Just to clarify, his air its a mess like usual, he is using black shorts, black green tennis, and his white shirt with PUNisher write on the front. And his Torterra bag. He see the new guy. Larvesta, Caesar, Typhon and Golett was out of their pokeballs to walk for a while. Larvesta snoozing on Heart back. He then finally aproach the guy. Heart too was with the egg on his hands. "Howdy Nathan, howdy Shiva." Heart see the what was right on the new guy. "Oh...so you might be the guy Ventus have mentioned." Heart still need to get use it to the idea. Its not like he hate the guy, but even that guy cant replace the place Ventus have left. He still need to acostumed to that idea.

Even with that, Heart decided to not fall to sadness. "Well, uh, welcome to the team I guess. The name ArcHeart. But you can call me just Heart. Pokemon Rare Collector, comedian and PUNisher in the free time. And unficial cooker of the group. Its nice to meet you." Heart offer his hand.

When Heart walked up to the table and casually introduced himself, Terra went through the whole process of giving them and their picture, though this time he was saved the trouble of asking for their name.

"Greetings. My name is Terra. Terra Sanaa Ismat. Its good to meet you Heart and all your Pokémon too."

On that subject, he didn't recognize ANY of the collector's Pokémon, and decided that instead of awkwardly asking them what they all were and eating up both their time, he'd just look them up in his Pokedex later. He didn't pull it out and scan every 'odd' Pokémon he encountered unless they were wild, as that also seemed rude, and he didn't want to openly display how....clueless he was.

Like with Nathan and Shiva, he extended a challenge to fight Heart, though this time he went into detail to avoid confusing them like with Nathan (and possibly Shiva).

"We need to have a battle, but not today. Today I fight with Nathan....hopefully. We both need to learn more about we and our Pokémon fight, give each other advice or help if needed, and to learn how to fight along side each other in the future."

He then turned towards Nathan and resumed his conversation with them abruptly, like a train going off its tracks.

Definitely a nice change of pace.

Forthright affixes Terra with quite a serious stare.  She's going to hold him accountable for that promise!

Gallade indeed doesn't want Terra to harm himself out of sheer curiosity.  He's still trying to get used to this himself, so he sheathes the blade just as quickly as he unsheathed it.  Fighting with blades attached to your elbows isn't easy, and can also be very dangerous for both the target and the wielder.

"This is your first visit to Cress City, isn't it?  While I don't disagree with your points, battles in this location are not something treated lightly.  They're only typically done for ceremonial purposes.  Well, and self defense if that's ever necessary.  They're not forbidden, but...you might get some strange looks if you have a seemingly random battle within the city limits."

Gallade gives Heart a respectful nod when the collector approaches.

Terra returns the fair or foul weather being stare with genuine soluminity and severity. Promises were meant to be kept, and food was never to be denied to others unless you could not feed yourself otherwise. She would get more treats from him in the future, guaranteed...

The smart boy's counter explanation caused the herculian man to pause and think for a moment, rubbing his chin beard as he did so, before a solution came to him, which he promptly shared with them.


"Ah, I see. Then how about we hold the battle outside of Cress? Won't disturb the people here if we do that."


Seems like he's set on the idea of fighting them today, or at least sometime soon in the future.

He was instructed to show his future companions their photos and hand them over as a means of.....quick indentification, but if she wanted him to keep it, he would.

Patiently, he calmly waited for Shiva to recover from her shock at his question, but internally worried he'd accidently make another social blunder again until she rather forcibly gave her cup of joe to him and began questioning HIM first. This caused him to slowly blink a couple of times in plain surprise at such a turnabout and unexpected gift, but eventually he accepted the sizzling black liquid and began to quietly sip it as he responded to her own inquires.


Normally, he was more or a tea and fruit juice sort of person, but he was NEVER one to refuse gifts of any sort, especially if was an offering of food or drink. You just don't turn your nose up on generosity, or let food go to waste.

"Thank you. You have a nice, good name too. Named after pigweed plants, right? Call me whatever you like, and I will honor your request, Shiva. *A short pause as he contemplated your questions* Hmm....yes. Told me much about the group he was in, but said this would be a....'excellent reminder, and a method by which you can refresh you Knowledge on my friends.' "

His eye brows scrunched together as he quoted those words from the researcher verbatim. What a complicated, hard to understand mouthful. Wished they could have spoken to them in simpler terms, but alas, he knew that was the way they were and accepted it.

"Arrived in....Cress was it? Yes, Cress. Arrived here recently, and got in touch with me. *Nods* Said it was a nice....coincidence. I agree. Explained he was leaving group, ….updated me what happened to you in Mt. Sentry, paid me and gave me folder, and pointed me to the Pokémon Center you all were staying here. Been here waiting for a couple of hours since then."

In response to your last timid question, Terra simply nodded his head and said "Yes. He specifically told me to 'take extraordinarily good care' of you, and that if something....bad happened to you on my watch he would.....'let his Kingdra tenderize me and then serve me up to his Arbok the first chance he could get away with it.' Said this in a joking tone.....but his eye told me he would be.... very unhappy if I messed up. Could tell he loved and cared for you a lot, and only said those thing because he was concerned, so I did not mind it.....much."

He's carefully leaves out at how terrified he was at that moment, as he didn't want to trouble her unnecessarily. It was almost impossible to scare him, given his travels and great confidence in his/his partners ability to defend each other, but that researcher...…it was like he was in the presence of a terrible demon at that exact moment. He knows they are a good man at heart, or otherwise they wouldn't have become close associates with them, but to see them carry and use such darkness in him with ease...

….What type of life must a man live to be both saint and devil all at once? 


He didn't know, and he wasn't too sure if he ever wanted too.

When she explained in great detail about her Cottenee, he did as he usually did with in depth explainations/lectures: silently listen and do his best to understand and absorb the Knowledge for later use. Learning was....hard for him, so he had to put in the extra effort to made sure whatever he was taught stuck with him.

"......Hmm. I have a Pokémon like Cottenee. Her name is Genie. Sweet, but very clever and.....fiendishly devious when the mood strikes her.... or she becomes.....interested in someone. Taught her restraint, though, and she understands to behave herself....most of the time. She's good at heart, and my friends are her friends. May get....playful with you and others at first, but she'll calm down and adjust."

There was a period of silence after saying this, before he said with casual ease and bluntness "We need to battle. Not today, but soon."

No elaboration, but Shiva should understand why he wanted to fight against her given her empathy, or at least partially so.
