The matches that he's mainly keeping an eye on are Heart and Nathan's.

Angela sticks her tongue out at him, a little mad that it was so obvious.
"Hmmph! I have more great Pokemon at age 24 than you'll see in a lifetime. And 1925 called, it wants its fashion sense back."
well this about shows the mood between Spira and Angela now
Spoiler
sorry 'bout the badly cropped picture...
"Wait a second... I don't remember telling you where I'm from... Also like you'd know about fasion, Ms. Mud queen."
Spoiler
"Well, I never let my innate beauty and style get in the way of catching rare Pokemon. Handsome trainers, well...sometimes. Wait, where did you say you were from?"
(I meant that he's a little confused that she knows he's from 1925, oh well)

"I'm from Sinnoh, Hearthome City to be precise." wait a moment... "You basically just implied that you think I'm handsome. I'll remember that." He smirks smugly.

Spira eventually understands that she doesn't REALLY think he's from 1925. It's just an expression!

"Sinnoh. Never been. If you really think you're hot stuff, come battle me later and we'll find out...one way or another." ; ) She turns and sashays away, obviously proud of having gotten the last word.

Shiva seems very relieved and glad that this also means that they're done with fighting and she can relax again, she'll wave Angela back to the seat beside her or follow her if she's leaving. Raphael also calms down now and takes a sharp turn high up into the open sky again to ride the breezes and winds, touch the clouds and greet the sun.

++Flashforward to Shiva's last Encounter , some things I can obviously not foretell at this point. Suprise, I decided to finish this before going to bed.++

Regardless who ends up winning this Safari Cup, Shiva's clapping and rejoicing for them - unless they've won with the help of cheating! She's feeling confident that all has been kept fair and clean though and whoever has won, they've done so because they both had Fortuna's favour and know their stuff. In short, because they deserved it. Good job!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Way too soon it becomes time to say goodbye to Angela for now it seems, Shiva almost obviously suffers some pain of parting despite her best effort to hide that from the fellow dragonslayer. Raphael almost instantly nuzzles Shiva a bit in an attempt to soothe her issues, which she finds incredibly kind of the archangel - it's even working, not as well as if Raphael would be Cottonee, but it does.

If Angela allows, Shiva pulls her into hug. :> "It, well... It was fun to spend time with you, thank you for approaching me there in Area 5! We will see one another again, will we? I'd be happy to! I also look forward to facing you at the other side of the battlefield for the possibility of another Gym Badge once I make it to the swamp; I'll stop by, I promise !! For now though, me and the group's destination is Elanor~" Shiva smiles a bit to herself at the thought of visiting that place. Ayye! "Can we, maybe, if you'd like too... stay in contact nevertheless though, independant of battling? ...Can we exchange Pokedex- or cell numbers even? Please? Ah, and I'll save one piece of jewelry I'll craft from the Sawsbuck Antlers for you, yesss!" ^o^

Shiva's hands are impercibly trembling a bit as she boldly asks that, mentally she's crossing them as well. Maybe it is shining through a bit maybe not, but for Shiva Angela appears to be a sort of role model in the field of Pokemon Training/Battling. A bit like her father's in Pokemon Breeding, perhaps. After all, she's good enough to face nasty Poison Types without any fear, lead her own Gym and whatelse, and with her 24 years she's not that much older than Shiva.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Once that's cleared, Shiva will wave goodbye and make her way to the hostel she has her room in after having returned the unused first aid kit, she's enjoying the walk through the fresh air as it was getting dark slowly but surely. Today's been exciting, yes it was, some selfmade dinner followed by some casual quality time with her Pokemon sounds just about right to end the day. She's not that up for joining a jam session or similar with the other guests today.

