[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

The fire was cozy and warm, Braixen did quite a well job. However, Shiva did absolutely not expect to startle Ven THAT much by enlighting the twigs and kindlings with her Pokemon's help, so the chuckling rather soon lowered out and got replaced with just a tad bit of remorse. Maybe it reminded him too much on Fire Magic... If so, Mystical Fire will likely scare him from the day on her fox learns that graceful move.

Shiva averted to face the researcher - some ordinary strub nearby was way more interesting - as some faint blush arose over the happening, placed one hand behind back and adjusted one strand of hair into place, all as a excuse to hide that biting feels. Unwillingly, she looked adorably cute and innocent like that. "Eh... I'm sorry for startling you THAT much... Wasn't my intention to do so... You were there busy, and I decided to speed up the process a little with a Fire Type.... you know... (What a good moment to level up on either Stealth or Allure. Or both~ But I'm collecting for more Vitality.)"

Luckily Nathan arrived at the scene just as the situation was about to become too awkward. He mumbled something about heading to bed early, and by the look he was giving, he looked rather exhausted. More emotionally drained than physically tired if Shiva would have to guess, but likely both was right. Was the issue with the happenings inside Gym before Chuckles could arrive still riling in him? At least he doesn't seem to be mad that she and Ventus went to examinate a Wobbuffet and took their time to reunite.

She also noticed that glance Kirlia was giving her before he joined Master inside the tent. It was just a quick glance, but she got the feeling that there was so much that the Psychic-Fairy was saying without speaking it out... (@Iron, you want to make an Insight Roll whether Shiva understands what Kirlia wants to tell her? If not, she can only assume things.)

As soon as Nathan has arrived  and practically speaking left already, she found back the courage to face Ven. "Oh... Looks like it'll be one person less for dinner. Let me serve dinner to my Pokemon first, then I can help you cooking..."

Additionally to the usual batch of dried berries and Dry food, she also placed that Pink Apricorn Nut onto the orchid-patterned plate before calling out all her Pokemon - and gently puling Cherubi out of Cottonee's fluff - and sliding the plate over to them to enjoy dinner. If one of her Pokemon would react in either way to the pink Apricorn, Shiva will notice. After dinner, Cherubi will be registered to a Pokeball and sent to Bill's PC with the assurance that this will shield her from hungry bird Pokemon in the area.

Now with that wrapped up, she came over to Ventus and helped preparing whatever he was preparing for dinner. Thinking of bird Pokemon, there were so many of them in the current area, that snatching one in case the food storage would get dangerously low wouldn't make such a loss, would it...? It wouldn't be much different from what a predator Pokemon does several times a day or night, but it'll have to be mostly Ventus who would prepare it since he was clearly the better one when it came to surviving in the wild.

"Oh, almost forgot... Hehe, you're not that wrong in your assumption that something pleasant happened while your were briefly absent. In fact, maybe you spotted my new addition to team already? It's that small Cherubi over there..." *she points to it* "Lil' one was hanging around on a whithering cherry tree, and I couldn't just leave it there with all the Pidgeys and Hoothoot and whatelse around. There are more birds than the last time we were in Fireweed Forest, don't you think...? Maybe mating and breeding season has started while we were busy in Corsage." ... "Eh, anyway, that Cherubi decided to come with me, and I was up to care for it. Another Grass Type!~ I...didn't took it with force, like those who took...well, you know. What did you call your Wobbuffet again? Me too was thinking about a good nickname for such a cherrylike Pokemon... 'Nightshade' sounds nice, another name for thep plant family of Solanaceae." Screw everything, Shiva was enjoying the thought of naming her Cherubi like that. ^^

He mentioned Psychic Types... Oh, right, his newest Team Member was Psychic, too. Slight embarrassment emerged as he commented how she collected quite a few exemplars of that elusive Type by now. "You're...actualy right on that, by now I own and Abra, an Espurr and that modified Roggenro - I'm sorry, Comite - being Psychic, and Braxen will gain this type as soon as he reaches his Final Form of a Delphox. Thanks to you, Kyuu - Espurr - even learned Confusion, thank you for that again! All of them are somewhat my Counter against nasty Poison Types - nothing 'gainst Apsis, I knwo you can handle that Arbok and prevent it from harming any of our Pokemon, but... just in case we run into anything toxic. They should be able to protect me and my Fairies, so I gladly hear what you can tell about the handling and raising of Psychic Type... I believe other than fairies, they connect to their owner's mind that actual feelings, but their mind-altering powers can be just as strong, can they?"

Shiva was uncommonly chatterboxy currently... Well, hopefully this doesn't put Ventus into too much worries for her mental state.
