[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

Oh. How delightful to see that Tanuki accepts Challengers, as this means she's up and about after Little Cup already! Shiva does certainly desire to battle her at some point sooner or later, she's somewhat silently curious and eager to see what this overly cute forever young woman is capable of with her batch of Normal Types. Not now though, and not tomorrow, so eventually Shiva took a for today last look at the white building, waved all these Zigzagoon a goodbye, then turned around to go. Before she headed to the desired Celebi Park though, Shiva would make a stop at the Pokemon Center, or to be specific at the PC beside the Counter.

There, she would place her butterwolfly and magical fox in a Box of Bill's PC, the latter not after releasing him for short to ask how he's doing and whether he's fine with being on the PC for a little now, to take Nightshade and Tropius to her person instead. I said that Shiva would visit the shrine or now the whole park with her Grass Types, but looks like she has to come twice if she'd like to stay there with Chicorita and Oddish as well. Anyway, let's get going then!~


Naturally that she'd follow the pink path that'd eventually lead to the shrine, not only because she instantly made the assumption of Fairy or Psychic Type, depending on the shade of pink the path bears. All while she does so, she becomes more and more quiet the further she goes, while this elusive and somewhat 'meaningful' feeling within her increased, causing waves of pleasant warmth. Not even that Stantler and the rustling of more wild Pokemon here in the middle of the forest within the city were capable to decrease her mood, and very soon she began to silently sing the Skirl of the Southern Wind to herself again. Yet the suprise factor of wild Pokemon here remained.

Shiva has already visited the shrine in Jotho's Illex Forest once, and she nevertheless observes this shrine in curiosity and eventually can't help but to stroke over some of it's mossy surface. It felt...good, so soft and slightly moist. Silently, she wondered whether an Eevee brought here would evolve into a Leafeon. Any special stone Shiva would give away she currently doest own though, as she'd prefer Nightshade to keep this stone from the Tusk and for Lilith to keep that Rune Stone from the Fortune Hunter... But maybe she'll find a stone she can gift Celebi during her stay here in this park or while exploring town further.

So for now, her paying tribute consists of burning a bit of incense with a the incense burner she owns, after she has found a comfy and quiet place under a pine tree from where she can see the shrine. Together with her Pokemon, she rearranges all that cushionlike mass of pine needles a bit to make herself a very fluffy natural pillow directly there under the chosen tree. Shiva doesn't speak during this silent tribute-paying consisting of incense burning once gotten comfortable, she lets her mind wander in the process and adds in a silent prayer at some point.

Eventually, maybe an hour after Shiva has set the first foot into Celebi Park, she'd draw that book about rune reading she has bought from the Fortune Hunter, and simply starts reading in it, comparing tables of runes and their meaning among one another, making notes to eventually create her own alphabet... When she gently nudges her elusive Gothitelle to catch her attention, book still open laying there with her lap. "Lilith... Do you still have that Rune Stone we bought earlier? You have? ... Well, do you... hmm, I mean, would you be so kind to hand it to me for short? I'd like to find out what these symbols on it mean. You know, that square with the circle inside, that humanoid figure, and that half sun plus that believed tree."


(The description of how some of my Pokemon train will come in a seperate post, but probably not today anymore due to tired and it'll take a little to type it up.)
