanor, even if they smell!
- Purchase a Super Potion and Max Potion for $3100 Poke! Got to keep my medical supplies topped off!
- Explore Elanor a little bit, and see if he can learn anything about town itself, as well as the Gym. See if he can find a collector of rare Pokedolls too, since he's still hanging onto the Monkey ones he got!

Once that is done....

Fire Breather Bel can teach these moves to any Pokemon with a proper mouth and jaw:
-Dragonbreath, $1500
-Ember, free
-Frost Breath, $1750

Howl's Apprentice can tutor these moves to eligible Pokemon if it's on their ? or level up movelists, including if it's on the movelist of pre-evolutions.
-Foul Play, $1500
-Barrier, $1750
-Role Play, free

And Sid is here, skating around town! He can teach these moves to eligible Pokemon:
-Aqua Jet, free
-Bullet Punch, free
-Extreme Speed, free
-Ice Shard, free
-Vacuum Wave, free
-Can change a Flying Type's ability to Gale Wings if you beat him in a 1v1 battle

Remember these use the Core Book and not Bulbapedia.

.....He heads off to the Move Tutors he's heard about, as the opportunity to teach his partners techniques they normally couldn't learn was too good to pass up!

First things first, he goes to Sid and gets Shiranui and Anubi taught Bullet Punch and Vacuum Wave, respectively. Now they both have STAB Priority Moves now (Well, pseudo, in the sumo wrestler's case)! Could Anubi also learn Extreme Speed from him, since its a Move on his Level Up list in the Corebook, or is that a Move he has to put XP into to learn?

Concerning Firebreather Bel, could Lapis Lazuli, Melly the Manetric, Angie, Genie, Pixie the Mawile, Edmundi the Bastiodon, Posei the Politoad, and Seismitoad learn Frost Breath? Not saying I would teach them all the Move right now - Mainly, I want Lapis, Melly, Pixie, and Edmundi to learn it now, if possible - but it would be nice to know for future reference!

But before that Shiva goes and finds Terra, wherever the mountain of a man currently dwells. She has Gloom, Cottonee and also Flabebe and Minicorn by her side, visible for everyone actually, and a hot coffee-to-go in her hand, and she seems uncommonly over-excited. "Terrrraaaaa, good morning! I, ehm, hope you've slept well. Look, the Eggs given to me by Noble Arcanine have hatched!!! And this town is so beautiful ♡, what is your first impression? All the flowers, the sunset, the.... oh." She instantly blushes a bit and looks away at the super-interesting floor. "I'm sorry, I, ehm, ...got distracted. Hehe... Ah, what I wanted to say or rather ask, could you, would you...maybe accompany me to the Sunstone Mines, please? Like, now, in a few minutes? I've been told this place provides some threaths you better take seriously, and rare and strong Pokemon dwell there. I just feel better if you as a strong fighter and natural surviver comes along, you see...?


--------------------
(I am ready to get started on that together, @Lord Windos [another tagg, sorry for that]. Unless under those circumstances you rather would like to not come along? That'd be okay if you'd explain to me why, as we actually already agreed on that and I looked forward to do that with you. Oh, and it's perfectly fine to me if you'd like to trade/sell some of your caught Pokemon first, I'm in no hurry. Take your time to start your chara's day properly.)

(I'll edit my Quickpage to the party Shiva will bring along to the mines after Windos' input.)

Once he's worked his way through town, he return to the Pokemon Center to grab himself some breakfast for himself and his Pokemon. Shiva would find him with Shiranui and Anubi at a table in the Lobby, all of them eating a bowl of oatmeal with various fruits and spice mixed in it. The sumo wrestler is the first one to notice her approach, what with his Fighting instincts and finely honed senses picking up the cadre of Fairies clinging to her side (Though he appears wholely unbothered by that), and nudges his partner to get their attention and point at her. This prompts the mountain of a man to faintly smile and nod to her as she approached, appearing rather chipper for a man stoic as he typically is. Guess whatever he discussed with Shiva last night didn't sour things between him and her....or at least on his end!

"Good morning, Shiva. Slept good. Elanor is a nice. Nature and......civilization in.......balance here. Unique, and special. Both come together well here. Flowers are very pretty too. *At the mention of Arcanine's Egg's Hatching* Hm? These are the hatchlings? Hm......*Smiles* look cute, and very happy to be with you. Know you will take good care of them, *Nods*"

He then pulls out some marshmallows and offers them to all of the Fairy lady's Pokemon, as that was the friendly thing to be done! However, given that Terra now is in part Steel due to Jirachi's blessing (and Anubi is out by his side, looking at his former Evo's Type Bane with faint speculation) and he looks about as cuddly and approachable as a drunk and angry Sharpedo (All that raw Intimidation can be a double edge sword, don't-cha know!), would the fae creatures and noxious Gloom even want to get near him, let alone accepts his treats?

When the mystical lass ask for his aid in spelunking the local Sun Stone Mines, in an instant the sagely monk straightens up and give a decisive nod of his head, his expression just plain serious.

"Understood. Will be there for you, and keep you safe. Promised to do that.....and because I want to help you, so I will. That is that. Need to change party first, though."

Saying that, Terra walks over to the PC and changes his party up to the following line up: Yogi the Medicham, Lapis Lazuil, Genie, Shiny Diggersby, Posei, and Melly. He wants to let most of the partner he pitted against Primal Lurantis to take it easy for now, as fighting a Legend is a rather grueling experience as it turns out! Not having Angie to help dig with....well, Dig was regrettable, but between his lucky lagomorph, mischievous dragoness (Who'd he have to keep extra careful watch on, with Shiva around....), his Psychic Fighter, and all his ROCK SMASHERS (for emergencies or when he and Shiva are in private), excavating the cave would be no trouble. Besides, its not likely his gargantuan Dragon and everyone else could squeeze into the mines without her keeping below ground, anyway. Having Lapis in operate in there comfortably alone would be worrisome enough too, so no need to compound that any!

That done, he's ready to head over to the mines and getting a prospecting! Let our charas strike it rich, or at least not bury themselves alive!
