"...League named him 'Dizzy', short for 'Disaster'." She slowly withdraws her hand again now after having petted these two elusive felines enough for now now, then makes attempts to move on along the path speaking further as she walks, motioning for the young Absol to please follow her and stick by her side.

"They've also warned me that we're having a high chance to meet these.......Scimitars along the way, somewhere and sometime." Nothing visibly changes about Shiva's expression and body language when saying that, but from how she almost spitted out that one word in coldness, it's relatively easy to get that she has not forgotten her grudge one these people, caused by her run-in with these guards when infiltrating their base in Wineberry Town.

No particular preparations from my side, but Shiva's visibly fascinated and charmed by that Slurpuff Mr. Finder sends out! Awww <3 Such a cute Pokemon, and barely one could fit him better that this fairy-dog with a sense of smell 100 million times better than a standard humans!~

When they encounter that little side tunnel leading into darkness, she does take a shy look into it, already shivering from the thought of heading down there, before she catches her again quickly due to the fact that she's not alone here as well as that they all prepared sufficiently for this trip. Seeing how Geodude ('How delightful to see him again, and even willing to help us~', she thought to herself) floated forward to start digging, Shiva summons her familiar waterly fae rabbit, wo blinked at the current surrounding before concentrating on her beloved Master. "Azu, dear one," she adressed her Azumarill calmly, "please lend Geodude your Helping Hand to dig, and continue helping to widen the entrance of this side tunnel with your Huge Power when he gets tired."

If an Accuracy Roll is needed, it consists of 7d6. My Furret is missing 2xp to learn Helping Hand, so he has to watch the scene instead of helping as well.

Nathan likes the sound of that nickname.  He makes no further comments, but he's far from surprised that Scimitars might be down there.

There's also a noticeable difference in how the two Absol move and carry themselves.  While Dizzy tends to stick closer to darker corners, Calam stands confidently in the open, looking every bit like the experienced, swift, battle hardened survivalist that he is.  Calam still tries to stay relatively close to Dizzy, though.

Nathan brings out Ditto!  ...er, Sableye Ditto, that is.  Sableye are pretty good at digging too.  Gotta get those gemstones somehow!  Keen Eye and being able to see in the dark should help a lot, too. (I believe this is Shiva's first time seeing Ditto's random transformations)

"Ditto, help out Geodude with the digging, please."
