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

Don't worry, I'll be typing up Kirlia and Calams' further reactions to the rest of the party in a few minutes, Spirit.

Ah, nevermind, your decision to follow Shiva - dunno whether Heart heard it when she said she'd like to be left alone, but she certainly would not chase Heart away from her - or continue dealing with Nathan. No worries, hope it was only your car and not yourself that were hit.

Also, while Shiva gladly accepted to sleep over in Ven's dorm in the Center, she doesn't want to see Nathan again until the next morning. She expects honest words of apology.

How Nathan going to react since he is down? Also, he undestand after everything, Shiva not want company, including a complete strange like Heart. He is kinda a sentimental person. Lets just say he can "feel" the emotions from other persons. He is dont called Heart without a reason.

Also thank you for the concern Phantom. It was not too much, just the water pump who was broken inside the car and some other pieces who was need change. It been almost a year and half since I make the last check up in the car with a mecanic. Things was...complicated when I receive my first car.

IIRC, I didn't design any gym leaders who REQUIRE a double/teamwork battle. Those often felt unfair in the games.

Well, the only double battle Gym Leaders in the main series are Tate and Liza in the Hoenn games (using only Solrock and Lunatone in R/S/OR/AS, where they're a complete joke aside from a level spike, and 2 pokemon each in Emerald, where they're actually somewhat challenging on top of the level spike) and the rest of the Hoenn Gym Leaders in their Emerald rematches (each with a full team of 6 and even a little strategy at max difficulty).

Apart from the main games, there's also every single battle in Colosseum and most of XD (and those boss fights can be tough as nails if you're not ready for their strategies.  Everything from EQ spam, status spam, weather abuse, Skill Swapping Truant off of Slaking...those games really bring the pain and variety)

Of course, those still aren't nearly as hardcore as double battles in some fan games/rom hacks, where those powerful doubles strats tend to really be abused...

Also, while Shiva gladly accepted to sleep over in Ven's dorm in the Center, she doesn't want to see Nathan again until the next morning. She expects honest words of apology.

Nathan is completely out until at least tomorrow morning anyways, so no need to worry about him looking for Shiva before then.

Nathan is down and out.  Completely.  Not much reacting he can do.

Wait. Its just me, Nathan and Kirlia who teleport who was Ventus too. I would prefer to stick there without the teleport. Dont like to be alone with Nathan since he still dont like much. Also, I think its kinda....unatural. I would prefer to wait Windos post before the teleport if you dont mind. Also its anticlimatic, so just make a post about what is Nathan feeling without the teleport.

Nathan's got 0 say in the matter since he's 100% out cold.  And his pokemon aren't stopping Ventus and Heart from helping them with getting him to the Center.

And Teleport won't work well because:

1. Kirlia just got out of a VERY stressful battle that required a lot of his focus and power, even if he didn't get harmed very much at all in it.  He's rather tired from it all, and trying to do something like Teleport while tired could lead to bad things happening.

2. Teleport only works on the user, one other being, and everything the both of them are holding.  Even if Kirlia were to Teleport, that'd leave Starmie and Calam behind since Nathan can't recall them currently. They could potentially make their way back to the Center on their own, but that has its own set of issues attached which could cause more harm than good.

3. And Teleport also can't go past walls and other obstacles that completely enclose a space.  The best Teleport would do would be to bring Nathan and Kirlia to just outside the Center's front doors.  Not too much of an issue for the most part since Nurse Joy could then help bring Nathan inside once Kirlia got her attention, but this is a very notable limitation on how the move works.

Damn. That will complicated things I guess. So guys I heading to the bed now. See you all tomorrow!

So... With Nathan 'completely out until at least tomomorrow morning', it feels at stake whether we'll be able to depart to Stair City the next day then. Oh well. Maybe during that day's afternoon?

Enjoy road trip, Iron!

Whoahw... These seem to be some sort of witches Shiva encountered there. Though, I hope I'll get through Lampent, as creating Sunny Weather will also benefit this spectral being...
