[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

I'll flash forward a little, okay?


(Insert possible reaction to the result of Special Poochyena Encounter here) With that wrapped up and the awe over being lucky to encounter such a precious Pokemon on a Route that she never expected to bring up so many interesting Pokemon and people - somewhere along the way, she even met the Fortune Hunter! Shiva had to try hard to not succumb to the eager to learn to read Runes via the book she was selling (since she wanted to save her money for whatever Stair City could bring up), but she certainly wasn't above thanking again and personally for the book containing collected native music from Hog Potato/Peanut Swamp.

It was kinda dark meanwhile as Shiva resumed the path. How thankful she was for the cozyness the new Ninetails-scarf provided, as well as Litwick serving as a portable light source additionally to the street lamps... That her spectral candle's light was blue and he was probaby constantly yet in very small amounts feeding his Master's life force to his flame didn't bother her for now.

What did bother Shiva though was that there were tons of campinggrounds beside the path. Well, neat, how is she supposed to find her group among them in the ever growing darkness and various people residing there? They can't be far away though...Nevertheless a quick feeling of helpfulness emerged in her inside. Maybe just calling them and hope that any of them will pick up their cell or Poekdex in Nathan's case could be a good idea...Ventus however already thought ahead and was so kind to have left a voice message with instructions to reach the pace he set up for the night! Oh how relieving it was to hear his recorded voice... She typed a message back to him, reading the following:
"Dear Reshiram, thanks for the instructions, Ven... Route 4 got me busy (in a positive way, I'm doing fine), but I'll head to you people now and should be there in a few minutes. Tell the others if they're worrying, please keep some of any prepared dinner warm for me, I'll also need your help on a spectral Pokemon I picked up along the way."

Packing the cell away, she increased her pace and followed the instructions, Litwick still on her hand and his blue light visible from afar and distinguishable from normal articial light. She was exhausted when she'll arrive at the camp, but not yet to a point where she'll need rest right away and unseeable filled with and warmed by the good times Route 4 was giving her. Yet unaware of the future-Slowking and Heart's run-in with Nathan. No, Ventus and Heart since he too likes Dragon Types, Shiva is not wearing the Sylveon-Dragon-Slayer-Tshirt currently, but her Ninetails-scarf.


------------
Mechanics:
I'll let the others (probably @Lord Windos due to the message she sent) react to Shiva appearing first. Wonder how the group will find her new Litwick, and she to seeing that they're in odds with one another again... She isn't around for a little and things already develope into the wrong direction... Mediator Shiva is on the way to hopefully provide comfort, keep the group from getting at each other's throaths and Ventus from getting frustrated even more!~
