Onward!~


Eventually, after having strolled over the occult fleemarket for a bit once more after the business with the Herbalist and the vendor with the book abour raising a Spritzee to various scents have been finished, Shiva somewhat stops at the booth of the Medium... She looks over with an expectant, anticipating, curious and even faintly wishful manner, her emotional response clearer than the outter expression. How much Shiva would have wanted to speak to her today, actually meet a real Medium today both in order to ask for help to find a Pokemon Spirit for her Cleanse tag in making as well as to see one in action, hoping that the spirits are benelovent and present when Shiva comes by - she does want to hone her own senses, become more empathic, dealing with Psychic Types known for their mindfulness and Fairy Types for emotionality can only contribute that much - Ventus' words about how her sensibility, that sensitive heart she has coming along with that emotionality, was not a weakness but a strength were words that impressed her. Before, she felt this being a curse and a blessing at the same time, and while this was true as it makes her keen to overreact in some situations or events, it makes her...unique. More than she already was. When she left departed by plane from her homeregion to get to Chreshire, she wouldn't have believed to develop in such directions - but she was enjoying it. Being more receptive and nurturing towards others, for now known Pokemon in the first place, feeling their needs and wants to bring up the care and help they need specifically - THAT was something that fascinated her. 'Outperforming' even him as the born empath - whether she would ever be that good she has no idea, but she silently desired to be just as good.
(That was part of the private conversation these two had after the Gemstone-Investigation Mesprit has seemingly given them.)


With that though, she eventually stepped out of the tent, immediately soaking up the fresh air after having bathed in all the various scents of the Violet Tent. Taking a look at the time on cell, she figured she still has a little more than half an hour before she's expected in front of the tent. A calm spot with some space nearby was quickly found, a park bench or similar, where she'll spend some time with three of her Pokemon:

Gothitelle and Furret were already out of the Balls, so they can stay out. Cottonee was allowed to take some rest within her Pokeball or close to Shiva right beside her, just like she prefers. In a flash ow white light, Nightshade has been summoned to the place as well! She chirped at Shiva, which earned her being picked up with both hands and held close while being tickled on the cheek in a playful and fond manner. Her dearest sunbringer... For a while now, Shiva enjoyed spending time grooming that small cherrylike Pokemon of hers, stroking over her delicate leaves with a soft brush and sprinkling Nightshade with a water from a spraying flask, all while she herself seemed to independantly increase some sunbeams to soak them up via Morning Sun. Shiva could feel the increased warmth of that on her skin, slightly smiling in the process and eventually starting to hum the melody of 'Skirl of the Southern Wind' to her and Nightshade. She's also investigating her Cherubi closely - is the small head intact? Is it blooming or giving hints that it's close to, pointing to an evolution coming closer? What impression was Nightshade giving out, was she a healthy Grass Type?

Meanwhile, Furret and Lilith were standing close facing each other, Furret was perked up and looked eager in wanting to show something to that noble Psychic Type who was (hopefully) mustering this lengthy furrball in curiosity. He stretched his small arms again and again, looking very concentrated everytime - Shiva was amused by that whenever she looked over, as it looked a bit like her Furret was using a Psychic Type move! In fact, she wasn't completely mistaken, as Furret was demonstrating Foresight to Lilith, showing that he too had some mental power within himself! Of course he can't look into the future this way as well as Lilith and her Future Sight could, but overall it was scene that was enjoyable to watch.

At some point, once having cared for Nightshade enough, Shiva would place her on her shoulder where she semi-hid between some strands of her hair in comfort, then call Furret to her. She said she'd give him a reward for having collected some jewels the last time they were at the Violet Tent, and it turned out to be grooming session itself! Furrets's head and upper body can rest comfortably on Shiva's lap while she brushing through his cream and brown ringed fur, while he was enjoying a full package of Gourmet Food all by himself.


Occassional time-checking allowed Shiva to on time in front of the tent where she pinned up the trade request for Druddigon, having Gothitelle beside and a red rose in her hair as described. The Great Ball containing the dragon is safely inside her pocket of skirt. Wonder how many people have come with goods or a particular Ice Type she hoped for which they wanted trade her for him...?


----------------------
Mechanics:
That's some reflection for Shiva and a Training Session for Nightshade, Gothitelle and Furret, including some bonding with Furret and Nightshade. She also checks the latter's state and how close she seems to be to evolution, and Furret can have some tasty Gourmet Food. Next thing to finish is the trading of Druddigon!
