[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

Heart with success in his scout mission and proud tell the other the information. "I back people! And come back with neat information. There some strange coal ahead. The coal gives way to strange, narrow tunnels whose ceilings are pierced by extremely hairy roots. In places, the tunnels are made entirely of thick root mats. Little glow-in-the-dark ferns grow from the roots now and then. Also, there is some horse of Grass Pokemon ahead. To be more specefic, Shroomish and Paras. We can avoid them if we go to another path to not have conflict. But since we gonna face whatever the Scimitars might throw to us, I think we should use that opportunity to train a bit (aka farm some good XP). I think thats a good chance to bring Abbandon and Rose to battle. Safeguard can help us quite a lot." Then Heart look to Ventus. "Uh, if you permited of course Ventus. Also, I might need some extra pair of hands to deal to train too." Then Heart look to Shiva. "How about we take care of these pokemon Shiva? Youre pokemon could use some extra training. Not they are weak, but more power is always welcome."

H....how relieving that Heart made it to come back unharmed from his scouting, simply the thought that something could have happened while he was all alone was....well, unpleasant. Now however, she impercibly let go off that breath she was holding without having fully realized.

The tunnel was just like Heart has described, but yet Shiva could not help but to feel awed. First a coal biome with such precious crystals, and now a place filled with roots of various thickness, potentionally filled with Grass Types? She hasn't really imagined that it could be so beautiful down the earth - if it could only be measured how many miles below the surface they currently and by now were. Naturally, these glow-in-the dark ferns have immediately caught her attention, she rest of Heart's words she only listened to half-hearted. These ferns... They don't seem to look like the rare Kobra-tongued fern, and she couldn't spot nor smell any Power Herbs while having her gaze wander along the roots. Only a CUTE Snivy was all calmly wandering along one, how does it survive down here without sunlight? Two Ferroseed were silently busy with absorbing minerals from the cave wall. Humm... Hopefully later down the line Shiva can make it to obtain a few of these ferns (not the roots, these are Ven's) to place them in a small glass jar as a natural light down here, as well as for analyzing it later. A bit like fireflies Volbeats <3

Only when Heart looked at her she perked up as as has just been awoken from a daydream, blinking at him from the side in suprise of being asked to join him in taking care of these Paras and Shoomish. Usually Shiva would be all down for it if there weren't one obstacle she's well aware off - both species are known to release spores upon contact, their effect might be fatal and ranges from sleep over allergies to poison. Ugh... But... "If we can get a Safeguard up before they come at us or we attack 'em, then I'm all down to help you in dealing with these Paras and Shroomish. Let's see how we can..... Ah!" Eagerly, she drew one hand of spicy Pokemon Food, a half of normal Pokemon Food and a half of dried berries from her stuff. "Have you already visited a Safari Zone once, Heart? There, food like this is used as a bait to distract an encountered Pokemon, as battling is usually not allowed within these zones. While I'll try to get as close to them as possible without putting me in too much danger to offer this, you use the moment to cast a Safeguard over us, under which we'll deal with them then. This will protect us from nasty effects of their released spores, and as soon as it fades I can still have Tropius blow any spores away before they'll reach us." ...... "Does that...sound like a plan?"

With that said, the fae-and-grass enthusiast lets her gaze wander over the roots once more, keeping an eye open especially for the hiding spots of Paras and Shroomish. What image/feeling does she get from them, more agressive, more curious, or anythingelse? If it feels safe, she'll try to get as close as possible to then throw the hands of food towards them before returning backwards while Heart prepares that Safeguard, then she'll release her Pokemon to deal with them amongside Rose.
If it does not feel safe... she'll think twice before coming closer, but depending whether they have noticed her or not, avoiding the Encounter might not be possible anymore (?).
