"I see. So that means that that she probably made it to this time normally."
With that, Spira's bargaining is done; he doesn't visit Leigh now, but he might sometime soon.

Nathan actually approaches Spira and puts a hand on the breeder's shoulder.  He'd been listening to Spira's requests.

"...I might not know the whole situation, but if there's anything I can do to help, I wouldn't mind doing so.  Heck, it might even give me one more reason to seriously consider taking a trip to Sinnoh...in any case, there are ways that last request of yours might be accomplished.  They'll probably be difficult to find, but...maybe that wish could be granted.  Heck, the Millenium Comet's even in the sky right now.  Perfect time for wish granting if you ask me."

Spira doesn't say anything back to Nathan, he just gives the boy a faint smile, that if it was words, it'd be a single one: 'Thanks'.

The Well glows again, and Yamask's eyes suddenly light up. It swivels on the spot and begins phasing through the walls on its way to to find its tomb at last!!

Then the Well surges and a massive waterspout washes over the beach, depositing three Pokemon onto little islands.

One is a wriggly sea-horse. One is a shrimp with a gun for a claw??? And one is a golden bivalve.

Wild Shrimputy appeared!
Wild Eletux appeared!
Wild Shiny Shellder appeared!

Wild Shiny Shellder appeared!

The moment that the Shiny Shellder is thrown out of the water, Terra IMMEDIATELY sicks Mikey on them, with the same set of Orders of Spore/Stun Spore/Facade X3 used on Shiny Slowpoke, with the only modification to them being for him to try and not Faint it (Get them to - 2 Pain). After that, he'll attempt to capture it with Regular Pokeballs until its his. 

At long last, with Shiny Shelldar caught, his goal is at hand and almost complete! The only thing left for him to fulfill it being to Trade his Shiny Slowpoke to someone while holding the Pyroar Crown (Reviving it with his Hurtloam if necessary for it to work), and then get Shiny Shelldar to bite onto their head in order to Evolve it into The Ultimate Slowking!!! If its possible for him to register the Shiny Sheller to one of the party's OT's so that he can 'trade for it' with his Shiny Slowpoke (In order not to cause a Loyalty Roll/Hit from anyone elses Pokemon) and for that to automatically happen (As I don't really see why anyone wouldn't want to help him out Evolve his Shiny Slowpoke, except perhaps Nathan), that would GREATLY help speed things along!

Oh, and if its okay with Heart/Spiritmon, Terra would send Angie over to help them Faint Shrimputy/Eletux, as that is the least he can do for them right now!

Do I still have enough energy to her tell me Selkid location @Iron? If not, sacrifice Golett Flash for 3 Energy

You sacrifice Flash and get another Unown map. There are Selkid in Murkrow Cove, at a secret island that only shows up once a week.

Spoiler

Heart makes a friendly approach towards the sea horse and fire crabber. "Don't need to be scary. My name is Heart, a Pokemon trainer. Don't need to scary of me."

He also summon both Posei and Gustav to friendly approach the new meet Water type Pokemon. Maybe this help?

Heart also request Terra assistance to keep the water type calm down. He offer sons food like fruits.

*Flashback?*

The best that Terra can do with Non-Diplomatic capture attempts (IE: Beating the stuffing out of them) right now is trying to quickly whip up some tasty sandwiches that might entice the strange water horsey and gun shrimp into a more serene state of mind + joining voluntarily/without a fight, so that's what he's going to do to help! I presume he'll be helping out Heart prior to Evolving Shiny Slowpoke, so as not to cause any delays IC and more smoothly transition to the next scene of the story afterwards (Trying to get the Shield for Nathan/Shiva/Spira).

(Since this is part of a Capture Attempt of sorts, I imagine that they'll be a Roll (8D6 [INS + Science: Chemistry]) for making those tasty sandwiches? )

By chance, that secret island will appear today? And according to that map we close to Murkrow cave?

Murkrow Cove is in Corsage Port, where the Ghost gym leader lives. East coast, and you're in central Creshire.

The two summoned Pokemon are exhausted from being dragged up from their homes. They eat the food without complaint. The shrimp surprises you by shooting the fruit right out of your hand in a blast of superheated air and eating up the tiny little bits. It looks like it would prefer live prey.

The hippocampus is very docile and eats the fruit right out of your hand.

[Lord Windos]

(You maybe had to get someone else to catch Shellder as a different OT, or do some round-robin trading, just gonna zip past that though)

Spoiler

The Pokemon releases itself from the Pokeball in the glow of the trading radiation. Both Pokemon are glowing, as the Shellder becomes long and crownlike, and Slowpoke's hips rotate to become bipedal. Pink light is glowing in the Well as shiny Slowpoke evolves into shiny Slowking with the provided shiny Shellder and special Pyroar's Crown.

Congratulations! Your Slowpoke evolved into Slowking! You've created the ultimate Shiny.

Slowking has 0/0/3 Disobedience. Its ability is now Own Tempo if you want (gotta decide right away).
It learns Future Sight.

