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

[Lord Windos]

My starting bid is 1/2 the total value of the Shiny Dweeble Shells Terra has found, + a Sitrus Berry and a Day's worth of Training your Pokemon. I really want that TM, so I'm going to be heaping on the wealth to get me my copy!

Man, I really want to that Stealth Rocks too. That could do wonders for my team too. My starting bid of course its the Miracle Rod I have find, the Training Claw used to train pokemon with Claws, a Hyper Potion and a Day wortly of Training with your pokemon too. Sorry Windos my friend, but I want that TM too!

I raise my bid to $10000 Poke, 1 Sitrus Berries, and 2 days of Training or doing Errands for Nathan, @Dragonstrike .

Same benefits I offer from before, along with 1 Revive, 3 days of trainings with Nathan, 2 Full Heal and 2 Ultra Balls.

*Raises eyebrow* You're rather serious about this, aren't you? Hmm....calculating the Poke worth of your bid up to this point : 1800 (Training Claw + Full Heals) + 1200 (Hyper Potion) + 1500 (Revive) + 2400 (Ultra Balls) = $6900 Poke, + ? Cost of the Miracle Rod and all those days of training. 

Right now, I'll throw $500 more Poke, two Persim Berry and my TM for Thief, which will raise my bid to roughly ~ + $12600 Poke + the Two days of Training. This will be my final bid.

The difference between our bids is that Hearts offering Expensive Bought Items and More Training Time, while I'm offering hard to find Natural Items, a TM, and pure Poké to spend on. 


The choice is up to you now, @Dragonstrike , unless Spiritmon wants to re-raise the bid again to make his offer even sweeter.

Welp, time to put my final bid on action: All the offers from before, 1 Super Potion, 1 Great Ball...and 1 week of training.

While rooting around in the Berry bushes, Nathan finds two misplaced discs! They're brown...and the Pokedex says they contain Stealth Rock!

Stealth Rock has a pretty great selection in the Core Book, so we'll just keep it at ? moves and level up moves already in Core.

Welp, analysis time!  The pokemon that we own that can learn it are...

- Sandshrew
- Delta? Tropius
- Ray
- A-Geodude
- Delta Onix
- Ferrothorn (Ferroseed has to evolve first)

So basically, only Heart and Nathan can get any use out of the Stealth Rock TMs (and I definitely want to teach the move to at least one of Nathan's pokemon!).  However, do note that SR was nerfed quite drastically in Pokerole (just like Spikes), as it no longer deals damage based on a pokemon's type, instead always dealing 1 damage regardless of type (unless the GM says otherwise).

As for the Miracle Rod...well, lemme just list everyone's Grass types for good measure.

List of Grass Types

Terra:
- Michael (but he's always holding a Toxic Orb)

Heart:
- Viktor
- Ferroseed

Nathan:
- Yule
- Snivy
- Delta? Tropius
- Ray

Shiva:
- Nightshade
- Cottonee
- Tropius
- Oddish
- Chikorita

I love it the cat face XD Anyway, Nathan can keep the Stealth Rock. Since it is his finding, Nathan have total right in keep it. As for the Miracle Rod, I gonna keep to myself. Unfortanely Nathan I have trade Ferroseed a time ago (I just dont know when). I just dont know yet what to do with such item. Maybe I should give the Miracle Seed to Larvesta for now and give the Miracle Rod to Viktor. 2 More HP its always a good thing, but he dont need to access the move Grass Knot since he already have many strong such as Horn Leech. @Iron, even if no-grass type hold the Rod, other pokemons can hold it to gain access to Grass Knot? Or only Grass pokemon can use the Miracle Rod to gain the use of Grass Knot?

Good question - the Rod has no effect at all on non-grass types. Obviously dual Grass types like Trevenant are fine.

Iron said that Basteele can ALSO learn the Move, so I have a major stake in wanting it for her too! At least, that's the impression Iron gave me when I asked to teach the Move via a Surprise, and he said that he'd put the TM on my wishlist instead. Right, mate? I'm rather willing to give you quite the bit for one copy, mate!

Yes, I approved that as a TM for Basteele back when you were creating a character.

BTW, I saw that six tornados touched down in your area, Dragonstrike! Everything safe with you?

ACK! I did NOT know about that! Are you okay where you're at, mate?

[Dragonstrike]

BTW, I saw that six tornados touched down in your area, Dragonstrike! Everything safe with you?

Yup, I'm fine!  One of the areas that could have touched down passed right over my house, but it didn't (I did look outside and note that it looked very windy, though).  One of the tornadoes did touch down around 5 miles from where I worked, but I wasn't at work that day, and the store's fine too.

Haha, it looks like I am the only one who's not really interested in obtaining a TM of Stealth Rock, so I'll completely keep myself out of this issue and bidding. Good luck for both on winning it!
