Heart could feel the pain. A lot of pain. The pain to have a metal emblem entering in the flesh of his hand. It was a excrucient pain, but Heart endured since it was his will to go foward in this test. After everything he have already go though, this pain and suffer was nothing. After ten minutes of this ritual and then Gagryph finally release Heart from his grasp. The emblem of his family have some blood around it, but with the gaze of Gagryph Heart could notices he have pass in the test. Finally follow Gagryph order and rest a bit, feeling the stones around his body healing him. "Wow. I heard the Gargryphs have the power to use the earth stself to heal them, but I never imagined they could use that same ability with others targets. You are awesome my friend." Heart smile a bit. After some time resting Heart finally stand up. "Cant wait to tell the others about that. They will go crazy."

But a few steps and Heart almost fall in his foot. But he use a wall to stand up and not fall. "Heh, sorry. I still a little dizzy after lost a little blood, but I okay. I just need to stand up and we can go to the pokemon center. My friends is waiting for me there." Then Heart begin to walk a little, with Gargryph still out of the pokeball.

If Ventus allows and Azrael is up for it, Shiva does continue carefully stroking that smol Deino as a substitute for Ventus, showing it again that despite being into Fairy Type, there is not much to fear from her unless being provoked. She enjoys this, much, as long as this dragon isn't agressive or, mind you, a Hydregon yet.

The researcher didn't even hesitate to present his dark angel for his fae fancy to pet and stroke to her heart's content, completely trust her with his child and that she could deal his child should they prove too.....rambucious. Goes to show how much Ven trusts in Shiva to let them handle Azrael anytime, eh? Speaking of the blind drake, her reaction towards the mystical lass is still up to Iron to decide for now, but I can imagine her getting a whiff of the scent of Fairies and their dust on them and wrinkling their noise in distaste/worry. No good scent on woman, makes nose itchy and give me shivers! Papa did let them play with them, though, so she guess that she could be nice to her.....or not.

(On a side not, Shiva's allowed to freely interact with any of Ven's Pokémon with his implicit permission, save for Apsis, Ao Guang, and Scyther/Scizors in the future, since they are all either a health hazard to other trainer and/or don't like the Fairy woman. Lucifer when he evolves would be on his list, but since he's terrified/unwilling to associate with her as a Noibat, that's not liable to change even as a Noivern.)

Hahahahaha. Oh, that is genius...

Nathan stops at the mention of 'early birthday present' after that 'surprise!' What a(n) (un?)fortunate choice of words...Nathan has to try and process that for a moment...

'Wait, no, he said...early...'

He shakes his head to clear it.

"...uh, yeah, right. TM exchange. Let me grab that Icy Wind TM real quick..."

He digs around in his bag for a moment.

...takes him just a little longer than he expected, because he needs to carefully move things around the Carvanha egg, and he pauses for a moment to look at the chocolate gateau in his bag (which is thankfully not squished). Still packaged, but ooh boy, does it smell good, even without opening it...and there's a LOT of it, too...

Anyways, bag gets closed again once he's found the TM. He sets it on the table. Emolga's curiously looking at the TM Ventus just set down, chittering away as he does so. Ooh, another one? What's this one do?

"Well, here ya go. I'll take that...while we're waiting for everyone else to show up, I'll just go ahead and use this TM on Forthright now, if you don't mind. Guess that means you can teach your ghost over there Icy Wind too."

Of course, since Ventus has to use the PC, Nathan will just use his pokedex. Saves a little time. Unfortunately, Forthright can't exactly use her new move right now, but she'll have a chance to test it out soon enough!

Nathan looks at Shiva once that's done. "Well, that's Sandstorm taken care of. Just gotta teach her Weather Ball...guess we might be testing her form changes out sooner than expected?"

Ven didn't find the perplextion or surprise unusual from Nathan, as that was exactly the type of reaction he was expecting by handing over the TM for Sandstorm 'ahead of schedule' (Dramatic Irony right there, mates!), and so simply let out a good humored chuckle as he gratefully took the TM for Icy Wind soon after they place it on the table.

"My deepest thanks for agreeing to this trade, Nathan! You are indeed correct, so if you excuse me for one moment......."

