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.

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...

No problem. Also, dont forget for us to have a battle in the future mate. I want to try Rose new Fire moves in battle. But I would recommend to go to a safe place for her to use Fire Pledge, since a move who burned everything might not be a good idea with so many people around. And I fear if that move hurt Terra since he have metal typing thing. But a battle between Anubis against Rose and Gustav might help unlock Anubis aura abilities. Even more if he see Gustav summon the Aura Sphere, a signature move of the Lucario evolution line.

Sure! Chespin could be a interesting addtion to Heart collection, since he kinda have 2 starters with two of the three core types: Rose (Fire/Fighting) and Netune (Water/Ground) so a Grass-type would be a interesting choice. Although a Grass/Fighting its not exatcly the most strong typing in defencive path, but the Spiky Shield make a excelent defense move, and he have access to Needle Arm and Belly Drum, with is two excelent moves. In terms of ofensive and defensive abilities, Chesnaught its a pretty dang useful pokemon. Not to mentioned his hidden abillity who protect him against Ranged and Physical moves. I like more the game version, but it still a useful ability.

I'm and Terra are game for a battle anytime, mate! ...Well, not right now, since Terra got finished with a Tough Battle, but maybe sometime after the Safari Cup!

Anubi evolves via Max Loyalty OR Happiness (And I'm not letting him Evolve until he learns Final Gambit, as I want me some of that!), so fighting against either Gustav or Rose wouldn't unlock his latent aural powers any sooner. It would, however, be exactly the sort of fierce match up he craves, so he would certainly be eager to face off against the fire monkey goddess and giant crawfish!

The Chesnaught line also is one of the few Pokemon in the game that can learn Spikes too , so with Iron's permission you could get in on some of that Entry Hazard Action that Terra and Nathan certainly enjoy having access to! Being a Grass/Fighting type also means they are immune to Sleep and get access to all the good HP Recovering Moves too, and Overgrown soups up his Grass STABs even more, so he's not too bad of a Pokemon at all really!

I look foward for that battle!

Oh yeah, Grass types is immune to sleep moves like Hypnosis. That could indeed help in protection against such moves in the future. Chespin also have access to certain interesting ??? Moves, like Drain Punch, Grass Pledge, Iron Defense when becoming Quiladdin, and Dual Chop, Synthesis and Frenzy Plant upon evolution. Nice moves to have it. Spikes could be a interesting hazard move to use. Imagine if Caesar and Chesnaught be in the field filled with Spikes and Poison Spikes? That could a...(Ches)Naught situation huh? And share pain with Pain Split (who also other of his moves). That puns is very...Overgrowing for this conversation. Thanks Arceus I Bulletproof like Chesnaught. Maybe play Chess(naught) later would good.

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!

I agree that traits like that can make things more interesting, but I don't think they always make them interesting in a good way, particularly if they're drawn out for too long.

I have a quick question @Lord Windos. Is Terra interest in find a Mega Stone for Anubis? I mean, when he evolves to Lucario? Because I can see Anubis becoming his main Megamon in that case.

Terra's generally interested in Mega Stones, and would like to get at least one usable one for his Pokemon, but if he had a choice of which it would be the first one he got, it would be a Manetricite, as Melly has been with him the longest time out of his Mega Evolving Pokes, and therefore shares the strongest bond to him outside of mechanics. His second choice would be a Lucarionite, though, followed by Mawilite and Medichamite!

[Spiritmon]

Huh, I found 5 Pokemon who can use the Mega Evolution when evolve to their final forms (with the exception be Heracross) in my team talking about that:

Neptune (when evo to Swampert)
D-Steelix (D-Onix evo)
Percival (when evo to Aggron)
Metagross (when evo to Metang and Metagross)
Heracross

Manetricite its a very much good choice, since its would make sense in character since both of them is very much together for quite a long time. But Lucarionite make also sense since Anubis and Terra begin to have a more deep conection since Terra become conected to Steel element with is also make sense with Mawilite for the same reasons, and Medichamite for relation with fighting types.

Huh, it was a wise choice to leave Riolu under Terra care. They perfect match each other. Both in fighting conection and future Steel line. What make me wonder something: There was some reason behind your decision in take the Steel Wish Tag? I mean, I choose based in what my char is based, in conection to Fire element and all. But I was thinking Terra would choose the Fighting Wish Tag. You suspect about something based in the typing of Lucario?

[Dragonstrike]

Oh, so we're listing potential megas now?

Gallade, Calam, Charizard (x2), Orthros, Juliet, Metagross, Sharpedo, Sablenite (if someone gets a Sableye), Altaria, and (maybe?) Ray are Nathan's potential Mega Pokemon when they're fully evolved.

Of those, though, the first 4 are the ones that Nathan is the closest to achieving.  (Calam being the closest to Mega Evolving, obviously, since all Nathan needs is something to trigger the process)

Yeap, and that's why he wants one and a Key Stone to Mega Evolve her with! You wouldn't be wrong about him having stronger ties with his Steel Pokemon/Steel Pokemon in general due to his Steel Blessing, but he's fairly equal to the care, love, and support he gives to all his Pokemon that's unique between him and a given partner (With an exception with Shiranui, Basteele Lapis, and Angie, as the first is his brother in all but blood, the second for unrevealed reasons, the third because of the sheer dedication and effort they went through to see him [Lapis] become grand, and the last because she's practically his little big girl). Anubi and him might be close, but he doesn't blatently favor him among the rest unless he has a training plan for him in mind. 

Mawile is still a...well, wild card at this point until she gets to a point were she'll behave more often than not, and Yogi and Terra's relationship is more akin to being good partners, due to the psychic being rather independent + having their own goals.

My selection process was basically taking all the Tags I liked the most after deciding I wanted to give it to Terra (VIT, STR, Fighting, and Steel), then just rolling dice to see which option won based on an arbitary criteria I've mostly forgotten about besides the fact it existed. Had I known what exactly the tags did (My guess was pretty accurate, though, but not confidant at the time), then I would have given the Steel Tag to Shiranui, as having quick and easy access to a STAB Bullet Punch + losing its Fairy and Psychic Weakness in exchange for Fire and Ground (Which he can handle easily with a Combination of Guts and/or Belly Drum + Fake Out + Brine) would have been awesome. Essentially, my Tag choice was pretty much semi-random, as I didn't really have an idea of what Tag I wanted and why due to the mystery surrounding them at the time, so I left it to chance as to which one I got!

Still, having a built in affinity to Steel types, giving STAB to Steel type Moves to all my Pokemon, and acting as a Metal Coat for Onix and Scythers (AKA: He can help Heart evolve D-Onix for free, and maybe even get his own Onix/Scyther later to evolve for free!) is pretty sweet, so I'm not complaining about me choices now!
