[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

The question of questions follows, in which Shiva only faces her Gothitelle from the side. "Now....will you, well, agree to hold that ritual to me once the time and setting are right, will you accept this as a late celebration with me?"

Lilith gracefully bows again. She's lost a lot of her concerns about having a trainer.

Awwww. That agreement, that positivity Shiva could feel from Gothy - it was touching something deep within her. Her smile grew a little bit of wider as she faced her again after having returned her bow. "I'll take that as a 'yes'. Thank you, really... I'll anticipitate that event and will get to prepares things when we're out of the mountain. Hope you'll like it... All you'd have to do to prepare yourself is keeping a vivid mind, but  you're a Psychic Type anyway, so it shouldn't be an issue for you at all. Right?~ Now... You know, you can actually stay out of your Ball for today if you wish. Just try not to wander away from us without letting me know, alright? We're all out of that Seikamater's aura, but it's still dark and dangerous out here."

The same goes for Cottonee, Yena and Dizzy. The fluffball does either rest on Shiva's shoulder or head while hiking down the tunnel or can take a mount on Yena who's loyally flanking his alpha female's side. Gothitelle can follow or walk on her own pace, same with Dizzy - the latter is asked to stay close to Shiva and warn her if he picks up anything dangerous or otherwise troublesome with his horn.

The Frozen Hurtloam does also 'leave' it's dormant state today, Shiva noticed this as she reached into the pocket of her Ranger's cloak as she was putting it on. Ahhh, yes, turning it in her hands a little definitely gave her that feeling of a healing power obscured in this black mud.

4. Name: Valuable Statue
Bid start: 3
Cap: 1
Notes: In some Tall Grass, a bit like a shrine, partially obscured.

Onward they all went while Shiva almost per usualy by now watched the walls and path around, much to her delight the weird Tall Grass has not found an end yet!~ That, and from what she could spot there were...Slakoth around. Most of them didn't really cared to even hide themselves, they were just lazing around like their idol, the big and infamous Snorlax who enjoy blocking roads in Kanto just because. Something in her mind rang as her gaze and the one from one of the Slakoth met - it all calmly returned Shiva's frowning look. She averted it and scanned the area once more - ah, there were the others, Slowpoke! One of them yawned as she was watching them. Slakoth and Slowpoke.... If Shiva remembers correctly, these two Pokemon were hints to the Secret Library, that they are getting close. How intriguing and ironic, just yesterday she asked herself for how much longer they may have to search....

Wandering through the Tall Grass again after having told the others, Shiva went on to investigate what kinds of Pokemon lay roam here, her Pokemon currently out following. She didn't find any Pokemon though - she found a plant in bloom! Kneeing down to it and illuminating it with her flashlight, she recognized it as the unique Kirlia Slipper! How beautiful it was, orchids in general were somehow her favourite blooming plants. With a general interesting in flora and 3 points in Nature Speciality, what can Shiva tell more about this kind of plant? Any interesting lore, any practical uses like Spindleweed or medical uses that'd reason her collecting one or two, leaving enough for Nathan? And, could she actually dig one of them out and later sell or gift it to Tam at the Violet Tent? (That was the herbalist Shiva turned to with the first pink petal.)

Either way, she was wondering how many of them were growing here, so started to part the Tall Grass a little in her investigation.
