[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

...That Claydol must have somewhat noticed that Ultra Ball Shiva was already preparing to deal with that pesky Pokemon once it has been defeated, or it was simply a coward to rather flee after taking a hit from her faithful fluffball and seeing how its subjects (the Tangrowth) are not too much of a threat for the group as a whole. Whatever it was, what was it thinking was he imitating, that ancient King with his team of Legendaries?! Hmpf... Guess that Claydol-Kingdol made itself an enemy in Shiva.

Now that it was gone though and seeing that her travel companions ahave already delt with the Tangrowth well enough without her he... Wait, wrong phrasing! ...Their Pokemon managed to defeat these Tangrowth while she was busy with their assumed Leader, Shiva now had the chance to put a the thing in action she wanted to do right away as she saw them using Knock Off: Retrieving her Pokemon's items. Motioning both Cottonee and Azurill to follow her, the search began, as both Helios' spoon and Kyuu's beloved Apricon can't be THAT far away...

Indeed, with the help of Cottonee's Fairy Wind blowing over the grass to leave sparkles over the spoon - pretty much like she already did to help the Fortune Hunter collect the pieces of duskglass back in Corsage - Helios soon had his item back; while with his Kinesis and Litwick's ability to pass through solid objects and act as a light source they made it to retrieve the pink Apricorn from the crevice it fell in. Just as Shiva was to hand it back to the psychic cat though, she noticed that he was nibbling on something pink already. "Kyuu, we found back your... wait, where did you got that Ranc Berry from? Eh... Well, doesn't matter, enjoy it. Here, also for you." He must have found a berry bush somewher nearby, or it was growing in that Tangrowth? Anyway, with an appreciating smile, she handed him his Apricron nut back to hid somewhere in his grey fur. Or start staring at it in awe again.

Now with that successfuly done and retrieving all of her Pokemon into their safe Pokeballs, back to the party... But the sights she got from her spot STARTLED her. It wasn't hard at all to see that Nathan and Ven have gotten at each other again, probably because what she already believed would come sooner or later: The killing of these Tangrowth. It seemed like leaving them alone NOW was a bad decision... Oh, how innocent she was over what has happened between them in the short time.

In a rather quick and somewhat still graceful movement, she was right there where the others were, and directly entangled both of her arms around one of Ventus', staying just there close to his side before looking up to him in a glance that would make an Eevee training a sad variant of Baby-Doll-Eyes proud and awestruck. "Ven, dear... " Whoops, she didn't wanted to say this... "I won't even ASK what has happened, but I expect you to explain to me later in a neutral viewpoint, once we arrived in Stair. I see you're exhausted, frustrated and whatelse, or in short just not okay... So whatever it is, the area has been cleared, you must be tired, Nathan must be tired, all of our Pokemon could use some healing... *very careful held back sniffle* So, could please BOTH OF YOU let it be for the rest of path to get the remaining little bit that seperates us from the city done?"

Mechanics:
Ranc Berry for Kyuu, Tangrowth dealt with already, Shiva disappointed over things in the party bad again, so up to Stair City is it.
