"Ceremonies may be conducted at a sacred Eternal Bonfire, such as the ceremony to summon the South Wind, which I know you are interested in. Other times, people use it as a gathering place. It is very inclusive, and none are ever turned away."

Azurill is having such a fun time jingling that Soothe Bell that she gains +1 Happiness!

She's sparring with all the small Water types there in turn, bouncing off them with her tail or jetting water back and forth. All the Pokemon form a living fountain like the one she saw in Stair City, letting their Water Guns flow in beautiful recursive patterns.

In the middle of the circle dances Azurill with her top hat, running back and forth, catching water in the silk crown. Suddenly, she is surrounded in blue energy - top hat included - which begins to grow and pulse.

Azurill evolves into Marill!

All the Pokemon at the bonfire celebrate along with her! Marill shows off a new magic trick where she locks herself in a nearby willow cage and somehow escapes when a cloth is thrown over her.

*more noming of not-burned Marsh Mallow plants* They tasted so sweet that it hurts, but they tasted incredibly delicious. Doesn't matter where the others went to, as she had her quality time right here. Eh, let's hope Ven doesn't end up worried where she was... "Sacred, you say... This sounds like the summoning of the Southern Wind Incarnate demands well-placed preperation and shouldn't be done half-hearted. Hmm... Well, I'll certainly need the help of the Mamo living in Preserve then. I have the song, they have the flutes the song is written for... And yes, I can feel that this here is pretty incl- wait a moment, Azu! WHERE DID YOU WANDER OFF... oh. Oh there you are... and you're...dear one..."

True, that energy could only mean one particular thing as she remembers this from Fennekin... It had such a pretty blue color, and she could only sit there and watch in awe. Another evolution, and it was due to her... My, things certainly developed into a positive direction if remembering how Azu hid away in her sleeve as she's been given this Pokemon to care for after the others have rescued this blue mouse from the river.

As soon as the evoluuuuution ended and the other Pokemon where already celebrating with her - now she knew her blue fairy-mouse WAS magic - Shiva couldn't help but to approach on her own, pick up her new Marill and give her a hug that practically dripped with appreciation and was just as warm as the bonfire was bright, followed by sweeeet draining kiss well-placed on her Pokemon's cheek. "Hehehehe... You did is... No, WE did it! You're grown so much confidence, it's almost hard to believe that I helped you on developing this. But, LOOK AT YOURSELF! Your Water Gun and Bubble Beam will be way stronger now, I'll find you a battle tomorrow so you can see on your own... Hehe...oh well... You look incredibly pretty with your flowercrown of roses in your new appearance." Indeed she did, and Shiva spend a few moments just smiling down at the Pokemon in her arms while adjusting it.

...Guess this was also the trigger she secretly needed, as given the looks of it, she'll dance the hours away starting NOW! Her natural grace, the treat this Eternal Bonfire was anyway and the fact that Azu evolved vie becoming happy certainly made this into quite a show; Marill, Braixen and if he dared and agreed to it even Tandal himself where her partners. When Marill was not having fun with her Master, she continued escaping from willow cages and summoning roses to entertain the other Pokemon, as a final act she even turned herself into a vivid fountain by sporting a very thin yet potent stream of water several inches high, completely moistening the area! (Learning Water Sport for 5XP here) The bonfire kept happily burning nevertheless.


(Took a little, but I found a theme for this whole scene... A blue fae-mouse's happiness and Eternal Bonfire's joy)
