[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

How adorable! The little Fletchling didn't objected as Shiva gently stroke it under the beak, instead it even began to chirp happily. Neither did it mind to be nudged with a Pokeball. That's the third Pokemon now she got to join her without any battle or violence... Feels good. Given that Fletchling didn't even exist in Unova and it will gain Fire Type upon evolving into a Fletchinder, this singing bird was quite a neat addition to her so far companions. Additionally comes the side effect of being helpful in the process of egg hatching - this time for real, the Charm was more an emotional help.

Upon being called out of the Pokeball again, the Fletchling flew around a little in high spirits of the thought of traveling alongside this girl who randomly came along and feeded her cookies (Fletchling shall be a female exemplar!), before it came to rest on the offered side of her right hand, looking up expectantly on new Master. (I feel that this would be a better place instead of carrying it on sgoulder.) Shiva could not help but smile at the sight the bird was giving her. "You got enough cookies for now, dear one. How about we go back to the others then? None will hurt...you..." At the last two words, her smile slightly faded, and instant worry flooded her. But only for a moment... No need to scare Fletchling unneccessarily. She just...realized that she's carring a small singing bird on her hand... And Ventus had an Arbok... At first glance, sounds like perfect dinner for the snake. At second glance...she trustd Ventus enough in the fact that he'll take care not to let his snake consume her bird. He just...wouldn't let that happen. Never ever... He wouldn't dare to hurt her, nor to threaten the sort of friendship they've build up by now, wouldn't he? No, he wouldn't. Never. Just...trust him. Yeah, that'll be it. Trust in him for now, and don't make him worry. (Unconsciously she may nevertheless act a little vary around Apsis, but that might rather come from her discomfort around Snake Pokemon in general.)

Just as Shiva turned to leave, that bush she fished that Fletcling from caught her eye again. Now, at a closer look, it turned out to be a Oran Berry Bush... And it indeed held some berries! She only found one that was ripe to be harvested, though. Oh well, their natural time of being harvested is yet to come, after all. Starring at the Oran Berry for a moment, she decided to cut it in two pieces using a small pocketknife and give one peice to both Fletchling and Minun to eat up, since those two were her current Pokemon around. Now it's really time to go back, she wouldn't want the others to leave her behind, wait for her, or worry for her!

On the way back, following the River, she remembered what that...Trainer with the Dratini said... Obviously, there were no Dratini to be seen just now. But maybe Ventus would be interested to hear this... After all, he expressed a liking for Dragon Types to her once.

Uppon arriving, she spotted that he was indeed there where she's been with the others before. Nathan, Larry and Valder were nowhere to be seen though, and Apsis was...practically hugging him. While sleeping, by the looks of it. What an...adorable look, to be honest... Shiva picked up that...confident feeling he was unconsciously expressing... was it happiness over the situation? In fact, there was no need to be scared of the cobra just now.

She greeted and carefully approached him, still carrying her new Fletchinder on hand.  "So, eh... Good to see you again. Where are the others? ... Ah, Nathan was off to battle a swarm of birds, Larry went to search for Bug Pokemon and Valder was off to search for a battle? Ugh...always up for fights, aren't they...?" Then her gaze fell on the top hat Ventus was carrying currently. But she didn't realize that there was a sad young Pokemon in it... (If she does, and sees that it's an Azurill on top of that, she'd probably be thrilled to bits. Currently, she is in a relatively happy mood, maybe that may have an effect on the Azurill. Fairy Types are sensitive to emotions, after all.) "... Where did you got that one from?"


(MECHANICAL NOTE, she went off to search for Fletchlings before Nathan or/and Ventus were dealing with the top hat at all. So she might not have realized it was in the river, at all.)
