[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

'A lot of pressure', he says? Huh, what was the issue now of all costs? The Vines are defeated, they won the battle, his family only lost one member of Stable Z and ... Oh. Wait a moment, was it the raising of small newly hatched Pokemon that pressured him? Possible, but Shiva does not fully understand why it could be so, seeing that this Castform was comfortable with him... Was he not used to the responsibility that comes with such a task? Well, there's nothing really wrong about placing a newly hatched Pokemon onto the PC, that's common not only in her family as not every professional breeder has the luxury of a room especially for a nursery to keep the young ones entertained outside of PC while they wait for their new owner to pick them up. Shiva was lucky that her familiy was affluent enough to have such a room in their home-daycare, and even luckier that that one Eevee especially enjoyed playing with her while she was there, eventually being allowed to stay instead of being given to her new owner.

This reminded her on Pancham, and a small but sharp pain ran through Shiva's delicate heart. It had nothing to do with how he was resting on the PC for quite a while now.

Eh, nope, but there was one more thought... What was left, was to gain the favor and aid from Mesprit, and this depends on Nathan... Well, the journey through the region sure leaves barely any opportunity out to give him something to chew on. Well well then, she has done nothing to Kirlia to mess with him, in fact it was even Shiva who evolved him. Unintentionally, but it still counts.


...My dear, Nathan has asked you a question, stop overthinking things!
Eeeeek! Sorry!

Shaking her head to clear her mind and come back to planet earth, she gave Nathan a PRETTY unimpressed and reluctant staaaaaare at his request for a battle.


Initiate reaction: Nope, please get lost and never mention it towards me ever again if you don't want to be slapped with a book.
Secondary reaction: Oh, Little Cup Rules... huuuuuummmmmmmm.

Very very carefully and subtle, mischief awoke in her and formed a tiny hint of a smile on her expression. That could be something, and the secondary effect to helping a small young Pokemon getting used to the uncomfortable harshness of battling sounds sweet and noble. It took a little until she replied to him, still starring at him, but clearly not in an intimidating way anymore. In fact, it feels like she was playing with the laid-out bait, pondering about whether she shall pounce at it or not. "You...are aware of how I have quite a pool of Pokemon allowed in Little Cup to choose from, some of them are my main battlers even, in comparison to you, are you? You're sure you want to go through that?"
