"I don't mind saying I'd be happy to communicate with you after I vanish. I will think about the rest of what you said. But I want you to think about what I said, too. I want to hear a plan to get me and all my Pokemon out of here if that's what I decide to do. Can we agree there?"
That's all she'll give you at this point, but she will arrange a drop point somewhere where you can leave messages for each other.

Nathan slowly nods. He's said what he can for now. He recognizes that.  "That sounds fair. And it should be fairly easy. You want out of the region?Â
If you have a flight capable pokemon you can trust with your life on a journey across the ocean, it's as simple as teaching them the FLY HM, which I so happen to have in my possession at the current time. Then they can take you anywhere you need to go in the blink of an eye, even other regions. You'd be moving too fast for anybody to be able to tell it's you. I think your plan for moving the rest of your pokemon is fairly sound too, so long as nobody takes a long look at my trade records. And if you find yourself needing any more help preparing for that long trip, be it with acquiring supplies or training, I'll be more than happy to help with that too. Just let me know what you decide later. Sound good?"

However, you do see Ansa curled up in one of the comfy chairs that adorn this room. You could probably get her to check out a book for you.
It...seems I have either lost or just can't find the paper where I noted down stuff I want to research in Telperion's library ( ._.) Will either search for it once more or do it all from memory, in the latter case would it be alright to split the researches into various small scenes instead of doing it all in one big like I actually intended?
Ansa being around can be very useful!~ Are Pokemon allowed within the library if they are promised to not disturb other people?
One thing I definitey rememberis Shiva being curious about
this cute stripped bug called Tricwe she caught way down Mount Sentry! She wishes to learn more about this Tandormon in particular: How useful it is, general behaviour and advice to raise an exemplar, potential evolutions and so on. Especially interesting is any relation with sticky stuff, jam or jelly since her exemplar reacted rather oddly when being exposed to that hive gunk Shiva gathered down Seikamater's lair (she has in-chara no idea of Royal Jelly or female exemplars [which her's is] being able into evolve in Seika).
Was also told that Telperion's library has
a huge spiritual section! Much of interest for Shiva. ☆(^v^ )
"I had access to our FLY prototype, but only through my Gauntlet. It's not nearly as good as the legendary Hidden Machine. Will you teach it to Noivern please?"
"With that done, I'll just let you know at our drop point what I decide about the trades. And you will let me know before you embark to find my brother."
Pokemon are welcome throughout Telperion.
You can do the scene however you want, and it's easy enough to come back here anytime with FLY.
Tricwe! They do have books on this very common Tandormon and its supposed relationship to Seikamater. They don't seem to know whether Seikamater is even real, though, and it doesn't say anything about the Royal Jelly. However, by following a trail of books on the biology of other Pokemon such as Vespiquen, you can come up with a pretty good guess as to how it works. Vespiquen does make Royal Jelly, but to her species it is just a nutrient-rich substance a bit like a Rare Candy.
Plenty of advice on raising Harylect, which in Tandor is considered an extremely useful Pokemon for those who are out at night a lot!
Telperion's library has information on Earthpower, on the kind of thing you'd find at the Violet Tent, and on a lot of conjectural mysticism that's never been proven or disproven.
The librarian of the mysticicism section is a Medicham capable of balancing a dozen books on each hand, on its head, and on one foot if necessary.
Pokemon being allowed withing Telperion's library means that
Whimsicott's out and around; either preching on Shiva's head to look into a book she's currently reading in or exploring the bookshelves on her own for anything that might catch her attention. Eventually the fluffball comes across a cute picturesque book called
'A Cottonee's tale' (based on
this one, but the dandelion being a Cottonee and the sparrow being a Pidgey), snatches it out of the shelf and gets comfortable at the nearest table to 'read' (more like 'imitate what Shiva does')
Shiva has enough insight to figure out via this parallel to Vespiqueen that is requires 'something' directly from Seikamater to get another Seikamater, and that this 'something' must be some sort of royal jelly. Humm... The simple
THOUGHT of another Seika however sends chills and shivers down the fae-enthusiast's spine.
This Pokemon called
Harylect she's finding rather cute for a bugmon! And it has an interesting and unique Type!! She points out and shows an image of this Mon to her smol Tricwe: "Look at that, my dear one! (◕‿◕) This is what you'd look like if you were to evolve. You'd gain a secondary Electric Type too. Would you be interested in evolving, are you up to work with me to learn Wild Charge?"
