"I was also thinking he was probably not human, for it seems he possessed real power. Perhaps some sort of Pokemon? Either way I'm sure he won't get involved in something like this, but knowledge of him might lead us to more knowledge of the magic of the Scimitars. Shiva, do you know anything about their magic?"

Following one of my suspicions, we were easily able to confirm that the Scimitars were not in fact Pokemon. So we're still stuck with this strange conflict that humans can't work magic. Didn't you say you met a strange magical orange man in the Great Divide?"
It seems like now, with the ice broken and an emotional+stress-induced breakdown has been for now prevented from happening, Shiva felt fine to actually speak more words. Rather hesitant though, as she does remember how she accidently messed with Dagny before they all departed into direction Arrowroot Village, as well as how Nathan soft-told her what to do when they reunited in the Gym after the threat of the vines has been taken care of.
"W...Why shouldn't it be possible that humans work magic? It's relatively easy to pretend being a Psychic with the right Pokemon, but nevertheless - this does not mean magic does not exist, does it? Uhm... Eh, back to topic, yes, we met that eremit you are refering to at the cave of the Tusk... He is NOT a mage though, but most likely not human either, I actually don't know either. Earthpower is his speciality, however that's not magic nor trickery but instead...natural... I mean... natural strength within all of us. Nature."
Reminding herself on that elusive natural strength, the one that resides within everyone and every Pokemon as well as conecting them all, eased Shiva's nerves to a good amount. Though, in such times she felt weak and vulnerable, that natural strength seemed to run low... Or was it just out of sight, hidding? On the other hand, this natural strength was which she can rely on in such hard times - can she??
"Well to put in sort simple way it could be similar to chakra, Chi or mana. A natural energy who is inside in every living thing, and can be used by anyone: Human or Pokemon. Of course its not magic, just some sort of ability. It just a simplify example. We dont understand much what is Earthpower."

Now Shiva's gaze met Valder's stern gaze. "Uhm... No, can you enlighten me about that one, please?"

 Valder is now anxious.
Shiva still does not see herself as a 'strong Trainer'. Not even with Ice Beam within her rows! But she'd be happy to help Phantump learn a new move, so she gives Heart a soft glance and a hinted nod, expressing that she's agreeing. When there's be time for that though... Well, time will tell. Time does ALWAYS tell.
"Eh... Me, knowing about their...magic? Nope, sorry, nothing. I'd wish I'd do though, before they messed with me. But following the Elemental order, there must be Fire and Air Scimitars too in addition to Water and Earth. Eventually even a subgroup standing above them, 'Aether' - that's a subtle primal vitality and a presumed fifth element."
"I... do own a book about the Element Earth though, but it's very surely Earth LORE, not magic. Explains how to calculate power spots within Chresire, where to find them, such things."

That anxious demaneour from Valder did worry her a little, but she did not express that on the outside. "Certainly you can. If your...boss allows?"
She casts a questioning look to Ven. She feels safe to speak with Valder alone if he desires this, but the question was Ventus/
fine with this too? He probably was, but Shiva wanted to be sure after she has been targeted by the Scimitars.

"I can tell ya all about what a Relic Stone is from what I know of Orre's history, if that's what you're asking. It is what Hyperiac was probably referring to, after all."

Not for the Doc. - well, if he IS a real Pokepsychologist, maybe a little for him as well, as he WAS a dear guy, and these purple suits do look good on him - , but more for herself.
"I'd agree to that... I'd be happy to search for and find that Key, followed by the Secret Library. But...no need to rush things, there's still business in Stair City I would like to finish... For example a Gym Battle." At these words, Shiva's soft yet currently subtly agonized gaze meet Dagny's harsh and stalwart gaze. Fae faces Steel. But the fae is armed with fire to melt the steel.
"I have a gym battle I want to do too, but we need to probably move quickly once we're done with our various business here in Stair. How many more battles do you have left to do in the Little Cup?"

"...forgive me for jumping in, but I did mention that I think he's some sort of representation of an aspect of nature when we returned. In this case, the earth. He's definitely not human. Humans can channel only a little of the kind of power he wields at best. Use it to remove curses and create healing circles and the like, but only if a ton of effort is put into focusing and improving those skills. Pokemon are where the Earthpower's presence is most apparent. The Scimitars...they're not using anything of that kind, according to the old man when I asked him about it. They're using technology, not magic. Advanced technology, but technology nonetheless. It's definitely not natural."

"Hey, please don't give me such a look, Nathan. Gothy has foreseen that we will meet what can deal with the Vines there where the constellations met, I'm sure she'll be a valuable companion."
(Day 47 will contain Shiva's 4th of 6 workshifts, if I noted things correctly. Do correct me when I'm wrong here,

"...oh."
...
"...well, you gave it your best...getting that far still isn't easy, so...good job."
...
"...what? No, I'm not judging you for wanting to adopt that Gothitelle at all! I don't doubt she'll be a valuable ally to have! No less than a Kingdra and a Rotom, that's for sure!"
...
*sigh*
...
"...well, I suppose it works out a little better that way anyways, if we're going to be here for another few days. Gym battles are exhausting things, so we couldn't ALL challenge her on the same day, let alone two days in a row."
"I've never heard of anything like that either, something pulled out of thin air to represent a force. Could be interesting."

"Neither have I, but I don't think all five of us and all of our pokemon were hallucinating and seeing the exact same thing simultaneously, so...
"Plus, he DID make the soil in and around the Skull Ruins less...bountiful, which is what killed off the vines's ability to grow so rapidly, and that's not exactly something anything but a being of immense power with strong ties to what they're controlling would be able to do. We still have to deal with that golem, though, and I have suspicions it might be similar in nature to the Legendary Titans..."
"...*sigh*...well, a problem for another day, I suppose..."
...
*ACHOO!*
*sniffle*
Nathan had been trying to hold that one in for awhile. Fortunately, he was able to cover his nose and mouth just in time.
