"Eee, I could use that Smore to heat my cauldron. My Ledyba all knows Silver Wind. They can make it windy windy windy! Watch how they stoke the cauldron fire. Come back every fifteen minutes and they'll do it again. And you can think about how they did it, or whatever!"
Maria tickles Smore and introduces the bug to her other bugs. "Bugs are the best type. Maybe someday I'll go to Smore's home."
"Ah, 400$ is fine as well, but not one penny less! That's a deal? ...Yes? Great!~ Let us quick head to a Trading Machine then if you're having a spare minute."

With a big smile Shiva accepted the full vial containing the precious potion, immediately uncorking it with a low *plopp* and carefully taking a whiff of it. If the free sample was already spicy smelling, the full thing could only be more pungent! But somehow she enjoyed the smell. "So... It seems to kick in immediately, so it's best taken at a late hour when feeling the desire to get some sleep, right? It's very rare for me to stay up until very late, though I've never been a morning person. Something's telling me that this potion will become very useful to me, I'll try to only use it when the opportunity feels right! Thank you a lot for, it Maria." A respectful bow follows that both Raphael and Yena more or less mirror. She's feeling like GREAT THINGS can be expected from this young witchy potion brewer if she's showing skills in this field at a relatively young age already.
"Oh yes, you can certainly expect me returning a few times again to watch your dear Ledyba stoking the fire! It greatly helps me to see the move being used several times to gain a better picture of it. After all, the Pokemon does have to understand what you wish for it to do."
Indeed, Shiva ends up returning 4 times, means she has seen Silver Wind being used by three Ledyba 5 times in total and has spend 1 more hour here within the Violet Tent. With the basic knowledge how a Pokemon could stir up a wind due to having used Fairy Wind very often, I guess she's now free to start Tutoring for Tricwe? (When however, is something I don't know yet)
During the spare minutes, Shiva is strolling random booths, collecting some more free samples and enjoying the book from the traveling librarian.

All objectives are completed, half of her Team (if Dizzy and Egg aren't counted) is now given to other people while she got something nice in return! Very cool and I'm glad that everything worked and ended up pleasantly, thank you.

All great things do find their end though at some point just like misery does, but Shiva does feel that she managed to accomplish a lot during this visit of this infamous Violet Tent as she stepped out into the fresh air again and takes a minute to inhale a deep breath and stretch herself. Her weird butterwolfly joins in this and contently outstreches all his legs from the joint to the clawtips before eagerly yawning while showing his nasty teeth to the world and ending everything by flapping his wings once. He then looked up to his alpha female and the white flying Pokemon with a wagging tail and tongue hanging from his mouth, curious where they'll head next. Chuckling a bit over such eager in her doghyena, Shiva strokes a litte through his black neckfur. "How sweet that you're still up and about, Yena. Oh, and no, we're by far not yet finished with things. Let us head to the Pokemon Center first though where I can fill my party again." Naturally the serene archangel with her didn't get away without a few dear strokes through his featherly coat as well.
"And how are you doing, Raphael? Are you....having a good time so far by accompanying me?" A half handful of dried berries is silently offered to him, does he take food from Shiva's hand?
What time of the day is it by now actually? (I wanted to use the last Encounter Slot for a battle to i.a. try the out the Goodra Scale right away, before planting the Kirlia Slipper at Celebi Park and catching the news of Jo's Battle, that'll be all actions of the current day then from my side. If time gets scarce, Shiva can always stay at Celebi Park and observe the news of her Battle via cell with connection to the internet, I guess.)
