Pokemon Umbral Discussion 21: We'll Get To Mission 3 Eventually...

[Geminex]

Impact wouldn't be doing much front-line fighting if he's in charge of the Prideguard, is he?

Hey, Rayleen's in charge of us, and she still does front-line fighting. In this RP, high rank really doesn't mean you're not allowed in combat, especially if you find some way of justifying it.

By the way, you would not believe how I smiled when AB pointed out Impact's abuse of pauses.

Yeah, keep insulting me, why don't you. That's just how I talk! I choose my words... carefully. So does Impact. He just doesn't have the justification of "English-is-my-second-language".

Rayleen might take offense by the fact that by saying this, you declared (or imply) Renny as less competent especially right before saying that he know she trusts him. Hardly a good way to get in her good grace. =P
For all you know, she'll do what I do and state that being nice or kind does not mean he lacks competence of any kind, or something of that nature (why else you would bring it up?). Impact might truly believe that philosophy is a mistake, but what does that matter if he's not the one in position to pull the strings but rather her?

Well, in that sort of position, I'd imagine that Impact would be better-suited than Renny, even assuming that they're equal in terms of tactical and strategic planning (in which I'll endeavor to prove Impact's superiority during mission 3).
The only reason he would've mentioned Renny was to say to Rayleen "Look, you've promoted someone before. Time to promote me."

And I support the "splash" idea. Sounds good, will be useful.