The scientist then gets up from the table and makes his way to the PC with the TM in hand to teach his banshee Malphena the move Icy Wind! Her magical powers grow! Now Normal and most Dark types (Only Water/Dark resists all her attacking moves!) will suffer a intense case of bone chill if they dare think they can take advantage of their Resistances/Immunities, mwahahahaha!

He then returns to the group, but not until Nathan and Shiva finish up their conversation, and waits with them for Valder (I'll assume he'll either automatically show up or not) and Heart to join in on this meeting of the boy's. 'Wonder what he has to say so suddenly?....Hmm, I suppose we'll find out in due time, now won't I?'

(03-28-2018, 05:30 PM)PhantomUnderYourDesk Wrote: Huh, that caused Shiva to go silent for a little to think over which Pokemon she, and then the group has that may benefit from a sandstorm. ...Her Comite came to her mind first! Followed by Heart's Ar- Lairon. Ven's Numel likely won't mind either, same with his and her Magneton!~

Eventually, after a little, she carefully spoke up again, looking thoughtful. "Guess it's better to only cast a sandstorm then when the advantages outweight the disadvantages. Sand Rush is a cool Ability, at home we mostly breed Lilipup that'll have this Ability when they evolve for customers. But if there's only one or two Pokemon on the field that don't mind or even benefit from both the storm and the hail, this probably brings out the best of these particular weather changes. Like... well, I think I'll only let Vulpix battle when it's safe. Or indoors, as then her skill of summoning a hailstorm is surpressed!"

"A...anyway, I realized that weather changes in battle shouldn't be done because you feel like it, but it can bring quite a benefit if done so with an intention. Like, Braixen's firepower grows amazingly if his inner flame is set ablaze and even powered up by the sunshine my sweet Cherubi summoned. Overdoing it will likely develop into chaos I think, or backfire, the sun and rain were my main...sentiments...to have, I mean."

"Yeah, Hail's probably the hardest weather to use...aside from Ice types, only pokemon with Overcoat, Magic Guard, most abilities that benefit from Hail directly, ones that know Blizzard, and ones wearing Safety Goggles can actually safely fight in it or benefit from it. And on top of that, the trainer has to be equipped for those damaging weathers too if there's no suitable cover, lest they also take damage from it...though summoning an aurora is probably more than enough justification for starting a hailstorm. It'd be...nice to see that one day...shame that TM is only produced in Alola currently...but I guess that makes sense if it's also the only place that can really sell it since few pokemon can use it as well as the Alolan Vulpix line..."

Nathan shrugs at Shiva's next comment. "Changing the weather is what Castform do. Maybe Forthright will eventually call on the Rain as well, but...it's not exactly very fitting of her namesake if she doesn't at least get the hang of clearing the skies to let the light shine on the battlefield. Maybe she'll be soaking up the sun's rays one day as well to complement the literal firepower..."

...

"...that's not here or now, though. For now, I'd like to just focus on going through each of her different Forecasts once she's learned Weather Ball. It won't be long before she learns it...she was just starting to form the clouds into a ball earlier."

She also agrees silently that a Castform is, well, a Castform, changing the weather and changing its form accordingly is within it's nature.

Heart before returning to the pokemon center, he have released Hypno out of his pokeball. "Alphonse, I dont know how and why did you know about Gagryph be in this Cathedral today, but...thanks about that man."

Timeforward!

Heart finally manages to finally come to the pokemon Center still a little dizzy, but enough to be in good shape. Gagryph healing factor is pretty useful. He meet with the others still with Gargryph beside Heart to surprise everyone. He wave his hand and cheerfull talk. "Howdy everyone? My night today, how can I say...was pretty Rock like a Rhyhorn. Anyway, look who I found in the Cathedral." Then Heart show the Tandorian Pokemon to everyone. "Pretty neat huh? Guess you not the only ones with a Tandorian pokemons Shiva and Ventus."

