[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

After that in her view indeed failed and to her personally by the end stressful dinner, Shiva was more than delighted as she finally found some of her peace (not before her mind has called her cowardly to leave there for a few more times though) and calm back while doozing off into a sleep full of dreams she cannot clearly remember anymore when waking up. She will remember that they were unpleasant and her around-ten-year younger self worrying at a hospital-bed, before a wave not unlike the wave being visible when Psyshock is used successfully fought off a big purple threat.

She was still cuddled up to Ventus, and she looked half agonized and half okay not being sure how she's doing when eventually waking up after he did and awoke her to share breakfast and head to the Shelter for work today. It'll likely be sometime before the time she has set alarm clock on cell and she'll be kinda tired still, but this will quickly fade away once having actually crawled out of bed to realize that it's a new day by now. An new chance...



I'll simply post what Shiva will do anyway this morning before indeed heading to the Shelter @Iron, these are somewhat timeless/essential. She and Ven arrive at the Shelter together at the same time then.

-------------------
While Ven was in bathroom or otherwise busy of some sort and Shiva has gotten up from bed and currently took at look outside of the window at the streets full of people in business attire rushing the street up and down - ah, some sort of a familiar view - she summoned Pancham from his Pokeball in a flash of white light! The panda yawned and cutely rubbed one of his sleepy eyes with a black paw, he looked up to his Master as if silently asking why she has awoken him so early. He was doing fine though, none of the bruises and sligthly ruffled fur from the yesterday's battle was visible anymore. Shiva greeted him good-morning by appreciantly and warmly patting his head and stroking through the fur on his cheek, before pointing to a printed-out sheet of paper that she has laid there before summoning her panda. Tapping it, she asked him to take a look at the drawn and faintly explained motion sequence on it, before reminding him of his fist practical battle experience yesterday. "I can tell you enjoyed showing the strength you already had the time your were hatching from that special egg, and it'd be lying if I'd deny that I wasn't caught and allured by that. Now, you'd be up to try something else in synchronicity with me? That's not...real battling, but instead much more graceful, all about inner strength."

On that paper Shiva is using as a reference was the motion sequence taken from Tai Chi, kinda like this one ---> Link to a gif-file. That's what she has been somewhat researching at a PC in Lobby before heading for dinner to Heart's dorm, oh. Practicing this motion sequence now before breakfast together with her fearless Pancham, Shiva will probably gain that 1 point in Brawl by the time she's doing her first battle in Little Cup. (I'm leaving it to @Lord Windos whether Ventus actually catches up on her doing this or desires not to comment. Only making his own thoughts if he catches up on it is alright too.) I hope Pancham enjoys this training-bonding with his Mum/Master, Iron!~ Is that 'explored' enough to reason an unexpected +1 point in that Speciality?
-------------------


Along the way to the Shelter, of course Shiva picked up that Little Cup will start today, wheee! At 5pm, should be doable since work at Shelter ends a little before that. She nudges Ventus beside her to catch his attention, looking up to him in a subtly eager smile. "Can you...possibly wait a few minutes for me to make my registration for it?" *taking a look at clock on cell, before facing him again* "We still have time, so... Oh, you are of course free to come with me for registering my team! I know you said you...won't take part, but this doesn't mean you are doomed to avoid it and everything having to do wih it, do you...?"

Whatever Ventus decided to do, Shiva was rather happy once it was her turn in line to hand the person on duty her Trainer Pass and a list of her participating Pokemon. (I have quite a pool of Pokemon to choose from, we'll register six Pokemon right away. Should I share which ones or keep it for myself for now?)

She also had a question once her registration is done. "Uhm... There is one more thing I'd like to ask, something I didn't found any info about. These battles... Single Elimination is clear, but I've been wondering about these battles are held in a Single or Double Battle. Is there a rule? Is it random? Can you help me on this please...?"
