[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

"Hi, Shiva. Today we have a Grumpig who, true to his name, is grumpy. I honestly have no clue what has made him so angry lately. He's typically a little feisty, but he's been extra angry as of yesterday. He's been throwing things with his psychic power, disturbing the other Pokemon, and making a lot of noise. Especially the noise part. See if you can figure out what's wrong."

.......Oh. That sounded like a touch nut Shiva has received to crack, and almost immediately she grew a bit of insecure about whether she'll be able to calm and handle that Grumpig at all, Ventus was not present to help either should it be needed - before the knowledge that she herself has dealt with Pokemon that either have active or yet dormant psychic power before and still does so, as well as having other possibilities to find out what's wrong before the issue can be adressed. She'll look into that more grumpy than usual Grumpig, that's for sure. Not that she felt like having any other choice, that is, hopefully things will work out in the end like they did with that Charmeleon...

"I'll see whether I can find the issue... Please, before I'll go see him, it'd greatly help me if ou could tell me a bit more about this Grumpig's background and how the day at the Shelter has been yesterday? Has anything 'extraordinary' happened yesterday that may not directly have to do with this Grumpig, but can still play a role for the cause of his change in behaviour? Aside from that ruccus we have caused yesterday with Charmeleon, has maybe a group of visitors stopped by that showed or not showed interest in him, or otherwise behaved out of the norm? Have Dark types been spotted yesterday, or are there hints that there are any lurking nearby the Shelter? Is Grumpig taking any medicine currently or lately has, does his increassed aggressiveness come along with other unusual traits like a lack of appetite or such? How did he came here to the Shelter at all, as accoding to my knowledge the Grumpig-line usually doesn't cause much of problems for a Trainer that knows how to deal with Psychic Types, Grumpig especially only uses their manipulative powers on foes and those who disrespect it? And... would you mind if I'd take him outside to the city with my own Pokemon shall there be hints that this would do him well?"

Seems Shiva is serious about this given task.

Mechanics:
Get to know that Grumpig a little better before Shiva will swap Vaporeon in her party for Helios, then go to see that grumpy Grumpig with Braixen out of his Pokeball and beside her as a safety measure (pig meets fox). Yena, being a Dark Type and capable of biting that pig hard, remains in his Pokeball unless it feels like that Grumpig needs to literally know its behaviour is not tolerated. Shiva does nothing to Grumpig at first nor exchanges words with him apart from introducing herself with name and as someone who means no harm, then using her empathic senses towards Pokemon to see whether she can get a hint on what may be wrong from Grumpig directly. Insight + Empathy = 5 dice for me.
