If you wanted to get Ventus' help, you'd have to wait until the Encounter was over.

Chinchou Round 1
Vine Whip 1
(4)(3)(5)(4)(6)(2)(2)(5)
(4)(2)(1)(5)(2)(6)(5) Chinchou takes 4 dmg 1/5hp -3 pain.
It's not even attacking in return, just squirmin' to get away. I'll give Yule a free Grapple action with that Vine Whip. Normally it should be a separate action if you want to move a Pokemon.
(4)(6)(3)(4)(5)(4)(3)(6) Chinchou is hauled out of the water.
Vine Whip 2
(2)(2)(2)(4)(3)(5)(4)
(4)(6)(1)(4)(1) Chinchou faints
Pokeball: (6)(1) vs (3)
Easy peasy. Yule gains 2XP and Nathan gains 1Xp.
Chinchou was caught!

Water Gun, Supersonic, Thunderwave, Flail, Bubble Beam, Signal Beam, Aqua Ring, Charge.
Looking at it, seems Yule OHKOed another pokemon with a critical, SE attack. Forgot to add the SE part to my calculations. Second Vine Whip wasn't even necessary. Whoops.
End result: Yule's doing awesome.
Nathan gives Yule a very appreciative pat on the head after bagging that Chinchou. "Great job, buddy. Really pulling your weight right now."
Nathan looks over the water with Calam (Alert increases to 1 for 6 exp since Nathan's being far more wary and cautious than usual!).  Does he see Sharpedo anywhere?
Sharpedo's fin is currently on the other side of the lake, at the edge of your light source. Just circling.

Alright, looks like they're fine...for now.Â
Time to meet back up with everyone else and get a move on again. Chinchou gets sent to the PC. Nathan will have to think about what he wants to do with the angler later...Calam will probably warn everyone if Sharpedo does come closer for some reason...
Ralts gives Nathan a curious look. This is...different from how Nathan usually is...
Turned out neither Gothy's nor Ven's help in this catching process was necessary anyway.
Awwwwww, it was an incredibly sweet feeling to pick up a Pokeball containing a shiny exemplar, way sweeter than chocolate, well aware that the shiny exemplar has her OT and ID now. Yay! Shiva won't shout it from the rooftop however, she's not the type of person who'd do so. Frillish gets send to to Bill's PC, where it can stay until Shiva has found a good trade partner for it.
K then... Yena gets withdrawn into his Pokeball after a last stroke as a thank-you. Throwing a glance over what Nathan was doing not too far away from her by the lake, she lets her gaze absent-mindedly wander over the water surface for a little - before she'll turn around to return to the others and in particular Heart and Valder to welcome her Furret back from them.
From what Shiva could tell, it seems like Dizzy has calmed a little, he seems to be aware that this Sharpedo Nathan mentioned was no obvious threat - for now.
Once you let me know how many chara-XP Shiva gained, I'm fine with moving onward!~ If Heart or Valder are willing to share the Hurtloam as agreed, that can be done at some later point, I'm in no hurry. Dinner calls anyway.
Yena got 2XP for his evolution, and Shiva gained 1XP.
Carrying on down this tunnel, Mr. Finder guides you through some unusual passages, like crevices or vertical passages. The climbing gear makes it pretty easy.
Pokemon are starting to get scarcer. The cavern you're in now is studded with tons of stalagmites and stalactites. Wherever one has fallen down, there is a hole and a twisting tunnel beyond. Mr. Finder says they lead up or down to other layers, occupied by some kind of Pokemon he has never smelled before.

Nathan has to stop for a moment when the group walks past a particular wall.
He thought he saw something that...looked funny. But it's kinda hard to tell at a glance in this dim light. He'll have to take a closer look...
"Swiftfire, come over here for a sec...Calam, you stay over there by Mr. Finder.
Ventus, could I see those digging tools real quick? I think there's something in this wall..."

After Heart and Valder have success in their search for Hutloam, he decided to join with the others. With the help of Rose, Heart the job was a little more easily. "Also Shiva, I did remember you have use one of these Hurtloams in our battle against that horse of Ground Pokemon. Here, I found two there, so you can have one." Then Heart give one Hurtloam to Shiva hands. When Heart give Shiva the Hurtloam, he heard a swing of wings sowere in the cave. Heart then glipse a couple of Gligars. But then he notices something: They are holding something, like items! "Guys, gonna take a look there. That Gligars is holding some items. If anyone would like to join me, feel free." If someone join, Heart summon Koa (
feel free to join if you want). If no one join, he will summon both Koa and Patrat.

Huh? At her name being called, Shiva does visibly perk up, she still enjoys the afterglow of having caught her very first shiny Pokemon to the upmost - emotionally that is, on the outside it barely shows as that held-back delight on her expression and body language could come from everywhere. It's such a pleasant feeling!
The gift of that Hurtloam from Heart came rather swift, she might have not expected it - true, she showed interest in that stream and managed to determine that it'll possibly contaon some of that elusive mud, but... Anyway, she appreciates it greatly from Heart, as it shows that he paid attention to what she did. Awww. Now, she failed on holding back the blush out of flattery, but she still managed to speak normally and in full sentences. "T...Thank you, Heart! Indeed, I...used the one I got on Cottonee already, it was painful to see her fainting...back then...." Ugh, now that the image came back to Shiva's mind, she shuttered and appreciated the gift a little more.
It gets safely packed away then, onwards they all go.
When Heart mentioned Gligars a little later, she shuttered again - more batlike Pokemon! She makes a hand gesture of gently denying in joining him, letting her gaze wander in the cavern for a little, eventally placing herself down somewhere where it seems safe to do so, after all that walking she appreciates a little break.
When a horde of Spinda however comes dropping down not far from her, she's scared witless.

(I guess it's alright then to move on...? As said, if you want to join here, Nylon, feel free to do so when you come by!)
That instant startle Shiva felt from the suddeness these Pokemon appeared from...seemingly the ceiling full of holes that Shiva stared up to in wonder somewhat quickly faded as it turns out to be a bunch of Spinda! Instantly, she puts her hands together in joy and silently admires the CUTENESS these Pokemon emit - to her, they look like vivid plushies, very confused and weird plushies, but cute nevertheless! She's also aware of the lore about one particular Spinda featuring a spot in the shape of a heart, a tale of a it leading a woman to a meadow of flowers where she met her fiance who was this Spinda's owner surrounds it. Her heart almost melted away when she read about this as a young girl.
Shiva will watch these Spinda for a little, but not too long to actually get confused by them and their 'dancing'/walking. What do they do, how do they behave, are they shy towards humans or not?
EDIT: Then Valder came and attacked the horde of cutesy pandas she was just observing. Oh, well.... Damn.
--------------------
Mechanics:
My aim is obtaining one with Tangled Feet Ability for obvious reasons, after having watched these Spinda for a little I wanted to have Lilith use Flatter on them all (this move auto-confuses as well as lowers their Strength by 1), then see which ones seems to walk more disorientated = pointing to Tangled Feet and which ones don't seem to care = Own Tempo Ability. Is that possible, does that sounds feasible for Shiva?
Valder will fight a Spinda. Theo's up, and he'll slash the panda hooligans away with something that actually does fit the night.
If that didn't make sense, I want Theo to spam night slash. Without Lethality
power: 9.
accuracy: 6.
High critical hit chance!