Now that Shiva's already in researching about Tandormon, can she find out more information about
Minicorn? How to properly raise one, potential evolutions, curiosities, why it got extinct in Chreshire, things like that. This is also where she can (and will) stumple upon
Miasmedic, that unique poisonous fairy of Tandor!! What can she learn about it via books?
Tandor bugmon don't normally have the impulse to evolve into Seikamater, so it is your Tricwe's goal to become a Harylect someday.
Minicorn's evolutions are simple and well documented: a Dusk Stone to become the intimidating Oblivicorn, or a Shiny Stone to become sweet (but powerful) Kiricorn. Both have Mega Evolutions. These evolutions both require strong-willed trainers, but Shiva is one of the strongest trainers in Creshire so that won't be a problem.
Minicorn was extirpated in Creshire (and almost in Tandor) when humans first began expanding. Minicorn need big fields of flowers far away from powerlines and smog. Even the early Creshire folk who now live in Arrowroot created too much campfire smoke for Minicorn to stick around.
Miasmedic is considered quite a cursed Pokemon by most. No one ever knows if it will cure a disease or cause it. It evolves with certain smelly herbs, but this author doesn't know which. The herbs were used to ward off the horrible scent of plague-ridden bodies. It's an example of Pokemon evolving to fill a niche in nature, even if the niche is created by humans.
....!!!!! ヽ(°〇°)ノ There are TWO evolutions of sweet Minicorn, and BOTH even have a Mega Evolution?!! This is something that immediately catches Shiva's interest. She eagerly soaks up any info and takes clean notes. She doesn't see herself as 'one of the strongest Trainers in Chreshire', but this thing about having to be strong-willed...? Humm, yes, she...isn't super-willed on the outside nor is it a distinct character trait of hers, but she'll push through any obstacles if she puts her heart into it. T-that should work out!~ ☆(>v< )
Poor smol and dear Minicorn, being almost extirpated in its homeregion. Reading about this makes her suddenly worry about the exemplar she left in Primal Lurantis' care for safety why she faces Deoxys Prime along the others... She'll likely pay a visit very soon.
Learning about this.... 'Miasmedic' makes Shiva hold back a chuckle - NOW she found out why her tiny fairybird was so interested in that curious Herb with it's pungent yet nice scent, haha!~ Summoning smol Spritzee to herself, Shiva holds her close and deeply locks eyes with her fairy; Spritzee chirps in question. "Appearantly you are able to evolve into something different than a sweet Aromatissee, my dear one! You'd gain a... *held-back gulp*...secondary Poison Type too. All thanks to this Aromatic Herb I found and let you have..." Eager chirping and Spritzee cuddling up to Shiva in thanks comes as a response. "You... You'd still be my dear fae though, right? The reputation of this unique evolved form isn't the best though." Sad chirping. "You...wouldn't make ME sick, would you?"
--> Is Miasmedic even safe to be around? Is smol Spritzee herself interested and ready into evolving into this 'cursed' form?
I think Spritzee would pick up on Shiva's nervousness around Poison types and be a little worried that their friendship would be affected. But most Pokemon are interested in evolving into a stronger form. Spritzee nibbles on your ear to show that she knows not to hurt you.
And one thing you've learned on this journey is that a lot of scary Pokemon have a bad reputation that isn't entirely deserved.
Such an
adooooorable*:・゚✧ behaviour from Spritzee, she receives lots of cuddling and petting from Shiva. Her voice as she responds is incredibly soft and reassuring, and quiet enough to not get annoyed looks from other people in the library. "
Worried that you gaining a second Poison Type will make me scare away from you...? Yes, that's understandable... *gentle patting*
But, even as you're evolved, it'll...still be you, right? Of course it will be...." Shiva smiles softly as if to reassure this point to smol Spritzee as well as to herself.
"
......Let us work on getting you evolved then, shall we? ( ÒωÓ)و☆
A poisonous fairy...Â
It sounds both so dangerous yet so curious..." Shiva also shivers a little as it also sounds like a nightmare having come true for Ventus.
Next topic to research on! That's the last one I remember from memory.
--> Primal Eevee and its evolutions, preferably anything related to behaviour and why/how Eevee went from that predator with matted fur to the small fuzzy creature it is today.
--> This 'Eevee' that is mutated or mid-evolution that's been depicted in a mural in the Ancestor Cave near Cress City.
