A feeling of happiness and relief wells up within Terra as he formalized/affirmed his partnership with Mikey, and a wide smile broke out as he firmly nodded his head.
"Then it is settled. We are partner now. Alone, we are strong, but together, we are mighty. May we have many good moments together, and may great fortune be with us, Mikey."
He then reached down and carefully picked seven red flowers from the patch in front of him, pulled out a plastic bag and sealed them up, before standing up and motioning towards Cress at his kick boxing shroom.
"Let us go back to the city. Tomorrow, we can train together with my blood brother Shiranui, and show each other our techniques. How does that sound?"
Presumably they agree (how so is up to you, if you want to do a reaction), and together they head back to Cress. Today was a day full of memorable battles and finished off with a nice evening spent Berry hunting and relaxing. Perfect, really, for the simple monk.
Order: Return to Cress, and have Terra go back to the Pokémon Center and pick up his partners (Assuming they are fully healed by now). Duskull will be going back into the PC along with Genie, while the Dunsparse Eggs stays in his party! He'll then be in the Lobby for a little while, reading over the portfolio Ven gave him, and checking over his Egg while it sits in his lap occasionally. He's available for conversation for anyone in the group right now before he turns into bed, so if you want to have a chat with him about something in particular, just approach him!

I would know. I think this might be above my paygrade, so to speak, aha, but I'll keep researching it and maybe send some of these oscillators along to Professor Laurelin. Don't worry, they are fairly cheap to replace. Quartz is one of the most common minerals on the planet, although it has to be specially prepped through a cheap industrialized process."
"Professor Laurelin? Who's that and what do they specialize in, if I may ask? I only know of Professor Mallorn in this region."
"... I know, it's neat how such a pretty mineral is actually so common, haha." Relatively quick however, Shiva gains a thoughtful expression mixed with a bit shyness as if she wasn't too sure whether it's fine to ask the following or whether it's a good idea at all - but while she now has a suspicion where these lurchs from and this clockmaker is directly affected by them (unwillingly, but still), she thinks that maybe it's alright? She's curious about these lurches, much - though they also give her shivers and anxiety. There's a will within the fae enthusiast to find out more however, she cannot know yet where this will develop and it can only be good to be prepared in case it gets worse or more drastic. H.....Hopefully it, well, doesn't rerail and Pokemon and humans get directly hurt or injured by this...phenomena....!
She nods in agreement of their (the clockmaker - do they actually have a name?) eager to research what has caused this error to the clocks before speaking up again after a small break. "Would you, ehm, mind to stay in contact? I'd enjoy to, and I feel a little...responsible for all this trouble.... We could update each other if we find out more about this or note one another about it, I'd let you know if I stumble over hints what may have happened. Am traveling, so....maybe? Please?"
"I know Mallorn, too. He's more about technology. She's more about biology, actually. So it may sound like I'm sending this to the wrong professor, except Lorellin also studies archaeology, history, cloning, Legendary Pokemon, and Time. She may be able to discover if some kind of Pokemon affected this clock. Now, Mallorn could tell me what has changed about the oscillator, but I already know that, right? So it goes to Laurelin. Plus, she lives in Cress City and works at the Museum. Easy."
"Yes ma'am, we can exchange numbers. My tag is Ivy - IV, get it?" He points to the number "four" on one of his clocks with Roman Numerals. "I'll call you if I learn anything from Laurelin."
A Professor specializing in biology sounds like an interesting person to meet and talk to, in the same breath Shiva is pretty amazed how many field of research Professor Laurelin has. Such versality, bet she's always busy with something! o.o She perks up at hearing that 'Time' also belongs to her interest. "Ohh, sounds like a good choice! Humm, I've been at the Museum but haven't seen a Professor there." Though while Shiva doesn't speak that out, she strongly believes that this is simply because she didn't visit the Section she's dedicated to.
'Ivy'... 'IV'... Pokemon Breeding!~ - That was her initiate thought, how this name is directly related to the clock only comes second. She chuckles lightly over such an ideal name for a clockmaker as they exchange numbers. :>Â "Yes, I'd be happy about you calling! I'll let you know as well if I find something that could be related."
Weird, weird, very weird. Now that the fae enthusiast does have an idea what's behind these scary lurches it was as if they lost a bit of their horror - but she's highly wondering how big Celebi's role is in this phenomena. Involved - definitely if she could believe her gut feeling, but how deeply she's in this and whether the lurches are something truely troublesome or nothing more than a curious natural phenomena Shiva could only guess. Maybe...only maybe, this all was even a good sign in the means of 'Celebi returned to Cress City??'
Overthinking won't bring her far, so for now she thankfully bids goodbye to
the clockmaker Ivy. "Until then! Thank you a lot for your time, I look forward to hear from you again or message/call you myself."
With that said and done, today's visit of the Violet Tent finds an end, Shiva has stopped to count how often she's dwelled at this place already. After inhaling some fresh air and stretching her arms, she makes her way back to the Center - mostly to accept Yena back and wait for Nathan as they agreed to start tutoring Electro Web today, this will take her last free Encounter Slot as well as one of his.
What time of the day is it by now however? Since Nathan's still busy though, I guess I can do something in the Center that won't take an Encounter to pass the time - if I may.