Ultra-shiny Slowking is a rich royal purple. He leaves a veritable carpet of shiny scales everywhere, but the scales themselves are more reddish than they are purple. This red carpet doesn't fade/disperse until about five minutes after Slowking has passed.
Its golden crown has faint lines like stonemasonry, and the spikes are the color of a Selkid's hair, with slight curves to them. The purple gem has a spiderweb of golden cracks in it shaped like a trident. The collar is golden and red and silky like a male Pyroar's mane.

Like Solomon, your Slowking cannot speak Common aloud. But it has a habit of rearranging nearby items, Pokemon, or especially Unown, to spell out simple phrases when it has trouble communicating. Instead of writing, it likes to tear up books and use the individual letters to spell new things.

Once per day, Slowking can request an Encounter with an Unown (your choice of letter) or a random Water type.

This Slowking badly needs a name!

(Uh.....Slowking already knew Future Sight as a Slowpoke, so it learning it again seems a bit redudent. Regardless, fantastic description of The Ultimate Slowking, Iron!)

The Ultimate Shiny Slowking's Ability will be Own Tempo (at least until it gets 1 XP so that it can change it to Moxie)!

As his newly Evolved sloth's superbly resplendent form was revealed, Terra suddenly had a not too small urge to bow to it, so strong was her opulent regalness and grandeur. She truly had become the Ultimate Slowking, as no one could deny or contest her of the mantle.

He resists the impulse of course (If Legendary Pokemon couldn't bend/break his Will without using a Plot Device, nothing can!), but it and his magnificent monarch's sheer stunning glorious nature gave him the perfect name for her, and he conveys it to her by place a hand on their crown and looking them respectfully in the eyes.

"Your name will be Sarimanok. One of the greatest kings in Cheshire's history, before he turned bad. It is heavy name, but I know you will carry it well, redeem it, and make it your own. Be now a wise and kind ruler, partner."

(...) Instead of writing, it [Ultra-Shiny Slowking with the kingly name] likes to tear up books and use the individual letters to spell new things. (...)

Oh.... In that case, Shiva makes sure to keep the books she always carries around = those she brought from home FAR away from this Slowking, at least until they're not obediant to orders. She definitely does not want them to be shred regardless how regal the Pokemon is. :C

Aww. With Electrux permission, Heart would like to path approach his hand towards him (any reaction from them @Iron?

Heart offer some jelly and energy drinks to restore their energy. "Like I told you two before, I a Pokemon trainer, and if you want you two could join me. You could had the chance in hunt different prays from this place, or see the entire Cheshire region. Maybe even see Tandor, your home."

"But if not, how about a Pokemon battle? Me and my friend Terra against both in a friendly battle without faint. If you two win, you join me. If not, we leave you alone. We patch any wounds you received. How it sounds."

[Lord Windos]

Alright, since Dragonstrike raised a good point about this, after the naming ceremony is complete Terra would humbly ask what and how much she knows about the Skull Ruins generally and specifically, in past and present times, and anything particularly special/dangerous like The Artifacts exact locations. If she can't use the nearby Unown to spell out her answer, he'll provide one of his dictionaries (For when he comes across a word/words he doesn't understand) to use as 'spelling material' . If she's reluctant/obstinate about answering his request, he'll try to bribe her with some delicious treats to spill the Gummis.

[Dragonstrike]

Nathan has one more thing to say to Spira (@Mikaruge108) before he backs off for now.  "If you ever want to talk about it, Gallade and I are more than willing to listen, okay?"

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

To say Nathan isn't a tad jealous of Heart getting to encounter an Eletux of all things would be a lie.  Man, that'd be a cool pokemon species for him to have...

...but Nathan still doesn't want to put his pokemon through that 'process'.  Not for something that selfish.

...his mind wanders back to Machamp again after that thought...would it be right to...?

Nathan shakes his head.  No, no time to think about that right now.  He'll worry about that later, after he's asked his dad about it and is more prepared for...what would have to be done.

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

When Terra evolves that Ultra-Shiny Slowking...to say Nathan isn't awed would also be a lie.  That royal purple Slowking with a golden shellder crown is a spectacle in and of itself.  Nathan definitely wonders whether Solomon would get along with them, though...it could be mutually beneficial if they did get along, maybe, but given the Ultra-Shiny Slowking's general demeanor, early attempts at getting them to be friendly/cooperative with each other might end in failure even though Solomon is a bit tamer than most Slowking are...hmmmm...

...he's also not entirely certain if naming her after the Last King is necessarily a good idea...but, she's not Nathan's pokemon, so he simply hangs back and observes...

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

Once Nathan's gone again, Shiva would come back with the newfound loot still in her hands, and she would very very carefully hug Spira's right arm in a comforting/compassionate and definite non-lovey-dovey-style. Her gaze towards the spectral Breeder's one that silently asks whether things will be okay for him now after wish has been granted, and that she's feeling positive that they will one way or the other.

She quickly lets go of him though, then perks up. "Searching the area, I found this golden locket, senpai.... Say, would you like to have it? It's a bit old and rusty, but nothing some polishing couldn't change." Then she lowers her voice so that solely he can hear her. "A picture can be put inside... Maybe adding that one of her that fell from your book would be nice, it's too precious to accidently loose it."

[Spiritmon]

Did Yamask return from his search @Iron?
