Or fees or necessary payment, so unfortunately Shiva has to deny on the question whether she'd like to have it. She lights up rather quickly though: "Ah, but nevermind! I'll cherish that picture and and mark today as a day where I had lots of fun in Cress City's Violet Tent, and you deserve praise for making such a cool outfit! Eh..... Do you by chance have any protective gears as well? At best something against harsh weather, hail or so - while I'm having an umbrella and such, my Pokemon are at its mercy."
All the shopkeepers get along well with Shiva. The most perceptive among the vendors can sense Shiva even with their eyes closed...something about her presence is extraordinary to the artful.
Dressmaker: "Oh, I just love stormy days! Who wouldn't want to be out in them?"
Indeed, it has just begun to rain again, a pleasant sound on the thick canvas above.
"Why don't we go outside and I'll show you something? Hold still while I fasten this jewelry around your neck...it works on both humans and Pokemon."
You feel cold, slick metal against your throat and around your neck. Feels like fine chain links, with something heavier at the base. The dressmaker won't let you pick it up to look at it, not yet. "Oh, let it be a surprise!"
You troop outside into the rain.
You can feel the difference immediately. The rain gives only a slight tingle on your skin, no impact or sharp cold is felt. What's more, you feel the strange sensation of something sprouting from your head! Touching it, you find it is a pair of small & supple antennae, about as long as a finger and with a slight curl in them.
Smiling and laughing, the Dressmaker hands you a mirror. You see two little lavender horns sticking up between your hair, and you find you can wiggle them like antennae or even retract them. You're more able to sense the mild wind currents with these, and they absorb rainwater very quickly.
You finally see what you're wearing around your neck, too: a mauve scale, smaller than a fingernail and trimmed in gold. Unlike your old Dragon Scale, it's supple and slightly rubbery to the touch.
"It's a Goodra Scale! Specially treated and filigreed, it has a chance (50%) to absorb hail or flying sand (damaging weather), causing these horns to sprout up, hehe! A Pokemon with the horns becomes a little stronger, just like Goodra's Sap Sipper! Do you like it? It's worth $7500 to me."
When the holder of this item is subject to rain, hail, or sandstorm weather at the end of the round, I roll a dice. If it's a success, the Pokemon gains +1 Attack for the duration of the weather, and doesn't take damage that round. Each subsequent round it rolls again to avoid the weather damage, but it keeps the Attack boost. The boost is treated as a held item rather than an Ability so it doesn't stack with moves.
The horns are mostly cosmetic.
