Howl will use Houndoom, Umbreon, Liepard, and Alolan Persian.


Aww, THAT's the answer Shiva has wished and hoped for, having her issues to conceal a smile full of joyous anticipitation she follows Howl down into his Gym. Her eyes need a bit to get used to the setting and darkness down there, but she finds herself eyeing the Dusk and Sun Stone with curiosity and interest.

Itemwise she'd prefer for any medicine that heal HP of a Pokemon to be permitted from being used in this battle, but HP-Draining is allowed. Same is for stuff that'll heal Status, those can be spammed to heart's content on both her and Howl's side. Held Items are of course fine. Shiva doesn't have to voice that she will not make use of the Ancient Shield as that protection would grant her an unfair advantage. She'd rather have and enjoy a clean fair fight where she and her dear Pokemon have rightfully earned the victory.


The first of her Pokemon she's going to send out... ...is Kyuu!~ Two bushy darkblue tails tipped with white swirl around his slender body as he gracefully lands on on his hindpaws just in time with Howl's big Houndoom.
[+]Show artwork
He bristles all his fur and hisses a bit at that hell of a doggo, but does not appear to be fearful - Shiva has given him a task, a task that he'll put his heart into fulfilling. As Houndoom aggressively bares their teeth at him, Kyuu snarls back: 'I do not fear your darkness, dontcha underestimate me and my psychic powers!', he nonverbally conveys to Houndom and to Howl himself.
Kyuu's prankful nature enables him to toy with Houndoom before they can react, so he quickly gets a Reflect AND a Light Screen up: Full protection now, hah! The Light Clay he's currently holding nicely adds some enhanced durability to these screens. Houndoom's blackness still manages to hurt Kyuu though, it's too risky to burn another slot by miracle-eying, and so the psychic nekomata begins to fiercely fight back with the loveliest of singing voice and most dazzling of beams, dealing some non-STAB'd normal damage to the fierly canine of darkness.
It's not enough to defeat them though, Kyuu eventually succumbs to a final Crunch. Still Shiva can feel the delight within him as she recalls him into his Pokeball as he has managed to fulfil mentioned task. "Very well done, dear one, you played your role brilliantly", she whispers to him. A faint smile responds.


NEXT! The Pokemon appearing now to finish off Houndoom is... a dog itself, one held in black and grey, one which's appearance tends to intimidate those nearby, one that features a unique twist to every Mightyena one may have ever seen: It's Yena, Shiva's special phenotype'd wolf!
[+]Show artwork
He spreads these wings widely and gets into a pose ready to leap into an attack, just waiting on a word from Shiva - who is holding back a coy grin over the certainty that not even that lover of dogs Howl is might has seen a Mightyena like THAT one. "Come on, Yena, we'll now fight darkness with darkness!~"
There's a LOT of howling, yelping and barking as it's now Mightyena vs Houndoom, it's quite the view to see two canines of such a caliber fighting so fiercely. Houndoom may have the firepower, but Yena has his enhanced biting force, the protection of the screens set up by Kyuu and the power of a HM that'll smash rocks into dust like it was nothing. Ohhh and he's loving to have that advantage over Houndoom, one smack follows the other, that Expert Belt he's wearing as a collar nicely adds to the damage dealt!
Houndoom soon goes down, letting Yena standing there as the one who has proven his higher rank in the hierarchy. That's calling for a victory howl! He's raging for MOOOOAR, that butterwolfly's not even tired yet, in fact his adrenaline is just about to rush in; let me battle, let me fight, LEMME do that, every hair of Yena's black neck-fur seems to vividly scream that!!


And of course Shiva let's Yena have that fun, he's going to stay out as Howl sends out the Eeveelution of darkness, a night of the full moon turned into a Pokemon, the Pokemon that makes Shiva let out a squal of joy: It's an Umbreon! Yena eagerly returns the grim glance and intimidating pose the elegant creature's giving him. The natural fae enthusiast's going to observe Howl's Umbreon closely and with delight, being involuntarily reminded on Spectral. <3
The barking, howling, yelping and snarling continues as the battle rages on! Especially the snarling-part is made heard as Yena voices his displeasure over being attacked with a bunch of Eevee-exclusive moves or alternatively moves channeling sheer blackness. Shiva holds back with exploiting the advantage of the rocksmashing SE-attack, it's not much fun for her to make things that easy. She's relying on the massive biting force of her butterwolfly for now, letting Yena sink his fangs into Umbreon like an alpha wolf would into a tired prey! Bite after bite it goes, an attack is responded by a counter-attack, the two Pokemon are almost one with the darkness around, sparkling Shield Dust from Yena's wings scatters everywhere, it's hard to fully make out which of the two is overtrumping the other...
...but then Umbreon staggers after having taken a critical bite into their right foreleg, they are trying to not let that pain get the better of themselves, they're fighting with themselves for a bit - and then Umbreon is going down!! Yena's panting as he himself has taken some blows, his howling is not lacking though. 'That was a good battle, black feline, nicely done!'
Yena looks delighted and proud of himself as Shiva calls him back to her side, he thankfully accepts a treat and a ruffle of his fur before he's too being recalled into the comfyness of his Ball.


