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

Is Heart going to battle Dagny, @Spiritmon?  If so, when?  Day 48, 49, or 50?

[Spiritmon]

Problably 48. Perhaps. I was thinking battle after the others. To see what Dagny is capable of.

I pretty sure that Delta Bulbasaur Shiva would pretty much fall in love because of the typing, heh.

If she wouldn't have that dislike for Delta Pokemon, that'd be very true, lolz. Female Delta Bulbasaur is so cute!


Also, Windos, you want Shiva deal with that disobediant Charmeleon alone? Eeeeek! But alright, I've came up with an idea, let's whether it'll turn out fruitful and helpful.

Well, that would mean Nathan's probably going to be going first, then.  Then Heart later in the day, followed by Ventus the next day, then Shiva the next.

Ah... I've been already wondering why there are two Training Rolls for the same Pokemon (Kirlia) so quickly after the other. Hmm, my own training is in most cases a calm training that is either disguised as playing or otherwise no direct 'let us train your moves/for doing well in battle', so I could practically speaking mix them in everywhere... But I'm staying with the thought that they take an Encounter instead. 

I was kinda wondering too, but if that's the result of filling a whole page, cool.  In-game explanation: Kirlia's probably just gotten REALLY good at meditating, since that's what almost all of his training sessions have been based around since he started learning Calm Mind in Corsage.

Well, the benefits of training require an encounter anyways.  Nathan plays with his pokemon too (usually 'off screen'), but those moments are purely for fun for the most part, while the training sessions are more focused/involved.

It's more that Kirlia was gonna get one next good session, and then there were three in a row so I thought it'd be fun to have two of them count. Usually a roll comes every three or four. Sometimes two if the descriptions are favorable.

[Iron]

Yeah Dagny can do two battles in a day if they are far apart. She'll just use different Pokemon.

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

Yeah, this battle needs to be very tightly controlled for Ao's disobedience. It will not end well if you don't pay especial attention to that. It's probably a Very Bad Idea in general.

It's been Windos' idea, but I liked that idea as it gives him a chance to try that Kingdra out against foes that shrug off his Dragon- and Water-Type attacks as well as me a chance to play dragonslayer again and have Marill try out her new moves, it'd actually be Ventus' task to take care that his new Kingdra does not go berserk. Hmm, what to do... I'll leave it to @Lord Windos to decide/to have the final word on this, I could easily do somethingelse with the remaining free time after having worked at the Shelter. Maybe not a battle though since everyonelse than us two have somewhat finished their in-game Day already, but heading to the Department Store then combined with Training Session along the way would be it.

Or calling Prof. Mallorn concerning Skrelp.

Or both.

Before I make any final calls on whether or not I want to continue with the 2V1 Kingdra battle, I want to know exactly why you consider it a Very Bad Idea @Iron. In my opinion, the battle plan I've laid out has the bare minimum risk/DANGER! present in it, for the following reasons: Ao Guang knows NO Lethal Moves, can't use Dragon type ones (His most powerful moves), can fight in a dry eviron. to prevent Swift Swim from triggering/powering up Brine or Bubble, and Both Cottenee and Marill take - 1 Damage from ANY attack besides Strike or Knockdown, which are absolutely pitful in most circumstances, and has to divide his attention between two Fairies types that can A) Tag Team him B) SE or Freeze him , C) Heal off the damage (Cottenee) , or D) Majorly amp up their attacks on it (Helping Hand from Marill. In short, the Dragon King of the Eastern Sea is fighting a steeeeep battle here, with only Ven's massive Vitality and maybe Dragon Dance to give him an edge against Shiva's Fairies. Worst comes to worst and Ao Guang manages to KO them and decides he still wants to attack them, and he gets Pokeballed immediately and a scolding later on.

If you can see ways it can go wrong, please by all means tell me Iron. I don't want to accidently Shiva or her Pokémon, you know? Any opinions on this topic would also be nice to here from everyone else!

[Dragonstrike]

Hmmm...

...well, here's one potential reason why it could be a bad idea: Ao doesn't necessarily have to attack Shiva's fairies if he gets...temperamental.

And since he'd be in a battle that he would probably know he wouldn't win, well...if he was forced to do it anyways, that could end...badly. Though I doubt Ventus would force Ao into something like that if he didn't want to participate, right?

Anyways...yeah, intentionally putting certain Disobedient pokemon into difficult situations like that isn't exactly...safe.

[Lord Windos]

Also, @Iron , was Empathy added to Shiva's Roll against Charmeleon? Since she, Nathan, Ventus has a point in it, and that specialty seems especially relevant when it comes to communicating/negotiating with Pokémon/People , and that she's only 1 Success away from getting the darn fire breathing lizard to listen/not misbehave, why not add it in and see if it changes things? The worst that can happen is nothing happens at all, so....
