Yep. Moryūrei produces oil, its the other Kingdom inhabiting the mountain basin.
Your post was a fun read, though...
With more accurate physics I would imagine Pyrus as little more than a pile of ash and molten rock lol.
I can't say where exactly the caravan is though but your estimations should've been usable. The distance are more rough figures than absolute values. An entire caravan with walking guards and possibly children likely wouldn't be going annnywhere near as fast as a regular horse. Hard to say if they'd even be going at regular walking speed.
Arcanine would definitely be doubling maybe tripling their travel speed, so catching up shouldn't have been a large stretch.
I'd like to point out that the values I threw up were for minimal luggage. A horse pulling a carriage won't hit those 40 miles in a day.
Yea, and someone in the anime hugged the darn thing. XD If we did go by physics, Magcargo and Slugma can only exist in volcanoes, but even then being in volcanoes would cause eruptions constantly. So I am not following the Pokedex in some regards....
But then again, that was played as a comical gag of sorts. Because plot armor is a thing, nobody should get hurt unless it advances the plot. I wouldn't be surprised if humans evolved to be tougher, but I don't think they can survive being near a lava snail that is hotter than the sun....
Magcargo is almost twice the temperature of the surface of the sun xD
Anything around it from rock to solid steel should liquefy in an instant from getting even close to it. I'm not sure one can reasonable 'evolve' to such a degree. The anime has several superhuman feats though, like Ash's being strong enough to carry around Cosmoen, who's about as heavy as a small car.
We just ignore these things and call it a day :v
Yea. XD anime has weird physics and trying to follow them to a tee is just... no. XD let's not. Also, Cosmoem is basically a baby star that is about to explode into a sun, so yes it is incredibly dense. Then again, it can lift itself with Psychic energy, unless it was shown not to be conscious at the time.
But yea if Magcargo gets on a beach, all the sand will turn into glass, then liquefy in a split second and the ocean will immediately evaporate once it gets even near Magcargo. I have a feeling some Pokemon can lower their temperatures for people to hug them or be near, but imagine if they just don't want people to exist anymore... *shudders*

I mean they're guaranteed to join your party and all you need is an A-Rank
Going to shaft Jakob and Felicia like that?
I didn't know what was going to happen to him on my first playthrough so I didn't push for the A support.
Pokedex entries man, they barely make sense.Your post was a fun read, though...
Ash has also carried a Hippopots on his head, let a Fletchinder perch on his arm and carried a larvitar around. Showing no effort in any of those tasks, Ash has super strength.
Seriously Magcargo is just a mess if we go by the pokedex entry.
Yea, let's not go by Pokedex entries if it has anything to do with temperatures. XD also, Max in the anime carried around a Munchlax. Yea, I call BS. XD the anime is just rife with kids with super strength and plot armor.
Some pokedex entries are fine and help display the feats of a pokemon, but then you have the exaggerated ridiculous ones like Magcargo, Houndoom and Entei to name a few.
By the way, how would you like to treat the normal Learn sets?

Honestly, with the starting Pokemon we have and how likely it is for the battles to be tough ones, I feel like they need whatever move they can learn. (via leveling/the few breed ones of course)
Guess we do it the anime way? Where a pokemon suddenly start using the move after a spur of the moment. Or w can specifically train them to learn them.
@Grand Master Koop I am waiting on a post from Shizu before I can even use Fūyūko.
That's the topic of discussion at the moment. Getting everyone's thoughts on it. While Deerling can function with low-level moves, my life would be much easier with its higher leveled moves.
Because Amethyst has gotten a little lazy in fighting, she hasn't learned many moves after she had evolved some years ago. However, she is cunning in battle and will use other things in the environment and the whip-like feelers on her back have leather on them to startle smaller Pokemon as they make a snapping sound or to deter some Pokemon who aren't paying attention. She has likely learned a couple move tutor moves, as well but she isn't that great with them as of yet. She has been pretty laid back and will butt heads with Aether if she ends up telling her what to do.
Aether is somewhat competent in a fight. She does better in duels where she doesn't have to worry about other people, but can fight against three people. She has done it before, but prefers not to. Amethyst is a better fighter than Aether in some regards, but Aether is quicker in a fight.

For me, it's always been more fun to be adaptable and allow for a wider spread of moves. It allows for creative combos and inventive strategies the games don't quite allow, and it's one of my favorite aspect of Pokémon RPs. I'd say start with weaker moves for weaker Pokémon and build up, like the anime, but allow for inventive and unique uses and combos, like the manga.
@Mechanist Gamma has a point
Pretty sure that’s the case for everyone.

