[Astral Harmony]

All I revealed about your special Pokemon is its name. Hell, they'll probably think it's an evolved form of Cloyster or something.

1. Rayleen retracted what she decided so...decidedly. But Renny is definitely the leader of his sidequest, that much you've all agreed upon. As for the rest of it, you're all adults. Well, almost all adults, but as tried and true members of PATCA, Rayleen will respect your decisions about deciding who your leader is. Hell, bounce the role of leadership around if you like. Like if Renny's the leader right at the start of a mission and Impact's all like "Outta the way, boy. Let a man handle this." and Renny can decide that Impact can have the leadership...up until the time Impact rounds a corner and gets bitten on the arm by a Seviper for his insolence.

And honestly, I don't see what the problem with Renny being sixteen is. Think about the main characters in the anime and video games. Hell, they're younger than he is. Remember, we're in a fantasy world. There's reality, but we'll never get beyond the point where we recognize that the first Pokeballs were made from Apricorns. That came naturally from trees. I'm still WTFing over that nonsense yet I've come to accept it because Pokemon is a fantasy universe, where oversized monsters than can destroy the world somehow find themselves the willing slaves of kids who should still be in middle school disecting frogs and grossing out girls with the eyeballs, not dicking around with dragons that can manipulate time and space and giant birds that can flash-cook you with lightning, freeze you solid with ice, and flamebroil you with fire.

2. Moving along, I suppose it could work, but there will be major changes just like how Renny ended up inviting everyone to his party. Here's some hints:

- The Water, Flying, Bug, Poison, Grass, Fighting, and Steel Ruin Generals are already in place, or rather, in their respective points in the plot. I think a good mix of what you suggested would be Fire and Lightning in one area, and the Rock and Ground in another area. Or something else. I dunno, I'll figure it all out or we can work it all out.
- Faynoc kinda isn't gonna last very long. Expect to take him down in Pierce's sidequest. One thing I want to do in this RP is make certain that the bad guys don't run away. When you fuckin' see 'em, you're gonna fuckin' kill 'em...eh, most of the time. But like Moera, I want to make sure that big bads don't get defeat immunity (in other words, the plot doesn't save 'em when they lose the first or second time). No Rockets are blasting off again here, folks. Plus, it makes room for shit to just get worse as newer, fresher, fiercer foes stand between you and ultimate victory.

3. I can give that. Just be prepared for beautiful NPC females to be impressed by your awesomeness.

4. Eh, I do this 'n' that. It's mostly a bunch of bull that's both tedious and annoying, but if you think about it, it's important to the survival of ship and crew, so I do take it seriously.

Others: You can have a fourth weapon in your next upgrade.
