Big Original Post to have it all in one place

"Oh...that fits some new pieces into the puzzle. No, no, I really can't discuss more, dear. Anything else, you ask? Well, there's a little thing, nothing to do with Codename: Dizzy. One of my students is challenging the Champion tonight. Jo Boswe is her name, a real rising star of a trainer. I gave her her first Pokemon, a specially bred Furfrou. I know you aren't one for battling, but if you're interested you could catch the news coverage and get a glimpse of that Furfrou. That's all!"

Now that were news. "You.....your student, you say....." That is said in a lower and faintly wishful tone of voice. So they're indeed taking students - for now though, Shiva's way too shy to ask how to become a student of this sweet Daycare Couple, especially since she hasn't even yet enrolled at Telperion Uni. If she could....work at their Daycare during semester breaks or so to gain a bit more practical experience, that'd be the ultima.......

Cottonee nudging her eagerly brougth her and her mind back from carefully built cloud-castles and to the current room again. "Eh, I'll try to take a look at the news and especially that Furfrou, thank you for the hint! It's...cool that you're also giving out Starter Pokemon... (*gasp* Have they also bred her Cottonee that she received from Professor Mallorn??) Well, if that's all then, give Wir my greets and hear or even see your soon! Expect the gauntlet arriving this morning still."

**click*, followed by an impercible sigh and packing away of cell*


Well, with that done, Shiva makes some room at the table of the dorm. There was one more thing she wanted to do before she can make her way out of the Pokemon Center and towards a particular place here in Cress City: The reviving of 1 Kirlia Slipper, although Shiva draws all three she has collected to check on their state. By now they're probably dried and dormant, but their effect should still be unchanged.

3 successes in a Nature Roll will do it as stated here, and all her Grass Types can watch. There's currently no Pokemon with her who can aid by bringing luck, but maybe a Morning Sun from Nightshade and Raphael will help a little?

"Oh, this was years ago. Jo has been hard at work since then! We'll see if she's got what it takes - at this point I can't really take any credit. She's a hard worker though. I think she'll do well. Bye now!" *click*

Insight + Survival + Nature: (5)(5)(5)(4)(2)(6) (6)(3)(4)(4)(6) 

An incredible success. With the influence of a Morning Sun and Shiva's ministrations, the Kirlia Slipper root greens up within the water. Very soon it will sprout again, as early as tomorrow morning! It can be planted today, and Shiva knows some places in Cress City having the perfect soil types.

With another impercible and long sigh Shiva packs her cell away after Golda has hung up. "A hard worker, huh...?" She quietly says more to herself as she lets her gaze rest on her own Pokemon and remembers how things have been shortly after the receiving of Cottonee from Professor Mallorn. So many things have changed and she can definitely tell that she has grown in one way or the other - Could it be said that...she has been hard working as well? Well, maybe not directly on her battle skills (not solely, at last), but in various things? And why does she meet or hear from so many people she can look up to while traveling this region?! One thing's for certain though - She'll follow the broadacts or at least the news about Jo's Final Match to catch a glimpse on her and her Furfrou. She should be...back in time even with a battle herself in Stair City.


How the sweet Kirlia Slipper said 'thank you' for being placed in a glass filled with Vaporeon's water was delightful to watch and instantly elaborated Shiva's mood to a good degree!~ Tam will rejoice. Not today though - The sun has almost reached its peak and it may not do the orchid well to be planted during noon. After all, it grew within the darkness of Mount Sentry! For now it can remain here on the window sill in the glass and soak up more water with its root before it'll probably be planted [/b]later this day in the ancient grove of trees within Celebi Park.[/b] (That's the only place with the perfect soil that I can imagine?) Shiva found Nightshade curiously mustering the flower. Maybe she'll be able to bloom as well if Master made it to revive this beautiful plant??


That was dealt with and by now Shiva feels fine enough to leave the dorm and 'really' get started on the day. Or rather, get some errands done. Next Stops: Bill's PC and Violet Tent. But before that can happen... A light pet over the forehead of napping Dizzy and he gave her an awake and alerted look with his youth gleaming in his eyes. "Alright, Dizzy... I've called your trainers and hatchers. Good news, your delivery has arrived them and turns out to be valuable for further operations. Good job! They've also told me...that you know what to do, your mission's not yet over. It continues here in Cress City...." *small break and a chance for Dizzy to react* "I'm, well... Ah, I'm having stuff to do and will therefor leave you roam free. I'll go out, but I'm leaving the door of this room open. Alright? You're yet young, but you've decently showed that you are a CAPABLE young. You'll likely know how to not get in trouble. People here in Creshire may be a little...biased about your species, so please take care of yourself. To prevent anyone from chasing you away or even trying to catch you, please take this." A black ribbon with yellow rims gets loosely wrapped around Dizzy's neck, it's the same one Shiva usually ties the bow of her outfit. "It faintly smells after me, correct. Use the scent to find me or find back to this room if needed, if things are very urgent you can also try to find the others of the group. Except...Ventus, ah.... Nevermind. I won't ask you about your business, but please stay safe, will you?"



With that said and done... She withdraws all her Pokemon except Raphael, Vaporeon and Dizzy, and leaves the room while the latter stays in. If he'd follow her or wishes to accompany her a little, she won't object.


So, Preparations before heading to the fleemarket of the occult Shiva has grown so fond of: The plan is to wrap up ALL three trades in one visit, it'll all take up the second Encounter Slot. If this trip can count as a concealed and independant Training Session for Yena as he gets to know all the various scents there that's be optimal as well - butterwolfly's getting a lot of attention at the moment, but the earlier he got his new move the earlier I can head to Corsage Port for Gym Battle and the earlier I'm fine with leaving Cress. Third and last Encounter of today will be a battle, then we can rest and plant an orchid and watch the news.

At Bill's PC, a semi-big group swap is done: Cottonee *sob*, Vulpix, Nightshade are deposited while Marowak, Smore and *Frillish are withdrawn. The Eevee Egg is withdrawn as well and Vaporeon can watch as it's carefully placed within the Fast Incubator and further secured with the fluff off Cottonee and Primal Altaria!~ It's also scanned with the Egg Checker on her Almanac for status and gestation process.


With THAT done, Shiva finally steps out into the fresh air while the sliding door of the Pokemon Center closes with a low 'whooooosh' behind her and Raphael and Yena beside her. There are still clouds - but it promises to be a brighter day later. Onward to the Violet Tent then is it - has anything changed since the last time Shiva has been there?
