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

[Iron]

By the way, everyone, is it okay if Nathan gets to battle Howl next?  I'd like that to be Nathan's third encounter for the day.

I'd wanted to battle him in the Third Encounter, but if you wish I'll concede it to you. I'll just find something else to do during them, like borrowing a Teleporting to go challenge Tanuki if anyone would allow that. Need to cross that Gym off my to do sheet sooner or later!

You could also challenge Angela.  She's in the area at the moment.  Just gotta ask Nathan about where to find her and why Terra would want to battle her in the first place.

Oh! Well, that be sweet too! I'll definately bring that up after we have our battle during the Second Encounter, mate!

Yes. Pyroar can see how Orthros is part of your pack, and Gallade is like the human equivalent. He'll be comfortable around those two Pokemon and also Rapidash. Also, any Pokemon with 0 Disobedience. But even an Obedient Pokemon who still has an Obedience score will make him nervous and require a roll to obey.

Gotcha! Pyroar was caught!

Yes!  Finally!  It finally paid off!  Whoo hoo!


Just for clarification, though, Iron, when you mentioned the Disobedience roll for Pyroar, does that mean he only rolls for Disobedience when Nathan tries to get him to work with a pokemon with a Disobedience score?  Or will it still be rolled as normal until Pyroar is as Loyal as he is Disobedient?  A pretty important question given that Pyroar are able to learn Hyper Beam for 0 exp, and also because I remember something being said about stopping Pyroar from continuing to attack in a battle after the opponent has been defeated being a potential issue.

-----------------------

Also, slightly off topic, but I only just now noticed that male Pyroar's mane has the Japanese symbol for Fire on it...

In battle he'll have to roll Disobedience based on his 2/3 stats, maybe with a bit of fudging based on how cute his opponent is, but outside of battle he might still disobey if he has to work with scary Pokemon. It will be a bit shaky for him until he fully learns to tolerate other Pokemon.

What about Terra? He's not a Pokemon, but he's pretty much one of the most terrifying beings around even without trying, with only Pokemon with Intimidate or obscenely strong/Disobedient Pokemon beating him out on that front. He also often has a tough and fierce some Pokemon by his side, which may or may not compound the issue of his Intimidation more. Will Pyroar react favorably to my chara, despite that quality of his?

He likes all humans, and Terra is still recognizably human. You might be able to trick him more easily than other humans, though.
