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

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

Okay. I feel we need any ways to prevent Deoxys from capturing some of our Pokemon, but I'm a little lost on how to do that bar trying to destroy the MSC Crystals of Deoxys or spending Will Points to resist the capture. If there are ideas and suggestions, please let them be heard!

(...) Finally, teams. We have a rough outline of who we are going to bring yet? Already listed who I most likely will bring, so what about you mates?

The team I wanted to bring to the fight/s is the following, no particular order:

- Whimsicott, obviously. Prankster, Tailwind, pseudo-STAB'd Night Daze and Hurricane, +1 Strength, can heal herself to a degree, Dazzling Gleam to attack multiple foes.
- Nightshade (Cherrim). Flower Gift Ability to boost allies + Fire Type attacks, Solar Beam, rampage via Petal Dance, Nature Power which could have unique effects in the current sceario.
- Kyuu (Meowstic male). Otherworldy aspects due to coming from the Dream World, resists Psychic Type attacks while being able to hit back with Signal Beam, Prankster, Light Screen, Disarming Voice to attack multiple foes.
- Yena (phenotype'd Mightyena). Another obvious choice due to lethal StrongJaw-Crunches and Rock Smash. Gets Snarl as backup soon, in this universe it hits only one foe though.
- Pangoro. Lacks a STAB Dark Type attack at the moment, but his powerful Bullet Punches and Outrages makes me want to bring him up. Scenical reasons also as he's raised to be vengeful towards those that harm nature.
- Actually I intended for Helios (Alakazam) for a slot due to Foul Play, but with the current info about the Deoxys Clones I rather go for Delphox. He too resists Psychic Type assaults while being able to fire back with Blaze-powered fire and Shadow Balls, also Lucky Chant.

Only things I can think of is using Magic Room, perhaps, since it disable Item use ( but that means we'd have to forgo them ourselves), use Taunt and hope that'll make it too angry to think of doing anything BUT attack (Which means it'll be more brutal with us), or see if the Shield can't block the Captures of Pokemon (But if that works, only one Pokemon per Round can benefit from this). We probably could aim at the MSC chunks and destroy them too to release our Pokemon, but that'd constitute as a distraction that could allow the super space virus to do other nasty things.

Speaking of MSC, Terra still has that large chunk of his with him, after all this time. How's it reacting to the chaos that is DEOXYS? Also, never got back to me on that 'Is the Ship Gold viable currency for bartering' , Iron. Of course, with the whole Town deserted except for three locals, and with the Scimitar's help, we could just raid the Pokemart and cover our tracks for our supplies, under the justification of 'If We Don't Have Heals, DEOXYS Wins!' Everyone but Terra would probably instantly reject doing such, but if he were to keep it secret (And disguise himself, just in case) and only ask the Scims to assist him.....would that work?

[Iron]

The MSC you have has not changed at all when you reached the surface.

You can pawn almost all of the gold directly as money. I'll get you a value right now.

Your 30 Pokeballs held a combined total of $150,000, and it's shiny enough that if you wave it under someone's nose, they'll be willing to trade with you even during a disaster.

You already know that the Cress City Pokemart and Tent were relocated to safe havens, but you don't know what happened to the one in Elanor. (No one else knows either).

[Lord Windos]

Alright, so the Ship Gold Total wealth was $20000 Poke, which divided evenly among everyone gave us $40000 Poke, and splitting the Pseudo Throne Room Loot 4 ways between Terra, Shiva, Heart, and Spira (Sorry Dragonstrike, but since you didn't contribute.....) , that would give the four $37500, for a grand total of $40000 for Nathan, $77500 for Heart, Shiva, and Spira, and $67500 for Terra (He spent $10000 for dat Heavy Ball). Assuming everyone buys to a Max Total of 6 Max Potions/Full Restores , that would equal at most $15000 Poke, and only $10000 Poke for Terra since he still has his 2 Max Potions. So that would leave quite a bit leftover Poke for other purchases, such as Move Tutoring, Pokeball Purchases, for later etc..

Overall, not a bad haul! Since Terra's the one that's handling the Treasure Liquidation, you guys want me to do the purchases for you and save the remainder to fully be liquidated into Poke post disaster (And therefore give us back all our Pokeballs from the PST without scratching our heads over it), or do you just want Terra to split up the Loot and distribute to everyone equally now that he's figured out the approx value of everything?

[Iron]

Way easier if you just pretend the loot is money for now.

? Dear, why do you assume this? Shiva would be up for that for the very justification you stated if no human nor Pokemon is harmed during that acton.

Those 150.000$ from the loot collected down the palace would make 37.500$ for Terra/Heart/Shiva/Spira if we divide it just by the four of us, since Nathan opted to not donate any Pokeballs for this Action me feels this is justified. However, I'd be okay to take 'just' 36.000$ so that he could have at least a small share. You'eve beaten me already, dear, lolz

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

I'll think I'll look closer into purchases and all that after dinner. Also curious what that Bug Move Tutor specializing in Megaevolution has to offer.

[Dragonstrike]

You forgot I spent some of that 40k on a Choice Scarf, and Shiva spent some of it on a Black Apricorn, Windos.

Well, alright then! We'll deal with all the mischellanious stuff about it later, then!

So.....mates, you want me to just purchase everything for you, or have Terra divide the loot and let you do as you wish with it?
