Oh... If she wasn't mistaken, Shiva reached the outskirts of the forest while following the voices of the others - meanwhile, she could clearly distinguish them from background noises like the chittering of Bug-Types. There were less and less trees, and the path became more maintained the further one goes. Were those Sailors and ships in the far horizon...? Corsage can't be that far away anymore.

Eh, anyway, she has arrived at this spot and...indeed, she made it to catch up. But they all seem busy/minding their own business...

But first - all that hasted walking has tired her out. Still not used to walking much fast. Although that carrying around of an egg in incubator as well as an Iron Ball were somewhat paying off (that's where the level-up in Strenght came from)... Being somewhat emotionally drained due to what Ven revealed to her about his past wasn't helpful either. In a calm moment like this the scene came back to her, but she quickly brushed it off. None will complain if she'll take a break right here... She sat down just where she was and leaned backwards against the trunk of a tree, taking a few deep breaths, before she called out Cottonee and Fennekin from their balls. The fluffball was as eager as always at the sight of her caretaker - been a while since she was able to spend some time outside the Pokeball! - while Fennekin was stretching his legs like he just awoke from a pleasant slumber.

She told her companion Pokemon that they'll be taking a break here, and encouraged them - Azurill included - to enjoy a little free time to play and train their moves, while she herself will rest and watch over them as well as the other party members here.


Shortly after, the Pokemon were engaging in what could be called a playful teamwork-training-session:
Cottonee was blowing up yellow and orange leaves from the ground using Fairy Wind.
Fennekin tried to set them ablaze with Ember while they were still in the air.
Azurill was encouraged by the cottonball and fox to put them out with Water Gun before they reached the ground.


Shiva, meanwhile, held that fainted Spearow wrapped up in the souvenir towel close to her while trying to call home. But, she never reached through, neither after several attempts... Must be the distance to Unova. Or the wooded area. Or both. Ah, she could still try from the next Pokemon Center, if not by phone then by the PCs there.

No new messages from any of their group either... That were good news, right? She was also wondering whether she should call the Daycare owners back... The last thing she heared, was Golda telling her discretly that the Infiltrator Pokemon with wished attributes has indeed hatched. A male one, also. But that was days ao.
