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

[Lord Windos]

Huh, rare and fabled Pokemon guarded by a probably literal Legendary Doggie. Nice event you made there, Iron!

Now I'm wondering what the hecky is going to happen from here on out. I highly doubt that anyone going to get one of the Legendary Eggs, or any Egg at all save for perhaps the common ones, but eh, don't know what'll happen until it does, right?

[Lord Windos]

On a side note, I don't really care if Terra is with everyone else right now or not, but for simplicity's shake it might be for the best to just keep him from entering the Volcano and out of the loop entirely, as its not like he needs to know about anything that's happening there (for now, at least).

I'll leave this up to you. You can have Terra show up at any point you feel he'd have something worth taking a break from your finals to contribute.

@Iron, does that bonus for the Fire aligned pokemon apply to any Pledge made, or just Shiva's/Pledges involving the actual eggs?

[Dragonstrike]

Hmmmm...looking at all of our Fire types, the moves they can potentially all learn via witnessing the Pledge are...

Nathan

Swiftfire: nothing
Charmeleon: Fire Pledge (Already knows both Fire Fang and Flamethrower. Heat Wave and Blast Burn are both only on Charizard's moveset, unfortunately)
D-Hippopotas: nothing (and currently unavailable)
Orthros: Fire Fang (Already knows Flamethrower.  Technically unavailable though because he's a Delta species, unless Bill approves the trade because we're in the middle of a volcano where no humans from the past are likely to see us)

Shiva

Delphox: Fire Pledge, Flamethrower, and Blast Burn
Litwick: nothing

Heart

Rose: Fire Pledge, Fire Punch, Blast Burn (and maybe Flamethrower since Chimchar can learn it via leveling?)
Larvesta: nothing (because Heat Wave is only learned by Volcarona)

Spira

Hida: Flamethrower and Heat Wave (technically unavailable though, unless Spira goes and fetches them)
A-Marowak: nothing (and probably too violent atm to safely let out of its pokeball, anyways)

Terra has no Fire types available currently.


Hmmm...that's definitely...not as much as I was initially expecting, to be perfectly honest.

The Pokemon only have to witness the Pledge being made, so it doesn't matter. As long as at least one Pledge is made, everyone can get the Tutoring.

Blast Burn and Fire Punch could be awesome moves for Rose to use. Fire Pledge its cool too but it could bring a lot of negative casualities since its literally burn EVERYTHING around it and transform the battlefield into a literal inferno. To much dangerous in my opinion. Imagine if you are fighting in a battlefield in the Gym and then BAM! People get burning, field in flames and all kinds of nasty things.

After seeing what's required to get an Egg from Anti Extinctionist Arcanine, I believe I'm perfectly alright with Terra not going to the volcano at all and just exploring the jungle/waiting at the campsite, scratching his head and wondering where everyone is. Its not that I don't want a Pokemon there (thought I'm not particularly interested any one of them, except the Legends, and even then.....), but that I believe my character would flatly refuse to take up the Pledge, due to it having the potential to conflict with his existing pledge/job/solemn duty of being the group's guardian protector. His friends safety, wellbeing, happiness, and their future is pretty much the most important thing in his life save his own Pokemon and his parents, so he really couldn't accept any obligation that might deprioritize or interfere with his duty without feeling massively guilty/conflicted.

Regarding the Legend Eggs, I personally believe the Celebi Egg should be well enough left alone, due to the first time Shiva interacted with one caused everyone to get LURCHED frequently through time and space, so having another one constantly on hand is a near literally ticking time bomb. For the Moltres Egg (if its up for adoption) I think Heart should be the one to get it. He's already associated with Fire itself due to Jirachi's Blessing, but seeing as Moltres is a phoenix and represents rebirth, renewal, and flames of passion, it would be a perfect compliment to the pun lover's own desires to remake his clan and his own determination to right the wrongs of his ancestor/of the present era. Its practically a match made in heaven, eh?

So, in sum, Terra has no need to go to the cave (Other than to gawk at Arcanine and then immediately offer them marshmellow and honey), so he's staying out of the loop unless someone wants to clue him in later, which wouldn't matter to him other than being both proud and cautionary about said Pledge they made and the responsibility they've undertook.

Lol I'd love to see that.

What can I say, but that Terra loves dogs (and cats!), and loves to spoil them rotten with sweets and tasty snacks?

Well, if you want to, then I'm happy to write up a short post to that end. I have some time right now, before I have to get cracking on other booky stuff.
