All this happens at the evening of Day 6. Yes, flashbacks...

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

First up, Poffineering!~ @Lord Windos

Ven's good mood surely raises Shiva confidence... a little. After all, she looked forward to this, no actual need to be nervous here.

"Oh... Eh, actually, I got this poffin mixture from a Berry Vendour at the Festival yesterday... *she places it on the counter* He said it'll be splendid for the berries I want to use. Those are *placing all of them on the counter as well* those three Blukk berries, these three Razz berries, and finally these elusive Ranc berries."

Considering after looking at them..."I guess I'll two batches, one only containing Ranc berries - for Happiness! Appearantly, Pokemon love their taste... and one with a mixture of Razz and Blukk berries. They were growing right where I encountered Plusle and Minun, so I bet they will love those especially!" ... "We always cut to the berries to pieces at home before using them... "

*insert cutting noises of berries here, and carefully placing Ranc berry peices on a seperate plate*

"So, and what berries do you gonna use? If you hand them to me, I'll just cut them as well."

Next up is a scene after baking, in her room. @Iron, important mechanical stuff and a reaction for Pokemon are needed here.

Poffin baking too some time... It's rather dark outside by now. Stiil, Shiva could hear the noises from the still ongoingFestival because of the open window - the fregrence of air at night, filled with positive emotions from mentioned Festival was just to enjoyable to miss.

The Poffins themselves also turned out great! Who thought that Ventus was such a good tutor... His help and guidance was quite helpful. Level up in Crafts for 6XP.

Plusle, Minun and Cottonee were outside their balls, by their caretaker and owner's side. Dinner time.

The rodents looked rather tired, but joyful. After all, they spend the whole day at the Daycare playing and running around, well-rounded by a game of Shuckleball. Now, they're completing the day by sharing a Ranc Berry Poffin with one another.

Next up, Cottonee. The little fluffball looked rather...calm, yet eagerly at Shiva. As if the Pokemon was expecting something from her. Shiva carefully and gently petted the fluffball's head, before speaking to in a soft and caring tone. "Lil' fluffball... The number of companions is growing. With that, the number of Pokemon I have to care is growing as well. My responsibility is increasing. But...Listen, there is no need to prove anything to me, or feel inclinged to force my attention." F.A.E.S. is a serious matter - Cottonee shall not get any ideas. "Remember that you are my favorite among all. I greatly appreciate that you're satisfied with me by now, I thank you for allowing me to gain your trust. I won't disappoint you. After all, I promised that one day you'll be allowed to evolve to your Final Form, and draw power directly from the moon to blast your enemies." ... "I picked up you like the taste of following, so enjoy." Shiva placed some cotton-candy-in-a-box in front of the fluffball. It's from the same Vendor who told her about Swirlix.

Next up, her newest companion... Abra. Upon releasing, the Pokemon looked tired, but delighted. "Be welcome, dear one. From now on; I'll take care of you, and I'll make sure that you enjoy my care and presence. Thank you for allowing me to call myself 'your owner'." ... "You probably aren't used to in controlling you Psychic Powers, and therefor need a lot of rest to not get burned out. I allow you to sleep as much as you like, feel free to enjoy the atmosphere here in the room. I'll stay awake a little more. Tomorrow I'll take you to a place where you can enjoy some free time, for the sake of resting or meeting oher Pokemon, if you agree. But before that, enjoy some dinner." Shiva handed the Abra the same orchid-patterned plate, containing fresh Dry Food and Pirsif-berry-cookies. "I guess you'll also be called... 'Helios.' From your previous owner, I was told that you're a male exemplar, and I bet, one day, you'll be able to shine just like the sun."

With her Pokemon taken care of, it was time now to hit some books. Mostly the Guidebook from Professor Mallorn alongside a list of all Pokemon... The Daycare owners put some trust in her, and she doesn't want to disappoint them by coming up with a half-baked suggestion for the Infiltrator Pokemon.
