[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

Shiva still had the feeling that Ven wasn't believing her that the Power Spot where she encountered an elusive Fennekin was no harm, but this only increased the eager to revisit this place with Braixen and show him first-hand. Even if they wouldn't encounter a Pokemon the time they're there, she was looking forward to it and hoped that he won't be too much on edge. He wished to protect her, which was very noble and appreciated, but what's the point of it if there is nothing to protect her from?

Since she actually had no real plans for what to do in Wineberry, she was fine to follow Ventus on his errands after swapping Braixen and the black-spotted egg for her faithful Electric rodents. They also received each one Oran Berry to hold. If they would indeed head down to the Base of Water Scimitars, it'd be a better idea to have Electric STAB on hand instead of Fire and and egg of that worth that not even Professor Mallorn nor her father had any idea what could hatch from it. Thinking of that, Shiva could not deny that the concept of Elemental Magic that the Scimitars seemingly engage in ...fascinated her just a little. However, she would be capable to hide that securely from both Ventus' empathy and Kirlia. The latter wasn't paying much attention to her lately anyway, which she held nothing against. Water Magic... Wonder how that might look like? The Scimitars of Earth were rather scary powerful persons, when they were able to create a swamp where there wasn't one and mess with them on Route 1... Ah, memories.

At the local market, she purchased three packages of what the vendor praised as Gourmet Food as he noticed how she showed an interest in the offered supply of Pokemon Food. If it's indeed that good and more enjoyable for Pokemon, Azurill might rejoice? She also got the idea of trying to get the dear blue used to the same meds Shiva was taking, but she RATHER QUICKLY threw that thought far away. She couldn't estimate what effect it may have, and she held Azu way too dear to risk anything.

At the library, Shiva left the others alone to search for desired information, while she herself was walking through the bookshelves without any particular aim. Maybe one book would catch her interest beside that hard copy of the Pokedex she found there, but she somewhat doubted to find anything that would match her taste in this small library. She hoped that if she would meet up with Professor Quickbeam at Telperion University to show that black-spotted egg/the hatchling to them, they'd allow her to pay the library of the University a visit as well inform herself about what kind of classes they teach there. Beginning to refresh existing knowledge to take on the exam for the Breeder's Lisence was relucant when she was able to do that in all peace and more efficient with the owners of the Daycare in Ginger Town.

So eventually, she placed herself at a table that was two tables in front of the spot where Nathan resided, and got herself comfy there with back turned to him for both not disturbing him and herself. First thing she did was plug cell to one of the free power sockets there to charge battery level again. Oh, civilation... She'll call the Fortune Hunter tomorrow because it was late meanwhile and she didn't wanted to disturb her unwillingly. Too keep herself occupied, Shiva drew that mythical book about Earth Lore she of course still had and carried with her, and began calculations whether there is an special Pokemon nearby. She had no real intentions to go and see by herself if it turn out that there should be due to the result of calculations, it mas more out of curious interest. Afterwards, she would rummage through that Guidebook to see what it had to say about Earthstar Forest, remebering that the Skald mentioned this place. Maybe at that forest, depending what habitat it provided and how the climate there is, it hosted special Pokemon to see, even Morelull? Somehow she doubted that though, and even if, this species is only encounterable at night. (That's your call, @Iron! What does the Guidebook tell me about the place?)

Cottonee was resting next to her beloved Master on the table. While Shiva did not noticed that Nathan and Ventus seemed rather occupied and acted somewhat...suspicious, Cottonee did and was constantly glancing over to them curiously. It was only a matter of time untill Shiva would notice this or Cottonee would alert her Master.
