"I only determine the future of the earth's crust, the soil and terrain. Others, more primal and bestial than I, ordain the shifting of continents and the alignment of worlds. I too have my bestial side, when it is time for an earthquake or a mudslide."

"The future of the earth? I am only the beginning of the land. The source, the proprietor of soil. Individual humans and Pokemon shape the future of the land, of the Earth as a whole. Some very few are immortal or nearly so, but mostly, Shiva, it's just the actions of trainers which determine the future. Those who see the future do not set it. They merely view it from outside of time. In that way you could say there was no such thing as destiny at all, eh eh eh!"

"I'll probably only watch you if you're somewhere within my purview. A mortal doesn't usually hold my attention for long. I have my own tasks. But I will send Gliscor with you for your return journey to Stair City, if you wish. She can use the Earthpower to make the journey a little easier, and defend you from Machoke and Rock Pokemon. It's just a normal Pokemon move, nothing magical about it. Eh, eh, eh, though that Ventus might see it differently."
