When Nathan approach Heart nod his head to him. "Good day mate. How things go with your dad?" When Nathan said about the HM-FLY Heart was happy too. 

"That's awesome! Now with that, there only Dive and Waterfall to find. Did you dad...said something about if I could guard the HM-FLY?" Heart then ask Nathan the HM and teach Quetzal, Fate and Golurk the Move. He can't wait to test out the new move to Fly in the back of his Metal Serpent! He waited long for this day!

"Wait." Before Terra could somehow run away or something else he heard Heart talk with him...he was with a strange mix of feelings, but when Terra see him, he could only a acceptance smile...a bit sad, but at the same time a acceptance one...like he imagine Terra would refuse.

"I understand my friend. *Sigh* I the one who should apologize. Ask such thing, in the moment of our final battle, this was not the best time in say such things. I imagine if there was a time to ask such thing...But I understand and respect your decision."

"But, can you blame me for trying? If something happens, I don't want to have regrets. I still consider you a great friend Terra, no matter what. Refusing or accept don't change that in any way."

He gave Terra a punch in his shoulder. "So, cheer up big guy. I not bad or anything. I actually relief you are been honest with me, and thank you for that again. Just don't die okay? I still want to fight you when this all over. Gustav is inching to fight Lovely. He wants to see who among them is the best Water-type."

At their request, the rugged wanderer did stop, and heard him out once more. Like just in their prior exchange, he was taken aback by his friend, though much less so and for different reasons. Mainly, he was surprised to see them so understanding about his blunt rejection, but in the end he mirrored their smile to an extent, his more bitter than sweet.

"......Thank you, Heart. Maybe one day you can become my brother. One day...."

His mood didn't quite lighten per their second request, but at least he returned to his previous Ultra-Seriousness, pausing briefly to consider their words and then sharply nodded.

"Okay. I understand.....and will try not to die. *Faintly smiles* Me too. Have already proved Strength and Skill to me, but like to test it myself against your best."

Firstly, Spira's interaction with Jerry;

"Hey, I heard that you were the go-to person for bug Pokemon, I got this rather cool Yanma that I'd like to have learn Bug Bite, something to round out its biting abilities," If Jerry asks about that, Spira will summon Neura to show off his elemental fangs.

Next: Other supplies/stuff

After Terra gives Spira the goods that he requested and his share of the cash, he'll stock up in the following way:

-5x each of Sitrus and Oran Berries

-5x Super Potion (3500$)
Concerning Fly:
Spira only teaches Fly to Luna

Spira spends most of the night walking the town and observing the nightlife.

Next Day!

Spira is rather nervous about what is coming up, "Well, here it is, the battle of our lives is upon us." he sighs, "I'm ready when you guys are. Let's go hunt a space being."

When Genesect is strapped into the HM FLY, its skin begins shifting and splitting. Near the base of its spine, a primitive water cannon emerges, similar to what you might see on a Blastoise.

Genesect learns FLY!

Nathan strides into the Lobby alongside Gallade, looking confident and prepared, the Sword hanging by his side. And then the next moment, he's found the rest of the group and started chatting with them.  "My dad fetched the item, as requested.  We'll take a moment to teach it to our pokemon...and then we'll be off to our battle with Deoxys.  Everyone's prepared, right?  Deoxys will have cloned itself another 2 or 3 times overnight, so we should expect to be facing greater numbers."

When he arrives, Shiva gives him the same quiet morning greeting she already gave Heart and Terra, then goes back to following the news and playing with Nightshade in an attempt to overplay her inner tension. She IS somewhat nervous given she's very aware that she's about to start what she considers as the final trial to become the hero she's so been striving to be, but she's just as ready and determined to go about it, there's absolutely no room nor reason to turn back now. Not that Shiva would want this either way.

Already told about her Team, it's Whimsicott, Nightshade, Yena, Delphox, Pangoro and Kyuu. I'd like to keep the Held Items secret as that may spoiler their role and purpose in the team. I've been so free to update the Skull Ruins Party Doc for everyone.

She responds with a neutral "I know" and "I am" towards Nathan's words, then waits for her turn with HM Fly: "Give your dad my honest thanks for retriving this machine, will you? Because this one's really pretty." Shiva's watching for a little how the lightnings strike and the thunder rolls quietly within the glass cylinder, and teaches this nice move to Raphael, Tropius and Fletchling, basically all her flying Pokemon before returning it.

Then she coughs and raises her voice a little. "So, and where do we head now in particular? It'd be...nice if we could meet up with Cosh and Co. in Stair City and then take a flight in direction impact side all together, given we're practically fighting as one union with the Artifacts. Heart, is there enough room so we could all fly with your special Steelix?" Shiva's not saying 'Delta' deliberatelly, but she doesn't seem to have qualms about flying on him in this case.

