- Nathan shouldn't need to battle her for awhile.  A rematch with Ventus MIGHT be on the agenda since he hasn't properly battled him with all his new tricks and stats yet, but that won't be any time soon.

-Ven will unilaterally refuse any and all battles with you from now until after the campaign, as both does not have an inclination to battle against him for fun/training AND he refuses to go into a fight he believes will be a struggle for him and his Pokémon. Even if things warm up between them, he's still not going fight you . Neither I or Ven feels its a condusive use of our time, is all.

Is Ventus willing to battle Heart by chance?

I do think it'd be more balanced than you might think, but eh.  I don't have plans to raise Nathan's Vit to 4 any time soon, so he's starting to definitely become a glass cannon in that regard, and you won't have to match his speed to take him down.

Conversely, Nathan has his own concerns about how difficult the battle would be for him.  He'd have to bring his A game (ie his most pwerful attackers possible) to overcome that 5 Vitality of Ventus's in a reasonable amount of time, and Michael and Aspis are the two pokemon he'd be the most worried about facing.  I think that says a lot about how the battle could go, no?

Though as far as Heart goes, his stat spread is...similar to Nathan's iirc.  The only main difference is his pokemon aren't as well honed due to not being evolved/as experienced.

Anyways...only really mentioning this because it'd probably be a super high level battle, and I think it'd be interesting to see later on.  Not now.  Goodness, no.  I just think being so adverse to the idea for the entire remainder of the campaign is a bit unhealthy, particularly since we're still a looooonnnng ways from the end.

That's my 2 cents on the matter, you've made your points many, many times already, let's leave it at that.

Yule is switched out for Princess, the female Combee! The only gender of Combee allowed in a Little Cup.

Well, I think that male combee are technically allowed under the official rules due to the species as a whole being considered the same mechanically by the games, even though males can't evolve.

i.e. it's a classic case of 'don't make the coding harder than it needs to be'.

I've been actually honestly thinking about raising Vitality to 4 soon to counter the lacking speed of my chara (that is, before my fluffball evolves and gains Tailwind to take us on a ride!), being the first battle-orientated level-up for a while now. Of course, this will mean Eternally Gold becomes an item Shiva holds on her own instead of giving it to one of her Pokemon to hold, but I like the thought how her own Defense cannot be reduced in any manner, even if she has set 3 Vitality then.

Well, my main objective is raise Fight stat to 3 when got enough XP to have more options in acuracy and have some balance stats. Them I perhaps focus in raise STR to have extra damage power.

You could also invest in Crafts if you desire to take the role as our cooker, as cooking and baking are crafts too. Shiva is more engaging in artisan craftwork including plushies, so it wouldn't be the same. Or take Earthpower as a new Speciality, I remember you were interested in that?

Oh yeah. There Earthpower too as a speciality. Perhaps I will take Craft and Earthpower to speciality. But for now I need some extra dices to better acuracy. @Iron I want Heart have Earthpower as a speciality. I can?

Yes, since he hasn't had any bad experience with him up to this point! He would even go easy on you and not be a dick with Sleep/Encore, though he'd still try to win obviously.
