At this point, Shiva entered the Gym. While she was actually up to watch Ventus' Gym Battle, that one Ice Trainer got her, and before she could object, she was challenged to a battle... Well, while it was not against the Leader himself, it was surely an experience for itself. Cottonee also was enjoying the battle, while her newest team member...well, their time is yet to come.

Upon approaching Ventus and Nathan - and noticing how damn cold it was in this Gym, bit not mindong it for now - her Electric rodents jumped at her for cuddles. From...their slight disappointment visible and the atmosphere jere, she was assuming that the battle did not turn out as expected?

"So, eh... Sorry that I fell back right before the Gym... Was...challenged to a battle myself." ... "Ven, I assume you did not made it to win a badge? Nevermind... At least you tried. And I bet is was unique experience by itself."

True story, winning a battle was not the most important thing at all...For her. It's the experience that counts, the training, the delight a Pokemon is enjoying on a good battle, regardless of its outcome. Afterall, they're a big part in the proper raising of a Pokemon. Likely that she's standing alone in the party with this attitude. It's...like always... The more silent people tend to be overlooked and overshadowed by the loud and upgoing people. While without them... Calm yourself, dear one. Now is not the moment to be down because of this.

But just yet she could not estimate how Ventus himself is taking this loss. From his looks, he IS somehow disappointed over the outcome of the battle, but it hopefully does not reach too deep. Being absolutely devasted just because a loss in a battle...that's too much.
