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

[Dragonstrike]

Yeah, Nathan's not gonna just be all buddy buddy with Ventus and Nathan. Gonna have to earn it first.

@Iron is it Mt. Molten or Ember? That's the second time you've said Mt. Ember, but it's Molten on the map you provided as of right now (also, Mt. Ember is the name of a mountain in the Mystery Dungeon series, so I'd personally prefer Molten over Ember)

I'm not gonna do crappy moves again lol

Herp derp, it's Mt Molten of course. I was playing FireRed a month or two ago.

Larry:
Vincent doesn't know Larry is there. Larry's not actually spoken to him in character or informed him he's getting involved so barging in unannounced into a 1-on-1 is going to tick him Vincent off something fierce in-character.

That said, I've been waiting for an opportunity to take a crack at this encounter since page three, a week ago, so I'd appreciate if you didn't make a capture bid.

Oh my, you people surely take your time to return to the Center... Not blaming, but it's just that she's waiting for you there, she actually doesn't mind taking care of the now healed Pokemon and have them enjoy a little time outside their Pokeballs.
Though, @Dragonstrike, since Ven seems to know quite a thing about Psychic Types (wonderfully written, Windos~), it would be an idea to have him join Ralts' Confusion-Training session?

Well, Ventus wanted to talk, so he got one, and at one of the most secluded spots in Trillium Town to boot (with a unique chance to try and question him about that spot. If not now though, maybe later).  Not sure if it turned out the way he expected it to though.  And yeah, Nathan sees the sense in him joining the training session, for more than one reason.  

And let me second that compliment on how well written that explanation on how to train psychic types was.  Now, imagine how hard it must be to train a Ralts normally, considering it's also part fairy...

@PhantomUnderYourDesk Is Shiva at all curious about that premier ball?  It's quite dull looking, after all.  This would be a good time for her to examine it, particularly seeing as she's likely the only one who's even had a good chance to even notice it in the first place.  I've been doing a lot of character development for Nathan this round of encounters, and that pokeball's a part of it.

"Curious" might be the wrong idea to describe it... She noticed the special ball as he withdrew Ralts into it after they've finished battle with Joy. And given they're used to commemorate an event of some sort, she assumes Ralts is quite important to him. However, she won't ask questions about this just now, since they're literally at the beginning of journey.

Ventus got what he desired out of the private meeting: a chance to bond and get to know Nathan a bit better. He opened up about some of his problems to get a better read on the boy, taking his advice into consideration, before letting him dominate the upcoming conversations, answering his question in a way to come off as a well learn, well mannered, and perfectly sincere type of guy. He geniuely wants to be friend with him and help him out with his problems (For he knows Nathan has problems, no matter how well hidden they are), but he figures the only way to get past that icy front is just to gradually thaw it out with repeated interactions. Ventus is a people person, after all, so he wants to be buddies with just about everyone.

And yes, from Ventus' knowledge, its even harder for Nathan to train a Fairy/Psychic type. You'll have to have him ask more details about that, as Ven didn't think of the fact that Ralts was Psychic and Fairy.

Ok adding an auspicious Pokemon like the scarred Absol is too much. Please clear major plot-related things with me first; I would rather run them myself.

Can you please edit your posts? I already had plans for Absol-related content.

In Pokerole, all Pokemon are under GM control, even your own partners. I'm perfectly fine with you guys adding your own little roleplaying interactions with them like telling us how they feel, how they react, what cute things they do. But you cannot say things like "My Pokemon appears out of nowhere to save me" or whatever - that will be up to the GM.

Adding little bits of lore and harmless little knowledges - all fine. Anything that could conceivably be a threat, obstacle, or of plot-import - that is my jurisdiction; send me a PM about including it.
