[Game Thread] Pokerole: Mount Coronet Mystery

[Dragonstrike]

Spoiler

(Strange way to do trades, but not a bad by any means. This sorta degrades the value of Wealth in favor of challenge/competency, but again, that's not a bad thing either)

Ran deadpans at the reveal that Vicky had a Gligar she was willing to invest that Razor Fang into, sparing her none of his reaction this time.

".....Then why did ya bring it up in the first place, lass? Got my hopes up, and then sent them crashing like like the Hindenburg, that you did. *Shakes head* No, I'm not interested in a Gligar or Gliscor. If I had a Toxic Orb and it had its Hidden Ability, maybe I would, but I don't have to former and don't know if your bat has the later, so its a bum deal for me either way."

He looks thoughtful as she proposed the counter offer, before simply asking ".....What would you be interested in? I've already told ya what I'm willing to give away, so if it ain't any of that, then we're both out of luck. Willing to fight ya regardless, though. Need to train my partners like you, if I don't want them and me ending up pulped by the critters in the Temple or on the job."

(Wealth still has a place, though.  A (6) for rarity and a (1) for difficulty would be the opposite end of the spectrum, after all)

"...you asked if I had one, didn't you?  And no, he doesn't have his Hidden Ability.  I'm not THAT lucky, unfortunately.  Don't have many pokemon with unusual Abilities in the first place.  Gliscor's still a pretty solid pokemon without it, though."

Vicky thinks for a moment before responding with what she's like Randolph to wager.

"...that Avalanche TM you mentioned sounds miiigggghty useful, thinking about it.  Think I might have a pokemon or two that are able to learn it.  How 'bout a quick 2v2 doubles to decide this?  No items besides what our pokemon have, obviously.  Want to keep things fair, after all."
