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

[Spiritmon]

Spoiler

It gives +1 Loyalty after 2 days of training.  No disobedience reductions involved.  Just went and checked what the benefit Nidorino got was.

There is always the option for Ventus to purchase his metal coat for Scyther, and Heart can just purchase his for Delta Onix later and trade evolve it when it has enough happiness and loyalty to be fine with the tradeback evolution.

Okay, but I still want that Metal Coat on Scyther, as Delta Onix is worth at LEAST that much if also the Poke to cover the cost of taking it to camp (though I'm not going to add as that part of the deal, since I'm not THAT stingy), and Heart can always buy a Steel Coat for himself later once he's bonded with it more/take it camping. @Spiritmon, is that okay with you?

No problemo. But we should keep Onix in his currently form for both not raise his level of Disobedience from 3 to 4 and for me get the chance to get the move Sky Drop.

Welp, Ven's got a Delta Onix now, and he did so without much difficulty at all! Now that is what I call a come back! How much XP does Ven and Apsis get for it? 1 for both of us, since we creamed it without much trouble?

Also, @Spiritmon I have another idea. Since both our Pokémon are going to be onery as all get out when regardless of their evo, how about we first take Scyther and Onix to the Disobenance Training Camp (They both have 3 Disobedience, which is the cut off point), and lower their Disobedience before we trade them? That way Scizors only has 1 Disobedience and Delta Steelix has 3, so we both would stand to benefit from this!

I only have enough muns to cover my Steel Coat, though, so you would either have to cover the cost of both Pokémon yourself, or only Delta Steelix if you just want to save costs.

Oh, and how much does camping cost again in time and Poke?

4 for Apsis, 2 for Ven. 

Trading a Pokemon decreases its Loyalty, so keep that in mind. Easy enough to work around. The camp is 2 days and I think 1800 Poke.

Completely off topic, but...wow.  This is...a thing.

That sounds terrible. Let's play it.

That growling does NOT sound human. It's coming from the main tunnel of Route 05, so it sounds like you'll have to see what it is if your party is to move on.

Oh, so it's probably a mandatory encounter in set 3 if it's not taken care of now...the typical monster that's blocking the cave's exit...hmmm...

[Iron]

Classic!

[Lord Windos]

Hey Iron, just curious to know, but is Ven's Black and Blue Egg close to hatching? You did say it was likely to do so sometime this in game afternoon, and having yet another reason to be happy/catalyst for his recovery would be really really right about now...

[Iron]

I have a great idea for when to hatch it! Thanks for the reminder.

[Lord Windos]

I have a great idea for when to hatch it! Thanks for the reminder.

No problem, mate! Hopefully whatever is in the Egg will be pretty darn amazing! Also, Ramiel got sent to Ven's PC to make way for Delta Onix so that Heart can see it for himself (However he can when its unconscious  and in its ball) !

It's already reserved for Shiva to handle in order to win the Furret's favour, and to do so + to give her a bit of a heroic action that both me outta-chara and she in-chara desire for, she will take care of it alone. C:

I'll make my way to the train station then, as said posting may be a bit delayed depending when I'll be back from trip.

[Dragonstrike]

...just be careful about it. Befriending the Furret is good and all, but as we've seen in all of them so far, these mandatory encounters aren't to be taken lightly.

I've got some music in mind for this upcoming required battle as well. Should be an interesting change of pace, I think...