Halfway done now, the battle between the natural fae enthusiast and the bipolaric Gym Leader of darkness continues.


And it has become time for Shiva to draw the Pokeball containing her secret ace against Howl, a loyal companion that she came to in a roundabout way, a 'Mon of hers looking so intimidating that it makes one think twice before even daring to wrong nature: It is
[+]Show artwork
Shiva's tactic of fighting darkness with darkness instead of trying to light said darkness goes on, the big and bulky panda huffs and prepares as Howl quietly sends out his third Pokemon for this fight: A slender and pretty Liepard, meowing endearingly. Shiva knows all to well that this is just to mask its vicious and merciless nature.

Is Liepard prepared to face Pangoro as their opponent, can they keep up with the sheer power he's got in his fists? He himself is all confidant that they're not, and Shiva's got a sly grin on her face as she directs Pangoro into the arena with an elegant handwave! Pangoro's going to pump EVEN MOAR force and vigor into himself by working up, the it's showtime for him and show's over for Liepard: A Bullet Punch with his left, a Drain Punch with his right, and eventually a Circle Throw accompanied by a loud growl as Pangoro sends the fainted panther right back where they came from; that catlike foe was almost too easy, now bring on the more dangerous ones!!~~


It's three outta four Pokemon down for Howl now, he's got one last choice of a 'Mon to deal with Shiva's panda! She looks pleased over him having made short shrift with Liepard and mightily curious of Howl's last ace up his sleeve.


That distinct round face, that magnificient coat of blue-grey fur, those eyes looking down on anything but itself: Shiva quickly recognizes that last ace as the Alolan variant of a Persian! 'Quite the fitting choice for him despite he seems to be more into dogs than cats', she thinks to herself.

Pangoro obviously stays out, and his eyes are GLARING at this graceful feline as they are giving him a hiss and a 'bring-it-on'-glance. Is this cat making fun of him??! Hummmmppppfff, you're going to laugh like that once I've finished you off, a protective coat of fur on your side or not! Speaking about protection, the screens are STILL there to grant some to Pangoro himself.
Well then, Shiva's order for Pangoro is a blunt allowance to pummel some senses into this extraordinaire Persian and use some of that drainpunch'd energy to heal himself up. Persian of course quickly picks up on that and makes it avoid some of the blows with classy movements before striking themselves, but Pangoro's massively amount of HP and constant healing make him very hard to wear down. Oh, and trying to exploit his increased weakness to the fae is not going to happen as Shiva has properly accounted for that; a Roseli Berry he has hidden in his fur efficiently nullifies any worry about that aspect.
The sheer power of the blows Pangoro's delivering is quite the show to enjoy, Alola Persian does not seem to show how these are quickly starting to tire them out. They tackle hit after hit, don't even stagger or slow down, they seem to continue fighting like nothing has happened! Shiva, thanks to her sharp eye and quick wits, realizes when it has become time for the last attack that'll decide over winning or loosing this fight, and orders for Pangoro to finish things off properly. He does so with a wide and powerful outraged smack with his claws, and THAT hit causes Perisan to let out a sharp hiss before they succumb and go down. 'You may have defeated me, big panda, but just wait, wait for my revenge as we will see who's going to be laughing then!!'


This labels Shiva as the one standing as the winner against Howl!! A Gym Badge, pride and the sweet sweet~ feeling of victory are the reward, and mechanically that'll make her a character featuring 7*Insight!! A personal goal I've been pursuing for her; it started with interest in how this Stat can influence non-combat Encounters, went onwards to her awakening sixth sense and ended with sweet Shiva beating dear Ventus in his own game of empathy.

RE: [Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole - Spiritmon - 12-14-2019

After congratulating Shiva with surprising warmth, Howl moves on to battle Heart. Shiva, you think he can sense that you'll be crucial to Elanor's rising up from the ashes. Do any of your Pokemon need Loyalty that they might win from such a gym battle?

Howl switches his team up for Heart. His ace this time will be a Bisharp, and he'll also bring out Spiritomb, Absol, and a fierce baby Zorua.

Awwwww Shiva's delighted over the congrats and victory!~~ A bit coyly she accepts them as well as the Badge + everythingelse and then takes a seat in the audience to watch Heart's battle. What a weird and funny coincidence(?) that he showed up exactly now.

[+]Concerning earned Loyalty

Uhm, you've also got your notes around, Iron? Because what's the Badge called again, what was the alcoholic beverage gotten as an additional reward, is there anythingelse to know? The only thing I remember is that it's granting +0.5 Insight. (^_^ ;)
And what was that about rewarded XP for eaching character goals? Shiva being max. insightful was one of mine for her. (◕‿◕｡)



+++++++Flashing forward after Heart's fight+++++++


Shiva hinted that she's got something she wishes to talk about/show Howl, so now she's carefully and gently pulling him aside and reminds on that. "Battle first, then business, like I said!~~"

Rummaging in her stuff a little, she eventually pulls out an occupied Steel Ball and places it into Howl's open hand. Her voice is serious and lowered when she speaks up, the words are meant only to him and should not spread. "Please take a look at the Pokemon registered to it. It is....an extraordinaire one, one that I've managed to catch deep down the ominous Ruins, one that's been lurking in a sunken ship..."

