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

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

Nathan sighs quietly to himself and heads inside to go find a seat. Nothing more he an really contribute to this little scene as far as he can see, so he might as well just keep on goin'...

Oh. I wanted to introduce Gothitelle to you too, but I guess that's okay then as well. She'll be out of her painted Ball whenever it's safe for her to be, so there's enough time and opportunity for that shall I see fit. *shrugs*

So, I just did a little reading on Telekinesis on Bulbapedia. It has some...weird quirks on top of the ground/grounded effect immunity and always getting hit by all moves targeting you.

The effects of this move are nullified if the effects of Gravity, Smack Down, or Thousand Arrows become active. If a pokemon under Telekinesis's effects becomes grounded due to using Ingrain or obtaining an Iron Ball, they only become grounded and are still always hit by moves targeting them. If any of the above moves or items are already in effect when Telekinesis is used, it fails.

OHKO moves are unaffected by Telekinesis's accuracy check bypass.

Mega Gengar, Diglett, Dugtrio, Sandyghast, Palossand, Grozard, and Terlard (but not a Pokemon that's Transformed into them) are all immune to being levitated due to this move due to being rooted to the ground at all times. If the effects of this move are Baton Passed to a Mega Gengar (and only Mega Gengar), they are nullified immediately. (Strangely, none of them are immune to receiving/using the effects of Magnet Rise and Air Balloon, though)

(These are copied straight from the notes I wrote down in my character sheet for Nathan, btw)

Gotta love the intricacies of the moves in the games, right?

K, from my side Shiva can actually face Dagny now, @Iron. But I won't respond to it today anymore due to snoozing.

He (Charmeleon) remembers Shiva, but he'll put that aside for the chance to see Dagny fall.

This doesn't sound like he remembers me in good terms, lolz.

Well, Shiva and Ventus did utterly humiliate him by crippling his best means of fighting back against a foe as tough as the Steel Wonder herself, so...

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

Oh? I didn't got the feeling of humiliating him there however, I wanted to show him that pure firepower at full force is not always the right choice. If he took that as humiliation, it's not mutual at least in Shiva's case. She doesn't like him much, subtly scared maybe, meeting him with respect for sure.

Which you did.  He doesn't like losing without being able to put up a fight, though, which is why he took learning that lesson so hard.  Getting utterly creamed is a rather sore spot for him.

Ven wanted to discipline them and instill some humility and respect for superior power in them, and he accomplished that mission rather handily. To him, he was just doing his job and duty, and didn't/doesn't have any negativity directed towards them. In fact, he's quite glad with their progress and them being on Nathan's team, since he knows that they'll more or less be treated and trained right by them, even if he doesn't see eye to eye often with him (Nathan).

It worked well to tame him, but he just didn't enjoy it.

Then it's his loss, plain and simple. *shrugs*
