[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

"I don't have any Pokemon who can go 2 on 1, so I will forfeit now! Your Tropius is awesome."

Phew, despite her own Pokemon were ruling the field - yes, Shiva has expected this and her plan to combine the grassy sauropod with the magical fox and bright sunlight has worked out to perfection and brought the desired sensation that they ARE a combination that shouldn't be underestimated - they were not overruling and caused a ruccus and frowns because accidently overshooting.

Tropius was visibly proud of having done so well in his trial run and spread his wings wide to catch the slowly fading extrawarm beams of sunlight and lowered his head as Shiva came beside him to silently ask for a reward... Which he got in the form of appreciating pets over forehead and two hands full of dried berries and Dry Food to munch on. It didn't take long for him to cosume everything, now he alos allowed his Master to harvest the fruit and Nanab Berry from his neck. Braixen meanwhile seemed confident all along - now with victory for him and his Master, he put his enlighted basswoodstick away where it belonged to and casted a satisfied expression and pose.

Shiva herself was rather delighted - that was a fun battle, even one where she eventually didn't felt like being keen to loose. She offered Lil' Freddy a handshake as a 'thank-you' and 'see you tomorrow', as well as 50$ from the money he handed her. "Here... just take these and either keep it if you like or see it as a donation to the Shelter... I learned things from this battle that'll likely become useful later and in the long run, and while my Tropius is indeed as powerful as I've felt like he could be, you did quite well against him. Oh, here you also have the fruit for today, please make sure that the young Stunky receives something from these too."

Braixen gets recalled then to enjoy some well-deserved rest, while Tropius and Vaporeon can remain outside and follow Shiva on her way back to the GPC, with Vaporeon riding on Tropius and enjoying the view as he flew a few meters above his Master's head... She'll likely need all the sleep she can get as tomorrow, well...will be and exciting day in various aspects. She was wondering why she was feeling less fear than she was expecting herself to. What was this feeling? ...Positivity? No, not really. Accomplishment? A bit. A subtle and new feeling like she is able to achieve something if she only dedicates herself enough to it? That matches, yes. (30xp are spent to raise Shiva' Vitality to 4 now. This means, Eternally Gold will be an item Shiva will mostly keep a hold on to herself instead of giving it for one of her Pokemon to hold, I'll be stating whenever she is 'under the effect' of this pocketwatch. Practically evertime she's wearing her Ranger's Cloak as the watch is in its inner pocket.)


...She didn't reach the GPC, however, because she stopped by where Nathan was currently residing - at that bench nearby. She's keeping her respectful distance to the Fire Types he currently has out, however, but that doesn't prevent her from greeting him as well as Vaporeon giving them a 'I don't care'-gesture from her high place before admireing the view and wind again. "Well, hi... I didn't expected to see you here, Nathan. Uhm... you, well, succeeded on your Gym battle? And... is that the Charmeleon me and Ven took care of yesterday...?"

Speaking of Ven, Shiva casted a subtle wishful expectant look over her shoulder... Was he nearby too?
