[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

Bus stops, pavilions in the park, cafes, the Museum, etc. Tons of options.

Shiva's stroll through town eventually led her to Relic Café, the place where not too long ago a pleasant lunch has been shared with Professor Mallorn. Haha... Simply thinking back to this quality time magiced a small smile and a held-back chuckle in amusement over how laid-back he actually was beneath all the knowledge and work dedicated to Pokemon and research, as well made her think of the uniqueness of her Special Poochyena he explained to her.

Once she found a free table at the side from where she can view over the townstreet, she ordered a latte for herself and a black tea without sugar for her Pokemon, before summoing Spritzee - because it was about time to work with her on widening the scents she could produce -, Lilith - because Shiva grew to enjoy the presence of a Pokemon controlling strong psychic powers - and her new white Vulpix- in order to introduce herself to it - to keep her company.

Sweet Spritzee receives a stroke under her beak and is very allowed to sit on her Master's/mother's shoulder while hiding between some strands of her hair, Gothitelle can stay by her side or take a seat herself while watching the rain and what Shiva does, while she herself brings her attention Vulpix, fondly smiling to it and letting it sniff on her extended hand before she spoke up in a soft tone of voice. "Well, hello, dear one. People call me Shiva, and from on I will be your owner and caretaker, making sure that you're healthy, happy and pretty. Your former owner has traded you over to me for a dragon I caught, but you may already know this. Haaahhh... Now to think about it, it's probably a bit sad that when trades between people are agreed, the Pokemon itself is only rarely asked what it thinks about this, whether it agrees as well. So, ehm, how do you feel? Would you accept me as your new Master, are you willing to try it with me? At first, how about having something for breakfast, hm?"

At that point, Shiva slid over the black tea and offered a portion of the spicy Pokemon Food from Arrowroot Village from her hollow hand to the white fox. It's not Rawst Berries, but at least something of a smiliar taste!


Once Vulpix has reacted to this and hopefully consumed the food, Shiva offered a thankful look to her (to Vulpix I mean, it's a female exemplar), before she reached into her backpack once again and drew that book about the rasing of a Spritzee and Cottonee's shortly shed cotton to place both onto the table, making a gesture that Vulpix can gladly examinate this white stuff that was just as fluffy as she herself looked. She then left the white fox alone at first, letting it set the pace of getting to know each other and calmly and slowly paged through the book to learn about how a Spritzee can be conditioned to a new scent - if Vulpix expresses being fine around her, Shiva may even read a few passages aloud to get the fox used to her voice.

Mechanics:
Before we'll get to some Training, we'll have to learn about what to do with Spritzee at all, as well as start things slow with Alolan Vulpix before asking her to show Shiva her skills with Snow Warning. I'd like to have a good start with this super-rare fox because it's something special and the chances that she'll become a frequently used member of the Team are high, a tad bit inspired of Lillie and Snowy.

As said, Shiva will stay here at the Café with these three Pokemon out for quite a while, if anyone from the party would like or need to approach her, they can do so.
