[Game Thread] Pokerole: Mount Coronet Mystery

[Dragonstrike]

Spoiler

Kee can only laugh about Missy's confusion. Octavia carefully smiles to mirrow the joy, she relaxes a little as that big mean-looking lizard there stops glaring at her and her beloved Master, but she still doesn't dare to come out of her hide (which is behind Kee). "Yes, I know all that rather well. I've spent some years working for a Gym Leader specializing in poisonous Pokemon, so it'd be a shame if I wouldn't....~~"

He pauses here, comfortably crosses his arms, and overall looks pensive and musing. Even dares to make short eye-contact with Salazzle, can't help but to gift her a smile over the realization that he caught her interest. "Certainly the male exemplars of Salandit are somewhat at disadvatage, but that's mostly because they are lured and...intoxicated by the pheromones the rarer female exemplars emit additionally to that sweet but poisonous gas that the males are emitting just as well. This is what literally breaks their will and makes them a... bad tongues would call it a 'slave' to the females, who enjoy their dominance. There's none yet who has actually tried raising a male exemplar without exposing it to the female's pheromones... At least, not that I know of, which would make me the first person to do that. Maybe.... Maybe the male lizard will appreciate the care it's given as well. ...Right?~"

(Let me phrase things differently: How much is a female Salandit then? Kee's got those 5.000$Poke he's willing to part with. This will result in no bought Dusk Stone for Draven, but that's okay since his evolution isn't going to happen soon. Alternatively, does Missy have any male exemplars that sport any Suprises (statwise, moves, anything)? He'd pay for those accordingly if desired. Because if I'm going to get an unplanned male Salandit for Kee, I want the best I can get for him obviously.)

"Most pokemon appreciate having a companion that cares for them.  At least, that's been my general experience in raising them.  Can't say I've heard of anyone intentionally raising a Male Salandit knowing full well it probably won't evolve, though.  Kinda hard to find trainers who would want to."

Missy's prices for the pokemon she's trading:
- A female Salandit with no surprises would cost $2000.
- A male with no surprises is free.
- A male with at least one surprise will cost an amount relative to the kind of surprise you want (Missy has lots of males, so you can basically choose which surprise they get).  Price range will generally be $1000-3000 for a single surprise, but it could vary if the surprise is particularly strong.
- All of the Salandit she's trading come with the egg moves Fake Out and Knock Off.