PhantomUnderYourDesk · 03-29-2018, 03:30 PM

Averting her attention from speaking with Nathan about Weather changes as well as constantly gently stroking over Azrael's black head - Ventus himself hasn't objected at all towards her taking a little care while Ven was busy teaching a new move via TM to his Misdreavus, Shiva herself is fine with this dark dragon as long as it behaves, but does Deino herself allow Shiva petting her? (You never came back to this, Iron, does she?) - she eventually spotted Heart approaching and even waving to them at the table. Huh, it's somewhat late, where has Heart been....

Wait a moment. WAAAAIT RIGHT THERE - midmovement in her attempted waving back, Shiva froze on the spot. Heart wasn't alone - there was a big, weird, stony thing beside him, if she wasn't mistaken this must be a Pokemon, one she has never seen before!

She cautiously mustered this believed Pokemon - oh, is it possibly one more from Tandor? Probably! -, as if awaiting what it does and how it behaves. It looks pretty noble in her view, and strongly reminds on a gargoyle of some kind... At the mentioning of it indeed being a Pokemon from Tandor by Heart himself, as well as the slight flattering from being adressed in this manner, Shiva gave an appreciating nod to Heart to express that she was listening and paying attention, before she opted to curiosly blink a few times over the sensation that this Pokemon Heart obtained here looked pretty...beautiful. So precious somewhat, there was something chivalrous and tough about this creature. It looked like a Rock Type to her, maybe with a secondary Flying Type due to these wings?

"H....Heart,", she eventually spoke up in a careful tone of voice, but with an audible fascination between the lines, "that's...quite a cool Pokemon you got there, from the Cathedral you say? It looks...well, 'rare'. And hard to spot among stony figures. Lucky you! Say, what's kind of species is this, what name does it bear in Tandor? Is it...safe to be around? And...." Now her gaze grew concerned as she faces Heart, " are you okay? You look...a bit dazed." H-has this Pokemon done anything to him, was it a dangerous species?! Instantly, Shiva grows a bit worried about this, opting to give small Spritzee on her shoulder a stroke beneath the beak with her other hand in her seeking for security.

Heart then closed his eyes and make a little embarassed smile. "Thank you! Indeed it is! He is a Tandorian pokemon, a Gargryph to be more specific. They can only be encountered in a certain place in Tandor, Venesi City. He is a rock-type pokemon with the neat power to regenerate himself with rock of his body or around him! Even in Tandor they are super rare, and they only appear from time to time. Imagine my surprise when I found him in the Cathedral."

To Shiva concern Heart decided to not hold the truth and speak with her and to make sure the Gargryph is safe to be around. "About that you dont to be worry about him Shiva. He is a cool and nice pokemon." Then Heart begin to explain why he is a little dazed. No point in hold the truth. "Well to be honest, its kinda my fault to be a little dazed. You see, the Gargryph race its a bit suspicious with other humans, and his species only accept to be "wortly" or "endurance". So I ask if I could do a "test" of will and endurance to prove I can be his trainer. Long story short, he test my resolution with a test of strengh and will with his claw in my hand and force my resolute. Its pain, but I was able to pass though the test. And I discover something new: He was able to heal me with his ability using rocks. I still a bit dizzy after that scenario, but I prove my resolution and will to him. And now his a member of my team."

Heart then scratch a little the back of Gargryph. "Sometimes when you are dealing with pokemon its takes a few risks sometimes. But you dont need to worry about him Shiva. Gargryph respect me and he obey me (2 of loyalty its not something little) and I he will not attack anyone. Isn't that right buddy." Heart look to Gargryph.

Ralts (and Nathan) start feeling a little dizzy too as soon as Heart enters. Whooooaaaaa....

Nathan shakes his head to try and clear it...but nope, it's not goin' away...

"...Ralts, use Heal Pulse please. Maybe that will help..."

One wave of healing energy targeted on Heart! Should help clear that dizzyness up a little since it's being used by a Ralts.

Nathan and Ralts have clearer heads now, at least. Maybe it's a placebo effect, maybe not. Who knows!

"...*ahem*..."

Nathan blinks. Wait, is that...one of the cathedral's gargoyles?

...and it's moving?

...

...it's native to Tandor...?

"...wait, you mean to tell me that's something like what they might see in...what was it again...it's on the tip of my tongue...uuuuhhhh....it starts with a V...Vun...Van...Von...no, it's...uh...Venesi! That's it. Venesi City. But what did they say the pokemon was called? Hmmm...."

