All their stock was sent to discount stores, and you can get a few of their older things still on the floor below this one. Some of these Pokemon came from the raids, and they were apparently badly mistreated. They were only kept for their moves, people say."
"Solrock is supposed to be a relaxed Pokemon, but this one has become aggressive because it was expected to work long hours moving things around with its mind. The sad part is, that's about all it knows how to do. A good owner would be someone who can find it a new purpose in life."
"Gorebyss seems to have undergone some kind of treatment to make it longer, but that made it sick. She's really very sweet and motherly toward that Egg."
"O....Oh, I'm... sorry...." That's what Shiva quitely mutters as the Shelter Staff updates her on the Solrock and Gorebyss. She's obviously sympathizing quite a lot for those two especially, and has a bad feeling about some other Pokemon on the list. Both shows in her body language and voice. "Those poor beings..."
"So, and... How much is the fee to adopt these two, just...asking? Money shoud not be an issue, I'm just...unsure, you see. Solrock would probably do well to work with someone or somewhere where heavy lifting is done, helping someone building a house or a cabin. So that it can make creative use of its skills and are rewarded with gratitude.... Humm." Shiva's mood lights up a little over hearing how sweet the deep-southern-see-dweller is towards their Egg. "That's cute! What color is the Egg, how does it look like? And has Gorebyss been introduced to a Pokemon Doctor already, do they rely on particular medicines or vitamins? Can they still be expected to participate in Pokemon Battles?"
Let's flashforward also to Shiva visiting the floor below to check out the older goods of Almanac sold there!~ She's just looking around, seeing whether anything catches her's or her Pokemon's eye.
"Solrock is very easy to care for. We'll release her for free if you also adopt another Pokemon. Otherwise, $600 will be alright. Gorebyss is much more expensive to care for. Her adoption fee is $2500 and she needs $200 of medicine every day. She can battle but she shouldn't be subjected to Lethal moves or damage, even if held back."
Most of the Almanac stock is older stuff, that you have already seen. There are new games, including a Brawl game where you play as a Legendary and fight other Legendaries. The synthetic evo stones are available, but they are currently the same price as a normal stone of the same kind. The biggest difference is that synthetic Dawn, Shiny, and Moon stones are available (5k). They're marked with a warning that these are not League-tested.
Heart gather everyone around him and say to his friends. "So....it was a great battle my friends...but it is time to part ways. We save the whole Region. But...Cosh mentioned something. In Stair City, he mentioned a friend of his who can help me unlock my Earthpower potential...and mine too."
Heart look to Moltres Egg. "Moltes, what I should do? Should I listen to Cosh? Give me a signal about what I should do."
When Heart see Ventus he couldn't believe in his eyes. "Ventus? Is that you?" He almost couldn't believe it. He gave his old friend a big hug. "Heya! It's me, Heart! I a...a little different since last time we meet." Heart was with Amber fire eyes, a little more bulk, and with the fire in his arms.
Heart, when you hold the Moltres Egg, you receive a powerful feeling of trust. When you mention Cosh, it instantly changes to distrust.
However, you feel the heat rising within the Egg and you know there is true power to be obtained in following Cosh's advice.

"...." Heart was left silence. "*Sigh* Moltres...you gave me purpose, and a reason to fight. You are my partner, and I your guardian. I will not put you in risk. Following Cosh advise might put you in danger."
"But...follow the advice also might unlock my full Earthpower potential, and help to break the curse of those Kadabra people...can I have your permission to go forward in this mission? And it is a good idea to go along it. A yes or no will be enough."

Of course Shiva's somewhat sad about the PUNisher's words, and it shows as she lets her head hang a little and avoids to face him. Whimsicott mirrors this mildly and quickly cuddles up to Shiva in an attempt to comfort her, which earns the fluffball some loving and grateful strokes through her wonderfully soft cotton.
And then, as if something fell into place within her, Shiva looks up and gifts Heart an comprehensible smile. 'We saved the whole region' - these words echo back in her mind and remind her on what they've gone through to become strong enough to be capable of such an accomplishment. "I... I see, Heart...", she quitly says, some sadness still noticable in her voice. " ...And it's fine. After all we've endured and survived together, it's okay to follow one's own path for a while... But!" She lights up, "This is not goodbye forever, nonono, we can still call each other or meet up from time to time, and, uhm, we... We'll surely see one another when we're ready for the E4, yes!
And... l-let us know when your Moltres has hatched, will you? I'd be happy to see the young one! ^_^"
She also gets a hold of Heart's hand and gives it a gentle squeeze. "Me and Nathan will depart towards Garlicburg soon. I'm wishing you all luck and success... And take care about unlocking the true potental of your highened bond with Earthpower, please don't bring yourself in danger. Such power, set it free only when you're
certain that you're able to handle it, alright?"

This Solrock surely catches Shiva's eye, such a beautiful and unique Pokemon, and she's enjoying the species's association with the sun. "What a waste of their precious psychic powers, letting it move stuff around for long hours...", she mutters to herself. Towards the Shelter Staff she says "I really like this Solrock... But I don't think I have anything I can offer to it right now that could become it's new purpose. I'm so sorry... But I'll keep an eye open whether something comes up or if I meet someone who could be interested in this special Solrock! I will get back to you in that case, is that fine?"
Then Shiva puts 200$ on the counter. "N-neither do I think I can properly care for poor Gorebyss right now-" ('Especially since there's also a Pokemon with health problems you're eying', Shiva's inner voice adds) " -but please let me pay for one dose of her daily medicine, that's the least I can do."

Ugh, Brawl Games. Shiva sucks at these and they aren't really her taste. But she's looking at these Synthetic Evo Stones with interest and curiosity! Them not being League-tested would not keep from buying them and experimenting if she'd be in need for a Dawn, Shiny or Moon Stone for her Pokemon, but she isn't at the moment so there is no reason for her to buy one.

"Relax Shiva. No chance in hell I will let you two go alone to Garlicburg. You might need someone with stealth skills. And my clan is specialist in that. Besides..." Lancelot the Doublade summon himself and was hold by Heart. "...This could be a good chance of Lancelot use his blades soon. I still need to break the Kadabra curse. A person said about if I help someone, Doublade might see me as someone worth, and he might evolve. Helping those Kadabra is something to do."
Heart also check his PC and release the Pokemon who was imprisoned in the jails in the Skull Ruins. Including Medichan and the other Hypno. "Sorry for taking so long in release you all. Things get complicated. I keep my promise. You all free."

You get one pulse of heat - the standard for Yes.

Most of them scurry off, but the most charismatic of the fighting Pokemon turns around just before leaving and gives you a nod. If you're ever in trouble, this Pokemon will definitely be there for you.
It is now Day 84.
I must scoot off to rehearsal, but I'll leave you with two hints about the day:
You'll each get a reward of $75,000. Some of this is in cash and some is in goods, but you can treat it all as cash. Terra only gets $30,000, but he also gets the lease for a nice lab, lots of basic materials, and a fleet of qualified lab assistants from Botanville.
There now exists in Creshire a Master Move Tutor of each type. They tend to be in places that make sense - for example you've already met the Steel Tutor in Stair City. Gym Leaders of the relevant type may also know where the Masters are.
Master Move Tutors can teach any level up move of their type for 75$ per XP. This replaces the need to grind.
You can also spend this money on Vitamin Regimens. They are $20,000 and add a stat boosting surprise of your choice, to one Pokemon, over the course of a week.
Mallorn has more for you in his package, but I'll type that up some other time. I have rehearsal and a work conference so it might be a sec.
