@Lord Windos, there you go:
And a theme I find fitting for that whole Healer-scene.


... He touched her again, this time by the shoulder. But given that familarity they've built up so far, she let him. Aside from that, while watching over him and the injuries Scyther has infliced on him while Nathan was busy, she showed on her own yesterday evening that she did not mind that and even felt inclinged to return some of that habit.

Having a slightly worried and counfused tone in her voice. "Well... If he doesn't want to share why we found him passed out there, we should not pressure him, should we... Reshiram will watch over him. Hopefully." Maybe they'll even meet up again later, as Ven suggested...

So he was staying with her then waiting for the Healer to have finished... That's fine... It'll surely make time pass faster, as well give the opportunity to ask something that was on her mind. He already offered and opened the scene. With one of his infamous smiles on top of that.


Shiva placed herself beside him, as he offered, thankful for the gesture. The rest of the Tea has cooled down by now... What remained was a slightly bitter liquid. Still tasteful and refreshing though.

It took a few moments before she turned towards him and began speaking. Weird situation... They were alone in a Healer's shack, surrounded by herbs hung up to dry and glassware filled with liquids and powders of all colours. "If you say so... I've been... actually wondering where in Unova you originate from. And where you studied. Back then in Trillium, you mentioned having a Doctor's Degree. It took me a while to mull over in what subject... Until you answered that already at some point- Sociology. That...came suprising for me  to be honest - You mentioned classes in 'Advanced Pokemon Handling' and 'Breeding'... Wondering whether it was a small private college you attended that I must have missed somehow while gathering up information..."

Her voice only grew calmer the more words she spoke out aloud. „... ... ... You know, before I came here, I've been looking for an apprenticeship in a Daycare. I know that I just could have just stayed with my father and help him out in the job, but actually it'd be better to get a real professional education in this field. Now, surely he is experienced and professional in his job as an independent Pokemon Breeder – but it's something different because it's within the familiy, somehow. … However, the main one near Nacrene City refused, telling me that they don't offer any education in this field at all. No success in several Pokemon Shelters either.“

"Next up was the thought of studying something into that direction. ... No University around specialized in the subjects of Pokemon Care and/or Breeding. At least none I found. Castelia's University lays her main focus on Research and Medicine, that that did not came into question."

"I was...quite disappointed by being hindered in my future plans without it being my fault, to put it bluntly. Staying with my father was it then, he continued teaching me on his own in the field. Until... I was told that he and Mum have found something that might be something for me. It'd be in a far region called Chreshire, and I'd be offered the tasks of a Pokemon Trainer. I was absolutely puzzled at first by their intention and how this would help me... Saying that I don't feel inclinged being a 'Trainer' and am fine with watching battles instead of involved in them... However, being assured that it'll be for my own good and they got in contact with the local Pokemon Professor there tawed me over time. One month later, I found myself in the plane for departure."

She paused a little before continueing, all while keeping and slowly twisting the twig of red herb in her hand. And not facing Ventus. She was not used to talk about herself, she did not even felt inclinged to share - it just happened, she was probably lured by the fact that he alredy shared so many of his thoughts with her... Good thing that the herb does not stare back at her... "By now, I think I begin to understand why this journey through the region will be benefitial for me." Right... the care of own Pokemon. The responsibility for them, the fact that they rely on Shiva for their well-being. They belong to her, they see her as their Master and caretaker. "They showed respect and trust in me in Ginger Town's Daycare... There's also a Univerity in this region, in Botanville if I'm not mistaken... You see, such experiences are precious. Same when you wake up in the morning and have a Cottonee all cuddled up to you for no other reason than its fondness and loyality to you."

The latter thought indeed made her smile a little... the species of Whimsicott is known to be an affectionate and cuddly friend to a humans... if it has grown a fondness to a selected person. Als Shiva was missing was a precious Sun Stone...

Mechanics:
Then it's conversation time with Ven instead (until the Healer has finished) since he already offered! I won't ask about his 'connection' to Genesect though, since I feel this should be elaborated while Nathan is present as well. C:
