[Lord Windos]

The researcher raised an eyebrow slightly at Shiva pre-empting his question about the caffeinated beverage, but in the end shrugged and accepted it with a smile. Truthfully, he prefers his coffee with plenty of cream, suger, and all sorts of additives (which vary based on the day and what he was in the mood for), though he could drink it regardless. He was not one to turn down free gift of anything, especially when it was from a dear friend like Shiva!

Seeing her breeder's liscene momentarily made him forget himself and his current shameful shyness with conversing with them, as they turned around and gave them a great big Bewear hug with a huge, joyous smile on his face! "Oh Shiva, I'm absolutely delighted! You are a full fledged Breeder now, a true master in your field and an exemplar for other Pokémon caretakers to follow! Reshirim has blessed this day indeed, to deliever such wonderful events to you, my friend! Forgive me, though, if I'm a bit curious as to what question gave you so much trouble? I might not know much of the finer details and specifics of breeding, but I do know the principles and foundation of it, so perhaps I can help you solve that problem now?"

His witchy friend's next response was warmed his heart a bit as she talked adoridly about her own father, even if he had to suppress a few tinges of grief that arose as well, for obvious (To him, not her!) reasons. Ventus was taken aback when she offered to introduce him to their father, and he was about to stammer out a polite refusal when she brought up the reasons why. The sociologist paused for a moment, and thought over the pros and cons of meeting Shiva's father ('Pros: He expands his knowledge on Pokémon behavior + Breeding Knowledge, and has the chance to make friend with the man, and sharing the joy over his daughter's accomplishments. Cons: Inciting the man's anger for whatever reason, some of the event of their journey accidently being leaked and startling the man, and potentially get the Unova Feds to start spying on me once more. Hmm....), before he almost imperceptively gulp to himself and slowly nodded his head to her.

"I would be happy to meet with your father, Shiva. We both have plenty of knowledge in our respective fields to help out one another, and meeting the man that raised such a delightful and caring woman such as you would be a momentous occasion indeed! I rather do the meeting later than now, though. I'm not exactly...up to in depth conversation right now, as I have to prepare myself for Nathan's immeniat arrival and starting undo the wrongs I have committed against him. Speaking of the boy, where in Reshirim's name is he now? I expect that Absol giving him a bit of trouble catching it, but it shouldn't have taken him this long. Do you have any idea where he might be right now? Last I saw he was heading towards the daycare, so you would be the last one to know his wereabout right now..."

When she brought up the Gym Battle, the our natural sage of the battlefield quickly remember the supplies he bought for her future bought against Zamboni, and quickly takes out the 2 Full Heals and the Potion he bought at the market, before passing them over to her with a kind and generous smile. "No need to thank me for something I would have done regardless of the situation, my dear friend. As promised, here are the medical items I have purchased for your fight against the ice rink champion. Hopefully you won't need them, but better be safe than sorry, as the good saying goes! And please don't lose faith in your abilities, my dear friend. Your area of expertise and power does not necessarily lay withing the field of combat - though from what I have seen you are not half bad in it- but from the emotion bonds you develop and form between your Pokemon and friends. You may not have applied as much focus to battling as Nathan, Valder, or myself, but all that effort went into properly caring for your Pokémon, as I can clearly see and detect with my own senses. They adore you, Shiva, and will give it there all just to fufill your expectations and not be a disappointment to you. Be a shinnying, confident trainer to your Pokémon, and they will amply reward you for it, no matter the circumstance. Alright, Shiva? As for the Running, the only reason either Nate or myself joined it was to accomplish our own goals, though its clear by now who did a better job in their pursuits over all...."
