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

[Spiritmon]

Spoiler

@Spiritmon: Hey, remember that Spirit Tag and Life Orb you got awhile back? Now that I have the Poke, Duskull is going to become a lot more tractable in the future, and Lapis learned Recover, I would like to purchase them off you. My starting offer I'd give you is $2000 Poke for the Spirit Tag, and $6000 for the Life Orb. I'm paying what should be the max value of the Spirit Tag to both be fair to you and the fact that it's also useful for Golett (And therefore I need to make a higher bid), but only a little bit above the bottom price of LO, since only Terra's bulky to ultra Bulky Pokemon can really get a use out of it without outright putting themselve in constant jeapordy (Shiranui, Lapis, and Angie), while arguably only Rose (If she just stuck to spamming Flare Blitz, which already has Recoil, so LO just gives that Move + 2 Damage), Gargryph (Passive Regeneration could help...), and D-Onix (Bulky Snek, can learn Roost potentially) could use LO 'safely'.

In sum, Heart would get $8000 Poke out of the deal (which is nothing to sneeze at) while Terra gets Items that would help him greatly but wouldn't serve you as well. How does that deal sound?

Sure! Sounds a fair deal to me. I sell the Spirit Tag the Life Orb for the prices you put. In fact, I will do something better for you: You can get the Spirit Tag and the Life Orb for half of the prices, in this case 1000 and 3000. Doing that because of you and I are friends of long date, and also Terra might need buy a lot of items later he might need. I just like to ask two things: When I fight against the Ghost Type Gym Leader, could I ask you if I could burrow the Spirit Tag and the Life Orb to fight against him? It will be only in that case my friend, and I will give you back right away. Deal?

Dragonstrike: Is Nathan going to Terra for a free $5000? Like I said, my character would be more than happy to help out, and it help square off the debts between them!

Probably, as I'm likely going to need some funds for supplies as well as the entrance fee.

@Phantom: What is the rest of Shiva's Encounters for this day, dear? If its possible, I'd like to get started on teaching Shiranui Bullet Punch (If their is a PC in TV that I can grab him from to temporarily swap with Michael) or Tailwind to Genie (If their is no PC). Pangroo's help with Bullet Punch training would also be greatly appreciated in the former, but I'm not sure which Pokemon in the group has Tailwind that could help Tutor Genie that Shiva could borrow to help Tutor her favorite dragon.

I think I've spoiled or mentioned it somewhere in MetaThread already? My plans for the rest of the Day are visiting the Safari Zone to make out the locations of notable plants in order to gather things from them during the Volunteer Ranger duties during the next Day and meet the Pokemon of one or two Levels. I'm working towards that currently by deciding on the party to bring along and which Level/Levels will be it. Depending how things turn out though I might leave the Zone earlier and only spent the 2nd Encounter Slot there instead of the 2nd and 3rd, so a Tutoring Session at the end of the current Day is doable - then again though, it depends on the happenings in the Safari Zone, so while it can be done it isn't 100%ly sure that it will happen. Let me finish my 2nd Encounter and then we'll see, alright...?

There's a PC in the Pokemon Center of the Valley. It'll be Bullet Punch definitely - because, my dearest, if I remember correctly Delta Onix knows Tailwind but Shiva would not want to work with a Delta Pokemon and least of all with one that's disobediant unless Terra would outright force her to do so. (Please don't tell me he would D: ) Means, I'd like to postpone that until after Cottonee has evolved please, can we agree to that? She's got enough XP to learn it in the evolving process.

Alrighty, I'll wait and see. Been patient this long, so putting it off longer won't bother me too much.

Okie dokie, then let Shiranui get started on learning a very useful Priority Move for him, and we wait to teach Genie Tailwind later! Terra wouldn't force D-Onix being used to help Tutor his dragonfly princess if the idea of working with Deltas and/or Disobedient Pokemon is THAT revolting or offputting to her, though he'd be disappointed in her for her intolerance towards Deltas if that was the primary reason. He's understanding of her disdain, but that doesn't mean he shares her opinion on them, nor finds it all that fair or nice towards those Pokemon.

What. That's......awfully generous of you, mate. Are you SURE you don't want the full value of the deal, though? I mean, if you want to undersell your own Items, that's just dandy, but I think Heart could also put $8000 Poke to good use himself too, especially if he wants to participate in the Monday Cup. At the very least, let me pay you $5000 Poke to cover the entry fee for the Cup if you're going to participate, and catch you a Rare Pokemon later to help compensate you for the price cut overall!

Also, I'm fine with sharing Terra's Hold Items with anyone that asks for them, especially if they have great need for them. He's nice like that!

Thankies for the understanding, aww!~ *fondly hugs and smooches* I'm looking a bit forward to see how Pangoro and Shiranui work together on a move. ^^

Ah, he really doesn't have to share her opinion on Deltamon, that'd be too much to ask for. Accepting it is enough. Shiva has reasons to dislike and prefer to have nothing to do with these Delta Pokemon, but I would rather not elaborate further on that - Seems to be unique in the group.

I pretty sure man. I good in some healing items and Pokeballs, so I dont need that much of Poke. Besides, I have the Amulet Coin to help increase the money gained in battles like the one I fighting now since I equipe on Natu. I gonna get 4000 Pokedollars thanks to that since 2000x2 = 4000. With the 4000 of the price I will take the value total.

But I indeed think in join the Monday Cup for sure...my team is always up to test his skills. And this time I more confident in win this time. Or at least go to the finals. So I accept the $5000 Poke my friend. And the help in capture a Rare Pokemon. That might be a chance for both of them interact to each other. I may try even capture that Chespin after my encounter finish if possible.

H-Honey, not in public! *Blushes like a school boy*

Not to moralize or condemn Shiva's disdain for Deltas, but Ventus' hatred/fear/paranioa of all things even remotely magical/arcane/W I E R D  and his rather liberal views towards violence and raising his Pokemon was rather unique too, yet it didn't turn out all that well for him in the end. Considering that everyone in the group but Terra has one form of Delta Pokemon or another (Heart with D-Onix and maybe some others, Nathan with Othros, D-Forrestress, D-Hippo. and Calam technically, Spira with his Dusknior technically, and even Shiva with her A-Vulpix (For it is just a Delta by another name, semantics be damned!)), have an aversion that prevents you from working with them and being critical of their very existance sounds like a long term problem waiting to happen. 

Her fear and disdain of Poison types too could also become a problem, but I don't imagine it will be considering how justified it is, and how accepting Shiva is of others despite her own reservations (unless they done something that earned her ire/fear, that is).

Welp, okay then, if you insist! Thank you for the early Christmas present, mate!

Glad you accepted the counter offer, though, so I'll get you that $5000 Poke and Rare Pokemon pronto! If you want Terra to help you catch Chespin and then do the deal (If the critter is still around by Encounter 2), then that's fine by me! Would be a GREAT chance to test out Genie's new Move too, especially if you have a Pokemon capable of Fake Out on Heart, hehehehe...

Aren't you cute~ *hugs harder*
 
I know that Delta-Dislike can lead to problems and conflicts, but it also adds a bit of spice to things and has potential to lead to interesting happenings. At least, that's what I think!

Oh, you can thank that Nidoking that's been given to Shiva's dad's Daycare once when she was a young girl for her fear and soft-trauma over Poison Types, don't know whether it'll be revealed once in-game or not what has actually happened. That and due to her liking for Fairy and Grass Types it's a bit natural to have reservations for poisonous Pokemon. ^^
