[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

(...) Ventus then exited the Pokémon Center and waited for Shiva, silently greeting her with a wave and a smile with banshee by his side.

(Alright, I'll leave you to do the intiation and testing out the Cleanse Tag on Malphena, while I wait for you to transition us to the Graveyard. I rather keep conversation to a minimum/on the way/in the Cementary, as I want to get the next day started ASAP so that we can FINALLY go after the Secret Library in earnest!)

(I didn't mean to speak much during that trip either in the first place, maybe only if we've finished the Encounter and wait for the other to be ready for the next Day as well, so it's fine!~ @Spiritmon, feel free to initiate the in-game trade with me whenever you like.)


The time the sliding door of the Eastern Pokemon Center went open with a silent 'swooosh' to allow Shiva stepping out into the clean air of traditional Cress City, a velvet curtain of darkness was already resting on the town in pleasant silence. Roughly two hours after the sun went down. The nocturnal sky was decorated with an immense number of stars looking down onto the world, thanks to the low light pollution here Shiva was able to greet them with a meaningful look as she turned her gaze upwards, all while imprecibly sucking in the chill, it was pretty refreshing after all the wamth during the day.

Regardless of how cold it may yet become, Shiva will stay warm as she's wearing her Ranger's cloak (due to Eternally Gold in its pocket, her own Vitality is locked to 3 but in return her Defense can't be lowered nor raised [how could she do that, actually?], in case 'anything' may target her directly). By her sides, were her butterwolfly who was giving out a faint light due to his natural bioluminiscence as well as a small cloud of shield dust; as well as leader-Furret who was a little too big to have him on her shoulder.

As the small group's leader (Shiva) spotted a familar young man in orange hair and cuddly green tweed sweaters, a coy yet honest smile formed on her expression, and in a graceful movement she was right by his side with a waving cloak. At first, she didn't say anything and simply rejoiced in silence that he appeared to the agreep time and place, but eventually she softly spoke up. "Ven, dearest, good evening! It's good to see that you've...came in the end to accompany me on my trip."

That was indeed all that came from her, for now she's respectfully ignoring that Misdreavus by Ventus' side as he instead let an occupied Great Ball fall into her palmed hand from the long sleeve of the cloak, before in a familiar white light her own Ghost Type has been summoned to join as well - it was Shiva's Litwick, and she summoned it onto the back of her hand, enjoying the eerie glow of his bluish-purple flame that he soon elighted upon being summoned. True story, she knows that not too long ago her love himself had problems with a Chandelure (she rememebers), but she trusts in him not being put on edge as 1. he already knows and even fed life force to her Litwick and 2. Shiva's Litwick has nothing to do with the Ghosts at the Candelabra.

Mechanics:
Meeting up with Ventus all prepared to depart, not saying a thing or even react to Malphena at first from Shiva's side. That Cleanse Tag is close by Shiva in another inner pocket of her Ranger's cloak, so definitely 'in effect'(?). How do Malphena and Litwick react, can they 'feel' that Tag, @Iron?
