Move Tutor

[latani]

"Hello there! Don't cringe now, I'm not really quite that loud, now am I? OHOHOHOHO!

The name is Vernon, and I am quite a friendly man. I could be considered a chocolate connoisseur, a cocoa aficionado if you will! And I believe I have a proposition for you that may make both of us happy. Before I gained my sweet tooth, I was a knowledgeable young lad who studied hard throughout university on Pokémon. I specialized in their move sets and have the skill to teach your Pokémon special moves that they wouldn't learn otherwise!

There are some wonderful chocolates from Unova known as Heart Sweets that I particularly enjoy. If you so happen to obtain any during your travels, return to me and I shall teach something special to your Pokémon. Or, if you're the treasure hunter type, I have a friend in Cherrygrove that I collect Shards for.

Different moves may be easier or more difficult to teach, so be sure to stock up before paying me a visit! And you must make sure your pokémon are compatible with the move you would like me to teach them so that it is not a wasted effort. Now I must go; a shipment of some more gourmet cocoa awaits me. Good-bye and may we meet again soon!"

Vernon can teach MT moves from Generation IV onward that is listed for any particular pokémon. Check Bulbapedia to confirm eligibility for the move of interest.

Vernon can also teach particular special moves, or will give the equivalent TM if possible, in exchange for shards.

There is a cap of 2 moves per visit. In order to revisit the Move Tutor, your character must change to another area and return after a minimum of two battles.

OOC: Spending x4 Sweet Hearts on Voltek to learn Ice Punch.

[Marchbaby]

Using 4 Sweet Hearts to teach Kamikaze Ice Punch by forgetting Screech, also using 4 Sweet Hearts to teach Dazzle Liquidation by forgetting Astonish. I can update everything myself.

[Marchbaby]

Really tough decision here but I have decided to have Stella the Camerupt forget Amnesia so she can learn Stomping Tantrum. I will update the move and deduct 4 Sweet Hearts from March's total.

[Tiki]

Alex have 4 Heart sweet (why is it named backward lol)
Ethan have 7

total should be like, 5?
so subtract 4 from alex and 1 from Ethan

Pansage in Alex box would like to learn Covet and Gastro Acid under the USUM move tutor list
delete moves Flash and Leech Seed

LMK if it's ok. thanks

Since you can move things back and forth between the inventories anyway, that's not problem at all. Updated! -Tarlar
As for the name, Heart Sweets is the Japanese name, while Sweet Hearts is the English. Very confusing

[Tiki]

[Marchbaby]

Marchbaby decided to make a quick put stop to the move tutor with two dragons in hand. Though they were mostly of totally different personalities he knew that the tutor could teach them both a powerful dragon type attack known as Outrage that Marchbaby was quite familiar with from his days of watching other dragon tamers battle. He knew such a powerful move would not come cheap at all but the price would be worth it to have both Mama and Khaleesi learn such a devastating move while still so young. As he entered the move tutors house he took both Pokemon out before explaining what he wanted to accomplish on this visit.

" Hello Mr. Move Tutor, I brought these two young dragons here today as they could use your help to learn Outrage. I have been training for some time with other Pokemon and I finally feel I can handle them even with such a dangerous move. I can imagine your services will be costly as you would be taking quite a risk but as you can see by my stash of Sweet Hearts I am fully prepared to pay. These should be enough to pay for your services."

As he handed 10 Sweet Hearts to the tutor the man got to work teaching both dragons their new move. As Khaleesi did not know 4 moves yet she was a bit easier to train but Mama between being more tame and knowing 4 moves had to forget how to use Sand Tomb first before she was finally able to master her new move. Once the tutor was done with the training he returnee both Pokemon to Marchbaby who was quite thrilled with their progress as Outrage would surely come in handy in multiple areas of his adventures and against Clair whenever he finally got to battle her.

" Thank you so much, Mama and Khaleesi still need a lot of training but you have been a huge help. I have plenty of other Pokemon who will need your help at some point so I will be back. Be prepared to train more dragons as you can probably tell by now they are my specialty." As he then left the move tutor's house he made his way back to Goldenrod so that he could keep training Mama so that she could be part of his team when the time came to use her in a gym battle.



OOC: Using 10 Sweet Hearts in total to teach Khaleesi and Mama Outrage. Mama forgets Sand Tomb to learn it and Khaleesi only had 3 moves before hand. Updating everything myself.
