Solomon eyes that bug carefully as well. Â Hmmm...he might have to change tactics a little for this one...
Nathan raises a curious eyebrow. Â "A Foretress? Â Where'd ya pick up that one from? Â Hoenn's Safari Zone?"

The disciplined monk could only frown thoughtfully at your questions, before closing his eyes and shrugging.
"If that is the place where they can be found, then yes. Her name's Basteele, and she's the second Pokémon I have ever caught and....permenantly owned."
Pausing at this point, Terra's mind going far back in time as he searched those memories of his first Encounter of her, until he opened his eyes and began to speak at length about it.
"Years ago, I was traveling through the wild, just me and Shiranui. We found a new place to explore, and.....stumbled onto her hanging from a tree. She was...mad that we were.....trespassing on her home, so we ended up fighting. It was a....tough battle, but Shiranui and I won in the end. After that, I decided to catch her since she was so....
bold and full of potential, and ever since we have been together..."
He finished that short tale without much ceremony, looking at you with characteristic calmness. From what could be told, it appears that Terra just.....wandered into the Safari Zone by complete accident, meet/fought/captured her, and then end up wandering out of the place without a clue of where he had been. Wow.
"I have more stories to share about her, but later. Now, we will continue fighting. Get ready, Basteele."
The bold bombshell nodded vigorous at her partner'scommand, already looking ready and raring to trounce her opponent and win!

Solomon staggers a little as the armored bug bites him. Â And bites. Â And bites.
But to his surprise, he's still standing at the end of it all. Â Even though those attacks were just a little more powerful than he was expecting them to be, he's still standing.
Solomon eyes his opponents carefully again. Â Hmmm...
Well, suppose he has to finish this now, doesn't he? Â He certainly won't pass up the chance if they're giving it to him.

"
I withdraw Basteele, and she will not be a part of our battle anymore. Victory goes to the King this round," Terra abruptly says, his voice elevated as it cuts through the din of combat. He then walks forwards to where his battered bug lay struggling to maintain consciousness, and in a feat/display of monsterous Strength,
lifts her straight up and carries her off the battlefield, going back to his original spot and placing her right beside him. He didn't see a point in letting her get Fainted next round, since Sturdy had already procced at this point and he didn't want her to suffer unnecessarily punishment. Tough and dull trainer as he was, he wasn't stubborn or simple enough to try his luck with such poor odds of success.
For her part, the bold bombshell briefly gave her partner as angry stare for dragging her out of that fight and not letting her to TRY and finish that bulky water off, but then let out a tired *huff* and just conceded to their will, closing her eyes to lightly rest where she was at. She was too slow and worn out to do anything to that pink sloath before it drowned her, bare extraordinary luck, and she can take a certain amount of pride knowing that she had not taken mercy on them and Held Back her attacks, they would have been Fainted by now! They better be grateful for that.....
The rugged wanderer then plucked another Pokeball from his belt and quietly summoned
Michael onto the battlefield, who immediately got battle ready and eyed Solomon with a fierce determination. Looks like he's fighting Nathan and his royal scholar Solomon, but unlike the last time he fought against a Water/Psychic type, he would not be horribly crippled or tag teamed on! Time to see just how far he has come since then, and what sort of POWER his kick boxing and punches will have under his new martial master!! ORAH, ORAH!!!
'Mikey's' Music:Â
Meta Ridley Battle Theme (Metriod Prime)
Solomon quietly nods and relaxes a little when the Foretress is withdrawn. Â Of course, he's expecting to be fainted by whatever comes ne...
...Michael? Â Huh?
Solomon's rather confused for a moment. Â Not actually Confused (he does have Own Tempo, after all), but still definitely wondering what the heck the mushroom is doing with this trainer...
"Worry about it later, Solomon. Â Do what ya can, alright?"
Solomon nods and faces the mushroom fighter. Â Well, here goes...
Michael: (6)+7 = 13
Despite the name, Slowking has more Dex.

Solomon blinks a few times again. Â He's still standing? Â His plan worked?
...er, yeah, of course his plan worked! Â Perfectly, in fact! Â Nothing wrong here!
Well...better get ready to continue...phew, he's tired...he's not used to...moving...this fast...he needs to...slow down a little...phew...
...how the heck is he still conscious, again?

Anything else, you ask? Well, there's a little thing, nothing to do with Codename: Dizzy. One of my students is challenging the Champion tonight. Jo Boswe is her name, a real rising star of a trainer. I gave her her first Pokemon, a specially bred Furfrou. I know you aren't one for battling, but if you're interested you could catch the news coverage and get a glimpse of that Furfrou. That's all!"
Now that were news. "You.....your student, you say....." That is said in a lower and faintly wishful tone of voice. So they're indeed taking students - for now though, Shiva's way too shy to ask how to become a student of this sweet Daycare Couple, especially since she hasn't even yet enrolled at Telperion Uni. If she could....work at their Daycare during semester breaks or so to gain a bit more practical experience, that'd be the ultima.......
Cottonee nudging her eagerly brougth her and her mind back from carefully built cloud-castles and to the current room again. "Eh, I'll try to take a look at the news and especially that Furfrou, thank you for the hint! It's...cool that you're also giving out Starter Pokemon... (*gasp* Have they also bred her Cottonee that she received from Professor Mallorn??) Well, if that's all then, give Wir my greets and hear or even see your soon! Expect the gauntlet arriving this morning still."
**click*, followed by an impercible sigh and packing away of cell*
Well, with that done, Shiva makes some room at the table of the dorm. There was one more thing she wanted to do before she can make her way out of the Pokemon Center and towards a particular place here in Cress City: The reviving of 1 Kirlia Slipper, although Shiva draws all three she has collected to check on their state. By now they're probably dried and dormant, but their effect should still be unchanged.
3 successes in a Nature Roll will do it as stated here, and all her Grass Types can watch. There's currently no Pokemon with her who can aid by bringing luck, but maybe a Morning Sun from Nightshade and Raphael will help a little?
"Oh, this was years ago. Jo has been hard at work since then! We'll see if she's got what it takes - at this point I can't really take any credit. She's a hard worker though. I think she'll do well. Bye now!" *click*
Insight + Survival +Â Nature: (5)(5)(5)(4)(2)(6) (6)(3)(4)(4)(6)Â
An incredible success. With the influence of a Morning Sun and Shiva's ministrations, the Kirlia Slipper root greens up within the water. Very soon it will sprout again, as early as tomorrow morning! It can be planted today, and Shiva knows some places in Cress City having the perfect soil types.
