[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

Barely any time to watch that Lilipup playing dead - or rather, somewhat wondering what the crowd's enjoying about that so greatly as it'd rather worry Shiva - as Cottonee, after having landed her hit, immediately gave a proud gesture and expression that clearly told 'That'll teach ya to tackle me like this, lil' dog!!' before she turned around to suprise her Master with a tacklehug directly into her arms held open, emitting a cloud of pinkish fairy dust on the impact. Her Starter's fluff was still so enjoyable to nuzzle, no words needed that to Shiva's taste, her Pokemon gave a well Final Act nicely following the shooting script.

After having enjoyed the taste of victory for this matchup for a little, Shiva placed her fluffball up onto her head before walking up to claim her prize - oh, she already knows what to buy for that little bit of cash - and giving the audience, most likely those who hoped to see her fluffball again, a thankful look with a coy smile. While doing so, she subtly looked out for that guy in the purple suit from the Shelter - where was he...?



Next matchups seem to take place tomorrow, so for now Shiva will head back to the GPC, keeping Cottonee out on her high position along the way. The fluffball wasn't heavy at all (0.6kg), so Shiva had no issues walking normally. At best, her white and green color was a nice contrast to all that black and caused Shiva to walk with head held up high and a faint smile. It was only matchup#1 of the tourney, but she was already enjoying it. Let's see in what direction things will develope.

Naturally that she picked up Kirlia waving at her, so both Trainers ended up walking back to the GPC alongside their closest Pokemon. Kirlia for her part receives a pat and stroke of his forehead from Shiva for waving ribbons of her Pokemon's colors, if he allows, still not touching the red horns. No words said to him, as he probably knows what that was for.

In generally, Shiva was in a good mood, yet looking forward to return to dorm. She had some words for Nathan though, which he'd get somewhere half the way spoken in no scolding, but clearly wondering and curious tone. "Soooo... Now then, what has actually brought you to not participate in the end, Nathan? Training for it with me was your initiative, so I...actually thought... well *shrugs*, that you'd certainly take part?"
