[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Lord Windos]

Spoiler

Dragalge sells right away for that price.

Vileplume are mostly UNpopular here in the land of the Sunstone, but a few people do want them as novelties. So it was harder to find a trader, but the price went up. You can get $2500 each.

Elanor is a good town for finding a Pokedoll collector. There's a poster on the Pokemon Center's bulletin board asking if anyone wants to trade Pokedolls - just come see Pokemaniac Stevedore in the town square anytime from 10 to 2.


XP moves can be tutored by these guys.


Lapis and Mawile can't learn Frost Breath since they have tiny delicate mouths, but the rest can.



Sid teaches Ice Shard to Primal Glaceon by having it skate around trying to hit him on the move.


The newborn Fairies will accept marshmallows if their momma looks like it's OK.

Foreman Fortescue is a bald, intimidating man in his own right. He doesn't look too impressed with Cottonee and Gloom "...though, being Grass types, yeah that's good..."

He's a lot more impressed with Primal Glaceon, who looks like he could handle darn near anything. Bulky, fluffy, and with giant snowshoe paws... yeah that's perfect in his opinion.

"Alright. Here's the deal, take it or leave it. If you find a Sunstone, you keep it and that's your payment, plus you get a lunchpail meal made by Cookie. Otherwise you get paid $2500. If anyone on your watch gets hurt, you're fired. You need to bring six Pokemon with you. Just wipe out any Pokemon that looks the least bit aggressive.  Don't beat around the bush. Here's your mining helmet, which you can keep, and a Potion."

You hop into a strange little buggy and rumble down the ramp into the pit mine with a group of six miners. You stop and they lead you into a side tunnel.

"Need someone to wipe out this stupid Sudowoodo that's blocking the path. The thing loves Sunstones even though he's not a real Grass-type. Get him, Shiva!"

The miners like Shiva more than the sullen Terra, even though Terra is more akin to them in personality.


The battlefield glitters with shiny ore! Everywhere you look, shinies.

Hm....the Vileplume's price are not high as I expected them too, but I'll still sell them all! Terra makes a total of $19500 Poke from selling Pokemon, cha-ching!

Sweet! Guess Anubi learns Extreme Speed too! Now he too can reach LUDICROUS SPEEDS like Nathan's Pokemon!

Ah drat, I was hoping that a pair could learn FB, but oh well. At least that saves me some Poke! In that case, I'll teach Melly, Edmundi, Posei, and Seismitoad FB for a total of $7000 Poke then! Pricey, but now all his partners that needed coverage have it now, which is especially good for the Electric Fenrir and the swamp toad! 

(...)

Dense as he could be, Terra could easily tell when a person had a less than favorable opinion of another (Mostly from ample experience on being the receiving end of said looks), and steps forward by Shiva's side with a stern frown on his face, summoning his Shiny Diggersby and crossing his arms. He doesn't say anything to the man, but the messages he's sending should be clear: Don't underestimate his friend, and if Shiva and her Pokemon are not tough enough in his opinion, then he and his own will more than make up for it.

(No Intimidation is being made, just want to comment on it is all!)

Regarding the deal itself, that gets a simple nod from him, followed by a quick question: "If we find anything other than Sun Stone, what do we do with it? Keep it, or give it up?" Afterwards, he quickly pockets the Potion, and puts the miner's hat on after a little difficulty. He was not used to wearing headgear, but if the foreman was giving it to them, it must be a good idea to put it on.

In the mines proper and up against Sudowoodo, he simply motions for his lucky lagomorph to go forth and conquer, to which they happily comply, spring forward to confront the false plant while making boxing motions with their ears! Time to undermine this fellow! 

(Ready to begin when you are!)