(If Shiva approaches him asks him that, he'll just hand over the flowers and say that he found them while hunting for Berries, and though you might like them. He'll also say that he's waiting on Nathan to speak with him about something, but not elaborate on what.)
That'll work perfectly and while she wouldn't have expected to have these flowers handed to her she greatly appreaciates it and graces that mountain of a man with a thankful smile. "How pretty they are!~ Good find. I'll let you know in case they're useful, alright?" It'd be rude to ask what they need to talk about; unless it affects the whole group she's fine to not know things.
This also means that she's heading upstairs to dorm in the meantime to take a look at the plants and do what she wanted to/I wanted her to do in a more private setting. Delibird is also placed back into a Box of Bill's PC as she accepts Yena back at her person.
While obligatory dinner is served to her Pokemon (cookies, dried fruit and veggies that can be eaten raw), Shiva spreads these flowers on the table, which rather quickly caught the interest of Cottonee, Nightshade and maybe even Chi because orchids. Can she tell more about these plants Terra found with her high Insight and decent Nature, Iron? Anything is fine; name, possible usage, lore, quirks, whatever.

Maybe that will help Beldum be a little more comfortable with the idea. Maybe.

Some more comforting pets for the fire lion.
"...so, I have a question for you, Pyroar. You were just left here one day, right? Is that something that particularly bothers you?"

With the job finished, Heart takes back the Amulet Coin and give back to Gustav. "Excelent work. With that, I have some good mount of money. I will also put the Alola Geodude in the Shellter for a while to learn to less disobedient. They warn me Geodude have...the tedency of using Lethaly moves even when the foe is fainted. He also have access to Thunder, so thats make twices the danger. I already have put Delta Onix. It may take more time to return to Stair City more than I have imagined. Thanks the Creation Trio I have Natu with me. Come. We have a Beldum for you to fuse."
"...whoa. Seriously, Thunder?! Yeesh, that sounds dangerous...yeah, might want to get a good handle on that Alolan Geodude before you attempt to use him in any battles..."
Nathan shrugs when Heart mentions he'll come to the Shelter with Nathan. "Well, whatever floats your boat if you've got time to kill, I guess."
-------------------------------------
Fast forwarding to the Shelter...Nathan actually wants to check up on Pyroar in addition to Beldum. Get a feel for how they're doing a such.  If Director North isn't too busy, Nathan will also say hi to him.
Beldum is doing exactly what it was doing during Heart's visit: floating from one wall of the clear cage to the other. Impossible to read its emotions.
Pyroar looks to have a little more meat on his bones now. According to Director North, Pyroar has not learned to be comfortable among other Pokemon yet, but he's now to the point where he'll happily eat out of any trainer's hand.Â
Director North seems a lot more relaxed than the last time you met him, since the Disaster-driven work has mostly subsided.
Heart go in the direction of Director North and talk with him. "Sure, could I ask something? I would like to put Geodude in the Disobedient training please. Since he know Thunder, it would be dangerous to let him go wild. Since I have Onix here, they could make company. Its just for a while."
Actually, Geodude already has 2 Loyalty.
http://pokemonuranium.co/forum/showthrea...p#pid35928
"We've already sent Geodude through all the training that can be had at Adventure Camp in order to improve his loyalty and obedience. You can still send him to camp, but we can't guarantee he'll obey more orders. It would give him time to play with Onix, if you wanted, but I'm afraid the only way he'll learn to control his more destructive urges is by spending some time in the real world, and traveling with a trainer."
"If you say so sir, then I guess we will work together for more a little time." Heart then aproach Nathan/
and talk with him. "I guess this is it. I going to challenge Zamboni. Going to Ginger Town soon."
Before anything, Heart also text a message to Shiva/ to talk with her:
Hey Shiva! Heart here. I finish the trades and got some cool trades: A Spinarak close to evolve, a Silk Scarf and the Elemental Punchs TMs (Fire, Thunder and Ice). Gonna teach Golett a few soon. Maybe Rose too.

(It's not priority to loan the Silk Scarf for me, a Day spent in Corsage Port comes first. ^^; )
That message completely throws Shiva off guard for a reason and she almost drops cell. Eeeeeeeeehhhhhh, bad timing! Sighing a little to herself and hugging Snivy Plushie tighter, she quick-types a resonse anyway out of courtesy.
Yes, hi. I don't know which trades you mean by 'the trades', but it's neat to hear that you've got good loot for it. (How 'A Spinarak close to evolving gives her cold shivers she doesn't share.) Anythingelse? You got the cash for Harylect already...? I can send him to you at ealiest tomorrow morning.

(6)(2)(6)(6)(1)(2) (4)(4)(4)(6)(6)Â
Shiva knows pretty much everything there is to know about these.
It's called a Battle Nasturtium. The red ones are for victory according to the Kimono Girls, as you already know. It's quite hard to keep them from cross-pollinating each other and changing color. Since this one is a wild variety, with the thorns and all that, it's even more miraculous this one is so pure red.
It can be used to soothe muscle pain and swelling, though it takes an awful lot of these petals to produce a usable amount of salve.
This flower was bred for Sarimanok's gardener, who you've heard of even in Unova. When you came here you've been slowly piecing together who exactly he worked for. The gardener is Kim Nao, who traveled the world before ending up at Sarimanok's court. He bred the Battle Nasturtium's in honor of Sarimanok's Legendary Trio, particularly its unknown Leader.
White Battle Nasturtium is considered useful because you can dye it the other colors. It's also the most easily crossbred, though.Â
It's not too picky about soil, but it needs a lot of nutrients, wherever it's planted.

Beldum looks a little appeased, though of course it's hard to tell.
Pyroar, though, is easy to read. This is obviously a difficult topic for him. He looks very sad. His mane droops. He fidgets one paw against the other and his heat decreases a lot. He makes himself feel a little better by sneering at Beldum.