Dwelling within the Steel Ball is Dark Shellder. The simple look of it gives Shiva cold shivers.

She continues. "This creature is capable, highly capable, but it's also highly unruly (aka 0/0 vs 5 Disobediance). It's defying almost anything known about a normal Shellder, just look at those teeth and dangerous moves it knows! (>o< ) It's been engulfing the whole area in darkness and the more it did so, the harder it's been for me and the others to wear it down. ...This Gym, and you yourself Howl, sound like the ones being most suited to handle this being... Interested in adopting it?"

Dark Shellder's Stats

Shiva isn't very interested in money or material goods in return for this special Pokemon. A favour is what she's seeking for - she and me have got one in mind, but let's wait and see whether Howl's interested at all and/or offers anything himself first.

It's around this time that Nathan sends a text to the rest of the group.

Sorry about not responding sooner.  Something really, really important came up.  You guys should all hear it too. I'll tell you guys when we meet in Celebi Park.

Ah, after so much naturalistic enjoyment it's feeling somewhat off for Shiva to being occupied with electronics aka her cell again, that message reaches her just after she has responded to Heart. She's reading through Nathan's and sends a short one back, then packs her phone back into stuff and proceed laying in the grass with Chi laying on her chest + stomach region and Primal Espeon curled together for a nap in sunshone close to her.

Howl has come to expect great things from those in your party. He does his best, especially with Zorua who needs a lot of training. He makes a little bit of forward progress since your Pokemon are spending as much time playing and running as they are fighting. In the end, the skill disparity is clear and Heart is the badgewinner.

RE: [Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole - Iron - 12-17-2019

It's called the Hornblende Badge. The reward for beating Howl is $1500 and a Brandy (statted as a Lemonade).

20XP for reaching max Insight!

Pangoro deserves a Loyalty for sure. Heart, you can pick one Pokemon to earn a Loyalty as well, and any of your mons that were under 3 Happiness can gain 1 Happiness for getting out of the Box.



"There's definitely something wrong with this Shellder. Or should I say, unusual. It does seem to have been born this way, but the influence of some deeper darkness has encouraged its dark nature to fester and grow in unhealthy ways. If you could learn more about the source of that deeper darkness, you could learn more about Dark Shellder. It will take a lot of love and nurturing to grow this into a healthy Dark type. This is something of a White Donphan gift, to tell you true, but I will look after it if you'd like me to. I'm interested in rising to the challenge, and your description of its powers sounds interesting."

RE: [Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole - PhantomUnderYourDesk - 12-18-2019

Aaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh those 20XP + 4 from my storage directly wander into a 5th point in Allure Speciality on Shiva, maxing this out. BARELY ANYTHING (including Ventus) will now be able to withstand her charm, and to make matters worse she seems to know well how to play it out to twist any foe around her little finger. Luckily she's not much of the femme-fatale-type of woman, otherwise those foes would now be doomed.

Shiva's super-delighted and literally SHINES and SPARKLES as she accepts the badge and is pulled close by Pangoro and put onto the big panda's shoulder by his strong arms! (ﾉ>ω<)ﾉ :｡･:*:･ﾟ’★,｡･:*:･ﾟ’☆


*cough* Now towards business concerning that pitchblack and scary Shellder. She knowingly agrees to Howl's prognosis of this special Pokemon needing A LOT of love and nurtiring to become a healthy and safe Pokemon to be around, and casts a smile so happy that it's feeling unfitting in this dark and gloomy Gym as he gives himself up o this challenge. "That's great to hear, very great, yes!~ This....deeper darkness... *involuntary cold shivers* ...something was mightily off about it, not even a Flash was able to bring permanent light into it. It was like... a nightmare having manifested physically... Ugh! (。＞＜)シ E-either way, I'm, uhm, uncomfortable around this Pokemon, and your and your Gym felt like the right place for it to call home now..."

"So, ehm... There's something I'd like to ask you for in return for them, then! Look, you've seen my, hehe, very special Mightyena..." Outta his Pokeball Yena pops to spread his unique wings and wag his bushy black tail in joy. "Say, I noticed you're holding a liking for canine Pokemon - So, is it possible and agreeable that I'll leave him *pets Yena's forehead* into your care for a day or two in order to let you or a kennelmaster learn a few tricks from your dogs? In particular, the moves Play Rough and possibly Poison Fang interest me... And it'll be a nice experience for him to be around other dogs and those lovely Poochyena puppies outside!♡ "

( = In return for Dark Shellder, Howl or one of the kennelmasters care for Yena for a day or two and tutor him in Play Rough and [optimally] Poison Fang, both moves are on Mightyena's list of ?-moves as well as moves I wish for him to learn in one way or the other. Plus, he gets to play with and be around other dogs and puppies!~ )
