Shedninja's 'steal your soul' thing is probably just folklore.

Charlotte will be sick, and she will have this totally cool replacement and everyone will bemoan the fact that he'll have to leave after the mission is done and they have to put up with Charlotte again.

I figured, but one does wonder where the basis for the folklore came from... Assuming that it isn't indeed fiction.

And yet everyone will have to suffer in silence lest Charlotte overhears them grumbling, wishing she was replaced with him and she adds said person on her shitlist. :3

Sounds neat though. ^^

Precisely the reason why he will never be mentioned outside said mission. Thus there is no plot hole in sight.

Already thinking up the character. Probably a Xatu pokebrid.

All that folklore was probably created a long time ago when people were still scared of their shadows, lived in caves and believed that they invented dirt.

I think Pokedex entries were designed to be utterly ridiculous. Check out Torterra's Platinum entry...

"Some Pokemon are born on a Torterra's back and spend their entire life there."

If that's the case, why the hell am I bothering with tall grass when my starter's back is its own little Safari Zone?

*Goes to re-edit my data-base to find a different psychic pokemon for the psychic trainer.*

I wouldn't worry too much about that, Menarker. Fighting as a Xatu Pokebrid and being a trainer with a Xatu Pokemon is pretty different on its own.

I guess this just means that I should have a wide variety of Honmyr Pokemon to go 'round.

Its not like he's going to appear in a bunch of missions. Just like 1 or 2 in Umbralite.

Update!

I sent a PM to our good buddy Dracorion.

This weekend, Pokemon Umbral will move forward whether he does this post or not. I've offered to assist with the post writing and everything, but that's pretty much the best I can do for him. I'm sure everyone wants to get along with things.

So, if Dracorion doesn't type up a post this weekend, then I'm taking his last post and using that to determine the party's interaction with Pierce and then usher the group along to the next fight without Pierce in tow. This should allow Dracorion to still do his post and catch up, an opportunity that will expire when the shit really hits the fan (the lab a-splode).

I'll also create UmbraLite this weekend (it'll be about PATCA instead of new trainers), finish up the characters, work on some 'mons, and hopefully actually be able to do everything I just typed in this paragraph. What? I'm a lazy fucker, too.

So sayeth the Bishoujo.

Well hell.

A deadline is exactly what I need.

You have 1 hour to finish the RP.
