[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

Princess immediately lands on Nathan's face. Time to pay up.

"Mmmmmmffff!!!"

With Princess landing on his face of all things, it's pretty difficult to say anything.  Or see what the heck he's doing so he can put Forthright down somewhere and grab something out of his bag.  So it's not exactly very easy for him to compensate her...seems like he needs a little help.

...Whoahw. She was actually not sure anymore at all who would end standing there as the winner of this practice, but it seemed like her Comite already decided. It won against a Grass Type, it decided this battle-practice to her favour - Shiva needed a moment to actually realize what it meant as Yule was staggering and stepping back after that Rock Throw hit her.

When her mind has finally processed this, it made room for a pleasant feeling of joy and satisfaction - She won...against Nathan even, despite she knows he is clearly the one with more battle experience... Litte Cup may come, after tonight Shiva felt ready to take part and possibly even shine. It'll be hard, but the rules are actually not playing against her, remembering how many of her 'stronger' Pokemon are either with her for quite a while now and used to friendly competition or blessed with a hidden potential or a special niche that makes them irreplaceable in certain situations.

Shiva folded her hands to give a short but honest 'Thank you' to Reshiram and Victini for their assistance and favour, before stepping beside her astral rock who was still eagerly on the battlefield. It showed that goat to not mess with it or Master, hah! It's expression was still unreadable, but mentioned Master could clearly feel not only that cosmic energy running through it, but also that pride and delight that it emitted as she went down to be almost on eye level with it, before giving Comite a very appreciating smile and stroke over the pinkish crystal that made up part of its rocky body. Comite leaned into Shiva's hand, increasing that subtle happiness and thankfullness she felt. "Very well done, my astral rock. ...Comite. Maybe you could use a better name, a nickname, we'll see... Thank you. That last Rock Throw was AWESOME, let's do more such things in actuall Lil' Cup!~You're doing fine? ...Mostly? Well, you can stay out of your Ball while we bring the others to a Healing Machine in the Center. Ah, you will of course be exposed to its aura and waves as well. It's not like in space, I know... But your place is now here, with me." Comite received one more smile and eager pet, before Shiva got up again to actually face Nathan. ...Looks like he's having some issues, as his female Combee desired for his attention rather strongly. Hmmm...
Walking up to him alongside Comite, Shiva playfully ordered motioned it to use another Rock Throw, Comite eventually obeyed by pretending the preparation to shoot another rock projectile on that bee. If this won't chase her off and set her Master free, Shiva can still just carefully nudge her and hint that her Master might appreciate not having a Combee in his face.

As soon as Nathan had a clear eyesight again, he would see that Shiva was faintly smiling and offering him a hand to shake. "That was a good practice, actually, indeed tiering and exhausting for me, but no comparison to..the last one. Yule did a fine job, it seems like my Comite was eventually faster and more eagerly to get a move on... Now then, shall we head to the GPC to heal our Pokemon up? I'd actually desire for a little rest by myself in dorm, I also heard that Heart would make dinner tonight!~"

Along the way, Shiva had two questions to him. Nathan can answer as they were making their way through the park of GPC, Comite was trotting beside its Master, probably earning one or two weird looks from passengers who have never seen such a Pokemon(?) before. "A Grass Type like your Skiddo could have easily won against a Rock Type like my Comite..." Shiva stares up to the sky, as if she's pondering or searching for more Comite up there. "Would you have exploited this if Rock Throw would have missed? Oh... And, a different thing..." She looks down to watch the path again. "It's the 1st of May today... I've been in city, but I haven't seen anything that would hint that it's that date. That...makes me wonder, is the 1st of May not celebrated in Chresire? There was always a parade on this day in Castelia City... Are there any important national holidays that a Non-Chresherian should know about?"


(I'm letting Nathan answer during walking and he is fine to ask any questions or talk in return, so as soon they've arrived the Lobby of GPC and have given their Pokemon to a Nurse Joy on duty, Shiva bid Nathan good night for now shall he not desire to eat dinner with them all, or a see you later if he'll attent. Pancham is not given to Nurse Joy, he will have restored 5hp overnight and join in a new small morning ritual with her Master. He can sleep all cuddled up to Cottonee-fluff and the blanket at the end of bed.)


As soon as Shiva has arrived the door of the dorm she was sharing with Ventus (wheee!~), the first thing that occured was she wondering why the door's open and not locked... Has she forgotten to lock it? Damn! Uhm, anyway, she carefully opened it an took a peek into the room, seeing whether... Oh. It was as she hoped was the cause for the not-locked door, Ventus was back meanwhile. What a delight to see him, Shiva wasn't afraid anymore to step into the room and close the door behind her, only to shortly after take a seat at the edge of the bed, sighing impercible. That practice-battle was fruitful, some first attempt of dabbling in brawling with her Pancham was...fun too, but all in all it was exhausting.

Shiva put a streak of hair back into place, not really looking at Ventus at first as she spoke. "How neat that you're back again, Ven, I've been...already wondering why the door wasn't locked as I didn't expected finding you here. How was work at the Shelter?" Now she actually faced him in a delighted and curious expression, knowing that... "I'll, uhm, start there tomorrow as well... Can you wake me when you're getting up and head there together then after breakfast? Maybe? Please...?"
