"Well, it's possible you violated someone's mineral rights, but I wouldn't worry about it. What you got there is a piece of iron ore. You could smelt a lot of metal out of that if you have a very hot Pokemon, like Magcargo or Charizard or something. I don't know why your Quetzel would want it though. Rock Types are weird like that."

"Tell me about it. I have some strong fire Pokemon. A Infernape with Flamethower and Blast Burn, and a Larvesta. I have two friends of mine who have a Magcargo and a Charizard. Could I sell this Iron Ore to someone? I could use some money for some funds in a adventure tomorrow."

Then Heart try to call the attention of Quetzel. "Oi! Quetzel! There is anything else you want from this rock? Dont expect me to carry this stone to the Pokemon Center. I almost die bringing here. I will not carry this thing to the Pokemon Center."

Heart decided to send a message to Nathan/@Dragonstrike and Spira/@Mikaruge108. "Guys, I need your fire-types help. Find some Iron Ore that my D-Onix was interest to make a Metal Coat. A little help please!

"If you refine it, you can probably sell it for $1000."

Quetzel is pleased with your work so far and picks up the rock easily in her tail.

"I think I know someone who could help me refine it. If they answear my messages of course."

When they get to to Pokemon Center, Heart call Nathan and Spira for a little help with the Iron Ore thing.

Nathan responds.  "Yo, what's up, Heart?  Delta Onix lead you to some iron ore?  Okay...why'd he do that?  He did that after you mentioned evolution?  Hmmmm...okay, let me grab Charizard and I'll meet up with ya."

Nathan and Heart presumably meet soon, and Nathan whistles when he sees the size of that rock.  "Wow, that's kinda big.  Did Delta Onix help you carry that all the way over here?  Whatcha going to do with it as well?  Do you think D-Onix could use it to evolve, maybe?"

"Maybe. But with Terra Metal Power, I may able to evolve Onix without have to trade away the Metal Coat. I could save for me in the future. Held Items is very much rare to find, but that Coat I could save for Onix use in the future. Or maybe sell for some profit but I supose Quetzal would not like. Thats the name I gave to Onix."

"Possibly, though maybe there's a way to use this ore to evolve Quetzel without doing a round trade?  Either way, Charizard can certainly help melt this thing down for whatever reason you use it for.  We might at least need a rough cast of some kind to shape it, though..."

@Iron, any suggestions on what possible courses of action there are here?

Original Post

Spira graciously accepts the coffee and practically downs it *ah~*.
"Yes, I taught myself to cook. A lot of the meals that I make are the result of, sometimes explosive, other times so bad that even a Grimer wouldn't eat the results, trial and error." He shudders slightly, "There was one failure that released a smoke plume in the shape of a mushroom (mushroom cloud)"

This is Shiva's expression when seeing the spectral breeder downing the coffee in one go. She almost instantly pours him another one, "Want a second one? ...But the rest is mine, miiine!" She hugs the thermos® protectively and quickly packs it away into her stuff.

In her mind she imagines a slightly younger version of Spira happily experimenting and mixing cooking ingredients together with his Ghosts, and when everything goes BOOM in a mushroom cloud, she shudders massively. "......Ah. And, uh.... what did you do with that failed cooking or whatever was still left of it?" *frightened starring* "Did nothing happen to YOU?"

"There was nothing left, not even the cooking pot; got vaporized." He shrugs, "Fortunately, it didn't explode immediately, so I was able to get a good distance away from it."

Oh. That causes Shiva to visibly calm down, she also can't help but to chuckle at the thought of a cooking pot vaporizing. She also enjoys, maybemaybe is a tad bit impressed by that too, that he talks about such a failure with reative ease. 'I, uh, still better not ask what he mixed together there...', she silently thinks to herself.

Yena comes running back in that moment with the duskball-toy i between his mighty fangs, drops it in front of Shiva and barks and spreads his wings to ask her to throw it again, which she happily does. He's her anti-ghost dog, but won't do a thing to acquainted Ghost Types unless they themselves give reason to defend her; but Shiva's got the feeling that Spira's ghosts won't pose a threat at all unless being being provoked. As the butterwolfly goes chasing the ball across the yellow flowers of Elanor, Shiva gazes up to the Comet with very mixed feelings dwelling within her. "...Hey, Spira..... If we make it out of all that safely and in one piece... *cough* ...Say, could you then, maybe... I mean, could we then cook one of your recipes together? At best one that's matching the nutrial needs of Grass Types, or a snack-like thing that can be shared between the Pokemon and the caretaker..."

"...I'd be happy about that."

Spira wasn't expecting her to say that, and his expression is similar to this:

Spira realizes he's blushing and covers his face, "*Cough* Yeah, sure thing."

You could have Onix roll around in a clay pit to make a cast, then use Terra + Charizard to trigger the evolution. I'd be OK with that.

(6)(3)(6)(5)(1)(1) (1)
The targeted Stone comes lose, and Honedge intercepts it from the air. He begins glowing with light, which doubles into two spheres. In the crucible of evolution, the two spheres of light lengthen and form two bonded swords - Congratulations! Your Honedge evolved into Doublade!

Howl smiles at another evolution in his gym. "Most people just go near the stone to trigger evolution, but if it works it works. Shall we keep going, or are you off to your very important appointment?"

Dark Pulse 2
(5)(2)(2)(3)(1)(2)
6* Str + 3 power +1 stab +1 glasses -7* vit = 4d6+1
(4)(1)(2)(2) Doublade takes 2 dmg 6/9hp -1 pain
Flinch: (1)(6) Doublade flinches 3

Dark Pulse 3
(1)(3)(5)(4)(6)

Dark Pulse 4
(6)(6)(2)(1)
(4)(4)(3)(1) Doublade takes 3 dmg 2/9hp -2 pain
CD: (5)(1) If it weren't for the evolution, Doublade would be at maximum pain right now!

Leftovers heals 1hp, leaving him at 3/9hp.

Awww. Shiva does not blush, but she instead smiles and chuckles and very lightly and playfully punches his right shoulder. "D...Don't blush like that, duuuh! ( >з<) It's a valid skill for anyone aiming to specialice in Pokemon Breeding, and a nice way to get to know a person better. All I can cook for 'em so far are Poffins."

Considering this is happening at the end of Day 77 and Heart has D-Onix on his team during the gym battle on Day 78, this is kinda important to figure out now!

Is Heart ready to evolve Quetzal into a Delta Steelix, @Spiritmon?  Should be simple to contact Terra and have Gallade fetch him if Terra's help is needed after all.

Now he's beet-red; *nervous chuckling* "Oh. Yeah, of course, no problem." He apparently misunderstood what she was asking. o.o;

Let's say it needs to be done on Day 78 so there's enough daylight.
