The heat of the Inferno, the temperature of the blazing flames - it was intense! It crashed over the scene like a wave, causing Shiva to protectively raise her arms in front of her and close her eyes, yet she was afraid despite somehow knowing that things were under control.

Having missed a second of the battle by doing so, she only lowered her guard again as the captain thanked her for support ordered from her fae rabbit. A positive feeling has been awoken, strength has been rekindled and renewed, assurance and hope were running again through her bloodstream! They'll make it. Odds were on their side. If nothing went horribly amiss, in the end it'll be THEM who will be the last one standing, bathing in the sense of......

.....victory. VICTORY! They succeeded, the Sableye were defeated and chased away, they made it! ...Dearest Reshiram. It was completely true what Shiva has suspected, while the danger and threat of this fight were very real and close in massive contrary to any boss battle on screen, the sense of RIGHTNESS and MIGHT as the foe fell was just as real. Now Shiva staggered, thrown off-guard and overwhelmed by that experience, and eventually fell forward on her knees, gasping for breath.

Immediately, both Yena and Azumarill perked up, and came close to their Master - Azu patted her on the shoulder with a worried expression, but gifted Shiva a CONFIDENT smile as soon their gaze met. Weakly, Shiva returned it. Letting out a last and loud howl at the non-visible moon, the mighty butterwolfy began to wag his tail and lick over Shiva's hand, hoping for praise.... Which he received in a scratch and stroke over his massive neck that was practically dripping with fondness. "Hehe.... Haaahhh... Good moves there, both of you. I knew you....*gasp* wouldn't serve to dissappoint me, Yena.... You've grown so much since you leaped in front of me there on Route 4."

Even Dizzy came to Shiva now, having calmed down now that the threat has been dispeled. Quick-checking on all her three Pokemon, much to her delight barely anyone of them has taken damage! No immediate healing needed. Was this the hidden benefit of not being a super-strong battler, being left alone by foes?

With all Yena's, Azu's and Dizzy's help, Shiva made it to stand up again, and when Captain bridge turned to them and spoke his words of thanks, Shiva strengthened and salutated once more.


"A....Always, captain! Glad we made it in the end under your guidance! Where...will you head now, will we ever see you and your soldiers again?"
