[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

(Hm, I thought according to Iron we're allowed to skip food managment...? Whatever, @Lord Windos, am I allowed to assume our two charas stop by at the cafeteria before meeting up with Vince and Nathan? Should be fine, shouldn't it...?)

- Interlude -

Shiva has barely seen anyone with such an appetite. And that in the mornings. Well, okay, none of them has eaten anything last night - Fool! He couldn't, he was unconscious... You could just go downstairs to gather some dinner! - but nevertheless. It was adorable to watch though, so she was fine with just sitting there, watching him and the surroundings. Weather seems to be alright, too... No rain, at least. Seemingly Ventus felt much better. He regained spirits. Besides, a coffee was enough for her, preferably black with not too much sugar, she wasn't very fond of eating much in the mornings. In one or two hours, maybe. Probably. Seems like some Pokemon Centers still roast coffee beans by themselves, maybe that was more common in the countryside. Or they import some of Alola's special Pokebeans.

Still, she wondered what he meant by 'trying his best to be of assistence'... Does that mean he want to repay her taking care of him after passing out to an unopportune time? How does he imagine this to look like... Maybe, this way, she will get the change to ask him a few things that she couldn't help but to wonder about. ... God. Shiva, please stop overthinking and worrying. Just for now.

Before they two left cafeteria in direction to the lounge area of the Pokemon Center, hopefully meeting the other party members there, she packed a few things from there into bagpack. Provisions for the journey to come. Mostly fruit, they're relatively durable. She still hoped to run across a few berry trees that hold ripe berries, after all, some of them are edible for humans as well. And might even come with healing effects. And water, in light plastic bottles. Mallorn said they'll have to cross a river on Route 1 - she can't remember that river's name, sadly - but drinking the water of a wild river wasn't always the best idea. Hopefully they'll be able to catch a good Water-Type soon, it would serve as a reliable source of drinkable water. Marill sure are adorable, personally, especially shiny ones... Oh, and a sandwich. Or two. Who knows when she'll run across such a neat arrangement of food again... ... ... How about another one?

- Jumping on now - 

Shiva could not help but to feel impressed at Ventus handling that Paras. She didn't even realised it was there in the first place... Plus, she thought that the Paras-line, in contrary to several other 'sunnier' Grass-Types, weren't fond of being touched, stroked or in direct affectionate contact with humans at all... Did Ventus had experience with the handle and bonding of Pokemon? On the other hand, doing so is likely to bring up some troubles (or rather, injuries) sooner or later... Though, that only made her feel slightly more liking towards him, maybe she'll even get to expand and develope her personal experience in the care of Pokemon with his help, especially one's own and not just those that were given to take care of temporarly...

Cottonee, seemingly a little worried because that thing's part Bug-Type, fixated its gaze on the little creature, as if it was trying to say something like 'Don't come near me or my Master'.


(PLAYER'S NOTE: I know she hasn't yet bonded per se with dear Cottonee yet, apart from having it outside its Pokeball and stroking through its fluffy parts occasionally. But let me assume it holds some sort of general liking towards her because of the things I just mentioned. Iron, should be alright as well, shouldn't it...?)
