[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Lord Windos]

Spoiler

The opening that Ven even checked on Gothy a few times positively suprised Shiva and allured another coy smile breaking to the surface before she eventually and at last turned to head inside the Gym. "Hehe... Yes, I know she's bearing practically the same nickname as your featherly serpent, Ven... But 'Lilith' has actually more than one meaning. One is the.....eh, well.... sexual demon of mythology that you've choosen ('Why do you nickname her like this, Ven?!') the other is an astrological matter that I could tell you about at some point, which would explain why I've choosen it. If there's interest, that is. But not now, dear. A Pokemon responds to both its nickname and its species name in 99 percent of cases, so if we both keep that in mind it should be fine, and both of our Pokemon are smart creatures enough to not be overly bothered by it."

(Goody! Remember, having options is ALWAYS a good thing!)

Ven was rather relieved that Shiva his worries reasonable enough to change, since while having an ideal team pre-selected to face and opponent is a great thing indeed, keeping your options broad and varies juuuuust in case of complications is a superior option to have almost everytime! Of course that necessitated him switching out Hanael and Michael for the electric mice, but that was a sacrifice he was happy to more than happy to make if it would improve his dear's chances of victory!

The empath also noticed a small burst of apprehension around the point he commented on their Lilith shared name with Lily ('A fitting modification of her name to keep them separate and straight from Shiva's Lilith!'), and just as he was going to address that his fae fancy friend beat him to the punch by offering an explaination for copying his birdpent's nameshake. After spending a few seconds thinking over a proper response, he decided to only nod his head and say: "I wasn't aware that name had a connection to the stars themselves, but the more you learn, the greater you understand! Hmm.....yes, I do desire to know more about this and your Insight into astrology, but as you said that will have to wait for another occasion. For now is the time for your glorious match against Dagney, and to see who's strengths on battlefield will shine brightest! I look forward to seeing such a brilliant match, dear...."