Rip. Could you at least wait for Moryurei to be introduced before framing it for messing up one of its trade partners lmao.
I think starting with one or two higher-level moves are fine, but just don't go overboard. For example, I might give my grotle bite or mega drain, but giga drain, crunch, and leaf storm are a little out of the realm of possibility at the moment. I think anything it can learn under level 30 is fair game. (will also have grotle know leach seed because turtwig can learn it before level 30 even though grotle can't)

Here's how I deal with movesets in my fanfics:
- Levelup moves can be learned as the Pokemon gets more skilled. Not necessarily in order. For moves that the Pokemon would have to use a different type of energy to perform (e.g - Charge Beam for Female Meowstic), they'd likely have to train specifically to be able to use that move.
- Move tutor moves, TM moves, and egg moves can all be learned naturally if they make sense with the Pokemon's capabilities. Again, using the Female Meowstic example, something like Calm Mind could probably be learned naturally, but something like Iron Tail might need some serious training.
- I added some normally unobtainable moves to Pokemon's movepools (after all, we all agree that MACHamp should be able to learn MACH PUNCH.)
That's just how I do it though.

I have officially updated Gaius's bio, he is now a proud retainer in the Oleda kingdom

Aether knew that Cariss doesn't have a kingdom she follows under. She was merely stating "business words", like how cops say what they need to say to someone who is going to get arrested so they know their rights, but this was different. XD I didnt say she knew who Cariss was, but I made a point in my next post about that. And oil? What happened with oil? XD
I actually don't agree. XD Machamp is anything but quick, only its fists. It can't move fast enough to unleash a quick punch as it needs quick feet to do so. It can learn Bullet Punch though. Plus, Mach in Machamp comes from macho. They are more about bodybuilding and showing off their strength than being fast and light on their feet. Mach Punch needs the Pokemon to be fast on their feet to get in close. Bullet Punch is a bit different as Machamp is still moving quickly, but not fast enough in Mach Punch speed, and Bullet Punch is using the momentum of its four fists to actually hit someone and move forward quickly. Besides, if a Machamp were to hit an opponent with a quick punch, it would use all of their fists in the punch, not just one.
Hmmm, well fair enough. I think I'll scramble the order Persephone learns her moves. What I have in mind focuses around a few of them, which I'll supplement with move-tutor later.
and interesting way of treating it. I think we'll be stick mostly to the possible move pools...though now that I think about it Machamp should probably be able to know Mach punch...
Right-o
Then I'll update the sheets with that.
My reasoning is actually quite similar to yours, though I can see Mach Punch as feasible because Machamp can learn Bullet Punch. Given them both being priority moves along with their names have connotations about speed. Although, I would agree Bullet Punch has more connotations of bullets being steel and hence it being a steel type move.
However, the real clincher for me is that Conkeldur can have Mach Punch as a move with breeding :v
Oh, in the interest of not getting horribly confused. Let's try to work out how we're going to work minor time skips due to travel and whatnot. Aether and Cariss are technically 2 days ahead of the rest of us due to them traveling for 2 days and I don't want them to arrive while Raithean is still RPing some time in the past xD
We should start coordinating the times whenever characters need to travel to another kingdom or meet each other. That way we can avoid any time discrepancies.

... but it has reach XD lol, it has two giant concrete sticks it throws around like they're nothing. But yea, I find it weird that Conkeldurr can learn it when it is technically as fast or slower than Machamp (I think).
Well, if Cariss wants to fight, we'll start doing that. If Cariss doesn't want to fight, we'll let everyone catch up as we let everyone do their thing.

Ok I'm fine with Machamp not knowing mach punch, because it does seem kinda sluggish (I mean it was a ride pokemon in SM and it wasn't very fast) but things like Growlithe not knowing growl, or Ryhorn not learning tackle, or a lot of regional birds not knowing peck, that's just ridiculous. I feel like it's ok to change a few things in that light.
Growl's Japanese translated name is Cry, and it actually is supposed to be a cute and endearing sound. Growl isn't supposed to be intimidating, which is the point of Growlithe. It has Intimidate, where it growls in a threatening manner, but it doesn't need to make cute noises because most Pokemon won't find the look of it as cute, they will mostly find it scary. English translated names are bad as it makes confusing errors such as this.
Of course, the birds not knowing Peck would be that these Pokemon's beaks aren't strong enough to do damage on most Pokemon. Of course, Rhyhorn not knowing Tackle is bogus. Gabite not knowing Bite or Crunch could be because its teeth are more for show and eating rather than actually hurting anything, but then again it should at least know Bite or some other biting move.
