[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

That smile Shiva was displaying only grew sweeter as that Vapreon considered and eventually rubbed herself against the hand carefully extended! It's not as bright as Ven's Dazzling Smiles® though, as Shiva's lacking the confidence for such a thing. "Good decision, dear one... I'd need to register you to... Huh?" Out of sight the Vapreon was again, and for one moment Shiva that everything was just a massive prank. Next moment, Vaporeon emerged again though to her relief and joy, but relucant to give this special clear water back. "Oh... I see, keep it for yourself then! Maybe one day we can visit the place I have this water from - TOGETHER!" *unnecessary strong highlighting of this word when speaking it out* The Iron Ball has been accepted back as well. Now it was all wet though, hopefully this won't cause rusty spots...

She actually spend several more minutes playing and carefully bonding with this new Vaporeon, completely missing out any troubles at the campsite as well the party learning about Ven's new Pokemon - like, carefully introducing her to Azurill and ending up playing hide-and-seek among the mangroves (most of the times, Vaporeon wins), fetching of a cut of root, encouraging her to eat dried berries from Shiva's hand, and overall not minding the stains of mud a on her Ranger's cloak (needs to be washed clean later). Registering Vaporeon to a Pokeball is involved as well, but she's being called out right away and immediately stares at Shiva with tail twitching and an expression that more than clearly (for Shiva, that is) said 'Do we gonna learn some cool things now?' "Haha, no, not right away, dear one... Later. But, eventually, promised! Currently, circumstances are keeping me busy and I do not want to teach you half-hearted, would I? So... Please rest in safety for a little now... You'll get some GOOD action and stage to perform yourself in a real battle sooner or later. Okay?"

Along the way, still not nearby the camp, curiosity caught Shiva and she couldn't help but to look up what the Almanac had to say about Vaporeon especially... (I won't do that everytime)

Mechanics:
Actually, Vaporeon is sent to the PC. I really liked this Encounter and look forward to use an Eeveelution when it feel like doing so/it's useful, but before I get to a new Pokemon I'd like to train Poochyena to have him prepared when facing Ghost Types becomes a real thing = gathering XP to pay for Suprise.

Also, just out of curiosity/wondering, what reasons the 1 Loyalty instead of 2? Is Vaporeon more interested in the tricks Shiva is capable to teach than in the wellbeing of her new owner? (Oh right, I gladly jump on that Vaporeon is female as well!)