...

"...nevermind. What on earth were you doing to get so dizzy, Heart?"

*listens to Heart's explanation*

"...uh huh...well then..."

Nathan and Ralts give Gargryph a respectful bow. Emolga scrambles to maintain his balance, chittering all the meanwhile. "Pleasure to meet you, Gargryph. I trust you have your reasons for accompanying him. Now then..."

Nathan stands, and...looks just a tad awkward and nervous...

"...everyone's here, so...could we head to my room? I, uh...kinda want this discussion to be private..."

"'Garpryph'... What a fitting name for this species." Oh, so it's a pure Rock Type? Means it pretty likely cannot fly with these stony wings. Imagining this Pokemon flying through the air, now that Shiva thought a second time about this picture, felt indeed somewhat off. But therefore, it likely doesn't need to fly to impress people, as its noblesse has already caught her.

The opening that the test Heart spoke about was about THIS POKEMON'S CLAW IN ONE HAND - *discreetly looking down to spott these claws on Gargryph's feet/paws* - caused Shiva to impercibly shiver and not-impercibly from as this sounds...dangerous. Very dangerous. If blood was involved, she didn't want to think about what consequences this might have had, at worst a septic shock!!! Eeeek. She rather quickly and eventually successfull bans these thoughts from her mind now. "...P..please make sure that you get better, Heart, and take a good rest to recover, alright?"

Turning silent now, Shiva ended up deciding that it's alright to be around this Pokemon, about 'safe' she's not yet 100% sure but believes in Heart's words. If it'd get too close to her, Azu and her Grass Types will deal with this gargoyle, just in case! As soon as she's alone at some point (maybe not this in-game Day depending where she'll end up sleeping over/how long speaking with Ventus will take), she'll also draw that Almanac to see what it has to add about Gargryph - yes, this 'Pokedex' of hers was still a secret, and she won't tell the group unless it feels necessary. She herself was rather thankful for this device, and especially enjoyed 1. gaming on it and 2. information from all these mystifying Tandor Pokemon, yay.

The request to follow Nathan to his room earned him a concealed deadpan look from Shiva, before she shook that instant reaction off almost instantly. She'll follow, yes, but if she was honest to herself she didn't feel very well to be in Nathan's dorm due to remembering both that almost suffocating feeling she got from the plain room, as well as how the last time they all spoke there Ventus had to do some dilent damage control to her. Naturaly she picked up that nervousness and awkwardness from Nathan, suprisingly she didn't even had to concentrate her senses to do so as he already proofed to be easy to 'read' for her.

Heart expect some types of reactions. But not this kind coming from Nathan and Ralts. To them to bold to Gargryph is something strange and awkward but problably Gargryph might be already used to that since he is some sort of guardian (reaction to all of this @Iron?). "Uh sure Nats. If you say so. What do you want to discuss with us so urgent mate?"

**Iron** · 03-29-2018, 04:47 PM

Gargryph is stoic through it all. In general he does not react to things until he has good reason to do so.

Gargryph
If trained to treat a place as home, it will defend that place with its very life. As this Pokemon is quite resilient, it is an effective guardian. It moves slowly, however; preferring to remain as still as a statue to avoid detection. Gargryph can shield its mind from psychic detection.

The sociologist was swiftly to happily wave the rare collector over to the table, but when he detected that they were feeling unwell and disoriented such cheer was replaced with concern for them. Fortunately Nathan and Ralts were able to correct the matter of Heart's wellness post haste, earning them both a smile and a nod for their proactive treatment of the man's condition, whatever it may have been. Ventus found out the cause of it in short order when Heart introduced what looked to be a large animate stone gryphon as his new Pokemon, and explained their shared story, causing no small amount of alarm and intrigue. Alarm for how harshly judgemental the stone avian was in nature, and intrigued because it was yet another mysterious (for a given value) Tandorian Species, ripe for the researching!

However, he decline to do anymore than give the Gargryph a formal bow of his head, as he didn't want to interupt Heart's conversation with his most blessed of friend or badger the pun loving man with such dry yet ethusiastic inquiries this time of night, and.....
