[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

The first thing Shiva glimpses is a little sparkle of bioluminescence in the growing darkness. It reminds her a bit of fairy light, especially of the mythical fairies that are not Pokemon, but tiny little people with wings. (few adults actually believe in these in Creshire).

From below the flakes of light, a soft growling emerges. Then a little black snout, fanged, holding a sandwich. Poochyena leaps from the road shoulder onto the main road, and Shiva sees the source of the weird light: a pair of TINY Butterfree-style wings sticking out of his back. They flutter oh-so-faintly as he ascends the stone. Scales come off them like a Silver Wind, floating in a cloud around Poochyena. The wings are nowhere near big enough to hold his weight - they couldn't even support a Butterfree - and they flap slowly on their own as if catching the last rays of sunlight through the clouds.

Shiva's not entirely sure what she's found here.

(Before all that happens, unplanned level-up in Empathy!~ That Speciality might not be used in battle-related rolls, but seeing a few times how it's useful for interactions, there we go.)


A slight sparkle at the corner of the eye ended the pondering of Shiva's mind on the Move Tutor's words. Curious about non-threathening rarities and mystically-related things, that surely caught her attention and she stopped mid-path - not only because it somewhat the image of fairy light sparkling appeared in her mind. Weird... Wonder if these creatures live in Chreshire? Probably not, but who knows...

Looking around only to find none is around eyesight and probably already at camps because it was getting darker and darker and she actually desired to meet up with the others to not be forced to sleep over under the bare sky, she descided to coldly forfeit this and find the source of the light. Whether it was a good decision to leave the others waiting after that hard time they had this morning or not, she wasn't that sure, but now that the light found her... Maybe if she just sits down right here and awaits the source will reveal itself, so after a quiet and careful "Cottonee...you saw this? Bioluminescence... Nope, you stay here with me. You too Litwick, please stay back - I desire not to accidently scare anything away." Placing the hand with the candle to the ground to allow Litwick to get firm ground under his feet if he desires.

... It was a Poochyena. Neat - how did it emitted such a ligh... Okay. O-KAY... This Pokemon was something Shiva NEVER EVER saw before, neither in any of the many books and articles she stumbled over over the nineteen years she's walking on this plant by now, and her mind needed a little to proceed how the hell these tiny Butterfree-wings came to the back of this young dog-hyenalike Pokemon. Poochyena she knew - but not such Poochyena... She just stared at it, while being overly amazed by this special Pokemon and an instant yet strong desire to see her OT and ID displayed beside the picture of this Poochyena on screen. It could be everything, from a halluzination accidently induced by some weird herbs in the tea she had before the group departed from the Center to a natural hybrid to the experiment of an overly bored Breeder - playing around with Pokemon's genes with the aim to hatch weird hybrids was not very appreciated among Professional Breeders since it was a grey area in the Unova-League's law, that much she knew.


...My dear, it'll get away if you don't do anything.
No!!!

"Lil' one... Poochyena... No, don't get a way, wait! You're...absolutely beautiful, I like the glow you or your 'wings' emit... What are you doing here though? Doesn't your species usually live in grasslands, or did you decided to take opportunity of the benefits of humans passing by this Route and dropping food? Wait a moment... I have something you might enjoy..." Rummaging in backpack a little - slowly, to not accidently scare the elusive dog away - she drew a package of the small stock on Gourmet Food she had, tore it open and offered the Poochyena a handful of it to enjoy if he/she likes! With the keen sense of smell AND possibly being human-accustomed, let's see whether she can lure this Pokemon to her...
