[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

Oh! Guess Shiva will look out for that simple white building resembling a Gym, simply to see it by herself. It sounds like a comfortable place, especially if it's swarmed by Pokemon of the versatile Normal Types one can imagine. The imagination of that gave her comfortable feeling, drastically different than from that defensive castle Dagny's Gym was. "Thank you! I'll take a look at Tanuki's Gym later then... What amazes me somewhat, is that she doesn't seem to be much older than I am, and yet she is a Gym Leader... But the age doesn't seem to be a factor to become one." *coffee-sipping noise while she lets that thought sink in into her* It's somewhat obvious that this somewhat fascinated her about Tanuki.



She also listened with attention what Professor Mallorn had to tell her about the oddity of her special Poochyena, occassionaly displaying minor reactions like a suprised expression upon the opening that Chreserian science is capable of altering a Pokemon's genes, a bit of relieve that other Pokemon had not to die unnaturally to make a genetic drift happen (as sometimes, naural disasters can cause this drift!), some thoughtful and awed expression upon the cottoning on that her tiny butterwolfly could possibly the only one of the whole world, and sometimes simple nods to show that she's listening. Once he finished, Shiva didn't reply right away, but repeated the words in her mind once again to make sure she understood and remembered this, while silently beckoning Yena to her to stroke over his ears and take look at these tiny butterfree-wings from closure again, before she'd let him dig into the brought treats by the waiter again.

She felt very lucky that this genetically drifted Poochyena has coincidently leaped onto the Main Street of Route 4 right in front of her, and confirmed in her desire of having her ID and OT on this special Pokemon. She'll keep this Poochyena forevermore, this got somewhat solidified more than before during this lunch with Professor Mallorn.

"....Whoahw..', was at first everything Shiva was capable to say, before more words came. "Thank you for such a insight on this weird Pokemon of mine, Professor. Genetic drift I know... When breeding Pokemon professionally at home, we practically induce a milder form of it, as we desire for the genes determining a good IV Value to increase. Sometimes, the offsprings have hatched with a recessive Ability or when the correct genes are passed on and it comes to a minor...'mutation', the hatcling have been shiny. So, it's...roughly the similar with this Pochyena, the population or family of rare - how rare are Pochyena in Chresire actually? - breeds among themselves while we select parent Pokemon, and the results may or may not be 'different' from the parents, correct? 'Differences begin to emerge', you say, among with 'the more benefitial this alteration, the more likely it is to come up again'... But by Reshiram's holy name, I do not yet fully understand why these butterfree-wings giving him Shield Dust Ability and slight biolumiscence would be benefitial for a Poochyena, but maybe it lowers the disturbance during hunt by blocking effects with this Ability, or the small hunting pack can communicate to one another via leaving some shedded shield dust behind? Hmm... But I believe that'd be simply my task to find out, is it, Professor?"

"I only know small and brown Eevees with silky fur apart from those with a shiny sliverly coat, so it's....a tad bit difficult for me to imagine it as a large wolflike Pokemon with matted fur... But I do admit that simply he thought of how much Eevee has changed then seems amazing. It must have....completely adapted to its environment, like it usually does... Do you happen to have a picture of these Old Eevee, Professor?" (Would Telperion University's Library possibly have?)

"And, uhm, yes, I'd agree to you that mutations don't necessarily have to be something...bad, but simply the ring of 'mutation' resounds a tab bit negatively within my ears. Benefitial ones are, well, exactly that, while Delta Pokemon feel like a bit of too drastic alteration for my view... Any wild ones seem to have adapted to their surrounding and eventually developed different traits, appearance and even type, a little like the regional variants of Kanto Pokemon in the distant and isolated islands of Alola, but...how Scientists somewhat caused the Pokemon to change by using the electromagnetic waves of Holon's Research Tower, just no...."

Shiva paused a little here, defended herself from thinking too much about these Delta Pokemon now by having more coffee and muffin, then eventually changed the topic a little. "Oh! Professor, this reminds me.... How's Nymue, that Skrelp I've sent you over, doing? And, you mentioned Keldeo already - hehe, well, I wanted to ask whether there are sightings of Keldeo here in Chreshire, at all? I know this mythi- ...*cough', Legendary Pokemon, but indeed only the Unovian one. Is Chresire's Keldeo an even fiercer warrior, as you describe it, than when being in it's Resolute Form? Would it be safe to approach it if spotted, or does it pose an aggressive nature?"
