"Then I am going to chase down that Pumpkaboo!" Tandal goes racing off, pulling out tools from his pack.

All that mist along the way caused to appreciate both the faint glow Swiftfire's mane was emitting as well as being relatively safe on Metagross and even more safe due to sharing one with Ven. To carefully express that she values the protectiveness he seemed to emit she kept herself casually close to him while simply observing how the suroundings went by without really speaking to him.

That break at some point was still appreciated, as was Tandal's nuding of her towards some elusive plants that grew nearby the road! She thankfully harvests enough of every plant (including the...Muk-one) to later craft one or two incense sticks out of them, it's fine if they won't have an mechanical effect and just smell nice if burnt. Well, apart from the Muk-one which earned an expression as if being forced to take the most bitter-tasting medicine imaginable as Shiva picked up one stem of them to grind it between two fingers before testing their smell. However, maybe it'll be helpful at some point.

It was when was packing them away when Heart loudly expresses eager and joy and caused Shiva to see WHAT has caused such a reaction in the middle of a misty swamp - turns out it was a small tiny Tynamo floating nearby! Weird... What is one of those kind doing here by all means? They're even relatively rare in their natural habit in Unova... 'Not native' from Tandal already said a lot. His words about chasing down this Pumpkaboo Shiva has already seen from the corner of the eyes as she was harvesting plant - it left her alone for now, so she returned this - caused her call out Yena in quick movement, a flash of while light and a clearly visible cloud of shield dust in the mist in his direct direction. Shiva didn't gave any audible order to her Pokemon but motioned them with uncommonly high stoutness - her Poochyena understood and got a hold of Tandal's pant leg near the ankle with his teeth to stop him from chasing off. Doubtful that he'd let go of his 'prey' unless Master orders it, as well as doubtful that Tandal is able to shake the strong bite of a Poochyena off.

A few moments later, Shiva approached, not looking mad at all, but rather courios and pleased that her Pokemon nailed his 'prey'. "What do you mean by 'chasing it down'?, I wonder?"
