[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

Braixen's snarl only increased as that Exeggutor came closer, but Shiva rather quickly motioned him to stop, as there's nothing to fear from that palmtree. He took a look at his Master, then at the Exeggutor, then...slowly stepping aside to let it pass.


Exeggutor received an appreciating pat from her after she accepted both her Apricorn and money from it, her expression lighted up as well. Hah! That'll teach people to pick up on her. As for...what was he called again? Ah, Sinkhole... Well, NOW he received a faint smile from her, and a reply in a sing-sang voice. "I'm not really interested in a favour. Well, goodbye then~ Braixen, Marill, we'll get going."

As for the pink Apricorn... Now that she got it back, there was no point to hold it back from its rightful owner anymore, so somewhere along the way, she called Kyuu out of his Pokeball, and was quick to pick him up as soon as he was summoned. He was pained, tired and needed a good brush through his fur alongside medical care, all things Shiva will gladly provide later. But first, he'd receive something different - a very careful yet appreciating hug and smile, alongside... "You did VERY well there, dear one. No doubt there are psychic powers in you that are beyond what one would imagine resting in you, I'll be there to help you channel them into the right direction. You're missing something though, aren't you? I've kept my word, so here you have your pink Nut back. Take good care of it, and enjoy the comfort of the healing maschine in the Pokemon Center. I'll pick you up later."

Once Cottonee, Kyuu and Marill where carefully handed to Nurse Joy, Shiva once again stepped outside of the Pokemon Center, Braixen still beside her. Meanwhile, he has withdrawn his basswood stick, and was silently asking his Master what they'll do now. "Now? Oh, now... Well, now we'll pay the bonfire another visit. Yes, the one we where at yesterday! Let us enjoy some peace there after this run-in we just had."

Coincidence that along the way she ran into Ventus, and her first thought was to recall Braixen... But... "No, dear one, stay outside of your Pokeball please. Just...ignore him. I have a task for you at the bonfire, one that you cannot fulfill when you're not present. Stay close to me instead, please." With that hopefully taken care, she stepped beside Ven, carefully entagling one oh her arms around his, giving him a faint smile for having remembered her plea to meet up at or on the way to the bonfire.

(I'm not quite sure whether Ven wants to pick up on the aftermaths present in Shiva's pool of emotion.)