A quick stop-by at the local Pokemon Center enables Shiva to pick up fully healed Purrloin and swap her party to the following:

Spoiler

After dinner, a warm shower and changing into comfy clothes she takes a seat at the table of the room, carefully spreading and sorting the things he has gathered in the Safari Zone. Most things are packed away again, not so the valuable Spring-Sawsbuck antlers however: She'll put them into good use this night still! She also shows them to every of her current Pokemon, in particular to Purrloin as it's something pretty valuable that originates from Mother Nature. "I'm feeling very lucky to having found these, you know... Generally my gatherings during downtime were rather fruitful! Ah, and sure those of you that want to help me turning these into some nice pieces of jewelry can do so." Eevee and Azu are happy to help while the other Pokemon will either watch or follow their own business, Gloom has more fun holding and appreciating the angel's feather. He doesn't smell bad at the moment due to (hopefully) feeling safe and well, he shall get used to Shiva's presence and get to know the other Pokemon. "One day, one day you'll meet the one the feather originates from again, I promise."

The Sawsbuck Knife turns out very useful for carving and cutting the antlers, and Azu is taking fun in handing Shiva materials she requests from the blue fae mouse, once she suprises Shiva by handing her a magicked-up 50$ coin. Eevee does 'help' as well, which meant he was carefully checking on all the materials and testing their safety and quality: For example, he sniffs at the tube filled with Yena's Shield Dust and sneezes (it passes the test since sneezing = stuff's good quality since natural), and rolls himself in the shed pine needles from the Snover that mother gathered in the icy cave beneath Mount Sentry to see how much they sting (They don't sting at all, pass). It's adorable to watch for Shiva, before turning in for the night she'll brush Eevee's fur until he falls asleep on her lap.

She ends up creating 3 pieces of jewelry from the antlers, a piece of 3 centimeters bearing the most beautiful flower she'll keep as a lucky charm. Once piece is a necklace coming with a leather band like that one, another is a bracelet like this, while the third is a pedant combined with a few feathers and that one can attach to a chain and wear, use as a charm or add to a dreamcatcher or similar or just hang on the wall for decoration. Comes with some bagged sparkling Shield Dust from her butterwolfly to sprinkle over the antler if one likes. Shiva will keep the piece she thinks Angela will enjoy most reserved for her.

Crafting Roll: 6*Insight + 3 Knowledge + 4 Crafting = 13d6, possibly 15 due to Azu's Helping Hand.

"Oh I see. I thought maybe you hadn't caught many obedient Pokemon. Some people don't prioritize very well. Sorry to lump you in with them. Really, I wouldn't miss the chance to use such a strange Pokemon either - and there have been stories about a ghostly mind-controlled Parasect for ages now. Pretty sure I've even seen it once or twice. Do you think there's more than one? Deltas don't always breed true..."

"Aren't journeying Trainers always looking to battle? Something in the eyes... But anyway, I'm the Gym Leader of Arrowroot Village. Angela? I don't know if anyone talks about me anymore, but I used to be kind of a big deal. I can give you an official badge if you beat me. I'll also tell you a secret, if you impress me. So yeah. Area 6 this week, outskirts of Elanor this weekend. Come find me."

Nathan shrugs. "Yeah, not everyone can afford to catch everything they see. I got 11 out of the 12 pokemon I found, though, so I had options. Ya must have missed my Doduo sweeps from the earlier matches I was in."

He shrugs again when asked if there might be another Delta Parasect in there. "Don't know. The Arbok that was fleeing from it seemed a lot calmer after I caught the glowing mushroom pokemon, though. I've only personally seen one Delta Species in large numbers, and that was a...weird case, to keep it brief. I've caught my fair share of Deltas while traveling, but that one time...that was something else for sure..."

Once Angela says Arrowroot Village, it clicks for Nathan. "Ah. You're that Angela. Now I know where I've heard that name before. I swear, though, you're the only Gym Leader that would hold a Gym battle in the Safari Zone on the other side of the region instead of in the actual gym near Arrowroot...though I suppose not many trainers want to visit the swamp if they don't have to, either...your reputation as the hardest gym leader to challenge is certainly accurate, at least..."

Nathan chuckles, partially laughing at something he said, partially because of the amazingly fortunate position he seems to have found himself in ironically. "...well then, I can't exactly say no to this opportunity since you're offering, can I? Alright, I'll come find ya later. If not this week in the Safari Zone, on the outskirts of Elanor this weekend since the group I'm traveling with is heading that way eventually. Any chance you can give me a quick rundown of your battle rules so I can come prepared?"

