"Shiva, dear, I have something important to tell you. Our mutual friend Absol is going to be visiting us tomorrow morning, just for a few hours. He's taking some medicine, similar to a Protein. The first stage of his training is complete. You are welcome to visit. And we thought your friend who was chasing the Absol could come too. We won't be telling him about the mission, of course."

(Sure she is alone, just Cottonee with her.)


Whoah, if both are there and are taking her aside, it must surely mean a thing. Nervousness strikes. Maybe the black-spotted egg hatched meanwhile? Hopefully not, she wanted to see that... Another job offer? Hmm, too early yet she feared... That only leaves - Infiltrator-Absol should arrive!~

It was an open secret that Shiva kind of desired to meet the Pokemon she recommended them to breed especially for that purpose, so she was quite rejoiced as this thought turned out true. Barely anything of that was visible on the outside though, most of it remained an inner feeling and was hidden away by her usual calm attitude. What a coincidence that she'll stay in Ginger Town for another day for the sake of healing up her Pokemon to full health again. Though, her instant thought on inviting the others of the group to meet it as well was an instant 'nope, not going to happen' for several reasons, but seeing that nothing of the mission will be leaked at all - it was still a risky task to do, but it cetainly was soothing and helpful. "I'd love to meet the Infiltrator, Golda. I'll be there tomorrow morning. Guess he should have the chance to not only take meds" - oh, that only reminded her on herself needing to restock on these - but also have the chance to socialize a little and prepare himself for taking his task? Makes sense to me, he shall not be doomed to a life of combat and loneliness. Not even a somewhat disliked Pokemon like Absol deserves that." ... "I'll also tell my goup about it. No word about the Almanac or the mission though - all information I'll give them is that an egg that has been incubated for a month has finially hatched, and it turned out to be an Absol, so it'll look like it's a rare chance to meet a young one of this species, since usually Absol keep their young high up in the mountains and hidden away in caves along them. I...cannot estimate how they and especially the one who chased - and caught plus kept! - one Absol during the Running will react, but I'll make sure to bring up the offer when we reunite at the Center tonight before heading to bed. Guess you'll see the result of it tomorrow moring then, if all comes to worst though, I'll come alone.

"Besides... Something different, Golda, you mentioned to me that both of you have a Pokedex here, to prevent the Protector-Eevee evolving accidently into an Umbreon? "Can I...uhm, lend it for just a moment, please? I got my Breeder's Lisence as well as the software of an egg checker, but I'm lacking an own Pokedex. But I'd enjoy to check on my weird egg to see the progress of it; it moved just one time so far and remained unspectacular ever since. Oh, and yes, I'm keeping with a Braixen a Fire Type in my party when I'm having the egg with me as well."

Mechanics:
If they allow, I'll install the egg checker on their Dex instead of Nathan's as actually planned (before I remembered that they have one in the Daycare to make sure they'll get an Espeon out of their precious Eevee) and check on how the black-spotted egg is doing so far. Probably have to deinstall the software afterwards since it's tighted to Shiva's ID and OT. Depending on the result, I'll either take the egg with me right away or tomorrow morning when meeting Infiltrator-Absol for the first time.
