It races past the Daycare pasture, not caring that it's exciting all the Pokemon inside.
3 Insight + 2 Survival + 0 Alert -2 distance modifier (5)(4)(5) Shiva hears the commotion outside and peers out a window (if she wants to). She sees first the Scarred Absol racing by just south of the Daycare, heading toward the Falls. Then she sees Nathan on Swiftfire in pursuit! They're obviously going to arrive well ahead of her, but she knows which direction they went.
Alright, seeing on-screen how that special - yes, obviously special - Absol was heading in the same direction that she takes when going to the Daycare, worried her. Even more when she saw Nathan following it! Looks like THIS was the reason why he joined the Running at all...yeah, likely. Strange thing though that almost immediately after him came a weird suspicous person following Nathan going after that one special Absol..., Shiva could not help but to facepalm on this. Must have knoooown he might be in disguise! Must have known he'd take extr caution! No wonder she didn't spotted or found him anywhere yesterday... Wasn't sure that this was him, but who else could it be, actually?
It could be a Stalker, some random mad person or someone secret from the League sanctioned for especially such cases given that Ninja-like appearance, my dear.
....possible.
Probably receiving weird or worried looks from the Daycare owners. "Oh... Sorry, nevermind, it's just that this person in disguise could be one of my party members. Yes, exactly that person. Nevermind... Excuse me for a moment, I'll check how my Pokemon are doing. From the window, I don't want to go out NOW if the most part of town in in chaos!"
Sidelining the curtain decorating the window and taking care not to harm the pottet plant that was standing there, she indeed pretended to do nothing else than look out for her Pokemon in the pasture, when she was actually awaiting whether they pass by here. At all. They should actually, but hopefully not....
How wrong she was though! After what felt like not much more than 30 seconds, that elusive Absol raced by south with quite a speed, it wasn't much more than a white and black flash to her. A few more seconds later, a familiar person on a familiar firely horse rushed by, chasing it. Nice... they riled up alll the Pokemon there, if she wasn't mistaken, she even saw the Eevee she battled earlier glaring ath the intruders in a way that she never expected from this Evolution-Pokemon.
I had somethin' like this in mind:
- Nightshade (Cherubi), startled by the rushing by Absol and person on a fierly horse, jumps directly into Cottonee for safety, remebering how she hosted her in her fluff back when acquirering her from that withered cherry tree. Cottonee allows that again, and is encouraged by the fluffball to restore some of her spirits by leech seeding some energy out of nearby plants (not too much to kill them though!)
- Nightshade does as encouraged, and thanks to the 1XP gained through this, magically learns how to brighten up the sun for additional comfort! Cottonee of course greatly enjoys this, and practices her Growth-move in the sun.

Mechanics:
There is a reason I'm eager to have Sunny Day available before facing the Gym, it has to so with some thinking-outside-the-lame-box (I'll discuss privately with you whether what I have in mind is even possible, Iron.) Since Shiva is currently feeling like a cowardly Snubbull for prefering to stay inside the daycare's safety while the others of her group are brave, the Gym Battle just got more important for Chara Development~
Sighing impercible and preventing the worry (and slight annoyance to be disturbed) grow intense, she slid the curtain back into place and resumed her place on the couch among the Daycare owners
and beside Helios, who was snoring the whole event away. Shiva was not dumb, she took caution that if she'd have to intercept in any means - though she wasn't sure whet emans could lure her to leave the safety of the Daycare - she'd have a fast way to get where she wanted to. THE fastest way was Teleport.
Nor showing any of her concerns on the outiside, resuming drinking tea is it. And turning to Golda. "So... Uhm did I miss anything? Like, any more appearances of that elusive person in disguise?"
---------------
Mechanics:
You stated that the camera went directly on disguised Ven as he 'came back for more!', but Shiva missed that. However, if Golda tells her about this... Chances are she might consider teleporting to the Center to await him there. He HAS to come to the Center at some point, and I fear his disguise is flashy enough that she'd spot him despite chaos inside the Center.
