After several days of debates (and even a Pokémon battle), my advisors and I have finally settled an issue on the Psyche battle system, as well as whether or not you all have been doing good or bad morally wise. You'd think my vote would overrule everyone. The Felicity filler post will be up tomorrow.

wait...huh?

whats a psyche battle again?

I think there gunna smash u flat versey :3

Ooh. When are we going to get to write those Psyche battles? (Verser, I believe they are battles in which you have a chance at turning a New Order member to the Resistance side.) I've been itching for a chance to battle a member of the Kalos starter trio.

wuzza Kalos?

@15253 Kalos. Pokemon's sixth region. You're welcome.
You might want to get some more info on Pokémon-related places and Pokémons themselves in the future, 'cause some stuff are pretty inspiring/useful for this Pokémon-related SB. Food for thought.

My Jewels-post will be up today, but instead of splitting it up, it will just be one long post. And while I'm on the topic of long posts, my Gabriel-post will follow the same format, which means the exchange, the arrival at the SoS and the meeting will all be in one post. Thus, @Robusto, @15253, @Buggiedude2340, @Charizard821, @Tortwag, and @TheSilverFox, if you have anything you want to be discussed during the meeting, make yourselves heard - if it's not in the DT, it won't be in the meeting. (@Verser doesn't get to raise an issue since he's a traitor. )

Here are the things I shall have brought up during the meeting thus far:
♦ Xerneas will explain his capture and consequent absence
♦ Gabriel will clarify why he made the exchange without permission
♦ Gabriel will insist on knowing exactly how many humans were brought over
♦ Latios will enquire about the Resistance's ideas on getting his sister back
♦ Riley will ask what they plan to do about Articuno's capture (he will slip away after this)
♦ After Flurry has realised Riley is gone, she will ask who will accompany her to find him (Riolu's can cover a very large distance in a short amount of time) - Jewels, Raikou, Landorus and Shaymin will agree
♦ Lugia will say the Plates are still priority and then starts discussing who needs/wants to go where
♠ Ren, Aegeas and Gabriel will offer to find the Icicle Plate, so they will return with Lugia and Xerneas to Frostpoint (seeing as Absol is Ren's friend, I think he should go too)
♠ Twinkiel, Zulu, Ariala, Fleedjio, Spadassya, Cresselia and Celebi will offer to secure the Insect Plate (they're going to Cut-throat Pass, which is why so many of them will be going)
♦ Diancie and Jirachi will stay behind to guard Tornadus, whom they will release for Articuno or Latias
♦ Mew, Mewtwo, Latios and Meloetta will hunt down Thundurus so that they can exchange him, along with his brother, for Articuno and Latias
♦ Seviper of the Knife's Edge will want to negotiate the terms of his alliance - if they even agree on that - with the Resistance

If anybody wishes to elaborate on the above (Tortwag, I know you'd want to) or mention anything else, do so posthaste.

On a different note, I may or may not know when a Psyche Battle will be occurring...

We have reached the point where I will explain what they are. Psyche battles offer the chance to turn not only New Order members, but any person opposed to the cause of the Resistance to your side. To do so, one must either
A. Battle them normally while also whittling away at their Psyche with either evidence their cause is wrong (New Order) or why working with the Resistance is a good idea (other). Pretty much write a fight with battle banter.
B. Do the above, but through a monologue. This converts people more quickly, but may not work on some people.
There are five levels of difficulty.
.Weak Willed
.Blind
.Resolute
.Diabolical
.Heartless

Pay attention to issues that characters face. For example, Sully is strongly opposed to Slavery and hates Darius. Revealing the New Order has recruited Darius to enslave people for the mines would convert her easy. But if the Resistance were able to convert Darius to their side, then Sully would no longer be available for Psyche battle since she would never work with him. Having certain people will either make the Psyche battle easier or harder. I will decide whether certain criteria are met, and if the Psyche battle is a success or failure. The challenger simply writes the first part of the battle or the monologue, and if they succeed, then they finish up writing the battle with the target joining their side. Fail, and they have to write second half of the battle with them killing the target. Any questions?

@AstralHunter ...Huh. Looks like I have to re-focus on Twinkiel for a while then, there's still one short thing I haven't posted yet.
...Well darn it.

For the Seviper part, I'll go ahead and say that he's leaning towards yes, because he's not stupid enough to NOT realize that when some legendaries plan to destroy you after your war, you might want another pack of those to guarantee your safety.
As for the negociation bit, here would be the things he'd been interested in for this alliance:
-The Knife's Edge and all of their allies, current (or added later on, as Twinkiel will slyly point out) will be under the Resistance's protection, and the Legendaries of said Resistance WILL intervene should they be in danger against any NO assault (Such an offer of protection wil upset the balance of power in the Greatwood Jungle, which is why other tribes might want to join the Knife's Edge to benefit from that protection as well, thus increasing the ranks of the Resistance members. Twinkiel and Spadassya would mention this point together in the meeting.)
-The Knife's Edge and their allies have the right to learn moves from any of the other resistance members (including of course the legendaries), which would both better their skills and strengthen the Resistance's army.
-The Knife's Edge and their Allies must be informed of any operation the Resistance undertakes and can choose to participate in any of them as long as their under the protection of one of the Legendary members of the Resistance.

And that's pretty much it. As you've seen, I've added one more thing that both Twinkiel and Spadassya would say during the meeting, so do consider implementing that in your post. Thankies in advance, and enjoy your long post :3

@Robusto ...Now we're talking. Battle banters? Psychological manipulation? Target Killing? NOW WE'RE FREAKIN' TALKING. Pumped up. SO. Pumped up for those Psyche battles, you have NO idea.

I'd like to add Ren asking about Frost (I know I haven't really focused on their relationship) and agreeing with Gabriel on insisting how many humans were bought over.

ill post whenever yall finish the meeting parts