Spira is rather nervous about what is coming up, "Well, here it is, the battle of our lives is upon us." he sighs, "I'm ready when you guys are. Let's go hunt a space being."

Shiva picks that nervosity up, and shoves a second cup of coffee towards him with a look of 'Drink this, it'll help' and whispers a "Don't let your tension overrun you, try to let it power you up instead."

Heart when finished up his cafe he grabbed/buy a few other items: 5 pairs of aviator glasses and 5 parachutes. When he returns to the lobby he gave each of companions the 1 each of the items. "Since we gonna use most of us the HM-FLY for the first time, we better be prepared in case we fall from sky. These googles will also serve to see better in case of strong winds."

[Dragonstrike]

Heart: "No, my dad didn't say anything about that, Heart.  Mostly because nobody's asked him if we can even hold onto it in the first place. There's a lot more HMs to find besides DIVE and WATERFALL, too. Now's not really the time for any of that, though.  Let's focus on the mission at hand."

Shiva: "...why Stair City?  That's farther away from Elanor.  They could just meet us here or by the Safari Zone.  Oh, and you can thank my dad yourself, because he's joining us for this fight."

Terra: Nathan refuses to say anything about Genie's antics, not wanting to give her the satisfaction of seeing him complain about such a minor thing, particularly when there are bigger problems right now.  He would have definitely given Angie a few affectionite pats and rubs himself, but yeah, this isn't the time for cuddles!  They've got a job to do!

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

Whoops, must have missed anything about Genie until it's mentioned now. But Shiva would absolutely enjoy to do mischief with the desertdragon at a whole new level now that they CAN FFFFLLLLLYYYYY!~~ Despite the serious situation, she can't help but to gift Genie a small smirk, looking forward to long-overdue more playtime already. But first, they two need to save the region and all that, responsibilities call.

Shiva: "...why Stair City?  That's farther away from Elanor.  They could just meet us here or by the Safari Zone.  Oh, and you can thank my dad yourself, because he's joining us for this fight."

σ(￣、￣〃) "Because Cosh said he and the others have to do some preparations at the Almanac Headquarter. But guess what, let me just....contact him himself and ask..." This means, Shiva burrows that transmitter Cosh once gave them to stay in contact with Terra at the Kadabra Chambers, and sees if she can reach through to the earthy wizard. "*cough* Cosh, you there? So, well, we're ready to depart then, what about you and your people? Where shall we meet up with one another at best?"

How she plans to make a small detour to the Grove, Cosh doesn't need to know.

[Iron]

"Do you have FLY? If so, we can meet anywhere I can get to. I'm in the Almanac HQ west of Cress right now, well within Teleport range of Cress or Teazel Valley. All set to go!"


When Shiva flies over the Grove, she notices a strange ripple in the earth where the grove used to be. It's as if the Grove vanished, and the land on either side stretched to meet it.

With your sixth sense, you can't detect Primal Lurantis or the Grove's aura, but there is a strong protective presence over the pucker.

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

To Cosh: "Yes we do now, and we're just as set to go. Glad to hear you are as well! So..." Shiva moves her gaze to inquire everyone about the following, asking for their approval non-verbally: "...We'll meet at Teazel Valley then, near the entrance of the Safari Zone. Until then, Shiva over."


About the Grove, she makes extreme haste to get there, Shiva's ending up panting upon finally arriving at this scared place. Or, at what remains of that place... Part of her is a little downcasted, a bigger part of hers is relieved though as Primal Lurantis appearantly took massive safety measures. So massive that she can't even sense the presence of either of its inhabitants, which confuses and amazes her at the same time...? Hehe... She feels this way Deoxys can't reach through this place.

Still, Shiva can't just leave, carefully she dares to get as close to that strange ripple as possible and places a hand on it even if she can do so. If that triggers any traps or similar, she's got the Shield to protect her. Her voice is quiet but clear when she speaks up: "...Lurantis? You there? It's Shiva here, the one who gave a small unicorn and even smaller flower fairy into your care and protection........ I see you've taken safety measures as I would totally miss that there's something special at this place if I would be innocent. If you, Ophelia and Fuchisa are in certan safety, can you at least give me a sign? Please? I need that assurance before heading to face the threat from space, the worry would distract me otherwise, you see..."

Shiva feels that even if Primal Lurantis answers, it'd be rude and inapporpriate to ask whether They would be willing to join fighting, even if she could ensure Their safety with the Shield, so she abstains from throwing in this ask. The Grove's safety has priority, and letting its caretaker fight at the front whether They are better suited for/have chosen a defensive positon doesn't sound like the nicest thing to do.
