Spoiler

"I, ehm, am ready I guess, always!~ Though the infestation has ended as you brought Azu back to my hand. T-Thank you that you held back! We'll see how things develop, so far you're doing a...good performance in this battle. I assume Clauncher still has that additional Ground Type?"

Shiva was silently enjoying these beams of sunlight illuminating the clearing they've found as a battlefield. It was still relatively early in the morning, so it wasn't 'painfully bright' yet, nor 'too hot to take', meanwhile her cherrylike Pokemon seems to have learned how to power up the sun in a way that it's not a pain in the eye, and natural Vitamin D was always prefered by her than pills containing it.

Though it all went a bit too fast for her, in a manner of seconds her dear sunbringer was already defeated by that crab... Somewhat frustrated by that, she eventually withdrew Nightshade into the safety and comfort of her Ball, held it close to her chest in appreciation of her effort, and eventualy packed it away only to draw another one containing Braixen's new battle partner. On the outside that discontent was only visible by a slight frown and how she abstained from commenting on it. Her magical fox seemed to be displeased by himself as that crab opted to protect himself from being cooked alive (not literally) with his massive claw, which he showed by letting out a low growl before he threw a glance over to his Master. She returned that glance in a slight smile for him, expressing that it's not over yet and how she trusts in his firepower, in the inner flames that can flare alive by any next hit. Heart may have defeated two of her Pokemon she has put trust in - but it only needed that moment of an exchanged gaze of confidence to ease the frustration to some degree and instead slowly realize that Nightshade has succeeded on what Shiva has hoped for, and from how that Clauncher backed away after being hit by the rainbow-colored leaves her Pokemon summoned to as her Final Act, she concluded that the crab does still own that secondary Ground Type. Fine, fine...

All that I don't type in blue is stuff that happens after the battle against Heart, like the following.



Regardless who eventually won this clashing of Pokemon that have been trained by Shiva and Heart respectfully, it was very obvious that this battle was one that she won't forget that easily. Whether she keeps in a good or bad aftertaste is something that's yet written in the stars though (I'll edit this part after the battle if I haven't forgotten by then.)

One way or the other, she gives him a weak punch on the shoulder for that battle experience, acompanied by a soft-spoken "Th...Thank you for that battle, Heart... We can repeat that at some point certainly, eventually, maybe... Hehe... Uhm...." She withdraws her hand again, looking a bit insecure. "You want to come to the Center too? We can surely head there together, leaving our Pokemon to be healed up there."


*******


Said and done and Heart waved goodbye for now, Shiva would step to the counter again, letting a Nurse Joy know "I'll stick close to the Center for now, so could you...well, let me know as soon as Azumarill has be healed up and expressed readiness for another battle? Not an overly hard battle, but I wanted to take her to the Pagoda and if I'm lucky send her out against one of the Kimonogirl's Eeveelutions. So, uhm, will she be fine until noon? ....She will? Oh my... Thank you, really. Until then, okay?" With that said, leaves the counter but doesn't go far as she stops by the PC, withdrawing some Pokemon that I can't name as it'd spoiler what I'm not using against Heart's Pokemon to her hands to fill in the gaps the Pokemon Heart has defeated have left in her team of six.

For the time until half an hour before noon, Shiva simply spends some time outside by the Center, reading in the book about runereading and Earth Lore, petting and grooming her Pokemon, watching the people coming by as well as these Furrets, looking forward to and being nervous about the evening with Ventus, and pondering whatelse she wants to do in town. Rather soon, the time has come to thankfully accept Azumarill back fromNurse Joy, releasing the blue fae rabbit at once and cuddling her tight, which she exploited to snuggle hard into her Master's hair and eventually pulling a 50$coin from her ear, showing that she was all her old self again. Shiva couldn't help but to be stunned by Azu's antics everytime, and increased the hug once more after she examinated the coin, figured out it was a real one, and packed it away. "My, you're a blessing, Azu... Is that your thanks for me making you so happy? Please never stop being so cute, okay?"

Together, meaning side by side, Master and Pokemon make their way to the Pagoda now, Shiva was constantly checking the time on cell - she'll arrive there 15 minutes before the clock turns noon if nothing goes amiss, which was an ideal time for her. As soon as she found a good seat and Azu got comfortable on her lap, nervosity did lurk up within her alongside the anticipitation to see the Tea Ceremony and especially Sylveon and Eevee again - will her name be drawn this time? She couldn't know, but she'll find out rather soon. Her fascination over Sylveon will make her to accept the same tea sample as this morning, which was one that surely contained a sugarcube slipped in by that Fairyeevee. Speaking of the morning, now she felt refreshed and awake in contrary to then, meaning she can witness the Tea Ceremony and ask possible questions in full attention and even find some details she has missed this morning.


--------------------
Mechanics:
Go the Center with Heart, heal my Pokemon up asking for Azumarill being priority, before spending some casual and quality time with some other Pokemon of hers before she'll accept Azu back and head to the Pagoda  to witness the Tea Ceremony of the noon. If her name gets drawn to battle a Kimonogirl, she'll introduce Azumarill as her Pokemon of choice, meaning that you can roll for the Eeveelution she'll face as well as Init Order all in one post, Iron!~ Instructions will come as a PrivateMessage, as there's something specific I'd like to do for the first Round.

When the battle ended Heart return to his position of relax and talk again with Shiva with a guilty face. "I...sorry if I didnt ask your questions right away Shiva...I was fully concetrated in the battle and I couldnt answear right away (aka: Didnt have time to make the post to answear Shiva question regardless Gustav typing). Yes, Gustav still have the ground typing in his hand. And to clarify he not anymore a Clauncher, he is a Clawitzer, his evolution. But you can just call him Gustav if you want."

Then Heart notices the discontent face of Shiva. He didnt want to make her feel that way with that battle. That was supose to be enjoyed battle between friends, so Heart decided to at least help her. "Hey Shiva. Dont feel that way. Being honest, that battle is being awesome and enjoyable until now! The strategys, the change of table between us, the moments of tension...that battle is being epic to me, against a adversary as you. Heck, that battle I would consider one of the most tough and difficult I have face until now. Equal in hardness like my battle against Dagny. When I say I consider you my rival, I do not say that to make you better. It is the clear truth. Even now, I can see the same potential I have see during our journey to the end of the earth. The same potential I have witness when you fight against the odds in the gym battle against Dagny." And that Heart say with honestly and truth. He say deep in his own heart (no pun intended).

"After that battle against Dagny, I feel the need to get stronger and stronger, to improve my skills and sharp my abilities. I know I cant live forever as comicaly relieve to the party or some type of noob in cooking. You guys have fighting against dangers, and alone of difficuties...I may not be a sensitive or psychic, but I know when anyone feel in some bad mood. Thats why...I decided to get stronger. Not just in in fisic, but in spirit too. To become more wise and able to fight against any enemy. Be the Scimitars, or Claydoll." Then Heart looks in his own hand. "So that way....I may be able to..." Heart didnt finish his sentence. " Heart didnt finish his sentence. "What I trying to say Shiva: Winning or loosing the more important thing to do is do your best and enjoy the battle. Pokemon battles its not just about fighting. Pokemon battles its a way to humans and Pokemon understand each other. And to give people the ability to understand the heart and emotions of each other. Even the most locked on."