Safari Zone - Terra 3

Aggro: (4)

Rarity: (3)(4)(6) I'll just combine them then!

"Oh yaaa, I know a horrifying, terrible threat that needs driven away! Only one such as yourself could defeat it! Are you ready? Are you sure you're ready? Alright, on your own head be it! Let's go!"

You walk for a ways, Geo in the lead until you get to a grassy cliff. Geo retreats and whispers "It's right over that hill! Reshiram be with you."

You crawl forward, unafraid, and Duskull is going : 0

You peer down. On the water's edge, you see a mass of giant footprints in the mud. And stomping around in the mud is a GIANT Psyduck. It's twelve feet tall and looks very angry, but it also looks chubby and dim and, well, like a Psyduck. You look back at Geo and see he's laughing at you.

Terra could only gazed back at Geo with a thoroughly befuddled expression as they revealed their amusement, not because of the giant duckie (Whose's absurdity did not phase him, given all the even more wild stuff he's experienced), but because they were laughing at him and the situation as if it was some sort of joke. If it was, he didn't get it at all, and if it was not, he really didn't get what was so hilarious about it.

'Ugh.....so confused. *Shakes head to self* Still, have to take care of water fowl quickly, before it cause more problems.....'

With that in mind, the sagely monk stood up, brush off the dirt on his pants and gestured to get Duskull's attention, before nodding at Geo.

"Okay. Will take of giant ducky. Duskull, follow me, and do what you want to it. Now.....we go."

Then without a moment's pause or hesitation, he turned around and leaped off the cliff to dive down and attack the big bird!

Order: Depending on how big the cliff overlooking Giga Psyduck is, Terra will do one of the following:

- If its not to big enough to kill him from the fall, he'll summon Michael before diving off the cliff, with orders to use Stun Spore and then Spore on G.P. and then go with a Facade to soften them up. Need to get them thoroughly Statused for the Capture, and then pound right into them!

- If its big enough to actually kill or seriously injure him, Angie will be released prior to diving to catch him should he fail to do what he wants, and will promptly use the opportunity to use Agility before using Sky Fall twice and a Bite on G.P. More Status from the angel dragon, and if Bite Flinches it Terra will throw a Safari Ball at them (If he can), regardless of its Pain or any other Status!

With that out of the way, the plan is simple: Terra will attempt to land on and Knockdown Giga Psyduck (Which should cushion his fall), and then get out of the way to have his Pokemon wail on it to the point of submission. If its it's down to 1/2 HP this round , he'll attempt to catch it with a Safari Ball. Duskull pretty much has free reign to do as he likes, though its expect he at least participates in the Fight a little.

A daring stunt, or pure foolishness? The answer to that question will be coming soon!!

Moves:

Duskull : Random Action(s)

Michael: 3 Actions - Stun Spore [-3 Accuracy], Spore, Facade (10D6 Base Damage); Conditional Order: Substitute Spore with Stun Spore if the first one fails due to missing, then substitute Facade with Spore.

Angie: 4 Actions - Agility, Sky Fall 1 & 2 (10D6 Base Damage, *Paralyze 5*), Bite (7D6 Base Damage, *Flitch 5*)

Terra: Knockdown (5D6 Base Damage, - 1 Accuracy on Target)

Base Dice Pools: 7D6 Athletics, 10D6 Channel, 11D6 Brawl, and 12D6 Intimidate

Angela: "I don't have a cell phone, sorry. Just come find me - but DON'T bring anyone I haven't invited. K? You understand. Thanks. Oh, and the Sawsbuck jewelry sounds delightful."

Crafting:
(4)(1)(5)(6)(4)(3) (1)(4)(3)(5)(6)(4) (4)(6)(4) = 10 successes! These jewelry pieces turned out very very lovely, actual masterpieces! You craftily work other items from your travels into the flower antler, including some permanent Shield Dust. For Angela, you create a feather indistinguishable from the real thing at first glance. The jewelry left over for sale is worth $4500.
