"Yes, Persian loves to battle. Here's your money, honey. Thanks for finding that Bindewort! See you in Ginger Town?"

Aww! She called her 'honey'! This caused a coy smile and a warm feeling from Shiva. "Of course we'll see one another in Ginger Town!~ Me and some others are on the way to reach town, and I have errands to run there. As for...The Running..." Her expression amd smile faded just a little, "You will be there as the Healer, will you? Take good care of the participans, okay? I would love to watch it by myself, but if I'm very honest... I'm somewhat scared of it. Maybe it's better to stay inside the Center if you desire to be safe and well, does it?"

As soon as they parted ways (if Xiani has nothing more to say after answering Shiva, that is), Shiva was just about to withdraw Cottonee into her Pokeball... When the fluffball darted out again only to pounce into her Master. This time though she was prepared, and didn't fall backwards on the impact of a wad of cotton that was indeed soft and fluffy, but there was quite the strength in the small Pokemon if needed. Or if not needed and just for playful shenanigans. Shiva replied to Cottonee seemingly looking for affection with a warm soft adorable cuddle that Ventus could only dream of.

"Haha... Yeah, thank you for battling for me in the first place... I love you too. You did rather well against that cat. ... Oh, you want to stay outside with me? Alright... Let's go and find the others then, okay?" Dusting of her clothes, Shiva began her way back to the Main Path and away from the place that brought a blasted poisonous Nidoran as well as the encounter of a Healer on a Ponyta looking for green petal flowers. But not before picking up a daisy and attatching it in her hair that still had a few petals in it as well finding a Blue Star to gift one of its flowers to Cottonee. Nothing would be able to stand in the way between fairylike nerd and mischievous fluffball . Started when Professor Mallorn handed her Cottonee as Startermon, those two created a bond that will continue evermore and only get sronger over time.

She almost forgot that they agreed on 300$ for the one who ended up victorious on the battle. Shiva accept it quite thankfully as Xiani brought that up again and handed the notes to her, but now to think about it... She felt rather rich with the current money she had. Her family was weathly with her father's business running good and her mother stocking up on budget by her job at the Medal Office (they pay well!), but Shiva never really cared that much about money until she had to look how to get by on her own in Chreshire. Now, she not only had more than enough for her desired Breeder's Lisence, but also enough to buy a Pokedex from Professor Mallorn... But, not now. Better save that money, even if the desire for her own Pokedex was still there, if only subliminal.

Keeping Cottonee close to her in her arms or floating beside her (as the fluffball desired), Shiva soon found the Main Path back.

Mechanics:
I'll leave it open to the others/at Gamemaster's discretion who she will run into first. If it's Ventus, they might head to Nathan together; but since he doesn't like being around League Officials, he can tell her what to tell Nathan. If it's Nathan, Ventus might spot them from a distance and send a text. If it's Valder, well, she'd be amazed how strong he became meanwhile!
